179 Welcome back

Quietly is the sound of parting. They can only be silent, because they don't want to see each other's sad faces because of parting. So that's it. They have never said goodbye, just like they have never been separated.

Bai Xijing slowly clenched her hands and let the little wetness in her palm slowly evaporate. She took a deep breath. When she turned around again, the clear face returned to her usual calmness. She looked at Siqin and said lightly, "Pack it up. We are ready to go."

Siqin didn't expect Bai Xijing's reaction. Originally, he thought that Fang Siyuan would leave without saying goodbye. Bai Xijing would definitely be angry after knowing it, but he didn't expect Bai Xijing to accept it so calmly. He didn't react for a while, so he was stunned for a while before he answered, "Yes, the maidservant will clean up immediately."

"Where's Du Kang?" Bai Xijing asked.

"When I returned to the princess, Lord Du said that an old man came and he went to greet him." Siqin told Bai Xijing what Du Kang said.

Bai Xijing's eyes softened a lot when he heard the words. He lowered his voice and muttered, "I think he must be here. I really miss him." The words were very emotional, as if he thought of something. Bai Xijing raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled.

After Siqin packed her clothes, she waited for Bai Xijing downstairs for breakfast. The group sat in the lobby and waited for Du Kang's arrival.

After about half an hour, as the light dimmed at the door of the lobby, Bai Xijing looked up and saw a smiling gentle person standing next to Du Kang at a glance. He suddenly felt warm in his heart. Bai Xijing didn't care about any etiquette and ran to the man. He wanted to hug him, but he didn't dare It's like being afraid that it's an illusion.

The man smiled gently, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and took a step forward to hug Bai Xijing: "Princess, welcome back. Zige once said that Zige has always been in Bai. If one day you want to come back, Zige will definitely bring wine and tea to wait for you." After saying that, Su Zige gave a winp look at the guard accompanying him, and the guard came up with wine.

"Once again, welcome home, Xijing." This sentence is told to you as a friend.

Bai Xijing was moved. After drinking the wine handed over by Su Zige, he whispered with red eyes, "Well, I'm back."

Welcome back.

I'm back.

The simplest words in the world are full of too many feelings between them.

Du Kang coughed gently and said, "Let's talk about it on the way."

Bai Xijing and Su Zige nodded and took the lead in walking out of the inn. Su Zige originally came on horseback, but because he wanted to talk to Bai Xijing, he handed over the horse to Du Kang and followed Bai Xijing into the carriage: "Does any questions?"

"How's the matter with the letter I wrote to you the other day?" Bai Xijing obviously has a lot to say, but when he thinks of the current situation, he has to confirm these things first.

Su Zige immediately said solemnly when he heard the words, "Yes, all the things the princess entrusted have been done, and everything is ready to go back to the palace. The princess can return to the palace with a just name, and the people must be looking forward to the princess returning to China.

After all, Bai Xijing married to the State of Ye. Now she is afraid that returning to China will cause some people to chew their tongues, which will have a negative impact on her. So she asked Su Zige to help her with several things, which made her return to China logical and conform to the hearts of the people. In particular, the reason why he returned to Bai from Ye Guo must be explained, as well as the marriage contract with Ye Lin.

Bai Ziyu has already sent a notice to explain to her in the palace, while Su Zige helped her spread many beneficial words among the people, and then donated silver in her name to help the people who were homeless because of the war.

Listening to Su Zige tell her about the current situation of Bai Guo, Bai Xi nodded: "Now that Ye Lin is seriously injured and the new king has ascended the throne, there will not be much movement for the time being. But is it a little inappropriate for you to leave the army like this?

Su Zige shook his head and said, "It's okay. Han Yu has now taken over the affairs of the army. The prince called me back to the palace. I saw that the princess's inn was not far from the army station, so I wanted to take the princess back to the palace."

Bai Xijing smiled lightly: "I'm very relieved if General Han is here. By the way, there is one thing that I still don't know.

"What's the matter?" Su Zige raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Six months after I went to Ye Guo, I heard that you got married. I don't know who Zige's wife is?" Bai Xijing was a little depressed, because everyone knew who his wife was, but no one was willing to tell her. Siqin and Du Kang, every time they heard her ask this question, they turned around and ran away or perfunctory. So that she still doesn't know who his wife is.

Su Zige didn't expect that she said so and couldn't help but be stunned. Suddenly, a haze flashed on her handsome face, but she soon regained her usual smile: "Speaking of which, she is an acquaintance of the princess."

"My acquaintance?" Bai Xijing thought about it but still didn't figure out who it was. Suddenly, she remembered a woman she met when she and Su Zige went out of the palace to see the lantern show. Although she was not a famous family, she was also a scholar and seemed to be called Xia Wenjun. After hearing this, Su Zige often met her.

"Is it Xia Wenjun?" Bai Xijing thought about it and then said uncertainly.

Unexpectedly, Su Zige shook his head, and then looked out of the carriage window. A gust of wind rose. The curtain of the carriage was lifted by the wind. Silver snowflakes with white light appeared in front of Bai Xijing, and Su Zige smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth, reflecting the scenery outside the window.

No, it's better to say that the smile is too bitter than to say that he is smiling, as if tears will fall the next moment. That smile made Bai Xijing suddenly speechless. That's an expression that Su Zige has never shown before.

Su Zige slowly said, "The person I married is... Bai Zhixin."

Bai Xijing didn't know what to say for a moment: "Why, why is it her, Zige, are you..."

"To protect the White State and let the king rest assuredly give me the military power, I must show my loyalty. Xijing, you know, the only way to reassure the king is... marriage. Su Zige said slowly.

Can't you choose a home because you have to carry the country?

"So...what about Xia Wenjun?"

Su Zige was stunned for a moment before he said, "How can the woman I like wrong her to be a concubine? What's more, she has passed away. On the day I got married, I heard that she fell into the water while walking by the river."

Bai Xijing turned pale and suddenly didn't know what to say. Everyone has their own suffering, everyone has their own helplessness, but even with these, they still have to move forward.

"Don't worry, although I don't like Bai Zhixin, I will still treat her well."
