182 Causes and Consequences

Bai Shu looked at Bai Xijing's similar face and sighed: "Yes, someone set fire, I know. But what can it do? We can't afford to offend Dazhao, and for you, I have to spoil Meifei.

Bai Xijing didn't have much emotional ups and downs on her face when she heard the words. Her eyes were bottomless black. She took a look at Bai Ziyu and then said, "At that time, you obviously rushed into the watery palace. Why didn't you come out with your mother? Why did the mother disappear in the name of a monk? Father, do you have something to hide from us?"

"Bumbang." A soft knock on the door interrupted the dull atmosphere in the room. Bai Ziyu nodded to Bai Qian and said, "I'll go."

And Bai Xijing still looked at Bai Cong, her voice was very soft but a little tired: "Father, someone told me that the bones of the mother's concubine... are incomplete, isn't she......"

When Bai Ziyu came in with the medicine bowl, he happened to hear Bai Xijing say this. His face darkened, but he did not stop Bai Xijing. Instead, he went to Bai Jing's bed and handed the medicine bowl to Bai Jing. After serving Bai Jing after drinking the medicine, he took the medicine bowl but did not immediately walk away, but reached out and pressed Bai Xijing's shoulder to open his mouth. He said, "Xier, help me return the medicine bowl to Siqin."

After saying that, regardless of Bai Xijing's reaction, Bai Xijing stood up. After Bai Xijing looked at him doubtfully, he did not refuse to take the medicine bowl and walked out. Bai Ziyu then looked at Bai Yu and said, "Father, Xier just wants to know the truth. Some words may not sound good. I hope you don't blame me. And does your father know what you say about every nightmare?

Bai Min's expression became more and more gloomy. How could he not know? Since he fell ill, he often dreamed of her: "Yuer, do you think you can find your mother after your father dies?"

"Yes, because the mother concubine is the most distressed person in the world."

Bai Shu didn't say any more, but put his hands on his chest and waited for Bai Xijing to walk to the bedside. Then he said, "Your mother's concubine is from the Zhou Dynasty. After the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty, all the royal families have been slaughtered. Only your mother's ancestors escaped this disaster. And Dazhou's treasure map also disappeared at that time. Everyone thought that the family where your mother's concubine lived hid the treasure map, but in fact... it's not true. By chance, the treasure map actually fell into the hands of the first king of the State of White. But for the sake of the treasure map, for the sake of Bai Guo, I can't tell this matter. I can only let your mother and concubine bear this responsibility.

I thought I could protect her well, but since ancient times, the palace has been a place of right and wrong. I don't know how the news that she was from the Great Zhou Dynasty spread. For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on the State of Bai.

The State of Bai is weak. Dazhao came to the State of Bai again and again for treasure, and the State of Ye, Fang and Chen also waited for the opportunity to move. That day, when I was accompanying Da Zhao's messenger for dinner, someone came to report that the Jinhua Hall, where Xiyue temporarily lived, had gone. Looking at the expression of the Da Zhao's messenger, I knew that they came for the treasure map this time. I wanted to go to the Jinhua Hall, but I was hindered by the messenger. When I arrived at the Jinhua Hall, what came into my eyes was the firelight.

No palace person found Xiyue. I was very anxious. Finally, I gritted my teeth and rushed into the fire, but I didn't want to find most of the room. The person I found was not Xiyue, but... Qingyi. The blue coat was tied to a corner of the room, wearing a big red cloak and a golden lock hanging on his chest, which looked extremely strange. When she saw me, she smiled faintly at me. As usual, she said, 'Wang, I'm sorry, I'm afraid Qingyi can't be with you anymore.' I looked down with her eyes and found that...

found that her lower body was hit by the burned beam, and the cyan skirt had already been blood red, and her whole leg looked completely... empty. I wanted to save her, but she asked me to turn around and stop looking at her. She said, 'Wang, thank you for spoiling Qingyi for so many years. Qingyi knows that Wang is worried about the treasure map. Qingyi is willing to help Wang deal with this matter and just asks Wang to protect our children from any harm.'

I don't know what expression she looked when she said this. All I know is that she knows everything. I know that the treasure map is in my hand, that one day I can't protect her, and I know what is the most important thing in my heart. But she was indisputable, not noisy, and even smiled quietly, so humble.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the blue clothes were hurt too badly. I couldn't save her. I wanted the bodyguard to pick her up from under the beam, but she didn't let anyone get close. She just said that she didn't want people to see her so embarrassed.

Later, I heard someone coming here. I was afraid that it was a big man, so... so I cruelly left Qingyi and left. By the time I saw Qingyi again, she had turned into a pile of white bones. And Xiyue also died. I didn't keep my promise to protect our children.

It was just one night, I lost two relatives, but I couldn't tell anyone, and I could only silently feel sad in my heart.

No one knows that Qingyi was once in Jinhua Hall, so no one knows that the skeleton is actually Qingyi. I can't bury her, so I can only quietly send her to the royal mausoleum without any name. According to her last words, I put the treasure map in the Luohua Hall where she lived before her death, and left the Luohua Hall idle for people to come and go. I don't know what Qingyi finally did. Since her death, fewer and fewer people have come to Bai to look for treasure maps.

Later, I asked Mr. Daoyi, and then I knew what the dress before Qingyi represented. It was the sacrifice of Dazhou. Qingyi was treated as a sacrifice before his death. It was rumored that the souls of those who died would be bound and could no longer find revenge.

I can't save Qingyi, and I don't have the courage to avenge Qingyi. Even if it was slowly found out that it was the instructions of Emperor Xuan of Qin, and even if it was suspected that Concubine Mei was in the way, I could only open one eye and turn a blind eye. If I hadn't been hiding the treasure map and pushed everything to your mother and concubine to bear, if I hadn't been afraid that Dazhao would have fled unfavorable to the White State, Qingyi would have... Qingyi would not have died!

It's me. I killed Qingyi.

When Bai Qian said at the end, he showed an extremely tired and sad expression. His voice was very low, and Bai Xijing and Bai Ziyu couldn't help but look gloomy.

For a long time, no one spoke first.

Bai Xijing looked at Bai Shu and finally sighed heavily, "Father, now even you have abandoned everything you want to keep... You can't protect it. What are you going to do?"
