188 Royal Secret

"You...what did you say, how can it be... How can it be Xiyue, Xier, don't talk nonsense." Bai Ziyu stabilized his mind and then said, but even he found that his voice was trembling slightly, which was not convincing at all.

Bai Xijing looked at the bones in the sarcophagus. She lay on a red satin and looked very sad, but she didn't feel that way. She stretched out her hand very gently and brushed it on the skeleton's left hand: "Brother, do you remember that Xiyue's hand was broken because of learning to ride a horse? Later, even if she took it, it was a little different from ordinary people. Brother, look... this hand..."

Bai Ziyu looked down at the position where Bai Xijing's hand stopped. The bone of the left hand did have traces of retaken, and the bone leaned slightly inward, which was indeed completely consistent with Xiyue's conditions.

"And...this dress..." Bai Xijing handed the white brocade in her hand to Bai Ziyu, and her expression was confused and slightly sad: "Even if it has turned a little yellow, I still remember that this is the dress Xiyue wore that day, with a large area of green lotus embroidered on it."

That day, when she and Xiyue were playing, suddenly appeared around them and asked them to hand over the treasure map. They wanted to shout, but they found that no matter how much they shouted, there was silence outside, no human voice, only a strong smell of blood. They were scared, but they laughed happily when they saw that they were so afraid of the people in black. They said that if they didn't know, they would use them to threaten Bai restraint.

She still remembers that at that time, the mother's concubine opened the door with someone, and those people quickly fought with the men in black. In the chaos, the mother concubine squatted down and gently hugged them, and the hug gave them warm power. She still remembers that at that time, the mother concubine lowered her head and said to Xiyue, "Xiyue, you are my sister. My sister must protect my sister, right?"

Xiyue pulled her and nodded: "Yes."

"So, the mother teaches you how to protect your sister. Would you like to follow your mother's words?" The mother's voice sounded soft, soft and beautiful.

"Xiyue is willing."

At that time, Bai Xijing did not understand the meaning of his mother's words, nor did he know what Xiyue was going to do. In a panic, she took the jade comb handed over by her mother and listened to her say to herself, "Xijing, take this comb well. Remember, if your father asks you for the key, give him the comb."

She didn't understand why the key had something to do with the comb. She wanted to ask, but before she asked, she was held by someone beside her mother and ran out. She didn't even have time to look at her mother and Xiyue anymore.

But the man holding him soon died under the sword of a man in black. There was no time to say a word, but subconsciously protected her under her body, and warm blood flowed down the man's neck and wet her clothes. She heard the cold voice of the man in black ringing on her head. He said, "Come out, little bastard."

She was scared, but no one could save her. She felt that the man in black had moved away the guard who protected her. She didn't want to die, but her head was full of blank. When she came to realize, she had stabbed the man's chest with her hands trembling and holding the guard's sword.

Scarlet blood flowed out little by little, slowly soaking her whole palm along the sword body. And the man in black looked at himself as if he couldn't believe it, staring at himself with big eyes and fiercely. She was afraid of those eyes and the eyes that wanted to tear herself apart. She suddenly closed her eyes, but the sword in her hand kept stabbing the man in black one after another. It was not until she dared to open her eyes until she heard the sound of the man in black falling to the ground.

But the fear made her dare not look at the man again, nor dare to hold the sword again. She could only throw down the sword and hide with her head in her arms. Hiding by the lotus pond.

She watched the hall catch fire, and she watched Xiyue run out with a bright yellow scroll. She watched all the people and things disappear in the fire and could never be found again.

She was very scared and scared. That fear forced her to close her eyes, not to think, not to look, and then she fell asleep drowsily. When I woke up again, I really realized that everything was different.

Thinking of these past events, Bai Xijing lowered his head slightly and his eyes were moist.

The brocade that Bai Ziyu spread out the palm of his hand, even if it is incomplete, it can indeed be seen that it is embroidered with green lotus. There is no doubt about it! But I still can't believe it.

Xijing had already told her what happened in those years. Even if they had not found Xiyue's body, they did not doubt that Xiyue had died in the fire. But now, her body appears on the altar, what does it mean?

Bai Xijing and Bai Ziyu were relatively silent, and their faces were very solemn.

At this time, a man standing behind Bai Ziyu and looking at the scene in the sarcophagus muttered, "If it is a birth sacrifice, it must also be the bloodline of Dazhou, but isn't this so-called princess Xiyue the righteous daughter received by Your Highness?"

His Highness naturally refers to the abdiced Bai restraint.

As soon as his words fell, Bai Ziyu and Bai Xijing looked even more uncertain, and everyone seemed to suddenly touch the signs of some secret and fell into silence again.

Bai Ziyu looked up at the crowd and said faintly, "You go out of the underground palace first and wait."

"Yes." Everyone responded respectfully. They probably knew what royal secrets were hidden in it. They couldn't hear it. Everyone retreated very cleanly. Only Du Kang took a look at Bai Xijing and left slowly.

After waiting for everyone, Bai Xijing said, "How do you think I should explain Xiyue's matter?" Her voice was very low and deep, giving people a very tired feeling.

Bai Ziyu took another look at the Xiyue in the sarcophagus, and then said, "No way..."

"Why not?" Bai Xijing suddenly interrupted Bai Ziyu's words and asked rhetorically. Her eyes looked straight at Bai Ziyu and did not allow him to dodge at all.

"But the mother is so gentle, how can she be willing to sacrifice Xiyue?" Bai Ziyu clearly has an answer in his heart. He tells himself rationally that this is true. You can admit it, but he is still irredeserved emotionally resistant.

Thinking of what Qingyi said to Xiyue that day and what she said to Bai Qing, she said, "Your Majesty, I'll help you with the treasure." It turned out that it was not only to help him deal with Dazhao and the spies from various countries, but also to help him prepare everything, including the sacrifice. As long as Bai Conver needs treasure, Xijing will hand in the key, then Bai Conver has everything and doesn't need to prepare anything.

She loves him so much that she can even sacrifice herself and her daughter.

But he loves his country so much that he can even ignore her and her daughter.

There is such a pitiful and ridiculous thing in the world!

"Why do you think I unlocked the last secret sentence on the treasure map, because... that's a sentence my mother once told me... ballad! She knew, she knew where the treasure was, she knew that her father would need treasure, and she knew that she needed a sacrifice, so she killed Xiyue! It's just her own conscience to take good care of us. I have to doubt how sincere it is!" Bai Xijing said that he was getting more and more excited in the end, and his eyes were blood red.

She has missed her mother for so long. The gentle and beautiful mother in her memory is now the murderer of Xiyue. The means are so fierce and cruel. Even if she didn't kill her own hands, it was also her! She didn't dare to think about whether the past was sincere or fake. Those things that I can't forget are like jokes when I think of them now.

Ye Lin is like this, his father is like this, and so is his mother. Who should she believe, how should she think, how to see, and how to believe?

The world seems to be getting dark, and the tide around it is slowly swallowing her. She can't see anything, and she can't hear anything. She can only mutter over and over again, "Why is everyone like this? Why, father and mother, what are we in your hearts?"

"Xi'er." Seeing Bai Xijing's crumbling appearance, Bai Ziyu hurriedly reached out to hold her, but after pulling, he found that her whole body was cold. Xier, don't think about it anymore. Let's go home. Let's go home.

"Home? Where do we have a home? Our father didn't want us, and our mother tricked us. We haven't been home for a long time, so how can we go home? Bai Xijing said, but tears flowed desperately.

"Xi'er, you still have a brother. Your brother has always been there." Bai Ziyu raised his hand to wipe Bai Xijing's tears, and his voice was firm but gentle. In fact, his heart is not the same as that of Bai Xijing. Looking at Xiyue's death, he is not without any chill, but now he is his brother and the king of the White Kingdom. He is the king of his brother and should not be weak.

"Brother, I'm afraid, I'm so scared..." After returning to Bai Guo to learn about all kinds of things, she suddenly found that these injuries were much more exhausting and heartbreaking than the conspiracy received in Ye Guo. The closest people and the people they care about the most, they betray you, use you, and abandon you. Such feelings almost suffocate her.

"Good boy, don't be afraid. Take a nap. Wake up and we'll be home." Bai Ziyu muttered softly and looked at Bai Xijing's pale face because he was too excited. He frowned slightly and raised his hand to knock Bai Xijing unconscious. He sighed deeply and looked at Xi Yue in the sarcophagus and said, " Yueer, have you ever resented your mother?"

but the people in it will never answer again. Bai Ziyu looked up at the top of the underground palace, as if only in this way could tears not flow down. After a long time, he walked out of the underground palace with Bai Xijing in his arms.
