In the past, Bai Yanqing always thought that the fire that caused her mother's death was set by the Bai family's old lady Ren.
Therefore, for so many years, Bai Yanqing has always held a grudge against the Ren family in her heart! Although this was against filial piety, Bai Yanqing never dared to forget the death of Ji Jinchu!
That fire not only killed Ji Jinchu, but also destroyed Bai Yanqing's remaining affection for Ren!
Over the years, Bai Yanqing would often dream of Ji Jinchu walking through the sea of fire and lifting herself out of the fire when she dreamed about it at midnight! But now, Concubine Xian told her that there was another hidden reason behind Ji Jinchu's death! The fire in the Bai Mansion might have been set by others. Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing couldn't help but couldn't wait to know the truth!
"My Lady, please tell me... do you know who set the fire in the White House?"
Bai Yanqing asked tremblingly.
"Yes, I know, but...I can't tell you personally! If Miss Bai wants to know the truth, she might as well...go to Ji's house! Maybe...there's the answer you want there!"
Concubine Xian obviously knew something about Ji Jinchu's death, but it seemed... she couldn't say it clearly!
Ji family?
Bai Yanqing's frown deepened when she heard that her mother's death was related to the Ji family!
Bai Yanqing didn't doubt that her mother's death was caused by the Ji family. She just felt that she seemed to have been living in a fog for so many years! She had some vague memories of some things, but it seemed that she couldn't remember them clearly!
Over the years, the elders of the Ji family have devoted all their love to Bai Yanqing. Bai Yanqing has never doubted the Ji family's kindness to Bai Yanqing! Concubine Kexian's words seemed to break some of the things that Bai Yanqing had believed in for many years! She couldn't explain exactly what was going on, but she still felt that something was not quite right!
Bai Yanqing inadvertently brushed her sleeves...
"My dear concubine, I would like to ask you, where did you get this luminous pearl?"
Bai Yanqing did not continue to ask Concubine Xian about Ji Jinchu's death. After being stunned for a moment, she asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with Ji Jinchu's death!
Hearing this, Concubine Xian hesitated for a moment, and then, under Bai Yanqing's earnest gaze, Concubine Xian suddenly smiled!
"Ms. Bai, you haven't agreed to this palace's affairs yet!"
At this moment, Concubine Xian changed her previous anxious expression, and instead looked a little leisurely and contented.
"My Lady, you should understand that right now, my daughter is not discussing with you, but... she is asking you for answers!"
Bai Yanqing raised her eyes and stared straight at Concubine Xian, with no fear in her eyes! She has never been threatened, now or in the future! Even if Concubine Xian didn't say anything about this matter today, she would still have a way to find out!
Looking at the girl in front of her, Concubine Xian suddenly felt inexplicably in a trance for a moment!
Is she really a girl who is only fifteen years old?
"My dear concubine, I am giving you a chance! If you don't tell me now, let me find out later! By then...when it comes to the fifth prince, not only will I not be able to help, I will even...haha..."
Seeing that Concubine Xian refused to speak, Bai Yanqing lost her patience and spoke directly. There is also a hint of threat in the words!
"It's... I got it from Mrs. Ji!"
After a long time, Concubine Xian finally spoke.
This answer was obviously within Bai Yanqing's expectation!
Previously, a few days before Bai Yanqing's birthday, Ji Jinxiu suddenly came to visit and gave Bai Yanqing another luminous pearl! Bai Yanqing still vividly remembers the situation at that time!
When Ji Jinxiu gave away the Night Pearl, he once said: It! It was originally yours!
At that time, Bai Yanqing still didn't understand what this sentence meant! Now that I think about it, maybe... these two luminous pearls were originally owned by Ji Jinchu! It's just that... one of them accidentally fell into the hands of Concubine Xian! There is another one in the hands of Ji Jinxiu!
"What you got? Huh! I'm afraid it's just something that you, the noble concubine, came to you conveniently, right?"
Bai Yanqing subconsciously felt that such a precious luminous pearl must have been given to her by the noble concubine Xian from her own mother!
"No, this luminous pearl is in exchange... for me!"
Seeing that Bai Yanqing did not trust her, Concubine Xian hurriedly spoke to prove her innocence!
In exchange?
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing frowned almost imperceptibly! It seems that there are many inside stories about what happened back then that are not enough for outsiders to understand!
"Back then, Mrs. Ji once told me that after I was confirmed as concubine, she would do everything in her power to protect the Ji and Bai families in front of the emperor! Because... she knew that the emperor had always distrusted the Ji family and was always wary of it. Bai family!"
Concubine Xian looked into Bai Yanqing's eyes and continued.
"In exchange, Mrs. Ji gave me this luminous pearl as a gift. She said that when Miss Bai reaches the age of hairpins, she will ask me to find a way to deliver this luminous pearl to you! She also said...by then, I can make a request to Miss Bai! This is why I will mention the Night Pearl to Miss Bai today!"
Concubine Xian described the whole story to Bai Yanqing in detail. As for whether she could listen to it, Concubine Xian was not sure!
Bai Yanqing looked at the noble lady in front of her, but she had some doubts in her heart. To be honest, Bai Yanqing didn't completely trust Concubine Xian from the bottom of her heart! She always felt that what Concubine Xian said... seemed true and false! It doesn’t quite sound like the truth!
"Miss Bai, for Xingxu's sake, can you help us this time? I admit, it was indeed my fault before, and I targeted you several times! But now... I really hope you can help us! I swear, as long as you help us, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will do my best to help you!"
At this time, Xiyue, who had not said a word for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth to beg Bai Yanqing.
Xiyue knew in her heart that because of Yunqi's incident, she was indeed very hostile to Bai Yanqing. But now, for Yun Kai, she had to lower her status and plead with Bai Yanqing!
"Emperor Xiyue, don't try to make a big deal for me! Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If you ask me to help you solve your problems now, it's not impossible, then you can agree Do I need something?"
Bai Yanqing suddenly smiled and spoke, looking at Xiyue with deep meaning.
When Xiyue saw this, her heart tightened, and she immediately wanted to refuse, but when she saw Yun Kai beside her, Xiyue hesitated again!
"I...you tell me! I'll do my best!"
Xiyue thought for a long time and finally spoke.
"The position of the next Queen of Star-Moon Kingdom! I want you to give it to Cai Xing! Can you give it up? Are you willing to give it up?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Xiyue, whose face gradually darkened, and felt like laughing. She didn't really want to take the position for Cai Xing! She just wanted to try Xiyue! Bai Yanqing just wanted to see what Xiyue could do for Yun Kai!
"Miss Bai, do you really... insist on making things difficult for us?"
Yun Kai spoke up at the right time and stepped forward. He would definitely not let Xi Yue agree to Bai Yanqing's rude request!
"Embarrassing you? Hahaha... Aren't you the ones who have been embarrassing me?!"
Bai Yanqing almost laughed out loud. She was obviously Concubine Xian who had been embarrassing Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi. Why is it now said that it was Concubine Xian who was embarrassing Concubine Xian, her son and Xiyue?
What's the point?
"Okay! I agree!"
Just as Yun Kai and Bai Yanqing were confronting each other, Xi Yue on the side suddenly spoke.
Xiyue's words shocked everyone present! No one thought that she would give up her position as the Queen of Star-Moon Kingdom for Yun Kai!
Bai Yanqing originally just wanted to give Xiyue a try, but didn't want her to really agree! But what Bai Yanqing didn't expect was that Xiyue actually agreed! This made Bai Yanqing not know how to respond to her for a moment!
"Miss Bai! I have promised you, what else do you want?"
Seeing that Bai Yanqing had not said a word for a long time, Xiyue called out anxiously.
"Hey, who cares about that?
The position of Queen? I want Cai Xing to stay with me for the rest of my life! If she really returns to Xingyue Kingdom and inherits the throne, who will accompany me for the rest of her life? "
Bai Yanqing rolled her eyes at Xiyue and replied angrily.
"Me! I will accompany my wife for the rest of my life!"
Yun Qi on the side interrupted at the right moment, making Bai Yanqing smile and arch her eyebrows!
"and you……"
Xiyue suddenly felt like she was being teased by Bai Yanqing, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say in response, so she just stared at Bai Yanqing in disbelief!
"I promise you! I will try my best! Whether it can happen or not depends on God's will!"
Just when Xiyue and Yun Kai were at a loss, Bai Yanqing suddenly agreed to them!
Bai Yanqing's series of actions shocked everyone present! She questioned Concubine Xian for a while, threatened Xiyue for a while, but in the end, she didn't ask for anything and just agreed so easily!
Except for Bai Yanqing, no one can perform this operation!
"Miss Bai...you..."
Xiyue's eyes were filled with tears in an instant. She looked like she wanted to commit herself to Bai Yanqing!
Bai Yanqing couldn't stand it at the moment: "Okay, okay, okay, don't look like this! It's an eyesore to me, so let's leave it like that! Whether it can be done or not, I can't say! I can only say that I will Do your best!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, Bai Yanqing pulled Yun Qi and ran out of Jiyue Palace as fast as possible!
"Hey, I'm finally out! It seems that not everyone can get in this palace! If you don't pay attention, you will be trapped in a certain palace and can't get out!"
Bai Yanqing stopped after running a long way. She turned around and looked at Jiyue Palace in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You didn't listen to a word Aunt An said!"
Yunqi looked at the panting Bai Yanqing and said with a smile. It’s not like Yunqi didn’t hear what Aunt An told Bai Yanqing before going out!
Previously, Aunt An asked Ji Nanjing to help Caixing win the throne, but Bai Yanqing refused! Now, Aunt An asked Bai Yanqing not to meddle in other people's business, but Bai Yanqing didn't listen! Every single thing that Aunt An had arranged was rejected by Bai Yanqing!
"Why should I listen to her? Why should I listen to her? What qualifications does she have to dictate my life? If she is really that idle, she might as well tell me where she comes from!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at Yun Qi and her words were quite sharp!
Yunqi could tell that Bai Yanqing had always been worried about Aunt An's true identity!
After Bai Yanqing finished speaking, she turned to herself and walked toward the palace entrance!
My feet hurt so much! Bai Yanqing was so nervous just now that she even forgot that her feet were still hurting!
A gust of cold wind hit her, and Bai Yanqing suddenly felt a bit chilly on her body. When she lowered her head, she realized that she had only been running with Yun Qi and had forgotten that her cloak was still in the hands of the maid of Jiyue Palace!
Bai Yanqing secretly regretted it and slowed down her pace slightly. It's not that she's not afraid of the cold, her feet are really hurting!
"I hope you won't regret what you said today in the future!"
Yunqi stared at Bai Yanqing's retreating back and muttered to himself.
The biting cold wind carried Yunqi's words to the ears of the girl who was taking small steps in front of her! The girl paused for a moment, and then, as if nothing had happened, she continued to walk towards the palace gate with small steps, slowly and unhurriedly!
Yun Qi may not know that although Bai Yanqing is not a martial arts practitioner, her ear power is extraordinary!
