"I see that Your Highness is not one of those people who is greedy for power. Why...do you insist on fighting for that throne?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Yun Qi and asked in confusion. She could tell that Yun Qi didn't really want to seize the throne. If that's the case, then why...why did he make so many plans?
"For...my queen mother!"
Yun Qi hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak and tell Bai Yanqing the truth.
For the sake of order?
Bai Yanqing looked confused. What does this matter have to do with succession? Could it be...
Bai Yanqing seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Yun Qi in disbelief!
"Could it be... related to the causes of death?"
The cause of Yunqi's mother's death was hidden, and Bai Yanqing knew about it. But what she still can't figure out is what the relationship between the successive deaths has to do with whether Yun Qi can compete for the throne!
"Um!"
Yun Qi nodded, secretly sighing at Bai Yanqing's cleverness.
"But... what does the successive deaths have to do with whether His Highness can compete for that high position?"
Bai Yanqing still didn't understand the relationship between the two.
Hearing this, Yun Qi didn't say anything. The matter hadn't been found out yet, and Yun Qi didn't dare to tell Bai Yanqing easily! It's not that I'm afraid that she'll reveal the truth, it's just that... I can't explain it to her!
"It's not convenient for Your Highness to say it openly, so just don't say it!"
Although Bai Yanqing expressed her understanding, she was still a little disappointed in her heart.
The two of them finally managed to get rid of those eyeliners who were staring at Yun Qi!
Yun Qi personally sent Bai Yanqing back to the Bai Mansion. When Mo Ran and Cai Xing saw that Bai Yanqing had returned safely, they finally let go of their worries!
Because it was noon, Bai Yanqing spoke enthusiastically, leaving Yun Qi a few words in vain. Unexpectedly, Yun Qi was not polite and actually agreed directly in front of everyone!
Ever since, there was another set of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table in Bai Mansion!
After dinner, Yun Qi accompanied Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing for a walk in the garden.
"Sister Bi Zhi didn't come today. She must be busy in the shop!"
Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing chatted about common things.
Since Bai Furong and Lai Bizhi moved next door to Bai Mansion, whenever Bai Yanqing is in the mansion, they will come over and have meals with everyone most of the time! I didn't see Lai Bizhi today, I only saw Bai Furong. Bai Yanqing was confused and started chatting with Cai Xing!
"I heard from Mrs. Bai...My cousin went to the countryside to play!"
Caixing held Bai Yanqing's arm and replied with a smile.
Going on a trip to the countryside? Lai Bizhi?
Bai Yanqing was surprised!
Since Lai Bizhi and Bai Furong started their own business, Lai Bizhi has been working hard and concentrating on taking care of the shop, hoping that she and Bai Furong can live a better life! It’s rare to see her and have some free time to go out and play! .
"Today, Ziyue takes a bath!"
Yun Qi on the side suddenly spoke leisurely and answered Bai Yanqing's questions.
I see!
Bai Yanqing suddenly realized!
Damn it, after a long time of commotion, Lai Bizhi and Yuan Ziyue met up and ran out to play!
"Caixing, have you gone out to look for Ling Yu in the past two days? Why did he disappear when you returned to the capital?"
Speaking of Lai Bizhi and Yuan Ziyue, Bai Yanqing suddenly remembered that since they returned to the capital, Lingyu followed Mrs. Qingluan and disappeared, never to be seen again!
Caixing frowned and shook her head. Obviously, she had no news about Ling Yu either!
"Your Highness, is there any way you can help me investigate and see where Mrs. Qingluan's house in the capital is?"
Bai Yanqing turned her head and asked Yun Qi.
"Okay, I'll have someone check it out tomorrow!"
Yun Qi nodded without hesitation. He did not dare to neglect Bai Yanqing's instructions at all!
It was cold outside, and the three of them didn't go shopping for long.
I feel cold under my feet and don’t dare to walk any more! So, Yunqi accompanied Bai Yanqing and Caixing back to Nianchu Xiaozhu!
Along the way, Yunqi remained silent, as if he had something on his mind! The same goes for Cai Xing. Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were wandering. It was obvious that she had something on her mind!
Bai Yanqing lowered her eyes, staring at the bluestone road under her feet in trance.
The bluestone road washed by snow and water is exceptionally clean. There are occasionally a few icy spots on the smooth road surface. If you don't pay attention, you may fall flat on your back!
I don’t know if it was because Cai Xing was distracted, but she unknowingly ended up on a side road! Bai Yanqing watched Cai Xing's figure moving away without saying a word to remind him!
"Why don't you call Cai Xing, madam?"
Yun Qi looked at Bai Yanqing and asked in confusion.
It turned out that although Yun Qi was slightly lost in thought, his thoughts were still on Bai Yanqing! Noticing that she stopped, Yun Qi stopped too! Seeing Cai Xing coming to a fork in the road, Yun Qi was about to call her, but turned his head and saw Bai Yanqing staring blankly at Cai Xing's back without making a sound! So Yun Qi couldn't help but speak and reminded Bai Yanqing.
Bai Yanqing stared at the two rows of shallow footprints left on the wet bluestone pavement, and said nothing for a long time!
"Let's go!"
Bai Yanqing suddenly spoke and said to Yunqi.
Although Yunqi was confused, he also knew that it was not appropriate to ask too many questions at this time. So, he nodded, followed Bai Yanqing, and walked with her towards Nianchu Xiaozhu without any hurry!
"That road can also lead to Nianchu Xiaozhu!"
Bai Yanqing suddenly spoke, as if talking to herself or explaining something to Yun Qi.
"Ah That's good!"
Yunqi nodded and responded.
Yunqi was not worried that Cai Xing would get lost. After all, Cai Xing had stayed in the Bai Mansion for several years! He just felt that there was something wrong with Bai Yanqing's mood! In the past, Bai Yanqing would have called Caixing to stop, but today, Bai Yanqing did not call her to stop! This is very strange!
However, what surprised Yun Qi was that when he and Bai Yanqing walked to the door of Nianchu Xiaozhu, Cai Xing also arrived!
"Why didn't you call me, sister? I walked a long way, and then I realized that I had taken a fork in the road!"
Seeing Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi, Cai Xing ran over quickly! She pursed her lips and complained a little aggrievedly!
"But, in the end, you returned to Nianchu Xiaozhu, didn't you?"
Bai Yanqing glanced at Cai Xing indifferently, with no expression on her face. Then, under Cai Xing's doubtful gaze, Bai Yanqing calmly raised her feet and stepped into the courtyard!
The road Cai Xing took was indeed winding and winding. According to the normal journey, he would have arrived later than Bai Yanqing and the others!
Inside the house, Mo Ran had already lit the stove. When Bai Yanqing, Yun Qi, and Cai Xing came back, the house was already warm!
"Mo Ran, make a pot of good tea!"
After Bai Yanqing entered the room, he gave instructions to Mo Ran. Yunqi came over, it would be wrong for her to entertain him with plain water again!
"Yes, miss!"
Mo Ran responded while taking the cloak from Bai Yanqing's hand. After hanging up Bai Yanqing's cloak, Mo Ran respectfully left the door and went to make tea!
"Sister, are you blaming me for taking the wrong path?"
Caixing moved a stool and sat next to Bai Yanqing, holding her arm and saying coquettishly. She could tell that Bai Yanqing's mood seemed not quite right.
"I didn't blame you for going the wrong way!"
Bai Yanqing shook her head and denied Cai Xing's guess.
"Caixing, look at today, even though we didn't walk on the same road, the place we went back to was Nianchu Xiaozhu, right?"
Bai Yanqing held Cai Xing's hand with her backhand, then raised her eyes, looked at Cai Xing, and said bluntly.
Caixing opened his eyes wide and looked at Bai Yanqing with some confusion. She didn't understand what Bai Yanqing meant when he suddenly said this!
"The road you took had many twists and turns, and was farther away from Nianchu Xiaozhu. The road His Highness and I took was straight and straight, and was closer to Nianchu Xiaozhu. But why, we arrived at Nianchu Xiaozhu at the same time. Do you know why?"
Bai Yanqing stared into Cai Xing's eyes and asked her.
Cai Xing shook her head. She really didn't know why people who walked separately on two different roads, one close and one far away, would eventually reach their destinations at the same time!
"Because I'm waiting for you! I slowed down so that I can arrive at the same time as you!"
Looking at Cai Xing's eyes, which changed from confusion to clarity, Bai Yanqing knew that Cai Xing understood what she meant!
"I see!"
Cai Xing's eyes suddenly gained a bit of strange brilliance!
Bai Yanqing smiled, just understand! She just wanted Cai Xing to understand that no matter what path the two sisters would take in the future, they would eventually return to their original destination!
Different paths leading to the same destination is what Bai Yanqing really wants to tell Cai Xing!
"Miss, Master, the tea is ready!"
At that time, Mo Ran appeared at the right time, holding a pot of brewed tea and respectfully placing it in front of Bai Yanqing!
"Your Highness, please try it! This is from my father! I don't know if Your Highness is used to drinking it or not!"
Bai Yanqing reached out and poured a cup of tea first, then handed it to Yun Qi.
This tea was sent by Bai Jingxuan yesterday. Presumably, he also knew that after Bai Yanqing and Yun Qi's marriage was settled, Yun Qi would definitely visit Nianchu Xiaozhu from time to time! He was afraid that Bai Yanqing's place didn't have very good tea, and he was afraid that he would neglect Yun Qi again!
Golden tea soup, fragrant! Yunqi took the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma of tea spread in his mouth! It tastes slightly bitter when entering the mouth, but then becomes sweet afterward! Drinking it is very refreshing!
"Well, it is indeed good tea!"
Yun Qi took another sip with a smile, and Bai Yanqing was also very happy!
"It would be great if I can enter His Highness's mouth!"
Bai Yanqing chuckled and spoke, then poured another cup of tea and handed it to Cai Xing.
Cai Xing held a hot tea cup and breathed lightly. It seemed that he had taken a detour just now and it was indeed cold!
"After all, Mo Ran comes from His Highness's house. This way of doing things has won my heart!"
Bai Yanqing glanced at Mo Ran, with a smile on her face.
Mo Ran was just about to pour tea for Bai Yanqing, but when he heard her say this, his face turned slightly red and he felt a little embarrassed!
Yun Qi glanced at Mo Ran lightly, and then said: "I don't know whether Mo Ran is good or not! In the past, Mo Ran didn't serve me at all! There were all big men around me!"
"Oh, really? Your Highness doesn't have a maid or maid to serve you personally?"
When Bai Yanqing heard what Yun Qi said, she was a little surprised! She originally thought that as a prince, Yun Qi would have many maids around him!
What's more, Yun Qi is now twenty years old. Not to mention being a personal maid, it is not unusual to have a few girls who live in the same house in the house! But listening to what he said, it seemed like...
