The news that the servants of the eldest prince's palace had gone to the White House quickly spread throughout the capital! The person in the palace naturally received the news! So, early the next morning, the palace sent the father-in-law to deliver the order!
"Thank you, father-in-law! It's such a small thing, I hope you won't find it objectionable!"
Bai Jingxuan took out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into the father-in-law who was delivering the order. The father-in-law didn't refuse, he accepted it with a smile!
"My little girl is causing such nonsense because I have spoiled her. I hope my father-in-law can say a few kind words in front of the Emperor!"
Bai Jingxuan sent the father-in-law who was delivering the order out of the house. Seeing the way the father-in-law smiled and narrowed his eyes, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
"The emperor said that this matter was originally the fault of those thugs! They disturbed the purity of the Bai Mansion. If we turn back, the emperor will deal with them! It will embarrass Lord Bai!"
The father-in-law looked at Bai Jingxuan with a smile, a light flashing in his eyes. They were all old men in the palace, so how could he not guess the emperor's thoughts? Now, for the sake of money, he doesn't mind. It would be a favor to remind Bai Jingxuan a few more words!
Bai Jingxuan said yes again and again, and respectfully sent the father-in-law who was delivering the order away!
The emperor's decree was mostly comforting and not harsh on Bai Yanqing. This was expected by her. To put it bluntly, the emperor still had to show off for this matter of face!
"Father, is this emperor still loyal?"
Bai Yanqing looked at Bai Jingxuan and suddenly said this.
Hearing this, Bai Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then sighed deeply! Although he didn't want to admit it, the emperor's various actions still gave him a chill!
…
That night, Bai Jingxuan suddenly fell ill. With Yunqi's help, Bai Yanqing successfully entered the palace and begged the emperor! The emperor pretended to be worried, but the joy between his eyebrows was hard to conceal!
"I also ask for your Majesty's permission to ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to come over and save my daughter's father!"
Bai Yanqing knelt on the cold floor tiles, her forehead bleeding.
A light flashed in the emperor's eyes. He looked at Bai Yanqing, who was lying on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, and he secretly made a decision in his heart!
"I'm sure!"
The emperor was also a little curious in his heart, wondering whether this old and cunning Bai Xiang was really ill!
Bai Yanqing thanked the emperor repeatedly, and then under the emperor's scrutinizing gaze, she pulled Yunqi and hurried to the Imperial Hospital!
When they hurried to the Bai Mansion with the head of the Imperial Hospital, they saw a scene like this: Bai Jingxuan was coughing up blood, and the house was full of Bai family members!
"Sister, you are finally back!"
Lai Bizhi hurriedly stepped forward and took Bai Yanqing's hand, her face full of anxiety! Mo Ran and Cai Xing on the side also stepped forward with anxious expressions. They supported Bai Yanqing on the left and right, as if they were afraid that she would faint!
When the imperial doctor saw this, he didn't dare to slack off and walked towards the inner room! Opening the medicine box, taking out the pulse pillow...a series of movements were like flowing water, methodical and amazingly fast!
"Bai Xiang..."
The imperial doctor frowned and turned to look at Bai Yanqing hesitantly. He finally saw that in the entire Bai Mansion, Bai Yanqing, the eldest daughter, was the only one who could make the decision!
"The imperial doctor said it's okay!"
Bai Yanqing gestured to the imperial physician.
"The pulse condition of Bai Xiang is chaotic, sometimes absent, and vaguely visible... This is not a good symptom!"
The imperial doctor shook his head and looked at Bai Jingxuan who was still vomiting blood on the bed, with a bit of regret in his eyes.
Hearing this, Li Qinru's legs softened and he could barely stand! She felt like the sky in the Bai family was about to fall! If it weren't for Bai Junzhi's support, she might have fainted right now!
"Is there a way to cure it?"
Bai Yanqing calmed down, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
The imperial doctor shook his head, sighed, and then hesitantly spoke: "It's difficult! Unless there is a magic medicine! Otherwise... Bai Xiang won't be able to survive for long!"
After hearing what the imperial doctor said, Bai Furong couldn't bear it anymore. She closed her eyes and fainted! For a time, the entire White House was in chaos!
"Thank you, doctor! It's so late at night, I'd like to thank you for your trouble!"
Bai Yanqing steeled herself and sent the imperial physician out of the house in person. Before leaving, she did not forget to give the imperial physician a bag of silver!
The imperial doctor looked ashamed, ashamed that he could not save Bai Jingxuan! He didn't dare to accept the money that was like a reminder, so he hurriedly got into the carriage and left without looking back!
"This imperial doctor is so anxious. If he didn't know it, he would have thought that someone in his family was about to die!"
Yuan Ziyue suddenly appeared and sneered at the carriage that was leaving.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing glared at Yuan Ziyue angrily, then took out the handkerchief and tucked the corners of her eyes!
"It's late at night, please go back!"
In the darkness, Bai Yanqing glanced around, then tremblingly held the hands of Cai Xing and Mo Ran and headed towards Bai Jingxuan's courtyard!
In the eyes of others, she, Bai Yanqing, was an extremely sad daughter, but she still had to cheer up and deal with the affairs of the house. But in the eyes of Mo Ran and Cai Xing, the reason why Bai Yanqing was trembling was because she was laughing, even so much that she couldn't control herself! If it weren't for the veil, she would probably be grinning from the corners of her mouth to the back of her ears!
Bai Yanqing sent away all the servants in Bai Jingxuan's courtyard! Even Li Qinru and Bai Furong were sent back by her finding an excuse!
"Father, everyone is gone!"
Bai Yanqing walked to the inner room, stood at the head of Bai Jingxuan's bed, and spoke softly.
The next moment, Bai Jingxuan straightened up as expected! Then, a figure also walked out of the dark room behind Bai Jingxuan's bed!
"Should I call you 'Aunt An' or 'Mother'?"
Bai Yanqing glanced at the person in front of her, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes.
The person in front of her was obviously stunned. She seemed not to have expected that Bai Yanqing would be so straightforward and reveal her identity!
"Actually, I should have known..."
Bai Yanqing lowered her eyes and said mockingly. In fact, she had long suspected Aunt An's identity, probably...ever since the inexplicable feeling of intimacy she felt when she first saw Aunt An, she began to be suspicious!
At first, Bai Yanqing thought Aunt An was Yunqi's queen mother who died young. But later, she discovered that Aunt An and the Ji family had a deep connection! In addition, she had privately investigated the death of her biological mother, and vaguely remembered the fire when she was a child!
Bai Yanqing witnessed the scene when Ji Jinchu was swallowed up by the fire, but after the fire was extinguished, the Bai family only found a charred corpse among the charred ruins! With a corpse that was burned beyond recognition, who can be 100% sure that she is Ji Jinchu?
"sorry!"
At this moment, the woman in front of him suddenly spoke. At this time, her eyes were full of tenderness, and when she looked at Bai Yanqing, she also had a bit of kindness!
"I have a last resort!"
The woman spoke again, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
"Father, you have known this for a long time, haven't you?"
Bai Yanqing suppressed the sourness in her heart, and when she raised her eyes again, there was a bit of water in her eyes.
"I also... I just found out not long ago... If not, I wouldn't have easily taken that pill that can disrupt people's meridians!"
Bai Jingxuan's eyes were clear, and when he looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes were a little gentler.
Yes, that's right, Bai Jingxuan did know Aunt An's identity earlier than Bai Yanqing. He never made it clear because he knew very well that Ji Jinchu must have his own difficulties! He loves her, so he doesn't want to embarrass her! He trusted her, so he swallowed the pill without hesitation!
"You all have things you want to do. As a husband and a father, I naturally want to help you!"
Bai Jingxuan was smiling at this moment, and the way he looked at Ji Jinchu looked like a young man in love!
Bai Yanqing's expression softened, and her words finally turned into a shallow sigh! She wisely walked out, and before leaving, she thoughtfully closed the door for them!
"Yuan Li, Ziyue, it's all your hard work tonight!"
Bai Yanqing looked back at the candles that had not been extinguished in the room, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
"Yes! I obey my orders!"
The brothers and sisters of the Yuan family bowed respectfully.
Now in this troubled time, only the two of them are the most reliable! With them guarding here, the emperor's spies would naturally be a little frightened!
"Since you know everything, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
After returning to her courtyard, Bai Yanqing suddenly lost her temper when she saw the people standing in the room. In front of outsiders, she was always the well-educated, dignified and elegant daughter of the Prime Minister, but only in front of Yunqi could she be the youngest daughter again!
"You know, I also have some difficulties! I have my mother-in-law on one side, and my wife on the other...I am also in a dilemma!"
Yunqi pursed his lips, looking very embarrassed.
Bai Yanqing laughed, stretched out her hand to push him, and then stopped teasing him!
"Let's get back to business. It's still unclear whether the Emperor's suspicions have been eliminated. You should make plans early! For this reason... you have no choice but to be unfilial!"
Bai Yanqing sighed softly. With Yunqi's character, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing as killing his father and usurping the throne! Now, they can only make a decision early and leave some escape paths for themselves! After all...the people in the palace can't wait to deal with them!
In the palace, in addition to the emperor who was suspicious of his ministers and his son every day, there was also the queen and her son who were eyeing the throne!
Perhaps it was because they had been beaten by the emperor before, but these days, the queen, mother and son were quite content. The queen neither went to trouble the imperial concubine nor caused trouble to the Yunqi brothers in the palace! This is a strange thing!
It's just that... when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It's not like the Queen's style to be so content and self-reliant!
