406. Courting death!(1/2)
This day is the day of the 15th day of July, the imperial concubine selection feast of the Qingluan Kingdom.
What happened at the feast was spreading at an extremely fast speed. With the end of the feast, the people in Qisha City, except Baili Xun, Baili Qing's grandson, and Situ Yu, were only four disciples left. The nearly fifty disciples of Wuzong who came to Fengming City were all dead, and they died miserably.
The inn that Wushuangmen was also empty, and no one knew where Bai Yuan took her away after Bai Yi won and left the palace. As for Qingyuan, she was taken back to Prince Ying's mansion by her brother Qingyuan in full view.
If Bai Yi was the worst in that competition of the ten princes, then Baili Qing and Qingyuan were the two most embarrassing, and the degree of embarrassment was comparable. As for who will eventually win the imperial daughter of Qingluan Kingdom, it is still unknown.
In the Qingluan Palace, Qingyu had already received news that the disciples of Wuzong of Qisha City who were left in the inn had been massacred.
"Do you know who made the move?" Qing Yu asked indifferently.
"If you go back to the emperor, I haven't found it." A woman knelt in front of Qing Yu on one knee.
"Yuan'er is a success." Qing Yu sighed, "What's the situation in Prince Ying's Mansion?"
"His Highness King Wang was seriously injured and was taken away by one person." The woman said respectfully.
"Where is the people from Wushuangmen?" Qing Yu asked.
"Bai Yuan took Miss Yi and left Fengming City directly, and the other disciples of Wushuang Sect also left first." The woman replied.
"Bai Yuan is much smarter than before. During the competition, the young master of Divine Soldier City went to chat with Bai Yuan. Perhaps this was the key to Bai Yuan's change of his mind. After all, he was really planning to let his granddaughter take the position of the imperial daughter." Qing Yu said lightly, "No matter who he is, he is a sect in the world, and he can't cause any storms. Go to Prince Ying's Mansion to see how Yuan'er is now, pay attention to see who there are people around her."
"Yes, the emperor." The woman quickly took the order and retreated.
In the evening, Shenbingcheng Inn.
Mu Yan and the others sat together for dinner, and Bai Yuan was still guarding Bai Yi's bed, and he couldn't come even if he told him to come.
"Xiaojiu, how is Old Man Bai's granddaughter?" Shangguan Min asked Mu Yan.
Xiao Xing'er sat in Mu Yan's arms, pointed at a bowl of soup in front of her, blinked her big eyes, and signaled Mu Yan to feed him. He has not been weaned yet, but he can still eat some normal food.
Mu Yan shook her head and said, "Xiao Xing'er, call me mother, or you'll be hungry."
After Mu Yan finished speaking, Shangguan Ke, who was sitting on her left and Shangguan Min, who was sitting on her right, reached out and patted the back of her head. Then Shangguan Ke carried Xiao Xing'er over and brought the bowl of soup in front of Mu Yan, and began to smile and feed Xiao Xing'er with a spoon.
Mu Yan sighed and said, "The child is spoiled so much. No wonder he can't speak until now."
"Xiaojiu, the child who speaks late is the smartest." Shangguan Min said seriously.
Mu Yan rolled her eyes: "Okay! It's all my fault. The second master just asked Bai Yi that she was fine, she was a little seriously injured and could not die. She would be cured after a while."
"That's good." Shangguan Min nodded, "Last time I advised Old Man Bai to cherish his blessings, but Old Man Bai didn't listen. Now that his granddaughter has become like that, he realizes that he regrets and really wants to beat him up!"
"Well, Master II is right." Mu Yan nodded slightly.
"But what Lang Lang said, that little white girl is really good, what does Xiaojiu think?" Shangguan Min was still talking about Bai Yi.
Mu Yan nodded: "Yes, it's very good. What do the second master have to think?"
"Haha, I am not thinking about it. Ling'er is still a bachelor. Xiaojiu, the good girls around you have a master. This little white girl looks really good..." Shangguan Min said happily.
Tuoba Yan choked his throat with a mouthful of soup, coughed twice, patted his chest, looked at Shangguan Min and said, "Second Master, is this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with men and women who are unmarried?" Shangguan Min asked back, "You have the heart to watch your uncle Ling play a bachelor for the rest of your life!"
Tuoba Yan smiled: "First of all, the second master must believe that Uncle Ling will find a wife. Although Uncle Ling is not as smart as my father and my uncle, and is not as smart as my father and my uncle, and is not as strong as my father and my uncle, but if you don't compare with my father, my uncle and my uncle, Uncle Ling is actually pretty good!"
Shangguan Min's mouth twitched slightly: "Langlang, you are really good at speaking."
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "Talk back to that Miss Bai. First, Miss Bai likes my uncle. The second master knows this, but my uncle is meaningless to Miss Bai. As long as the second master doesn't mind, there is naturally nothing to say. Secondly, Miss Bai and Uncle Ling don't know at all. Even if they know each other in the future, will they like each other? It will have to wait until they know that the second master wants to match up now. Third, and most important point, have the second master ever thought that if Miss Bai and Uncle Ling are really together, you have to call Old Man Bai to call Uncle! This generation is a bit short of it!"
Shangguan Min's expression froze and she immediately shook her head: "That's not possible! I won't mention this matter anymore, no one will mention it from today!"
Mu Yan smiled but said nothing. Although Shangguan Min was not considered a child since she was old, Shangguan Min was already middle-aged when she was Shangguan Ling, so there was a situation where Bai Yuan's granddaughter and Shangguan Min's son were the same generation. As for Shangguan Min suddenly wanted to match Shangguan Ling and Bai Yi, Mu Yan felt that he was just on a whim. Shangguan Min treated Shangguan Ling like a bead of eyes. Although he said that he wanted Shangguan Min to get married early and he would hold his grandson as soon as possible, he still hoped that Shangguan Ling would go well in his heart. But today he suddenly found that Bai Yi was a good girl, and then missed his son, so he got together like this.
"Dad and Uncle Ling must be on the way back." Tuoba Yan said, "I miss my grandfather and grandmother so much!"
After Tuoba Yan finished speaking, Mu Yan hadn't said anything, but saw Bai Yuan pushing open the door and walking in. He said anxiously: "Lord Ajiu City, go and see Yi'er, she's a little bad!"
Mu Yan immediately put down the spoon in her hand and stood up and followed Bai Yuan. Tuoba Yan also followed.
When Mu Yan saw Bai Yi, Bai Yi had not yet woken up, her face turned a little red, and she murmured without knowing what she was talking about.
Mu Yan lowered her head and heard a "Lin Feng..." She frowned slightly, and then heard a "Grandfather..."
"It's okay, it's probably a nightmare. I have a little fever, but it's not a big deal." After Mu Yan took Bai Yi's pulse, she turned to ask Tuoba Yan, "Do you have any medicine on her body?"
"Yes." Tuoba Yan took out a blue medicine bottle, poured out a pill and handed it to Mu Yan.
Bai Yuan smelled a seductive strange fragrance. Seeing the green pill, he couldn't help but ask, "What's this?"
"The medicine made by Wannian Ice Lotus." Mu Yan finished speaking, pinched Bai Yi's chin and put the pill into Bai Yi's mouth.
Bai Yuan looked at Bai Yi's face and almost instantly improved. He said to Mu Yan with gratitude: "I am so grateful to Lord Ajiu."
"Fortunately Senior Bai did not ask me why I didn't give her this medicine at the beginning, because I had given her one, but she was too seriously injured and one didn't work." Mu Yan looked at Bai Yuan and said.
Bai Yuan looked a little embarrassed: "The Lord of Ajiu is joking. I am grateful to you, so how dare you talk nonsense? This ten thousand-year-old ice lotus is so precious. The Lord of Ajiu is willing to give it to Yier. I will repay you with great kindness in the future!"
"Then there is no need. I saved her not for Senior Bai, but because she is my friend." Mu Yan looked at Bai Yuan and said, "After this incident, Senior Bai can realize what is more important, and Bai Yi's blood will not flow in vain."
Bai Yuan looked ashamed and sighed deeply: "I was fascinated before. You have advised me, but I just didn't listen, almost harming Yi'er and everyone in Wushuang's sect. I have heard about what happened in the Qisha City Inn. If Young Master Yan hadn't woken me up today, Wushuang's sect would have the same outcome. Although I am not a good person, I don't want my disciple to die in vain. So what if Yi'er becomes the princess today? With Qingyu's personality, I will not make Yi'er have a good life. It's my fault, it's me that I'm sorry for her and never considered what she wants."
"It's not too late to understand now." Mu Yan said to Bai Yuan, "If you do something wrong, you can still make up for it. It is a great blessing in life."
"The Lord of Ajiu is right, I have received the teachings." Bai Yuan seemed to have grown a lot and became much haggard in one day, but his eyebrows became peaceful.
Sometimes it is just a thought of heaven and hell. After Bai Yuan suddenly woke up, he looked at Bai Yi who was seriously injured and realized that he was really wrong in the past. He secretly cultivated Bai Yi from childhood to adulthood, and he spent a lot of effort, but he never really cared about whether Bai Yi was happy. Until now, he didn't know what Bai Yi liked to do, what food he liked to eat, and what kind of life he wanted to live, because he never paid attention to these things.
But they should be the closest people in the world! Bai Yi's parents are gone. Bai Yuan, as Bai Yi's biological grandfather, did not let Bai Yi grow up beside him, and did not see with his own eyes how his only granddaughter learned to walk, when he asked someone to grow up from a young girl to a big girl. This was caused by himself. He pushed Bai Yi away with his own hands and made Bai Yi disguise himself as a man since childhood, and lived a cautious life and did not dare to reveal his identity. Until now, he realized how unfair those who were to Bai Yi were? His grandfather was simply terrible!
Tuoba Yan has a saying that has been echoing in Bai Yuan's mind. It is not a pity to lose everything else, but he only has one granddaughter. If Bai Yi really has a few shortcomings because of his ridiculous ambitions, he lives in this world without a person with a bloodline, what's the point?
The tragedy of the disciples of Wuzong in Qisha City made Bai Yuan sweat when he learned about it. He was very glad that he stopped the horse. At the same time, he truly realized how cruel and bloody the royal struggle was. He could not afford to play it at all and could not afford to lose!
Now Bai Yuan only hopes that Bai Yi can wake up and get better. He will make up for Bai Yi and try his best to be a qualified grandfather. As for the future, Bai Yuan thinks that he can listen to Bai Yi’s thoughts at that time, because he has only discovered today that his granddaughter is actually much smarter than him.
"President Bai Sect is here to watch. If Bai Yi wakes up, call me." Mu Yan said to Bai Yuan, "I'll send you food here, so the master Bai Sect is going to eat a little."
"Thank you." Bai Yuan thanked again. Seeing Mu Yan and Tuoba Yan turning around and leaving, Bai Yuan looked at Bai Yi who was unconscious again, hesitated for a moment, called Mu Yan, and asked: "Lord Ajiu City, I know this is very presumptuous, but is Mr. Lin really impossible with Yi'er? Yi'er really likes him very much. Last time, it was wrong. I discussed with Mr. Lin for a marriage. Now I think that as long as Yi'er is happy, everything is fine."
Mu Yan was a little surprised by Bai Yuan’s question, but she still answered seriously: “Senior Bai, we can understand that you always care about Bai Yi, but it is better to leave this matter to Bai Yi himself. I will not make any decisions for my elder brother. Senior Bai should learn to respect Bai Yi. If she knew that Senior Bai asked me such a question, she would not be happy.”
Bai Yuan looked slightly stunned, and then he saw Mu Yan leaving with Tuoba Yan.
Prince Wang Mansion.
Qingyuan has always been awake. Her injuries have been treated and she has seen the person sent by Qingyu, but she has not allowed the person to discover Yang Xuan's existence. As for where Qingyu went, the person sent by Qingyu did not ask, and Qingyuan did not explain.
When it was almost dark, the mute girl Xiaoya was feeding Qingyuan medicine. A guest came to her house, but she was Qingyuan's parents.
"My poor Yuan'er, are you okay?" Qingyuan's mother wiped her tears as soon as she saw Qingyuan.
Qing Yan and Qing Yuan both have excellent appearances. Their mother was naturally a beauty when she was young, but now there are inevitably traces of time on her face. Her name is Song Yan, and she is the legitimate daughter of a female general in Qingluan Kingdom. She married Qingchi, the son of Qingyu.
Although there are more than one man in the Qingluan Kingdom's noble women, there is only one situation except that the wife married by Qingyu's descendants must not have a second husband, nor are they allowed to have an affair with other men. One reason is for the face of the Qing royal men. After all, Qingyu does not value her children and grandchildren, so he cannot let them "marry" people and share a wife with other men; secondly, the most important thing is for the purity of the royal bloodline of the royal family. Take Qingchi as an example. If his wife has other men, the child she gave birth to may not be the bloodline of the Qing royal family.
Song Yan is a tiger girl in the general and has always been very strong, while Qingqi's personality has always been a bit cowardly. However, they are still a recognized loving couple in Fengming City. Qingqi never plays with flowers and plants, and Song Yan is also devoted to Qingqi, at least on the surface.
Originally, Qing Chi and Song Yan had a pair of children, so they should be a family that envied others. Unfortunately, their son would basically be valued in other countries, but in Qingluan, it was the opposite.
Qingchi and Song Yan didn't like Qingchi since they were born because they liked their daughter more, so that their daughter could be successful and the possibility of making a name for themselves. However, during the time they treated Qingchi badly, Qingchi was still very young and did not remember anything. When Qingchi remembered it, she was attracted by Qingyu and cultivated it. Qingchi and Song Yan's attitude changed a little, resulting in Qingchi's memories, his parents, and his grandmother, who were very good to him in the memory of Qingchi in the past many years.
Later, Qingchi and Song Yan had a daughter, Qingyuan. They loved Qingyuan very much. Even though they did not know until today that their precious daughter Qingyuan was actually the princess chosen by Qingyu, and they were so powerful that before that, they knew nothing about Qingyuan's strength.
So, when they met Qingyuan, they were concerned on the surface but excited on the inside.
Song Yan sat down beside Qingyuan's bed, grabbed Qingyuan's hand, but pulled Qingyuan's wound. Seeing Qingyuan frowning, Song Yan quickly let go: "Yuan'er, it's all bad for mother, do you feel pain?"
"It doesn't hurt, dad and mom should sit there." Qingyuan's face was still a little pale. Qingchi, who was standing there a little restrained and didn't know what to do.
Qingchi sat down, and Song Yan did not go over to sit with him, but looked at him and said, "Since you are all here, go and see Wanger!"
"Oh!" Qing Chi said and stood up and prepared to walk out.
"Dad, don't go, my brother is not in the mansion." Qingyuan called out Qingchi.
"You are so seriously injured. He is not in the mansion to take care of you, so where have he gone?" Song Yan said with some dissatisfaction.
"He has something else." Of course, Qingyuan couldn't tell the truth. She knew where Qingyan was now, and everything was still under her control.
"Dad, I want to talk to my mother." Qingyuan said to Qingchi.
Qing Chi, who was about to sit back, stood up straight again and said with a smile: "Then I'll go out for a walk. This is the first time I'll be here in Prince Ying's Mansion."
Qing Chi finished speaking and went out. Song Yan looked at his back, clearly disgusted, turned to look at Qing Yuan, and smiled again.
"Mom, you obviously don't like dad. You have been having a very wronged life over the years, right?" Qingyuan said with a faint expression.
Song Yan was stunned for a moment: "Yuan'er, what were you talking about?"
"Mom doesn't have to pretend in front of me." Qingyuan said, "In my eyes, father is a very cowardly person. I have always had other men behind my back. I've known this a long time ago."
Song Yan's expression froze. Although this kind of thing is no big deal for women in Qingluan Country, she still feels a little embarrassed when her daughter mentions it to her face like this, and she smiles and says, "What are Yuan'er doing for these things?"
"Is the eldest brother my father's biological son?" Qingyuan looked at Song Yan and asked.
"Of course! So I got angry when I saw your elder brother's face!" Song Yan snorted lightly.
"What about me?" Qingyuan looked at Song Yan and asked.
Song Yan's eyes flashed a little: "Yuan'er, don't talk nonsense. Mom has... been with Guard Zhao in the past few years... But a few years ago, I was afraid that your ancestor would find out that his mother would blame him, so Mom would never dare to do anything randomly!"
