07, couple strangers

Princess Zhaoguo Mansion

Baili Qinghong sat in the study, staring at the file spread out in front of him and was in a daze. A slight sound came from outside the door. Baili Qinghong suddenly looked up and saw a young man appearing at the door. Baili Yuan stood at the door and looked at his father with a complicated expression. Baili Qinghong's eyes flashed slightly, and he closed the file and asked, "Yuan'er, what's the matter?" Baili Yuan looked at him, frowned slightly and said, "Father, mother and brother..."

Baili Qinghong frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not something you should care about."

Bailiyuan's brows tightened a little more when he heard this, but his original childish youth face was somewhat mature and worried.

"Father, my younger brother has just been born, you should go and see your younger brother and mother." Bailiyuan said in a deep voice.

Baili Qinghong looked up at him and said calmly: "Do you think your mother wants to see me now?" Baili Yuanran mutes. He is much precocious than ordinary children, but many things are not understandable to his age. For example, he doesn't understand why the relationship between his father and mother has been strange for so many years, but he always shows a deep affection in front of others. Why is it now like this? For example, in the past, my mother always devoted herself to her father, and she was also thinking about her father, but now she has become strangers. Naturally, what he understands more is why her father, who has been enduring these years, suddenly refused to endure it any longer.

There was only one thing he knew clearly. That was... his home was about to become fragmented, and he kept trying to do something to save it, but in fact he could not do anything.

For a child of his age, nothing is bigger than the time when his home is about to be broken.

Baili Qinghong looked in front of her and tried to calm down, but she still couldn't hide her panic in her eyes. Baili Qinghong sighed lightly and said, "Yuan'er, I'll send you away from Shangjing." Baili Yuan opened his eyes wide in horror, and looked at Baili Qinghong and said, "Father...father?!" Baili Qinghong said, "If you leave Shangjing, someone will take care of you." Baili Yuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! Father, I won't leave!"

“Why?”

"I want to be with my father, mother, and younger brother and sister!" Baili Yuan said, looking at Baili Qinghong hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I am my brother, I want to protect my younger brother and sister." Baili Qinghong said, "You are a smart child, and you should be able to see their attitude towards you." Baili Yuan looked at his father in amazement. He was indeed a smart child, so he naturally understood what his father said. The father did not want him to be too close to his younger brother and sister. Maybe it has been like this all the time, but he had never noticed it before. Because the parents have always seen the attitude of younger brother and sister towards him, but neither mother nor father have ever expressed any opinions on it. Perhaps from the beginning, the father had a much closer relationship with his younger brother and sister than he wanted him to be.

Bailiyuan was a little confused, "Father..."

Baili Qinghong waved to his son, Bailiyuan walked to his father and stood still, "Father?"

Baili Qinghong sighed and said, "It's very dangerous to go to Beijing recently... You can leave for a while first, and I will pick you up when the matter is calmed down."

"I don't, father, I..." Before Bailiyuan finished speaking, he saw Baili Qinghong suddenly stretching out his hand to him. Baili Yuan felt a pain behind his neck and dark in front of him, and fainted. Baili Qinghong reached out to catch the fainted son, lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "Come."

"Young Master." A man wearing the Princess's Mansion's guard costume walked in quietly and said respectfully.

Baili Qinghong asked, "Have you found the person you are looking for?"

The man nodded, looked at the child who was held in his arms by Baili Qinghong and said, "I found it, please rest assured. The child is at least 70% of the time he looks like the young master."

"Enough." Baili Qinghong said: "I'll send him away from Shangjing today."

The man asked, "Young Master plans to send the young master to..."

Baili Qinghong lowered his eyes, "Send it to Jiangnan and leave it to his second brother."

"This..." The man hesitated a little. Yun Yi, the only two remaining young men in the Baili family, hated the young men to the core, and now he is following the Jingbei army in the army and cannot take care of the children at all. Although the second young man Yun Xu is peaceful in Tianqi, he is afraid that he will not be willing to raise the young men. Baili Qinghong said: "It's okay, send him over. The second brother will not care about a child. I can only feel at ease if I send it to him."

Seeing that Baili Qinghong had made up his mind, the man stopped saying anything. He walked over and picked up Bailiyuan, and said respectfully: "Sir, please follow the order, take care of yourselves."

Baili Qinghong nodded and said, "After sending him, you don't have to come back. Just stay in the Apocalypse to protect Yuan'er."

"Yes, my subordinates have surrendered."

Baili Qinghong watched the man holding Bailiyuan away with a look of indifferent expression. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Come here!"

A moment later, the two attendants walked in, "The Prince Consort."

Baili Qinghong said lightly: "The eldest son said rudely and did not accept discipline. He was suspended for half a month and sent him to copy scriptures to pray for the princess. No one except those who delivered food were allowed to visit him."

The attendant was a little puzzled and couldn't help but look at each other. But when he turned around, the cold eyes of hundreds of Li Qinghong still swallowed the doubts in his heart, and quickly lowered his head. The eldest son was not valued in the mansion, and even if the princess was good, she might not beg for him. What's more, it's hard for the princess to even get up now, so who dares to speak for him?

In the bedroom on the other side, Tuoba Mingzhu was lying on the bed as thin as withered bones. Her eyes, which were originally of moderate size, now look big, and it makes people feel a little scared. Her skin color was an abnormal blue-white color. She suddenly looked at it and it looked like a corpse horizontally on the bed. Not far from the bedside, a small baby was asleep quietly. The child was just born, and he was a little wrinkled as if he was a little old man who had not grown up. This was not a good-looking child. While the maid who was waiting here looked at the child's face, he opened his face in a bit uncomfortable, and comforted himself in his heart: All newborn children are like this, and it will be fine if they open in two days.

Tuoba Mingzhu slowly opened her eyes and found that the dormitory was quiet and frowned.

"Princess, are you awake?" A maid hurried forward, "I help you up?"

Just by getting up, Tuoba Mingzhu was a little panting. She glanced at the child who was still asleep in the cradle not far away, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes and asked, "Where is the prince consort?"

The maid's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Go back to the princess, the prince consort... I have something to do, I just left."

Tuoba Mingzhu sneered, "Just leaving just now? Didn't you come at all?"

The maid was startled and knelt down in front of Tuoba Mingzhu's bed with a thud. The child next to him was awakened, so he curled his lips and cried loudly. Tuoba Mingzhu was already weak in energy and was extremely depleted of blood and energy. At this moment, when she heard the child's crying, she felt that the eyes were getting dark and she couldn't help but scold: "Shut up! Don't cry!"

A newborn baby could not understand her anger. So Tuoba Mingzhu became more and more angry, grabbed the pillow beside her and smashed it towards the cradle. Fortunately, she was powerless after giving birth, and the pillow fell to the ground just before her bed. Tuoba Mingzhu couldn't help but scream: "Carry him out! It's so noisy!"

"Yes! Princess calm down!" The maid who cared for the child quickly picked up the cradle and was about to walk outside, for fear that the princess would do something to the little baby when she was angry.

"What's wrong?" Baili Qinghong's voice came from the door, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this. Baili Qinghong stood at the door and frowned. Tuoba Mingzhu stared at Baili Qinghong for a while, and then sneered: "The prince consort has finally got the time to come to see me?"

Baili Qinghong said: "What do you want?"

Tuoba Mingzhu felt a soreness in her heart, and her tears almost fell down. But she didn't know what she had to do and resisted it. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have nothing to tell me about my premature birth?"

Baili Qinghong said coldly: "Did the princess think that I caused you to give birth prematurely?"

"Isn't it?" Tuoba Mingzhu said sharply, "The girl who caused me to give birth prematurely is not the one in your study?"

"Unreasonable." Baili Qinghong said impatiently.

Tuoba Mingzhu sneered: "No matter whether it is unreasonable or not, the matter is always like this. Prince Consort, how should I deal with that bitch? I don't need to remind me? Or, Prince Consort thinks that the father has used you more now, so you can ignore this palace at all?" Baili Qinghong frowned slightly and said: "That girl... is missing."

"Baili Qinghong!" Tuoba Mingzhu screamed again, leaning back to the bedside with weak strength. She was too weak at this time, and roaring loudly consumed her physical strength. After a few words, her whole body became more and more ugly. Tuoba Mingzhu was so angry that she was trembling all over. She never expected Baili Qinghong to dare to protect a little girl so blatantly. Since a person like Baili Qinghong could not warm up his heart for more than ten years, Tuoba Mingzhu didn't think he would have any feelings for other women. However, this time, Baili Qinghong actually acted so abnormal for a girl who was serving in the study...

This made Tuoba Mingzhu feel that her persistence over the years has been a joke.

"Baili Qinghong... Hello, you are very good!" Tuoba Mingzhu said tremblingly.

Baili Qinghong immediately understood what Tuoba Mingzhu meant and frowned and said, "Do you think it was the one I let go?"

"Isn't it?" Tuoba Mingzhu sneered.

"No." Baili Qinghong said calmly.

Tuoba Mingzhu showed a bit of sarcastic expression on her face, obviously not believing him. Baili Qinghong frowned slightly, but still didn't explain it again. The more he explained Tuoba Mingzhu, the more he would think that he was guilty. Since that's the case, it would be fine if he didn't say it.

"Get out!" Tuoba Mingzhu pointed at the door and said.

Baili Qinghong obviously had no intention of staying for a long time, but said lightly: "There is news in the palace that His Majesty will leave the palace and come to visit the child in person in two days."

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Mingzhu's expression moved slightly but did not answer. Baili Qinghong looked at her and turned around and walked out. Seeing Baili Qinghong's figure disappearing outside the door, the momentum that Tuoba Mingzhu had been holding on to suddenly burst into pieces, and she fell down softly.

"Master...Princess?" Looking at Tuoba Mingzhu lying on the bed, who looked haggard and pale, the maid suddenly felt that the arrogant princess who had always been acting was a bit pitiful.

Tuoba Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Doctor Xuan is here!"

"Princess?"

Tuoba Mingzhu said: "Let the imperial physician prescribe medicine for me. In two days... I must welcome my father well."

The maid couldn't help but persuade: "Princess, Your Majesty is father and daughter. Your Majesty will definitely understand you if you are in poor health. Why..."

Tuoba Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "Go and do it!" If it were a few years ago, she naturally didn't have to worry. But now... this time she must win back her father's attention and favor for her. Tuoba Mingzhu never knew more clearly than now what the emperor's favor means.

The maid whispered: "However, the imperial physician said that the princess's body was very weak, and she could only be treated slowly or recovered. If she had used the tiger and wolf distance, she would probably be the princess in the future..."

Tuoba Mingzhu lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Now there is nothing, why are you talking about in the future? Send someone to send a letter to her mother, wait... I'll write the letter in person." Seeing Tuoba Mingzhu struggling weakly to get up from the bed, the maid had to come forward to support her, and responded helplessly: "Yes, princess."

Tuoba Mingzhu lowered her eyes and shook the coldness in her eyes. Baili Qinghong... It's not that easy for you to get rid of me!
