Chapter 233 The wonderful fragrance of the Western Regions

"What's wrong?" Bai Mohuai looked at her worriedly, "But you feel unwell?"

Bai Xianyu shook his head, "I don't understand the meaning of this sentence."

Bai Jingyuan served her a bowl of red date chicken soup, "What don't you understand?"

"Does the decree mean that the emperor will definitely make the eldest brother his eldest brother?" Bai Xianyu looked at him persistently, as if he wanted an answer.

"Um."

Bai Mohuai felt a little strange. There shouldn't be a possibility that he couldn't understand such a simple truth, so it could only be... Xiao Yu'er was a little unbelievable.

"I know what you are thinking, but the thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the emperor. Could it be that the emperor is a minister of the emperor?" Bai Jingyuan said slowly: "The emperor bestowed this position. Although the eldest brother is only in his twenties, he is absolutely

If you can afford it, drink from the vast sea of ​​horses, be granted the title of marquis and worship the prime minister, this is also my dream, Xiao Yu'er, please feel at ease."

Bai Xianyu's eyes moved slightly.

How could she not know that her eldest brother Qiuji has been pursuing his father's footsteps all his life, and he only hopes to support Yulong and die for the king. In his previous life, his eldest brother was also granted the title of Marquis, but it was only a few years later.

How could it be now? Doesn't that mean that the General's Mansion doesn't have many happy days left?

Although Bai Mohuai was a little frightened, he was more happy for his brother, "The Emperor has always treated us very well in the General's Palace. This time, my eldest brother's performance must be particularly impressive, so he should be happy to be granted the title of Marquis."

Bai Xianyu nodded absently, not wanting to spoil the fun, and forced a smile, "Second brother is right."

Bai Jinyan is the most carefree one. He hasn't learned how to take exams yet, so he can't get involved in court affairs. Although staying at home to prepare for exams is boring, it's also leisurely.

After a meal, the white fish was very unpleasant to eat.

She even forgot to go to Bai Mohuai's place to look at the spices. Her mind was a little confused, and she didn't know what to do next. For the first time since her rebirth, Bai Xianyu showed a confused look.

Bai Jingyuan and Bai Mohuai looked side by side at Bai Xianyu's leaving figure, but neither of them spoke for a moment.

It was Bai Mohuai who finally broke the silence, "I read the letter from Xiao Yu'er. My mother is not Jiangnan's biological ancestor?"

"Yes." Bai Jingyuan said: "After my investigation, this news is true. However, my mother suffered a flood and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. It is difficult to confirm her identity and place of origin. There is no progress yet."

Bai Mohuai said nothing.

Bai Jingyuan was silent for a while, "Xiao Yu'er has a portrait of her mother when she was young, which is closer to the age when she disappeared. I have asked people to copy the portrait and search around. Second brother, if you are free, you can also ask your subordinates to check it.

check."

Bai Mohuai nodded and looked at the eaves not far away. Fine raindrops fell on the stone slabs covered with a little fine moss. The air he inhaled in his lungs seemed to be moistened a lot, giving him a sense of lightness. "Of course, you sent

Just bring the portrait."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but Bai Jingyuan hesitated, "Second brother..."

Bai Mohuai paused, "What's the matter?"

Bai Jingyuan opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, a very familiar voice came from the front left, "Second brother, third brother!"

The two men turned around at the same time, and saw Bai Xianyu trotting over, panting and holding the hairpin on her temples. Her expression was very serious, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked straight at the two of them.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Mohuai walked forward with a smile and reassured her.

Bai Xianyu looked at Bai Jingyuan, calmed his breathing, and said, "Third brother, do you still remember what I told you about the twins last time?"

Bai Jingyuan's eyes narrowed for a moment, "What did you find?"

The man in a light blue robe was confused, and Bai Xianyu briefly explained.

Bai Mohuai raised his eyebrows, "So, your dream was quite real."

There was a hint of joy on Bai Xianyu's face. After hearing what her second brother said, she was willing to believe her. In this case, maybe things would be easier to handle later. She looked at Bai Jingyuan again and answered his question, "I didn't discover anything.

, but..."

"...I had a new, ominous dream."

Speaking of the last two words, Bai Xianyu felt a little cold all over, but even if she didn't want to think about it, she didn't know how much they believed it, but she had to say it now. She could no longer predict what would happen in the future.

One wrong step and we will be separated forever.

Bai Jingyuan frowned, "What dream?"

"I dreamed that I was the only one left in the huge general's mansion." Bai Xianyu trembled, "The eldest brother was plotted, the food and grass were delayed, the second brother's house was raided, and the third brother was imprisoned.

The fourth brother was demoted."

Seeing this, Bai Mohuai called for someone to bring a cloak and put it on the trembling Bai Xianyu. He said warmly: "Sister, don't worry. My eldest brother has been plotted. Jing Yuan will definitely seek justice for him. If I am raped,

Got a home..."

He smiled to himself, "I am not an imperial merchant, and the business I do is quite satisfactory. Why did the emperor want to raid my home?"

Bai Xianyu was speechless for a moment.

After a long time, she said: "Maybe he thinks we are a threat."

She still has no clue as to why. Things in the future have not happened yet, and Emperor Wu Xuan's attitude has not changed yet.

But no matter what, the person who made the emperor take such cruel measures must have felt that they threatened his imperial power.

And now I don’t know when that opportunity will come.

"A family should be in the same spirit, so that even if someone is framed, they won't be alone." Bai Jingyuan didn't seem to care, and rubbed the top of her hair with his warm palm, "Dreams are sometimes true and sometimes false.

, I have something to think about every day, and something to dream about at night, Xiaoyuer, maybe you are tired."

"Brother, don't you believe me?" Bai Xianyu made himself look serious.

Seeing the little girl frowning fiercely, looking like a young adult, Bai Mohuai slowly raised his lips and explained: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just Xiao Yu'er..."

He paused for a moment, then saw Bai Li relaxing beside him, and then spoke in a low voice, "The meaning in your dream is that the emperor wants to destroy the Bai family. This is not a child's play. If the monarch and his ministers are separated from each other, there will be disaster even though it is not necessary. What do you mean?"

Everything that happened in your dream will happen in reality, so can you prove it?"

Bai Jingyuan also meant this.

Bai Xianyu looked happy. What this meant was that as long as she could prove it, they would believe her?

She was about to continue speaking, but something occurred to her, like a basin of cold water being poured from top to bottom.

There was no sound for an instant.

In the past, she could have just said something that would happen in the near future to prove that what she said was true.

But now, it can't be done.

The eldest brother's appointment as a marquis was like a huge chasm, cutting off and swallowing up all the history she knew.

From now on, everything that happens in this world may become different.

Bai Xianyu has never felt so cold in her heart, as if an ice pick was piercing the soles of her feet, and a bone-chilling chill shot straight to the sky.

The air was silent for a while, and the approaching summer rain seemed to carry a chill, going straight to the bottom of her skirt and into her sleeves.

Bai Jingyuan pondered for a moment, his eyes were bottomless, but his tone was soft, "Brother will return to Kyoto the day after tomorrow. Do you remember what happened?"

Bai Xianyu nodded blankly and said dryly: "Remember."

He was welcomed outside the city and given a banquet at the Liuli Palace.

There are still some things that haven't changed.

A glimmer of hope flashed in her heart, "Third brother, what do you want to know?"

He stepped forward and patted her back soothingly, "Don't panic."

Bai Jingyuan obviously knew much more about the affairs in the palace than Bai Mohuai. He paused for a few seconds and said, "The envoys of the Western Yi said that they will offer three treasures to me, Da Kui. What three are they?"

Bai Xianyu stiffened for a moment, "Envoy of the Western Yi?"

In my memory, the time when the Western envoys came to Kyoto was clearly the 26th year of Qianyuan!

But they didn’t offer any gifts either…

The questions Bai Jingyuan asked were neither tricky nor difficult - if it was true as Xiao Yu'er said, she should have remembered it.

After asking, he and Bai Mohuai both looked at Bai Xianyu.

She bit her lip and said, "Although I don't know what they presented, I know that the Right Prime Minister will leave the glass banquet. Among the concubines brought by the emperor are the queen, the noble concubine, and a noble king, and the envoys from the West will

Asking to marry the seventh princess, is this enough?"

Bai Jingyuan nodded, with an incomprehensible expression, "That's enough."

"If it's really what you said, then..." He paused, and the second half of the silence was unusually awkward.

Bai Xianyu can fully understand Bai Jingyuan's reaction when he heard this. Even she couldn't believe it when she first knew it was Emperor Wu Xuan's instruction. The Bai family has been loyal to Da Kui for decades, and they have been taught by their fathers since childhood to be loyal to the emperor.

Be patriotic, devote yourself to your country, and die.

Word of mouth is passed down, don’t forget it.

It is a foundation and a belief.

Once it collapses, how can you not feel cold and confused?

Bai Mohuai took note of Bai Xianyu's words and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, don't be nervous, I see you're sweating a lot."
