Chapter 178 - Skin (2)
Bai Ke would stay in the General's Residence and live in seclusion everyday, so he did not interfere with the matters of the Imperial Court. There were still Bai Ke's wife and daughters in the Mo Bei. Originally, they wanted to bring them to the west capital to stay, but Bai Ke had his brothers take good care of them.
west capital was a place that ate people without spitting out their bones. On this day, Princess Rui and her servants once again came to visit.
Bai Ke greeted his as usual.
Princess Rui brought a lot of presents to Bai Ke. Eldest Brother, this is the Western Territory's Lingzhi. This time I got three, and brought one to Eldest Brother. " After saying that, the servant girl carried a large plate of Lingzhi over to Bai Ke.
Bai Ke looked at these things and said: "En, thank you sister. I wonder what business does little sister have in coming to my general's estate today? " He hated literati who spoke in a gentle manner, always beating around the bush. He loved to be straightforward, and it was best to be straightforward about what he wanted to say.
Princess Rui always liked to lay the groundwork when she talked, so she got to the point.
"I know that the Eldest Brother has always been arrogant, and that the Windbone Eldest Brother of the Bai Family has always been the true successor of the General." Princess Rui had seen the mighty general before, the great general was indeed not bad looking, and his personality was always sharp, but this kind of person was always busy, rarely staying in the general's mansion, and she had never seen the general a few times.
"You've met my father?" Bai Ze also hadn't seen his father for a long time, he didn't even know where the general was currently.
Bai Ke asked: "Do you know where my father went to?"
"Of course." "The Princess Rui smiled. The general has gone to provide support to the posterior beam and will not be able to return for a while, so you still need to wait patiently, Eldest Brother. " The Princess Rui said.
He naturally knew about the matters of the posterior beam, but he did not expect that the Beizhou would actually go and provide support.
"Right." Bai Ke agreed.
"It's better not to investigate the matter with Eldest Brother's mother. Mother has already been buried, now that you've looked into it, it's really … "Unfilial." ~ Is this the reason why Princess Rui is here?
Bai Ke looked at Princess Rui. "My mother died for no apparent reason. As her son, I don't believe that I can choke her to death with a single bite of food!"
"Eldest Brother, you have to accept reality! Mother is already dead. " The Princess Rui said.
"That's my mother!" Bai Ke said.
Princess Rui's eyes were filled with tears as she choked on her sobs, "Isn't she my mother as well? I was raised by her since I was young, and now that she's let go of me, I can't take it anymore. She's also my everyday mother! "
Bai Ke clenched his fists tightly. During his time in the Mo Bei, he had also been playing with the Sun every day. When he was sixteen years old, he left his sister and General behind and returned to the west capital together, then he no longer had the chance to see the Sun again. When she came back, only White Bar's funeral was handled by her adopted daughter.
Bai Ke could not accept the death, he went to look for a coroner, he wished that he could open the coffin and examine the corpse. But this is not the custom. Afterwards, the coroner told him that the General Madame's corpse had been cremated before entering the coffin …
"Then why did my mother's corpse turn into ashes?!" Bai Ke asked.
"Ask emperor."
Originally, Princess Rui had only said this casually, but she did not expect Bai Ke to enter the palace in the afternoon and ask him in front of him why he cremated the General Madame!
"The Princess Rui in the Prince Rui's Palace smashed three porcelain pieces consecutively in the room. Bai Family's brother is really a tough nut to crack! " Princess Rui said as she gritted her teeth.
There was still a use for the Bai Family to keep it, and it was still her backer. Since you like to investigate so much, this Princess will help you! " Princess Rui's eyes carried a faint killing intent. I'll let you have a long memory and teach you how to be a person. "
"Someone, come."
A dark guard came out of the shadows.
"Help my good brother create some evidence to instruct him!" Princess Rui said. Just follow the general's instructions, Madame's method of choking to death. "Remember to hold your breath."
"Yes sir!"
The guards returned to the darkness, and the room was quiet again. When Princess Rui saw the messy house, the irritation in her heart disappeared.
When the door was pushed open, King Rui saw that the room was covered in messy papers. The walls were even painted with pictures of the first time he saw a beauty, and even now, there was still some charm contained in them. It is not clear who will emerge victorious from the recent upheaval.
That day, King Rui drew many more portraits. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, walked over to the caving wood, and took a sip of water from the table.
It had been a long time since he had reentered his concubine's room in the courtyard. Besides the girl that he had kidnapped from the teahouse, it seemed like it had been a long time. He had always been drawing in the study. Sometimes, he would even write some local recommendations for the emperor to see. He needed something that could prove his ability.
Princess stood outside the study. "She had never thought that one day he would be able to compete for the favor of a painting. There were so many women in the backyard, but none of them could be said to be unfair to her." For a face like mine to lose to a painting? " Princess gnashed his teeth.
"Mother!" Ming'er was only two years old, but he cried out weakly in Princess Rui's arms.
"Ming'er be good, mother will bring you to see daddy." Princess Rui amiably said to her son.
"Daddy!" The child shouted in a soft voice.
The study's door slowly opened. The room was already cleaned up. Other than the two paintings, there was nothing else on the wall. King Rui had just cleaned up her study. When he heard the door being pushed open, he looked back and saw that there was no one there. He lowered his head and saw the small lump of meat.
"Daddy ~" The little baby raised its head and ran towards King Rui while stretching its arms.
King Rui crouched down and hugged the child, "Ming'er, be good."
"Daddy, hug ~" The child spoke while gritting his teeth.
"Daddy is carrying Ming'er ~" King Rui picked up the child. "Raising his head, he saw the Princess Rui at the entrance. Look at what? "Come in ~"
Princess Rui walked into the room slowly. She looked at the child in King Rui's arms with a curved face. He's been in the study all day and he's going to forget about you. "
"How could that be? "I'm his father." He went to tease the child again.
In the end, blood is thicker than water...
"Daddy ~" The child mewled softly.
"En ~ Ming'er be good ~"
"Daddy ~"
