Chapter 475 The Secret of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom
Bai Xiao looked straight at Xiao Lei's annoyed expression and was speechless for a moment.
Dark Three? Isn’t it bad to deceive a child who has just entered the palace like this?
"Don't listen to the nonsense of the secret agent. This matter has nothing to do with you at all."
"Brother Bai Xiao, if you're already like this, don't comfort me. I can't bear your punishment for you."
Xiao Lei made up his mind, took out two ingots of silver from his arms, and placed them in front of Bai Xiao.
"I have found the right egg. Give it to you as a reward from the emperor. Consider it a little compensation from me."
Bai Xiao looked at the two ingots of silver in front of him speechlessly.
How is he? He just received ten military sticks and will be in the field tomorrow. Besides, his words of comfort are not words.
Bai Xiao's cold face:
"Take it away!"
"Brother Bai Xiao, please take good care of yourself and I will come to see you again!"
Xiao Lei ran away as he spoke. Bai Xiao wanted to throw the two coins back to Xiao Lei.
But he was afraid that with Xiaolei's mind, he would think that he was hitting him? He had no choice but to give up.
Bai Xiao lay down weakly on the pillow. These days, to be honest, no one believes it yet, and it's all because of the unknown AN 3.
He put the bone flute on the bedside and took it over again to examine it.
It's really nothing special, and the workmanship is not very fine. The only thing worthy of scrutiny is the word "Muren" engraved on the bone flute.
Maybe it's the wolf girl's name.
The pain in his buttocks came back, so Bai Xiao had no choice but to close his eyes and rest his mind, and soon fell asleep, but his sleep was not very sound.
In his hazy state, he seemed to hear a little girl calling him "brother" sweetly.
"Brother, your flute is really special."
"This is a bone flute. I made it from crane wing bones. Does it look good?"
"It's so beautiful. Can you let me blow it?"
"Can you play the bone flute?"
"Won't."
"Then I'll teach you how to hold it like this."
Bai Xiao woke up from his dream, stood up suddenly, and pulled the wound on his butt. He didn't know whether it was pain or shock, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In the dream, who is that little girl, and who is that little boy?
Bai Xiao lowered his head and saw that he was still holding the same bone flute as in the dream, and fell into deep thought for a while.
So, is it something he thinks about every day and dreams about at night? Or is it the memory that remains deep in his mind?
On the other side, Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi have also returned to the palace.
After Chu Yunxi heard Bai Xiao's story, she really had no intention of going to appreciate the plum blossoms anymore. She just said that she was tired and wanted to rest, so she washed up and went to bed early.
She lay quietly for a while, then gradually fell asleep, directly entering the library tower in her dream.
As soon as I thought about it, I found the biography of a member of the Northern Man Kingdom's royal family.
Chu Yunxi wanted to see if he could find any information about the massacre of the China tribe.
She glances at everything and only looks for what she wants to see.
"Before he ascended the throne, the Northern Barbarian emperor was just an ordinary prince. In order to compete with the then Northern Barbarian prince for the throne, he sought the support of the most powerful China tribe. He deliberately planned to have a good relationship with the leader of the China tribe."
"Not only did he become a brother of the opposite sex with the leader, he promised to never cross each other. In order to gain his complete trust, he tried his best to help him, and even gave his second son, who had just turned one year old, to the leader of the Chena tribe to raise him."
Chu Yunxi's brows furrowed slightly, as if a tiger is poisonous and cannot eat its seeds, this Northern Barbarian emperor is so cruel!
Later, she could guess it even without looking. It must be burning the bridge across the river, and the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked.
But Chu Yunxi still wanted to see if he could find some useful information.
"The Northern Barbarian emperor spent ten years stabilizing his power and making other tribes surrender. Although the China tribe mainly focused on recuperation, they always kept pace with the Northern Barbarian royal family."
"The Northern Barbarian Emperor secretly received the news that the Yunxiao Kingdom intended to have good relations with the Chena tribe. Finally, he became cruel and carried out massacres in the name of visiting. He drove straight in and wiped out the leader of the Chena tribe in one fell swoop. He also kidnapped his tribe's people.
To be a slave and a maid.”
"The Emperor of the Northern Barbarians wanted to take back the second prince who was raised by the tribe leader, but unexpectedly he resisted to the death and even protected the people of the China tribe. The Emperor of the Northern Barbarians actually wielded the sword himself and cut his own son with his own hands."
"The Emperor of the Northern Barbarians has many heirs, and he does not need a son who has different intentions and may betray him at any time."
Chu Yunxi felt her scalp numb as she thought about it. It turned out that she had only seen the tip of the iceberg about how cruel people are.
Chu Yunxi rubbed her sleepy head and closed the biography.
Maybe it was due to pregnancy that I felt a little sleepy. After watching it for an hour, I couldn't hold it any longer.
Stepping out of the library tower, Chu Yunxi fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until the second day, when the sun was about three o'clock in the morning, and I was woken up by Xiaolian and Siqi.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
Chu Yunxi turned over lazily.
"Xiaolian, what time is it?"
"It's already time. Princess Wantao has entered the palace and is waiting to see you."
"What? Come on, change my clothes, don't let Wantao think that I only need Qiao."
Chu Yunxi quickly got out of bed. Xiaolian was carefully supporting her.
"Mother, please slow down and be careful."
Xiaolian had seen Mrs. Chu's belly when she was pregnant. It was not very visible when she was more than three months old. But the Queen Mother was already pregnant, and she didn't know if she had eaten too much.
Si Qi had already brought a wet handkerchief to clean her.
Chu Yunxi hurriedly packed up and asked Xiaolian to invite Princess Wantao from the side hall.
"Meet the Queen's sister-in-law. Congratulations to the Queen's sister-in-law on your happiness."
Princess Wantao heard the news that Chu Yunxi was pregnant and came to the palace to congratulate her. Chu Yunxi quickly helped her up.
"Wantao, I haven't seen you for a while, but you have grown taller."
Princess Wantao said happily:
"Well, it seems that I have grown a little bit taller."
Chu Yunxi led her to sit down at the table.
"You came just in time, come and have breakfast with me."
"Breakfast?"
Princess Wantao looked at the bright sun outside. She thought Chu Yunxi was tired and took a nap, but to her surprise, she just got up.
Chu Yunxi was quite embarrassed.
"I'm a little lazy today and got up a little late. Just eat some cakes and accompany me."
"Yes, Wantao accepts the order."
Princess Wantao responded playfully, thinking that Chu Yunxi was pregnant and it was normal for her to sleep a little, so she followed Chu Yunxi to sit down.
Chu Yunxi said with concern:
"Are you and your mother and concubine still used to living in the princess mansion?"
Princess Wantao nodded hurriedly.
"I'm used to it. In the past, I had to look at people's eyes and be cautious in everything I did. How can I be as comfortable as I am now? The emperor's sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about us."
Xiao Lian and Si Qi were directing the maids to serve breakfast.
Then he placed several plates of exquisite pastries in front of Princess Wantao.
"Try it, this is the new style made by the Imperial Kitchen. It's sweet but not greasy. You will definitely like it."
After Chu Yunxi introduced it, he also asked:
"If there is something lacking in the princess's mansion, you must tell me directly. There is no need to be polite. I have wronged myself."
Princess Wantao said gratefully:
"Brother and sister-in-law, the emperor sends people to reward you with gifts every now and then. There are too many things in the princess's house to be used up. There will be no shortage."
Chu Yunxi curled her lips and smiled.
"That's good. After breakfast, I'll take you to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms."
