Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2284 Hometown
After hearing Baili Celing's words, Du Ziqing was silent for a moment, "I always thought you hated your hometown."

At least, he should hate the owner of that sword.

After all, it was the owner of the Juque Sword who drove Baili Celing out of Soochow and threw him to Guiyang to fend for himself.

Baili Celing was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.With a hearty smile, the face full of gullies actually vaguely bears the shadow of that red-clothed boy back then.

After laughing, he said lightly, "You mean Dongfang Yi kicked me out of Soochow?"

Du Ziqing nodded.

Xie Liu is the son of Jiuqing, but he is not the highest born in the Black Tiger Army.

Few people know that one of the dark double jades in the black tiger double jade is the highest status person in the black tiger army.

But this is not an absolute secret.Because the surname "Baili" is too rare.

A child of a truly well-established family can guess something when they hear the name Baili Cering.

But if you're not brave enough, you won't be able to guess how high Baili Cering's background is.

Du Ziqing glanced at the man who had experienced many vicissitudes beside him.

This man who has been a horse slave in Xirong for nearly ten years and struggles in horse manure every day is a real relative of the emperor.

The surname "Baili" is the surname of the descendants of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

Today's Soochow King Zhao Muren has no queen, but this does not mean that Soochow has no descendants.Zhao Muren's mother, the queen of the previous Eastern Wu king, was named Baili, the eldest daughter of the Baili family patriarch, and was called Queen Baili by the officials.

The Baili family has a close relationship with the Zhao family in the past, and there have been many county princesses and high-ranking wives.But in this generation, the blood of the family is thin, and the patriarch only has one son and one daughter.

But there are not many children, but the quality is extremely high. More than 30 years ago, the eldest daughter of the Baili family was favored by the royal family and became the main family of the prince of Soochow. After the prince ascended the throne, she successfully became the queen, and the status of the Baili family rose accordingly.

In this case, the patriarch's only eldest son, as the heir of the family, should have been expected to be raised well.

However, the result was unexpected.

Out of the corner of Du Ziqing's eye, he looked at Baili Celing's scarred back of his hand.

Most of them were injured in Xirong, only one of the deepest knife wounds was caused by Baili Celing fighting with other dudes in a restaurant in Guiyang City.

Most of the "five capital youths" were the second sons or concubine sons of the family back then, and there were very few such as Baili Celing who were the only son in the family and were sent here.

Du Ziqing met Baili Cering in Xirong, and it was too late. He basically heard about Baili Cering's past from Xie Liu.

Baili Celing never took the initiative to mention his past to his cronies, but his surname was so famous that as long as he was a young man in Wudu, he would hear it from hearsay.

Queen Baili and the former king of Eastern Wu had a very good relationship. They gave birth to their eldest son, Zhao Muren, in the second year after they got married. Zhao Muren was named the prince at the age of three. The members of the Li family also rose step by step in the previous dynasty.

However, when the family fortune of Baili's family was in full swing, Queen Baili died of dystocia when giving birth to her second son.

Although the former king of Eastern Wu did not continue to marry the queen, he later gave birth to his concubine Zhao Guang with an unknown concubine.

The fortune of the Baili family was interrupted so far, and the family fortune plummeted.

It was rumored that Baili Cering was sent to Guiyang because Queen Baili passed away and her family fell into poverty, but this is not the case.

Du Ziqing took a deep breath.

The former king and queen of Eastern Wu had a deep love as husband and wife, and they also passed away in grief shortly after the queen's death. As the only younger brother of Queen Baili, Baili Cering will definitely be taken care of as long as he keeps his own place.

But Baili Celing didn't.

Du Ziqing narrowed his eyes. He heard from Xie Liu that Baili Celing was forcibly sent to Guiyang because of making trouble.

It was not the patriarch of the Baili family who sent him away, but Dongfang Yi, the national teacher of Soochow.

Xie Liuye didn't know exactly what was going on, but Du Ziqing could vaguely guess.

For a country's national teacher to take action, the matter must involve the royal family and the country.

What Baili Celing caused back then was by no means a trivial matter, it must have reached the palace.

"Why are you looking at me like this?"

Baili Celing glanced at Du Ziqing, "What are you planning, old man?"

Du Ziqing took a deep breath, "I was thinking, what the hell did you do back then, Dongfangyi wanted to send you to Guiyang, and didn't even treat you in my own country."

The only heir was sent away, but Baili's family did not resist, which proved that what Baili Cering committed was serious, and Dongfangyi should have a righteous name in his hands.

Baili Celing's eyes turned cold.

"Asshole?"

He sneered, "No matter where that old thing drives me, I will never admit to what I did."

"So what did you do?" Du Ziqing frowned.

Based on what he knew about Baili Celing, the other party really couldn't do anything harmful, and Dongfang Yi was not as moody as Ji Mo, so how could he be so ruthless?
Baili Celing took a deep breath and said lightly, "Autopsy."

"what?"

A chill hit Du Ziqing's back, making him wonder if he heard it wrong.

"I didn't do anything," Baili Celing locked his eyes firmly, and a raging flame could be seen inside.

"From beginning to end, I just asked for an autopsy."

"I want to examine my sister's body," Baili Cering paused, "I want to know how she died."

Didn't Queen Baili die in childbirth?
Du Ziqing was a little creepy, "Why do you have such a request, is there any doubt about the death of the queen?"

He now fully understands why Dongfang Yi drove Baili Cering out of Soochow.

After all, Queen Baili was married to the royal family, and Baili Cering, as her mother's family, requested an autopsy. This was tantamount to insulting the entire Soochow royal family and pouring dirty water on the face of the former king of Soochow.

If it arouses the suspicion of the public and officials about the privacy of the palace, the consequences will be disastrous.

But when Baili Cering made such a request to the royal family, he should naturally understand what would happen to him.

Originally, Queen Baili died of dystocia, but the former kings of Soochow still felt guilty about Baili's family, and might make more compensations later.

Baili Celing made a fuss, but he lost any sympathy, and his own future was in vain.

Although Baili Celing was young when he was kicked out of Soochow, he was already 15 years old, so he was not so stupid as to not understand such a simple truth.

Unless, for some reason, he had to do so.

Du Ziqing stared into Baili Celing's eyes, "Why did you ask for an autopsy?"

In other words, why did he feel that the death of Queen Soochow was strange?

Childbirth is a hurdle for women, and it is a dangerous thing, and many people die due to dystocia.Even if there is an imperial doctor in the palace, there is no guarantee that the mother and child will be safe.

Baili Celing could not conclude that his sister died unexpectedly just based on his emotions.

For Baili Cering, this was an extremely painful memory. He bowed his head in silence for a moment, and blurted out a few words from his mouth, "The corpse... I didn't see it..."

What didn't you see?

Du Ziqing was confused. Since Baili Celing requested an autopsy, he naturally didn't see his sister's body.

At this moment, Baili Celing raised his head and looked into his eyes, "I didn't see my nephew's body that day."

"What did you say?"
