The delicate beauty was spoiled by four older brothers after her rebirth

Chapter 233 The Wonderful Fragrance of the Western Regions
"What's wrong?" Bai Mohuai looked at her worriedly, "But you don't feel well?"

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

Bai Jingyuan served her a bowl of chicken soup with red dates, "Why don't you understand?"

"The meaning of the decree is that the emperor will definitely seal the eldest brother as a marquis?" Bai Xianyu looked at him persistently, as if he insisted on an answer.

"Ah."

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

"I know what you're thinking, but thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the emperor. Could it be a king's minister on the coast of the land," Bai Jingyuan said slowly: "The emperor bestowed this position. Although the elder brother is only in his 20s, he will definitely support it." Affordable, drinking horses in the sea, conferring marquis and paying homage to prime minister is also the dream of big brother, little fish, don't worry."

Bai Xianyu's eyes moved slightly.

How could she not know that elder brother Qiongji has been following in the footsteps of his father all his life, and only wished to carry Yulong to die as the king. In the last life, elder brother was also a 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.

Although Bai Mohuai was a little startled, he was more happy for his elder brother, "The emperor has always treated our general's mansion very well, this time it must be because the elder brother's record is particularly strong, so he should be happy to be named a marquis."

Bai Xianyu nodded absent-mindedly, not wanting to spoil the fun, forced a smile, "Second brother is right."

Bai Jinyan was the most carefree one. He hadn't taken the exam yet, so he couldn't get involved in court affairs. Although it was boring to stay at home and prepare for the exam, it was also leisurely.

For a meal, Bai Xianyu did not taste very good.

She even forgot to go to Bai Mohuai's place to look for 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 at the back of Bai Xianyu leaving side by side, and neither of them spoke for a while.

In the end, it was Bai Mohuai who broke the silence, "I read the letter from Xiao Yu'er, and my mother was not born to Jiangnan's grandfather?"

"Yes." Bai Jingyuan said: "After my investigation, the news is true, but my mother was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River because of a flood. It's hard to confirm her identity and place of origin. There is no progress yet."

Bai Mohuai did not speak.

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 had the portrait transcribed and searched around. If you are free, second brother, you can also ask my subordinates to look into it. check."

Bai Mohuai nodded, looking at the eaves not far away, the fine raindrops fell on the stone slab with a little fine moss, the air inhaled into the lungs seemed to be moistened a lot, and there was a sense of lightness, "Naturally, you send Let people bring the portrait."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but Bai Jingyuan hesitated to speak, "Second Brother..."

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

Bai Jingyuan opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, an all-too-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, she looked very serious, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked straight at the two of them.

"Why is it in such a hurry?" Bai Mohuai walked forward with a smile, giving her a go.

Bai Xianyu looked at Bai Jingyuan, took a breath, 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 the light blue robe was confused, and Bai Xianyu briefly explained.

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

A gleam of joy appeared on Bai Xianyu's face. After listening to the second brother's words, she was willing to believe her. In this case, perhaps the rest of the matter would be easier. She looked at Bai Jingyuan again and answered his question, "I didn't find anything. , but..."

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

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

If you take a wrong step, you 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 against, the food and grass were delayed, the second brother's house was confiscated, and the third brother was imprisoned. The fourth brother was demoted."

Seeing this, Bai Mohuai called for someone to fetch a cloak, put it on the trembling Bai Xianyu, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister, don't worry, elder brother is plotted against, Jing Yuan will definitely seek justice for him, if I am copied home..."

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

Bai Xianyu was dumbfounded for a moment.

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

The reason for this is that she still has no clue, the future has not happened, and Emperor Wu Xuan's attitude has not changed yet.

But no matter what, the one who made the emperor do such a cruel thing must think that they threatened his imperial power.

And that opportunity, now I don't know when it will come.

"A family should be united, so that even if someone is framed, they won't be isolated and helpless." Bai Jingyuan didn't seem to care, and rubbed the top of her hair with his warm palm, "Dreams are sometimes real and sometimes false. , thinking about it every day, dreaming at night, little fish, you may be tired."

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

Seeing the little girl frowning her willow eyebrows fiercely, looking like a little adult, Bai Mohuai slowly curled her lips, and explained: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just Xiao Yuer..."

He paused for a while, and saw Bai Li who was letting the wind aside, and then said in a low voice, "What you dreamed meant was that the emperor wanted to destroy the Bai family. Everything that happened in your dream will happen in reality, can you prove it?"

Bai Jingyuan also meant this.

Bai Xianyu's expression brightened, what does this mean, as long as she can prove it, then they will believe her?
She was about to continue talking, but she thought of something, like pouring a basin of cold water from head to bottom.

Instantly there was no sound.

In the past, she could just say something that would happen in the near future to prove her words are true.

But now, I can't.

The elder brother's title of marquis was like a huge gap, cutting off and swallowing 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, like an ice pick piercing through the soles of her feet, and the bone-chilling chill goes straight to the sky.

The air was silent for a while, and the rain that was approaching summer seemed to bring a chill, and it went straight to the bottom of the skirt and penetrated into the cuffs.

Bai Jingyuan pondered for a moment, his eyes were bottomless, but his tone was soft, "Brother will return to the capital in the future, do you remember what happened?"

Bai Xianyu nodded blankly, and said dryly, "I remember."

Welcome outside the city and give a banquet to the Liuli Palace.

Still some things 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 on the back reassuringly, "Don't panic."

Obviously, Bai Jingyuan knew much more about the affairs in the palace than Bai Mohuai. He paused for a few seconds, "The envoy from Xiyi said that they will present three treasures to me, Da Kui. Which three are they?"

Bai Xianyu froze, "Xiyi envoy?"

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

But they didn't offer gifts...

The questions Bai Jingyuan asked were neither tricky nor difficult - if it was really what Xiao Yuer said, she should have remembered it.

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

She bit her lip, "Although I don't know what they offered, but I know that the right minister will leave at the glazed banquet, and the concubines brought by the emperor include the queen, the noble concubine, and a royal nobleman, and the Xiyi envoys will Is it enough to ask to marry the Seventh Princess?"

Bai Jingyuan nodded, his expression unclear, "Enough."

"If it's true as you said, then..." His voice paused, and the second half of the silence was a little dazed.

Bai Xianyu can fully understand Bai Jingyuan's reaction when she heard this. Even she couldn't believe it when she first knew that it was the order of Emperor Wu Xuan. Their Bai family has been loyal to Da Kui for decades, and they have been taught by their parents since childhood to be loyal to the emperor. Patriotic, devoted to one's life and death.

Word of mouth, never dare to forget.

It is the foundation and also the belief.

Once it collapses, how can we not be chilled and dazed.

Bai Mohuai remembered Bai Xianyu's words, and smiled on his face, "Okay, don't be nervous, I see you sweat a lot."

Bai Xianyu breathed out lightly, and rubbed the back of his hand absently, "Yeah."

A heart slowly let go.

She looked up, but saw Xiao Zheng had sneaked into the General's Mansion at some point, and was throwing a stone at the moment, hitting Bai Li, with a triumphant smile on his face.

Bai Li endured it, the back of his hand holding the sword was tense.

Bai Xianyu: "..."

Bai Mohuai seemed to have thought of something, and hissed softly, "Speaking of your prophetic dream, I have heard a lot of strange things in recent days, in the Western Regions, Buddhist temples are everywhere, and the people raised in the pure land seem to be particularly mysterious. "

From the moment Bai Xianyu saw Xiao Zheng, his heart arose again. Xiao Zheng came, which meant that Xie Xingyun was also here. He threw stones here. He is really a brave man with a high skill, isn't he afraid of being discovered...

He wasn't nervous, but Bai Xianyu became nervous. She hadn't had time to tell her second and fourth brothers.

"Among the spices I brought this time, there are also many stories. Among them, one flavor is the most rare, and it was made by Buddha..."

Bai Xianyu listened intermittently until her heart throbbed slightly, and her complexion changed slightly. She didn't want to show any strangeness in front of her two brothers, so she quickened her tone, "Second brother and third brother, I'm going to prepare a congratulatory gift for eldest brother. See you at dinner."

Bai Mohuai nodded.

Bai Jingyuan noticed something, raised his eyes to look at a certain place, but that place was very quiet, the wind seemed to bypass that place, and the rain fell straight down.

He looked away, and Bai Mohuai was still talking about the wonderful fragrance he brought back from the Western Regions with great interest, "...Jing Yuan, do you think it's magical?"

Bai Jingyuan hummed.

Bai Mohuai smiled, "Then shall I give you some Nanke for use?"
