She can go wherever she wants.

But I can't leave him anymore.

Xie Xingyun sighed softly, and walked towards the yard where Bai Xianyu lived.

……

Bai Jingyuan and Bai Jinyan arrived in the capital two days ago, and they did not return to the General's Mansion of Zhenguo. Although the General's Mansion that was almost burned to the ground three years ago has been repaired, they may have to be monitored when they return to the General's Mansion.

Apart from them, Bai Mohuai is also the same. He is no longer the number one wealthy businessman in Kyoto in name. He is dressed plainly and is not under supervision.

After the three met at the inn and discussed, they decided to go back to the General's Mansion together today.

Bai Jinyan was sullen, "My sister just left such a letter and left? Where is she going?"

It was about the letter Bai Xianyu wrote to her elder brothers before going to the imperial mausoleum. The letter said that she had a very important matter to attend to, and she might disappear for more than a month, so they should not look for her. Pay attention to those who inquire about the identity of the mother.

After Bai Jinyan excitedly found Bai Mohuai, he thought he would see Yaomei, whom he missed day and night, beside Bai Mohuai, but he didn't expect to get such a letter.

"Xiao Yu'er said it is a very important matter. It's quite secretive to think about it. It's not easy to explain it in the letter, but I'm afraid that we won't see her anxious, so I left the letter. We don't have to worry too much." Bai Mohuai said in relief.

In fact, he was also very worried, but as the oldest brother at this time, he could only hide his thoughts. According to the delivery time, Xiao Yu'er had already left on the first day he came to Kyoto. She happened to miss her, and for three years, he also missed her very much.

Bai Jingyuan frowned and looked out the car window, with a long-lost ominous feeling lingering in his heart, as if he was talking to himself, "Brother was sent to fight again..."

"Xiyi suddenly invaded, and all the frontier cities guarded by General Li fell, and they continued to erode southward. General Li's family was killed. The eldest brother is the nearest general. It is only natural for him to send him. Original."

"I know, it's just..." He had a faint feeling that it might not be that simple for Emperor Wu Xuan to transfer the eldest brother away at this time.

What did you notice?Still trying?
Bai Jinyan lay on his back, looking at the roof of the carriage, quite self-confidently: "I believe big brother, Xiyi is nothing to worry about, and he will return safely this time, third brother don't have to worry."

From a very young age, the eldest brother has been the pillar of the family, and to them, he is a respected existence like a father and a brother. As long as the eldest brother is there, it is like having the magic needle of Dinghai.

He believes that there is no battle that the eldest brother cannot win.

"Let's not talk about that for now, third brother, I'm afraid that entering the palace today will require a lot of swords and swords, so remember to be careful."

"Ah."

……

In the imperial palace, continuous black clouds crowded in the sky. It seemed that some kind of fierce beast was hidden in the thick clouds, and one could feel oppressed at a glance.

Bai Jingyuan and Bai Jinyan parted at the gate of General Zhen Guo's mansion, and he told the groom to turn around and go to the palace without stopping.

They have all arrived at the General's Mansion, and Emperor Wu Xuan will be informed of this news soon. Instead of letting him summon them, it is better to take the initiative to attack.

As Bai Jingyuan thought, when he appeared in front of Emperor Wu Xuan, there was no surprise on Emperor Wu Xuan's face.

He smiled and stepped forward to help him up, "Pingshen! Aiqing is finally back."

Bai Jingyuan stood up and smiled slightly, "Is your majesty's dragon body still healthy?"

"Very healthy! After you come back, my body will be healthier, and I don't have to worry about trivial matters all day long!" Emperor Wuxuan laughed a few times, looking like an open-minded monarch, "You follow me."

Bai Jingyuan made a bow.

When they arrived at the imperial study room, the two eunuchs guarding the door closed the door to cut off the sound from the outside world.

Emperor Wu Xuan sat behind the dragon case, with his back to Bai Jingyuan, rummaging for something.

Bai Jingyuan lowered his head, his expression couldn't distinguish between emotions and anger, he always felt a faint lingering smell in the room.

"Aiqing, how has your investigation progressed in the past three years?" the man in the dragon robe seemed to ask casually.

However, Bai Jingyuan smelled some danger from it, "Luckily, I did not disgrace my life. I have investigated all the people involved in the case of the twins and compiled a list."

He took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Long An.

At this time, Emperor Wuxuan also found what he wanted, which was a wolf hair. He couldn't see what material it was made of. He smiled and looked at Bai Jingyuan, "Come, grind ink for me."

Bai Jingyuan responded, and walked to Emperor Wu Xuan. The ink was polished to a bright red color like blood, and he frowned very lightly.

Emperor Wu Xuan opened the list, stained it with red ink, and opened the list that Bai Jingyuan handed over, "Are these all the replaced officials?"

"Yes."

"it is good."

He picked up a pen and drew a line of ink on the first name. The pen was sharp, like blood splashed from a knife, "Come here."

Two imperial guards with knives stepped forward and knelt down.

"Xuan Taifu Liu enters the palace."

Bai Jingyuan paused his grinding hands, and his deep gaze fell on the side of Emperor Wu Xuan. Emperor Wu Xuan was only in his 30s, and when he was supposed to be in his prime, he felt unspeakably tired. I haven't seen him for three years. Emperor Wu Xuan More elusive than ever.

Taifu Liu was a bit fat, with a naive smile, and after respectfully saluting, he said, "What is the important thing for your majesty Xuanchen to enter the palace?"

Emperor Wu Xuan glanced at him, and walked in front of him, his expression was completely different from when he faced Bai Jingyuan just now.

Emperor Wuxuan didn't call for Pingshen, Taifu Liu was kneeling all the time, with his forehead touching the ground, and the imperial study room was terribly quiet. He suddenly realized something was wrong, his smile gradually stiffened, his eyes rolled around, and he racked his brains to say something, "Your Majesty, but because……"

"Cough cough cough..."

A violent cough interrupted what he was going to say, Bai Jingyuan raised his eyes, his pupils shrank slightly.

In front of him, Emperor Wuxuan held the guard's knife in his hand, blood dripped slowly along the blade, and his expression was cold, while Taifu Liu had already fallen into a pool of blood, his fat body twitching non-stop, but the fatal wound did not give him After a while of extra breathing time, there was no movement at all.

Bai Jingyuan finally understood what the smell in the imperial study could not be concealed by the strong smell of spices.

It's bloody smell.

Emperor Wu Xuan threw the knife to the guard, who had the same expression of indifference, skillfully ordering someone to dispose of the corpse.

"Did you scare Ai Qing just now?" Emperor Wu Xuan walked towards Bai Jingyuan, his voice seemed concerned.

"The Grand Tutor's mistake should be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation. Your Majesty is a little too hasty." Bai Jingyuan's voice could not hear any ups and downs, as if the scene just now had just surprised him a little, but that was all. .

Emperor Wuxuan laughed and said, "But when I think of a few rogue rats making trouble under my nose, I'm not happy."

"Your Majesty is not afraid that the list submitted by the minister is wrong?"

"Even if he made a mistake, isn't it a blessing for him to die at my hands?" Emperor Wu Xuan continued to return to the case, "Furthermore, I believe that Jing Yuan will not make mistakes."

Bai Jingyuan felt a chill in his heart.

Emperor Wuxuan did this to warn him?Or are you used to this way of handling things?

But he knew that no matter which possibility it was, it would not be good news for them.

Although Emperor Wuxuan of three years ago was sometimes cold-blooded and warlike, he was not so ruthless and gloomy. What happened in the middle?
Could it be that what Xiao Yu'er said, the incident that caused Emperor Wu Xuan to murder his Bai family, has already happened?
Not knowing if he was echoing his thoughts, Bai Jingyuan's eyelids twitched wildly.
