Young man, please stay

Chapter 373 Three Things (There will be another one later)
“Qingqing…”

"stop."

Before Qin Lang opened his mouth, Bai Qingqing put her hand in front of his mouth:

"Don't ask me anything about the Rakshasa Cult or the empire behind it, because I know nothing. When I was found by the palace people in my infancy, I only had a copper token unique to the Rakshasa Cult disciples, nothing more."

"That…"

Qin Lang hesitated and said:
"You later... at least before the late emperor suppressed the Rakshasa Cult, didn't you think of going to the Rakshasa Cult to investigate your own life experience?"

"No."

Bai Qingqing shook her head:
"It's not necessary, because it's very common for the Rakshasa Cult to abandon their babies."

"universal?"

"Yes, to be precise, it was a common phenomenon during that period. Of course, it had nothing to do with the Mysterious Empire. It was just that during that period, the Rakshasa Cult was troubled by the Zhaixing Tower and the Beggars' Sect, and several large branches were destroyed. The big figures of the Rakshasa Cult were in seclusion, so the Rakshasa Cult was a bit 'broken' for a while, and they were fleeing every day. Many babies were better given away than brought with them... I was unlucky. I was thrown away in a hurry in the heavy snow. If I had been later, I would have frozen to death."

Bai Qingqing paused and said:
"But even if he didn't freeze to death, he got frostbite. That's why I was weak for a long time when I was a child. If it weren't for the careful care and food provided by the palace, I would have died long ago. That's why I say that I was blessed by God."

"I see…"

Thinking of these unknown secrets that even the empress didn't know, Qin Lang looked at the regent's profile and couldn't help but hold her jade hand.

"What then?"

"Then I grew up, although my voice was still damaged by the cold..."

When she said this, Bai Qingqing was obviously a little depressed, and she pursed her lips, which made Qin Lang smile:
"Actually, I've always wanted to say that your natural voice is very nice."

"Ugh."

The Regent sighed and reached out to touch Qin Lang lovingly, but his hands were sore from hugging his neck just now, and he was too lazy to lift them up, so he touched Qin Xiaolang lovingly:
"My beloved concubine, please stop comforting me. It's not nice at all. You sound like a little girl, especially... especially..."

The Regent's face turned slightly red, his voice became softer, and he pinched Qin Xiaolang:

"Especially when I am visiting you... you will definitely feel uncomfortable if I make a little girl's voice..."

"No no no!"

Qin Lang shook his head vigorously:
"Absolutely not. Little girls are also quite... cough!... I mean, uh... the voice of a little girl is harmless. Qin never cares about those empty words."

“Will it not…?”

"No, it won't hinder me at all."

"Oh fine."

Although he didn't know why his beloved concubine suddenly held her head high and chest out, showing great sincerity and confidence, the Regent chose to believe him.

Only God knows how many images of the Third Senior Sister in her smaller form flashed through Qin Lang’s mind, many of which were of her lying on the couch, and were rather evil.

The contrast between those extremely charming movements that make people's blood boil and her pure and tender appearance is really...

Ah! Amitabha!
It's such a sin...

Subconsciously, Qin Lang also chanted the Buddha's name in his heart, and then he realized belatedly how his behavior was consistent with that of Chanzhen Temple.

Ok…

This further proves that those bald donkeys are really not serious people!
……

"But generally speaking, I have grown up smoothly until I was six years old..."

Bai Qingqing continued, "...Then I started to practice martial arts... Well...the process was a bit difficult, but it was relatively smooth~"

When she said "the process was a bit difficult", Qin Lang knew that it was probably not that simple.

Bai Qingqing's talent was not the best, but Qin Lang had personally experienced her perseverance, persistence and positive attitude towards everything, so he could imagine how many times the young Regent had fallen and gotten up on the road to learning martial arts.

In this regard, she is even more competitive than Lady Su Yinping.

You know, Miss Su is already a determined person, but Bai Qingqing is obviously even more so.

only…

Logically speaking, it would be fine if they just picked up the abandoned baby, but they were also willing to let it learn martial arts. This made Qin Lang vaguely feel a little bit of the late emperor... How to say it...

The taste of "deliberate cultivation".

"correct."

Qin Lang interrupted, thinking of something:

"Qingqing, logically speaking, during the reign of Emperor Zhaotong, the imperial court's attitude towards the martial arts world, especially the old six sects, should not have been very good, which led to the subsequent crackdown on the barbarians. Then why... even though you clearly had the token of the Rakshasa Cult on you, the late emperor still adopted you?"

"That... I don't know, and I don't care. If I must say something, I once heard my grandma, who took care of me, say that when I was left in the snow, the wind was very strong and an ordinary baby would have been blown to death long ago, but I held on to the swaddling clothes tightly and refused to let go, so I held on until I was discovered~"

The Regent thought for a moment:
"Since you asked this, I think maybe the late emperor thought this was some kind of miracle that would benefit the fortune of the Great Zhou, so he saved me."

"..."

Qin Lang remained silent on this, but in his heart he felt that this might further confirm his guess.

The baby who clung to his swaddling clothes and survived the snowstorm...

Perhaps the late emperor saw from that moment on that the regent's unyielding will to survive that she had an "innate" perseverance that was beyond ordinary people.

Although the regent was still very young, he relied on his great determination and perseverance to develop skills comparable to Su Yupan, a martial arts genius of the same age. At this time, the late emperor was not far from death, so he secretly appointed Bai Qingqing as the regent.

A regent of this age is unique in history. After all, the regent's duty is to assist the young monarch in governing. If the regent is as young as the young monarch, what is the point of assisting?
But the late emperor still did it.

After that, the throne was passed to Su Yupan.

Finally, when the deposed crown prince caused trouble, Bai Qingqing began to officially appear in the court.

……

"The late emperor saved my life, and being the regent is the reward the late emperor asked of me."

"this…"

"This is what the late emperor meant. I met him no more than three times in my life, and not once was it face to face. Shortly before his death, he summoned me to an audience for the last time. He turned his back to me and told me in person what he wanted from me in return after all these years. There were three things in total. I didn't ask for success in any of them, but to do my best."

“Three things…”

"Um…"

Bai Qingqing finished her speech, looking at Gao Tian with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes. Finally, she stood up from Qin Lang's arms, looked into his eyes, and said word by word:

"One, get rid of the prince."

"Second, seize the throne."

"Three, seek immortality."
