For the next seven days, Jiang Baiqu stayed in the palace. Although Jiang Baiqu was never late for court, he always went in a hurry. Although it didn't affect the government affairs, it made the ministers complain.
"Hey, censor, what are you so anxious about? His Majesty is coming.”Chi Wei smiled and said to a man who looked to be in his forties.
The censor sighed,"Your Majesty is not late, but in the long run, the government will be abolished."”
Chi Wei smiled again and said quietly," Duke Liang, there's no need to do this. When His Majesty comes, it's better to do as usual. After all, this is His Majesty's private matter. As officials, how can we interfere?"”
Censor Liang Wenzheng's goatee trembled for a moment before he smiled coldly and said,""Marshal Chi, if Your Majesty is like this, I am willing to sacrifice my old bones.”
Chi Wei was startled when he heard that. He frowned and said in a low voice,"Duke Liang, what are you talking about? The Imperial Court needs you in many ways.”
Liang Wenzheng was a little puzzled. His integrity made him more like a pure scholar in his career. Or rather, he was wearing the hat of an imperial censor and doing what many scholars did.
"Marshal Chi?" Liang Wenzheng was puzzled and asked, but Chi Wei beat him to it,""Duke Liang, there are many things that only need someone to put in the effort.”
Liang Wenzheng nodded his head in a half-understanding manner.
Gongshu Wen stood there without a care. He closed his eyes and listened to all kinds of criticism in the hall. Then, he smiled and said nothing.
After Bai Qu left the court, he naturally went to the Divine Wind Palace. At this time, Fei Xu also wanted to find Bai Qu. She did not go to the Chongguang Palace, but went to the Divine Wind Palace first. When Fei Xu arrived, Yi Shuimei was very happy. In this huge palace, Fei Xu gave her the feeling that she was like a family member.
It was different from Yan Jin's forgiveness for love and Bai Qu's persistence for love. Fei Xu and Shui Mei made her feel an indescribable friendship between the two of them. At that time, when she opened her mouth to stop the guards who were attacking Merlin, when she was comforting her, she vaguely felt that Fei Xu was more like an elder sister. Of course, Fei Xu was actually two years older than Shui Mei. In addition to her twenty years of palace life, her heart and ambition were so firm.
"Feixu, I miss you so much." When Shui Mei saw Fei Xu, she put down the things in her hands and stood up to welcome her. Han Yue also followed and bowed with a smile,"Long live the princess."
Fei Xu raised her hand to dismiss Han Yue, then said to Shui Mei,"Shuimei."
Shui Mei smiled. She pulled Fei Xu over. Fei Xu was startled, but then she also smiled. It was Shui Mei who said first,"Feixu came to look for me today because the drunkard's intentions are not in the bar?”
Fei Xu laughed loudly and said like a man,""Shui Mei is indeed straightforward. Not bad, I just want to tell Imperial Brother about a family matter. After thinking about it…"
"After thinking about it, do you think it's more appropriate to intercept him at my place?”Shui Mei's voice was joking and faint. Fei Xu chuckled and nodded.
Shui Mei smiled and said,"I like your personality, Fei Xu."”Then, he pulled her to sit down. Han Yue served tea and Shui Mei said,"Let's chat first. Bai Qu will be here soon.”
Fei Xu smiled and did not refuse. The two of them were like long-lost friends.
"Shui Mei, do you know that all the officials in the court are angry at you?”Fei Xu said seriously.
Shui Mei was shocked by his words and hurriedly replied,"Ah?"
Fei Xu saw Shui Mei's helpless look and smiled,"Yeah, seven nights in a row in the Chenxiao Palace, it's a good story!”When she said this, she couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed loudly.
Shui Mei regained her senses and understood Fei Xu's meaning. She was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she was thinking in her heart,"Wouldn't this be bad for Bai Qu?”Her heart was already filled with sorrow.
From time to time, Fei Xu would ask Shui Mei some secrets to tease her. It made Shui Mei sometimes coquettish and sometimes angry.
About ten minutes later, Bai Qu really came.
The sleeves of Bai Qu's long robe fluttered like the wings of a goshawk flying across the empty sky. Jiang Baiqu was a little tired, but his spirit was strong. Perhaps he was a little tired. However, his smile was still sincere.
His smile was still like the spring breeze in April, always carrying warmth. Jiang Baiqu saw Fei Xu sitting by the bank of the river from afar and said with a smile,"Ha, Feixu, you're here too?"
Fei Xu smiled and said nothing.
Bai Qu smiled." The Dawn Palace is really an extraordinary place where dragons and phoenixes gather. Shui Mei is not an ordinary person either. First, it was Yan 'er, and now it's Fei Xu."”He was originally joking, but what he said was the truth. Yi Shuimei indeed had a unique charm that attracted these people who were not used by the public.
Fei Xu smiled and said," Imperial Brother, let's not talk about these things for now. I just have something that I want to say quickly. Then, I won't disturb you anymore."”When Fei Xu finished speaking, she did not forget to look at Shui Mei and Bai Qu meaningfully.
Shui Mei smiled and said,"I'd better go back for a while."”She wondered if there was something she shouldn't listen to, so she turned around to leave. However, Fei Xu hesitated for a moment and said,"Shuimei, this is nothing.”
Bai Qu noticed that Fei Xu's expression was a little strange, but he thought that since she left Shui Mei behind, there must be a reason. He smiled and said,""Feixu, speak. There are no outsiders here."
Fei Xu nodded and looked at Bai Qu seriously.""Imperial brother, it's late winter.”
Fei Xu only said 'sister' and it was so simple, but Jiang Baiqu knew that Ruins wanted him to bring Bai Yi back. Yes, they had all seen Bai Yi's poor life. He now had the ability to give his sister a very stable life and didn't have to go against her wishes.
Bai Qu pondered and did not speak. Yi Shuimei asked softly,""Feixu, you have a sister?”
Fei Xu nodded and looked at Bai Qu's frowning expression. She was hesitating whether to say it or not when Bai Qu sighed and said,""Yes, I have a younger sister called Jiang Baiyi. I think you should meet her.”
Shui Mei was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Baiqu say," Because she has saved your life twice…" Jiang Baiqu's words carried a trace of a subtle aura. It was unknown who he was lamenting about.
Shui Mei smiled. Her smile was very faint as she said,"I'll listen to you. I want to see her too."
Fei Xu smiled when she heard this. Her smile returned to her usual forthright manner. This had always been a worry in her heart. Now, it was as if she had obtained a panacea and was dispelled.
Bai Qu looked at Fei Xu and whispered,""I do owe Ah Yi a lot. Let's go.”
Bai Yi Medical Hall's signboard was still on the street, whistling against the north wind. The streets in the winter were a little lonely. Bai Qu, Fei Xu, Shui Mei, and the others were once again eye-catching. However, it was different from that night when no one was around. There were not only a few pedestrians, but Bai Qu was smiling. His smile seemed to be a kind of expectation, strong and hot, enough to melt the cold winter air. Fei Xu also couldn't suppress her joy, but Shui Mei also wanted to see this woman.
Fei Xu quickly walked to the door and knocked lightly. Her slender fingers touched the simple wooden door. In an instant, she was so eager to push it open. The door was still half-closed. Why?
Knock, knock, no one answered.
"Bai Yi?" Bai Qu was puzzled. He called out softly, but no one answered. Fei Xu knocked on the door, but the door was pushed open…It was a crack, but the light that passed through the crack was so dazzling. A white sleeve was on the ground. Fei Xu could not wait any longer. She pushed the door open and entered, only to hear the sound of a few steps. Then, it was so quiet, like dead ashes.
Fei Xu's smile froze at the corner of her mouth and turned into a mockery of herself. He was late.
Jiang Baiqu came in, his heart aching. Yi Shuimei came in later and could not help but want to shout. Then, she immediately suppressed the fear in her heart and opened her mouth, but she was powerless to speak.
Bai Yi lay on the ground between the inner and outer rooms. Her pale face was no different from when she was alive. She turned to the side and a hand stretched out strangely. It was on the ground and seemed to be pointing at a person in the distance. However, there was nothing in the direction of her finger. There was only an empty house. And these three people who were alive but dull.
In her other hand, she was holding a scroll. It was not very big, but it looked like a hand scroll. It had lost its color. She seemed to be holding it very hard because the bones of her right hand were already white and clear.
Bai Yi was smiling. She was still smiling when she died. Her smile was very shallow, just a little curled up. Or rather, she did not want to smile, but seemed to be relieved.
There were no wounds or blood. There was no chilling scene. Her death seemed to be within her expectations. It was peaceful and even inexplicable. It was as if everything would become a sealed mystery with her death.
Other than being stained with mud, her white clothes were still as clean as snow, without a speck of dust or stain. Just like her heart.
Her eyes were half-closed, but her expression was still gentle. A layer of frost had already condensed on her eyelashes, and it was unknown whether it was her vision or theirs that was clouding it.
Yes, she had to admit that she had left. They were too late.
She was like a Buddha who cared for all living beings. She was relieved and enlightened before she died. There was no regret or panic. However, she only left this pain to others. However, there was nothing she could do. She knew that they would come...
