Chapter 175 I'm Killed
Chapter 175 I'm Killed
The early morning sun shone into the room and the sound of birds singing woke up Prince An. He straightened his clothes and was about to leave when he saw Bai Lin bringing him a bowl of porridge.
Prince An was not polite and sat down to eat: "Wow, your chef's cooking skills are pretty good."
"I made it." Bai Lin replied calmly, "The cook was trained by Zhao Zhao to only make medicinal food. I prefer ordinary porridge."
An Shizi: ...I suspect you are showing off.
"Brother Bai, I think I'm suitable for some medicinal food."
"Oh, are you disgusted with my cooking so soon?"
"No...why would I dislike you..."
"Then you eat it!"
"……All right!"
After they had packed up, they walked out of the house and saw Bai Zhaozhao practicing martial arts in the small bamboo forest nearby. She suddenly staggered and almost fell down. It was obvious that she saw the two people out of the corner of her eye.
Bai Zhaozhao came over to say hello, then asked hesitantly, "You guys, are you all right?"
An Shizi nodded: "Yeah, it's good!"
Bai Lin had a blank expression on his face and glanced at An Shizi: "Zhao Zhao, did you have something to talk to me about last night?"
Bai Zhaozhao thought about it, agreed, glanced at An Shizi, and said, "I heard that Su Ling died suddenly because she missed her biological mother. What do you think about this?"
Bai Lin was confused. How could he watch it? How else could he watch it? Standing or sitting?
"I didn't notice..."
Prince An sensed something, "Do you want to know about her biological mother? Normally, since she died suddenly, the Rui Palace should investigate. It would be inappropriate to announce the death directly."
Bai Lin then remembered that Prince An and Su Ling had once been in love, but he seemed no different in the past few days and even discussed political affairs with him normally.
When Prince An saw Bai Lin's eyes, he couldn't help but sneer: "Why, Brother Bai, do you think I should be depressed and confused, drinking to drown my sorrows, and commemorate the friendship between her and me?"
Bai Lin's eyes flickered: "Not really... after all, it's all in the past."
Prince An said seriously, "Yes, it's all in the past! When I think about it now, I sometimes wonder why I was so persistent at the beginning. It's as if fate forced her to stay in my memory many years ago, just to meet me one day. I just didn't expect that something that seemed destined would have a turning point..."
After a pause, Prince An said to Bai Lin meaningfully: "Anyway, I am different now. I will be responsible for my next relationship!"
Bai Lin also had a hint of meaning: "Brother Tang, please take responsibility for me first and do what you promised to do for me."
Bai Zhaozhao pursed his lips and listened to their conversation, his imagination running wild. Responsible? Prince An is responsible for Bai Lin? Ah, who in the family understands this! I am so shocked!
Then Shizi An sighed. He knew that Bai Lin would not give in easily. It seemed that the relationship between him and Bai Zhaozhao was quite difficult.
"Oh, Zhao Zhao, I heard about Su Ling's biological mother when I was little. It is said that she was an orphan rescued by Uncle Rui when he was still alive. She was raised in a separate courtyard and rarely went out. She hardly saw anyone. Princess Rui generously offered to take her back to the palace several times, but Uncle Rui refused every time."
Bai Zhaozhao blinked: "Are you refusing to protect her?"
An Shizi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe, but the reason I remember it is because I heard that the woman was disfigured!"
"Disfigured?" Bai Zhaozhao asked in surprise.
"That's right! There was a rumor at that time that Uncle Rui would rather like a disfigured woman than Princess Rui, so Princess Rui was very taboo about this woman, and no one mentioned her again after she died of dystocia. I also heard about it by chance, but I really didn't expect that Su Ling was actually the child of that woman."
Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Thank you very much, brother! I'm just curious and just asking."
Prince An smiled and said, "Okay, you can ask whatever you want, and I will tell you whatever you want. And I haven't finished yet. I heard that the woman was born in the Ye family, a family that even the late emperor was afraid of. But now this family has returned to dust. Alas, the world is full of vicissitudes and changes!"
Bai Zhaozhao was slightly touched. Such a secret might only be mentioned and told to her by the royal family.
"Brother, come drink again next time. I'll make you the snacks I just researched!"
"Great!" Prince An was overjoyed.
Bai Lin said calmly: "He said that he is more suitable for eating medicinal food."
An Shizi: ...
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly realized: "That's fine too!"
An Shizi immediately retorted: "No, no, no, I prefer snacks."
Bai Lin gave him an ambiguous look: "No, you don't like it!"
"Brother Bai, I really like this!"
"Are you sure you like it?"
"Of course I'm sure!"
Bai Zhaozhao touched her heartbeat, she seemed a little redundant: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Prince An suddenly laughed and said, "Don't you think Zhao Zhao looks at me differently?"
Bai Lin frowned and said, "You are wrong."
"is it?"
"Yes!"
……
As the Xu family was currently suffering setbacks, the Qin Party was dormant, and Prince An left the capital, the court was relatively calm in the following days. If there was anything outstanding, it was that Bai Lin did a few good jobs and won the emperor's praise, but he did not become arrogant. Instead, he asked for credit for the people around him one by one. In this way, the emperor did not promote him, but rewarded him according to the rules. For a time, everyone was happy.
Another thing is that Bai Hao has been somewhat excluded since he was promoted. Instead of backing down, he arranged for a guard to pretend to be dissatisfied and challenge him to a fight. After he knocked the guard down, the person who was really dissatisfied jumped out. So Bai Hao no longer hid his weakness and won 18 fights in a row, becoming famous in the Yulin Guard.
This even alarmed several experts in the Imperial Guards, who were considering transferring him to the Imperial Guards. However, Li Rongyue refused, saying that Bai Hao's temperament still needed some training.
Bai Hao felt a little regretful after hearing the news. The Imperial Guards were the backbone of the imperial palace protection force and were filled with experts.
The Yulin Guard is different. Their main responsibility is to protect the safety of royal family members, especially during celebrations. Although they are also responsible for patrolling and arresting criminals around the palace, most of their tasks are just for show and they have few chances to stand out.
The reason why it is a place where many noble children want to gild themselves is because they can come into contact with many royal people and it is easy to make connections.
Of course, Jingzhao Yin would borrow some people from time to time, such as the last time Bai Hao and Lin Anhe went to catch thieves. However, this kind of job is mostly thankless and can only be regarded as assisting. It does not count as your own credit. At most, Jingzhao Yin will praise you.
Then, when the news came that Bai Hao had good martial arts skills, this kind of cooperation was assigned to him, with the excuse of getting more training!
Lin Anhe was quite loyal and immediately expressed his willingness to take on such a task together with Bai Hao. Naturally, his superior agreed. After all, the opportunities to come into contact with members of the royal family were limited, so it was good to be able to make room for him.
