Chapter 321 The imprisoned person cannot be the emperor
"I don't want it!" Huo Linger took a step back and stood next to Bai Kou.
She looked at Bai Zhi angrily and said, "I won't go with you. Go on your own. I don't like you anymore."
"Princess!" Bai Zhi couldn't help but get anxious. "Are you going to stay with these liars? Have you forgotten how they deceived you?"
"You lied to me too," Huo Ling'er's eyes turned red, "and you still don't know your mistake and still think you are right."
"..." Bai Zhi looked distressed, "Princess, please believe me, don't go against the Barbarian Emperor, otherwise..."
"Everything you said is wrong." Huo Ling'er wiped away her tears vigorously. "When my father was alive, he said that these northern barbarians never belonged to the royal family, let alone to him."
Thinking of the Fire Seal, Huo Ling'er couldn't stop crying. "This Northern Barbarian belongs to all of our people."
After hearing Huo Linger's words, Bai Zhi stood there in a daze.
At this time, not only Bai Zhi, but also Bai Yu'an, Yun Tiankuo and others were a little surprised. They didn't expect Huo Xi to be such a good monarch. It's a pity...
Bai Yu'an clearly remembered the battle between the Northern Barbarians and the Great Jin many years ago. After the Northern Barbarians lost, there had been no more wars and the people lived in peace.
But... after Huo Xi died, Huo Yan succeeded to the throne and immediately launched a war here. Even after being defeated, he did not hesitate to cede two cities and abandoned the northern barbarians in the city.
This is the difference. A good monarch will try his best to make his people rich and healthy, while an unqualified monarch will only put himself above the people and do everything for himself.
"Princess!" Bai Zhi seemed unwilling to give up and called out to Huo Linger again.
"Go away, I don't want to see you again." Huo Linger turned around and faced Bai Zhi with her back.
She pretended not to care, but was secretly wiping away her tears.
She lost her mother when she was young, and Bai Kou and Bai Zhi were by her side. They both took on half of the mother's responsibilities and roles.
So, how could she not be sad at this time?
Bai Zhi sighed softly, glanced at Bai Kou, and then shook her head helplessly, "Okay, I'll go."
"Then..." She sniffed emotionally, "Princess and sister, take care!"
She hung her head, dragged her feet, and walked slowly down the mountain.
Huo Linger had been paying attention to the movements. Only after she was sure that Bai Zhi had left did she finally turn her head and look at Bai Zhi's back. She couldn't help sobbing softly again.
"Princess," Bai Kou was reluctant, "How about I go and call her back?"
Huo Linger cried and shook her head, "No, she is a traitor, I don't want to keep a traitor around me."
"Princess sister, don't be sad." Seeing this, the little dumpling couldn't help but feel distressed, and stepped forward to comfort Huo Ling'er softly, "Sister Baizhi will figure it out. When she figures it out, she will definitely come back to find you and Sister Baikou."
Bai Kou nodded immediately, "Yes, she was just bewildered for a while. When she figured it out, she will come back on her own. Princess, don't be sad."
Huo Linger wiped her tears and tried hard to put on a smile.
She stared at the little ball in front of her, her light blue eyes like the blue sky washed by water.
After looking for a while, she reached out and took the little dumpling's hand.
"Princess sister?" The little dumpling's dark, watery eyes immediately looked over in surprise. "You...you are not angry with me anymore?"
Huo Linger shook her head. "I'm not angry anymore. Actually... from the beginning, I wasn't angry either. I was just... a little sad."
The little guy sniffed, "But I've figured it out. If you hadn't lied to me, we definitely wouldn't have become friends. And about your father, my enemy is your father, not you. I can't blame you for this, but..."
She paused before continuing, "If one day I have the chance, I will still kill Bai Yunfeng to avenge my father and aunt."
"My father didn't kill your father, let alone your aunt." You Zhu said angrily from the side.
Huo Linger looked over and after a while she gently corrected him, "That's your mother."
You Zhu's expression changed slightly.
"Princess Ling'er," Bai Yu'an stepped forward, his expression becoming more serious. "Now that things have come to this, there's no need for me to hide my identity any longer."
He introduced himself solemnly, "My name is Bai Yu'an, I am the second brother of Sui Ning and You Zhu, and also the second son of Bai Yunfeng."
"So that's how it is." Huo Linger nodded, not too surprised. After all, she knew Xiaotuanzi's identity, and she could guess that the person who had been protecting Xiaotuanzi must also be Bai Yunfeng's family member.
"Back then, I was there when your aunt, You Zhu's mother, participated in the war."
Although that war was the last thing Bai Yu'an wanted to recall, at this moment, he had to tell Huo Linger everything he knew.
After hearing this, Huo Linger's expression did change a little. She found it incredible.
"Could it be... that the emperor's uncle lied to me?" Huo Xi did not tell Huo Linger much about Huo Dai's death. He only told her that her aunt was a hero of the Northern Barbarians.
It was only recently, after Huo Xi's death, that Huo Yan told Huo Linger the so-called truth.
Huo Linger didn't expect that this was fake.
You Zhu immediately added, "So, Huo Yan might have lied to you about your father."
For a moment, Huo Linger felt helpless.
She no longer has any relatives. If Huo Yan really lied to her, then... what should she do?
What else could she do?
"There's one more thing," You Zhu thought of the man pretending to be crazy, "your uncle has imprisoned another man in the palace. I suspect... he's also a member of the royal family."
"Man?" Huo Linger obviously knew nothing about this matter.
The little girl nodded. "It's in a very secret place. Uncle Barbarian King always goes there alone, without even a guard. There's no one guarding there either. It's a pity that my sixth brother and I don't know that man."
"That man also refused to tell us who he was. It seemed..." You Zhu hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly, "It seemed like he didn't want to leave there either."
Huo Linger felt strange. In fact, just a moment ago, she even had a crazy idea.
Could the imprisoned man be her father?
But now, she felt it was impossible. After all, her father couldn't possibly not want to come out.
At this time, Bai Yu'an spoke again in confusion, "In fact, if Princess Ling'er's father was not killed by my father, then who killed him?"
He asked Huo Ling'er tentatively, "Princess Ling'er, can you tell me how your father died?"
Huo Ling'er hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Xiaotuanzi and Xiaozhuzi looking at her expectantly, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."
