Chapter 496 We Can’t Use Our Sister for Our Own Selfish Motives
"Wenren Li is dead." Bai Qing'an said helplessly.
"Where is Miss Fuxing?" Bai Yu'an asked anxiously.
Xiao Wu moved his wheelchair and followed behind the two of them. Hearing this, he looked at Bai Yu'an helplessly.
Bai Qingan continued, "Fuxing's life is saved, but..."
Bai Yu'an became nervous instantly.
"The Queen Mother poisoned her and made her mute." Bai Qing'an said and shook his head helplessly.
"What?" Bai Yu'an's face changed instantly, and he opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a while.
Xiao Wu, who was behind, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the queen would be so hateful.
Bai Qing'an recalled the situation at that time, "Actually, we arrived in time. When we rushed in, Miss Fuxing hadn't drunk the poisoned wine yet, but when the Queen saw us coming, she immediately asked her maid to pour it down..."
He paused, looking somewhat annoyed and puzzled, "If Fuxing had struggled a little at that time, none of this would have happened."
He looked at Bai Yu'an, then at Xiao Wu, "I don't know why, but I always feel...that she drank that poisoned wine on purpose."
"Intentionally?" Xiao Wu finally spoke, "Why? Do you want our Bai family to owe her?"
"Third brother!" Bai Yu'an turned around and glared at him. "Things have already come to this. If it weren't for Miss Fuxing's help this time, I don't know what would have happened. Why are you still speculating about her so much?"
Xiao Wu's face was cold. "Anyway, I still think that this Fuxing is not a good person. Even if Dad is really sentenced, she is one of the culprits. I won't be grateful to her for letting us go."
"Third brother, you..." Bai Yu'an was obviously a little angry.
"Okay, second brother, third brother, stop arguing." Bai Qing'an was in a dilemma. "Anyway, things have already happened. If Miss Fuxing really has any needs for our family in the future, we will naturally satisfy them. But if not, then..."
He looked at Bai Yu'an, "We really shouldn't have any contact with her anymore."
Bai Yu'an lowered his head and said nothing, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Also, we should be more worried about something else right now," Bai Qing'an looked at the two of them and said helplessly, "Just now, after the Queen left, the Crown Prince said... he wanted to leave the palace."
"Leaving the palace?" Xiao Wu was obviously more interested in this matter. "Where to?"
Bai Qing'an shook his head. "He only said that he was going to a place where no one could find him, and that... before he left, he would find an heir."
"Heir?" Xiao Wu's expression was even more surprised.
Bai Qing'an nodded. "Yes, the Crown Prince feels that the Queen has done too many wrong things for him. Only if he leaves will the Queen stop. However, all this requires someone who can stop the Queen. Who do you think this person could be?"
Xiao Wu suddenly sneered, "Shangguan Jinglan has schemed so hard to get to this point. If she knew the Crown Prince was thinking this way, I wonder if she would be furious to death?"
"Could the Crown Prince choose the Second Prince?" Bai Yu'an asked tentatively, "When we stopped Zuo Sixian's assassination that day, the Second Prince took an arrow for the Crown Prince. I heard them talking about giving up the throne of the Crown Prince."
Bai Qingan nodded in understanding, "I also think this is possible. If this is true, should we... take some countermeasures?"
"Don't be impatient yet." Xiao Wu felt something was amiss. "It's still uncertain whether the Crown Prince can leave, but if we approach the Second Prince now, I'm afraid it will immediately incur Shangguan Jinglan's displeasure."
Bai Yu'an also thought it made sense. "There are so many people in the court trying their best to enter the Eastern Palace. It's not easy. As the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, it's not that easy for Yuan Huaihong to leave."
"Should we ask my sister?" Bai Qing'an suddenly suggested, "Of course, I know we shouldn't borrow your ability, but... this matter concerns the future of our family after all. Should we make an exception and ask my sister?"
For a moment, Bai Yu'an and Xiao Wu were obviously hesitant.
It is one thing for Li Suining to use his stargazing skills to rescue them when they are in trouble, but it is another thing for them to take the initiative to let Li Suining observe the future, especially the future of the entire Dajin.
Obviously, for a while, they were unable to overcome the hurdle in their hearts and did not want to become the ones who took advantage of Li Suining.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything. Let's think of a solution ourselves first." Bai Qing'an was the first to take back his words.
Bai Yu'an and Xiao Wu looked at each other without saying a word, which was considered as agreement.
Bai Qingan yawned and said, "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep for a while."
"Okay." Bai Yu'an nodded, and suddenly pulled Bai Qing'an to ask, "By the way, big brother, how did you get into the palace in the middle of the night last night?"
Bai Qingan smiled and said, "Why can't I get in? Don't forget, our General's Mansion has a princess who can enter and leave the palace at will."
Bai Yuan understood, slapped his forehead, and said in annoyance, "Yeah, I actually forgot about this."
"Okay, big brother, go to bed." He watched Bai Qingan walk away.
Xiao Wu suddenly spoke coldly from the side, "Second brother, are you planning to go to the palace to see that lucky girl?"
Bai Yu'an didn't say anything, neither denying nor admitting.
Xiao Wu continued, "I advise you, second brother, to think it over carefully. My sister's status as a princess and her ability to observe the stars are, to put it bluntly, the same. We shouldn't use them for selfish reasons. What do you think, second brother?"
"It's none of your business!" Bai Yu'an was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around and left angrily.
Xiao Wu shook his head behind him, and soon he also went to get busy. He called Qingyun and asked the people from Feiyun Sect in the palace to pay more attention to the movements of the crown prince and the second prince.
If he couldn't make use of his sister's stargazing skills, he would have to get some information earlier and make preparations in advance.
Li Suining slept until the afternoon. When she finally woke up, she saw Bai Yu'an standing beside her.
"Second brother!" Before her eyes were fully opened, she subconsciously stretched out her little arms and asked for a hug.
Bai Yu'an picked up the dumpling. Li Suining was five years old now and was obviously much heavier than before. He didn't know how many more years he could hold her. When he thought that the little one would grow up to be a big girl and marry into another family, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.
"Are you hungry, sister?" he asked gently.
"Yeah, a little bit." The little dumpling spoke in a sweet voice like a little kitten, so cute.
"It's just right. Second brother just cooked some sweet porridge. Can I feed it to you?" Bai Yu'an sat down at the table holding the little dumpling, lifted a plate, and underneath was a bowl of fragrant sweet porridge.
Li Suining immediately wrinkled her nose greedily, "Thank you, second brother!"
Bai Yu'an fed her one spoonful at a time.
