Chapter 578 This behavior is really despicable
"I didn't intend to leave you in Dongchu. Of course you have to go back to Dajin."
Bai Yu'an thought for a moment before speaking slowly, "I just think you don't need to go back to the palace. Dajin is so big, you can go anywhere you want."
"What about you?" Fuxing almost blurted out this question, but after she finished speaking, she realized that she had asked a nonsense question.
Bai Yu'an has such a good home and family, of course he wants to go back and be with them.
What exactly is she asking?
Bai Yu'an did not answer, and Fuxing also felt that she was too ridiculous. She quickened her pace and chased Li Suining in front of her.
"Brother Zitong is so happy today." Li Suining changed into clean clothes and jumped up and down, looking very happy. "I think in all the time I have known him, he smiled the most and most sincerely today."
Fuxing curled the corners of his mouth. Unfortunately, for Zi Tong, everything was just a dream.
But if it is a beautiful dream, it is better to have it than not to have it.
Just like herself, she didn't even have dreams to reminisce about.
Fuxing felt that if Cao Huaping died with Zi Yunlai in the future, then Zi Tong would not know what they wanted to hide, which would be a good thing.
In Zi Tong's eyes, it was just that his mother loved his father more than him.
"But I think the Queen is not really happy." Unexpectedly, in the next sentence, Li Suining said a cruel truth. It was obvious that the little girl had a keen observation ability.
She raised her little head and asked, "Sister Fuxing, why do you think so? Isn't every mother happy to be with her children? Why is the Queen unhappy?"
Fuxing patted the little guy's head and said, "Don't think too much. The Queen may not be unhappy, but may have other things to do. As a mother... naturally wants to stay with the child."
"That's right! Maybe the Queen will be very happy next time when she plays with us." Xiao Suining quickly accepted Fuxing's explanation.
In the afternoon, Bai Yu'an took Li Suining to Tian'en Temple again.
After the two arrived, Li Suining noticed someone who shouldn't be here at first sight.
"Second Brother Zuo?" She had actually been worried about what happened to Zuo Jiali after Wei Changkong got into trouble, but she didn't expect that he was with the other brothers.
She ran over and threw herself into Zuo Jiali's arms.
"Brother, I'm fine." Zuo Jiali smiled awkwardly. He was more surprised than Li Suining that he would appear here.
He joined Shangguan Jinglan's Dongchu operation because he actually wanted to know Shangguan Jinglan's actions as soon as possible, so that he could easily reveal the information to Li Suining and others, or find a way to help them secretly.
Therefore, on the way from Dajin to Dongchu, and even after entering Dongchu, he made many obstacles for Shangguan Jinglan's people, both openly and covertly.
Later, he proposed to enter the General Wei's mansion, also to help Li Suining and others.
But no one expected that Wei Changkong would die so soon. On the day when the general's property was raided, Bai Shian found him and brought him here.
He had already told the Bai brothers everything he knew about Shangguan Jinglan, because he knew that when he was taken away by Bai Shian, Shangguan Jinglan's people must have known about it. If he went back, he would not be able to get any useful clues and would only walk into a trap.
"I feel relieved to see you here." Bai Yu'an said with a smile. He stepped forward and patted Zuo Jiali on the shoulder. "Thank you for reminding me about the celebration banquet."
That day, they already knew Wei Changkong's plan in advance, so when Zuo Jiali repeated the words in Tian'en Temple, they vaguely guessed that Zuo Jiali was giving them a reminder.
Fortunately, they realized that Zuo Jiali was a friend, not an enemy. Otherwise, if something happened to Wei Changkong, Shangguan Jinglan's people would only treat Zuo Jiali as a pawn. Once Zuo Jiali was captured, it would not be so easy for them to rescue him.
Everyone sat down and discussed their future plans together.
"The Second Prince should be setting off for Dajin in a few days. He..." Bai Yuan paused and continued, "He should have received the ten-year armistice agreement from Dongchu."
"A truce?" Xiao Wu frowned, clearly surprised. "The Emperor of Chu is dying, and with Wei Changkong dead, Eastern Chu is probably even more afraid of starting a war than Great Jin. Why does Yuan Xiaonian want this?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head and expressed his concerns, "To be honest, I really don't understand this Second Prince."
Xiao Wu thought about it and said with some disbelief, "He wants this contract, it's definitely not for Dong Chu's sake, so... there is only one possibility..."
He paused and continued, "He wants Dong Chu to let down his guard, and then attack Dong Chu when the time comes."
Several people nodded in unison, obviously thinking that this was a possibility.
"The Second Prince is truly scheming." Zuo Jiali couldn't help but praise him. Then, he said nonchalantly, "But it's nothing. We are the people of the Great Jin. The stronger the Great Jin becomes, the happier we should be."
"That's indeed the truth, but..." Big Brother Bai Qing'an sighed softly, "This kind of behavior... is really despicable."
"Boss Bai, please put away your compassionate heart," Zuo Jiali frowned speechlessly. "Your Bai family has been bullied by so many people because of these things. Don't you understand? Being strong is the only way to achieve success. Everything else is empty talk."
Bai Yu'an shook his head and patted Bai Qing'an on the shoulder. "Although Zuo Er's words are unpleasant, this is the fact. Besides, the game between countries is the business of their royal families. It's really not easy for us to get involved. I just... have been in contact with the people of the Dongchu royal family a lot, and I feel a little sympathetic towards them, and..."
Bai Yu'an glanced towards the courtyard. Li Suining was playing with the fourth, fifth, and sixth sons. "Don't mention this matter in front of them, in case my sister finds out. I have a good relationship with them now. If they find out, I will definitely stop them. I'm a little worried that the Second Prince won't go easy on me."
Several brothers nodded in understanding. This trip to Dongchu made them understand more about this prince from the cold palace. Perhaps Yuan Xiaonian was indeed more suitable to sit on the throne of Emperor Jin than Yuan Huaihong.
"By the way," Xiao Wu asked at this time, "Um... Fuxing, have you decided what to do? Should she... return to Dajin or stay in Dongchu?"
Bai Qingan immediately said, "In fact, it is safer for her to stay in Dongchu than to return to Dajin."
Bai Yu'an pursed his lips and was silent for a while before speaking, "There is one more thing. The Queen of Dongchu... is Fuxing's concubine."
"Isn't this even better?" Bai Qing'an couldn't help but feel happy for Fuxing. "The Emperor of Chu is a sentimental man. If Fuxing stays, he will definitely not treat her badly. This is a good thing."
Zuo Jiali also nodded repeatedly.
But Xiao Wu could see that Bai Yu'an was not happy.
