Chapter 587 Maybe I can save you too
Bai Zhi was obviously startled.
Zuo Jiali continued angrily, "As long as you live, there is hope, there is a chance of recovery. Death... death means there is nothing left..."
He looked at the ground with sad eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Bai Zhi understood instantly that Zuo Jiali had found his brother, and Zuo Sixian had not been convicted at the time, so he chose to commit suicide. This incident must have left a shadow in Zuo Jiali's heart.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant." She said apologetically immediately.
Zuo Jiali came back to his senses, realizing that he had lost his composure a little. He immediately shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just had a bad attitude. But Sister Baizhi, I hope you can live well."
He said sincerely, "You are a good person. You should not be trapped in the palace, and you should not die under Shangguan Jinglan's knife."
"But..." Bai Zhi shook her head gently, "Even if I can escape today, what about the future? If the mother of a country wants to kill me, is it possible for me to survive? Impossible."
"Sister Baizhi, go back to Dongchu!" Zuo Jiali grabbed her shoulders and forced her to calm down. "Sister Baizhi, the Bai family army will enter Dongchu later. I will greet the Second Young Master Bai. You go back first and wait at Tian'en Temple in Dongchu. Trust me."
Bai Zhi looked at him with trembling eyes, "Why...why did you help me? If the Queen knew...it was you who saved me, you..."
"Don't worry, she won't know. And even if she does, she can't do anything to me." Zuo Jiali was full of confidence. "The harem of the Great Jin Dynasty... is about to change."
Bai Zhi vaguely understood what he meant. Yuan Xiaonian's mission to Dongchu this time was a complete victory. If before, he was just the second prince who came out of the cold palace, then now, he really has the ability to compete with Yuan Huaihong. What's more, Yuan Huaihong has never had much ambition for that position.
"Sister Baizhi, please believe me and go back to Dongchu!" Zuo Jiali nodded vigorously.
"Then..." Bai Zhi's cheeks flushed. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, she asked cautiously, "Will you...come to Dongchu to see me in the future?"
"Of course." Zuo Jiali agreed immediately, "My connection with the Bai family...I'm afraid it's hard to explain. I promise you that I will definitely go to Dongchu to see you in the future."
"Okay!" Bai Zhi felt like her heart, which had been dead for several days, had finally come back to life. She grabbed Zuo Jiali's hand and said happily, "Then I'll wait for you!"
"Yes!" Zuo Jiali nodded, "You can leave now!"
Bai Zhi stepped forward and gave Zuo Jiali a tight hug before turning around and disappearing into the night.
Zuo Jiali looked at the direction she left and chuckled. Then, he looked at the stars in the sky and said with a smile, "Brother, did you see that? I saved someone. How was it?"
Then, he lowered his head again and walked back silently, muttering, "If you hadn't died back then, maybe... I could have saved you."
——
Yuan Xiaonian's return indeed brought about earth-shaking changes in the Jin Dynasty court and the entire harem.
Emperor Yuan Tianchen of Jin praised his performance during his trip to Dongchu in the court, and he was extremely satisfied with sending troops into Dongchu.
"The Bai family army's entry into Dongchu is no different from handing Dongchu over to the Jin Dynasty?" Yuan Tianchen said loudly in the court.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. This is also what I thought when I agreed to this condition." Yuan Xiaonian said respectfully. In fact, Prince Zi Tong must also know how dangerous it is to let foreign troops enter his country, especially an army of the level of the Bai Family Army, but Zi Tong had no choice.
If the Bai family army comes, he still has a chance of survival. He can only try his best and take a gamble.
Yuan Xiaonian was named King of Yong and granted thousands of acres of land, and Concubine Jing was promoted to Princess Jing.
In addition, all the accompanying personnel of Dong Chu were rewarded handsomely.
Bai Yu'an was appointed as the brave general. Because of Fuxing's death, he no longer needed to be the imperial advisor. Yuan Tianchen also allowed him to be stationed in Dongchu, and he went to Dongchu a month later.
Li Suining became the only princess of the Jin Dynasty, and naturally a princess of a different surname. Princess Suining will receive the same salary and awards as the princes in the future, and she will receive the highest level of courtesy when she gets married in the future.
As for Xiao Jingwen and several members of his guard team, they also received a lot of benefits.
After returning home from the palace, the Zhenbei Palace was already decorated with lights and the other brothers had already gone back to wait.
As soon as Bai Yu'an got off the horse, the fourth and fifth brothers came over to join in the fun.
"Meet the brave general!"
"Greetings, General!"
"Get lost!" Bai Yu'an kicked the two men impatiently, then walked up to Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu and immediately knelt down. "Unfilial son Bai Yu'an greets father and mother. I'm sorry for making them worry."
Little Tuanzi followed him and knelt down as well, "I'm sorry that you, the unfilial daughter Li Suining, have made our parents worry."
"Silly girl, you're learning that?" Bai Yunfeng missed his daughter so much. After three or four months of separation, he quickly picked up the little girl and weighed her in his arms. "She's okay, not thin at all."
Li Suining hugged Bai Yunfeng's neck and acted coquettishly, "My daughter misses her father too. I have a good meal every day in the Dongchu Palace."
"So good!" Bai Yunfeng carried Li Suining inside. Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu were clinging to his legs, asking for their sister. He had no choice but to put Li Suining down again. "Alright, both of you come with me, no matter how old you are."
Bai Yian and Bai Yimian immediately took Li Suining's hands, one on each side, and asked Li Suining to tell them interesting stories about Dongchu.
At the back of the crowd, Wei Ranzhu whispered to Bai Yu'an, "Have Fuxing's funeral arrangements been completed?"
After everyone came back, Bai Yu'an and Li Suining followed Yuan Xiaonian into the palace first, while the other brothers went home directly, so Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu already knew what happened in Dongchu.
Bai Yu'an nodded. "Well, I've placed her in Tian'en Temple, the best temple in Dongchu. It's quiet and peaceful there, and she should like it."
After hearing this, it was as if Fuxing was still alive.
Wei Ranzhu knew that her son was feeling bad. In fact, she felt bad too. She hadn't expected that the girl could do so much for the second son and the Bai family.
She patted Bai Yu'an's shoulder gently and said, "Okay, you will go to Dongchu in a month, right?"
"Yeah." Bai Yu'an nodded.
"When the time comes, say hello to that child on behalf of your father and me." Wei Ranzhu gently wiped away her tears.
After entering the house, the family was extremely lively. This trip to Dongchu was really exciting. Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu listened very attentively.
It was late at night, and Li Suining, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu were all asleep. Wei Ranzhu sent someone to take them away, and specifically instructed that Li Suining be taken to her room.
After most people had left, Bai Yunfeng sighed and looked towards the direction of the palace and said, "I wonder how many people will never be able to sleep tonight."
