Chapter 267 Nangong Min confessed his love
The prefect settled several people and left, but there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
Li Dong was kept by Bai Zongren, saying that he wanted to reminisce about the past.
After the servants left, Li Dong talked about his own affairs.
"Oh! This is a long story.
I was originally the Emperor's spy, and my official identity was the chief of the Jingzhao Yin's envoys. I was escorting you to Qianxi under the Emperor's secret order, which was already a great achievement."
Bai Li also pricked up her ears and listened carefully. At that time, she was in the mountains of Qianxi and accidentally discovered a spy. Who knew that the spy involved Li Rong, who was Li Dong's cousin. They were escorted to Qianxi together to escort exiled prisoners. They were arrested together at that time. Bai Li did not ask about what happened afterwards.
"I was implicated by Li Rong and lost my official position.
Fortunately, the emperor showed mercy and ordered a thorough investigation of the spies. After finding out that I was not involved, I was cleared of the charges.
However, I was not able to pursue a career in government because of this, so a friend invited me to visit Weinan and see if I could start a business to make a living.
Several people looked as if they had realized it. Bai Li grasped the key point: "Are you saying that the Emperor specifically asked you to escort us to Qianxi?"
"Yes, that's why I gave you a lot of conveniences along the way, otherwise... hehe!"
Bai Li nodded, and then she understood. No wonder Li Dong always gave her face and treated her family differently.
At the time, she thought she had earned extra care because she had impressed the escort officers with her own abilities. Who knew it was all arranged by the Emperor?
"It turns out that I really misunderstood the Emperor!"
Bai Li couldn't help but mutter to herself. Bai Zongren, who was sitting next to her, responded, "The King of Wei was too powerful at the time, and this treasure was the key to the Emperor's resurgence. It couldn't be lost, so he ordered us to go treasure hunting under different identities."
It was not until this time that Bai Li's grudge against the emperor was resolved.
Although she had led troops to fight against the enemy for the sake of her country, she still had resentment towards the emperor in her heart.
Blame him for not being able to distinguish right from wrong, wrongly accusing his father, and causing the Bai family to be confiscated and exiled.
Now that I know the whole story, I understand that the emperor had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
The situation at that time was tense. If King Wei gained power, the Great Zhou would inevitably experience a catastrophe, with turmoil in the court and the people displaced. If the enemy took advantage of the situation, the Great Zhou would be destroyed!
After realizing how serious this was, Bai Li broke out in a cold sweat.
She now deeply felt that being a good emperor was really not easy!
In the current situation, we must first put the country first. Every decision we make and every step we take must be carefully considered before we act, otherwise we will become slaves of a conquered country in a matter of minutes.
"Li'er, you didn't believe me when Dad told you before. You thought I was trying to excuse the Emperor. Now you should finally believe me, right?"
"I believe it! Dad, I didn't understand how serious it was at that time, and you still blamed me!"
"Okay, okay, Dad won't scold you anymore!"
Seeing that his daughter had cleared up her misunderstanding of the emperor, Bai Zongren felt relieved and smiled heartily.
Bai Li looked to the side. Nangong Min must have also received a secret letter from the emperor, asking him to take special care of her Bai family, right?
Otherwise, they would not have been able to live so happily after arriving in Qianxi.
I didn't see the prisoners who arrived in Qianxi together. They were all assigned to do the most arduous work, such as mining and feeding livestock, which were the dirtiest and most tiring jobs. The corrupt official who was originally fat and white had been there for less than a month and looked more like a refugee than a refugee.
Nangong Min chatted with Li Dong for a while, mainly thanking Li Dong for saving Bai Li.
"You don't need to thank me. Look, Princess Donghu doesn't need my help at all. She can save herself."
Not only did he save himself, he almost killed the King of Jin.
Li Dong thought that he was unworthy of this credit.
"No, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have written to you asking for advice. If I hadn't written to you asking for advice, I wouldn't have known that bloodletting could cure poison.
If I couldn't detoxify myself, I would have lost my mind and not known who I was. I would have been taken away by now!"
Bai Li spoke the truth sincerely, and several people were frightened after hearing it.
Fortunately, at the last moment Bai Li realized that bloodletting could detoxify, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nangong Min's emotions fluctuated the most. Listening to the two people talking, his heart was like a roller coaster, sometimes soaring to the clouds and sometimes falling to the bottom of the valley.
Fortunately, fortunately, his Li'er was not harmed by the beast-like King Jin, otherwise he would have to cut him into pieces and cut him into pieces to vent his hatred.
Bai Li sensed his change in mood and gave him a reassuring look.
Nangong Min felt relieved, and his tense expression finally relaxed. He smiled back at Bai Li.
No matter how thick-skinned Li Dong was, he could still notice the exchange of glances between the two. Bai Zongren really wanted to cover his eyes.
Don’t look at or listen to anything inappropriate. Young people don’t understand their world, so don’t disturb them.
However, Nangong Min owes him an explanation as a father. If he doesn't know the etiquette, he can do whatever he wants to his daughter and see how he punishes him!
Bai Zongren pulled Li Dong away quietly, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Nangong Min's eyes lit up and he stared at Bai Li without blinking, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
"You, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Is there something on my face?"
In his two lives, Bai Li had never experienced such a heartbeat like a drum, his face suddenly flushed, and his blood was overflowing.
She is lively and outgoing, and at this moment she is like a young girl in love. She is so shy that she can't even speak fluently.
"Li'er, I think you understood my feelings when we held hands before. But you..."
"But it doesn't matter. Now I'm telling you clearly that I, Nangong Min, am attracted to you and want to propose to you. I wonder...what do you think of me?"
Nangong Min stared at Bai Li's eyes closely, and his voice gradually became quieter and quieter, until it was almost as loud as a mosquito's buzz.
Bai Li was shocked. Was his love confessed to her?
Namgoong Min...is confessing his love to her!
She calmed her throbbing heart and thought seriously about the reality.
Since she came here, she knew that she could not go back. In the apocalypse, her body might have been eaten by zombies. Would she go back and become a ghost?
When she first came here, she recognized the reality and accepted it.
Since you are here, you should make the best of it. It would be best if you can live a stable and happy life.
If you can't, just continue to lead the troops and maintain the stability of your country.
Ever since she divorced Zhao Yuntian, she had never thought of finding an ancient man to marry and have children with.
The ancients valued a woman's reputation. For a woman like her who was divorced, it was difficult for her to arrange a marriage. She couldn't get a high-ranking marriage, and she didn't want to compromise herself by choosing a low-ranking marriage.
Moreover, she could not accept a man taking a concubine.
Based on these two points alone, she knew that it would be difficult for her to find someone in her life.
She just wants to live a good life with her parents and family, and doesn't dare to dream of anything else.
But now, someone confessed to her.
Just like men and women falling in love in later generations, without talking about family background or reputation, he simply confessed his feelings to her because he liked her and wanted to marry her. It would be a lie if she said she was not moved.
