Chapter 1953: A ruthless person
Tang Bao was very surprised when she received Bai Shuqing's message.
In the past few years, she has not paid attention to Bai Shuqing's affairs.
She thought Bai Shuqing had left Dayanli long ago after getting married.
Bai Shuqing did not come alone, she was holding a child.
The child is a boy, about one year old.
He looks a little thin and doesn't seem to be in good health.
However, those green eyes were particularly eye-catching.
"This is my son. He was born prematurely and is a little weak. Please, Princess, take his pulse and see how to take care of him."
Bai Shuqing unceremoniously pushed his son in front of Tang Bao.
Tang Bao: “…”
Sure enough, it’s still the straightforward Bai Shuqing!
Tang Bao smiled soothingly and touched the child's head, then took out a pulse pillow and placed the child's wrist on it.
The child was quite obedient, not crying or making a fuss, staring at Tang Bao with big eyes.
Tang Bao placed her fingers on the child's wrist pulse.
"He has some congenital deficiencies, but they're not too serious. He can make up for them with gradual recuperation later on." After taking his pulse, Tang Bao said to Bai Shuqing, "I'll prescribe a pediatric medicated diet recipe for him. He can make it every few days."
After saying that, he didn't delay and directly prescribed a prescription for Bai Shuqing.
"I feel relieved with your words."
Bai Shuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
After saying that, he carefully put the recipe away.
Although the imperial physician in the palace had already examined her son, she was still worried about accidents.
She didn't trust the imperial physician.
Bai Shuqing handed the child to the maid and went out to play while she talked to Tang Bao.
"Is this... King Xiao's child?" Tang Bao asked tentatively.
Bai Shuqing: “…”
He just rolled his eyes at Tang Bao.
"Could it be someone else's?" Bai Shuqing said unhappily.
Tang Bao: “…”
Tang Bao touched his nose.
She was overthinking it.
The truth is that this child doesn't look much like King Xiao.
Bai Shuqing seemed to have guessed Tang Bao's thoughts and explained, "This child's appearance is more like his grandfather, while his father's appearance is mostly like his mother's."
After Bai Shuqing said this, Tang Bao understood.
"Why are you still in the capital?" Tang Bao asked curiously, "Where is King Xiao?"
It's no wonder she's out of touch with the news.
She had been away from Beijing for several years, and when she came back she was completely focused on raising supplies to support the border. How could she have the time and energy to inquire about other things?
When Bai Shuqing heard Tang Bao ask this, she looked at Tang Bao with a complicated expression.
"I thought of you as a friend, but it turns out I was just being overly enthusiastic." Bai Shuqing said indignantly, "You don't even know these things, which shows that you don't even think of me at all."
"Otherwise, if you just ask anyone, you won't ask such a question."
Bai Shuqing became more and more dissatisfied as he spoke.
Tang Bao: “…”
Tang Bao laughed dryly.
"I'm just too busy." Tang Bao said.
Bai Shuqing glanced at Tang Bao.
Then, he sighed and said, "For the past few years, the prince and I have been living in a villa outside Beijing. Our life is simple, but comfortable, except..."
Except that King Xiao occasionally felt unhappy and lost his temper.
But what else can a disabled prince do except lose his temper?
"You have never left the capital since you got married?" Tang Bao asked in surprise.
Bai Shuqing rolled his eyes at Tang Bao.
"Do you think the emperor will allow him to leave? Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will allow him to leave? Is it possible to let the tiger return to the mountains?" Bai Shuqing asked back.
Tang Bao: “…”
It seems impossible.
"I thought you would try every possible means to help King Xiao leave." Tang Bao said slowly.
For a love-brained person like Bai Shuqing, this is the most likely possibility.
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Bai Shuqing rolled her eyes at Tang Bao again.
"Am I that stupid?" Bai Shuqing said unconvincedly, "You underestimate me too much! If I stay in the capital, I will be his princess, the only woman by his side. He belongs to me alone! If I return to Northern Qi, what will I be?"
When Bai Shuqing said this, a hint of loneliness suddenly flashed across his face.
Then, he cheered up again and continued arrogantly, "If he liked me, he could protect me, but he doesn't like me in the first place. After returning to Northern Qi, without his protection, I will be torn to pieces by those women in his backyard. Am I stupid enough to rush to my death?"
Tang Bao: “…”
She was speechless.
"So, not only did you not help him, but you also secretly prevented him from returning to Northern Qi?" Tang Bao's tone was affirmative.
"Of course!" Bai Shuqing said proudly. "I'm not afraid to tell you that although I, Bai Shuqing, may not be as smart as you, or as lucky as you, I do have some tricks up my sleeve. Now that he's married me, he has to be responsible for my whole life!"
"Even if the forced melon isn't sweet, at least it can quench your thirst, right?"
"You want to use me and then dump me? No way!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Gave Bai Shuqing a thumbs up!
She is so shallow that she thinks those who fall in love will become stupid!
Bai Shuqing felt proud again when she saw Tang Bao giving her a thumbs up.
"Let me tell you, apart from the time I suffered at your hands, I, Bai Shuqing, have never done anything that would have lost money!"
Bai Shuqing raised his eyebrows and looked very proud.
Tang Bao: “…”
"Will the prince be willing to be bound by you?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
But she knew that the reason why King Xiao married Bai Shuqing was to take advantage of the power of the Bai family.
At the beginning, Bai Shuqing's heart and eyes were full of King Xiao, and he was the easiest chess piece to control.
King Xiao, such a treacherous man, actually fell into Bai Shuqing's hands.
I have to say, this really surprised Tang Bao.
Even though Bai Shuqing is smart, Tang Bao still doesn't think that Bai Shuqing can outsmart King Xiao.
When Tang Bao asked this, a hint of mockery flashed across Bai Shuqing's eyes.
"What can we do even if he is unwilling? An eagle with broken wings can only stay in a cage!" Bai Shuqing said meaningfully.
Tang Bao: “…”
He is a ruthless person!
Tang Bao still remembers how arrogant and presumptuous King Xiao was when he first came to Dayan.
Even the current emperor was not taken seriously by King Xiao.
He looked as if the whole world would be in his pocket sooner or later.
Tang Bao looked at Bai Shuqing and said seriously, "If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me. If nothing else, I can protect you and your child. I can still do it."
Although Tang Bao didn't point it out, Bai Shuqing understood what Tang Bao meant.
With the war between the two countries, both King Xiao and Bai Shuqing are now in an extremely awkward position.
Tang Bao naturally doesn't care about King Xiao's life or death, but she still wants to protect Bai Shuqing.
Tang Bao did not comment on the character of the Bai family, so she said this.
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Bai Shuqing finally stopped being so proud. She held Tang Bao's hand and said seriously, "Thank you. I was right about you. But I'm very happy that you have such a thoughtful attitude. Don't worry, I don't need you to protect me. The emperor will protect me."
Tang Bao: “…”
It seems that without his knowledge, Bai Shuqing and the emperor had reached some kind of agreement.
As expected, daughters of wealthy families are not simple!
What a precocious world this is!
Bai Shuqing is not even twenty years old at the latest.
"Your Highness, Prince Xiao is here to pick up the princess." A maid came in to report.
Tang Bao raised an eyebrow.
King Xiao is here?
