Chapter 394 Bounty
Madam Xu knew that this was not the time to be sad. She restrained her expression and her eyes were cold: "The Regent Prince let me taste the pain of losing my daughter, then this lady will not let him have an easy time. Pass on this lady's order. If anyone can kill his children, this lady will give him all my silver!"
The nanny who followed Madam Xu obviously knew Madam Xu's current wealth.
She stammered: "Madam, that's several million taels of silver."
Madam Xu didn't take it seriously: "Several million taels of silver are not as good as my daughter's life. By the way, call Bailitao over. This lady has something to say to him."
"Yes!"
About two hours later.
Bailitao was brought from the Prince's Mansion to Madam Xu's residence.
He knew how powerful this Madam Xu was, and even his father didn't dare to offend her.
In addition, he liked Xu Meir, so he was also very respectful to Madam Xu.
Madam Xu was one of the first few people to know that Xu Meir was dead.
Bailitao still didn't know about it.
After entering the living room, Bailitao hurriedly saluted to Madam Xu above.
"Tao, meet Madam Xu."
Madam Xu narrowed her eyes, and there was a deep silence in her eyes like dead water.
"Did you know that Meir was dead?"
Bailitao's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Meier, she, she died?"
Madam Xu saw him like this, gritted her teeth in anger, suddenly stood up from the chair, then walked up to Bailitao and slapped him in the face.
The slap was so powerful that the corner of Bailitao's mouth was broken.
Bailitao was stunned, but he didn't dare to fight back.
Madam Xu scolded: "I asked you to protect Mei'er, and this is how you protect her? What did you think at the time, to leave Mei'er there!"
Bailitao's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to explain for a moment: "Mei'er insisted on staying, and I couldn't stop her."
When he said this, there was some grievance in his tone, but when he thought of Xu Mei'er's death, he couldn't help but redden his eyes.
Madam Xu was furious, and the pain of losing her daughter could not be vented. Bailitao has become her punching bag now.
"Mei'er has rarely left the imperial city, and she was easily deceived. As a brother, why can't you protect her a little? If she insisted on staying, wouldn't you persuade her, or take a tougher attitude and bring her back directly?"
Bailitao was speechless, his mind was in a mess.
The scene at that time was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want Mei'er to stay there.
But what could he do? What else could he do?
With a belly full of anger in his chest, Bailitao didn't dare to get angry with Madam Xu, so he could only lower his head and let the other party scold and scold him.
Madam Xu was so angry that she said in a cold voice, "I want you to go to Beiling again and declare war as an envoy. If the other party does not give me a satisfactory explanation, I will let Nanqi send troops to Beiling!"
Baili Tao's head was dizzy, "Yes, Madam."
Inside the Nanqi Palace, in the Prince's East Palace.
A guard ran to the study and reported to Baili Yunhe about Madam Xu's summons to Baili Tao.
Baili Yunhe had just finished writing a letter and put it in an envelope. A sharp look flashed across his cold eyebrows.
"Well, I know."
The servant paused, and then said, "Something happened with Madam Xu. She offered a reward of one million taels of silver to buy the lives of the children of the Regent Prince of Beiling Kingdom!"
Baili Yunhe's movements paused.
His face suddenly became gloomy.
"How dare she do this?"
Even if Madam Xu wanted to buy Ling Fengxun's life, he would not be so angry.
But Ling Fengxun's children are his nephews and nieces!
How dare she set her sights on these two little guys!
The color in his eyes darkened a little in the blink of an eye. Baili Yunhe stood up, clenched his fingers, and murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.
This Madam Xu is not simple. The two of them have also had some secret competitions during this period. He has arranged assassins to kill each other, but no one escaped. All the assassins failed.
He also encountered several dangerous attacks.
Basically, whenever he goes out, he will always encounter some coincidences and accidents. Fortunately, he is more cautious and avoids many assassination attempts.
Baili Yunhe closed his eyes, and his aura instantly became sharp: "Pass on my order, plan to act immediately, within a month, I want Madam Xu's life!"
"Yes!"
The messenger guard immediately stood up and left, conveying the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Baili Yunhe took a deep breath, stepped out of the hall again, and went to see Emperor Nanqi.
A few months ago, he had learned the news from An Yunxi that the Emperor of Nanqi had a stolen finger bone from the imperial tomb of Beiling Kingdom.
But it was difficult to find where the other party hid the finger bone.
Baili Yunhe made many inquiries openly and secretly and found out several places where the Emperor of Nanqi hid the treasure.
However, these places were heavily guarded. Even if he wanted to send people in to look for them, it would take a long time.
The easiest way to find the finger bone is to seize power and usurp the throne.
As long as he can sit on the throne of the Emperor of Nanqi, he can enter any place in Nanqi at will.
"Your Highness, you are here."
The eunuch guarding the door of Yangxin Palace saluted Baili Yunhe respectfully.
Baili Yunhe narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is the emperor asleep? Yunhe has something to ask and wants to see the emperor."
The eunuch immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, please come in. Madam Xu just came. The emperor is a little upset and is drinking inside."
When he heard that Madam Xu had been here before, Baili Yunhe's eyes narrowed instantly.
It was Madam Xu again.
Walking into the magnificent palace, Baili Yunhe came to the front of Emperor Nanqi and saluted.
When Emperor Nanqi Bailiqin saw his son, a bit of mellowness appeared on his frowning face, and he pointed to the seat opposite.
"Sit down, drink two cups with me."
Emperor Nanqi personally poured wine for Baili Yunhe, and then, his eyes, which were obviously a little drunk, but extremely stern, swept over Baili Yunhe's face.
"You look like your mother, your eyebrows and eyes are almost exactly the same, and your personality is cold and untainted by dust."
Baili Yunhe drank the wine in the glass in silence.
"Father, I have never seen my mother."
"Your mother was dead when you were born."
Emperor Nanqi sighed, his eyes revealing some memories.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Baili Yunhe did not beat around the bush, and asked with his thin lips: "Father, you have arranged Baili Tao as an envoy to Beiling this time. Do you want to go to war with Beiling?"
