End of the year.
The quiet imperial city is extremely lively.
Every household is preparing for the New Year, but the royal family is even busier. In addition to preparing for the New Year's palace banquet, there is also the royal memorial service on New Year's Eve.
Ancestor worship on New Year's Eve symbolizes the expulsion of all diseases and the expectation of good luck in the new year. At the same time, the crown prince and other princes will stay up all night, but this year there is one more person.
Princess Ruyue.
For all these years, no woman in the Xuanyuan royal family has ever stayed up to see the New Year's Eve.
This... set a precedent, and the whole imperial city was buzzing with news that Bai Yanyan came back exactly two days before New Year's Eve, and was directly teleported back to the Bai family using a teleportation talisman.
On the teleportation array, Si Fei was also preparing to teleport, but as soon as Bai Yanyan came back, she directly bounced Si Fei out.
She quickly pulled him up. Si Fei held his waist and stared at her with a look of resentment, "Junior Sister, your senior brother's waist was finally healed, and now you've broken it again!"
"Are you sure I was the one who broke you? And not because you went too crazy with Mingyue last night?"
Si Fei:??? What nonsense are you talking about?! How could I be such a person?
"But why are you here? Where are you going?"
"Go back to Wuyun Academy and pick some spiritual herbs in your yard!"
Si Fei said confidently: "Little Mozi was injured. Although Mingyue treated him, the herbs Mingyue had were too few. Not as many as you have, so I wanted to pick some."
Little Mozi?
Second Brother?
Is he at home?
"But now that you're back, I don't have to go there." Si Fei said as he took Bai Yanyan into the room, and sure enough, he saw Chu Mo lying on the bed.
She checked it out.
Chu Mo's life was not in danger and his injuries were not serious.
"What's wrong with him?" Bai Yanyan asked.
"It's the end of the year now, and the eldest princess is staying in the imperial city. Nanyue also wants to rush back to the palace. Little Mozi was worried about her, so he accompanied her back. But yesterday, outside the city gate, he ran into someone Master had offended before, and was beaten up."
"He was injured while trying to protect Nanyue, but fortunately, he's not seriously injured."
Chu Mo was indeed fine and woke up in the evening. After seeing Bai Yanyan, he was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Yanyan to appear here. After a while, he asked, "Junior sister, Master Shishi..."
"Daddy is fine. He's playing in the Five Elements Secret Realm and will be back soon."
"Oh, I see..."
Chu Mo moved the corners of his lips and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips he didn't know how to start. In the end he just pursed his lips, and even frowned, looking very painful.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Are you not hurt?"
"without…"
Chu Mo shook his head, "Nan Yue saved me, I'm fine."
"Yeah?"
Bai Yanyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him with burning eyes. Chu Mo unconsciously avoided her sight. He felt extremely uneasy and even a little restless. He was struggling over whether to tell the truth or not.
Bai Yanyan smiled first, "I'm glad you're okay. The Chinese New Year is just two days away, so take good care of yourself."
After Bai Yanyan left, she closed the door. Chu Mo's tense spirit finally relaxed, but his brows were twisted into a small mountain. Finally, he lifted up his clothes and looked at the bite mark on his shoulder.
The two bite marks were very deep, and the skin around them was even darker, including the entire shoulder. He closed his eyes slightly, but recalled the scene of last night in his mind.
"I won't hurt it, but the premise is that you have to be a good boy and not tell anyone about this. Also, I need you to do something for me."
-
Bai Yanyan also acted as if nothing had happened on the surface.
He even took Si Fei out to buy New Year's items for the Bai family.
"Little Junior Sister, you're really biased. You should have asked Xiao Qingzi to do this kind of thing. My hands can't lift or carry anything, and you actually asked me to help you carry things? After all, I'm your senior brother. Can you please respect me a little?"
"Didn't you say that Dad took him away to practice? He hasn't come back, and..."
Bai Yanyan glanced at the person who was eating a lot of food and said unhappily, "You threw it all into the space, it's not you who took it. Besides, why are you eating it all now?"
“It’s delicious…”
Si Fei smiled brightly and pointed directly at Ruyilou nearby, "Junior Sister, Ruyilou has new dishes. Please invite me to dinner!"
Without waiting for Bai Yanyan to answer, Si Fei ran in first. Bai Yanyan put the little rabbit in her arms down without leaving a trace, and went to the nearby shop to buy some things. Until a round little animal that looked like a chinchilla ran into her arms, she walked towards Ruyi Tower.
Private room on the second floor.
Si Fei ordered a table full of dishes.
Hua Mingyue also came over and sat next to him, holding his hand, and the two of them whispered to each other.
The door opened, and Hua Mingyue finally moved away to keep a distance from Si Fei. Si Fei didn't care, and looked at Bai Yanyan with a smile, "Junior Sister, I asked Mingyue to accompany me, do you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind."
They arrived just in time, and Bai Yanyan pulled Hua Mingyue aside.
Discuss with him how to poison the emperor and his men without leaving any trace.
Si Fei was dumbfounded. He wanted to move closer to listen to what the two were saying with their backs to him, but Bai Yanyan glanced over and said, "Big Brother, go eat your food and don't eavesdrop!"
Si Fei: "..."
He looked at Hua Mingyue lonely, helpless and aggrieved, but at this moment he was looking at Bai Yanyan in shock and had no time to pay attention to Si Fei at all. Si Fei had no choice but to squat in the corner and cry.
