292: Debt of affection
Heroes who are loyal to the country are always the fastest to die in front of the imperial power. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, Bai Xiru has been fighting on the border for many years, and his military exploits are even more outstanding.
What he wants is never a smooth career.
As long as the borders of Dachu are stable and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, he will be content.
Before, Bai Xiru was dismissed from marriage several times, and he was not annoyed.
The young Bai Congjian once heard his father say, "Dad never thought about starting a family before, Dad couldn't protect them, and getting married just hurt them." ”
Bai Congjian asked, "What about my mother?"
"Your mother?" Bai Xiru smiled, "She's different!"
Bai Congjian thought that his father's sentence was different because his mother was the princess of Da Chu and could not be disobeyed in front of the imperial power, so his father had no choice but to marry his mother. But it wasn't until he met Xiao Ziyu that he realized that this was not the case...... The difference in his father's mouth is because there is only one person he wants in his life.
Like him, the only woman he wants at this time is Xiao Ziyu.
She has to be.
The mother has poison in her body, and the father, who has been in the same room with her mother for many years, is naturally also contaminated with toxins. Bai Congjian didn't know if his father knew all this.
However, many years after my mother's death, my father still didn't say anything about my mother. How could such a delicate and thorough person not understand these things in the next few years?
In fact, those toxins are chronic, and the mother's previous miscarriage is also because of these toxins.
In the end, his mother would give birth to him, and she would also gamble with her life.
"If Princess Danyang doesn't give birth to you desperately. Ji Hao said this while letting the guards guarding the courtyard retreat, "Then she can live at least ten more years!"
For a person, ten years is not a lot, especially for a person like Princess Danyang who has toxins in her body, it is a rare and precious time.
Bai Congjian's expression was a little trance, but this trance was fleeting.
The courtyard is not big, and when everyone retreats, it looks very quiet.
The tea is on the red clay stove, tumbling greatly.
"But......" Ji Hao continued to laugh, teaching like an elder to a junior, "she is your mother, and it is not particularly surprising that she would choose this way." However, I won't help you concoct medicinal materials, so give up, young man!"
"My life is expensive!" said Ji Hao.
Bai Congjian didn't pick up Ji Hao's topic, but said, "I naturally know what my condition is." However, I also know why the National Normal University came to Beijing this time. ”
Ji Hao raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"
"That jade pendant was sent to the hands of the National Teacher!" Bai Congjian's voice was soft.
This time, Ji Hao's expression immediately changed a little.
He stared at Bai Congjian, as if he was looking at something, "Do you know what this jade pendant is?"
"I have heard that many years ago, a fire broke out among the Leyi people, and in this fire, the Leyi talisman was lost. Bai Congjian's voice was warm, "If I guess correctly, this jade pendant should be the one that the Lai Yi clan lost in the past." But ......"
Bai Congjian paused and said, "I think the talisman was not lost, but someone deliberately hid it." ”
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes, the old man's eyes were as sharp as if they had been quenched with poison, and he stared at Bai Congjian without turning his eyes.
"So, what are you trying to say!" asked Ji Hao.
Bai Congjian's expression was serious, "If the national teacher wants to retrieve the jade pendant, I am naturally willing to return it with both hands, and if the national teacher wants to disturb the life of the owner of the jade pendant, I will naturally not allow it!"
"She's doing well now, she shouldn't be disturbed!" Bai Congjian continued, "It's a blessing for her that she doesn't know everything about herself. After all, she's a Da Chu person now!"
Ji Hao looked away, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"If I'm not mistaken!" Bai Congjian said again, "The owner of this jade pendant should be your daughter, your daughter-in-law." ”
"Presumptuous!" Ji Hao's voice was low, and his words were a little majestic, "As the national teacher of the Laiyi tribe, I ......"
He didn't say anything after all.
Because Ji Hao knows very well that a smart person like Bai Congjian dares to pick out the topic in front of him now, then he must be completely sure.
The courtyard was very quiet, and the only thing I could hear at this time was the "poof" sound of hot water boiling on the small red clay stove.
Ji Hao's reluctance to answer this question head-on was already expected by Bai Congjian.
It's not because this daughter makes Ji Hao feel embarrassed, but because ...... About the biological mother of this daughter.
"Master Guoshi, you can believe that every word I say here today will never reach anyone's ears in the future. Bai Congjian said slowly, "I came to you just to want to know something, and I also want to protect the person I want to protect." ”
"It's like the national teacher who protected your sweetheart back then. ”
"I'm not like you, though...... She won't be as innocent as your sweetheart!"
These words, if others say these words to Ji Hao, then this person has been driven out of Ji Hao's sight at this time. But on the contrary, Ji Hao knew that he couldn't drive away Bai Congjian in front of him.
Bai Congjian knows everything.
The young man in front of him, even though his face and eyes were a little blurred behind the thin layer of water vapor, he was like an old fox who had lived for thousands of years, full of scheming.
Ji Hao didn't answer Bai Congjian's words after all, he just changed the topic, "I can't see the owner of this jade pendant, then, can I look at her from afar?"
When he said this, it was like the plea of an ordinary old man.
"It's natural, but I also hope that what the National Teacher promised me will do. Bai Congjian thought for a while and said, "Although you can't talk to her, it's ...... You can meet her daughter. ”
Ji Hao frowned, "Daughter?"
"Don't hide it from the national teacher, the owner of this jade pendant is the fourth wife of the Xiao family. Bai Congjian said, "She has not had a good life over the years, and now she is finally living a stable life, I think you will naturally not disturb her peaceful life again!"
Moreover, in the eyes of the fourth wife, one father is enough. ”
Ji Hao smiled bitterly.
He waved his hand, "I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back...... But today I am tired!"
Bai Congjian got up and said goodbye to Ji Hao.
Ji Hao was left alone in the small courtyard, and the things that had been hidden in his heart for so many years slowly appeared in front of his eyes with the bitter tea.
Back then, he was also young and frivolous, but in the end, he didn't protect the people he loved.
His lover was once the most dazzling girl in the Laiyi tribe, but he lost his life because of a pill prescription.
Thinking of this, Ji Hao held the hand of the tea cup and tightened it again.
