61 Chapter 61
Although the relationship between Cangwu Jingkite and Shen Chen made Bai Qian a little uneasy, she still had more important things to do now.
Bai Qian was accepted into the palace by the empress back then, one reason was that the empress liked her intelligence, but the more important reason was that Bai Qian had become an orphan girl with no father and no mother at that time.
Bai Qian was the daughter of the founding prime minister, but her parents were killed by the enemy when she was four years old, and she was taken out to play by the nurse that day, so she survived, although later the empress sent someone to catch the murderer in view of the loyalty of the Bai family, and executed the murderer Ling Chi, but Bai Qian always felt that there was something strange about what happened back then, and also felt that the murderer was just a scapegoat, not the mastermind behind the scenes. As long as he thinks that the murderer of his parents is still at large, Bai Qian will not dare to forget this blood feud for a day.
She could never forget that before she went out in the morning, her mother personally combed her hair with a horn comb, but when she came back in the evening, she saw a cold, wounded, unrecognizable corpse. She often woke up from her dreams, and the dreams were filled with the raging fire and her helpless cries.
This is also why Bai Qian is closer to Jing Kite than others, and the Cangwu Jing Kite, who lost her father at that time, always gave her a feeling of sympathy.
Cangwu Jingkite noticed Bai Qian's thoughts, and she also asked her tentatively in private, although Bai Qian hesitated, she still told her about it.
"Don't worry, if the murderer of Lord Bai has really not been brought to justice, then it is necessary to investigate, but it has been so long, and it is not very easy to find out all at once, let me help you check the file first, okay?"
Bai Qian didn't want to trouble Cangwu Jingkite, but when she saw her sincere eyes, she still nodded.
Cangwu Jingyuan is very efficient, she first went to the Criminal Law Department to check the files of the year, it stands to reason that she can't enter and leave the Criminal Law Department at will, but in view of Cangwu Jingyuan is now in the limelight in all aspects, the people from the Criminal Law Department have to respectfully let her in. Bai Qian's suspicion is reasonable, Cangwu Jingkite turned over a few files, according to the above statement, Bai Qian's mother was the founding prime minister of Cangwu, and she was selfless, and several of the reforms she implemented back then damaged the interests of some wealthy businessmen, so some people held a grudge, hired someone to kill her whole family, and set fire to it.
But Cangwu Jingkite found several suspicious points: 1. Although the rich businessmen are rich enough to rival the country, they are still ordinary people after all, and the so-called people do not fight with officials, and Lord Bai still holds such a high official position. 2. No matter how you say the Prime Minister's Mansion, it should also be a place of martial law, some guards are still allocated by the palace, and the murderer can kill Bai Qian's parents at once, which means that there is more than one, so if there is more than one murderer, how can so many guards not be able to catch people, and the empress has to arrest it afterwards.
In order to prevent some people from suspecting, Cangwu Jingkite then directly used the killer resources of the "Heaven and Earth Net" and asked them to be their own eyes and ears, but two days, Wuying came back with some information, but this information made Cangwu Jingkite more and more frightened the more he listened, because the tragedy of the Bai family's overnight annihilation seemed to have a great connection with the royal family.
Since the matter has not yet been investigated, Cangwu Jingkite still doesn't want Bai Qian to know, lest she think too much or do anything radical in anger, but within a few days, Cangwu Jingkite's worries will be fulfilled.
That day, Bai Qian sent a little snack to Cangwu Jingyuan, Cangwu Jingyuan was very happy, so she went into the room and took the bamboo flute she made to give her, Bai Qian picked up a book on this case and flipped through it, but accidentally saw a letter sandwiched on the book, which read: The Bai family destroyed the case, and the fourth princess opened it in person. The red clay seal on the letter had been opened, and it was evident that the believer had seen it. Bai Qian's heart beat violently, and she unfolded the letter with trembling hands.
Cangwu Jingyuan happily took out the bamboo flute, but when she saw Bai Qianzheng looking at the letter with a pale face, her heart couldn't help but tighten all of a sudden, she stepped forward in three or two steps, and before she could speak, she saw Bai Qianhong looking up at her with red eyes.
"You already knew, didn't you?"
"I also found out in the past two days." Cangwu Jingkite knew that the more he explained now, the more chaotic it became, so he simply answered honestly.
"Then why didn't you tell me what you were hiding?"
"Bai Qian, I won't tell you because there are still many things that are unclear, so I can't tell you." Cangwu Jingyuan wanted to walk over and shake Bai Qian's hand, but she avoided it all at once.
"What else is unclear, it is so clearly written in this letter, the case of the Bai family is related to the royal family, what else is unclear? Tell me, Jing Kite, what else do you know besides these, don't lie to me, I want to hear your truth. ”
"I know as much as you know."
"You're lying!" Bai Qian supported the corner of the case with his hand: "You promised not to lie to me, do you already know who the murderer is, don't you!" ”
"Bai Qian, calm down, don't be so loud, there are other people's eyes and ears everywhere here." Cangwu Jingyi took a step towards Bai Qian, and found that she had taken another step back, so she had to quickly close the palace door.
"Fourth princess, why are you so rambling today, what are you afraid of, is it because the murderer is your mother!" Bai Qian finally said her thoughts regardless of it, and Cangwu Jingyuan hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth: "You don't want to die, you still say this kind of thing so loudly!" ”
"Isn't it, isn't it?" Bai Qian was quiet for a few minutes, but then she pushed Cangwu Jingkite away fiercely, and she said: "I once swore to heaven that I must avenge my parents, even if the other party is the most powerful person in this Cangwu, I am not afraid." ”
"But I'm afraid." Cangwu Jingyi's tone was fast and anxious: "Bai Qian, it's not right for me to hide from you, don't be angry, wait until I investigate the matter clearly, okay?" ”
"No need." Bai Qian regained his composure, and seemed to have a hint of self-deprecation: "The fourth princess has a noble status and is entangled in important things every day, how dare I bother you." Also, if the Empress is the murderer of my parents, then you are the daughter of my enemy, and I am afraid that from today onwards, I will not be able to live in harmony with the princess, and please stay away from me. "I'm leaving.
"White light." Cangwu Jing Kite called out eagerly: "Do you really want to be so ruthless? Have you forgotten how happy we are together? I love you, and you love me, do you really want to torture each other like this? ”
Bai Qian bit her lip hard, so that the tears did not fall, she said: "Fourth princess, your father was also wronged and killed, and you also tried your best to avenge him, people are the same, the same heart, as long as I close my eyes, all I see is the tragic death of my parents, as long as I don't avenge them for a day, I can't be at ease for a day, in this case, do you think I can still be with you?" So let's get together and disperse, today we are still friends, and we are enemies when we go out of this door! ”
"You want to think of me as an enemy? I won't say yes. Cangwu Jingyuan walked up to Bai Qian: "Bai Qian, I don't allow you to say such angry things, I don't allow you to do this." ”
"It's not angry talk, Fourth Princess," Bai Qian wanted to break free from the cangwu Jingqi's confinement, but couldn't move, "I never say angry words, you know, please let me go now, otherwise I'm going to be rude to you." ”
Looking at Bai Qian's eyes that were so indifferent that she couldn't see a trace of past friendship, Cangwu Jingkite was also angry, she looked at Bai Qian, and said word by word: "Bai Qian, I only ask you, isn't our relationship enough for you to let go of hatred and trust me?" ”
Bai Qianqi sneered: "Far from it, not enough." ”
Looking at Bai Qian's departing figure, Cangwu Jingkite once again felt a deep sense of powerlessness, not only for her words, but also her last answer, could it be that Bai Qian's love for her is not as deep as she imagined? Cangwu Jingkite looked at the bamboo flute that was originally going to be given to Bai Qian, and suddenly grabbed it and smashed it on the ground.
From that day on, the two fell into a serious cold war, Bai Qian began to avoid her, and when they met, they called her "Fourth Princess" coldly, even when she went to Xueyang Palace, Bai Qian also said that she was sick.
"Fourth princess, what's wrong with you and our young lady, she has been very strange these days, she doesn't speak, she doesn't see anyone, she practices swords like crazy, and her face has lost weight."
Cangwu Jingyuan was angry and distressed, and in the end she could only sigh and let Qiu Rong take care of her.
Time unconsciously came to the day when Bai Qian's appearance was sealed, and Cangwu Jingkite's heart had been tense, for fear that Bai Qian would do something irrational. Fortunately, Bai Qian is quite calm, she is wearing a gorgeous dress, the corners of her eyes are hooked a little, the whole person looks cold and domineering, Cangwu Jingyuan has never left her eyes since she entered the Jinluan Palace, but Bai Qian didn't look at her at all.
But when the empress officially named Bai Qian as the prime minister, Bai Qian bowed and said in a calm voice: "Please atone for your sins, the people's daughter Bai Qian is unworthy of this position and does not dare to take on the post of prime minister of Cangwu." ”
The empress knew Bai Shio's shallow nature, and thought she was modest, so she said: "If you can't deserve this prime minister, then no one can deserve my prime minister." ”
Bai Qian didn't get up, but said: "Bai Qian's mother worshiped the prime minister back then, but she ended up dying unexpectedly, and she is still like this, Bai Qian doesn't want to repeat her mother's mistakes." ”
"What do you mean by that?" The empress noticed the unkindness in Bai Qian's tone, and frowned: "Lord Bai died young, and I am also very sad and regretful, but death, life, wealth and wealth are all in the sky, and things have passed for so long, you should also let go." ”
"Where is the wealth of life and death in the sky, in the people, Your Majesty, or in other words, the life and wealth of the world are in the hands of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will live if you want to live, and if you want to die, you will die."
"Bai Qian, what do you mean by this, aren't you blaming me?" The empress's voice was sharp, and Cangwu Jingyuan was afraid that Bai Qian would say something in a fit of anger, so she hurriedly stepped forward.
"Mother, don't hide it, Bai Xiang just went to worship his parents a few days ago and his body was infected with the wind cold, and the sons often talked to her about loyal people recently but ended up in a bad end, I'm afraid Bai Xiang missed his parents in his illness and was in a trance, so he said these words, but she didn't have any malicious intent."
"I just worshiped my parents, no wonder you were wronged, it was indeed me who didn't protect Bai Xiang back then. Well, since you're not feeling well, go back and rest early. ”
"White Phase." Cangwu Jingkite gently called Bai Qian, and after a while she thanked her for getting up. 166 Reading Network
