Chapter 12: The Eternal Contradiction Between the Father and the Son

Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine was bought in the Bailing gourd for a whileβ€”it was still an hour before noon!

The old man Qin Kang on the side was a little curious, "Why wait for Shen Shi?" ”

Bai Ling politely replied, "Returning to the Qin Academy, it is not necessarily Shen Shi, in short, it is good to wait until the afternoon or evening." ”

Emperor Jianxi didn't ask much, but just agreed - he still had a few generals who had just come down from the front line in the north to see him in a while, although he secretly felt that this Bai Ling seemed to be playing tricks to delay time, but it was also in line with his own wishes.

After Emperor Jianxi left, everyone also dispersed, and Imperial Doctor Zhang stepped forward to help Wang Ji up, and several people followed Qin Kang and walked out together. After this early fright, Bai Shijun only felt that his legs were filled with lead, and he couldn't even breathe.

Bai Ling and Bai Yi got up and helped their father to get up, and the three of them wordlessly walked through the Taihedian Square and went in the direction of Xihua Gate. Until he left the palace gate, Bai Shijun still felt a little sudden, everything that had just happened was like a big dream.

"It's safe for now, Daddy." Bai Ling took his father's hand and shook it gently, "Let's go home for dinner first." ”

Bai Shijun came back to his senses and took a few steps forward, but soon stopped again. He glanced back at the towering vermilion palace gate, and was really sure that he had left the palace.

This morning, it was really changing, and the days were like years.

When Bai Shijun and the children arrived home, the time had not yet passed. At this time, everyone has already prepared lunch, and you can smell the aroma of different dishes after walking two steps in the alley.

Bai Shijun finally walked to the door of his house, and as soon as he pushed the door, he smelled the smell of rice - these two children had already put the rice on the stove before they went out!

Bai Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Bai Yi, "Brother, you help your father go back to the house to rest, I'll go-"

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yi had already rolled up his sleeves, "You don't have good legs, don't stand all the time." Let's go inside and rest with my father, and I'll get lunch. ”

With that, Bai Yi pedaled and went to the kitchen.

Bai Ling didn't fight, just took Bai Shijun's hand and walked into the house step by step.

Entering the house and helping his father to sit down, Bai Ling just wanted to pour water, but was firmly grabbed by Bai Shijun's arm, Bai Shijun's eyes burned, "Bai Ling, you tell Dad, what is going on with the Queen Mother's illness?" ”

Bai Ling gently pulled out the sleeve that was grabbed by Bai Shijun, "Dad, this is not something you should ask, and I can't say it...... Rest well, I'll help in the kitchen. ”

Bai Shijun was stunned for a moment, he looked at Bai Ling's departing back, his eyes gradually lowered, and he muttered distractedly, "...... How can you, how can you...... What are you hiding from your father? ”

This lunch, Bai Shijun will probably remember it for a lifetime.

Bai Yi took green peppers and pork belly and stir-fried a small fried pork from a farmhouse, steamed a big bowl of egg custard, sprinkled with a few slices of pickled mushroom slices and green onions, and finally fried chrysanthemum with garlic, I don't know how to deal with the chrysanthemum, it looks green and shiny, and the taste is also fragrant.

Bai Yi hadn't been in his kitchen for a long time, and when he showed his hand today, Bai Ling couldn't help but be surprised. But in front of this table of good dishes, Bai Shijun did not mean to move chopsticks at all.

"Dad, let's eat." Bai Ling picked a piece of meat and put it in Bai Shijun's bowl, "We have to enter the palace in the afternoon." ”

Bai Shijun looked at a plate of dishes on the table with tired eyes, and said in a low voice, "If you don't tell me the truth of the matter, I won't eat it." ”

Bai Ling had no choice but to put the chopsticks, "My daughter didn't mean to hide it from you, the original tone of the Queen Mother's affairs was that you couldn't put a word of mouth out." Even if even the slightest detail slips out of me, the palace will not spare me, and it will not spare you. ”

Bai Shijun raised his head and glanced at his daughter distressedly, "I'm ...... I just don't understand, how old are you, how could you be dragged to the Queen Mother to see a doctor? ”

Bai Yi said coldly, "It was all four years ago, and I only asked now, don't you think it's a little late." ”

"Four years ago?" Bai Shijun only felt frightened, he was stunned for a while, and then looked at Bai Ling tightly, "Four years ago...... You were only seven years old four years ago, huh? How could they have their eyes on you? ”

Bai Ling sighed, a little embarrassed, "Don't ask, I really can't say." Today, since the imperial physician mentioned the matter of the queen mother in the palace, will the emperor come to test you after the guarantee is not complete? In case someone in the palace finds out what you know, then-"

Bai Shijun's voice suddenly turned higher, "You are my daughter!" How could they-"

When Bai Yi heard this, he was already angry, and immediately splashed a basin of cold water, "Why can't they, at this time, they remembered that the palace is a place in Longtan Tiger's Den?" Bai Ling has said it several times, and it is inconvenient for her to say it! What more do you ask? Do you have to make the whole family jump before you stop? ”

Bai Shijun was pushed by Bai Yi, first he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and then lowered his eyes for a long time, "You guys...... Are you blaming me? ”

"Yes, or else?" Bai Yi didn't eat the rice, put the chopsticks down, and scolded angrily, "Can't you see how deep the matter of that Qu Guifei is?" Who are the people standing in the hall today, you should understand when you look at the complement on your chest, so many imperial doctors are surrounding a noble concubine who can't cure the disease, what kind of excitement are you a doctor going up to? ”

"This ...... This is the bottom line of the healer. Bai Shijun's voice was still a little stubborn, "That concubine is obviously not sick, but she can only be treated as a disease, and if she continues like this, she will die, how can I see death and not save her?" ”

Bai Yi smiled dumbly, "Dad, really, why would a noble person like you have a child?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What the? ”

Bai Yi has never been so hot as today, he stood up directly, "You want to hit the muzzle of the gun yourself, you want to be martyred, you want to live forever, no one will stop you!" But Bai Ling and I just want to live a down-to-earth life, and don't have eunuchs, brocade guards, and those troublemakers who come to the house to find trouble, okay? You earn your own reputation and catch up with the front, have you ever thought about what life your son and daughter are living at home! ”

Bai Shijun's teeth trembled, but he couldn't answer a word.

Bai Ling sighed, she was sandwiched between the two of them, and reached out to cover her face, "Shall we eat first?" ”

Bai Yi snorted coldly, picked up the bowl and continued to plan, but he faced the door of the house, deliberately not looking at Bai Shijun.

Bai Shijun's thousands of emotions came to his heart, guilt and resentment were entangled in his heart, but he couldn't say a word of accusation. Is there a mistake in Bai Yi's sentence? He and Bai Ling have both been sensible and obedient children since they were children, but it wasn't until today's confrontation in the Zhonghe Hall that Bai Shijun realized that he was so unfamiliar with these two children...... Over the years, you can imagine how serious his absence as a father is.

Bai Shijun was completely deflated, and slowly picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and when the chopsticks were raised, he looked at Bai Yi a little timidly.

"I ...... I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to ask for my resignation, okay? My father no longer practices medicine, and he doesn't make up any medical books, so our family of three ......"

"Do you think you'll be able to leave now-"

"Bai Yi! Don't talk about it. Bai Ling glanced at his brother, "It's useless to talk about this now, you can only solve the problem in front of you first, and then you can talk about the future!" ”
