Chapter 350: The Bai Family's Calamity
The night is already deep.
Xia Qingtong couldn't sleep a little, everything today was too magical.
It was said before that the Bai family had disappeared. But now the Bai family not only did not disappear, but also appeared together?
She had a lot of questions, but she also knew that some things were in a hurry.
They are already here, as long as Bai Xuesong is really Ming Yue's uncle, then there are some things he is bound to tell them.
…………
It was dawn, and Xia Qingtong woke up almost as soon as he heard the movement outside.
After all, it was not at home, and she did not sleep peacefully. Sakura heard the movement and had already come in.
He was followed by two maidservants, holding a brand new set of clothes in addition to toiletries.
glanced at the red cherry blossoms who had changed into the maidservant costumes, Xia Qingtong changed into women's clothes like a stream.
As soon as he changed his clothes, Ming Yue came to him.
The two were ushered into the antechamber and had breakfast together. Xu was afraid that they would be uncomfortable, and Bai Xuesong and Bai Yi did not appear.
After they had eaten, someone came over again and led them to the study where Ming Yue stayed yesterday.
Bai Xuesong and Bai Yi sat in the study and waited for them, different from last night's relaxation, the expressions on their faces were a little solemn.
Ming Yue and Xia Qingtong glanced at each other, Ming Yue pinched Xia Qingtong's palm, and then sat down in a position on the side under the signal of Bai Xuesong's eyes.
When Xia Qingtong came in the morning, he was still a little worried. Will Bai Xuesong think that this is a matter between the Bai family and Ming Yue, and not let her listen.
If that's the case, she will go back and ask Ming Yue again.
But now Bai Xuesong's attitude made her feel at ease. This not only let her know that the Bai family also has Ming Yue's past.
More importantly, this is the Bai family's recognition and affirmation of her.
Although the attitude of Ming Yue's family is not necessary for her, being able to get their support will undoubtedly make Xia Qingtong feel more at ease.
She couldn't help but go to see Ming Yue, who glanced at her and silently held her hand.
Clasp your hands together. The two of them looked at the white cedar father and son together.
"Ah Yue." Bai Xuesong looked at Ming Yue, and his facial features, which were very similar to Bai Panxue, looked calm at this time. But if you look closely, you can find a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
praised in my heart, this child did not grow crooked, nor did he have resentment towards the world because of the misfortune of his childhood, which is very good.
admired in his heart, but his eyes became more and more serious.
"You read your mother's letter, and you already understand it."
"Yes." Ming Yue nodded: "Mother was killed by someone." I've always known this. ”
"Back then, your mother had an accident. The trustee sent the letter to us. We know that with your mother's personality, you will not be untargeted. After discussing with your grandfather, I decided to run away together. ”
Ming Yue also speculated about this before, but there was no empirical evidence.
"You only know that the Bai family has been guarding the border for several years, but you don't know why our Bai family has been guarding the border."
When Bai Xuesong said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Xia Qingtong looked at each other's eyes and knew that there must be a story in it.
She couldn't contain her curiosity to know what was going on.
……
Back then, it was still the time of the previous dynasty. Because the last emperor of the previous dynasty was tyrannical, cruel, and unreasonable, the people were miserable.
The ancestors of the Ming family were angry and rebelled, so that a group of people founded the Dongzhao Dynasty. The Bai family was one of the first people to accompany the ancestors of the Ming family to fight the world.
The Yin family is more literati, and the Bai family is more general. Speaking of which, the Bai family and the Yin family are both veterans of several dynasties.
But unlike Wenchen, military generals hold military power, if they want to rebel. It's just a matter of raising your arms.
The ancestors of the Bai family knew that their merits were high. It is bound to make the court uneasy and make the superiors restless.
Therefore, even though the Bai family is already one of the four major families in the capital, they are still cautious in their words and deeds. Restraining his children, when Emperor Qingren's imperial grandfather came to the court, he was very suspicious. There is a lot of suppression for military generals.
In addition, at that time, several princes had gradually become adults, and in order to win the heir, they fought fiercely for power.
Bai Zhenyu simply asked to guard the border city. Avoid the wave of disputes for the succession of the first emperor at that time.
The Bai family went to Liancheng and protected the border for decades. In addition, the Bai family has always been low-key, and the children who stay in the capital are also more restricted, although the power of the Bai family is not as good as the Yin family, it is also one of the famous families.
It's just that the daughter of the Bai family is precious. In Bai Panxue's generation, there is only one daughter, Bai Panxue.
Bai Zhenyu's wife couldn't bear that Bai Panxue had been in Liancheng, so she casually picked a military general to marry. After thinking about it, he decided to take Bai Panxue back to the capital.
Unexpectedly, Bai Panxue returned to the capital and went to the prince's mansion, but was favored by Emperor Qingren, who was still the prince.
Although Emperor Qingren had not yet ascended the throne at that time, even the position of the crown prince was a little unstable because of his brother's stubbornness.
However, Emperor Qingren took a fancy to Bai Panxue and insisted on including her in the East Palace.
No matter how much the Bai family objected, it was useless. In the end, I could only watch Bai Panxue enter the East Palace as Liangdi.
Later, Emperor Qingren ascended the throne, and Bai Panxue entered the palace. At first, it was Xue Fei, and later Xue Guifei.
The six houses of the pet crown are really not just talking. For the sake of Bai Panxue, Emperor Qingren almost never stepped into the dormitory of other concubines again.
Except for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when they went to the queen's Jiaofang Palace according to the ancestral system, it was difficult for other concubines to let Emperor Qingren look at them more.
Bai Panxue spoils the harem alone, although the Bai family doesn't want her to enter the palace, but there seems to be nothing bad about the ending in front of her.
But I never expected that the accident was born at this time.
Bai Panxue was slandered and annihilated by others, and Emperor Qingren, who was supposed to have the closest relationship with her. But there is not even the slightest certainty. directly convicted Bai Panxue.
The Bai family didn't expect that things would develop like this.
Especially after Bai Panxue sent her last letter. The Bai family had no choice but to start discussing countermeasures in the shortest possible time.
Escape is definitely going to escape, how to escape?
This brings to some things that were already expected when the Bai family accompanied the ancestors of the Ming family to fight the world.
There was once an ancestor of the Bai family who had learned the art of metaphysics, although he couldn't calculate the future 100% clearly, that person deduced that the Bai family would have a catastrophe many years later. And the way to deal with it is given.
The Bai family didn't know what the calamity was behind. But that doesn't prevent them from preparing for the situation in advance.
As early as the day the Bai family lived in the Bai Mansion, they began to prepare.
They dug a secret passage under the Bai family's ground. The secret passage leads directly outside the city.
On the day they received Bai Panxue's news, after the Bai family discussed, they didn't hesitate or hesitate and escaped from the secret passage together.
