Chapter 23: The Eight Princes

Bai Zhenxuan looked at the increasingly gloomy father, for the sake of the old man's health, he felt that he should interrupt his father's thoughts and divert his attention.

So Bai Zhenxuan pretended to be nervous, trotted to the door, listened attentively, and after making sure that there was no one, he quickly came to the old man's side, leaned down, and said softly in a low voice: "Dad, is there a candidate in your heart?" ”

Bai Zheng came back to his senses in an instant, glanced at his son who was pretending to be in a posture, and he raised his hand and slapped his son's head hard.

Bai Zhenxuan retreated again and again in pain, covered the back of his head, and looked at his father with an aggrieved face, hiss, it hurts! The old man is still as strong as ever.

"If you say you're stupid and don't admit it, your father and my study will be casually able to eavesdrop?" Bai Zheng once again glanced at this stupid son.

Alas! Their Bai family really has no successor!

Bai Zhenxuan choked, it seems that it is indeed oh, Qing Jinwei's skills alone are unmatched! He touched his nose awkwardly and asked again in a normal voice: "Dad, is there a candidate in that heart?" ”

Bai Zheng's face was covered with haggard tiredness, his eyes were slightly cold, his pale lips moved slightly, and he spat out a few words hard.

"No, that person has become more and more silent in recent years, and even his preferences are very different from before, and his mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess."

"In that case, why are we taking sides so quickly? That's only fifty-seven this year, right? Bai Zhenxuan touched his chin, a little puzzled.

"Because there's something wrong with that person's health." Bai Zheng lowered his voice, his eyes slightly darkened.

Bai Zhenxuan leaned closer slightly, as if he wanted to hear more clearly.

The nasolabial folds at the corners of Bai Zheng's mouth were folded together, pursed his lips, and said softly: "Several of our imperial doctors in the palace have been diagnosed one by one, is that kind of disease!" At the earliest, it's five or six years old. Bai Zheng lowered his voice and said slowly,

"What kind of disease?" Bai Zhenxuan lowered his voice and exclaimed......

Bai Zheng pursed his lips, his nasolabial folds were folded, he nodded slowly, and didn't say much.

For a moment, the study was so quiet that only the sound of the two of them breathing remained.

"Alas~ time, life! Don't think about it!

Go ahead and give the things to Ye Ning. ”

Bai Zheng leaned back relaxedly, sighed, and closed his eyes.

He waved his hand and let his son out, indicating that he wanted to be quiet. He expertly pressed his temples.

In the past few years, he has slept less and less, and although his body is fine, it is not good after all.

If there was a successor to the Bai family, he wouldn't have to be so tired!

Thinking of this, a resolute little face flashed through his mind.

No way! Not yet! There is still much more to cultivate.

Bai Zhenxuan looked at his father worriedly, his old and tired face, he felt extremely guilty in his heart, and at the same time felt very difficult.

He knew that his brother was stingy and jealous, and he also knew that his brother loved to brush up on insidious, yin and yang.

But he is really not suitable to be a family member, he is not here, and there is no way to help his father reduce the burden.

Alas! He also sighed slightly, stepped back gently, and gently closed the study door again.

He took Ah Fu to the Ye family's grocery store non-stop.

He stood in front of a quaint and ordinary grocery store, watching the scene of people coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's in this ordinary grocery store, but it contains extraordinary meaning. It is located in the center of Fucheng, leading to the north gate, connecting the south gate, the yamen on the left, and the morning market on the right.

It is in the midst of bustling all the time, it is such an inconspicuous grocery store, but it is in an excellent geographical location, quietly collecting information about the entire Feng Kingdom.

Concubine Xian Niangniang is really far-sighted and resourceful!

Sure enough, no matter what dynasty it is, the influence of the harem cannot be underestimated.

So his daughter is not suitable for living in the palace, although this is very unfair to other girls of the Bai family, however, people are selfish!

He is extremely firm in his heart, and he will never back down for the sake of his daughter.

At the moment when Bai Zhenxuan appeared at the door, a young junior ran out with a smile.

Xiao Er bowed and greeted warmly: "Hello guest officer, what do you need?" As long as you can say it, we can bring it to you. ”

Bai Zhenxuan hooked his lips slightly and said three words: "I want a bosom friend!" ”

Xiao Er was stunned, touched his head stupidly, and said with a shocked face: "Ouch, the guest officer is really joking!" I don't dare to make decisions about this, and I will find you a confidant. You have to drink the shopkeeper's detailed discussion!

Hey, guest officer, please, please! ”

Bai Zhenxuan hooked his lips slightly, and under the guidance of the shopkeeper with superb acting skills, he soon came to the study in the inner room.

Facing the sunlight falling from the window, there was a handsome figure standing there.

Dressed in white like snow, the wide robe is embroidered with three lifelike cranes, frolicking in the fairy river.

The breeze blows, rolls up the robes, and the cranes dance, like picking immortals, swaying upward.

Bai Zhenxuan was startled and hurriedly ran into the house, and the shopkeeper behind him closed the door very skillfully.

"The second master of the Bai Family Medical Hall, Bai Zhenxuan knocked to see His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, His Royal Highness is auspicious!" Bai Zhenxuan knelt down on his knees strictly and respectfully, folded his hands on the ground, and bowed.

"Get up! When you're away from home, there's no need to be polite. ”

The clear voice sounded like a dingdong, like a heavenly sound.

"Your Highness!" Bai Zhenxuan's knees simply left the ground, standing aside in a regular manner, raising his head and back, his eyes drooping.

"You are the second son of the White Imperial Physician who is often mentioned?" The clear and gentle voice revealed a hint of curiosity.

"Yes! Below is the second son of Imperial Physician Bai, Bai Zhenxuan. Bai Zhenxuan folded his hands, bent down slightly, and replied cautiously.

"Oh! The toothbrush is also your credit? The clear and gentle voice revealed a hint of majesty.

Is this Longwei?

Bai Zhenxuan clenched his fists tightly, his nails were embedded in the flesh without knowing it, and he replied respectfully: "No..., the toothbrush is the work of a little girl!" I don't dare to deceive and be greedy, please forgive Your Highness! ”

The Eighth Prince must not be allowed to count this merit on his head, otherwise Lele's matter will be gone!

Bai Zhenxuan's heart set off a monstrous wave, what does the Eighth Prince mean by this! Why is it different from what I said before?

Could it be that he has other plans for Lele or for our Bai family?

But why didn't Dad mention it to him?

The handsome face of the Eighth Prince was calm and unwavering, he did not speak, just quietly looked at the man in front of him who had been bending over, as if he wanted to know his truest thoughts.

For a moment, the room was quiet.

The beads of sweat on Bai Zhenxuan's forehead went straight down his temples and into his neck, wetting his clothes.

Even in spring, it's still hot at noon.
