Chapter 61: Return to the Palace
Bai Jiangyi rushed to Bai Wu's bedside: "Dad, you're finally awake, Dad." Bai Jiangyi was already in tears, and even she didn't know if she was crying with joy or because Bai Wu admitted what she had done.
"Daughter, dad is sorry for you."
Bai Wu raised his hand and touched his beloved daughter's face dotingly, even if his voice was weak, he still carried a deep apology. Now she doesn't know how to express her feelings, so she can only cry and shake her head.
But the things that should be faced must always be faced, although the scene in front of him was very warm, Shen Jiayi had to interrupt it ruthlessly.
Shen Jiayi also slowly came to the bedside, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Bai, can you tell the truth now?" ”
Bai Wu glanced at Bai Jiangyi hesitantly when he heard this, his biggest knot was nothing more than his daughter, he was forced to join Liu Wenzhong in order to protect Bai Jiangyi, and now he was naturally afraid that his confession would bring trouble to his daughter.
Bai Jiangyi raised her hand and took Bai Wu's hand, and held it tightly with both hands, her tearful eyes were full of determination, and she nodded heavily.
Seeing that his daughter had already expressed his position, Bai Wu also closed his eyes a little tired and nodded lightly.
"Then let's go." Shen Jiayi put on his coat again, tied his belt, and picked up his sword.
Bai Jiangyi was stunned and asked, "Where to go?" ”
As soon as the Shen family walked to the window, he opened the window a crack to observe the situation outside, and only when he saw that there was nothing to do for the time being, he said: "This is already the second assassination, and he has already made up his mind to let you die, Lord Bai." ”
Shen Jiayi said who he was Liu Wenzhong naturally knew, his expression sank, but he was more helpless.
"And where can we go?"
Although Bai Jiangyi didn't know who he was, she could also see it, if she was still in Baifu, Bai Wu would be assassinated continuously. But what other places in the capital are safe right now? You don't necessarily have to enter the palace.
Bai Jiangyi frowned slightly, maybe there was really a place that was safe, she was a little unsure and looked up at Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi chuckled and looked at Bai Jiangyi, he knew that she had already guessed: "Linwangfu." ”
The guards of the White Mansion, including the second lady, were only drugged and unconscious, and when they woke up the next day, they found that their master and eldest lady were all gone, leaving only the corpses in the courtyard of Dongke Garden.
Xu Qi unconsciously panicked when she saw this scene in front of her, she naturally knew that this was Liu Wenzhong's masterpiece, but she didn't dare to think about what happened here last night, let alone whether Bai Wu was still alive now.
Bai Shan's disappearance, she can probably guess that Liu Wenzhong did it, but what can she do? Xu Qi can't do anything, she is just a chess piece, a chess piece that is controlled by others and can never escape.
And Bai Wu was able to drink the medicine after waking up, and after drinking a pair last night, his complexion was much better today, last night the Shen family took them to avoid the road and eyeliner, and now except for the three people present and Lin Bo, no fourth person knows where Bai Wu went, including Liu Wenzhong. But even if Liu Wenzhong knew that Bai Wu was in the Linwang Mansion, what could he do? Let the killer come to the palace to assassinate? If Emperor An knew that the palace was here, he would have to dig up the murderer even if he dug through the ground.
In order to save his daughter's life, Xu Qi rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible.
"Brother, Baifu was assassinated last night!" Xu Qi cried bitterly as soon as she entered the study, although she knew that what happened last night was the work of the person in front of her, but she didn't dare to say it, after all, most of her daughter was in his hands.
Bai Wu also pretended to be in disbelief, and the tea bowl in his hand also accidentally fell, and he rolled on the ground a few times before stopping: "What did you say!" So how is Bai Wu now? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qi's tears also flowed, and she choked up: "I don't know, the courtyard is full of corpses, but he and Bai Jiangyi have disappeared." ”
"What!" Liu Wenzhong's eyes widened angrily, this time he was not pretending. It clearly ordered to kill Bai Wu, but why was the person missing, and why did its own killers all die?
Bai Wu tried hard to recall everything around him, Yu also sent an envoy to Guanbei, took away Shen Jiayi and Zheng Bingzhou, and also took away Mo Liangwei, then now the only one left in the imperial capital is the doctor who suddenly appeared, but Liu Wenzhong has obviously investigated this person who does not know martial arts, and it is impossible to rescue Bai Wu and Bai Jiangyi under the swords of more than 20 dead soldiers.
The top priority at the moment is to find Bai Wu, to see people alive or to see corpses!
Liu Wenzhong glanced at Xu Qi, who was sitting on the chair and crying bitterly, looking at her appearance, she should not know anything. Seeing this, Liu Wenzhong stepped forward and patted her shoulder, sighed, and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to find it, people should be alive if they are not there, you don't have to panic." ”
Xu Qi wiped his tears lightly from his cuffs, nodded, and whispered before he spoke: "Brother, Shan'er is nowhere to be found, you said that you wouldn't be with me and him." ”
After saying this, Xu Qi raised her head and just saw a trace of strangeness flashing in Liu Wenzhong's eyes, and she still lowered her head again and sobbed softly.
Liu Wenzhong didn't answer, just looked at the sun outside the window with a solemn face.
At this time, in a corner of the imperial capital, the sun shone on Bai Shan's face through the broken tiles on the roof. The dazzling light made the unconscious Bai Shan shake her eyelashes uncomfortably, and she struggled to open her eyes, but the headache that seemed to explode made her facial features distort together.
Bai Shan wanted to raise her hand and rub it to relieve her headache, but then she realized that her limbs didn't listen to her call at all, she wanted to get up, but even if she used all her strength, there was still no movement. Bai Shan's heart tightened, she would remember that night she was on the way home, only to feel someone behind her covering her mouth, she wanted to resist but was already weak and fainted.
She moved her eyes to the unfamiliar environment around her, unable to move, unable to call for help, and a sense of despair arose.
After a while, the door was slowly opened, and the sound of the dilapidated wooden door gave Bai Shan goosebumps. The obese man who came in looked at the woman in his underwear in front of him, and between the sinister smiles, the waist is wearing it off.
Bai Shan wanted to struggle, wanted to resist, but the powerlessness in her whole body could only make her accept everything that was happening. She stared blankly at the dilapidated roof, two lines of tears falling from the corners of her eyes. The man laughed wantonly, and the laughter seemed to reach Bai Wu's ears, making him tremble, and the decoction in the bowl in his hand also spilled a little.
Bai Jiangyi saw that he was so careless, so he took a face towel and helped him wipe off the decoction on the quilt: "Can't you drink any medicine?" ”
Bai Wu smirked twice when he heard his daughter scolding him, he wished that time would stop at this moment, because at this moment he finally felt the breath of life that he hadn't felt for more than ten years.
There was a knock on the door, and the Shen family once again interrupted the atmosphere that Bai Wu had dreamed of.
