Bai Jue and Gu Wanqing's expressions froze at the same time.

Sure enough, Bai Ling knew about it.

Even though Bai Jue did not mention anything about the princess, Bai Ling was meticulous and he was not unaware of Bai Jue's abnormal actions during this period.

"Brother, will I blame me for interfering in the princess?" Bai Jue asked.

Bai Ling shook his head calmly and sorted out the miscellaneous items on the desk, "No. This incident did not cause any losses to the Bai family and Nan Yan. Besides, I don't want the princess to be depressed in Yunfan for the rest of her life, that would be the same as the queen. Moreover, you did the right thing, you can't tell the prince about this."

After hearing what he said, Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That brother should be able to agree to our plan?"

Bai Ling held the book tightly, and with a click, he folded it halfway.

He looked solemn and asked coldly, "Do you want me to treason?"

Gu Wanqing asked in confusion: "Can you understand the princess' escape, why does it mean to betray me when I get to myself?"

"I am different from the eldest princess. So, I won't agree. Don't bother with me."

"Since you think the princess can live in hiding anonymity, then you can do it too. You are a kind and upright person, and there is no need to ruin your life for such a ridiculous statement. Life is yours."

Gu Wanqing particularly emphasized the word absurdity.

The experiences of the two brothers of the Bai family are ridiculous. Just because of the words of the Heavenly Master, they have to pay a heavy price for their lives.

She couldn't accept this kind of view.

Bai Jue hugged Gu Wanqing's shoulder and stood up with her position, "Wanqing is right. I have been away from my family since I was a child. It has been enough to experience such a thing once. My brother knew about my suffering at that time, and now he has to save himself."

"Bai Jue, General Wan Qing. I am the eldest son of the Bai family and I have to carry a lot of things. I am loyal to Nan Yan, and the word "loyalty" has never been said. Since I was familiar with the world, I had to sacrifice my life for Nan Yan at the age of twenty-two. This is a very honorable thing for me, and it is not worth being sad or afraid of."

Gu Wanqing didn't expect that a person as enlightened as Bai Ling could say such words, "This is the most ridiculous thing! You are smart, why are you so stubborn?"

"Everyone has their own ambitions. General, you yearn for freedom of mind and unrestrained, but I have too many ties. I die for the Bai family and Nan Yan, and I am willing to die. If you do extra things, I will never survive. In my life, without the stories and plans after the age of twenty-two, I have enough to get to where I am today."

Bai Ling's determination and no hesitation made Bai Jue surprised.

"Brother——"

"Bai Jue, do you want to talk again?" Bai Ling's face was full of anger and glared at Bai Jue fiercely, "Since General Wan Qing married you, you should live your life well. She could have been safe and sound. Are you sure you would drag her into this muddy water to save me? Then let you bear the rest of your life's uneasiness because of saving me? If you are discovered, then you, even the Bai family, are Nan Yan's eternal sinners. Do you want the Gu family to bear this ugly history?"

Every word Bai Ling is like a knife that suddenly flew over, killing Bai Jue's heart.

Bai Jue had never seen his gentle brother look at him so seriously and harshly.

What Bai Ling said is also the facts that he will face in the future.

He looked at Gu Wanqing next to him, but couldn't even say a word.

"I have something to do, you guys go out. Don't mention this matter again."

Bai Ling sat back to the desk and completed the unfinished copywriting.

His determination also showed that he could no longer continue to worry about this issue, so Gu Wanqing had to pull Bai Jue away.

When he was closing the door outside, Bai Jue saw a letter pressing under the inkstone, which was written to Rong He.

The two left the house and walked towards the secluded place of the Hou's Mansion.

Gu Wanqing saw that Bai Jue’s face was not good, and knew it was because of Bai Ling’s words.

She advised, "Don't listen to your brother's words. Even if I don't get married to you, Bai Ling shouldn't die. Don't have any psychological burden."

"Yeah." Bai Jue looked ahead and his brows were deep, "I knew that my brother would not agree. He was determined to die, and his strong ideas since childhood were not so easy to change."

"Then we will rescue him on the day of the ceremony. No matter what happens in the future, we will save his life first."

Gu Wanqing said. But Bai Jue's eyes were empty, as if he was wandering in a daze.

She shook in front of Bai Jue's eyes, "Bai Jue?"

Bai Jue looked at Gu Wanqing, and his worried expression just now suddenly became very sad.

He paused for a long time before he slowly said: "Brother, he never thought about how to live after he was twenty-two years old. He arranged everything and arranged himself. Maybe we can't do anything..."

...

The next day, after the court meeting, Bai Ling sent someone to send a letter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he did not go to the East Palace in person.

Bai Yansheng returned home after Bai Ling. Lunch had been arranged in the lobby and the meal was slightly sumptuous.

Bai Ling had already changed into a pineapple shirt in the regular clothes and stood at the dining table with a smile, "Dad, it's time to eat. Today, there was a good wine out of the cellar of Chenxianglou. I bought a pot and wanted to have a drink with you."

Bai Yansheng was stunned for a moment.

He took off his official hat and slowly walked towards Bai Ling step by step.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that I have taken twenty-two steps in total.

Every step he took, he seemed to be able to see Bai Ling's growth from a one-year-old, and what remains unchanged is Bai Ling's gentle smile.

His son stood in a halo and called out to Daddy.

"Okay, have a drink..." Bai Yansheng rounded his eyes and drove away the sourness in his eyes.

After sitting down, I saw that there were only two bowls and chopsticks and two wine glasses on the table.

"Where is Bai Jue?"

Bai Ling poured wine while explaining, "I should have received the emperor's order to do something important. Or, I'll be with General Wanqing in the General's Mansion."

Bai Yansheng nodded in a daze.

The father and son started drinking one cup by one. The servants next to him felt relieved and sad when they saw it.

In fact, since Mrs. Bai passed away, the father and son rarely sat together for dinner, and they were all stuck in their own room to do things, so the servants handed over the food.

The main hall of the Hou Mansion has always been deserted.

Bai Ling and Bai Yansheng didn't say anything, they just ate vegetables and drank wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Yansheng spoke, "In two days, go to the cemetery to see your mother."

"yes."

"I will set up a tomb for you and buried it in the same place as your mother. When you go to that world, you must take care of each other."
