“Has General Xiahou found out anything about the person who assassinated me?” Bai Lixin leaned lazily on the soft cushion and asked Xiahou Chun, who looked indifferent.

“Your Highness, there is no news.”

Bai Lixin gave a casual “en” and stood up, “General Xiahou came at the right time. My father sent someone to ask me to come and have lunch just now. You’ll also be going with me. ” He didn’t care who was being the assassination. It was definitely Xiahou Chu, so he was just asking to put pressure on him.

As Bai Liwu said, Xiahou Chun was in charge of most of the military power in the country, and if he wanted to rebel, he could do so at the drop of a hat.

Although Xiahou Chun is the head of the Xiahou family, he is not the only member of the Xiahou family.

Xiahou Chun had been in many battles and was alert and treacherous, so it was not easy to kill him. After killing Xiahou Chun, it would be even more difficult to deal with the aftermath. If he is not careful, the restless Xiahou family will rise and the court will be in turmoil.

If only I could strengthen my body with dimensional points…..

The system was so greedy for life and death that it always hibernated to avoid disaster at the first sign of danger. It was a little difficult to convince him that the system was dead.

Bai Lixin smiled from an unseen angle. It was up to him to decide who could stay calm and who would surface first.

With a flutter of his long sleeves, he let Si’er fasten a plush cloak over him and strode out with his head held high.

Xiahou was so excited that his desire almost rose again. He took a deep breath and followed Bai Lixin’s lead out of the palace.

Si’er watched the two men leave, each with more momentum than the other, and was slightly stunned. He suddenly heard Bai Lixin shouting from afar, “Si’er! What are you doing? Why don’t you follow me? ” Only then did he come to his senses and follow Bai Lixin.

His Highness was getting more and more courageous, and his demeanour was not worse than that of General Xiahou.

When the three of them arrived at the main hall, Emperor Shengyuan, the Empress, and Bai Liwu were already waiting. The three people were talking and laughing. Bai Lixin vaguely heard “Minister’s daughter” in their conversation and recalled some memories.

It seemed that there had been a time when they were looking for a wife for Bai Liwu.

 

One month after the present time, Bai Liwu was so indecisive that the emperor and empress, worried that he would not be able to take on the great responsibilities of the state, made Bai Lixin Crown Prince.

At the same time, Xu Ying, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites, who was both virtuous and artistic, was given to his Imperial royal brother. Xu Ying naturally became the princess.

However, not long after they were married, Xu Ying suddenly got an incurable disease and died a month after they were married.

Now that I think about it, maybe Xiahou Chun was related to Xu Ying’s death.

You slept with my man, and I’ll let you die without a place to get buried.

Bai Lixin glanced at Xiahou Chun. Such a narrow-minded man could even kill him. What difference did killing a woman make to him?

He remembered that when Xu Ying died, his brother fainted and was very sad for a while.

“This son is here to see father and mother.” Bai Lixin was led into the hall by the eunuch. He bowed respectfully, and Xiahou Chun followed.

Emperor Shengyuan’s eyes lit up when he saw Bai Lixin. He waved his hand, “Please take your seat quickly. General Xiahou is not an outsider. Please take your seat too and have a meal with us.”

Xiahou Chun was not polite either. He looked at where Bai Lixin was sitting and sat down right next to him.

Bai Lixin glanced at Xiahou Chun, and then looked at Bai Liwu, who was facing Xiahou Chun from across and coldly snorted in his heart. A toad that wants to eat swan meat.

“I heard father, mother and brother mention the daughter of the minister when I came in just now. Who is this minister’s daughter you are talking about? ”

Emperor Shengyuan laughed at Bai Lixin’s words, while Bai Liwu blushed slightly and used his tea to hide his embarrassment.

“Have you ever heard of the name of Xu Ying, the daughter of the Minister of Rites?” The King asked, laughing loudly.

“The daughter of the Minister of Rites? She is only 28 years old and is known as the most beautiful woman in the Snow Kingdom. She has been praised by the people of Snow City. ”

 

The smile on his father’s face grew brighter, and Bai Lixin was at a loss for words.

He almost couldn’t pick up his chopsticks after hearing Bai Lixin’s praise of Xu Ying.

“Xin’er is very knowledgeable. Tell me, how do the people in the city praise her? ”

“The majority of them admire Miss Xu Ying for her gentleness and generosity, as well as her beauty and wisdom. Not only that, but Miss Xu Ying is proficient in the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She has a thorough mind and is as bright as the autumn moon. She is a rare good woman. ”

“Hahahaha, it seems that Xin’er has a high opinion of her.”

The empress was also smiling. She shook his arm and laughed, “She looks good to me too. Her looks aside, her temperament is also good. She is a caring girl. I have seen her a few times and she is a sensible girl. What does Your Majesty think? ”

Emperor Shengyuan looked at Bai Liwu, who didn’t know where to put his hands and feet, and said, “Liwu, do you feel satisfied from what you’ve heard?”

Bai Liwu’s face became redder. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, “It is up to Father and Mother to decide.”

“Good, good. In a few days, I will invite the Minister of Rites to the palace and arrange for a marriage For Liwu! ”

Bai Lixin smiled gently and said, “Does that mean that…… father wants to betroth Miss Xu Ying to royal brother?”

“Yes, what does Xin’er think?” Emperor Shengyuan smiled and looked at Bai Lixin.

“As long as royal brother likes her, it is an excellent idea. Miss Xu Ying is a woman who is sought after by all the men in Snow City.”

The empress smiled, “All the men in Snow City? It seems that only our Liwu has such a fortune. Don’t blame Mother for being partial.”

Bai Lixin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

There was still less than a month to go before his father announced that he would become Crown Prince and Bai Liwu would become Prince Sun.

 

Bai Lixin knew that he would not be able to give birth to any descendants for the Snow Kingdom in his lifetime, and if the Snow Kingdom was left in his hands, it would only end up with no successor.

With his rebirth, his mind was on Dijia and S419M. It was only after a while that he remembered what had happened in reality. At that time, all he wanted to do was wait for his father’s return and have a long talk with him to persuade him to change his mind and make Bai Liwu the Crown Prince before the decree was issued.

But Bai Liwu’s attitude in the last few days was inconsistent with the good image he remembered.

So in the next month, all he had to do was to erase all the good things he had done before and reassess his brother. Once he was sure that his true nature was still the gentle and considerate one he thought he was, he would immediately tell his father that he could not succeed in the Snow Kingdom and beg him to appoint another crown prince instead.

As for Xiahou Chun…

Bai Lixin’s eyes caught a glimpse of Xiahou’s clenched fist, and his heart gave a cold snort.

The memory of Bai Liwu may have been biassed because of the good impression he had of him, but as for Xiahou Chun, his memory was correct.

This scum would have to send him to the purification room sooner or later.

During the meal, everyone chatted and finished. the meal was over in a few moments.

Emperor Shengyuan had been away for the past few days and had accumulated a lot of papers, so he had to rush to his study to correct them.

Bai Liwu glanced at Bai Lixin and Xiahou Chun, wanting to say something but not doing so.

After opening and closing his mouth several times, he finally looked at Bai Lixin and said, “Xin’er, can I visit your bed chambers?”

“Naturally, you are most welcome!” Bai Lixin replied without thinking.

The two brothers had had a big disagreement in the dungeon that day and had parted on bad terms. Apart from that time, Bai Lixin was at a loss for words as to what to do with this strange feeling.

The two walked together at the front.

 

Bai Lixin looked at Xiahou Chun out of the corner of his eye and saw that he had his eyes on Bai Liwu from time to time. He rolled his eyes and bundled Bai Liwu in front of him.

“Xin’er, you’re too close to me.”

“I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you so much that I can’t help but want to be closer to you.” Bai Lixin pouted and pulled him further and further away.

Bai Liwu smiled, “You are such a child.”

In Bai Lixin’s memory, walking with Bai Liwu on the pebble-paved road was originally the fondest memory.

But now that the memory had become reality again, it did not have that warm feeling of fullness.

Bai Liwu smiled gently and was very friendly to him, but the smile did not reach his eyes ……

The body was slightly tense and, yet forced to appear friendly.

Thanks to tens of thousands of years of world-hopping he was not sure if he’d be the same person he was at the beginning, but he wouldn’t have known until he died that his brother never cared for him.

But he can’t say that his brother is evil. survive the harem and complete missions, he also pretended to be welcoming many times.

Bai Lixin sighed lightly, feeling a little despondent.

The reality he had worked so hard for so many years was far from as good as he remembered, and he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort. The man beside him was warm on the outside but cold in the heart.

This was the reality. The memory that had appeared so many times in his mind had reached perfection only because he had selectively remembered the good things and forgotten the malicious ones.

Here and now, in a real-world where he had invested all his hopes but had finally fallen victim to reality, he could not help thinking of Dijia.

He thought of the dozen or so places he had walked with Dijia, of the sympathy they had shared.

There was a blunt pain in his heart, and his eyes became red and swollen.
