Chapter 695 Assassination (2)
Bai Qingning covered her lips and smiled, "The princess is Mr. Qingyun's legitimate granddaughter. If she is a princess, she is not a gentleman. We are not vulgar."
Mrs. Sun looked at Bai Qingning with a smile and smiled at Mrs. Bai, "Madam, let the daughter really speak. If this is what I say to me, it will make me dizzy." The smile on Mrs. Bai's face froze and said lightly: "Mrs. Sun is joking. How can she, a little girl, be as good as Mrs. Sun's clever mouth."
Mrs. Sun giggled and said, "I'm not joking. Who doesn't know that the girls of the Bai family have never been miserable in the past? If not, how could they be the one who can be kind to the emperor and the concubines for generations?"
Mrs. Bai's face turned blue and she glared at Mrs. Sun with hatred. Mrs. Sun didn't think she was holding her daughter and Ye Li while walking and joking.
"Princess, the fourth prince is asking for a meeting." The guard behind him followed and reported.
"Fourth Brother?" Ye Li was a little surprised. Today's banquet was hosted by female relatives, and male guests were not suitable for entering. Even Mo Xiuyao sent her to the door and left. But Ye Li also knew that if there was no important matter, Xu Qingbai would not have come to her at this time, "Madam Sun, is it convenient?"
Mrs. Sun thought for a while and said with a smile: "The fourth young master is beautiful and beautiful, and there is nothing inconvenient. Why not go to the pavilion ahead to wait for the fourth young master?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay."
Soon, Xu Qingbai was led by the guards to come in a hurry, "Li'er."
"Fourth brother, what happened?" Ye Li asked worriedly.
Xu Qingbai glanced at the female relatives next to him, and thought it was no secret and said directly: "My mother is here in Xiling!"
"What?" Ye Li was stunned, not understanding what was going on. After a while, she came to her senses and asked, "Grand aunt... Why did my aunt come to Xiling?" Xu Qingbai smiled bitterly and whispered, "My mother knew about me in Xiling some time ago. She just received a letter from her elder brother. Her mother had already set out from Licheng half a month ago, and she probably should be here soon."
Ye Li calmed down and said, "Since both my elder brother and uncle know, I guess there is no problem with my elder aunt's safety. I'll let someone pick up my elder aunt, so I don't have to worry." Xu Qingbai smiled helplessly, and then told Ye Li's face to show doubts, "I will stay in Xiling for a lot of time. At that time, my mother's place may...I'll ask Li'er to convince my mother for me."
Ye Li then realized that she and Mo Xiuyao had discussed with Mo Xiuyao who would be responsible for Xiling after they left. It seemed that Mo Xiuyao had already decided. Moreover, Xu Qingbai had experience in managing the local area and seemed to have good political achievements. In recent years, he has also managed the barren land in the northwest, and it is indeed appropriate to hand it over to him to deal with it. Ye Li also understood why his eldest aunt came in a hurry without fear of obstacles. The fourth brother could not get things done overnight in Xiling. Maybe it took three or five years. Now the fourth brother is not young. If he doesn't return to Licheng for three or five years, he will not be anxious to death.
He covered his lips and smiled secretly, Ye Li nodded and said, "Fourth brother, I understand. I will tell my elder aunt well."
Xu Qingbai then breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Thank you, Li'er." After talking about the serious matter, Xu Qingbai relaxed and nodded to Mrs. Sun and said, "Qingbai has disturbed me, please forgive me." Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "The Fourth Master is so serious. Mrs. Xu Qianli, it turns out that if there is anything I can help, the Fourth Master and the Princess, please speak out directly."
Xu Qingbai thought that he really needed Mrs. Sun's help, so he smiled politely: "My mother may have to live in Xiling for a long time, and it is not very suitable to live in the inn for a long time..."
Mrs. Sun understood and smiled, "It seems that the fourth young master will still have to stay in Xiling for many days, but it will make the daughters of the Xiling Boudoir... Haha, there are many houses in the city who want to sell them these days, and I will pay attention to them for them." Although many powerful families want to surrender to Princess Ding, many people also want to follow the Xiling Emperor to go south, and there are many houses in this imperial city that want to sell them.
Xu Qingbai bowed and smiled, "That's what I want to bother Madam."
Taking advantage of the excuse that Mrs. Xu was about to come, Ye Li sat for a while and stood up to say goodbye to Xu Qingbai. She had already attended this banquet as her identity, so she didn't have to attend the banquet from beginning to end. She showed her face and greeted the ladies for a few words, which was just as good as her courtesy. Moreover, after she gave it to her for a while, Feng felt a little uncomfortable, and Mrs. Sun didn't dare to stay for a long time. She stood up and sent them out. When she arrived at the door, Ye Li turned around and said, "Madam, I'm not here to send it again, please stay."
Mrs. Sun was not polite, and nodded and smiled, "So, the princess will walk slowly."
"Goodbye." Ye Li nodded and turned around and walked towards the carriage.
"Prince, be careful!" A silver light flashed in the sun, and Ye Li avoided it reflexively. A feather arrow shot from her side and nailed it to the carriage beside her. The guards following him immediately protected Ye Li and Xu Qingbai in the middle. A group of men in different clothes but covered their faces jumped down from the roofs of the street corners and rushed towards Ye Li.
The guards of the Ding Prince's Mansion came forward without hesitation, and both sides quickly fell into the battle group. Ye Li was protected in the middle and could see clearly that although these people had different colors of clothing, their skills were not bad, and they were obviously trained. But for a moment, they could not think of anyone in the Xiling Emperor City except Xiling Emperor who would have such an elite soldier and be here to assassinate her.
"Ah?!" These people came suddenly, and the ladies who were standing at the door before they had time to enter were caught. Although they were not for them, there was a disaster in the chaos. A girl was stabbed to death by someone and fell in front of Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun was so scared that her face was pale but still hugged her screaming daughter tightly and retreated to a corner. She shouted loudly: "Why don't you catch the assassin!" This banquet was a banquet where powerful women in the city gathered, so naturally it was impossible for them to be protected by the guards. However, these guards were obviously not opponents of the assassin, and they suffered heavy casualties as soon as they fought.
A guard was stabbed in the face by someone and smashed it towards the door. It just fell to Bai Qingning. No matter how calm Bai Qingning was, he was still a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. He screamed in fear. The voice was even higher than Sun Xiaofu. An assassin not far from her heard her voice and turned around and shot a willow dart. Bai Qingning opened her eyes wide but could not move at all, so she had to close her eyes and wait for death.
