Concubine Li was sitting quietly on the treasure boat. Next to her was a woman dressed in white. She was graceful in figure and elegant in manners. Her clothes were not luxurious, but they were very decent, fully demonstrating the temperament of a lady.
"Mei Qingyi?" Zhao Bai was a little surprised.
He really didn't have much impression of Mei Qingyi. He only saw Qin Shaobai's description of Mei Qingyi in Qin Shaobai's daily handover letter.
It turns out that Qin Shaobai has a very good girl in his hometown, who looks almost the same as Mei Qingyi.
However, Qin Shaobai also said that Mei Qingyi was spoiled by the two elders of the Mei family and Mei Wude, and sometimes she was so willful that it gave people a headache.
Qin Shaobai even specifically said that it was okay, it was better not to mess with Mei Qingyi, because she would turn into a crazy tigress anytime and anywhere.
Now, Mei Qingyi, who could turn into a tigress at any time, was sitting quietly next to Concubine Li, smiling sweetly, and meekly offering a cup of tea to Concubine Li from time to time. The warmth between her eyebrows made Zhao Bai suspect that this person
It must not be the Mei Qingyi Qin Shaobai mentioned.
"Bai'er." Mrs. Li stood up in surprise, and Mei Qingyi stood up too, supporting Mrs. Li very naturally.
"You are Bai'er, you really are Bai'er." Concubine Li's hand caressed Zhao Bai's face, "Only Bai'er can have such a determined look in his eyes."
"Mother, you're fine." Zhao Bai said coldly, without looking at Mei Qingyi, and sat down opposite Mrs. Li.
"Bai'er, do you still hate me?" Li Taifei obviously couldn't bear Zhao Bai's indifference, her body was trembling slightly, and her voice was filled with infinite sorrow.
She slowly walked back to her seat. Because she wasn't paying attention, her body was rubbed by the corner of the mahogany table. She just stepped back slightly and continued walking forward.
Mei Qingyi rushed over and helped her.
He cast his angry eyes at Zhao Bai, but he didn't say anything.
"I know that if I hadn't stopped you and Cui'er that year, you and Cui'er would have found a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Maybe you would have had your own children, and you would have been herding and raising sheep with your children, and living a life without fighting against the world.
.”
Concubine Li seemed unwilling to recall that past event. She gritted her teeth, tried hard to control the tears in her eyes, and looked at Zhao Bai quietly and expectantly.
Zhao Bai said nothing, picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Bai Ruxue, who was standing aside, immediately filled him up.
Zhao Bai raised his head and glanced at Bai Ruxue, but without saying anything, he actually pulled Bai Ruxue over and sat on his lap.
Bai Ruxue never expected that Zhao Bai would do this. She was ashamed and afraid. Her hand holding the wine bottle was trembling, but she didn't dare to get up. She could only look at Mrs. Li aggrievedly.
"Bai'er, they were originally prepared for you. If you want them to do anything, they will not complain at all."
With that said, he turned around and said to Ouyang Zi, who was standing aside, "Go and prepare a bed for the young master."
Ouyang Zi agreed, lowered her head and was about to go.
But Zhao Bai laughed loudly and pointed at the woman in front of him: "Mother, you are still the same as before. In your eyes, she, she, yes, and she are just chess pieces, right?"
Mrs. Li took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly.
It seemed as if all the sadness in his chest was going to be sprayed out with this breath.
"Bai'er, except for you, everyone in this world is just a pawn."
As Mrs. Li spoke, she waved her right hand, and Bai Ruxue stood up from Zhao Bai's lap as if being blown up by the wind.
She hurriedly ran to Ouyang Zi, with two lines of clear tears already hanging on her aggrieved pretty face.
"Mother, everyone in this world is a human being, and we are not willing to be anyone's pawn."
Zhao Bai stared at Concubine Li closely,
"Back then, if you hadn't informed me, how could my father have known Zi'er's identity? If you hadn't had Zi'er's biological mother killed, how could Zi'er have hated me to the core, lured me into a trap, and killed me thousands of spiritual snakes
Destroyed and caused the tragic death of eight thousand of my warriors?"
Those who listen to such words feel filled with indignation and anger.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Bai's tone was extremely indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story.
It's so light that the air becomes cold, and it's so light that those who listen can't help but tremble all over.
"Bai'er." Concubine Li sighed, "That year you were obsessed with Wanyan Cui'er. You knew that he was a witch from the Jin Kingdom, but you still had no hesitation. Even if the Jin Kingdom now has a peace agreement with the Song Dynasty, which Song Dynasty people are willing to
Do you see your future king marrying that enchantress from the Kingdom of Jin?"
At this last shout, Mrs. Li shouted so hard that her blood surged and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The three girls all exclaimed and went to help.
Mrs. Li just picked up the tablecloth on the table, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stopped the three girls with gestures.
Zhao Bai's body trembled slightly, but a little less, he sat firmly on the chair again, as if he was just watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.
"Bai'er, I know, it was me who missed you and Cui'er."
Concubine Li walked towards Zhao Bai and gently touched his face,
"But God has also punished me, hasn't he? My son would rather be misunderstood by the world than come back to me, so that I can have the opportunity to explain to the emperor that the Zhennan King's family and the Li family were almost wiped out.
, I can only hide on this ship, linger on, and live a life of darkness."
The more Concubine Li talked, the more sad she became. Her body sank and she was about to kneel down in front of Zhao Bai.
Zhao Bai, who was still holding the wine glass and drinking quietly, could not sit down anymore. As soon as he gave up, he had already firmly supported Mrs. Li with both hands.
"If Cui'er hadn't still been living well in her world, I would never have forgiven you like this."
As soon as Zhao Bai finished speaking, Bai Ruxue let out a cry.
Zhao Bai turned around suddenly and stared at Bai Ruxue: "Xue'er, what do you have to say?"
"Young Master, Young Master, I, I..." Bai Ruxue began to stutter, but her eyes were directed towards Concubine Li.
Mrs. Li didn't speak, and looked coldly into the distance.
"Bai Ruxue, I order you to tell me what you want to say."
Zhao Bai growled.
"Xue'er, tell me, he will eventually know." Mrs. Li sighed, "There is nothing in this world that can be hidden from future generations."
"Then, concubine, I really said it." Bai Ruxue said, but she stepped back, and the look of fear made her beautiful face look more ferocious.
"Say." Zhao Bai waved his hand, and in his hand, he was already holding a green jade flute.
Everyone's hearts trembled.
The four people here all know that once the jade flute of the God of War comes out, if it is not for Fengyue, there will be blood.
"Young Master." Bai Ruxue knelt down suddenly on the ground, "Young Master, after you disappeared on the battlefield, sister Wanyan Cuier returned to Dajin and was tied to the imperial city by the then king.
…”
Bai Ruxue started to swallow more.
Zhao Bai's eyes were full of fire, and the fire illuminated his face blood red.
"Then, Jin Zhangzong asked someone to use a knife, use a knife..."
Bai Ruxue couldn't speak anymore. She lay completely on the ground and swallowed softly.
"How about the knife?"
Zhao Bai had already guessed that possibility, but he was unwilling to face it. He stared at Bai Ruxue, picked up Bai Ruxue with both hands, and shouted angrily.
"Bai'er, please don't make things difficult for Xue'er." Concubine Li said quietly, "After Cui'er returned, she was still considered a collaborator and traitor to the country, so she was sentenced to death in the most cruel way."
Lingchi execution!
Zhao Bai repeated these four words gently.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing and yelled: "Execute Ling Chi! They clearly used Cui'er to win that battle, and they had already made Cui'er lose me and love, so why should they execute her Ling Chi." Jin
Zhang Zong, you..."
Zhao Bai felt as if his internal organs were torn apart. He covered his heart with his hands and his face turned pale.
The four women looked at him, but none of them dared to step forward.
"Okay, very good, very good. God, you are so good to me, Zhao Bai."
Zhao Bai waved the jade flute in his hand. In an instant, the waves surged beside the boat, and the originally motionless boat actually trembled a few times.
Bai Ruxue crawled behind Ouyang Zi, but she whispered in her mouth: "Master, don't do this, Master, you will be hurt, Master."
"Qingyi, tap his Fengchi point, don't make him go crazy."
Mei Qingyi responded with a yes, and there were two more things the size of soybeans in her hand, and she threw them towards Zhao Bai.
Zhao Bai, who was dancing the jade flute wildly, suddenly became quiet.
He turned around and looked at Mei Qingyi. Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, dyeing Mei Qingyi's white clothes bright red like a rain of blood.
