"First of all, he didn't remember his head injury, so how could I know? Secondly, he was taken away later, and it was related to the royal family. How could I tell anyone about it?" Bai Banxia gave him another roll of the eyes, "
Also, don’t talk nonsense about seizing the direct descendant, he has no interest in that position, and neither do I!”
The great elder calmed down and looked at her with squinted eyes. Seeing that her expression was serious and calm, it seemed that what she said was true.
"There are not many princes left now. Even if he doesn't want to, he can't escape," the elder said.
"I heard that the current emperor is not very old, so he can have a few more sons to raise, right?" Bai Banxia didn't even know that she and Qi Zhen wanted to go together.
The First Elder said nothing, "Have you really never thought of using Xuanji Hall to help him seize the throne? I know that the Seventh Prince has approached Luomei Pavilion, and Luo Mei Pavilion is interested in the throne."
Bai Banxia sneered, "Isn't that just right? Let them go."
The corner of the elder's mouth twitched. Why did he think Bai Banxia disliked the throne?
"What are the benefits of being an emperor? From the perspective of Qizhen, you have to deal with government affairs every day, go to court and listen to the quarrels of ministers, and coordinate the relationship between various family forces. Isn't it tiring? How many emperors have lived a long life?
I don’t even have any freedom, and I’m so tired that I’m going to age prematurely.”
Bai Banxia continued: "From my perspective, if he becomes the emperor, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to be the queen. I might be killed by some force. Even if I don't die, the emperor's harem will have three thousand people."
They are all about balancing various forces, and I want to watch my man accompany other women every day?"
She sneered, "I told Qi Zhen that he was not allowed to take concubines when he married me. If he has another woman, I will divorce him and recruit a new son-in-law."
The great elder was speechless after hearing this, but nodded again after a while and said: "With your talent, it is naturally impossible for you to spend your time and energy on competing for favor."
"I admit that I need the power of Xuanjitang and I have selfish motives. I need background and more cards to protect myself, but I will not participate in government affairs, nor will I use Xuanjitang's power to take risks." Bai Banxia said seriously.
said.
The great elder did not speak, and seemed to have been thinking for a long time, considering whether Bai Banxia's current status was suitable for him to be the heir.
After a long while, he finally spoke again, "I can let you continue to participate in the test. If you pass, you can become the leader of Xuanji Hall, but..."
He lengthened his voice and said, "If your man becomes the emperor, you can no longer be the leader."
"Okay, I have no objection." Bai Banxia said.
"I will convince others. Someone from Xuanji Hall will also contact you on the way this time. The third test will not be too long, so you have to be prepared. Also, the questions for the third test are still assessments.
None of them are me." The great elder said.
Bai Banxia felt that it might not be any of the elders in Xuanji Hall she had seen. She asked, "Who is that?"
"You will know when the time comes, but you must be cautious, otherwise if something goes wrong, I won't be able to help you." The great elder said.
"If you can't help, you can't help. The worst is wrong. You can find another heir." Bai Banxia shrugged his shoulders and said.
"You..." the elder said angrily, "Gungun, don't be an eyesore here."
Bai Banxia left with a smile, and then checked in with the manager of Xuanji Hall. I'm afraid she won't be able to complete the consultation task this month.
"Doctor Bai, there are Xuanji Halls in several cities on the way to Beijing. If it's convenient, you can have a consultation on the way, or you can make up your time at the Xuanji Hall in central Beijing," the steward reminded.
"Okay, thank you for reminding me." Bai Banxia thanked him and immediately went to find Sun Ci.
Sun Ci had already gotten the news about what the Great Elder knew, and he brought a small box to her as soon as he saw her.
"Take this, this is the dowry that my wife and I are giving you." Sun Ci said.
Bai Banxia opened it and saw that it was a box of jewelry, each of which was valuable. How could she dare to accept it?
"No, no, it's too expensive." Bai Banxia wanted to push it back.
But Sun Ci had a straight face, "Why don't you recognize us if you want to be a princess? You don't have any jewelry. Aren't you going to the capital to make people laugh? Put it away quickly so that no one can see it."
Seeing what he said, Bai Banxia couldn't push him back, so she gave him a lot of medicine.
"When I'm away, you should lose your temper less and don't cause trouble." Bai Banxia laughed and teased him, "If I become the heir of Xuanji Hall, I can still protect you, but before that,
You have to take care of yourself."
"Ouch, my dignified fifth elder is still using you to protect me? Don't be shy, the last test will not be easy to pass." Sun Ci lowered his voice, "I heard that the examiner is a particularly respected senior who holds a high position.
.”
Bai Banxia nodded, "I will deal with it carefully."
In the evening, Bai Tian and the others also went to meet Aunt Li and his wife, as well as the Liu family and his son, and they all arranged to have a meal at Zuixianlou.
They continued their journey early the next morning. Unexpectedly, Du Kangcheng was also escorted into the team and was actually with them.
Du Hui cried and thanked Bai Banxia, "Panaxia, thank you very much."
"Don't thank me, I really can't arrange this." Bai Banxia explained.
"It must be because of you, Mr. Fu Yin, that I can accompany my father all the way. Thank you." Du Hui thanked him again.
Bai Banxia asked Xue Bingfu privately, and Xue Bingfu said that Du Kangcheng was impeached by someone, mainly because of the collapse of the Notre Dame Temple. Some censors said that he preyed on the people, causing heavy casualties to the local people.
Yin Shan knew about this, so he did not embarrass Du Kangcheng. Before he returned to Beijing to be tried and convicted, he would not be considered a criminal as long as he did not escape, so there was no harm in following Bai Banxia's team.
"I understand, thank you Master Xue." Bai Banxia thanked Xue Bingfu.
Xue Bingfu hurriedly returned the greeting, "Doctor Bai, you are too polite. This is what you should do."
Because he reunited with his father, Du Hui also had a smile on his face. Du Kangcheng thought that apart from changing his civilian clothes and looking simpler, he didn't change much.
But just like that, something unexpected happened two days later.
A group of men in black suddenly attacked out of nowhere, and the officers and soldiers naturally protected Bai Banxia and the others. In the chaos, the men in black actually found Du Kangcheng and said they would rescue him.
"No matter who arranged it for you, Du is grateful, but if Du doesn't leave, you should retreat quickly," Du Kangcheng said.
I didn't want to think about it, but the other party said: "Scholar people are stubborn."
After saying that, he suddenly took action and knocked Du Kangcheng unconscious, then carried him away and left.
Du Hui was so frightened that she reacted and shouted: "Help, the gangsters have kidnapped my father!"
Bai Banxia jumped out of the carriage. She suddenly thought of Xue Bingfu's words: As long as Du Kangcheng doesn't escape, he is not a criminal. These people said they were saving him, but didn't that mean he intended to escape?
