C145 (1/2)
In the Palace of Tzu Ning, the empress dowager lay on the soft ground with her eyes closed, listening to the eunuch at the side who reported everything that had happened in the hall.
When she heard that Bai Zhixi's mother, Ye Shixue, was the Queen of Southern Frontier, she frowned, then suddenly threw the black cat in her hands out, smashing it heavily into the flower pot.
The black cat let out a shriek and disappeared from the palace, leaving the servant lying on the cold ground not daring to breathe.
”So it really is her. No wonder she's so outstanding!”
The empress dowager murmured softly. Her gaze turned cold as she broke the beautiful rose in her hands.
Her two slender fingers were stabbed by a sharp thorn, and fresh red blood flowed down, drop by drop, onto the ground. However, she was completely unaware of it.
He could only silently stare in the direction of the throne room, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
Inside the throne room, old general talked endlessly about Bai Zhixi's parents.
Everyone knew that the Ye Family back then was a small family with a Dongjun Kingdom far superior to Luo Yang's. However, their family had two daughters that were as beautiful as flowers.
The eldest daughter, Ye Shixue, knew her place and was extremely talented. She was extremely intelligent and was known as the number one beauty in Dongjun Kingdom.
Her second daughter, Ye Shishuang, was an outstanding beauty, a heroine who did not yield to women. Although her appearance was the same, she was a completely different kind of woman from Ye Shixue.
Back then, the Emperor was still with Bai Zhixi's father, Bai Xuanyi, and the others when they descended to Luoyang. They coincidentally met this pair of beautiful sisters.
The world only knew that at that time, when the Crown Prince, Qing Qing, had returned from Luoyang, he had had this pair of beautiful sisters by his side.
However, at that time when the emperor was in critical condition, the various princes and powers were all ready to make a move. Dong Aoqing had his heart set on the imperial government and was not in the mood to be a girl.
At this time, Situ Lan borrowed the Situ Family's power to try his best to support Dong Aoqing and help him stabilize this dangerous situation.
In these three years, Dong Aoqing successfully ascended the throne to become emperor, but he did not bestow the title of imperial concubine.
When the situation stabilized, he finally remembered that the woman he liked the most was actually in love with someone else. This person was Ye Shixue, Bai Zhixi's mother.
But Ye Shishuang, with her strong personality, a mere Dongjun Kingdom was not enough to keep her in her heart. It was said that she met the most important person in her life, and went for a sightseeing trip.
After Dong Aoqing found out about the matter between Ye Shixue and Bai Xuanyi, he was so angry that he couldn't care about the objection of the old official in the imperial court anymore and ordered for Ye Shixue to be taken into the imperial harem as his imperial concubine.
On the night that they picked up Ye Shixue and entered the palace, Ye Shixue and Bai Xuanyi ran off and angered Dong Aoqing. The entire city was looking for Ye Shixue and Bai Xuanyi. This battle had lasted for at least a year.
However, the two of them seemed to have disappeared without a trace, leaving no traces of them in the world.
Dong Aoqing had also married Situ Lan, so she was adopted by the heavens.
In the same year, he had taken in four concubines, borrowing their swords to fill up the previously deserted harem.
So much so that later on, with three thousand beauties in the harem, he might slowly begin to hate Bai Zhixi's parents.
However, three years later, on the day the Emperor withdrew from the arrest warrant, Bai Zhixi's parents returned.
At that time, Bai Zhixi's mother was already pregnant. On the night of their delivery, witch church had found out where they lived and cruelly murdered Bai Zhixi's parents.
”Old General Bai, all of these things that you have said are known by the entire world. They can only prove that Bai Zhixi was actually born in my Dongjun Kingdom.
Uncle Situ looked coldly at Old General Bai. Thinking about how his sister had been wronged, he couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart.
If it wasn't for that year's mother, her sister would already be sitting in the back seat. He could have married Ye Shishuang in broad daylight and wouldn't have let her fall into poverty, and be cruelly killed by the kidnappers in the end.
Everything was because of Ye Shixue. He had lived for so many years …
”Uncle Situ Guo, I haven't even finished telling you my story. Why are you so anxious to kill my Bai Family? Are you afraid that your secret will be leaked?”
The Old General Bai shot a cold glance at him, his cold eyes were like countless sharp swords, aimed straight at everyone.
”Old General Bai is joking, this uncle of mine is always so open and honest, how could there be a secret behind it?” I just want to remind Old General Bai that you are not worthy of the charge of colluding with the enemy. ”
Situ Guo glared at Old General Bai and angrily flung his sleeves. A trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes, it was so fast that no one could catch it.
He covered up the shock in his heart and pretended to lightly look at Dong Aoqing who was high above. In a place where no one was looking, he tightly clenched his fists. He did not dare to let go, afraid that his hands would drip cold sweat onto the ground.
”Old General Bai, we are also very curious, how did Bai Zhixi become the princess of Southern Frontier!”
Dong Aoqing sat on the high seat with a gloomy face, as if it was going to rain in May.
He clearly remembered that rainy night when he rushed to the Lovers Lake in the western suburbs. Seeing the two of them kissing in the rain, his heart felt as if it was being sliced by a knife.
If it wasn't for Situ Lan holding onto him tightly, he definitely would have killed the dog couple.
Ever since he had met Ye Shixue, her understanding and gentleness had caused his heart to palpitate. He confided his thoughts to her, and she laughed them off.
