C126 (2/2)
This courtyard was a mysterious existence within the Prime Minister's Estate, and was said to be a mysterious pavilion established by the Old General Bai. There were many secrets of the Bai Family here, including the blood bead s that the people of the world were always trying to find.
Everyone had always thought that the blood bead of the Bai Family was hidden in the ancestral hall, but in reality, it was hidden in this unique Frost Pavilion.
But no one, from the to the servants, had ever entered this mysterious courtyard. And the only way to enter the Ice Shrouding Snow Pavilion was old general's courtyard and the key in his hand.
Of course, there was also the terrifying mechanism array on the way. It was comparable to Mo Yuxuan of the Royal Family. Furthermore, there were experts from the seven families who had been protecting the blood bead of the Bai Family for generations.
If you want to enter the Ice Shrouding Snow Pavilion, then you must have the strength to do so.
It was said that before, a scout recklessly infiltrated Prime Minister's Estate for the sake of the blood bead s that wanted to steal the Prime Minister's Estate. He didn't expect that once he touched the mechanisms in the courtyard of Old General Bai, he would immediately lose his life.
In the following years, the Old General Bai moved away from the Li Residence. The martial artists secretly investigated, but still could not find the location of the mysterious courtyard.
Now, the mysterious courtyard seemed to have vanished.
However, this year, the ancestors had predicted that the Phoenixis Maiden would appear, and the world had already begun to stir again. The eyes of the world returned to the Prime Minister's Estate, which was an inconspicuous place, because of the attack on the Drizzle Court last night.
Right now, the Prime Minister's Estate was at the heart of the struggle, and there were always people monitoring it, whether it was on the surface or in the shadows.
Bai Zhixi sat in the pavilion in the middle of the pond, quietly listening to Zi Li talk about everything related to the mysterious courtyard. When his eyes touched the clear spring water in the pond, a strand of memories regarding the Frostbite Snow Pavilion suddenly flashed across his mind, and he somewhat remembered that he seemed to have been here. However, everything happened too fast for her to catch, so she closed her eyes with a slight headache.
Seeing her like this, Zi Li thought that she had a headache, so he went up to rub her temples.
”Zi Li, is there any news of Jun Mohan?”
A happy smile flowed down the corner of Bai Zhixi's mouth as he openly asked this question.
She had only left him for three days, and she already missed him a little.
They had already agreed that after settling the matters in the mansion, they would go out for sightseeing. Even if he were to return to the modern world in the future, there would be no regrets.
”Miss, everything is fine in Prince Mo.”
Hearing her ask that, Zi Li was startled, thinking about the rumors outside, his heart hesitated, not knowing if he should tell the young miss.
If not for the fact that young miss's blood can cure the poison, that Prince Mo was poisoned to such an extent, she would have been separated from young miss already. But if xiaojie knew the rumors outside, her capital would certainly not be at peace.
Furthermore, they were locked in this place by the Old General Bai, so not even a single bird could fly in.
Today, after searching the whole courtyard and not finding the entrance, she had the feeling that she was not moving at all. She must have been set up by an array formation set up by the old general;
”What's wrong?”
Bai Zhixi looked at Zi Li's little face which was wrinkled to the point that it looked like a bun, which made him grind his teeth in anger.
It was her first time seeing Zi Li's expression, how could this naive little girl have such thoughts?
”Miss, I'm telling you, Prince Mo, he …”
”Zi Li...”
Zi Li had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by the man with a deep voice.
When he raised his head, he saw Old General Bai walking over with a dark expression. His white hair was extremely eye-catching.
”Grandpa …”
Bai Zhixi whispered. She initially wanted to run into his embrace, but her legs couldn't help but stand in place, not moving an inch.
The events of that day were still fresh in her mind. Looking at the cold and indifferent Old General Bai, she did not know what to say. Was he here to blame her?
”Grandfather, you must believe me, I really didn't harm Auntie Du. No matter how vicious I, Bai Zhixi, am, will harm a child that has not been born. ”I …”
Bai Zhixi explained carefully. At this moment, she was a little panicked, she just did not want the person she was closest to to to misunderstand.
”Xi Er, you suffered a lot in these past few days, all because your grandfather was useless and did not protect you well. Of course, I know that you're not that kind of person, but the situation that day was critical. If Grandpa didn't do that, your Third Aunt and the others wouldn't have let you go. Princess Pingyang is one of the empress dowager's people. If I lean towards you and accidentally killed Uncle Situ's daughter, An Lan, by Lan Yi, the empress dowager will definitely denounce you for your crimes. If you get locked up in the imperial family's prison, then Grandpa will have no ability to save you. ”
Old General Bai looked at the pale Bai Zhixi who was standing with his hands behind his back.
Now that his power had been handed over and the world was beginning to stir, he didn't know if he was doing the right thing or not.
The only thing he could do was lock her in a place where no one could find her. Once the world was stable, perhaps she would still have a life.
”Grandfather, I'm sorry. It's because my granddaughter was unfilial that she brought you so much trouble.”
The grievances she had hidden in her heart immediately dispersed. She immediately sobbed. She did not know that this old man had once changed his hair from black to white for her sake. How could she not feel sad?
