Chapter 225 Eunuch Wei: Leave a Child (8000)
Xu Bai walked in front, Qingxue followed behind. The two walked in the spacious palace, talking from time to time.
In most parts of the palace, few people come and go, but there are many secrets hidden in the dark.
Along the way, the two walked slowly and talked a lot, mostly about the past.
"I never thought that at first I thought you could only reach the first level, but now you are an existence that I can't look up to." Qingxue crossed his hands and placed them on his lower abdomen, looking down at the ground.
She felt that at this time, she should find something to kick around, such as pebbles.
But the palace was very clean.
"Who would have thought?" Xu Bai smiled: "I didn't expect that I would be where I am now."
After getting the golden finger, what he thought about most was to find a place to lie down and slowly improve his liver clarity.
But I never thought that now I can no longer live in peace, but instead I have become a person known to the whole world.
"We're here." Qingxue stopped, and suddenly seemed to have made up her mind. She leaned into Xu Bai's ear, held Xu Bai's shoulders with her hands, and whispered: "The ninth princess is going to propose marriage to His Majesty. She wants to Your Majesty has decreed that you marry her."
After saying this, she took two steps back and said nothing more.
Xu Bai was stunned, this was beyond his expectation.
I thought that something else might happen during this trip, but I never expected that the Ninth Princess would actually want His Majesty to grant her a marriage.
What is this operation?
Xu Bai connected the two and remembered that when the emperor asked him how to divide the barbarian lands, he suddenly thought of the reason.
"I see, I finally understand what she means."
"She wants to use the matter of marrying me to improve her status, and then she can manage the barbarian fiefdom."
Xu Bai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Although he didn't know the clear result, he could hear what Emperor Chu meant when he communicated with him just now.
Basically, the choice is between the eldest prince and the ninth princess. As for the other prince members, they will not be considered.
And Emperor Chu said that the ninth princess was a woman, which proved that he still preferred the eldest prince.
In fact, no matter from any aspect, it is correct to favor the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was alone in the bloody battlefield at the border, and the dangers he paid were countless.
In terms of merit, the ninth princess really cannot be compared with the eldest prince.
But looking at the current situation, the Ninth Princess wanted to struggle and pull Xu Bai onto the boat.
"Your Majesty agreed?" Xu Bai asked.
Qingxue shook her head: "The princess has not gone there yet, but she has mentioned it to her majesty many times. It is said that your majesty also has this intention."
"I remember that His Majesty said at that time that you are already a member of the Chu Kingdom. If you marry another princess, you will be married to her."
Shit, kiss after kiss.
Xu Bai curled his lips.
As for the appearance of the Ninth Princess, she is also extremely beautiful, and she also has a noble and lazy aura.
For a man, it is an extremely happy thing to conquer such a noble and lazy beauty.
But Xu Bai didn't want to get involved in any factors, including the current situation. He didn't want to be a pawn to be used.
"Go in first." Xu Bai thought for a moment and said.
He has already thought of a countermeasure. When the time comes, he will explain it directly and refuse to agree.
Qingxue nodded lightly and continued to lead the way. After a while, the two of them arrived at the Ninth Princess's residence.
The door was tightly closed, and only two maids were guarding the door.
When they saw Xu Bai and Qingxue coming, the two maids opened the door, then lowered their eyes to the ground, not daring to look directly at Xu Bai.
There are many rules in the palace, and everyone in the palace has learned them.
The most important point is that maids like Xu Bai, a big shot like Xu Bai, must not look at him in the eye.
Xu Bai didn't care about this and strode in directly, with Qingxue following behind.
When the two of them walked in, Xu Bai saw the familiar table and the delicious food and wine on the table.
The Ninth Princess, dressed in yellow, put her elbows on the table, supported her head and looked at Xu Bai.
Due to the sideways posture, the waist has an amazing curvature up and down.
The light makeup on the face adds a bit of beauty, coupled with the noble and lazy temperament, and the slightly dim light around, the atmosphere is overwhelming.
"Prince Xu, please sit down." The ninth princess raised her hand and motioned Xu Bai to sit down.
Xu Bai was not polite and sat directly on it. Then he picked up the chopsticks next to him and was ready to eat.
Although when their strength reaches their level, it doesn't matter if they don't eat for a long time, but the desire for food is what everyone pursues.
He moved quickly and had no intention of speaking, as if this trip was just for eating.
Princess Ninth looked at the man in front of her who only knew how to eat, her eyes filled with excitement.
This man, with his extraordinary first-level skills, killed the ninth-level saint.
Now, the whole world knows him.
As long as his name is spoken, it will attract countless praises and admiration, and even countless people will follow his example.
The Ninth Princess really did not expect that Xu Bai, who was once born into a humble family, would now reach a status that even she could not reach.
But she was also very lucky that she didn't have an enmity with Xu Bai back then, which was why she was in this situation today.
"In this world, you are the only one who is worthy of me." Ninth Princess said suddenly.
Xu Bai's hand stretched out the chopsticks and stopped, feeling that he had lost all appetite in an instant.
"While you're eating, don't talk about such disgusting things."
The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "Am I a disgusting thing to you?"
Xu Bai nodded naturally: "Yes."
The Ninth Princess was stunned on the spot, her big eyes widened.
Such an answer made her immediately turn off the fire.
Xu Bai said slowly: "I know what you want, and I have already made suggestions to His Majesty, but this is your family matter after all, so I can only make some suggestions."
Instead of beating around the bush, he gets right to the point.
The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up: "Father...what did you say?"
Xu Bai took another bite of food: "He said you are a woman after all."
When the Ninth Princess heard this, her eyes dimmed instantly.
She picked up the jug next to her, poured herself a glass, and drank it. Because she drank too quickly, the wine overflowed her lips and flowed down her white neck.
Seeing this, Xu Bai paused for a moment and said: "With all due respect, whether it is in terms of achievements or other aspects, compared with you, the eldest prince is above you in everything, and cannot fall into your hands."
The Ninth Princess didn't answer and continued drinking.
After drinking three glasses in one go, she filled a glass for Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took a sip and smacked his lips.
Good wine, but not the people he drinks with.
"I have been waiting for this day, but I didn't expect that I still didn't get it." Ninth Princess said with a bitter smile.
Xu Bai casually picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped his mouth: "Don't you understand what I mean?"
Princess Ninth shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand.
Xu Bai stood up: "I just said, your ability is not as strong as the eldest prince, your achievements are not as high as the eldest prince, and you do not have the ability of the eldest prince to fight in the bloody battlefield. How can you compare with others?"
The words are crude but not crude, and every sentence speaks directly to the theme.
In Xu Bai's opinion, there is no need to fight about this thing, because the result is already determined, and you can't change it no matter how much you fight.
It is an ironclad fact that others are better than you.
The most important thing is that Emperor Chu is in good health and is not interested in engaging in internal fighting.
Besides, is a fiefdom really that important?
Of course, Xu Bai thought that the other party might really think it was important, so he didn't say this.
Ninth Princess said: "Maybe it's not so important to others, but it's very important to me."
Xu Bai said he didn't understand.
But there was no need for him to understand. This was not his business. He came here today to give Qingxue face, mainly to speak clearly.
Besides, he still said a kind word to the Ninth Princess at that time, but it was up to the emperor whether to listen or not.
Xu Bai stood up and prepared to leave.
"I know what you are thinking, but it is impossible for the two of us. You are too utilitarian and I don't like it."
After saying that, he went out directly.
He originally thought that Ninth Princess would stop him, but until Xu Bai walked out of the room, Ninth Princess didn't say a word.
Although I don't understand why, this is good for Xu Bai.
The matter was almost over, Xu Bai did not stop any longer and rushed directly towards the royal treasure house.
…
There are two soldiers guarding outside the royal treasury.
In the past, when he came over, two soldiers would stop him.
But today was different. Emperor Chu had already given the order, and when Xu Bai arrived, the two soldiers all looked at Xu Bai with respect.
"I've met Prince Xu!"
"Okay, okay!" Xu Bai responded one by one, and then walked up.
As soon as he walked in, he noticed something was wrong.
In the corner of this floor, Master Tianyin was sitting there alone, without seeing Ye Zi.
I haven’t seen him for such a long time, so of course I want to meet him, but why is there no one?
Xu Bai frowned slightly and walked towards Master Tianyin. Before he could speak, Master Tianyin spoke first.
"I know you want to find her, but it's not suitable now." Tianyinshi said.
"Now, one year is very close. Although she has reached the realm of transformation, she is now stuck at the most critical point. I have found a place for her to retreat."
"It won't be too late for you to meet again after you get out of quarantine."
The words had been spoken clearly, and Xu Bai had no more questions.
At first he thought there was some danger, but now it seems nothing happened.
"Then the junior will not disturb the senior." Xu Bai cupped his hands and said.
Tianyinshi curled his lips disdainfully: "You kid, you are quite good at talking. Why are you bothering me? You don't want me to bother you, right?"
Xu Bai was directly pointed out and didn't say anything, just smiled cheerfully.
"Okay, don't look at me with that smile." Master Tianyin waved his sleeves: "It's still the same as before, the food will be delivered to you, you can just pick it up yourself."
Xu Bai agreed, said nothing more, and walked directly to the top floor.
This time, he will finish all the books.
He has plenty of time and has nothing else to do recently, so when he comes out of isolation, it will definitely be a huge improvement.
Following the stairs, he went directly to the top floor. Looking at the various books inside and the golden progress bars all over the room, Xu Bai rubbed his hands.
"It's posted! It's posted!"
He was excited, feeling as if he had suddenly obtained tens of billions, but didn't know how to use them.
"It doesn't matter which book to start with, everyone has a share, it's you!" Xu Bai picked up a book at random and started reading.
The progress bar was growing slowly, the process was very boring, but he had already gotten used to it and enjoyed it...
...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, night came.
On the top floor of the royal treasury, Xu Bai lit the oil lamp, and under the light, he continued to look at the progress bar.
The windows were closed. At this time, except for the Tianyin Master on the bottom floor, Xu Bai was the only one in the entire royal treasury.
The quiet environment, accompanied by the sound of flipping books, Xu Bai enjoyed this quietness very much.
It is boring to grind the progress bar, but when it is boring, you have to find some fun. For example, now, when you are grinding, reading the whole book as a novel is also a good way to kill time.
The night is getting darker and darker, but Xu Bai has no intention of resting at this moment.
Time passed slowly, Xu Bai added oil to the oil lamp, and then continued the previous action.
At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
Looking over, Xu Bai saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
"Young Master." Ye Zi came slowly and gracefully, her face excited.
Xu Bai put down the book in his hand, slightly puzzled: "Didn't Master Tianyin say that you went into seclusion? Why did you come back suddenly?"
"I have successfully broken through the seclusion according to grandma's instructions." Ye Zi walked behind Xu Bai, stretched out her fair little hand, and gently massaged Xu Bai's shoulders.
"Grandma?"
Xu Bai frowned when he heard this title, "Don't you call him teacher?"
Xu Bai didn't expect Ye Zi to break through the seclusion. He didn't expect that it was so fast, but the most important thing was that the title seemed to have changed.
"She recognized me as her granddaughter, so our relationship has changed."
Ye Zi bent down slightly, her black hair floating on Xu Bai's face, making Xu Bai a little itchy.
The little mouth approached Xu Bai's ear, and a soft word came out.
"Sir, it's late, take a break..."
Smelling the familiar fragrance and listening to the soft voice beside my ear, I felt my ears itchy.
Xu Bai threw the book aside and hugged Ye Zi in his arms: "Then combine work and rest for a while..."
Well, combine work and rest, so that you won't be tired.
The oil lamp was shaking, and a sound was heard in this huge royal treasury...
"Hmm? Why does it feel a little wrong?" Xu Bai looked down and frowned.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Ye Zi stretched out his white arms and hugged Xu Bai.
"Why is there blood? Who are you!"
Xu Bai pinched Ye Zi's neck, his face gradually cold.
Ye Zi's face was pale, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"It's done."
Just two simple words, but Xu Bai already knew the other party's identity.
He stretched out his hand and groped Ye Zi's face for a while, and soon, he took off a human skin mask.
"This is one of the few masks of Kongkongmen. It is exactly the same as the one you wear. No one below the level of Saint will find it. By the way, my other business is Kongkongmen..."
The Ninth Princess stretched out her arm lazily, hooked Xu Bai's neck, and at the same time, leaned close to Xu Bai's ear: "Now, the rice has been cooked, everything is too late."
"Pah!"
Xu Bai slapped the Ninth Princess in the face, extremely gloomy.
I didn't expect that I would be pecked in the eyes by geese today after hunting geese all day.
The human skin masks of the Kongkongs can deceive very few people below the level of Saint, but I didn't expect that the Ninth Princess actually has one.
The most important thing is that the Ninth Princess actually knows the business of Kongkongmen and changed her body shape.
To be honest, this is really something Xu Bai didn't expect. He thought that he would be assassinated for this reason, and the assassination would have no effect on him because his recovery ability is extremely strong.
But who could have thought that it was just to change the body shape to do these things with him.
This is... really speechless!
The Ninth Princess was slapped, but she was not angry, instead she smiled more and more brilliantly.
"Tianyinshi, I need a reason!" Xu Bai put on his clothes and looked at the corner of the room.
The Ninth Princess also put on her clothes and leaned towards Xu Bai at the same time.
In the corner, the old woman Tianyinshi came out.
Xu Bai thought about this matter for a long time, and it must be related to Tianyinshi.
The keeper of the royal treasury is this old woman Tianyinshi. With her here, the Ninth Princess can't come up even if she pretends to be Ye Zi.
Now it seems that she not only knows the situation, but also allows it.
Xu Bai's fingers are covered with a layer of knife light.
No matter who you are, if you dare to plot against me, then be prepared to be taught a lesson.
You haven't become a saint, it's good that you haven't become a saint, I can kill you with one knife.
The murderous aura on Xu Bai's body is constantly flowing.
Tianyinshi smiled bitterly and said, "Xu boy, I know what you are thinking, but this matter has nothing to do with me. If you really want to know, go and ask Eunuch Wei."
Eunuch Wei?
The sword energy on Xu Bai's hand dissipated, and the whole person stood there like a piece of wood.
The white arm wrapped around him, and the Ninth Princess leaned on Xu Bai's chest and smiled: "Although I am a Kong Kong Sect trade, even with my identity, I can't find the few human skin masks in the world. This is given to me by Eunuch Wei."
Xu Bai's expression became extremely complicated. He turned his head to look at the bloodstains of the Ninth Princess. He suddenly pulled the Ninth Princess' wrist and rushed out of the royal treasury.
After leaving the royal treasury, he did not stop, but walked towards the residence of Eunuch Wei.
The Ninth Princess was pulled by him and stumbled all the way, but Xu Bai had no intention of sympathizing with her, even though the two had just done something.
Soon, he took the Ninth Princess to the residence of Eunuch Wei.
The eunuchs guarding the door did not dare to stop them. The two in front of them were both very high-ranking figures in the palace.
Xu Bai pulled the Ninth Princess and rushed in all the way, shouting as he walked: "Eunuch Wei, you must give me an explanation today."
Even if it was Eunuch Wei, whom he respected, he could not cheat him on such a thing!
A gust of wind blew, and Eunuch Wei stood in the corner with a hunched body.
When he saw the two people in front of him, he did not answer Xu Bai's question, but asked the Ninth Princess.
"Is it done?"
The Ninth Princess nodded gently, and the smile on her lips could not be suppressed.
Seeing this, Xu Bai was ready to speak.
What happened?
He was confused now, okay?
Eunuch Wei pointed to the room behind him: "Let's go in and talk."
Xu Bai didn't hesitate and went straight into the room. The Ninth Princess was also taken in by him.
Eunuch Wei was the last to enter the room. After closing the door, he said.
"Now, our last wish has finally come true."
Xu Bai: "?"
What kind of thing is this? Why is what happened tonight getting more and more mysterious?
He didn't say anything, just staring at Eunuch Wei, meaning he wanted to know what was going on.
Eunuch Wei said: "We did this just to give you and the Ninth Princess a common benefit."
Xu Bai: "?"
This was his second question mark tonight.
Eunuch Wei continued to explain: "This is what happened..."
With Eunuch Wei's explanation, Xu Bai finally figured out the whole story.
He finally knew why the Ninth Princess had to be crowned a king.
As a member of the royal family, the Ninth Princess managed all the business and finances of the Great Chu State.
To manage this well, she must understand the origin of each business.
Each business is a trade. So far, the Ninth Princess has learned dozens of trades.
Everyone knows that the only way out is to specialize in one trade.
Learning more will delay progress. Unless you are a genius, no one will do this, except Xu Bai.
The Ninth Princess has learned dozens of trades, but so far, she is still only at the seventh level, and is far from the Transcendental Realm.
And because she has learned so many trades, her life span has actually decreased.
If she doesn't think of a way to break through, it may be equivalent to the life span of an ordinary person at most.
If she specializes in one of them now, it will not work. Dozens of trades are connected to each other, and there is no way to specialize in one.
Therefore, there is only one trade in front of the Ninth Princess.
——Emperor!
Emperor or King.
This trade is the most peculiar and unique trade.
As long as you become an emperor, you can inherit the luck and directly improve your realm, and the realm you improve is related to the area you govern.
The stronger the region, the stronger the strength.
Even if the Ninth Princess learns dozens of trades, it will not have any impact.
So the Ninth Princess must get this fiefdom, otherwise her life span will be a very troublesome problem.
"So this is what happened." Eunuch Wei said: "They all grew up in our family, and we can't let them die. The eldest prince has lost his fiefdom, but he often fights on the battlefield and has other places to go. Moreover, our family is more for your good."
After the barbarians attack in the future, the eldest prince can completely take over the position of King Shengyou and become the military power in the barbarian area, which is not inferior to the king of the fiefdom.
After listening to it, Xu Bai frowned and said, "For my good?"
After the explanation, he also understood that he knew that the Ninth Princess did this to help him get the fiefdom.
But he was confused by the latter sentence.
For his good, what does it mean?
Eunuch Wei smiled and asked: "You and Ye Zi often have sex, right?"
Xu Bai's face became slightly embarrassed.
To be honest, he regarded Eunuch Wei as an elder, and now that the elder asked him these things, of course he would feel embarrassed.
But since the question was asked, he nodded honestly.
Eunuch Wei continued: "Have you taken all kinds of precautions?"
Xu Bai shook his head.
He really didn't do this thing well.
Men, all like this feeling.
Eunuch Wei said: "That's right."
"What's right?" Xu Bai became more and more confused as he listened.
Eunuch Wei laughed: "No precautions, but why is Ye Zi not pregnant now? The problem is ultimately with you?"
"Have you ever thought that it is impossible for such a fierce person in the industry not to get pregnant? Our family invited a special doctor to secretly check you when you were unaware."
"You have learned too much, which is the reason for this result, so the ninth princess can help you..."
"Wait!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Bai interrupted the rest of the words.
He showed a helpless expression on his face: "Eunuch Wei, you planned all this just because of this matter, right? This... whether to have a child or not, this should be my own decision."
He could see that at this moment, Eunuch Wei was like an elder who was urging marriage and childbirth, but this method was a bit too radical.
"We are doing this for your own good." Eunuch Wei said: "It not only solves the problem of the Ninth Princess, but also solves your problem. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
Xu Bai: "(_)"
He only has this expression now, nothing else.
It's uncomfortable.
Speechless!
"Don't look at us with such eyes." Eunuch Wei waved his hand: "It's best to leave a seed. While we are still young, we can help you take care of it."
"Besides, the Ninth Princess also agreed to this matter. She, a woman, agreed. You, a young man who got a bargain, what are you worried about?"
Xu Bai felt that if he was not a man of blood, he would have burst into tears by now.
What could he say?
He couldn't say anything now, because Eunuch Wei even wanted to take care of his child.
Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the Ninth Princess beside him: "Princess, I think our union is not quite accurate."
The meaning behind his words is that a union without feelings is not a real union.
"Why?" The Ninth Princess smiled, her eyes bright and her teeth white: "I said that you are the only man in the world who deserves me. I am willing, why don't you want to?"
"You said before that I can only be a concubine. I am willing to do the same, and Ye Zi is also willing, because I have talked to her about this issue."
In fact, in the opinion of the Ninth Princess, this trip is certainly to solve her own problems, but more importantly, she herself does not reject Xu Bai.
The royal family members have their own pride. If they do something they don't like for this life, she will never do it.
But Xu Bai is different. It can be said that she has seen all of Xu Bai's experiences.
From a grassroots to the current position, everything along the way is legendary.
Just like men like beautiful women, women also like heroes.
So the Ninth Princess not only does not resist, but even thinks it is natural.
Xu Bai rubbed his forehead.
He knew that it was normal to have three wives and four concubines in this world, and Ye Zi would definitely agree, but the sudden moment today made him a little overwhelmed.
Eunuch Wei patted Xu Bai on the shoulder: "Some things can be figured out if you think about it, and you are not young anymore. Think about it, at your age, many people have already started a family and have children."
Xu Bai: "(_)"
Just now I felt a fear of urging a baby, and now I feel a fear of urging marriage. Why do I have to feel this when I am in this position!
I am Prince Xu!
"I'm leaving first, I need to think about it carefully." Xu Bai felt that too many things happened this night, and he needed to go back and sort it out.
Eunuch Wei did not keep them and sent them to the door.
Xu Bai walked very fast, but there was a tail behind him.
The Ninth Princess followed closely, and the two gradually walked away...
...
After the two walked away, Eunuch Wei returned to his room and coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, I really don't understand why you do this?"
At the end of the corner, the Emperor Chu quietly walked out with a smile on his face.
When Eunuch Wei and Xu Bai came back, they both went to the emperor's study, but Xu Bai left first.
Eunuch Wei said that he had something to discuss with the Emperor Chu, and that was this matter.
Eunuch Wei would definitely not do this alone, but with the Emperor Chu, the two of them did it.
If Xu Bai were here, he would definitely shout at the two old foxes, especially the Emperor Chu!
At the beginning, the Emperor Chu vaguely revealed to Xu Bai that his tendency to favor boys over girls was to paralyze Xu Bai.
In fact, all of this was his idea, and the ultimate goal was to give the barbarian tribe to the Ninth Princess.
"Isn't this good?" The Emperor of Chu said with a smile: "Think about it, with Xu Bai, giving the place to the Ninth Princess is the real legitimate reason."
Eunuch Wei shook his head: "Your Majesty, my family knows you best. If you really want to give the fief to the Ninth Princess, you won't do this at all. You only need to say one word, and the eldest prince dare not disobey, and even won't complain."
The implication is that the Emperor of Chu must have a deep meaning for what happened tonight, and even Eunuch Wei is not clear.
"Eunuch Wei, you don't even understand what I mean, and you dare to do it. Aren't you afraid of harming Xu Bai?" The Emperor of Chu said.
Eunuch Wei laughed: "Your Majesty, I guess you don't have time to protect him, how could you harm him, the topic is far away again, Your Majesty, you really don't want to hide this matter."
The smile on the face of the Emperor of Chu gradually faded, and he stared at Eunuch Wei without speaking.
But in the room, a sense of solemnity is gradually spreading.
Eunuch Wei straightened his back and looked directly at the Emperor of Chu.
The two looked at each other for several minutes, and then the King of Chu looked away and shook his head helplessly.
He knew that besides being a stickler for rules, Eunuch Wei was also very persistent. If he didn't tell him tonight, Eunuch Wei might find other ways to find out.
"Your Majesty, it is our honor to share the king's worries." Eunuch Wei bowed.
"Alas..."
The King of Chu sighed.
"Since you really want to know, I will tell you everything."
Golden light appeared from the body of the Emperor Chu, sealing off the surroundings tightly, so that the words of the two could not be heard.
A new volume will soon begin, this is the beginning.
