The national teacher is not Daji

The monarch's health improved day by day, and Bai Sujiu finally felt relieved.Jun Nanheng sneaked into the hall every three days to change the talisman papers, and Bai Sujiu taught him 'one leaf blinding eyes', so there must be nothing wrong.

Bai Sujiu trimmed Ah Nian's hair and bought a new set of clothes, which made him look more energetic.Prince Xia Houzan came to visit A ​​Nian quietly, seeing that he was well taken care of by Bai Sujiu, his joy cannot be expressed in words.

"National Teacher, how long will Father Huang live?" Xia Houzan suddenly asked such a question while chatting.

Bai Sujiu was startled, and then said helplessly, "How do I know, I'm not a fortune teller."

Realizing his abruptness, Xia Houzan quickly apologized in embarrassment, and then chatted with Bai Sujiu about other things.

"National teacher, the palace is not peaceful recently. Concubine Li died suddenly a few days ago, and concubine An died of a sudden illness. I heard rumors in the harem that they killed each other for favor. Concubine Li is the biological mother of King Huaining." , Recently, he went to his father to ask for an explanation, but he was restrained. I don't know about this, what do you think of the national teacher?" Xia Houzan asked cautiously.

Bai Sujiu frowned, thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be distracted by this matter. The battle in the harem is like a fight between trapped beasts, so fierce that no blood will be seen. His Highness is the heir apparent, and should put state affairs first. Now that the monarch is about to recover but still allows you to assist the country, it seems that His Majesty is paving the way for your succession in the future."

Xia Houzan was silent for a long time, and finally only said lightly: "The national teacher is right, I'm sorry for the national teacher." Then reluctantly said goodbye to Ah Nian and left.

After Xia Houzan left, Bai Sujiu began to recall what he said.When Xiahou Zan mentioned the death of the concubine in the harem, he was afraid he meant something.Most likely, he wanted to remind Bai Sujiu that the evil forces in this palace have not been eradicated.However, Bai Sujiu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why the evil forces killed a few concubines?Just because Concubine Li is the biological mother of King Huaining?It shouldn't be.King Huaining is domineering and eccentric, and he has not been favored by the monarch since he was a child. He is the least favored one in the battle for succession. Even the docile King An Jin is valued more than him.So what happened to Concubine Li, there is only a very small possibility that it was done by evil ways.Perhaps Xia Houzan was too sensitive.

"Ah..." Ah Nian suddenly grabbed Bai Sujiu's skirt, and held up a piece of paper with flickering eyes.

Bai Sujiu took the paper from Ah Nian's hand, and saw that he had written several generous "Xie" characters, but the handwriting seemed very regular.

"Not bad, you are a quick learner. Just like your brother, he is also studious." Bai Sujiu smiled and rubbed Ah Nian's head.

Ah Nian laughed happily, his fair cheeks were full of childishness.

Bai Sujiu looked at Ah Nian with indescribable bitterness in her heart.A child of this age, who has committed so many crimes but still has such a pure smile, I don't know whether it is cruel or fortunate.

"Come on, I'll teach you a few more words..." Bai Sujiu handed the brush to Ah Nian, holding his hand and began to write stroke by stroke.

"Yes, one side, one side... very good..." Bai Sujiu said with a smile on his face. He looked at A Nian's serious side face, and suddenly paused for a while.

So familiar... This feeling is so familiar.Bai Sujiu's fingers trembled inexplicably.Ah Nian looked up at Bai Sujiu in a daze, and was stunned to see him shed tears for some reason.

"No...no..." Ah Nian tried his best to raise his hand to wipe Bai Sujiu's tears, full of panic.

Bai Sujiu wiped her face, looked at the water stains on her palms, and said to herself after being dazed for a long time, "What's wrong with me...it must be because I didn't sleep well."

"I feel... I feel..." Ah Nian put down his pen, pulled Bai Sujiu's sleeve and pointed to the bed.

Bai Sujiu smiled: "Okay, I'll take a nap. The dignified national teacher suddenly burst into tears in front of you, a baby, and it seemed that I was so old that my eyes were full of vicissitudes."

"Benefactor, you are quite old..." Bai Chenke said quietly in the corner.

"What nonsense, how can my age be calculated by mortals... I must be the young one among the demon foxes. And don't keep calling me benefactor. You can call the teacher, the venerable, or Bai Sujiu." Bai Sujiu He snorted coldly, flicked his shoes and socks and jumped onto the couch.

Bai Chenke helped Bai Sujiu straighten his shoes helplessly, then retreated to the dark place to read a book.Bai Sujiu saw how hard it was for him to hide from the sun, so she closed the window and drew the curtains.

Bai Sujiu squinted her eyes, quietly looked at A Nian who was sitting in front of the couch fanning him earnestly, and then glanced at Bai Chenke who was gently helping him tidy up the desk, and smiled involuntarily...

A few more weeks passed, and it was autumn.Bai Qiwu had nothing to do and made a swing out of rattan. While swinging on the swing, Jun Nanheng asked Bai Sujiu under the tree, "Bai Sujiu, how long do I have to stay with you?"

"How do I know? Ask your master." Bai Sujiu replied calmly.

Jun Nanheng pouted, and asked again: "Then teach me spells."

"I'm not your master..." Bai Sujiu glared at him, then withdrew her gaze and continued to draw on the scroll.

"I worship you as my teacher, you can teach me spells." Jun Nanheng asked cheekily again.

"Don't you have a master? Why, it's unreliable to dislike the real Ruan Kong?" Bai Sujiu didn't look up, and packed up the marked books, intending to send them to the prince.

"Master, he never taught me spells... I learned everything I knew secretly. Master always said that I was still young..." Jun Nanheng swung sullenly.

"Take it easy! I'll hit you if you swing! I'm waiting for Ah Nian to play! Take him out quickly." Bai Qiwu stretched out a branch and slapped Xiang Jun Nanheng on the head.

"Oh..." Jun Nanheng jumped off the swing and ran into the house to find Ah Nian.

Bai Sujiu had almost finished sorting the books, and was about to put them into the bookcase, when she heard a loud noise from outside the courtyard door.

"I want to see the national teacher! Let go of me, I want to see the national teacher!" One person was yelling loudly, with a cry in his voice.

Bai Sujiu frowned, casually picked up the cloak on the back of the chair and draped it over her body, walked forward slowly, and pushed open the courtyard door.

I saw Huaining King Xiahou Xun being held up by the guards, howling and struggling like a little wolf cub.

"National teacher! Please help me, please!" Xia Houxun cried out, making a gesture to kneel for Bai Sujiu.

Bai Sujiu took a quick step forward, pinched King Huaining's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "My lord, come in and talk."

The guards had no choice but to let go of the crazy King Huaining.Xia Houxun almost lost his strength and was carried into the courtyard by Bai Sujiu.

"National teacher, my mother is dead." Xia Houxun's eyes were red, and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Bai Sujiu was silent, and replied after a long time: "My minister knows. Your condolences."

"National teacher! My mother died in vain! She must have died in vain! My mother promised me that she will accompany me to grow old! National teacher, please help me, tell me who killed my mother, I want revenge, I want Avenge my mother!" Xia Houxun burst into tears, and tremblingly grabbed Bai Sujiu's sleeve almost like a growl.

Bai Sujiu looked at Xia Houxun indifferently, raised her hand slightly, but didn't know what to say.

"People cannot be resurrected after death, and I don't know how to divination. But there is one thing I know..." Bai Sujiu took out a handkerchief and wiped Xia Houxun's tears: "If your mother had a spirit in the sky, seeing you in such a mess , will definitely be heartbroken and weep for you."

Xia Houxun froze, the last light in his eyes dissipated little by little, leaving only infinite loneliness.

"National teacher... Mother loves me very much." Xia Houxun murmured like a dream.

"En." Bai Sujiu straightened his hair crown for him, and replied in a deep voice.

"Father, he has never liked me, nor did he dote on my concubine mother. Although I have a title, I haven't been granted a land for a long time. My mother suddenly fell ill the year before last, and her body became weaker every day. I told my concubine, When I have my own fief, I beg my father to let me take her away and stay in the fief to recuperate. What kind of battle in the harem, my mother and concubine will not get involved, and I will not fight for the throne. I just want...to ask for a piece sooner Fengdi took her away...why didn't she wait for me..." Xia Houxun was talking, and finally squatted on the ground limp and howled.

Bai Sujiu looked at Xia Houxun, and suddenly recalled that Prince Xia Houzan had cried like this before.The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to support but the relatives don't wait.How many important people, people who have been thinking about taking care of them all their lives, their voices and smiles are still in front of them, but when they look back, they disappear.For the rest of the day, I can only taste the pain alone.

Bai Sujiu squatted down and whispered to Xia Houxun: "King Huaining, some things are destined to be unchangeable. I seem to have lost a lot of people too. It's just that those things are so long ago that I feel like I have lost my memory. Memories are nowhere to be found. Your mother is like the most proud flower. She has been brilliant for a lifetime, withered at the most beautiful age, and left a fruit, which is you. Although her life is short, it is better than tens of thousands People who do nothing.”

Xia Houxun's crying seemed to be much quieter.Bai Sujiu patted him on the back, seeing that Xia Houxun was actually wearing very thin clothes, she couldn't help sighing, untied the cloak and put it on him.

"It's autumn, take care of yourself." Bai Sujiu said.

Xia Houxun slowly stood up from the ground, his face pale and full of tears.Bai Sujiu thought he would say something else, but he didn't.Xia Houxun seemed to have lost his soul, wrapped his cloak tightly, and walked away step by step.

Bai Sujiu looked at his back silently, and suddenly realized that the royal family is really a cruel place.It was so cruel that he couldn't comfort a teenager who had just experienced the pain of losing his mother.The death of the concubine in the harem is something that he, a minister, cannot intervene, let alone speculate.Bai Sujiu understands that no matter how nice his words are, when a person dies, he is dead.In the face of death, all words are pale, like a lamp going out, leaving nothing behind.

"National Teacher... Can I follow him to see. I'm a little worried." Bai Chenke floated out at some point, standing beside Bai Sujiu and said.

"He will not seek short-sightedness, after all, he is the prince." Bai Su Jiu thought for a moment.

"Not necessarily. The prince is also a human being, let alone a child." Bai Chenke said.

Bai Sujiu thought for a while, looked up at the bright sun and said, "Although the light is cold, it is light after all. Be careful."

"Understood." Bai Chenke flew out.
