What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Concubine Bai is extremely stingy with words, and she refuses to say a single extra word, and Bai Ruxie's memory is obviously not to be relied on at all.The key clue obtained now is only such a name.And whether the name is the key to the problem seems to be in between.After all, Bai Ruxie has long forgotten the original situation, maybe he just told Concubine Bai the name engraved on the stone wall, and Concubine Bai mistook it.

Although it can be regarded as finally getting the long-awaited information, but these contents always feel a little disappointing.Such a situation where information can always be obtained, but key content cannot be obtained, really makes people feel impatient.

But even if it was just that, the meeting with Bai Ruxie allowed Ren Zhen to think about the problem from a direction that he had never thought about before.Gaozu Pihong, who has always been regarded as a background story, seems to have become a suspicious figure who may still be able to act at this time.Considering that he would not easily tell others the location of the cave, it would make sense to say that he was the chief culprit who planned all this.

However, this is the same as a lot of information obtained before, and it can only be used as speculation before it is confirmed.Even if it can be proved, why Bihong's real body is still unknown, even if he wants to find him, there is no way to find him.

Ren Zhen sighed, and was about to say something else, when suddenly she heard a palace maid serving Concubine Bai come in from outside, and reported:

"Princess Yuman and Gu Xun came to see the concubine before."

"Meeting the concubine" is really a good way to enter the closed West Palace, and Ren Xun used the same excuse before.At this time, several people present raised their heads, only the host, Dowager Bai, remained motionless, as if saying that she was not really coming to see her anyway, so it didn't matter anyway.

Ren Zhen remembered that Princess Yuman was Xiaoyu's title in Qingqiu Kingdom, and she ran away as soon as she was granted the title of princess before, Ren Zhen thought she had no chance to use this title, but unexpectedly this time she actually used it.Concubine Bai is Xiaoyu's nominal mother. Considering the usual situation, if she requests an audience with this name, she will not be rejected.Although the current situation is very different from "usual", since there are still maids to pass on, it is better to pass it on. It was the same when Ren Zhen came, and I think the two of them had the same consideration.

Speaking of which, Ren Xun has stayed here for a long time, probably because he has been away for too long, Xiaoyu and Gu Xunzhi were a little worried, so after recovering a little, they followed their breath to find him.Although there is actually no danger in coming here, this action is still a bit too reckless.

Ren Zhen made a reservation in her heart that she would preach to the two of them after a while, and when she turned her head, she saw Qing Ruoxu looking around bewilderedly:

"No, I can't see her... what should I do?"

Although Ren Zhen thinks that Qing Ruxu doesn't need to care too much about his behavior when he is possessed, Qing Ruxu himself seems absolutely unable to accept facing Xiaoyu immediately.He cast a look at Ren Zhen for help, but Ren Zhen had no intention of participating in it, but just stood aside and watched him flustered.

Fortunately, after Qing Ruxu panicked for a while, he finally found a little bit of order, raised his head and asked the maids under Bai Doufei loudly:

"Come on, which way should I run? Where is the back door?"

The palace lady who came in to deliver the message had never seen the prince so flustered, she was somewhat frightened by his aura, she stretched out her hand to point him in the direction, Qing Ruxu seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, without even saying hello to others, she quickly slipped out the back door.

Bai Ruxie raised her eyebrows to see Qing Ruxu's leaving back, and sneered:

"As far as the crown prince is concerned, His Royal Highness Qingru Xu's demeanor is completely unqualified."

That's what I said, but after this matter is completely over, it's hard to say whether Qing Ruxu can continue to be the crown prince.Although his previous actions were all caused by demonic energy, he killed several ministers and injured the king after all.Although Qingruxu had always been the best candidate for the crown prince before, but now the lord is not too old to be able to give birth to an heir.

And it is very likely that he will leave here and never come back.

After Bai Ruxie finished her harsh evaluation of Qing, she turned to the maid who was waiting for further instructions.Dowager Bai is in this state now, and he can only grant permission to see her.Bai Ruxie didn't want to see Gu Xunzhi, but he took a peek at Ren Xun, and could only reluctantly order:

"Invite them in."

The palace maid led the order and came back soon with Gu Xunzhi and Xiaoyu.Xiaoyu and Gu Xunzhi were both on guard at this moment, they were taken aback when they came in and saw that the atmosphere in the room was actually quite relaxed.

Xiaoyu's reaction was quicker. She looked at the people in the room. Although she felt that Concubine Bai was not in a normal state, she skipped her and pointed to Bai Ruxie and asked:

"Who is this? Where is Qing Ruxu?"

Although Bai Ruxie is very dissatisfied with Qingxu who is the crown prince, she still has some respect for Xiaoyu, the princess who has been canonized not long ago, and nodded to her:

"The next one is Bai Ruxie."

As soon as his name was uttered, both Gu Xunzhi and Xiaoyu became confused. Gu Xunzhi rubbed his eyes and was too shocked to say a word. Xiaoyu had never met Bai Ruxie on a formal occasion, and he didn't know How should I deal with the situation in front of me, I looked at Ren Sha as if asking for help:

"Bai Ruxie? He's not a man... No... Isn't he dead?"

Ren Zhen took some time to briefly explain Bai Ruxie's situation to Xiaoyu and Gu Xunzhi.Xiaoyu nodded in agreement:

"So that's how it is...how about Qing Ruxu?"

"He didn't dare to see you and ran away through the back door."

"..."

Xiaoyu only thought that Ren Xun put Qing Ruxu somewhere else to rest or get rid of the evil energy, or locked him somewhere to ensure safety, she never thought that Qing Ruxu would run away because she didn't dare to see her.

She beat Qing Ruxu too badly just now, and she feels a little guilty when she thinks back.Originally, she wanted to apologize to him, but when she heard the news that he had escaped, Xiaoyu became furious. The original guilt was gone at this moment, and she just wanted to find Qing Ruxu and beat him up again. , she raised her head and asked:

"Where is the back door?"

Bai Ruxie seemed to find her appearance quite amusing, and said with a smile:

"He's been gone for quite a while, even if he chases him now, he won't be able to find him right away."

"where?"

Xiaoyu's momentum is quite strong, if she doesn't tell her, she will definitely not give up.Understanding this, Ren Zhen stretched out his hand to point her in the direction, Xiaoyu rushed over angrily, and then there was the sound of a door slamming from behind.

It is estimated that she will not come back in a while.

As soon as Xiaoyu left like this, the room suddenly became cold.The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, plus a white concubine who didn't move or speak, it was really embarrassing.Gu Xunzhi sized up Bai Ruxie, acting quite alert.Bai Ruxie also hated Gu Xunzhi, but she seemed much more relaxed:

"I only have a wisp of remnant soul left, you don't have to be so vigilant."

Bai Ruxie's tone was a little mocking, it could easily hurt the heart of those who are not capable enough, and make the other party appear to be of low standard.Gu Xunzhi felt vaguely offended, but if he got angry here, he seemed to be even more inferior.

He glanced at Ren Xun and let his guard down slightly.But the two hate each other, so of course they won't give each other any good looks.At this time, it was just for Ren Sha's sake, to be patient with each other.

The subtle interaction between the two did not attract too much Ren Xiao's attention. At this moment, he was more concerned about the person who led Bai Ruxie into a demon.He told Gu Xunzhi what Bai Ruxie said, and the name the concubine said, and finally asked him:

"What do you think?"

Neither Bai Ruxie nor Ren Xun knew much about Pihong.Gu Xunzhi lived in the world from the perspective of a mortal, and he was on duty in the palace. Among all the people, he knew Gaozu Pihong best.If he also felt that the matter was indeed done by Gao Zu, although there may still be no real evidence, it will make people feel more at ease. In any case, Ren Xun looks forward to him having some insights.

Gu Xunzhi glanced at Bai Ruxie:

"Although Gao Zu was born as a mortal, he has mastered the method of cultivating with demonic energy and drank dragon blood. If this guy can use the corpse to revive his soul, there is no reason why Gao Zu can't. But this is just a guess. If you want me to say, we should go Join King Xiao Jin and the others, if the matter here is related to Gao Zu, the matter on their side is absolutely inseparable from him. If all the clues can be brought together, there will inevitably be new evidence."

This idea fits well with Ren Zhen, but if it really wants to be implemented, it will have to wait for everyone to get together.

It has been a few days since they parted with Little King Jin, and the information between Qingqiu Kingdom and the human world is not very exchangeable, and now Qingqiu is in chaos, let alone being able to understand the situation in time.However, in Ren Xun's view, the situation here is really too smooth. The human world involves the kings of the dragon clan and the human world, and I'm afraid it won't end so simply.After discussing with Gu Xunzhi, Ren Zhen and Gu Xunzhi decided to stay in Qingqiu country for a few days first, and then go to the capital of the world to find King Jin and the others together when the situation here stabilizes.As for whether Xiaoyu and Qingxu want to follow, it depends on their own intentions.

The two of them discussed their plans for the future as if no one was there, while Bai Ruxie watched from the side with folded arms.When the two of them finished discussing, they all turned their heads and looked at Bai Ruxie together.

Bai Ruxie was a little sour at first, but now seeing both of them looking at him, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so she lowered her arms and took a step back:

"You say what you want, and watch what I do."

Gu Xunyi raised his eyebrows:

"Now that Qing Ruxu's demonic energy has dissipated, Qingqiu Kingdom will soon return to its original appearance. We will leave soon, do you still plan to stay?"

Bai Ruxie looked at him, then at Ren Xun:

"Aren't you going to kill me?"

Ren Sha shook her head:

"What you have now is just a wisp of remnant soul, not even much demonic energy left, and it won't become a big climate. There is no need to kill you."

If Ren Xun had put it another way, Bai Ruxie would probably feel happy and have a lot of fantasies in his mind.However, what Ren Sha said at this time really made him unhappy:

"Hearing you say that really makes me a little sad. Although I don't have magic energy to use now, and my soul is incomplete, but I won't be underestimated so much, right?"

Ren Zhen didn't like to make such jokes, he cut half of the sword at his waist:

"So you want me to kill you?"

Bai Ruxie took half a step back:

"I didn't say that... but if I can really die by your sword, maybe it can be regarded as a very good ending."

Ren Zhen saw that he was still greedy for life, but no matter what, this time he didn't want the sword to be stained with blood again.The last time they were entrusted by the Lord of Qingqiu to help, they didn't get any satisfactory ending, but that time they stole the princess who was just canonized by the Qingqiu Kingdom, which can roughly be regarded as a tie between the two.This time he didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he put his sword back into its sheath, and said to Bai Ruxie:

"I won't kill you. This is the decision that your Lord Qingqiu should make. It has nothing to do with me. If you don't want to die, you'd better leave early."

Bai Ruxie smiled and nodded:

"If I stay, the lord probably won't let me go easily, this time I probably really have to leave."

Gu Xunzhi stood next to Ren Sha, and at this moment interjected:

"What about your sister?"

When Gu Xunzhi said this, Ren Xun and Bai Ruxie seemed to have just remembered that there was another person here, and they went to see Concubine Bai together.Concubine Bai endured the gazes of the three, but remained motionless.

"What should I do? This really stumps me." Bai Ruxie walked back to his sister and hugged her arm, "This time it has nothing to do with her. If I keep her, she will She is still the Queen Dowager of Qingqiu Kingdom. The ruler is her own son, and even if the relationship is not good, he will always send someone to take care of her. Now that she has become like this, even if the situation improves in the future, it is impossible to interfere in the government anymore... so Come to think of it, the king will definitely treat her well."

When he said this, he paused again:

"But if I leave her and leave by myself, we will never see each other in this life... She will also be reluctant to part with me? After all, I am her good sister now."

Concubine Bai didn't move, but Bai Ruxie took her hand and caressed her cheek, eyes full of nostalgia.

"I want to stay." He finally said, "I have nothing but this elder sister. No one knows that I am Bai Ruxie. If the lord asks, you can just say that I am gone... okay?"

He looked at them, mainly looking at Gu Xunzhi, his eyes were very sincere, especially when he made such an expression with a female face, it was even more touching, which made Gu Xunzhi who hated him feel sympathetic to him more or less .So Gu Xunzhi nodded and said:

"I can make an agreement with you not to tell Lord Qingqiu about your presence here, but now the maids and servants in the West Palace are still under your demonic control. If you want me to keep silent, you have to let them recover first. It's normal."

Bai Ruxie smiled:

"It's not difficult."

After he finished speaking, he chanted a few incantations, only to see a lot of black smoke and dust drifting in from the doors and windows.Bai Ruxie gathered and compressed the smoke and dust, making them look like a viscous black liquid. He put the thing in a small glass bottle and handed it to Ren Zhen:

"The magic energy may still be useful, so keep it."

Ren Zhen took the vial and put it in her arms, without thanking her, and without making any promises, she just pulled Gu Xunzhi:

"Let's go."

The two of them walked out of Concubine Bai's palace together shoulder to shoulder.This day seems to be very long, Gu Xunzhi felt that he was tired, and he couldn't help leaning towards Ren Sha, who supported his shoulders, so that he could borrow a little strength to rest .Gu Xunzhi leaned against him comfortably, and sighed:

"Will Xiaoyu find Qing Ruxu?"

"who knows."

"Will King Qingqiu find Bai Ruxie? Will he really kill him?"

"do not know."

Gu Xunzhi looked up at him and asked another question:

"Can we sort out all this trouble in one fell swoop and stay together forever—just the two of us?"

"I can."
