"Hey! What are you doing? If you look like this, I will think it's you who lost your sense of taste and smell, okay?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Bai Chen wanted to liven things up, but he didn't expect Yun Xi's face to look even worse after he finished speaking.

Only then did he realize something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the relationship between them should not have reached this level yet, but she...

Bai Chen looked at her with a complicated expression: "Yun Xiaoxi, you... are you really attracted to me?"

Yun Xi suppressed the surging sour feeling and wished she could pick up the salted chicken and put it on his head.

"Won't!"

The heavy and stiff atmosphere was broken, and Bai Chen laughed when he saw her gritting her teeth.

This is best.

He had a good impression of Yun Xi, and the feeling of closeness that appeared from time to time made him feel an inexplicable desire to care and protect her.

Seeing that he didn't take her body seriously, Yun Xi felt very angry, sad and distressed.

"Do you know how dangerous this poison is? How can you still laugh at this time?"

The Seven Worlds and Three Lives Flower is a poison with no cure, and no one knows its toxicity better than him.

The master had no choice but to use this poison in order to snatch himself back from the hands of the Lord of Hell.

"Harm! Isn't this because you can help me detoxify? Otherwise, how could I act so relaxed and casual!"

Although he said he believed her, in fact he just couldn't bear to see her look sad and guilty, so he was deliberately cooperating.

Yun Xi, who didn't know why, believed his words firmly: "Even if I can detoxify you, you shouldn't be so careless."

"Little Miracle Doctor Yun is right, I will definitely pay attention next time."

Yun Xi felt a little better after hearing what he said.

"Do you...have any other relatives?"

"Don't get me wrong, my grandfather once served under General Bai. I have great admiration for him. I have listened to him since I was a child...so I wanted to ask." Yun Xi was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.

Bai Chen's eyes began to become erratic as he stared at one place...

Through the collar of his high brocade robe, he stretched out his slender fingers and gently rubbed the scar half a palm wide on the side of his neck, which was left by the executioner back then.

"Actually, besides me, I may have a younger brother or younger sister and a little mother who should be able to survive."

"Maybe, should?" These two words made Yun Xi frown unconsciously, and asked back involuntarily.

"Since ancient times, when emperors were angry, they would lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles."

"The prince did a perfect job in the "rebellion" case that shocked the entire Lijing City. The late Emperor Long Yan was furious and ordered the execution of nine members of the Bai family. My father was afraid that the current emperor would not be able to escape the former prince's plan, so he did not dare to do it.

Too many hands and feet.”

"Back then, one of my father's henchmen used his pregnant daughter-in-law to disguise herself as a girl who happened to be pregnant..."

Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said.

She was wrong. He was not a survivor who was carefully designed and exchanged.

Yes, when the emperor was furious, Bai Tingshan had no power to resist, not to mention that he himself would not resist.

Since he had made the decision to sacrifice his entire family to protect Chu and Qin, how could he easily leave any excuse for the former prince to implicate Chu and Qin?

But if so, how did he survive?

Bai Chen seemed to notice her doubts and smiled.

The bitterness in that smile made Yun Xi's heart clench violently, making her feel slightly uneasy.

"I was only a few years old at the time. The person responsible for the execution, Xu Shinian, thought that I was too young, so the force of his attack was much lighter."

"When Master passed by the mass grave, he found that I had not yet died, so he gave me the Seven Worlds and Three Lives flowers with the attitude of giving it a try."

When Bai Chen mentioned the past, his mind drifted away unconsciously, and he failed to notice in time that the little woman opposite him had red eyes because of his words.

Under the table, Yun Xi's hands were clenched into fists.

It turns out that this is how he got the Seven Lives and Three Lives Flower poison.

She swallowed the soreness in her throat and tried her best to pull down the corners of her mouth to give him a smile to comfort her... but failed.

For the first time, Yun Xi discovered that the perfect smile that she could make by just raising the corners of her mouth would one day become so difficult to achieve.

"Then didn't you think about going to see your little sister and the others later?"

Bai Chen shook his head: "I don't remember. Although the Seven Generations and Three Lives Flower successfully saved my life, it also hurt my brain." Even these things he only remembered recently.

Yun Xi never thought that the truth of what she wanted to find out would be like this.

No one else in the Bai family survived, and even he survived in a way he could not imagine.

At the dinner party earlier, she felt that the Holy Emperor was very sincere in making amends to Bai Chen, and thought that he was a good emperor who missed old friendships and was grateful.

But when I looked back after knowing all the truth, I realized that the so-called compensation was just self-deception.

At this moment, Yun Xi made a bold decision. She wanted to confess her identity to Bai Chen, and she wanted to recognize him as her sister.

"elder brother"

"Bang!"

As soon as Yun Xi said something, Qin Yi, who was sweating profusely, bumped in through the window.

The huge sound of breaking the window interrupted what Yun Xi wanted to say.

"Young lady, the old lady is in danger. The master asked me to take you back."

When Yun Xi heard that it was the old lady who was in trouble, she felt nervous and did not dare to delay.

She allowed Qin Yi to hold her shoulders tightly and leave without saying goodbye.

Qin Yi took Yun Xi to perform Qinggong all the way back to Anlehou Mansion.

The last time Yun Xi used the Resurrection Incense on the old lady, she knew that the old lady's time was short, and it was an unexpected result that she could survive so many days.

People in the mansion also understood this truth. The people who were constantly coming and going took off the red lanterns in a well-trained manner and cooperated with each other to hang up white lanterns instead.

In the room where the old lady was, Anlehou, with red eyes, was explaining some specific matters behind the old lady's death.

Qin Mufeng knelt in front of the old lady's bed, his whole body shrouded in sadness.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, now that he had actually reached this stage, his emotions were still a little unbearable.

"Grandma, don't worry. My grandson knows that you want to see Yun Xi, and Qin Yi has already gone to find you."

"If you hold on a little longer, you can wait for her."

Yun Xi hurriedly took two steps to kneel down beside him. When Qin Mufeng saw her, he grabbed her wrist.

"Grandma is waiting for you."

"...Grandma, I'm Yunxi, I'm here."

"Okay, good girl. Grandma can't stay with you anymore. You, you must be good in the future."

Yun Xi held Qin Mufeng's hand in front of her and smiled: "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of him."

Qin Mufeng knew that she was acting, but his heart still beat uncontrollably.
