After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

Chapter 469 Wei Xi Suspicious of Wei Dong

The two people who were still in the bedroom looked at Bai Qingyun's figure walking away, and both sides hesitated for a while.

Finally, Wei Dong comforted her: "Xi'er, the damage caused by power struggles is no less than that caused on the battlefield. Some necessary casualties are always unavoidable. Do your best to compensate for it afterwards!"

"Father!" Wei Xi pulled himself out of his thoughts: "These are all things that the Master has taught me. I have never regretted it!"

The emperor would never regret being soft-hearted, and besides, it was the most correct choice she could make at the time, and she never regretted it.

From the beginning to the end, what Wei Xi cared about was always Wei Chen: "How does the emperor plan to place Chen'er?"

Wei Dong smiled and said, not surprised by his daughter's test: "Xi'er, that position is given to you. Father has never doubted it." He paused and added: "Actually... this is also what Chen'er meant."

Wei Dong's words undoubtedly set off a storm in Wei Xi's heart: "Chen'er...have you never thought about it?"

Although Wei Xi was well protected by the emperor and the Han family since she was a child, she always listened and watched.

She saw men with three wives and four concubines in their backyards, and she saw countless women dying in childbirth. These were common in the backyards of ordinary people and officials in the capital.

Because of the palace banquets, there were always female relatives coming to the palace. She saw that those people would be jealous because their husbands took concubines, would chat with others at the female relatives banquet, and would only talk about their husbands' official careers...

She knew that she was very happy to have met a completely different father, and the key point was that he was the emperor.

But there will always be someone telling her that the throne will belong to Wei Chen in the future, and the emperor's current favor is just to protect Wei Chen.

She didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing one or two people say this, she couldn't help but doubt herself. Was she really just a tool used by her father to protect his younger brother?

But every time she faced her brother's pure gaze, she suppressed the doubts in her heart.

It was not until after the hunting ground that Wei Chen stayed away from her every time, and the hesitation and guilt in her heart slowly dissipated.

She grew up immersed in power and naturally had a desire for power in her heart. If Wei Chen really competed with her now, she thought, she would kill him without hesitation.

But now her father told her that she could succeed to the throne, and this was also Chen'er's wish. How could she not be confused?

"Xi'er..." Wei Dong's slightly tired voice sounded, and he stood up: "Help me to the desk!"

Wei Xi quickly stood up and helped him: "Father has just recovered from a serious illness, so it is better to take care of your body first. Those memorials are not urgent..."

She has now been instructed to enter the court and begin to slowly get involved in political affairs, paving the way for her future succession to the throne. If it weren't for the obstruction of the aristocratic family, she would have been the crown princess now.

Wei Dong just shook his head, sat at the desk, panting, picked up the pen, and motioned Wei Xi to grind the ink.

In a moment, an imperial edict was completed. Wei Dong had no energy left. After handing the imperial edict to Wei Xi, he dragged his heavy body back to the bed and waved his hand to signal Wei Xi to leave.

Wei Xi looked at his father who was sleeping peacefully and focused his eyes on the imperial edict in his hand. Then his gaze narrowed and tears welled up in his eyes.

Father...has considered everything very carefully for her.

But just now, she began to doubt her father's sincerity.

But cutting with a soft knife is the most effective against the future emperor.

outside the palace.

Bai Qingyun walked out into the morning sun.

She was dressed in a maid's clothes, and in the eyes of outsiders she looked like a servant in the house of some high-ranking official.

His Majesty has been seriously ill recently, and there are many people coming to the palace to "visit" her every day. In addition, she is still young, which makes her very confusing. The guards at the palace gate took one look at her when she was sent out by the second princess's personal maid, and then they looked at her a few more times.

This undoubtedly aroused suspicion among the spies guarding the palace gate, and soon, Bai Qingyun realized that someone was following him.

She had to be cautious, remembering that all travel outside the palace would be recorded. She entered the palace in the name of a maid in the princess's mansion, so naturally she went to Princess Wei Xi's mansion.

The princess's mansion was guarded by guards and there were secret guards guarding it, so the other side had to withdraw.

After all, the princess's mansion is not completely clean.

Someone will naturally take over next.

Seeing that his tail was shaken off, Bai Qingyun changed his clothes under the cover of the pavilion and corridor, nimbly avoiding the eyes of the princess's mansion and climbed out of the yard.

After all, she had practiced martial arts before, so it was not difficult for her to get rid of these people's surveillance.

But soon after he stepped out, Huo Huo's voice rang out in the space: "Master, there is someone following you."

Bai Qingyun paused when she heard that. Her five senses had become sharper due to her practice, but now that the other party was following her, she was completely unable to detect it.

Huo Huo knew the shock in her heart and explained: "The other party is also a cultivator, and his cultivation is higher than the master."

Huo Huo's words forced Bai Qingyun to take him seriously. She glanced at the bustling street market in the early morning and slowly walked out of the city.

"Your Excellency actually followed me here, why don't you show your true face to me?" Bai Qingyun said in a somewhat cold voice: "Master Imperial Master!"

Amid the interlaced shadows of the trees, a man walked out from the darkness with an abnormally pale face: "Young lady is indeed very smart, but I don't know when my identity was exposed?"

Bai Qingyun narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in front of him: "Are you a cultivator?"

The man nodded, a creepy smile on his face, and then he came down with the pressure of spiritual energy, trying to appreciate Bai Qingyun's embarrassment: "Isn't the girl also a cultivator?"

"People who practice cultivation use spiritual energy as their source of energy. Just now at the palace gate, the spiritual energy talisman on your body was still working." Bai Qingyun ignored the ferocious look on the man's face and leaned against a thick tree trunk, crossing his arms and calmly said, "Let me guess, why can your cultivation level still increase in the world where spiritual energy is almost exhausted?"

She had a nonchalant smile on her face, but she couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with the person in front of her. If it weren't for the fire in her body helping her to withstand the pressure, she would have kneeled down in front of him right now.

If she didn't want to expose her own trump card, she really wanted to release Huo Huo to scratch his face, which was so white that it looked like it was covered with three layers of powder.

Even if he didn't fight back, the man still showed a moment of panic in his eyes when he saw Bai Qingyun's unresponsive appearance. It was because of the cultivator's keen sense of danger that he should have run away at this moment.

But Bai Qingyun's words still made him stop his urge to run away.

"Although the spiritual energy in the human world is exhausted, the palace is located on the dragon vein of the human world, so it is inevitable that there will be residual spiritual energy. This is why you, a good cultivator, do not concentrate on cultivation, but insist on entering the palace and interfering in the trivial affairs of the human world."

The Imperial Master had to take the person in front of him seriously: "Who are you?"

Bai Qingyun grinned mockingly, and walked slowly towards him with his hands behind his back like an old man carrying a heavy load: "Me..."

Just as the two of them were getting closer and closer, less than a foot away, the crushed poison pills behind Bai Qingyun's sleeves instantly dissipated. She deliberately lowered her voice, as if she were some otherworldly expert: "It's you, grandma, grandma!"
