Chapter 227: That child, could it be Brother 7’s?
As expected, Baili Moyan grasped something. "You mean, he had someone take a fake pulse to deceive Father? Just to make Father soften his heart?"
At this point, he was almost certain. "No wonder! No wonder my father, upon receiving the news that he was terminally ill, immediately restored his title!"
"Baili Moqing, you really have a good plan!"
"If this is true, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Baili Moyan's handsome face showed a bit of viciousness and a bit of pride, as he felt that he had caught Baili Moqing's weakness.
The crime of deceiving the emperor!
If he reports this to his father, will Baili Moqing, who is already guilty, be able to withstand his father's wrath?
He never likes to be teased!
Rong Xia saw the change in his expression, but there was no expression on his calm face.
He warned, "Your Majesty, if he is 'healed' after receiving the imperial decree to restore his title, then it would not be deceiving the emperor."
After hearing this, the smile on Baili Moyan's face disappeared instantly.
He was very smart and understood what Rong Xia meant almost instantly.
Yes, when the imperial edict came, he received it, his title was restored, and he was then cured by the palace physician...
What a natural thing!
"What if the doctor died before the imperial edict arrived?"
Seeing the evil smile on his lips, Rong Xia knew that Baili Moyan had murderous intentions.
But he didn't say much. Even if the woman died, it wouldn't change the established facts, but it would at least disrupt another thing.
If he wants to kill, let him kill.
Baili Moyan calmed down a bit and sat back in his chair. With a slightly worried look on his face, he asked, "Rongxia, if Seventh Brother really recovers his strength, how else can we kill him?"
The man below lowered his head and said nothing.
No one can answer this question.
"He won't forget what happened four years ago. Tell me, if he really recovers his martial arts skills, will he come to kill me?"
Rong Xia looked up and saw a complex and profound meaning flash across Baili Moyan's slender eyes. He didn't even see what it was before the light disappeared.
He felt puzzled and even suspected that he had seen it wrong.
"You are the Prince of Nanyu of Tianqi. He wouldn't dare to act rashly. Moreover, if the Emperor knew that he had recovered and something happened to you, wouldn't that clearly tell the Emperor that he was the one taking revenge?"
Baili Moyan nodded, a look of satisfaction and appreciation in his eyes. "That makes sense. He hasn't cleared his suspicion of what happened four years ago. If he were to touch me now, even if my father couldn't bear to part with him, he would kill him without mercy!"
"Rong Xia, you are indeed a wise man!" Baili Moyan stood up, walked in front of him, looked at the man bending at his feet, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
"Tell me, how could Fourth Brother, a smart man like you, bear to give you up?"
Rong Xia's eyes changed slightly, these words seemed to have deep meaning.
"Back then, I made a mistake and was expelled by the Fourth Prince. Thank you, Ninth Prince, for not despising me and taking me under your wing, giving me a place to realize my ambitions. I will always remember your kindness and will repay you with my life!"
Baili Moyan was very satisfied with these words of loyalty. He sat back in his chair and said in a condescending tone, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Baili Moyan looked at him seemingly casually, and seeing that his expression remained unchanged, a hint of mystery flashed across the corner of his mouth.
"The imperial edict restoring Seventh Brother's title, as well as the imperial edict commending all the soldiers of Beisha City, will arrive tomorrow. That woman must die tomorrow!"
"You have to do this yourself!"
"Yes, I obey!"
After the black figure left, a middle-aged man walked in from outside. He had sharp eyebrows and eyes, and a half-inch long gray beard that was very neatly groomed.
After entering, he bowed respectfully to Baili Moyan. "Your Majesty."
Baili Moyan was still staring at the direction where Rong Xia disappeared, with a half-smile on his lips and a shrewd look on his face.
"Guan He, tell me, why did Fourth Brother send Rong Xia to me?"
The man named Guan He lowered his head, his expression solemn and serious. "Of course, it's to keep track of your movements at all times."
Baili Moyan sneered, "This fourth brother really treats me like a child! Do you think I can't understand this little trick?"
"Fortunately, this Rong Xia still has some abilities, otherwise, using him would be disgusting!"
After talking about Rong Xia, he looked at Guan He and asked, "What did my aunt say?"
Guan He bowed and replied, "Liu Xi said that the eldest princess is ill and her appearance has been damaged. She hasn't seen anyone in the past few days."
"I won't see you either?" Baili Moyan felt unhappy. "Why do I feel like my aunt has become more and more distant from me in the past two years?"
Guan He's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "The eldest princess has someone from the emperor by her side."
He understood immediately and Baili Moyan's expression became clear.
Then, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, he said, "Because of her son, she has lost all her edge now. I really miss the way she was when she first came back."
At that time, she was led by him by the nose, doing whatever he said. Now, it is becoming increasingly difficult to control her.
Is it really because of my father?
Baili Moyan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"Forget it, since she doesn't want to see me, then let's not meet her." She is of no use to me for the time being anyway.
"By the way, what's going on with Zifeng? I've been here for several hours, why hasn't she come to see me yet?"
Originally, Zhu Zifeng should have reported these things to him the first time after he arrived. Wasn't this the reason why he arranged for her to be by the eldest princess' side?
How come he has been here for so long and has almost figured out everything, but she still hasn't come?
"Miss Zhu said she was poisoned and can't go out for the time being. She just wrote a letter and asked Luqiao to deliver it."
As he spoke, Guan He took out the letter written by Zhu Zifeng from his arms.
While Baili Moyan was reading the letter, Guan He stood aside with an expressionless face.
Zhu Zifeng's letter was very long and contained a lot of content. She wrote down what had happened in Beisha City in the past few days and her plans.
Baili Moyan watched with great interest, and the interest in his eyes became more and more intense.
"This woman actually has such powerful skills. Even my aunt was repeatedly defeated by her! This really makes me curious!"
"He knows medicine, poisons, and is a strong martial artist. Not only that, but he also has a child..."
At this point, Baili Moyan's eyes suddenly showed some suspicion, "That child, could it be Seventh Brother's?"
A smile appeared on his face, and he felt very happy, but he also felt a little silly for being happy alone.
He looked at Guan He and handed him the letter in his hand, "Take a look."
Guan He pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to take it and looked at it carefully.
"The woman next to Seventh Brother has a child. Zifeng said that Seventh Brother cares about that child very much. Do you think that child is Seventh Brother's?"
"If not, why would he be so nervous? He even went so far as to turn against my aunt."
If it really is his, then this would be really fun!
After reading the letter, Guan He felt that his idea was a bit unrealistic.
Zhu Zifeng's letter clearly stated that the woman had only recently met Prince Dongli, but the child was already two or three years old. Therefore, the time didn't match.
Baili Moyan looked at him, as if he could see his thoughts from his eyes.
A look of boredom appeared on his face. "Forget it, it's impossible. I know exactly what kind of person Seventh Brother is! Plus, after what happened over four years ago, it's even more impossible for him to be interested in women!"
"However, regardless of whether the child is his biological child or not, as long as he cares about the child, that child will be a good knife."
