Chapter 1247: Sister, I Heard Something Bad
Bai Zhi’er exhaled, "Your home is so large, Xixi wouldn’t wander off on her own. Either someone took her away, or she got lost herself.""Don’t worry, where else haven’t you looked? I’ll help."
Yuan Ruxin hurriedly said, "My brother has taken people to the east, I just checked the west myself. Master, could you search the south?"
"There are many ponds over there, I’m really afraid Xixi might fall in."
Bai Zhi’er nodded and immediately headed south.
"Xixi!" she called as she searched.
The night wind was cold, snow was about to fall.
Bai Zhi’er calculated Xixi’s birth dates, showing she was safe.
That means she shouldn’t be in danger.
Nor had she been kidnapped.
Bai Zhi’er breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to use divination to locate Xixi, suddenly a voice came from the crevice of the fake mountain:
"Sister Zhi’er..."
Bai Zhi’er turned her head and saw Xixi hiding in the crevice of the fake mountain.
She quickly ran over, "Xixi, how did you get here? Are you stuck inside?"
Bai Zhi’er spoke while reaching to grab Xixi’s little hand.
Xixi was still wearing thin underclothes, her whole body frozen and shivering.
However, Bai Zhi’er pulled her, but she didn’t come out.
Xixi’s eyes held some panic, "Sister, is there someone following behind you?"
Bai Zhi’er hesitated for a moment, "No, it’s just me."
Only then did Xixi relax, her lips trembling with fear, "Sister, I’ve heard something terrible..."
"But, I can only tell you, I can’t let Sister Ruxin know."
Bai Zhi’er was taken aback.
She turned to look around, stretching her hand toward Xixi, "Come, I’ll first take you to a safe place. It’s too cold here, you’ll get sick."
Xixi trusted Bai Zhi’er the most, so she decisively crawled out of the fake mountain.
Bai Zhi’er directly took her to an unoccupied empty room in the Yuan Residence.
She wrapped Xixi’s body with a blanket and held her hand, transferring some mana.
After a while, Xixi’s hands were finally no longer so cold.
Her face had turned pale with cold.
"Xixi, you can tell me now, what did you hear?"
Although Xixi wasn’t cold anymore, she continued to tremble.
Her eyes showed fear, "Tonight, after I lay down, I suddenly remembered I hadn’t said anything to Sister Ruxin and brother."
"So, I went outside brother’s room, but I heard brother talking with someone about their plan to assassinate the Emperor."
This statement sent a shock through Bai Zhi’er.
"What?!"
Xixi shivered as she spoke, "They also said, since the Emperor’s legs are inconvenient right now, he won’t be able to dodge the secret arrows. To ensure foolproof success, they planned to poison the arrowheads."
"The day after tomorrow is the Emperor’s ancestor worship ceremony before the end of the year. They plan to act at that time."
"Sister, my mother always said the Emperor is the most important person under the sky. Is it wrong for them to want to kill the Emperor!"
Xixi was extremely frightened, "Moreover, my brother might have seen me."
Bai Zhi’er was surprised, "Yuan Zhen discovered you?"
Xixi nodded, "I... the robe I was wearing at the time fell outside the house."
That’s why Xixi was too afraid to directly return to her room.
Because she feared being found by Yuan Zhen.
This child, who had endured hardship, knew that hearing others’ secrets never ended well.
So, she hid until Bai Zhi’er appeared.
Bai Zhi’er’s dark eyes glimmered.
With this, everything made sense.
The Yuan Family invited absolute disaster purely because of their plot to assassinate.
And the matter would undoubtedly be exposed.
