Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Request To Return To The Capital City

Bai Xifeng looked at the sky. It’s almost a year since she migrated into this world. A lot of things happened. However, she lived to her fullest. She sometimes wondered about the things in her past life.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Tingfeng came over and sat beside her.

"Hmm... Just watching the sky." Bai Xifeng said. "Is everything going well?"

"Everything is going well. Father might be busy the next few days regarding the new city that just became our territory. We will be staying here for a few days before someone from the Capital comes over to take care of the rest." Bai Tingfeng said.

Bai Xifeng thought about something. Her eyes lifted up. She turned to Bai Tingfeng feeling excited. Bai Tingfeng was confused as to why Bai Xifeng suddenly looked happy.

"So, we are going to stay here for a few days, right?" Bai Xifeng asked for confirmation.

"Yeah." Bai Tingfeng nodded.

Bai Xifeng looked at Bai Tingfeng with anticipation.

"What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Tingfeng looked suspiciously at his younger sister.

"Can we go to their market?" Bai Xifeng asked Bai Tingfeng with shining eyes.

"Well..."Bai Tingfeng also did not know about that.

"Hmm... I will ask Father directly." Bai Xifeng said.

"Wait. Why do you suddenly want to see their market?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Big Brother, you know that I need some herbs to break my poison seal. So, I want to see if they have any herbs that I need for that." Bai Xifeng stated.

Bai Tingfeng remembered that Bai Xifeng had the poison seal in her body. His younger sister looked totally fine. So, that matter was kind of slipped out of his mind. He immediately nodded.

"Hmm... Xixi, let’s go." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Huh?" It was Bai Xifeng’s turn to feel confused when she saw Bai Tingfeng’s eagerness.

"I will tell Father about this. Don’t worry. With me accompanying you, Father will allow us to go. It is for your sake, after all." Bai Tingfeng said.

Bai Tingfeng stood up.

"It is already very late. You should go to bed early." Bai Tingfeng said.

Bai Xifeng looked at Bai Tingfeng’s back. She was thinking of going alone if their father did not allow her to go. She had her own ways.

Bai Tingfeng went to see his father. Bai Xiang was surprised to find out that his son was looking for him in the middle of the night.

"Father." Bai Tingfeng greeted Bai Xiang.

"Hmm..." Bai Xiang responded to Bai Tingfeng’s greetings. He then asked him the reason for looking for him late at night. Like the matter could not wait until tomorrow. "Why are you here?"

"Father, Xixi wishes to go to the new city that we conquered." Bai Tingfeng stated.

"What? Why?" Bai Xiang asked.

"She wants to look for the herbs for her poison seal." Bai Tingfeng said.

Listening to that reason, Bai Xiang’s face cast with pain. That was right. His beloved daughter had that damn seal.

"If you allow, I am planning to go with her." Bai Tingfeng said.

"That’s good. You can go with her." Bai Xiang nodded.

He could not leave his tasks now. He had a lot of things to take care of right now.

"Just let her buy whatever she wants." Bai Xiang added.

"I understand." Bai Tingfeng nodded. Then he excused himself. "Father, I will go back now."

Bai Xiang sighed. "Suyin, where are you? Our daughter has grown up."

...

The emperor, Liu Man received the report about the city that Bai Xiang just conquered. He did not expect Bai Xiang managed to conquer one of the cities from the Yue Kingdom.

Bai Xiang told everything about how he made the enemy submit to his demand. It seemed Bai Xiang caught the important person to the Yue Kingdom’s Emperor and threatened the other party to agree to the demand.

Well, the emperor did not think it was dirty tactics but a brilliant technique. Anything was fine in the war.

Bai Xiang requested an officer to take over the new city. The new city is famous for its honey. It’s going to benefit their economy since the honey can be traded in other places.

He is thinking about sending someone to handle the matter in the new city. He needed to ask his ministers about this matter.

Bai Xiang also sent a personal letter to him. He read it. In the letter, Bai Xiang requested to return home. It had been a long time since he was stationed at Xianying City.

The emperor also thought that it was indeed a long time. Since Bai Xiang won the war against the Yue Kingdom, it was natural that he allowed Bai Xiang to return home. He did not know that Bai Xiang would bring the storm when he returned to the Capital City.

The eunuch reminded the emperor that it was time to rest. The eunuch brought flat wood that had names on it. The emperor would choose one of the flat woods and he would spend time with a woman who got her name chosen.

"No need. I want to go to the empress’s palace." The emperor said.

The eunuch nodded. He understood that the emperor wanted to get some rest. The emperor used to go to the empress’s palace if he wanted to relax. He followed the emperor to go to the empress’s place.
