Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xie Xingyun thought for two seconds and finally turned around to pick up the sword.

“I’m not going to see her.”

Bai Jingyuan was a little surprised. Didn’t he come to the residence with him because he wanted to see Little Yu?

Now that he invited him to go with him, Xie Xingyun actually rejected him.

Just as Bai Jingyuan was about to leave, he saw Xie Xingyun stop in front of him and take out a bag of something. He turned around and said, “She’s afraid of bitterness. Give this to her.”

Bai Jingyuan took it and took a look. The sweet smell of candies wafted out.

“…candies?”

“Yeah.”

Bai Jingyuan held it in his hand and shook it. This place was still a distance away from the street.

Xie Xingyun had been standing guard here for at least four hours, but it was still warm.

He raised his head and gave the young man a deep look. From where he had taken it out just now, had he placed this against his heart to keep it warm?

“I’ll tell Little Yu that you sent this over,” Bai Jingyuan said. “You saved Little Yu, which means that you’ve done us a favor. She should be grateful to you.”

When Xie Xingyun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He said self-deprecatingly, “Grateful?”

Bai Jingyuan frowned.

Amidst the rustling wind, a few dead leaves fell on the young man’s shoulders.

It was clearly a festive red robe, but it made him look cold and aloof.

“There’s no need to be grateful. This is what I owed her.”

He had let her down in her previous life, so he would take good care of her in this life.

Watch over her safety, watch… her get married.

Perhaps she would have a child in the future. If she was willing to forgive him, he might be able to… acknowledge her child as his godson or daughter.

Then he might still be able to fool himself into thinking that she had a family with him.

However, this had also become an extravagant hope.

Xie Xingyun’s eyes were dark and dead.

She did not want to see him.

Then he would show up when she was willing to see him.

At night, Green Pearl hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

Bai Xianyu was drinking medicine and chewing a piece of candy in her mouth. The sweetness seeped into the bitterness of the anti-cold medicine, leaving only a sweet taste.

“Miss, I brought some people to search the White Horse Post, but we didn’t find your jade pendant.”

Bai Xianyu coughed twice and immediately felt that the candy in her mouth had lost its flavor. “Have you searched both inside and out?”

“I’ve searched carefully, but the place you said you fell into the water has not been searched. The officials and imperial guards there surrounded the place, so 1 can’t go in to search.”

Bai Xianyu frowned slightly. She recalled what her brother had told her when he sent the candies over just now. Because she had encountered an assassination attempt in the vicinity of the Qionglin Garden, Emperor Wu Xuan was furious and wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, so he sealed the entire river.

“Miss, do you want us to continue searching?”

“Yes.” Bai Xianyu did not hesitate. Her mother had not left her much things to begin with, so she could keep one, she would have one. “We’ll go again tomorrow. Coincidentally, the Emperor has asked me to cooperate with the investigation. Perhaps they’ll be salvaging things from the river.”

Green Pearl replied, “Yes.”

The next day, Bai Xianyu, who was holding an earthenware hot-water bottle in her arms, lifted the curtain to look at the crowded street.

Not far ahead was the bank of the Li River, the river that ran through the entire capital.

Qionglin Garden was built near mountains and rivers, and it also relied on the Li River.

“Miss, we’re here.”

“Yeah.”

Two people got out of the carriage. At a glance, they were all imperial guards in yellow armor.

Bai Xianyu could not help but think that Emperor Wu Xuan was so furious about the assassination attempt on her life outside the courtyard, that he not only deposed the commander of the imperial guards and exiled his entire family, but he also ordered his imperial guards to personally protect her and ordered the minister of the Court of Judicial Review to investigate the case to find out the truth of the matter.

This was not only because the assassin was bold enough to attempt to assassinate her under his nose, but also because she was the youngest daughter of the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor.

No one told this news would not say that the Emperor had taken a fancy to the Bai Family.

She and her brothers had once been blinded by such smoke. In fact, accompanying the Emperor was like accompanying a tiger. The Emperor’s kindness was immeasurable. She still did not know what had happened in the 25th year of the Qian Era that made Emperor Wu Xuan ruthlessly kill.

Bai Xianyu took the jade token of the General’s Manor and arrived at the crime scene unimpeded.

However, she saw a familiar figure at a glance.

He tilted his head slightly to look at the water surface. Half of his face was well-defined, and the sunlight cast a deep shadow of his high nose bridge.

Beside him stood a man in court attire with gray hair at the temples.

The two of them conversed from time to time.

Bai Xianyu thought that this should be Li Yu from the Court of Judicial Review. When she approached, Xie Xingyun seemed to have sensed footsteps, so he turned his head to take a look.

She felt his eyes on her for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened.

“Greetings, Lord Li.”

Li Yu turned around and looked at Bai Xianyu’s face. He knew who it was. After all, there were not many people who could walk in so directly. He smiled and said, “Miss Bai, you don’t have to be polite. Back then, 1 was a colleague of your father. If you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle Li.”

Bai Xianyu did not decline. “Uncle Li.”

“Good, good, good.” Li Yu then looked at Xie Xingyun and introduced, “This is Xie Xingyun, the son of the Marquis of the Northern Garrison, Xie Qian. Not long ago, he was conferred the title of a scholar of Hanlin Academy. He was the one who saved you yesterday.”

Bai Xianyu looked up and closed her eyes slightly. “Greetings, Lord Xie. Thank you for saving my life.”

“Yeah.”

When Bai Xianyu saw Xie Xingyun just now, she was worried that the Court of Judicial Review might perceive something. Now that she saw his calm expression, although she was a little surprised, she was happy to see it this way.

Li Yu waited for the two of them to greet each other before saying, “I had wanted to find time to go to your residence. I didn’t expect you to come on your own, which saved me some effort.”

Bai Xianyu smiled and replied to Li Yu’s questions.

While the two of them were talking, Xie Xingyun took the initiative to walk to the side. He crossed his arms, placed his slender fingers on his elbows, and leaned against the bright red pillar behind him.

After Li Yu asked about the situation that day, he frowned in deep thought.

Then, he said, “I understand. Let me think about what my niece said. If there’s any progress, I’ll order someone to inform you.”

Bai Xianyu nodded and revealed her purpose for coming. “Uncle Li, are you planning to salvage the things in this river?”

Li Yu said, “I’ve already sent people to try to salvage yesterday, but we didn’t find anything useful.”

Bai Xianyu asked, “Have you seen a jade pendant? It’s a soft jade with phoenix patterns. 1 accidentally lost it when I fell into the water yesterday.”

“No,” Li Yu said. “Although many things were found, I checked them all yesterday. If there’s the jade pendant you mentioned, I should have an impression of it.”

Bai Xianyu could not hide the disappointment on her face.

Xie Xingyun glanced at her side profile and turned to look at the calm water.

“But maybe my eyesight is failing. You can go over there and take a look.” Li Yu pointed to a place. “Everything that was salvaged is there.”

Bai Xianyu nodded.

“Although those things are messy, they are also part of the physical evidence. There are people guarding them. How about this…” Li Yu glanced at the silent man and smiled, “Let the Young Marquis bring you there..”
