Chapter 62
Chapter 62
There will be families, and there will be marriages.
The spiritual power that had nowhere to go in the inner room spilled out, Baili Xi stuffed Baili Changheng back into the quilt, and got off the bed, as if he had aged ten years.
Baili Xi has rarely used his spiritual power since he became the head of the family. Whether it is fighting or daily life, there are servants who will take care of it. It is the first time for Baili to consume such a large amount of spiritual power.
This time, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, his face was tired, and even a few strands of white strands were exposed in his hair.
Baili Xi grabbed Baili Qinan's forearm and looked at the long follower who rushed to Baili Changheng's bedside as soon as he came in.
Chang Sui only had Baili Changheng in his heart, and the others were like air in front of his eyes. After he came in, he reached into the quilt to grab Baili Changheng's hand, feeling the pulse that was recovering though slightly slow. Only then was he relieved.
Baili Xi watched it for a while, then waved his hand to signal Baili Qinan to help him leave.
The carriage was already waiting outside, and Baili Qinan followed him to Bailixi's courtyard.
Baili Qinan waved back the maid who came up to serve, and personally removed Bailixi's crown and clothes, "Patriarch, do you want to invite the doctor to take a look?"
"No need."
Baili Xi stood in front of the body mirror, looked at Baili Qinan with lowered brows in the mirror, and suddenly asked, "Qinan, do you think Baili Changheng can bear the burden of being the Patriarch?"
"The eldest son is extremely talented, so he is naturally able to take on important responsibilities."
Baili Xi shook his head and smiled, sat around the mirror and sat on the bedside, Baili Qinan knelt on the ground to take off Baili Xi's shoes and socks, Baili Xi lowered his head and could see Baili Qinan's top of hair and his fragile neck neck.
Bailixi said softly, "Qinan, you are already the ruler of Qizhi, so just leave these matters to the servants."
Baili Qinan paused for a while, and then put one foot that had taken off his shoe and sock on the pedal as if nothing had happened, and took off the other, "No matter where Qinan sits, Qinan is your slave. "
"Slave?" Baili laughed, "No one in the entire Baili family dares to call you a slave. They all say that you are the illegitimate child of me, but your mother's family is humble and cannot enter the gate of my Baili family. That's all."
"If this seat gives you this title, then you are my own son, and it is justifiable to take the position of Patriarch."
Baili Qi Nan was startled, bowed his head and knocked on the pedal, "I dare not!"
"Why don't you dare? Chang Heng is indeed very intelligent. Unfortunately, he has a fatal weakness, that is, his body is too weak. Even if he showed almost heavenly spiritual power in the dark room before, it was just a flash in the pan."
"The elders in the clan will not obey him."
"But you are different from Qi Nan. Although you are the youngest among the elders, they all recognize your ability and have conveyed to this seat their willingness to assist you."
Baili Xi's tone was light, as if he was really asking Baili Qinan, "What do you think, Qinan, if this seat gives you this opportunity, would you dare to compete with Chang Heng for this position?"
Baili Qinan's forehead was pressed against the cold mahogany floor. Without hesitation, he replied respectfully after Baili Xi finished asking, "Patriarch, you rescued Qinan from the quagmire with one hand. Without you, there would be no Qinan today. Qi Nan has never dared to expect anything extravagantly, and he has no other greater ambitions, he just wants to help you with his best, and waits for you for a hundred years, and Qi Nan wants to invite himself to guard your tomb, and he will never come out."
"Guard my tomb?" Baili Xi chuckled, "You are still young, you will start a family and start a business in the future, and accompany me with a bad old man, what does that sound like?"
Baili Xi said, "Get up."
Baili Qinan got up on his knees, took off the shoe and sock of Baili Xi's other foot, then stood up, took a step back and stood up.
With sharp eyes, he saw a corner of silver light protruding from under Bailixi's pillow.
Baili Qinan, who was standing there, felt a chill on his neck at this moment. It is not difficult to imagine that if Bailixi's previous answer was not satisfactory, he would not be standing here at this moment.
Bailixi leaned on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed, "When people are old, they like to think about things. Chang Heng has enough intelligence and strategy, and your cultivation is not weak. Qi Nan, Chang Heng is not a bad-treating old man. As long as you help him wholeheartedly, you will still have a place in Baili's family."
Baili Qinan didn't dare to say anything.
"Go on, I've been tired all day, I don't need you to serve me here."
Baili Qinan agreed, and was about to retreat when Baili Xi called to stop him, "When Baili Changheng wakes up tomorrow, return his spirit stone to him, and let him report safety to Bailifeng."
Baili Xi shook his head, "My son's life is dying, and he won't come back, so he's really cruel."
Baili Qinan complied again, bowed to Baili Xi and stepped back.
After exiting Baili Xi's room, Baili Qinan was truly relieved.
When the wind blew, Baili Qinan's sweaty clothes pressed tightly against his back, making him a little uncomfortable.
But it doesn't matter, at least this pass, Baili Qinan has been struggling in various environments since he was a child, and he can't hear Bailixi's secret words.
Bailixi is still in power, and it seems that he can still sit in this position for 100 years. Now some elders tell Bailixi that he is optimistic about himself. How can this not make Bailixi suspicious?
It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and that Bailixi is the head of the family. Among tens of thousands of people, all the elders under him control the same strength, and these elders check and balance each other in order to jointly maintain Bailixi's position.
Forming cliques is something no monarch would want to see.
Even if there were no elders who said they wanted to help him, it was impossible for Baili Xi to let him be the head of the family, born of a prostitute.Big families value bloodlines and inheritance the most.To say this to him was to test his loyalty.
To put it bluntly, a high-ranking king would not trust anyone, even his own pillow, and if their king didn't have a pillow around him, it would be even more impossible to trust a vagrant like him picked up from outside.
Baili Qinan took a deep breath of the moist air, raised his head to look around the circle of rockery, winding corridors, and wandered back to his own courtyard.
Before he walked in, he saw that his own courtyard was brightly lit, and the servants were not resting, walking in with food boxes one by one.
Baili Qinan caught a servant and questioned him, only to find out that it was Baili Changheng who woke up.
Only then did he wake up, and before he could say a word, Chang Sui said that he needed a bowl of sweet pumpkin porridge and hot water.
The group of servants had never seen the long follower, but his staring eyes were too terrifying, his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't smile at all.
It's frustrating to see.
The servants thought this was some kind of big shot, so they got busy in a daze.
Baili Qinan's courtyard does not have his own small kitchen, and he himself has no requirements for food. Even if he is in a high position, he still needs to go to the dining hall to get some food like ordinary guards. Give him some more chicken legs or something for the next dish.Later, Baili Changheng moved in, and the daily meals were brought in by someone.
There is no need to prepare a small kitchen in the courtyard.
In the middle of the night, the hot water was okay, but the kitchen turned off the fire early, and they were going to make a bowl of hot porridge, which stumped the servants.
Baili's family has a set time for three meals. If you miss it, you will miss it. It is impossible for a big kitchen to open fire for a certain person.
But that person is Baili Changheng, so it's different.
The servants dressed and woke up the cooks one by one.He said he wanted a bowl of hot porridge, but he couldn't really just give him a bowl of hot porridge. If the eldest son is hungry, he must set up a table of exquisite food.
By the time Baili Qinan entered Baili Changheng's room, there were about seven or eight plates of delicate meals on the dining table.
There are not many meals on each plate, but everything is time-consuming, and some cooks need to work together. Baili Qinan doesn't know how the kitchen can prepare such a large table of dishes in such a short time. .
Sure enough, the title of eldest son is easy to use anywhere.
Baili Qinan knocked on the screen of the inner room, and walked in without waiting for a response.
The atmosphere in the inner room is a bit strange.
On the low table beside the bed was a bowl of steaming pumpkin porridge.But obviously, no one has moved.
The long follower stood at the head of the bed, his high ponytail hanging down half covered his side face, his eyes were a little red, his lips were tightly pressed, and his hands were clenched, in an extremely aggressive posture.And Baili Changheng was lying on his side, facing the wall, his crow-blue hair spread randomly on the soft pillow, and even the quilt was crumpled and piled on him.
For a moment, Baili Qinan didn't know whether he should speak or quit.
Just when Baili Qinan was about to withdraw first, Chang Sui spoke, his voice was soft but firm, "Baili Changheng."
"If I do it again, I won't regret it."
"I can't stand you dying before me."
"If it were you, you wouldn't be able to bear it, would you?"
Baili Changheng's straight shoulders seemed to be loose.
Chang Sui kept staring at Baili Changheng, and this subtle movement naturally did not escape his eyes. He climbed onto the bed and pulled Baili Changheng out.
Baili Qinan touched his nose, backed out, and closed the door behind him.
Chang Sui knelt on the bed and helped Baili Changheng up, "Drink some porridge first?"
Baili Changheng nodded hesitantly.
Chang Sui instantly became happy.
Generally, if Baili Changheng is willing to eat, it means that he is not angry anymore and agrees with what he said.
Chang Sui went to serve the porridge, and Baili Changheng groped for himself and sat up.
The doctor came here just now and tied a piece of translucent smoky silk on Baili Changheng's eyes, saying that Baili Changheng's eyes would recover after a while, but if he saw the dazzling light too suddenly, it would hurt his eyes. For the eyes, it is recommended to cover them with silk cloth first, and then uncover them after getting used to them slowly.
Baili Changheng thought that the only time in his life that he could see Chang Sui was the time when he was half asleep, but he didn't expect that this time it was a blessing in disguise, and his eyes could regain their brightness.
The long follower was obviously very happy.
But as soon as the doctor left, Baili Changheng turned cold.
Before Chang Sui could react, he was scolded by Baili Changheng. The voice was not harsh, and the words were not harsh, but Chang Sui was uncomfortable and unhappy.
Baili Changheng said that Chang Sui shouldn't have come to Baili's house and shouldn't have rescued him.
I don't agree with any of these words.
Baili Changheng's life is not his life?He didn't want him to enter the wolf's den of Baili's house. Would he want to watch him die in front of his own eyes?
What's the point of this?
The two couldn't convince each other, so they could only fight coldly.
Then the scene that Baili Qinan saw appeared.
Chang Sui took a spoonful of the porridge, blew on it, and took a sip, feeling that it was no longer hot, before feeding it to Baili Changheng's mouth.
Baili Changheng ate it.
He frowned, "It's too sweet."
"My lord has lost too much blood, I need something sweet."
Baili Changheng reluctantly ate another five spoonfuls, and then he was reluctant to open his mouth.
Chang Sui saw that Baili Chang Heng really didn't want to eat, so he choked up the remaining half of the bowl, and walked outside to serve other dishes.
Baili Changheng leaned on the jade pillow, tilted his head through the smoke and cloud veil, and could vaguely see a white figure walking towards the outside.
That is long follow.
The long follower who was wearing the same Baili family disciple uniform as him.
Baili Changheng actually knew that if there was a way to save him, Chang Sui would definitely do it without hesitation, no matter whether it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire.
But Baili Changheng didn't want Chang Sui to be wronged in the slightest, and he didn't want Chang Sui to follow him into Baili's house.
There is no solution to this matter.
He will soften his attitude, but it's just that Chang Sui has already done this, and there's no point in holding on to it any longer. As for Chang Sui's words, if Chang Sui is seriously injured...
Perhaps Baili Changheng hadn't thought about this.
As long as Baili Changheng is alive, it is impossible for his beloved boy to step into such a dangerous situation.
So this assumption doesn't exist at all.
Chang Sui brought a few plates of exquisite side dishes and put them on the low table, and asked Baili Changheng, "Would you like some?"
Baili Changheng shook his head slightly, "You have been on guard all day, hurry up and eat something."
The long follower hesitated.
"Hurry up, I'm sleepy." Baili Changheng urged him, "Come up and accompany me after eating."
These words are like a reassurance pill, after taking it for a long time, I finally feel relieved.
The long follower quickly finished the meals, then took a bath with the hot water brought in by the servants, and climbed onto Baili Changheng's bed smelling fragrant.
Baili Changheng very naturally divided the quilt into half for him, and Chang Sui buried him in the quilt, curled up in front of Baili Changheng's chest, and his heart seemed to be firmly settled.
Exhaustion welled up all over his body, and Chang Sui lay on Baili Changheng's chest, touching his slightly cool body, and soon felt sleepy, his eyes opened and closed, as if he was extremely unwilling to fall asleep like this.
Baili Changheng patted him on the back, "Go to sleep."
The long follower asked in a daze, "My lord, did you stop counting what you said in the wilderness?"
Baili Changheng patted the hand on the back of the long follower.
The long-term security is really bad.
He has cheated the long follower too many times, this time he doesn't want to cheat again.
"Do the count." Baili Changheng bowed his head and kissed Chang Sui's forehead, "The count."
Baili Changheng said this very seriously, and his tone was very pious, "As long as I live, I will give you whatever you want, whether it is marriage or a simple family."
