But today, Eldest Young Lady said, if he can return home safely, that would be the greatest news, which finally relieved Bai Qingqi of some burden.
"But I couldn’t even protect A Yu! A Yu... all that’s left is... just a charred corpse, I could only recognize from the armor..."
The always mature and steady Bai Qingqi couldn’t help but choke up, for the first time, he cried quietly and couldn’t resist kneeling to plead guilty.
A Yu was the legitimate heir of the Bai family, he was the one who most needed protection... the one who should survive the most!
Bai Qingqi had always been the harshest to Bai Qingyu, in order to... ensure he could survive on the battlefield.
But A Yu was still gone, burned beyond recognition...
His biological younger brother left only his body, he manually searched the battlefield and couldn’t find his younger brother’s head!
Uncle’s archery was superb, if he had been faster, he surely could have saved Ah Zhuo and the others, but... he was too slow! Letting them bleed to death!
The immense grief swept over Bai Qingqi again, causing him physical pain to the point of uncontrollable trembling, feeling worse than death.
Bai Qingyan tightly pressed her lips, looking at Bai Qingqi, who for the first time was so emotionally exposed, almost unable to hold it together, she bent down to gently stroke Bai Qingqi’s head, firmly gripped his arm, helping him up, as if soothingly murmuring, "A Qi, don’t feel guilty, A Yu is still alive, it’s just... his identity cannot be revealed."
Bai Qingqi’s body stiffened and he looked up, his bloodshot eyes looked at Bai Qingyan, as if trying to determine whether her words were meant to comfort or were true.
Bai Qingyu, from a distance, vaguely heard the words "A Yu" and saw his third brother kneeling to plead guilty, then he knew... that his third brother thought he was already dead. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Thinking of the white hair at the temples of his third brother, Bai Qingyu closed his eyes, holding back his tears.
Xiao Rongyan had excellent hearing, although he didn’t hear what Bai Qingyan said to Bai Qingqi, he did hear Bai Qingqi say... that all Bai family members were personally buried by him, no one came back.
He looked at Bai Qingyu with a deep gaze, then... who is this ghost-faced Prince of the Rong? Could it be... not a member of the Bai family, but from the uncle’s generation?
The ghost-faced Prince’s voice was destroyed, hoarse and aged, coupled with the mask, making it truly difficult to determine his age.
Prime Minister Lu saw that the auspicious time was almost over, stepped forward to salute, and once again invited, "Your Majesty... the auspicious time is about to pass, please ascend the throne!"
"Please ascend the throne!
"Please ascend the throne!"
"Please ascend the throne!"
The soldiers and officials shouted thrice in unison.
Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingjue, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jinhua, and Bai Jinzhao also knelt down: "Please ascend the throne!"
