The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 747: important
Chapter 747 Important
Six years ago, Xiliang attacked the border of Jin State. General Zhou Buhui of Bai Family Army led the Bai Family Army to provide assistance on the orders of Bai Qingyan’s grandfather. Bai Qingyan’s father Bai Qishan intended to train Xiao Ruohai and sent Xiao Ruohai with him. Xiao Ruohai’s master Shen Baizhong was worried about his disciple going to the battlefield for the first time and asked to follow him.
Later, Xiao Ruohai advanced recklessly in several small battles, intending to gain merit, which caused General Zhou Buhui to be hit by a poisoned arrow from Xiliang. On the eve of the battle, Shen Baizhong secretly left the camp to find an antidote for General Zhou Buhui, and never returned. Everyone thought that Shen Baizhong went to the Xiliang military camp to find an antidote and was killed.
In that battle, if Bai Qingyan’s father Bai Qishan had not arrived with the Bai family army reinforcements to take charge of the situation on the second day of the battle, the outcome would have been unknown.
Xiao Ruohai almost died at the hands of the enemy. In order to save Xiao Ruohai, Bai Qishan took a blow to the shoulder from an enemy general.
Xiao Ruohai feels guilty about this incident to this day. He always thinks that if he had not been so reckless, General Zhou Buhui would not have been hit by a poisoned arrow, his master would not have gone to search for the antidote, the army would not have been in chaos due to the fall of their commander and the camp would not have been broken by the enemy, and Bai Qishan would not have been stabbed to save him.
Bai Qingyan came back to her senses and stared at Li Mingrui. She knew that Shen Qingzhu was eager to see her master, so she said, “Bring the old man here. I won’t kill him. I’m just very interested in his martial arts.”
“I’m afraid that Princess Zhenguo will be disappointed.” Li Mingrui covered his wound tightly. “I was injured and taken to the capital because of saving me and my mother. I have forgotten my past. I’m afraid I can’t answer Princess Zhenguo’s questions.”
I really forgot…
When Bai Qingyan heard Shen Qingzhu say that Shen Baizhong didn’t seem to recognize her, she suspected whether Shen Baizhong had forgotten the past. She didn’t expect that it was because of saving Li Mingrui.
“I definitely want to meet this person. Lord Li is so reluctant, I want to meet him even more. I will leave for Shuoyang tomorrow, and I want to meet this person before that.” Bai Qingyan said, and called out, “Come here, send Lord Li back to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
Li Mingrui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: “Princess Zhenguo! To be honest… I don’t know where the old man is now. If I really can’t find the princess, isn’t this just asking for trouble?”
Li Mingrui’s voice was trembling with pain, and he pressed the wound tightly: “Since Li Mingrui knows that the Princess Zhenguo will not take the old man’s life, she will definitely not dare to joke with the lives of the entire Li family. I will do my best in this matter, but what will be the result…”
“If the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion can’t even handle this matter, it is too incompetent. How dare Lord Li say that?” Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and signaled the guards to carry Li Mingrui out.
Li Mingrui still wanted to argue with Bai Qingyan, but his wound was so painful that he could not break free from the guards who held him up, and could only be carried out by the guards from the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion.
As soon as Li Mingrui left, Shen Qingzhu asked impatiently, “Miss, is it true that my master is like Li Mingrui said, that he forgot all the past because he was injured while saving him?”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Li Mingrui doesn’t look like he’s faking it. And I see that Li Mingrui is very protective of your master and is unwilling to bring your master here. I think… it should be as he said! Li Mingrui is Du Zhiwei’s apprentice. The two are exactly the same. They are both people who have no sense of justice but have small principles.”
Shen Qingzhu was so concerned that she was confused. She was in a mess: “I wonder if Li Mingrui will send Master here.”
“Don’t worry. No matter how much Li Mingrui values your master, he won’t risk the lives of the entire clan. I’ve already promised him that I won’t kill anyone. He will definitely send the person here before I leave tomorrow at the latest.” Bai Qingyan said, then turned to look at Shen Qingzhu, “But I’m afraid you can’t take the person with you. If you’re worried about your master, you can stay in the capital… so we can take care of him all the time.”
Shen Qingzhu looked at Bai Qingyan with surprise. He calmed down and was silent for a moment. Then he shook his head and said, “Qingzhu must stay with the eldest girl. Li Mingrui was able to hurt himself for the master. If… he is not acting, it would be feasible to let the master stay with Li Mingrui for the time being. We can find a chance to bring the master back someday!”
“Li Mingrui has a close relationship with your master. Even if he forces your master to stay by his side, he may not agree.” Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and thought carefully, “But what I mean is… you should stay in the capital city. Your master said that he was going to find an antidote for General Zhou Buhui, but why did he appear in Jinjian City? I’m afraid only your master knows the inside story of this matter.”
Shen Qingzhu frowned and nodded after a long while: “I will follow the young lady’s instructions.”
Bai Qingyan never doubted Shen Baizhong’s loyalty, let alone believed it… Shen Baizhong said he was going to find an antidote for Zhou Buhui, but he ran away.
After all, when his father Bai Qishan rushed to the battlefield, General Zhou Buhui had already died, and his father Bai Qishan did not have time to see him for the last time.

Bai Qingyan had to go back to Shuoyang the next day, leaving Li Mingrui with little time, and Li Mingrui’s injuries were not light at this time.
He was sent back to Li’s Mansion by the guards from Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion. He was pale and in so much pain that he had difficulty breathing and almost fainted several times.
Li Mao was so shocked when he received the letter that he broke into a cold sweat. He went out to greet his son with the court doctor. When he saw his son with a dagger stuck in his abdomen and blood on his clothes, Li Mao’s scalp went numb. Although he hated Bai Qingyan to death, he still had to bow to the guards who had brought Li Mingrui back from the Zhenguo Princess’s mansion and thank them: “Thank you for bringing my son back. Please come into the Li Mansion for tea.”
The leading guard bowed to Li Mao and said, “You are too polite, Prime Minister Zuo. We are following your orders and dare not stay any longer. We will take our leave now.”
Li Mao quickly turned around and told the housekeeper to deliver the silver. The guards of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion refused to accept it and turned to leave.
“Quick! Carry the young master into the mansion!” Li Mao’s throat was churning.
Li Mingrui, who was helped onto the sedan chair, grabbed the housekeeper by the collar and said, “Go to Du’s residence in Jiuchuan Hutong to find the old man, and bring a doctor with you… If the old man is injured, bandage his wound first, and then… send someone to take him to the Princess Zhenguo’s residence! The Princess Zhenguo has promised not to hurt the old man’s life, so you must… ensure his safety.”
Rather than saying this to the housekeeper, it would be more accurate to say… Li Mingrui said this to Li Mao. He was afraid that Li Mao would simply send the old man’s head over in order to stabilize the Princess Zhenguo.
The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, his eyes red: “Don’t worry, young master, I will definitely get it done. Your injury is the most important thing right now!”
Li Mingrui, sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, held the housekeeper’s collar tightly and looked up at Li Mao, waiting for an answer from Li Mao.
Li Mao clenched his fists and said, “Don’t worry, your father will send a doctor to see the old man. Right now, the most important thing is to heal your wounds!”
