Chapter 1027: Beggar on the roadside
“This time, it’s all thanks to you.” Hu Feng opened the lid of the food box and looked at Bai Zhi next to him.
“What?” She didn’t know what he was talking about. After all, she had done a lot of things recently. Speaking of it, each of it was worth it once she heard his thanks.
Hu Feng took out the steaming food from the food box and placed it on the table, then said with a smile: “Of course, it’s about Princess Qian Fang and Prince Qian Hua.”
Bai Zhi sighed again and smiled: “I just did what I should do, it’s not for anyone.”
Hu Feng shoved the bowl full of snow-white rice into her hand and smiled softly: “You, can’t you say something nice?”
When Bai Zhi held the warm bowl, not only her hand became warm, but also her heart. She then smile and said: “Did I say something bad?”
The two were talking happily and had just eaten half of the meal when they suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Bai Zhi?”
The two looked where the sound came from. Then saw three people in tattered clothes standing not far away.
The three people’s pairs of eyes looked at her full of joy and excitement.
As if they were relatives who have been separated for many years and finally reunited in a foreign land.
Bai Zhi was a little afraid to recognize wrong people, so she said hesitantly: “Bai Erzhu?”
Bai Erzhu quickly nodded his head as his eyes reddened.
He suffered a lot to get here. He thought that their family of three would die on the road, but he didn’t expect that they finally came here.
What was more, he didn’t expect that on the first day of coming to the capital, they will meet Bai Zhi on the street.
Bai Zhi swept her eyes to Mrs. Zhang, as well to Bai Fugui, who was standing next to his mother. There was a broken bowl in Bai Fugui’s hand.
Did they beg all the way here?
She put down the bowl in her hand, got up, and walked in front of the three of them, “Why are you here? How did you become like this?”
Mrs. Zhang’s tears fell as soon as she asked and couldn’t help but burst into tears: “We received a letter that Dazhu and his son died. They couldn’t find any family members to collect their corpses, so they told us to come here to collect the corpses. We thought, since Dazhu and his son are here, Zhenzhu might be here too.”
So, their family of three came to find Bai Zhenzhu?
Bai Zhi pursed her lips, looking at them like this, she couldn’t say a word.
“Zhi’er, do you know where Zhenzhu is?” Mrs. Zhang asked with a trembling voice.
Along the way, she thought she was going to die several times. She was cold, hungry, and tired.
But she still survived. The only belief that supports her survival was her daughter.
Bai Zhi nodded: “I know.” She didn’t want to lie to them. They were just a pair of poor parents.
It was just a pity, they gave birth to such a wicked daughter.
Hu Feng came over, stood beside Bai Zhi, and asked in a cold voice, “Did you know about Bai Zhenzhu coming to the capital or not?”
Mrs. Zhang shook her head: “I don’t know, where did she go? What did she do? Why did she go with Bai Dazhu and the others? I really want to know why, but even up till now, I don’t know why.”
She looked at Hu Feng suddenly: “You know? You know, right?”
At this time, Zhou Awu came with a horse, turned over, and dismounted sassily. Then rushed to Hu Feng and cupped his hands: “His Royal Highness, the emperor is calling you into the palace to discuss matters.”
Hu Feng nodded his head and glanced sideways at Mrs. Zhang and the others, who were shocked. But in the end, he didn’t say anything and turned away.
When Hu Feng’s figure on horseback completely disappeared from the street, Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth: “His Royal Highness? He, what kind of highness is he?”
