The prince's personal bodyguard

Bai Xinyin's gossipy heart was burning, and she held her breath. She thought: If I go out now, that woman will definitely die. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, so I'll just consider it a good deed.

If you don't go out, you can only wait.

Then I thought, no, I don't know if that man's waist is real or fake? Is he a quick shooter who "loves and hates in an instant"? Or is he a guy who "lingers to the end of the world"?

Got it. He took out the cinnabar powder he carried with him to ward off evil spirits from his cloth bag, took two steps forward, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, but he ignored it.

With a wave of his hand, red cinnabar powder silently fell on the hair of the two people. The two people were so intoxicated that they didn't notice anyone at all.

Then Bai Xinyin flew over their heads. The woman seemed to feel a gust of wind and hugged the man tighter.

Bai Xinyin flashed into Minister Bu's study.

"I wonder why the Marquis asked me to wait here?" When Minister Bu saw Bai Xinyin come in, he hurried over to greet her.

During the day, when Bai Xiyin asked Minister Bu to feed Bu Shiren medicine, she lowered her voice and said to him: "Wait for me in the study at 11:00 p.m. tonight, and don't make a sound! You can bring the Taoist priest with you."

Is it possible that the son's matter is not that simple? Or is there something else going on?

He pretended nothing had happened, but after feeding her the medicine, he felt uneasy.

He only took a few symbolic bites of dinner, then called the Taoist priest to discuss something in the study, and waited until now.

Bai Xinyin sat down and looked at Minister Bu. Minister Bu was frightened by the look and looked at himself from top to bottom. He felt that he was wearing the right clothes and shoes, so he asked hurriedly, "Why is the Marquis looking at me?"

"I ask you questions and you have to answer truthfully, otherwise I can't save your son's life." Bai Xinyin rolled her eyes at him and fiddled with her nails.

"Have you or your son offended anyone?"

"It's a joke what you said, Lord Marquis. As the saying goes, 'People should not be officials, because they will become bad once they become officials'. Once you become an official, you cannot take into account the interests of all parties when doing things. Sometimes the interests of certain people will definitely be involved, which will offend them. I wonder if this counts as an offense?" Minister Bu was a little helpless.

Before coming, Bai Xinyin asked the Bagua Sect's men to present the information of Minister Bu Feng, and took a general look. It said that apart from indulging his son's tyranny, he was not bad in terms of political achievements. Although he did not make great contributions, he had achieved some success in politics for decades. He was also smooth and tactful, a typical figure in the officialdom.

The biggest turning point for this man was meeting his wife. His wife's family was a businessman, and they had been doing business well for generations and were very wealthy. It can be said that his achievements today were largely due to his wife.

"Apart from officialdom, are there any personal grudges? Or has your son ever offended anyone?" The young master of the Bu family had a bad reputation. Bai Xinyin had not intended to save his life, but when she saw Minister Bu and the layout of the Bu family courtyard, Bai Xinyin decided to give him a chance.

"This..." Minister Bu thought about it carefully, "I haven't made any enemies with anyone in private over the years. My son has saved many women over the years. His behavior may seem ridiculous, but he has good intentions. Sometimes he uses some coercive means, but it doesn't cause any deaths..."

Bai Xinyin thought to herself: Everyone says your son bullies men and women, causing the destruction of other people's families, but when it comes to his father's mouth, it becomes "help" and "kindness". He is really good at confusing right and wrong.

Can he really act?

"Master Bu has a kind heart. He shouldn't offend anyone, right?" the Taoist priest also said.

???

Are we sure we are talking about one person? Bai Xiyin thought.

"May I ask how many young masters there are in Bu Shilang's mansion?"

"Only one? Madam has had difficulty getting pregnant for many years, and she has only had this one child in her entire life." Minister Bu asked in confusion.

Seeing Bai Xiyin was a little surprised, he hurriedly said: "My wife has been kind to me, so I have only had one wife by my side for many years, and never had anyone else."

This was something Bai Xinyin had never thought of. Men who become officials and have money usually tend to act very pretentious, often having three wives and four concubines. However, this mansion was quite clean. She couldn't help but look up to Minister Bu.

"There are rumors outside that the young master bullies men and women. I wonder if it's true or not?" Bai Xinyin just said what he wanted to say.

Bu Shiren's face turned gloomy in an instant.

"Rumors from outside are not credible, Lord Marquis!" He took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Has it been a misunderstanding over the past few years?" Bai Xinyin asked.

Bu Shiren nodded, with a bitter smile on his face: "Yes, Lord. If you heard anything, it must be a rumor. My son has been kind since he was young. He has helped many poor people and provided them with food and shelter. He has also rescued some bullied women and provided them with shelter and help."

I don’t know whether what is said is true or not. Could it be that what is spreading outside is false?

According to what Minister Bu said, Bu Shiren has not bullied men and women in recent years. Those girls, or the dozen concubines he took, were all rescued by him? Isn't this too ridiculous?

Seeing that what Minister Bu said did not seem to be false, Bai Xinyin was half-believing and half-doubting. She looked at Bu Shiren in confusion and said, "So, Minister Bu, are the rumors misleading people?"

"Yes, they are indeed rumors!" Minister Bu affirmed.

"But have you ever thought about why people spread it like this? Didn't you realize that something was wrong?" Bai Xinyin thought of another thing.

"We sent people to investigate this matter before, but my son and daughter-in-law said, 'A man of integrity has nothing to fear,' and it didn't cause much harm anyway, so we stopped investigating."

"Son and daughter-in-law?" Bai Xinyin's mind flashed, and she recalled the adventure in the garden just now. She wondered what Minister Bu would think after hearing this?

"Well, let me tell you the truth. The person who hurt your son is hiding in the dark. Telling everyone in the daytime is just to make the person who hurt him relax his vigilance."

"It is indeed so." Taoist Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, a hint of doubt on his face, "I also feel that the evil energy in the young master's body is unusual. The cold is just a symptom. The real cause may be something else."

"This also requires the Taoist's help!" Bai Xinyin said.

"As long as you need me, I will fully cooperate!" said Taoist Qingfeng.

Minister Bu's face became more and more anxious, and he asked, "My Lord, are you sure you can cure my son's illness? He is my only son. If anything happens to him, what will happen to me...what will happen to my wife and me?"

"Don't worry, Minister Bu. I originally had no clue, but I came to your house tonight and encountered something in the garden that might help me find the real culprit who killed your son."

"What happened in the garden?" Minister Bu asked anxiously.

"Oh, it's nothing, just two little wild cats fighting. You want to know the reason. When the sun comes out tomorrow morning, you can find out the truth."

"But you have to listen to my arrangements."

Then Bai Xinyin told the Marquis and Taoist Qingfeng what to do tomorrow morning.

"Okay!" Finally, the three of them made the decision.

Everything was arranged, and Bai Xinyin returned to the palace in the night. In order not to disturb everyone, she chose to climb over the wall, but she didn't expect to be bumped into by someone just when she climbed over the wall.

The banished immortal-like man seemed to have an unhappy look on his face, and was standing with his hands behind his back.

"Ah Si, don't you need to explain?"

Bai Xinyin thought to herself, you followed me all night, what is there to explain?

Then he said, "I ate a lot for dinner, so I went out to digest it."

"Oh, isn't it interesting to see those two little wild cats fighting?"

Bai Xinyin felt her face suddenly turn red all the way to her ears.

Shit, can you hear this?

"Since you know everything and have seen it, don't you know whether it's fun or not? Why don't you get closer to take a closer look?" Bai Xinyin simply started to act shameless. After all, she wasn't embarrassed, but others were.
