After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

After all, the girl was still young. After waking up, she saw a group of people surrounding her and she was soaked all over. She was a little scared for a moment and burst into tears.

Bai Jiyue immediately took her into his arms, gently stroking her back and coaxing her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

The little girl buried her little head in her arms, wiped her tears and snot hard, and her crying became much quieter.

At this time, the imperial physician came over breathlessly carrying the medicine box.

Bai Jiyue wanted to let the girl go so that the imperial physician could see her, but the girl held her neck tightly and refused to let go, like a little monkey trying to hang on to its mother.

A nanny came over quickly and stretched out her hand to the little girl: "Princess Qingyue, come here, let Nanny Su hold you."

Not only did the little girl ignore her, she shrank into Bai Jiyue's arms, as if she was afraid of being forcibly taken away by her, leaving Nanny Su at a loss as to what to do.

Bai Jiyue was also a little helpless, and said to Su Mama: "How about I send the princess back to the palace first?"

Nanny Su nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady."

She glanced at the imperial physician, then led the way. The imperial physician followed with the medicine box, and Bai Jiyue followed behind, holding the little girl in her arms.

After walking for a while, they arrived at Kunning Palace. Bai Jiyue then realized that this princess named Qingyue was actually the one raised by the queen.

She was a little confused. With such a noble status, how could such a dangerous thing happen to her when she was left unattended?

Standing at the palace gate, Nanny Su turned around and looked at Bai Jiyue: "The Queen is in front congratulating the Queen Mother on her birthday, so I won't invite you in. I will report to the Queen about your rescue of Princess Qingyue. Please leave your name."

Bai Jiyue waved his hand: "It's just a small matter. No one would stand by and watch someone die."

Madam Su nodded: "The girl's clothes are all wet. I'll ask someone to find you some clothes to change in the side room, okay?"

"Thank you, Madam Su." Bai Jiyue accepted it calmly.

She was soaking wet and looked really indecent. If the Emperor wanted to summon her, it would not be appropriate for her to go to the palace like this.

Nanny Su smiled and looked at Qingyue in Bai Jiyue's arms. Bai Jiyue tried to hand Qingyue to Nanny Su, but Qingyue seemed very resistant and kept shrinking into her arms.

Bai Jiyue thought for a moment, then leaned over to whisper in Qingyue's ear: "Be good, Bao'er. I'll come to see you later. Go back with Nanny Su to change your wet clothes first, otherwise you'll get sick easily, and if you get sick you'll have to take bitter medicine!"

Qingyue raised her big watery eyes and blinked at her. Bai Jiyue smiled at her and nodded heavily. She seemed to believe it and slowly loosened her hands around her neck.

Nanny Su immediately came over and held Qingyue in her arms. Bai Jiyue waved to Qingyue and turned to leave.

Led by the palace servant, Bai Jiyue walked all the way back to the side hall. When Bai Jiri saw her, he immediately asked, "Where have you been?"

Bai Jiyue told Bai Jiri about the rescue, and Bai Jiri nodded: "Big sister, you did the right thing. That was a life, we can't just stand by and watch it die."

"I didn't leave my name." Bai Jiyue looked at his brother and said.

Bai Jiri nodded: "As we should. We can't rely on saving the princess to ask for a reward from the emperor. If we want to ask for a reward, we have to rely on our own abilities."

Bai Jiyue smiled slightly. She didn't tell her brother that she deliberately did not leave her name. Even if she did not leave her name, the emperor would sooner or later know who saved the princess.

She was not the kind of person who would use other people's lives as a bargaining chip, but saving the princess and getting her family out of the Dark Stone Wasteland was the best of both worlds, wasn't it? She didn't think it was a bad idea.

Just as she expected, about half an hour later, a palace servant came to announce the order: "Cen Changqing's subordinates, Bai Ji Ri and Bai Ji Yue, come to the palace to see the emperor——"

Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri looked at each other, both stood up and saluted, then followed the palace servants to the front hall.

After entering the front hall, the two men kept their heads down and walked to the high platform where the emperor was sitting and knelt down respectfully to pay their respects.

"Get up." The emperor's majestic voice sounded.

The two stood up to express their gratitude, and the Queen Mother spoke first: "Bai Jiyue, raise your head."

When Bai Jiyue heard the Queen Mother calling her name, she quickly looked up at her.

There was no appearance of the empress dowager in her memory, which showed that the original owner had never seen the empress dowager. Now when she looked up, she saw the face of an old lady who was well-maintained and full of wealth and nobility.

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips slightly raised, her smile looked very kind: "You saved Princess Qingyue?"

"It's a commoner girl." Bai Jiyue lowered his eyelids.

"You are good." The Queen Mother showed a satisfied expression, "Tell me what reward you want!"

Bai Jiyue knelt down and said respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother. I just did what I should do as a human being. I don't need any reward."

If she was in a hurry to get the reward now, it would make her seem like she was eager for quick success. She still had to act as if she didn't want anything in return.

"really?"

"Every word I say comes from my heart, without any lies or deception!"

"Okay! Since you said you don't want a reward, then I won't give you one." The Queen Mother said loudly, "Stand up."

Bai Jiyue kowtowed and stood up, standing aside with Bai Jiri.

Cen Changqing stepped forward at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, these two subordinates of mine have accompanied me in escorting the birthday gifts to the capital. They have performed their duties loyally and wholeheartedly. They are truly rare talents."

The emperor nodded: "They are indeed talented, especially Bai Jiyue. As a woman, she can serve the country like a man. It is not easy."

In this strange world, the human race is not too strict about women entering officialdom. However, men have always been stronger than women in terms of martial arts, and coupled with the influence of the traditional idea of ​​supporting their husbands and raising children, very few women are willing to enter officialdom. Among the subordinates who entered the palace today, she is the only woman.

Bai Jiyue thanked him quickly and said, "As long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I am actually willing to be a lady at home doing embroidery. However, my whole family has been convicted, so I have to work hard to serve the country in order to atone for my father's sins."

"What crime?" the emperor asked casually.

Bai Jiyue didn't answer, and Cen Changqing beside her said for her: "Your Majesty, they are the children of the criminal Bai Shousheng."

The emperor's expression changed slightly, and his gaze towards Bai Jiyue became sharper again.

Bai Jiyue lowered his eyes.

"I plan to reward you. Tell me, what reward do you want?" The emperor asked after a while.

Bai Jiyue knelt down and touched the ground with her forehead: "I don't want any reward, I just want to ask for forgiveness for my frail mother and young sister."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you want me to pardon you?"

"My daughter and I have grown up. We are willing to atone for our father's sins and sacrifice our lives for the emperor at any time. We only ask that Your Majesty pardon the exile of my mother and sister. The Dark Stone Wasteland is harsh and they are weak. It is too difficult for them to live."

The emperor stopped talking and his face turned gloomy.
