Bai Lan casually tucked the Sea-Tomb Flower in his hand into the man's hair. “Bai Ma can't leave the snowy mountains. Take a Sea-Tomb Flower with you.”
“Mother-in-law, you... you won't help me?”
Zhang Luotong's eyes widened in shock. He was about to start cursing when he turned and saw his clan uncle, Zhang Ruishan, and quickly fell silent.
A flicker of worry crossed Qi Dalei Bosiqi's eyes.
“Mingzhu, I want to go to Changbai Mountain and try my luck, see if I can heal your leg. The palace has officially arranged our marriage this year, and I want to cure your injuries completely before the wedding.”
A glimmer of tears appeared in Yehenara Mingzhu's eyes. “It's dangerous, Qi Baobao. I don't want you taking that risk. I can still live like this.”
The young heir smiled, warmth flickering in his eyes. “My little princess, I know you're in pain. When I come back, I'll bring something that can heal your leg, so you won't need opium anymore. Promise me you'll use less while I'm gone.”
“Mingzhu, when I return, I'll marry you with a grand procession and ten miles of wedding gifts. And our daughter will never have her feet bound.”
A tear fell from the corner of Yehenara Mingzhu's eye.
The young heir brushed the tear away with his thumb and tasted it. Clutching the gem-inlaid Mongolian knife carved with auspicious clouds, he left the manor with firm resolve.
The unlucky Zhang Xiao Guan had just turned nine that year when he was pushed onto the Holy Infant's platform and forced into this struggle for power.
In the tiny single room,
Zhang Xiao Guan and Bai Lan, one boy and one butterfly, sat around a little oil lamp, sighing again and again.
“A Nei, I...”
Zhang Xiao Guan had barely started speaking when Bai Lan interrupted him.
[Telepathy: Shh, don't speak. Keep up the aloof act.]
