Chapter 48 Zhao Wentai's Visit

Bai Mingxue returned to the Bai family alone. Her current house had moved from a remote courtyard to a luxurious courtyard.

She didn't care much about these external things. She just wanted to move to a comfortable place so that she could take better care of her sister.

Several servants behind her carried several large wooden boxes, following her. These boxes contained the spirit stones and monster materials she had obtained this time, which were worth at least four or five thousand spirit stones.

She told them to put these things in the wing room, and then rushed to the inner courtyard to check on her sister.

"Miss Mingxue."

"You are back..."

Two maids in simple clothes saw Bai Mingxue and said respectfully.

These two people were specially selected by Bai Wenjing to take care of Bai Xiaoqing.

"How is my sister?!" Bai Mingxue asked the two.

"Miss Xiaoqing is still the same, there is no change..." one person said in a low voice.

Bai Mingxue was not surprised by this.

"You can leave first, I will take care of her myself." She said.

"Yes!"

The two maids left in a hurry.

Bai Mingxue sat down on the bed quietly.

On the bed at this moment, there was a girl who looked about seven or eight years old.

The girl had her eyes closed, her face was pale, and she was motionless.

Looking closely, she looked a bit like Bai Mingxue, but her brows were furrowed, her cheeks were sunken, and she was particularly thin.

In addition, the girl's hair was white like Bai Mingxue's, but the ends of her hair were black.

Bai Mingxue gently lifted the quilt, revealing the girl's extremely thin figure, like a skeleton.

There was a hideous scar on the girl's left arm, and from the scar, there were countless fine black lines spreading, which looked particularly creepy.

Bai Mingxue was no longer surprised by this.

Her sister Bai Xiaoqing had been in this state for nearly ten years.

She was only four or five years younger than her, but her body size was not as good as that of an eight-year-old child.

At this moment, she was like a candle in the wind, her vitality was extremely fragile, but such a small flame of life, under Bai Mingxue's persistence and care, still burned for ten years.

"Xiaoqing, do you think father was right at that time..."

"If what he said was true, why would he..."

Bai Mingxue held Bai Xiaoqing's arm and whispered softly.

Before she could continue, the maid outside suddenly said.

"Miss Mingxue, the third prince is here to visit you."

The third prince!!

Bai Mingxue's body trembled, she quickly put down Bai Xiaoqing's arm, and covered the quilt tightly, then stood up and said.

"I know, I'll go to greet him now..."

Then, she came to the gate of the courtyard and saw Zhao Wentai, who was standing outside the gate with an extraordinary temperament.

And the blood knife man who was behind Zhao Wentai, who was always with him.

"Meet the third prince." Bai Mingxue said respectfully, her tone was still so cold.

Zhao Wentai chuckled and said gently: "Mingxue, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to be so restrained."

"Mingxue dare not." Bai Mingxue was unmoved.

Zhao Wentai did not say much, but naturally changed the subject: "I know your sister has a very rare and serious disease. I wonder if I can go and see her. Maybe I can find a way."

Hearing this, Bai Mingxue glanced at the blood knife man not far away, and she stepped aside half of her body and said.

"Of course."

"Your Highness, please follow me."

Although Bai Mingxue did not want to contact Zhao Wentai, it was not easy to refuse.

If the other party dared to do anything to her...

Her hand was placed on the sword beside her intentionally or unintentionally, and this move was also noticed by the blood knife man. He raised his eyebrows and looked a little playful.

Zhao Wentai followed Bai Mingxue to the room where Bai Xiaoqing was lying. He asked the blood knife man to wait outside and entered the room alone.

Seeing Bai Xiaoqing lying motionless on the bed, Zhao Wentai's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Is this Xiaoqing?"

"What a poor child..."

Zhao Wentai looked distressed. He walked forward and gently touched Bai Xiaoqing's head.

This action was completely seen by Bai Mingxue.

A strange look flashed in her eyes.

Because she was surprised to notice that when Zhao Wentai's hand brushed over Bai Xiaoqing's head, a hair of Bai Xiaoqing was pulled down by him and disappeared in an instant.

Bai Mingxue was gifted, with a clear sword heart and meticulous observation. Although this scene was too obscure, she was still noticed by her meticulous mind.

Why did Zhao Wentai take a hair of Xiaoqing? !

Speaking of which, in the past, Xiaoqing's hair would automatically dissipate and turn into ashes in less than two days after being separated from her body.

This phenomenon should be related to her strange disease.

But what is Zhao Wentai's purpose? !

Bai Mingxue saw a ring on his middle finger, thinking that the ring was similar to a storage bag, and the hair was hidden in it by Zhao Wentai.

It seems that Zhao Wentai's purpose is not that simple.

At this time, Zhao Wentai took his hand back, as if nothing happened, and asked Bai Mingxue.

"I heard from the head of the Bai family that Xiaoqing's illness was contracted after your father left?"

"I don't want to stir up your bad memories, but asking these questions will help Xiaoqing's illness."

Bai Mingxue heard this and said calmly: "I can't remember."

"I was still young at that time, it seems to be that time period..."

Zhao Wentai narrowed his eyes slightly, and an invisible aura was released from his body.

"Is that so..."

"Did your father say anything to you before he left?"

"No, I was sleeping with my sister at that time, and it was the next day when I knew about it." Bai Mingxue's tone remained unchanged.

"Well..." Zhao Wentai did not continue to ask questions in this regard, but asked some questions about Bai Xiaoqing's symptoms and past treatment.

For these questions, Bai Mingxue answered meticulously, and there was no problem.

After asking these questions, Zhao Wentai still smiled, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

"Okay, I already understand the general problem. I'm sorry that I don't know the specific reason."

"But don't worry, Mingxue. In two months, I will take you and your sister to the imperial city and ask the best doctor in the imperial city to treat her!!"

"Your sister will definitely get better!!"

Zhao Wentai said sincerely, and anyone who saw it would have to praise him as a responsible man.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Third Prince." Bai Mingxue bowed and saluted.

"Okay, Mingxue, I still have some things to deal with in the imperial city. I will pick you up after everything is settled." Zhao Wentai finally glanced at Bai Xiaoqing's quilt, then retracted his gaze, stood up and said.

He seemed very anxious, and Bai Mingxue naturally didn't intend to keep him.
