Chapter 56: Chapter 56 The Emperor should send the Princess away first

Bai Xilie prepared to attend the court session and walked into the inner hall, gently kissing his daughter’s soft little cheek.

However, this caused Bai Zhi’er’s eyelashes to flutter, and she slowly woke up.

"Daddy~" The little one’s voice was soft and mushy from just waking up.

A round, pink little face, looking so delicate and adorable.

She was as milky white as a glutinous rice ball, stretching out her little arms and legs in a lazy stretch.

Bai Xilie, seeing his daughter so soft and cute, couldn’t help but pinch her little nose.

"Did Daddy wake you up? Zhi’er, sleep a little more, it’s not daylight yet. After Daddy comes back from court, I’ll join you for breakfast."

Attend court?

Bai Zhi’er suddenly thought about today’s morning court, where those ministers would definitely make things difficult for Daddy over the smallpox issue!

The little one was no longer sleepy and sat up with a roll.

"Daddy, I will go with you!"

This morning at court, all the ministers had solemn expressions.

When they saw the Emperor entering with the Princess, some of their faces showed subtle expressions.

Bai Zhi’er was dressed in red today, like a joyful New Year doll.

The little one looked around from her father’s arms.

She noticed Feng Fuce standing in the first row of military officers.

He actually came today.

The young man’s cold, deep black eyes met Bai Zhi’er’s gaze.

The little one puffed her pink cheeks and quickly blinked her long eyelashes at him.

Feng Fuce silently sneered, then withdrew his gaze.

Shortly after the morning court began, the ministers began to report the issue of smallpox one after another.

"Emperor, dozens of people infected with smallpox have already been found in the city. If no solution is found soon, the foundation of the nation will be seriously threatened!"

A straightforward minister on the side retorted, "What solution? Do you think this is an ordinary cold? This is smallpox! From past to present, there has never been a cure!"

"Then what should we do? Do we just ignore the sick?"

"What good does it do to them! What’s urgent now is to ensure the safety of those not yet infected!"

The ministers had different opinions, arguing fervently.

Bai Xilie observed silently, not speaking.

Perhaps considering his daughter’s presence, he didn’t lose his temper, instead, his gaze was chilling as he watched.

Finally, a historian quietly stepped forward.

"Emperor, this morning before court, I heard some rumors in the streets."

"Historian Wang, why are you bringing up irrelevant rumors at this time?"

The historian, however, spoke solemnly, "This matter concerns the Emperor and the fate of the nation. Even if it might be false, as someone receiving the Emperor’s grace, I must share my concerns."

Bai Xilie squinted, "Let’s hear it."

The historian cupped his hands, "There are claims that the current Princess Cui Cuo is a harbinger of misfortune, and that smallpox erupted only after her appearance."

"I understand the Emperor’s difficulty in finding his daughter, such remarks are unbelievable. However, with the current situation in the capital, smallpox is on the verge of a full outbreak. I have a proposal that could protect Her Highness, while also addressing the rumors."

The fierceness in Bai Xilie’s eyes intensified.

The muscles in his fists tensed.

Bai Zhi’er looked up, her bright black eyes gazing at her father.

She noticed Bai Xilie’s jawline was tightly clenched, clearly suppressing his anger.

He glanced at Feng Fuce, the latter understood and placed one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

Bai Xilie smiled faintly, his tone icy, "Go on."

Historian Wang said, "The Emperor should first send the Princess away to a mountain in the suburb, where there are three temples, considered a sacred place of Zen, a realm of the Bodhisattva."

"That place is full of auspiciousness. If the Princess goes there, not only will it be isolated from the capital, ensuring she does not get infected, but it will also give us time to deal with the smallpox in the city. Once everything settles, the Princess can be brought back."
