The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 133: Injured By Her Own Power
Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Injured By Her Own Power
"What? An array was placed around her courtyard?" Bai Chunhua asked in surprise.
Bai Huiling was also surprised too. She did not pay much attention to Bai Xifeng recently because her father scolded her after they returned from the royal banquet. She did not have time to care about Bai Xifeng.
"Yes." Han Yunru nodded.
"But how?" Bai Chunhua asked.
"Apparently the third prince gave her some talented men." Han Yunru snorted.
"What?" Both Bai Chunhua and Bai Huiling were surprised once again.
"How can the fool prince have some outstanding men to spare and give them to Bai Xifeng just like that?" Bai Chunhua could believe herself.
"Well, it is just your father’s opinion. No one knows if it is the truth or not. But I also think it is weird. Why should a talented person work under a fool?" Han Yunru said.
Bai Chunhua also thought it was weird. No one would work under a person who did not have any future at all. She felt that she needed to ask the crown prince about that. If the idiot third prince had someone like that under him, would it be dangerous for the crown prince?
Not to mention, the second prince was also eyeing the crown prince’s position over the years. If the idiot third prince joined the battle too, it would be extremely dangerous to the crown prince himself.
"Mom, I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter." Bai Chunhua said.
"Hmm... I also think it is for the best. If there are more talented people under the idiot third prince, His Highness the Crown Prince should bring those people under his wing. It would be beneficial to His Highness the crown prince. Well, don’t go to Bai Xifeng’s courtyard for now." Han Yunru said.
Bai Huiling was curious about the array that was being placed around Bai Xifeng’s courtyard. She had never seen an array before. So, she was kind of interested in the array. She was thinking to go and see it later.
Han Yunru and Bai Huiling left after talking for a while. Han Yunru told Bai Huiling that she wanted to go and meet Old Madam Bai. Bai Huiling just nodded.
Bai Huiling did not plan to return to her courtyard yet. She wanted to go to Bai Xifeng’s courtyard. She wanted to see the array that her mother mentioned about.
"Xiao Mei, let’s go." Bai Huiling said.
"Where are we going to go, Young Miss?" Xiao Mei asked.
"To Bai Xifeng’s courtyard." Bai Huiling stated.
"Oh... Okay." Xiao Mei nodded.
It was not so weird for her young miss to go to the third young miss’s courtyard. She used to go there if she wanted to bully... Well, to meet Bai Xifeng to nourish their relationship.
However, she was kind of scared facing the third young miss recently after what happened to her young miss. She could feel that the third young miss changed. She was not the same as the old man.
She could cultivate now and was even stronger than her young miss. Not to mention, the second young miss was lying down on the bed right now because of the third young miss.
She did not want to be like the second young miss. She sighed in her heart. She could not understand why her young miss still wanted to provoke the third young miss after this. She should stay away from the third young miss.
However, she could disobey her young miss’s order. So, they went to the third young miss’s courtyard. Because this courtyard was very far from others, it was very silent. She felt chill when facing the silence.
"Young Miss, it seems there is no one here. Maybe the third young miss is not home yet. She probably goes out since she never goes before." Xiao Mei said.
Bai Huiling looked around. She did not see anything unusual at all. So, where was the array? She decided to enter the courtyard. She opened the door and walked in. Then, out of a sudden, she was back outside again, in front of the closed door.
"What?" Bai Huiling could not believe her eyes.
"Young Miss?" Xiao Mei was also surprised.
She followed her young miss to enter the courtyard but they were back outside. She did not know about the array. So she became scared.
"What is just happened?" Bai Huiling asked.
"I don’t know either." Xiao Mei shook her head.
Bai Huiling still wanted to enter the courtyard. So, she tried several times but the same thing kept happening. She began tired after a while. She became angry. So, she decided to bang on the door.
Neither Bai Huiling nor Xiao Mei heard any response from another side.
"Young Miss, there is no response. No one inside, I guess." Xiao Mei said.
Bai Huiling stared at the door. She stood as if she wanted to use her skill. Xiao Mei immediately stepped away from her young miss.
"Fireball." Bai Huiling shouted and a fireball appeared blasting on the door.
However, the fireball seemed to rebound back to Bai Huiling. The fireball hit her hand. She shouted in pain.
"Young Miss!" Xiao Mei shouted.
Bai Huiling suffered severe burns on her hand.
"Young Miss, let’s go and get some treatment. You can not delay this." Xiao Mei said.
This time, Bai Huiling did not refuse. They left the courtyard. They were practically running from the place. Bai Huiling wanted to see her mother. So, they went to her mother’s courtyard.
"Mom." Bai Huiling shouted.
Han Yunru who was mediating, opened up her eyes and came out after hearing her daughter’s shout. When she came out, she saw her daughter was crying. She rushed to get her daughter.
"What is going on here?" Han Yunru asked.
Bai Huiling was still crying, did not answer the question. So, Han Yunru turned her attention to Xiao Mei for an answer.
"Xiao Mei, explain." Han Yunru ordered.
Xiao Mei began to explain what had happened. Han Yunru had a long sigh when she heard that. She already warned her daughters not to go to Bai Xifeng’s courtyard earlier.
"Call the pharmacist to my courtyard. Telling him that my daughter suffered some burns on her hand and need a quick treatment." Han Yunru ordered a servant.
"Come in first." Han Yunru brought her daughter to her room.
Bai Huiling was crying in pain. She never got hit by her own fireball. She never knew that it was very painful.
"I already told you. Why can’t you listen to my words?" Han Yunru sighed.
"I just want to what kind of array that Bai Xifeng had at her courtyard. I never know that the array can do something like this." Bai Huiling whined.
"How brave you are. Even I am not as brave as you." Han Yunru scolded Bai Huiling.
The pharmacist came over. He treated Bai Huiling. She advised Bai Huiling to avoid water for the time being.
Han Yunru thanked the pharmacist and sent him away.
"Right now, you need to rest." Han Yunru said to Bai Huiling. Then she turned to Xiao Mei. "Bring her to her courtyard. Take good care of her."
"Yes, Second Madam." Xiao Mei nodded.
So, Bai Huiling and Xiao Mei left and returned to her courtyard. As for Han Yunru, she thought it was better to tell everyone in their house about this incident. She did not want her youngest son to suffer the same as his second sister.
First, Han Yunru needed to inform Old Madam Bai. She went to see Old Madam Bai again for today. Old Madam Bai was surprised when Han Yunru came to see her again today.
Han Yunru explained everything that happened to Bai Huiling.
"What? She had such a horrible array around her courtyard?" Old Madam Bai was surprised.
"Yes. Ling-er was injured because of that array. We need to tell everyone not to approach her courtyard." Han Yunru said.
"Call her right now. Let me speak to her about that." Old Madam Bai was angry when she heard that her granddaughter had been injured by Bai Xifeng.
Recently, her grandchildren were injured directly or indirectly because of Bai Xifeng.
"It seems Bai Xifeng went out. Recently, she went out a lot. Sometimes, she went out with her fiance." Han Yunru state.
"When she comes back, tell her to see me. I will put her in her place." Old Madam Bai said.
"Yes, Mother." Han Yunru nodded.
