Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 607: Father’s Letter

As for those writing brushes, inks, papers, and inkstones, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli didn’t feel much, but Bai Sasa and Xiao Yu were very happy.

They carried the blood of the Bai Family and had an innate passion for such scholarly pursuits, whereas Ah Dao and others, upon seeing the writing materials, were instantly reminded of

the times when they had to copy characters in order to eat, a trace of melancholy silently crossing their faces.

Upon arriving in the Imperial Capital, they couldn’t help but wonder if they would have to repeat those old days.

That would be too miserable.

The Minister of Rites sent them writing materials; of all things, why these? This wasn’t a thank-you gift; it was clearly something meant to punish them.

The Minister of Rites didn’t notice the Seven-Person Team’s woeful expressions behind him.

His visit was to give thanks, and also to fulfill the commission of an old friend.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli tactfully led him to the Snow Garden.

The Minister of Rites had never imagined that such a tidy corner could be arranged within the dilapidated Bai Residence.

Looking at the refreshing courtyard, the Minister of Rites became wistful.

"Truly, how unpredictable life is. The passing of your father was so sudden and regrettable."

Seeing the demeanor of the Minister of Rites, could it be that he knew something? Bai Junjun couldn’t help asking.

"What exactly happened back then?"

The Minister of Rites shook his head, "I’m not clear on the details."

Turning back to three years prior,

the Minister of Rites had just left the palace when he encountered the Patriarch of the Bai Family being hurriedly summoned to the palace. At that time, the Patriarch only had Li Changfeng with him, and both of their expressions were grave.

The Minister of Rites sensed trouble and feigned enthusiasm as he greeted them, and although the guiding eunuch said nothing, his eyes were filled with seriousness and caution.

The Minister of Rites, with a lively mind, knew that something significant might have happened.

After leaving the palace, he chose not to go far but instead waited in his horse carriage for the Patriarch of the Bai Family to come out, only to receive the news of the city’s fall.

The Minister of Rites was among the first to rush into the Imperial Palace and found eunuchs carrying out two corpses.

He looked closely and saw they were none other than the Patriarch of the Bai Family and Li Changfeng.

At that moment, the Feathered Forest Guards rushed in, shouting as they ran, "The Imperial Capital City has fallen, be on full alert, the Imperial Capital City has fallen, be on full alert."

That repeated cry echoed through the silent palace.

While the Feathered Forest Guards went to report to the Former Emperor, the Minister of Rites instinctively followed the eunuchs carrying the bodies.

The eunuchs were already frightened; after all, they were carrying the corpses of the Patriarch of the First Shi Clan, and it seemed absurd to them that the patriarch had died so abruptly, and then the news of the city’s fall came the next second.

The eunuchs felt as though lightning had struck from heaven.

With the nation in crisis, what more were they to care for the corpses?

The people hastily dumped the bodies on the ground and all scurried to salvage their valuables.

It was this chaos that allowed the Minister of Rites the opportunity to examine the two men closely.

By that time, the Patriarch of the Bai family lay pale and bloodied, already passed on, whereas Li Changfeng had a dagger in his abdomen but still clung to a shred of life.

Both had clearly taken their own lives.

As Li Changfeng neared death and saw the Minister of Rites, he pulled a letter from his sleeve.

"Should the chance arise, please deliver this letter to my son," he said.

With those words, Li Changfeng also departed from this world.

The Minister of Rites hastily tucked the letter into his sleeve, and just as he got to his feet, he heard Eunuch Zou’s terrified voice coming from the palace.

"Someone come quickly, His Majesty... His Majesty has fainted, summon the Imperial Physician at once."

And so, the already chaotic Imperial Harem descended further into disorder.

However, the arrival of the Imperial Physician did nothing to help, as the Emperor suddenly passed away, leaving everyone stunned.

The Emperor’s heart ailment struck both fiercely and rapidly, beyond their power to remedy!
