"The emperor was ill and confused. My mother died of depression not long after my father was killed in the war."
Bai Yujing's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
Emperor Dongling fell into silence for a while, then lay back, staring blankly at the bright yellow curtain above his head, "Really? Why do I feel like I just saw her yesterday..."
"Weichen also feels that she has never left the White House."
Bai Yujing's voice was slightly cold, and Emperor Dongling noticed his strangeness, and then held his hand tightly, "I can't help you."
"Since you can't forgive me, and I have made a contribution this time, what are you going to reward me for?"
Bai Yujing put away the hostility without leaving a trace, and turned to smile in an unserious manner. Emperor Dongling's brows and eyes were full of helplessness, "Why do you want so much? How about you, the prime minister?"
"Hahaha, those old guys in the court are still not jumping up. Instead of becoming prime minister, they might as well give me a marriage."
Emperor Dongling seemed to be in much better spirits. When he mentioned the marriage grant, he immediately thought of the peaceful and divorced Doctor Xia, and frowned, "I'd better be the prime minister. How can a divorced woman be worthy of you?" "
"I have robbed so many married women, so what if I reconcile?" Bai Yujing didn't like Emperor Dongling's attitude very much, but the king on the bed only thought he was messing around.
"It's okay to have a romantic relationship. Marry her as your real wife... I will find a girl from an innocent family for you."
Bai Yujing struggled for a while, and Emperor Dongling gradually began to have a headache again. After pushing him away, he fell back weakly.
"Jie'er, why is this child so ridiculous? He is obviously as smart as you, but he still has my debauchery."
In his mind, the beautiful and pure face from many years ago came to mind again. After so many years, Emperor Dongling did not expect that he could still remember it so clearly.
Clutching his heart, all kinds of strong emotions surged in, making Emperor Dongling's breathing become more rapid. The long-lost longing surged in again like a tide, and he gradually fell into a dream.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew in, awakening the man on the dragon couch.
Emperor Dongling stood up weakly, thinking of everything in his dream just now, looking at his empty palms, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Jie'er, since you are back, why don't you still refuse to stay with me?"
clatter.
The huge bedroom was unusually quiet, and a sudden sound of footsteps instantly alerted Emperor Dongling.
"who?!"
He looked around and suddenly noticed a figure passing by the window quickly.
Emperor Dongling was a little displeased. Looking at the open window, someone dared to be so negligent and couldn't even do a small thing well. "Come here, who is in charge tonight?"
Unexpectedly, someone blew into his ear with a familiar tone.
"Your Majesty, the general will live up to his command."
Emperor Dongling's expression froze, and a chill suddenly shot up from the soles of his feet. How could he not recognize this voice?
But this man has obviously died in the battle!
He stood upright without moving for a long time, but his hand silently reached under the pillow and grasped the luxurious golden sword.
With a hiss, he unexpectedly pulled out his sword and slashed back. The sound of breaking through the air was particularly harsh, but only a section of the curtain was cut off. There was no suspicious figure!
Emperor Dongling's eyes widened, and when he came back to his senses, he was covered in sweat.
Is this a nightmare?
Haven't you woken up yet?
"Ah——" At this moment, a little palace maid who came in a hurry from outside didn't know what she saw, but she pointed behind Emperor Dongling in horror.
Emperor Dongling pursed his lips tightly, the hand holding the sword became more and more nervous, and he turned around faintly.
There was still no suspicious figure, but when he lowered his head, something like that appeared silently on the ground in front of the dragon couch, making him shake in shock.
The screams of the palace maids in the palace quickly attracted the guards outside. When the guards rushed in, they saw Emperor Dongling standing there upright, holding a sword and full of murderous intent.
On the ground, there was a pair of blood-stained silver helmets and an old white jade seal.
"No assassin, what is this?"
"This seems to be...the Bai family's handsome seal."
"Bai Jiajun?"
Everyone looked at each other, and with a thud, Emperor Dongling's body fell down again without warning.
The imperial doctors entered the palace overnight, and the entire palace was enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Everyone was alert, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Genius Meng Mengliang, the palace people responsible for cleaning the imperial garden pool got up early to do their work, clinker, a palace maid squatted by the pool for a long time, staring at a certain corner, her face turned pale.
"Still lazy?!" Mammy scolded her coldly, and then the palace maid came back to her senses and pointed at the mud tremblingly.
"Mom, mama, there is someone there..."
Anyone?
Everyone heard the sound and went away, only to see a looming gauze skirt floating in the mud. Grandma frowned and took a closer look, and her face suddenly changed with fear, "Quick, pick him up quickly!"
After the little girl's cold and stiff body was salvaged, someone recognized the swollen face.
"Oh my god, this seems to be the young lady from the Yongding Marquis Mansion!"
"Prince Liu has been searching in the palace for a long time, but he didn't expect that he was already..."
The ghost of the dead General Bai appeared in the emperor's palace, and the news that Liu Wenxin's body was recovered from the imperial garden spread all over the sky in an instant.
For some reason, General Bai's last battle that year was dug up and discussed again.
Various doubts arose one after another, and the incident occurred after Liu Wenxin performed a dance for the emperor. There were traces of abuse all over her body, and the reasons are self-evident.
"I heard that back then, the emperor was interested in General Bai's wife, so he specially sent the general to resist foreign invasion. General Bai was just newly married at that time, and there were obviously other candidates..."
"The battle was obviously not intense that time, and General Bai, who somehow used his troops like a god, was defeated. There is something fishy about this!"
"The emperor also appointed another deputy general at that time. It seems that he misinformed the enemy's situation, which led to General Bai being surrounded and killed. Later, the emperor blamed himself too much and took Mrs. Bai to stay in the palace for a few days."
"But didn't Mrs. Bai get pregnant later? Speaking of which, Mr. Bai was really miserable when he was young. He was hunted down by his enemies everywhere."
Several palace ladies passing by were whispering, and when they heard this, Xia Yunxian in the corner could not hide the shock on his face.
Next to her stood Xiao Junlan, who also looked unhappy.
"I didn't expect that the mistakes that the Emperor made when he was young and energetic were found out." He mentioned it casually, and then looked at Xia Yunxian worriedly, "Ms. Xia Yunxian, I have ordered someone to send Miss Liu back. I’m in the Marquis Mansion, please ask Dr. Xia to express my condolences.”
Xia Yunxian was originally thinking about when Liu Wenxin's body would appear, but it turned out that this time was chosen.
The ghost of General Bai? A battered body in the pool.
The two incidents together amounted to a shocking scandal.
Xia Yunxian lowered his head as if blaming himself, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I didn't expect that I had only been away from the Hou Mansion for so long, and Xin'er would..."
She secretly wondered why Xiao Junlan came to her, but she couldn't let him find out that she had already guessed Liu Wenxin's ending.
Until the warning voice sounded next to him, "Yi Xia, Yu Jing is in danger."
