In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu both nodded, and they followed Pei Huizhou into the imperial study.

Inside the imperial study, the emperor was anxiously waiting for Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu to come. When he saw that Pei Huizhou really brought Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu back, the emperor was completely relieved.

He quickly stepped forward and said to Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu, "Girls, is everything alright?"

Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu looked at each other. Before Murong Jinshu could say anything, Bai Lu's eyes suddenly turned red. She knelt on the ground and said resolutely with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am glad to see you at last."

"...I thought I would never see Your Majesty again and would die at the hands of those thugs."

As she said this, she took out her handkerchief and started crying.

She knelt on the ground, looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, if I am lucky enough to escape from those thugs and not die, but... I am afraid my innocence will be ruined. I am speechless in front of Your Majesty. I might as well kill myself!"

"I really didn't expect... that I came from Liangzhou and traveled thousands of miles to see Your Majesty, but ended up in such a shameful situation."

"If I had known earlier... I would not have come from Liangzhou. I would rather be an ordinary small merchant in Lianhua Town, Liangzhou, than come to Kyoto to meet Your Majesty and let Your Majesty see me in such a miserable state and embarrass me in front of Your Majesty!!"

Hearing this, the emperor sighed and felt extremely guilty.

He quickly helped Bai Lu up and said to her, "It's all my fault. I asked you to come here from Liangzhou, but I made you suffer so much injustice in Kyoto..."

"If I had known earlier, I would have protected you well and prevented you from suffering those grievances... Alas."

He looked at Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu and felt relieved.

At least, these two girls were not taken advantage of by those gangsters.

Then the emperor went to look at Murong Jinshu who was standing next to him. Murong Jinshu saw what Bai Lu meant, and she knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

This scared the emperor again!

Murong Jinshu was also really scared. At this moment, her eyes were red and swollen like a rabbit's eyes, and some of her true feelings were revealed.

Murong Jinshu cried to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I finally see you. I thought I would never come back..."

Bai Lu beside him quickly winked at Murong Jinshu, isn't this the line he just said? !

"..."

Murong Jinshu howled for a long time. She thought about her lines and didn't know what to say, so she just cried in front of the emperor.

Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu cried for such a long time in front of the emperor that the emperor was very embarrassed.

The emperor's mouth twitched and he felt extremely guilty.

I didn't expect Bai Zhiyi to be so vicious. He almost killed two young girls.

You know, if he fell into the hands of those gangsters, at least no one was killed and his innocence was not lost. If they had arrived a little later, the consequences would have been disastrous.

It just means that they are both lucky.

The emperor was furious and shouted, "Hurry up! Eunuch Zhang, go and call the queen and the others over."

"Let the Queen take a good look at what kind of person her niece is!"

As he spoke, the emperor seemed to realize something. He looked down at Bai Lu and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Hey, I originally wanted to say something... about Bai Lu’s true identity, but it doesn’t seem to be the right time right now.

It’s better to wait until Bai Qingze comes over and let him talk to Bai Lu in person.

Anyway, he didn't know anything about their family affairs. He didn't know whether Bai Lu was the real daughter of the Bai family, and he didn't know whether the things Bai Qingze said were true or false.

But now, the emperor must handle this matter properly for Bai Lu, the future baroness.

The emperor thought about it and decided to announce the title of baroness today. When the queen and others came later, he would tell them about this matter in person.

Not long after, the queen was hurriedly called over by Eunuch Zhang.

The queen's face was pale, and she naturally knew what had happened inside and outside the palace.

At this moment, the entire palace was in panic.

As soon as she came in, she knelt down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is all the fault of my mother's family. Please punish me."

"Our Bai family...will definitely give justice to Lady Bai and Miss Murong."

"You still know how to give them both justice!!"

"Look at your Bai Zhiyi and your brother Bai Yansong!!" "Bai Zhiyi taught Bai Niangzi and Murong girl a lesson. She could have done it alone. Your father and your eldest sister-in-law were probably involved too."

As he spoke, the emperor angrily rebuked the queen, saying: "Your Bai family is really good, relying on being the queen's mother's family, so you do these treasonous things here!!"

"If Bai Lu and Miss Murong really died in that dilapidated temple today, how can we explain to the people of the world? How can we explain to the military commanders of the world?!" "Do you still know the identities of Lady Bai and Miss Murong?!"

"!!!"

Hearing this, the queen knelt there trembling, saying nothing, but just kowtowing repeatedly.

Seeing that the queen’s head was almost broken, the emperor did not let her stop.

"..."

And then, the queen came.

The Queen Mother came running over, panting. After she came in, she rushed to the side of Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu and asked them with concern, "Are you okay?"

"..."

The Queen Mother looked at Bai Lu and Murong Jinshu carefully and saw that Bai Lu was crying, but when she blinked at her, she was completely relieved.

The Queen Mother stood up in frustration and immediately shouted at the Queen and the Emperor: "What a good thing you two did!"

"???"

The emperor pointed at himself, looking confused: "Is it my fault?"

"...I didn't do anything, mother."

The emperor felt a little guilty.

I just wanted to favor Bai Zhiyi because she is Bingyu's daughter.

But at this moment, Bai Zhiyi did such a shameful thing, and he certainly could not favor Bai Zhiyi. What's more...that Bai Zhiyi might not be Bingyu's real daughter.

The emperor glanced at Bai Lu, his eyes filled with confusion.

If Bai Lu is Bingyu's real daughter, then this matter would be very embarrassing.
