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

After hearing what the emperor said, Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu immediately knelt on the ground and cried out their injustice to the emperor.

Princess Ruyu cried, "Your Majesty, why is this happening? Why don't we understand...why does Your Majesty do this?"

"What have we done to make His Majesty so angry? Even if the emperor wants us to die, and we have to die... shouldn't we explain the matter clearly?"

Looking at the few crocodile tears falling from the two of them, Bai Lu was burning with anger!

Then the emperor said in a cold voice: "Aren't you the ones who ruined the reputation of Lady Bailu and Miss Murong? I have already found the evidence, and you are still quibbling here?!"

"Where is Zhou Langya? Send someone to call General Zhou up immediately!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Zhang immediately bowed, then hurried downstairs and called Zhou Langya up.

Not long after, Zhou Langya came in and quickly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you called me."

"Come on, throw the evidence in their faces!"

Zhou Langya's face was cold as he glanced at Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu.

When Princess Ruyu saw Zhou Langya's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, and then saw Zhou Langya quickly throw the two servants of the Bai family up.

Zhou Langya said in a cold voice: "These two servants of the Bai family are Xie and Princess Ruyu's confidants. This is known to everyone in the Bai Mansion."

"When Lord Bai and Bai Zhiyi entered the palace, Xie and Princess Ruyu had already sent someone to spread the news privately...They had these two people take three thousand taels of silver and bribe countless beggars throughout the capital, spreading the news that Miss Bai and Miss Murong were kidnapped by robbers in a dilapidated temple!"

"These two servants were very greedy. When they took the silver to pass it on, they stuffed several hundred more silver bills into their pockets and hid them under the bed. They were found by our men."

As he said this, he took out two silver notes worth two hundred taels and handed them to the emperor.

When the emperor and Eunuch Zhang saw this, they couldn't help but shake their heads and went to look at Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu.

Lord Bai pointed at Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu and said angrily, "How dare you two do such a shameful thing!"

Two slaps! They landed directly on their faces.

Princess Ruyu crawled into Xie's arms and sobbed, "Father... I didn't do this at all. It was all done by mother..."

"This matter has nothing to do with me."

Xie gritted her teeth, stuffed Princess Ruyu into her arms, and said to Lord Bai, "Master, why do you believe what General Zhou said!"

"Ruyu is still young and doesn't know the depth of the situation. She said the wrong thing in a hurry! I didn't do such a thing. It was the servants who did it! Maybe these two servants were bribed by Bai Zhiyi. Isn't Bai Zhiyi also a member of the Bai Mansion?!"

Lord Bai was so angry that he couldn't help but slap himself twice, and then he felt darkness all over his eyes!

He never expected that the illegitimate daughter born to his concubine, and this concubine, would actually harm his own daughter!

In the final analysis...it's all my fault. If I hadn't been unfaithful and had given birth to so many children, how could I have gotten into all these troubles?

Lord Bai kicked Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu so hard that Princess Ruyu vomited blood! Mrs. Xie was also in pain and was lying on the ground, holding her stomach.

Then Lord Bai pointed at Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu and said angrily, "You two bitches, pack up your things and get out of the Bai Mansion!"

As he said this, he immediately knelt on the ground, his face looked very ugly, as if he was ten years older than before, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty... Please forgive me."

The emperor pointed at Lord Bai and the queen and snorted, saying, "Your Bai family is really good. One by one... you actually raised so many unfilial children."

"Okay, okay! Then Queen, you don't have to be the Queen anymore. It's time for your Bai family to be punished."

The emperor pointed at Lord Bai and said, "Bai Yansong will be demoted to a commoner from now on, suspended from his post and will be dealt with later!"

"Queen, I consider that you have been in the harem for a long time and are unfamiliar with worldly affairs, so I will not depose you for the time being. However... your Queen's Phoenix Seal will be temporarily handed over to your mother."

"When this storm is over, you can take control of the Phoenix Seal again."

But it is estimated that within the next two or three years, the Queen will not take back the power of the harem.

Moreover, for a queen, even her Phoenix Seal was taken away. What’s the difference between that and being deposed?

The queen's face was pale and she was in despair. She knelt on the ground and shed tears silently. She said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, no matter how you punish me... I will accept it. But please don't take your anger out on the prince. He is innocent!"

"He had always been speaking in Miss Bailu's favor before."

Hearing this, the emperor sighed and said to Eunuch Zhang: "Let the prince reflect on his mistakes in the East Palace for a while and copy the Ksitigarbha Sutra a hundred times."

"His mother did such a shameful thing, and he also had a share of blame for not trying to persuade her. If he had tried to persuade her, how could the Bai family and his mother be so rampant!?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang also sighed and said to the emperor: "Yes, Your Majesty! I will pass it on right away."

As he spoke, the emperor's eyes were filled with rage, and the way he looked down at everyone was like an approaching thunder.

The emperor looked at Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu and said, "Come here, drag them both away and let them choose carefully how they want to die!"

Having said that, Eunuch Zhang dragged the two of them away.

Bai Lu remained unmoved as she watched them being dragged away.

Although they were in a very miserable state and were about to die, Bai Lu felt sad at heart.

Because even if they died a thousand or ten thousand times, could the damage inflicted on themselves and Miss Murong be changed? !

Bai Lu said to the emperor with an unpleasant expression: "Your Majesty, the next priority... is to think of a way to change the reputation of Miss Murong and me."

"Otherwise, when I return to Liangzhou, my business will be greatly hindered."

"Miss Murong...can't survive either."

Of course, I am not afraid of rumors, but it would be bad if it affects my business.

They can say whatever they want, but when it comes to practical interests, Bai Lu will have to think for a while and come up with a good idea.

Now that Bai Lu has been conferred the title of Marquis of Anguo, he thought that he would be able to do business smoothly. However, with such a title hanging over his head, it is like swallowing a fly. He feels sick whether he is dead or alive.

Seeing Bai Lu's unhappy face, the emperor quickly came down from the throne and comforted Bai Lu: "Hey, Lady Bai, don't be sad."

"I know about this matter, and I will definitely handle it for you."

His face looked a little ugly and a little flustered. He thought that he should have been nicer to Bai Lu and said a few more words to her earlier.

...Hey, if I had said a few more words to Bai Lu before, would Bai Lu be closer to me now and not be so distant with me? !

Seeing Bai Lu's cold face, the emperor felt exhausted. Then he said to Bai Lu: "Lady Bai, don't worry. I will definitely give you and Miss Murong an explanation for this matter."

"Hui Zhou and I have thought about this before. If your and Miss Murong's reputations are seriously affected, at worst I will grant you and Miss Murong a marriage."

"The prince is still unmarried, so why not marry Miss Murong to him as his concubine? What do you think?"
