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

"???"

"!!!"

"What? General Li is gone just like that."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

They looked at each other, all of them were confused at this moment, General Li just died like this? !

The prince had never expected that things would develop to this point.

At this time... the focus is not whether Haitang can be found or not. The prince is in a hurry to go in: "I want to go in and see General Li."

Bai Lu nodded and sighed, "Your Highness, please go in by yourself."

"Others should not go in."

"Let's call everyone we need to come over and collect General Li's body."

After hearing this, everyone understood Bai Lu's meaning. The corpse had to be kept tidy.

If so many people were allowed in at the same time, they might bump into the corpses.

General Murong and General Shi both stayed outside, watching the house.

General Murong murmured, "I vaguely remember... when Lao Li went out to fight with us at the beginning, no matter how badly he was injured, he could survive. I didn't expect him to die like this."

"Yes, he was very lucky at that time. He was fine even though six or seven arrows were stuck in his body."

"Once he fell off a cliff a hundred meters high and he survived. I didn't expect...he would be gone like this now."

Bai Qingze said calmly, "General Li has already embraced the desire to die, so he is like this."

"Yes."

People like this who are blessed by God and have good luck will only die if they want to die.

General Murong glanced at Bai Lu. His eyes turned red at this time and he even felt like hating Bai Lu.

But what’s the use of resenting others?

This was originally done by General Li...Now he is just committing suicide out of fear of punishment.

General Shi looked up at Bai Lu and said, "General Li... let's just forget about this matter. Although he was the one who rescued Haitang, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment. Your Majesty... shouldn't punish the women in his family in the future, right?"

Bai Lu didn't say anything.

General Murong said anxiously: "Since he has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, let's not pursue this matter, right? It can be considered complete... your friendship?"

Bai Lu still didn't say anything.

"..."

Well, General Murong felt that he was also getting anxious.

General Shi saw that General Murong had nothing to say, so he continued to say to Bai Lu: "By the way, can we two go in and take a look at General Li at this time?"

"After all, we have been friends with General Li for many years, and we have fought alongside him and experienced life and death together."

"Others may not go, but we two must go."

Bai Lu thought about it and let the two of them go.

After looking at it, General Shi and General Murong were sure that General Li was dead, and they came out crying.

Soon, a crowd of people gathered at General Li's mansion.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor Retired also came over when they heard that General Li had died.

For a moment, the bad news left them all a little confused.

The little moons didn't come over, because it's better not to let the children come at this time.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor came over not only to see General Li's body, but they were also confused: How did General Li die? Why did he suddenly commit suicide out of fear of punishment?

The Emperor and the Empress also sent Zhang Zongguan and Hongying to see the situation. Bai Yansong, Bai Chuyao, and Bai Liezhao from the Bai family were all there, as well as the Duke of Anguo, the Duke of Liang, Wang Shoufu, and Pei Huizhou.

All the prominent figures in the court came.

After all, General Li was their colleague. Now that he committed suicide out of fear of crime, they had to come and take a look at the situation, and also to comfort General Li's family.

General Li was a nice person when he was alive, so they had some personal relationship with General Li's family.

The reason why so many people came together was to tell Bai Lu to relax and stop killing General Li's family.

Otherwise, with Bai Lu's status and position, it would not be difficult for her to sentence General Li's family to exile with just a word in front of the emperor.

If only Haitang was rescued, it wouldn't be a big deal, but... General Li's death directly cut off the clues, and the mastermind behind the swap of Bai Lu and Bai Zhiyi could no longer be found.

When Bai Lu saw so many people gathered in front of her and begged for mercy one by one, she also fell silent.

In the main hall, Duke Anguo glanced at Bai Lu. He didn't have a good impression of Bai Lu in the beginning. Now seeing Bai Lu's sour face, he had even less good impression of her.

I don’t know what happened to Bai Lu. How could she force General Li to death?

Alas... But this matter is indeed General Li's fault. Although Duke Anguo has a close personal relationship with General Li and even has a very good relationship with General Li, and feels very sorry for General Li, he can't say anything bad about Bai Lu now. He just forced a smile at Bai Lu and said to Bai Lu, "Well, Marquis Anguo, now you are also a mother, you should also know... Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. General Li did something wrong, but the women and children in his backyard did nothing wrong. I hope you can show mercy and let him go. You know, these children are all innocent."

Duke Liang also nodded. He took a sip of tea and said to Bai Lu, "My son is now under your care, and you treat him no differently than your own son. Since the Marquis is so kind-hearted, I think it shouldn't be a problem to release a few people, right?"

Pei Huizhou looked up at Bai Lu, and said to her with a half-smile, "Duke Anguo, why do you do so many useless things?"

"According to what I said, if anyone in General Li's mansion did something wrong, they should all be killed."

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his words were full of disapproval.

Hearing this, Bai Lu glanced at Pei Huizhou and said nothing.

The main hall was packed with people, all looking at each other.

The three brothers of the Bai family did not say anything at this time. They were on Bai Lu's side. If Bai Lu said to release them, they would release them. If Bai Lu said not to release them, then they would not release them.

The prince sighed and took a sip of tea.

At this time, the prince was next to Bai Lu, and his status was higher than Bai Lu's, but Bai Lu was the protagonist of this matter, so no one asked for the prince's opinion, but asked Bai Lu's opinion instead.

There were so many people in the main hall, and basically all the familiar people were there, including the annoying Bai Yansong. But at this time, Bai Lu looked around and found that General Shi and General Murong were not there.

Bai Lu asked directly: "By the way...where is General Shi, and General Murong?"
