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

"..."

When the emperor saw what Bai Lu was holding, his expression became even uglier.

Then the prince continued, "In the end... General Shi actually took the opportunity to commit suicide! We thought... we had stopped him... but now that he has killed the two witnesses, he can be cleared of many sins."

After hearing these words, the emperor glanced at Pei Huizhou, went up and slapped him again, and said angrily: "You evil creature!!!"

"Listen! What have you done?"

Pei Huizhou sneered, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Even when being beaten by the emperor, he seemed to be not afraid at all. He just stood straight and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you really believe...what Bai Lu and the prince said? Just based on these, can you convict me immediately?!"

"That seems to make sense."

The emperor nodded and frowned as he asked, "Then I want to ask you, what happened to Bai Lu's wound on her hand? If you hadn't broken into the East Palace, how could the two of them tie you up? And how could your sword have hurt Bai Lu?!"

"I know your sword. When it injures someone, the wound on the hand is so deep that the skin and flesh are exposed, and the bone can be seen! Look at Bai Lu's hand, it was almost torn into pulp."

As he said this, the emperor said to Bai Lu with great concern, "Don't be anxious, Marquis Anguo. You two can sit down first."

"Come here, call the imperial physician! Bandage the Marquis of Anguo first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Soon, the imperial physician came.

After the imperial physician came over to bandage Bai Lu, Bai Lu sat down and slowly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these words...I absolutely cannot team up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to frame Lord Pei."

"After all, if the two of us framed Lord Pei Huizhou, what good would that do us?"

The emperor nodded, but before he could say anything, he heard Pei Huizhou's voice beside him speak sarcastically.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Marquis Anguo, please don't be in a hurry to frame me."

"Your Majesty, if they both have their own arguments, then I also have my own arguments."

"What do you have to say?"

The prince was amused. He crossed his arms and looked at Pei Huizhou leisurely from the side. He said in a cold voice, "I want to see what conspiracy you have up your sleeve."

"Even though you have killed both witnesses and there is no evidence left...but you should know that you broke into the East Palace and messed it up. Everyone in the East Palace saw it! It is also a foregone conclusion that you hurt Bai Lu. I want to see how you explain it."

Afterwards, Pei Huizhou kowtowed to the emperor and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I want to report that the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Anguo have an affair. This crime is unforgivable!"

"what?!"

When the prince and Bai Lu heard this, they were immediately stunned!

They both stood up at the same time.

Before Bai Lu could say anything, the prince's face flushed red and he angrily shouted to the emperor, "Father, I don't have any!"

Bai Lu also quickly said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any."

"Alright, alright, just be patient."

The emperor felt his eyes go dark and he couldn't believe that such a thing could happen.

He really couldn't believe it.

But when the prince and Bai Lu said that Pei Huizhou did such a thing, she didn't dare to believe it.

So... the emperor thought about it, rubbed his aching head, and said to Pei Huizhou: "How about this, you also tell me about this matter, let me listen carefully and see what is going on."

"I dare not believe either of these two things."

Why not let them both talk about what's going on? Let's finish first. We have to give Pei Huizhou a chance to speak.

Pei Huizhou immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I came to the East Palace, firstly to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Marquis Anguo to save Haitang and General Shi, and secondly... to take a good look at Lady Bai and see if there is anything wrong with her."

"Because I am attracted to Lady Bai."

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Bai Lu felt as if she had been struck by lightning and felt extremely sick.

What? Pei Huizhou must have lost his mind. He actually said that he liked himself in front of the emperor... It was really disgusting.

Seeing Bai Lu's complicated expression, Pei Huizhou pretended to be affectionate and spoke to Bai Lu with a trembling voice.

"Bai Lu, even though you don't like me, I really like you."

"I have always been fond of you, otherwise why would I always care about you so much?"

"From the first moment I saw you, I liked you very much. Otherwise...how could I have immediately concluded that you had nothing to do with King Cheng and the others, and that you were not a spy who deliberately let the remnants of King Cheng go!"

"I have protected you many times in the palace, and in Liangzhou... I even let you go. After injuring Haitang, I brought her back to Kyoto. Because of this, I was scolded by Bai Yansong and the Queen Mother."

"If I didn't like you, why would I do this?"

"..."

Bai Lu felt very silent after listening to these words.

If I didn't know that Pei Huizhou was a bad guy, I would probably... have really believed it at this time. After all, these words were actually quite convincing.

The emperor was listening nearby, with a look of gossip in his eyes.

Pei Huizhou continued, "However... I have always been very introverted. Lady Bai, you have not shown any love for me, so I dare not act rashly. So I can only stay by your side and protect you silently."

"...I never dared to tell you before, but this time when I went to the East Palace, I actually saw the Crown Prince and you, Bailu, standing together. The Crown Prince was confessing his love to you and expressing his feelings to you...I felt very uncomfortable at that time."

"That would be fine, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually wanted to touch your hand! I raised my sword to stab the Crown Prince!"

"As a result, the prince dodged immediately and used Haitang to block the sword. A big hole immediately appeared on Haitang's body, and I killed her directly."

"As I thrust my sword forward, I saw you, Bailu, come forward and grab my sword, and tell me not to kill him..."

"So I caused a big disturbance in the entire East Palace, and the Crown Prince's secret guards immediately detained me."

"!!!"
