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

The little moons looked at each other and then spoke in soft and obedient voices.

"My uncle went to the imperial kitchen this morning. It seemed like something happened... He happened to think of us, so he took us with him."

"...The prince went to the imperial kitchen?"

The Queen Mother was listening nearby and found it a little strange. She smiled at Bai Lu and said, "The Crown Prince hasn't been to the Imperial Kitchen for 800 years. I don't know why he went today. I guess there must be something important going on."

Bai Lu pondered for a while, but what else could be the important matter?

After Bai Lu and a few little moons finished their meal, they went to the East Palace, intending to find the prince to discuss the affairs of General Shi’s mansion.

In addition, she had to discuss with the Crown Prince to release the women in General Shi’s mansion.

General Li, General Murong and others also told Bai Lu about this matter, and their meaning was roughly this: the women in General Shi's mansion had nothing to do with this matter, and they all asked Bai Lu to show leniency and show mercy.

Although it was just a show when the women in General Li's mansion were released before, if such a thing happened to General Shi, Bai Lu would also be willing to release the women in General Shi's mansion.

In the East Palace, the prince was already waiting for Bai Lu in the study.

Seeing Bai Lu coming, the prince waved his sleeves at Bai Lu.

The boy looked refreshed. "Cousin Bailu, you're here."

Seeing the prince's happy face and his new clothes made of brocade and embroidered with gold patterns...

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows and said to the prince, "Your Highness, is there any good news? Why are you so happy?"

The prince was amused when he saw Bai Lu asking this.

The prince looked at Bai Lu with a smile, like a pug looking forward to a chicken thigh: "Cousin, you will know later."

"Oh."

Bai Lu was stunned, and then she quickly asked the prince, "Speaking of which... there is one more thing. Your Highness, did you take the seven little moons to the imperial kitchen this morning?"

The prince nodded, feeling a little guilty: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Bai Lu shook her head. Seeing that the prince didn't say anything, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she said to the prince, "Let's go to General Shi's mansion as soon as possible."

"Okay. Let's go."

The two of them moved quickly and got on a carriage to head to General Shi's mansion.

If the prince was alone, he would ride a horse, but now that Bailu has come along, he can only take a carriage to avoid the bumpy ride.

However, the imperial palace is quite close to General Shi’s residence, and it only takes a short time to get there by carriage.

As soon as the prince and Bai Lu got off the carriage, they saw a man waiting outside General Shi’s mansion.

The prince looked up and said in surprise, "Hey, Master Xi is here too?"

The system nodded with a smile, and stepped forward to greet the prince: "Your Highness."

The system in blue clothes has handsome eyebrows and eyes, and is very cute.

The prince couldn't help but look at him twice more, and whispered to Bai Lu: "Why did you call him over?"

Bai Lu also whispered to the prince: "He is familiar with me, I think he should be useful here."

She called the system over, which was of course useful.

The prince nodded.

So, next Bai Lu took the prince and the system and entered General Shi’s mansion.

At present, all the female members and irrelevant personnel in General Shi’s mansion have been dismissed, leaving only the scene.

The prince knew that Pei Huizhou was very cunning, so he specifically ordered his men to preserve the evidence at the scene and be extra cautious.

Although I don't think there is any evidence in this house, it seems that it might be useful to preserve it intact for the time being.

As soon as they entered, Bai Lu instructed the system: "Master Xi, this is your home court. Help me find some clues here."

The system nodded quickly and scanned it. In less than half an hour, he found a lot of evidence.

Afterwards, they went to the East Palace.

The system said, "Look, the footprints here... are Pei Huizhou's footprints. Pei Huizhou first went to Haitang's room, killed Haitang, and then went to your and the prince's room."

"So when he went to Haitang House, he inevitably stepped on the mud in the East Palace Garden. Look, the set of footprints behind him are still covered with mud. He can't argue."

Hearing this, Bai Lu stepped forward to take a look, nodded and said, "I see, we need to protect this place well."

The prince was listening nearby and felt it was a bit magical. He said to Bai Lu, "...Oh my God, you guys discovered this."

“It’s really extraordinary.”

No wonder Bai Lu asked Master Xi to come.

The system then looked around again and said to Bai Lu and the prince, "Also, something is not right in the East Palace. Your Highness, the study in the East Palace has a secret room."

"What? My study has a secret room?"

The prince was stunned. Then, the system brought the prince and Bai Lu to the prince's study and said to the prince, "Could it be that... Your Highness, didn't you notice before? There is a secret room in your study."

Having said that, he took Bai Lu and the prince directly inside.

In just a moment, the system disappeared.

The prince was stunned: "Where did he go?"

The system came around from behind the screen and smiled at the prince: "I'm hiding behind the screen."

The prince was somewhat speechless, curled his lips and said: "Master Xi, didn't you say there was a secret room inside? You lied to me, and now you are just hiding behind the screen."

Hearing this, the system laughed and said, "Isn't this just a little joke?"

"Your Highness, please take a closer look...what is behind this screen?"

The prince looked and saw a piece of floor behind the screen.

This piece of floor is a little loose compared to the floors elsewhere because it is occupied by the pillar under the screen.

But because they had never stepped on it before, the prince didn't know that there was a secret under the screen.

The prince and Bai Lu pried open the floor together and found that there was a small space inside, about two cubic meters, just enough to accommodate one person.

Bai Lu and the prince looked at each other, and the prince seemed to understand all of a sudden: "No wonder Haitang was able to escape from my study before, it turns out that she got into here."

"But it's a little strange..."

The prince looked confused and asked Bai Lu, "Did she manage to get into this small space in a split second?"

"And if the screen is moved, won't they hear anything?"

Bai Lu smiled and shook her head: "Your Highness, Haitang escaped from the house in an instant. I think she might not have sneaked into this small space at that moment, but hid behind the screen."

"After that, the secret guards in the house suspected that someone outside had rescued her, so they went out to take a look."

"When they went out to look, Haitang hid in this small space."

"At this time, everyone thought she was really rescued...so we went outside to search, and when we were all misled, she took advantage of the time when no one was around and quietly ran out again."
