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

The stunning beauty said to the emperor with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, this matter..."

Before Bai Lu could speak, the emperor sighed and said to Bai Lu: "There is indeed something fishy about this matter. We need to let the secret guards investigate it thoroughly!"

He had no choice but to ask my secret guards to investigate.

The prince said hurriedly at this time: "Father, how about letting my secret guards follow along to investigate?"

"Why are you, a little kid, getting involved in this? Anyone who can easily wipe out all traces of this place right under our noses must not be an ordinary person. As the prince, you should stop getting involved and focus on your business."

The emperor glanced at the prince, and then said to him in a serious tone: "Later, you should go to my imperial study and take a good look at the memorials. It is better for me to check these things myself."

"I want to see... who dares to play these conspiracies and tricks under my nose."

As he spoke, the emperor turned his head and glared at Pei Huizhou fiercely, warning him: "Boy, I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter. It may be related to you!"

"But don't let me catch you."

"If I catch you, you're done for! I'll beat you up or not!!"

Pei Huizhou chuckled when he heard this, but his smile was very calm, and he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I can guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with me. I am absolutely innocent."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Bai Lu and the prince, with a provocative look on his face in the shadow that the emperor did not notice.

"... Marquis Anguo and Your Highness the Crown Prince, I wonder if you two have anything else to say."

"Now that you have seen it and His Majesty knows about it, you should have nothing to say, right?"

"I don't know what evidence you can come up with."

Now...I guess only if General Shi comes back to life can he produce evidence.

The prince was so angry that he wanted to point at Pei Huizhou's nose and curse at him.

My heart was filled with disappointment.

It’s been so many years... I didn’t expect that Pei Huizhou would abandon me and betray me.

He thought that he had been very good to Pei Huizhou. Whenever there was anything good or interesting over the years, he would think of Pei Huizhou first. The prince treated Pei Huizhou as his own brother!

As a result, Pei Huizhou actually stabbed him in the back and did such a thing, which made the prince wish he could cut him into pieces.

Seeing that the prince was about to go crazy, Bai Lu immediately pulled the prince's sleeve and said to him calmly: "There is something fishy about this matter. Let's take a long-term view."

"Let's go back first."

The prince nodded, and without even exchanging a few words with the emperor, they hurried back to the East Palace.

The emperor and Pei Huizhou looked at the crown prince and Bai Lu's backs, their faces not looking very good.

The emperor looked somewhat lost, while Pei Huizhou had a cold expression. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment, but it was probably not anything good.

At this time, the emperor murmured: "Her back..."

"It really looks like Bingyu..."

......

Inside the East Palace.

As soon as the prince entered the East Palace, he immediately threw away the set of teacups. He was almost angry to death: "Cousin, what's going on?!"

"I originally thought that I could severely damage Pei Huizhou this time, but in the end... I was tricked by Pei Huizhou!"

Bai Lu fell into deep thought.

She felt that she had neglected some things.

What details have I overlooked?

For a moment, I couldn't grasp it.

Beside him, the prince kept throwing teacups, and the sound of porcelain pieces breaking on the ground was crisp.

"I really can't figure it out... We clearly sent secret guards to wait there in advance, and Chief Steward Zhang also sent secret guards to wait there, just in case someone disrupts the scene!"

"Do you think there are really ghosts in this world?!"

"Who wiped out all traces of the scene?"

"Ghosts?" Bai Lu murmured, and then her eyes lit up. "Didn't we ask Master Xi to come over and take a look before? Why don't we ask Master Xi to go to General Shi's mansion and see what's going on? Isn't that right?"

"Master Xi will definitely be able to detect clues that we cannot."

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing Bai Lu say this, the prince's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to Bai Lu with a smile: "Then let's go and call Master Xi over now."

"But... we have to treat Master Xi to a meal later. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to trouble Master Xi all the time."

"Yes." Bai Lu nodded, and called the system in her mind, asking it to wait for her at the agreed restaurant.

Every time Bai Lu called the system for help, she told it to wait for her in a restaurant.

It doesn't cost anything extra to ask the system to help. You just need to find a skin for the system and buy the skin in the system mall.

Then give the system some money and let it have some fun in the human world.

It only costs 50 taels of silver to order it, so the system is quite cheap.

Bai Lu said calmly to the prince, "I had made an agreement with Master Xi before, asking him to wait for me at a restaurant so I can find him if I need anything."

"Well, I'll send someone to inform him and ask him to go directly to General Shi's mansion. The two of us will go to General Shi's mansion to investigate further."

The prince nodded.

The two of them ate something in the East Palace first, and then changed their clothes.

Now that the weather was hot, the two of them went for a walk and worked up a sweat.

Just as they finished packing and were about to go out, they saw a figure blocking the gate of the East Palace.

When I looked up, it was Pei Huizhou.

Pei Huizhou was dressed in black, and his aura was cold and murderous.

When he raised his head, endless hostility was revealed in his eyes.

Pei Huizhou smiled slightly and said to Bai Lu and the prince, "Lady Bai, Your Highness the Prince."
