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

Looking at him, the prince was extremely disgusted. He immediately took two steps back and said to him, "What are you waiting for us to do here? What evil thoughts do you have in mind?"

Pei Huizhou was delighted, and said to Bai Lu and the prince:

"I can't have any bad intentions. I just want to tell you not to waste your efforts."

"No matter how much you investigate, I will be able to escape... The emperor will not punish me."

How arrogant!

The prince was furious. He didn't want to pay any attention to Pei Huizhou, so he just pulled Bai Lu away.

Pei Huizhou looked at Bai Lu and the prince holding hands, and smiled at them both ambiguously, saying, "I didn't expect that you two are so close now."

"I told His Majesty that before, I framed you... I didn't expect you two would actually do it."

"What's the truth?!"

Bai Lu and the prince both felt very disgusted. Of course, there was no relationship between the two of them. They were just cousins! God can be the witness.

When Bai Lu heard this, her mind suddenly changed. She immediately smiled and took Pei Huizhou's hand.

"Since you said so, why don't I get serious with you?"

Pei Huizhou saw Bai Lu holding his hand. The long and slender fingers of the hand shone softly like white jade under the sunlight, which was really beautiful.

Her hands had calluses from years of farm work, but they healed. The calluses were thin, and her palms felt very nice, warm, and dry. It felt very special.

The moment Bai Lu took his hand, Pei Huizhou was in a trance for a moment.

He immediately shook off Bai Lu's hand and took a big step back, as if he had encountered a ghost:

"Are you sick? How dare you touch my hand?!"

The prince and Bai Lu both saw it with their own eyes, and Pei Huizhou's face turned red instantly.

It looked like a hedgehog that exploded all of a sudden...it was so hilarious.

The prince was standing nearby and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But the next second, he whispered to Bai Lu:

"Even if you want to provoke him, you can't be so cruel."

"This means that we will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and ourselves by 800."

Bai Lu saw the prince talking to her quietly with his mouth covered, so she just smiled and said to the prince:

"I am only a widow now, what should I be afraid of?"

"The one who should be afraid now should be Pei Huizhou, after all, he has never been married."

"...Yes, he is not married yet."

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes became quite meaningful.

He glanced at Pei Huizhou again, then began to smile slyly and said something teasing to Pei Huizhou.

"Isn't it just touching your hand? What's wrong with that?"

"Didn't you say before Father that you liked Bai Lu?"

"Now that Bai Lu is touching your hand, aren't you happy?"

"???"

"!!!"

Pei Huizhou's face turned blue and white!

He looked at Bai Lu, his face flushed red, and after a long while he could only utter one word:

"......you!!!"

"You shrew! You have no shame!"

"......Even if I like you, you can't just do that to me casually."

"You know, you are a woman."

Bai Lu nodded and said generously:

"Yes, that's right."

"So what if I'm a woman? Who says a woman can't touch a man's hand? It's not like I slept with you."

Pei Huizhou: "......"

Prince: "..."

Pei Huizhou was like seeing a ghost. He stammered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.

He gritted his teeth, stared at Bai Lu and blurted out:

"Okay! You're so cruel!"

The prince couldn't help but give Bai Lu a thumbs up:

"You are indeed very cruel, cousin Bailu, don't be so serious next time..."

"Okay, Pei Huizhou, hurry up and say what you want to say. What are you doing here?"

The prince put his hands on his hips, frowned, and asked Pei Huizhou with great disgust.

Pei Huizhou put on a strange smile, turned his head to look at Bai Lu, and said to Bai Lu:

"His Majesty is looking for you."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and turned to go to the imperial study.

The prince and Pei Huizhou stayed here.

The prince curled his lips and asked Pei Huizhou:

"What does Father want to do with Cousin Bai Lu?"

"..."

After talking for a while, Pei Huizhou saw Bai Lu walking away, and then he told the prince about the matter:

"Of course I have to help reconcile the relationship between Bai Lu and Bai Yansong."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the prince’s eyes widened instantly and he turned around and ran away.

Pei Huizhou couldn't catch up with him.

The prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He never dreamed that... the emperor would actually think of this and even want to mediate the relationship between Bai Lu and Bai Yansong.

You know... Bai Lu is such a strong-willed person. Once she makes up her mind, even ten oxen can't pull her back.

So she and Bai Yansong have a bad relationship. If they want to mediate, there is only one prerequisite - that is, Bai Yansong repents.

Of course, after Bai Yansong repented, he actually felt that... it was difficult to repair the relationship between father and daughter.

In short, except for Bai Lu herself who thinks that she and Bai Yansong can reconcile, if anyone else persuades Bai Lu and Bai Yansong to reconcile, it would be like touching Bai Lu's reverse scale.

If the emperor really did that, he would really be at odds with Bai Lu. And then...if something happened between the two of them, it would be bad.

But after thinking about it...the emperor naturally felt guilty towards Bai Lu.

After all, he had received Zhao Bingyu's instructions before, but he did not care about Zhao Bingyu's only daughter, so he must want to go along with Bai Lu.

But doing this... would really hurt the relationship between the emperor and Bai Lu.

Although it is not a lose-lose situation, it is definitely not cost-effective. Why do such a stupid thing?

The prince hurried to the imperial study.

At this time, he cursed Pei Huizhou in his heart and was almost angry to death.

This Pei Huizhou, really... could stir things up to such an extent!!!

He knew that if the emperor called Bai Lu over, there would definitely be a quarrel...but now he was deliberately delaying time, waiting for Bai Lu to walk away before telling me about this.

"..."

Inside the imperial study.

As soon as Bai Lu was called over, she saw that there were not only the emperor and butler Zhang in the room, but also someone she really didn't want to see, and that was Bai Yansong.

Why is Bai Yansong here?

The moment Bai Lu saw him, she almost vomited.

Bai Yansong showed a flattering look on his face, and quickly said to Bai Lu:

"Oh, my good girl is here."

"...My daughter."

Having said that, Bai Yansong hurried forward, trying to help Bai Lu to her seat, and personally poured tea for Bai Lu, which looked quite ridiculous.

After all, in this world, only children offer tea to their parents, but no parents offer tea to their children.
