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

About the same age as Bai Yansong?

Bai Qingze fell into deep thought.

Bai Chuyao's eyes trembled slightly.

Others reacted with confusion.

Bai Lu keenly caught the reactions of her two brothers and asked hurriedly, "Big Brother, Third Brother, could it be that you two know something?"

Bai Qingze and Bai Chuyao both smiled and shook their heads, with a hint of bitterness on their faces.

"Nothing, just about the same size as our father..."

"The first person we thought of was Mom."

"Mom and Dad are about the same age..."

Hearing this, Bai Lu felt very uncomfortable and the atmosphere fell into dead silence.

......

Prime Minister Wang was on his way back to Kyoto.

River beach.

This scene seemed inexplicably familiar, but it was not the original river beach. They had arrived at a new river beach.

In the carriage, Pei Huizhou still didn't wake up.

Chief Minister Wang took out a piece of gray cloth. The ancient version of underpants must be washed carefully!

But his eyes were blurry and he felt that it was not washed clean.

He turned his head and couldn't help but said to Feiyu next to him: "Hey... young man, come and help me check whether it is clean?"

Feiyu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say to Prime Minister Wang, "Master Prime Minister, how about I buy you a new one? Even if I clean this one, it still has a big hole in it."

"Alas, young people don't know how to be frugal."

Wang Shoufu curled his lips and replied, "You know... when I was young, there was a severe drought in Zhaozhou! The Jiangnan area was littered with corpses! Forget putting on pants, even feeding yourself was hard!"

"Since then, when I went to the capital to take the imperial examination, I made a great wish: after entering the officialdom, I must make sure that all the people in the world live in peace and happiness! As for everything else, it is just external things. Helping the people fill their stomachs is the most important thing!"

Prime Minister Wang had always lived a poor life, which made Feiyu's eyelids twitch.

He felt that Prime Minister Wang was really able to endure hardships.

How to say it... Even a guard like me would wear one pair of pants and throw them away one by one, but Prime Minister Wang actually washed them himself.

Feiyu closed his eyes and said, "Alas, I haven't washed myself in all these years, but now I have to wash for Prime Minister Wang. Never mind."

"Master Prime Minister, let me help you wash."

He directly snatched the gray cloth from Prime Minister Wang's hand.

Wang Shoufu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Do you think I'm asking you to help wash it? I can wash it myself..."

Just as he was about to pull the cloth back, he heard Feiyu say, "Master Prime Minister, there's no need to be polite with me. Please go and see General Pei."

"Him? What's there to see?"

Wang Shoufu curled his lips, thinking that he was worse than Feiyu with a stubble.

Then Feiyu said doubtfully, "General Pei has been sleeping all the time. He doesn't eat or drink. Is there something wrong?"

"Besides, it's not too bad...when the time comes to send it to Kyoto...don't let it turn into a Pixiu!"

"Hahaha."

Wang Shoufu laughed heartily: "Okay, then I'll take a look."

At this time, neither of them had learned that Pei Huizhou was destined to die.

They knew that Pei Huizhou was of great importance to the emperor, and they must send Pei Huizhou back safely.

He walked towards the carriage with a staggering step, and the other guards in charge turned their heads away.

Then Prime Minister Wang entered the carriage, wiped his hands on Pei Huizhou's clothes twice, and after drying his hands thoroughly, he pinched Pei Huizhou's face hard.

"..."

Pei Huizhou still didn't respond.

"This medicine is really effective. I'll ask Madam Bailu for a few pills later."

Wang Shoufu muttered to himself, "If only I had a few more! They would be useful when His Majesty gets sick!"

Hehe... then I can ask the emperor to issue an imperial decree to let me retire and return home. It makes me happy just thinking about it!

Just when Prime Minister Wang was fantasizing, he suddenly saw Pei Huizhou's eyes seemed to move!

"Fuck!"

Wang Shoufu was shocked and rubbed his eyes. "Am I seeing things?"

His eyesight was blurry due to his old age, and sometimes he might have seen things wrong...especially since he had been worried recently about whether Pei Huizhou could suddenly wake up.

He seemed to ponder for a moment, and decided that he would rather kill the innocent than let the criminal go.

He took out another bottle of medicine from his pocket and fed it directly to Pei Huizhou!

However, Prime Minister Wang did not know that Pei Huizhou was unconscious at this time, but he was not dead, so moving his eyeballs and fingers were all very normal.

So Pei Huizhou took another bottle of medicine...

They were traveling a little slower, but the journey was very safe, and they arrived directly in Kyoto with the sleeping Pei Huizhou.

When Pei Huizhou was carried on a stretcher into the palace, he was still unconscious.

In the imperial study, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at the stretcher on the ground, furious.

"How dare Pei Huizhou refuse to kneel before the emperor!"

Wang Shoufu immediately stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Pei Huizhou is not unwilling to kneel, but he simply cannot kneel. He has been bewitched by Lady Bai!"

After Wang Shoufu told the emperor everything he had seen and heard, the emperor was shocked and said, "So that's how it is!"

"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll throw this beast straight into the Sky Prison!"

"But... before that! I want to see Pei Huizhou stand up and explain to me personally what's going on!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Wang was shocked, but not surprised.

The emperor still wanted to protect Pei Huizhou. He was reluctant to let Pei Huizhou die, otherwise why would he use the word "explanation"?

What this means is... wait for Pei Huizhou to say a few words, and if the emperor believes it, then exonerate him.

The imperial physician was called over immediately. The emperor frowned and said to the imperial physician below.

"Hurry up and wake Pei Huizhou up."

"Our Lord's drug is too potent. I'm afraid it's unlikely he'll wake up immediately!"

The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we need time to study!"

"Love will last as long as you like, just estimate it!"

"He should be able to wake up in half a day, right?"

The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty, half a day is too long. We can wake him up in half an hour!"

Bai Lu wouldn't give anyone any poison, just some drug... just give them some antidote.

The imperial doctors felt the patient's pulse and suddenly fell silent. "Why...why is the pulse so chaotic?!"

They were horrified and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this... General Pei must be rushed to a room in the palace for immediate treatment. If he isn't treated promptly, he might become mentally retarded!"

"This pulse, oh my, it's so chaotic."

They shook their heads and sighed, "If it were an ordinary person, they would have been seriously injured and died long ago, but General Pei happened to be a martial arts expert...so he survived!"

"Even after taking so much medicine, General Pei didn't bleed to death. It's truly a miracle!"

Hearing this, the emperor was shocked!

Prime Minister Wang was also horrified.

The emperor glared at Prime Minister Wang and felt like killing him!

Wang Shoufu shuddered, coughed twice, looked at the imperial physician and said, "Help him!"

He whispered to the emperor, "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty... My eyes were blurry and I couldn't remember anything. I even made a mistake in the dosage of the drug!"

"Don't blame White Lady!"

The emperor could understand that Prime Minister Wang just didn't want Pei Huizhou to wake up in the middle of the journey. If he woke up in the middle of the journey, it would be difficult to do things.

The emperor gritted his teeth and said to Prime Minister Wang, "I understand everything. I'm not forbidding you to use it, but how can you use so much?!"

If he really died, he would be so regretful.

Pei Huizhou can die at his own hands, but he must never die at the hands of others.

Prime Minister Wang understood this kind of thing.

Prime Minister Wang felt a chill in his heart, and he said to the emperor, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! If General Pei is truly dying... just summon Lady Bai Lu back and ask her to help treat him."

"..."

The emperor fell into silence. If he asked Bai Lu to save him, Bai Lu would be so angry that she would die.

What if she becomes like Bai Yansong and ignores me again? What should I do then?

The emperor favored both Pei Huizhou and Bai Lu.

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Wang thought to himself that only Bailu could be used to treat the emperor.

Half an hour later, the people from the Imperial Hospital had already invited the director.

The director gave Pei Huizhou acupuncture for a long time, turning him into a hedgehog. He shook his head and said to the emperor.

"I'm afraid not. We'll have to try again."

After a day and a night, Pei Huizhou was finally woken up.

But he was drooling and couldn't speak clearly.

The emperor looked at it and his face turned green!

He couldn't help but pace around the imperial study, cursing, "Pei Huizhou! You bastard! How do you explain the innocent slaughter of the people of Pingzhou? You turned around and killed the Turkic Khan's brother. You appear before millions of people like a savior!"

"Why is this such a coincidence! Haha... Why did you abandon the city? Tell me! Aren't you abandoning the people of this world?!"

"Is fame, wealth, and honor so good to you? Is that what I taught you before?"

"How could you waste my thoughts?"

"I feel ashamed towards the people of the world!"

His eyes were moist.

Hearing this, Pei Huizhou's eyes flashed, and his head, which had been as confused as a paste, suddenly became much clearer, and he felt a pain as if it were being pricked by needles.

Pei Huizhou said coldly, "Your Majesty, you have already done your duty to the people of the world by arresting me now."

The emperor was stunned.

Then Pei Huizhou added, "But it's me you feel guilty towards."

The emperor was extremely angry!

He was about to explode, but when he saw Pei Huizhou drooling, he stopped immediately. Alas, the scene was just too beautiful to look at.

Wang Shoufu, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say, "What's the point of being ashamed of you? When has His Majesty ever been ashamed of you? Has His Majesty given you less food and clothing? He has always treated you as his closest minister, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you like a brother!"

"They are the emperors! Showing this to their subjects is already a great act of mercy. What else do you want? Do you still want to be the crown prince? Do you still want to be the emperor and take their place?!"

"You abuse your power and seek glory like this. Even His Majesty wouldn't dare to do this... What's the point of all this fame and honor?!"

Prime Minister Wang's words immediately alerted the emperor.

Yes, what’s the use of these fame and honor?

Even if he was sorry for Pei Huizhou, Pei Huizhou was ultimately sorry for the people of the world.

Wang Shoufu, watching the emperor's expression from the side, added cryptically, "Besides, how can White Snake be so loyal to the emperor and patriotic?"

"Over the years... I've never enjoyed any of the benefits from the palace or the Bai family! Neither the Dawu royal family nor the Bai family has let Lady Bai down!"

"But I, White Snake, have never said anything of the sort... I've never used my own pity as an excuse! I don't care about that!"

"Hey...how can the gap between people be so huge?"

The emperor was suddenly startled.

Yes, what Prime Minister Wang said makes a lot of sense.

He has already made up a lot to Pei Huizhou, thousands of times more than Bai Lu!

Bai Lu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, so why can't Pei Huizhou be the same? Is it just because of his special status?

Bai Lu’s identity is also special.

In fact, it is just the difference between people.

But he thought... Pei Huizhou's fate was too rough, which made him feel resentful.

Pei Huizhou said calmly, "Since Your Majesty and Prime Minister Wang have so much to say to me, I don't have anything else to say!"

"I only want to say one thing: I did not harm the people of Pingzhou!"

"I really ambushed them to kill the Turks!"

He looked up at the Emperor and Prime Minister Wang, sneered, and said, "Do you have any evidence? If you do, you can accuse me of taking human life lightly!"

"If you don't have evidence, you absolutely cannot arrest me, let alone throw me into jail!"

"...I am a meritorious officer in the army. If Your Majesty did this, how could people outside not say that Your Majesty was afraid that his achievements would overshadow his own, so he deliberately killed a meritorious officer?"

"How should the world view you?"

"The common people don't know these twists and turns; only the ministers in the court know! But it is the people of the world who truly carry your Majesty's ship!"

"The approval of the ministers in the court can only be regarded as helping you row the oars! No matter how good the oars are, they will ultimately fail in the face of strong winds and waves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor became furious. He covered his chest and almost vomited blood.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"I have not threatened Your Majesty. How dare I?"

Pei Huizhou smiled coldly, his face pale but drooling again, "Your Majesty, I will always be loyal to you. It is you who are unwilling to give power to me. I am heartbroken!"

"I just don't understand. How can I be inferior to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Yet you trust His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much but not me?"

He pointed at his chest, his blood boiling with anger.

The emperor was so angry that he was about to bleed.

Wang Shoufu felt helpless. Seeing the two of them confronting each other, he stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Enough, Your Majesty, if you continue talking, you'll just bring up old and futile things. What's the point of saying too much? It will only lead to arguments!"
