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

This left all the imperial doctors, as well as Hongying and other serving palace maids and eunuchs, stunned! !

"Empress, please eat slowly." Hongying hurriedly wiped the Queen's mouth with the handkerchief in her hand and said to her.

"Your Majesty, you just woke up. Your Qi and blood are low and your stomach is weak. If you eat like this, I'm afraid your stomach won't be able to handle it..."

The Queen waved her hand, and with a rather ravenous look on her face, she said to them, "I've finally worked up an appetite, so I should eat something."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Bai Lu and gave her a gentle smile: "Thank you, Bai Lu."

"If it weren't for you, I would have died immediately." There was a hint of loneliness and guilt in her eyes.

Bai Lu shook her head and asked her to eat first. She turned around and went to see the emperor. They were talking.

When Bai Lu looked up, she saw Pei Huizhou.

He looked a little miserable, with ropes tied around his body, sitting idly on a chair outside.

He turned his head and suddenly met Bai Lu's gaze!

He forced a smile at Bai Lu, but there was a hint of gloom in his smile.

Seeing him, Bai Lu frowned subconsciously.

Pei Huizhou said with a smile: "Lady Bai, why do you look so unhappy? Are you tired?"

Listening to what Pei Huizhou said, the retired emperor and the emperor both turned their heads to look at Bai Lu.

The emperor waved his hand and immediately asked Bai Lu to sit down.

The emperor shouted, "Come here, quickly bring two plates of fresh snacks, and ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few dishes. Send them to the Queen's Palace immediately so that Bai Lu can have some food first."

"Yes, yes, the child just came back from outside. He stayed up all night and came directly to the Queen's palace to diagnose the Queen. He might be tired." The emperor felt a little guilty that he even forgot this. He had to give Bai Lu a welcome dinner.

"Now that the queen is awake, why don't you go back and rest and get some sleep?" The prince nodded and spoke to Bai Lu in a gentle voice.

"Why don't you go back and rest?"

After they finished speaking, Pei Huizhou said slowly, "Lady Bai may be showing off. No need to ask her, just carry her out."

"Shut up, you have no right to speak here!" The emperor glared at Pei Huizhou fiercely.

At this time, the emperor suddenly remembered to ask him something.

He turned his head to look at the prince, then looked at Bai Lu.

Bai Lu and the prince looked at each other. Seeing Pei Huizhou tied up here, they knew that the emperor and the retired emperor did not believe Pei Huizhou's words.

Bai Lu had no choice but to tell them about the good things Pei Huizhou had done at the border. Facing the retired emperor and the emperor, Bai Lu said with a rather helpless look, "Pei Huizhou did make some military achievements at the border."

At least on the surface, no one could find any fault with him, so he certainly played a role in turning the tide.

Hearing this, the emperor was stunned and his face looked strange.

Then he was delighted, pretending to be unhappy and said, "In that case, let someone untie him."

The emperor gave the order, and the emperor had no reason to refute.

The retired emperor's face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He had wanted to say a few words, but now he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be of no use. It would not change the fact that Pei Huizhou was considered to have military merits. So let it be.

As for the Queen, once she recovers from her illness, she will stand up and fight Pei Huizhou.

The Queen looked down upon Pei Huizhou the most.

When Bai Lu and the Crown Prince saw that Pei Huizhou's ropes had loosened, they said to the Retired Emperor and the Emperor, "Shall we go eat something and then go back to rest?"

"Go." The retired emperor and the emperor both nodded to Bai Lu and the prince with a smile, asking them to go quickly.

As for Pei Huizhou...the two of them simply let him go back and rest.

The Queen would definitely be unhappy with him standing here.

Inside the room, the retired emperor asked the emperor, "It will take some time to find the person who poisoned her. If you have time, go in and see the queen first."

The emperor hesitated for a while and finally did not go in to see the queen.

He shook his head and said, "Let's not go for now."

The queen had questioned him hysterically in front of him before. Whenever he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.

Now that the queen is awake, he is happy, but he doesn't want to have too much contact with her.

The retired emperor sighed, knowing that there was a rift in the relationship between the emperor and the empress.

Let them do whatever they want, but now we have to find out who the real person who poisoned them is...

The prince and Bai Lu left, but Pei Huizhou did not leave.

As the retired emperor and the emperor were talking, they saw Pei Huizhou sitting there motionless. They felt strange and asked him, "Why don't you leave?"

Pei Huizhou smiled and said, "I am staying here because I have something to ask the Emperor and His Majesty."

"whats the matter?"

"I would like to ask... When will the engagement between me and Lady Bai Lu be fulfilled?"

"We said before that we would get married before I was executed in the autumn. But now I've long passed the execution date, and my name has been cleared... So when will we get married?"

"How about your majesty and the emperor set a date, and then issue an imperial decree, and we can get married according to our ancestral rituals. This way, we can silence the gossips of the world."

“????”

The expressions of the retired emperor and the emperor froze.

The retired emperor's face instantly turned the color of liver, and he muttered to the emperor: "Look at what you have done!!"

Pei Huizhou is forcing marriage in front of everyone.

In front of so many palace maids and eunuchs...how could the emperor and the retired emperor break off their engagement?!

Where to place Bailu?

Will the prince try to steal my wife away from me then?

How do you say this?

As a result, the prince will not be able to marry Bai Lu.

The emperor was embarrassed and furious. He glared at Pei Huizhou and said, "You just came back from the battlefield, and you're already thinking about whether or not we can get married. How can you be so lustful?!"

"You weren't such a lustful person before."

Hearing this, Pei Huizhou smiled and said to the emperor word by word, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. I have never been a lustful person. It's just that I have not been married for more than 20 years and have not been close to women. I am afraid that others will think I am gay."

"Now that I've experienced life and death on the battlefield, I understand the meaning of this lineage...why not get married quickly and let White Lady continue my lineage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, both the retired emperor and the emperor were speechless.

The retired emperor rolled his eyes and was almost angry to death. He never dreamed that the emperor would bring him such a rebellious grandson.

If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled this bastard to death!

He actually competed with his own grandson for his grandson's wife! !

He rolled his eyes fiercely at the emperor and said unhappily, "Let the emperor take care of this matter. I am old now and don't want to deal with these unnecessary things."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Pei Huizhou turned his head to look at the emperor.

The emperor coughed dryly twice and said to him impatiently, "According to my order, let you rest for a while before we talk. I haven't asked Bai Lu yet when she is willing to get married. You should go back and wait for news."

"Then I will go back and wait for news." Pei Huizhou bowed respectfully and returned to his residence.

Seeing his heroic figure from behind, both the retired emperor and the emperor felt a little depressed.

The retired emperor turned around and couldn't help asking the emperor, coldly saying, "Now...what are you going to do?"

The emperor coughed twice and smiled. He couldn't arrange anything at all.

The emperor thought to himself how embarrassing it was, and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Anyway, the queen is seriously ill now. At worst, we can use this matter as an excuse to postpone the marriage until we can come up with a solution.

The emperor rolled his eyes at him.

Bai Lu went to sleep in the west wing of the Queen's Palace, while the Crown Prince went to sleep in the east wing of the Palace.

The East Side Hall is better. After all, the ancients respected the east and the purple air came from the east, so the decoration of the East Side Hall is much better than that of the West Side Hall.

The prince gently took Bai Lu's hand and said to her, "You should go sleep in the East Side Hall. I changed the mattress when I was a student here when I was young. It's very soft now."

It's just a bed, no need to refuse.

Bai Lu simply went to the east side hall to sleep.

Hongying took Bailu to bed. Looking at the prince's back, her eyes flashed. She always felt that the prince had a special attitude towards Bai Niangzi.

A bold idea emerged in her mind: Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes White Snake?

Of course it shouldn't be like that. After all, how could a wise and brave man like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like a second-married woman?

Is it really as the Queen said...

If the prince likes White Snake, many things will be easy to handle...

Bai Lu, the prince and Pei Huizhou slept soundly and did not wake up until the next day.

Bai Lu just felt a slight pain in her head.

Her sleep has been very poor recently. She either stays awake for several nights at a time, or sleeps for several days at a time.

This kind of schedule is really reversed, causing her period to be late, and it only came today.

Bai Lu suffered from unbearable abdominal pain due to the lack of menstruation for two consecutive months.

She is also much thinner than before.

"Someone come here!" Bai Lu called the palace maid outside, and a maid named Liuzhu hurried in to serve.

Then Bai Lu gently asked her, "Can you prepare two new dresses for me?"

Seeing the red blush on the quilt, Liuzhu knew what was going on. She quickly knelt on the ground and said to Bailu, "Yes, Lord."

Liuzhu changed Bailu into a beautiful long dress.

Now that the season is over, you need to wear thicker clothes.

Bai Lu had been in military uniform on the battlefield, wearing heavy armor, but after changing into a thick and formal palace dress, she felt much lighter.

The ground was covered with red robes, which made the skin look whiter and the people more beautiful than flowers.

The sleeves have neat patterns around the edges and are trimmed with gold thread, which is extremely exquisite.

Her hair was simply tied into a bun.

"Liuzhu, your skills are very good. You managed to make a flying bun so quickly?!" It only took half a moment, and it looked complicated.

"That's right! The skills of the people in the palace have been carefully practiced. If they are slower in tying the flying fairy bun, they will probably be beheaded." Liuzhu smiled.

Bai Lu asked in a somewhat curious tone, "When I was conferred the title of Marquis, the clothing and headdresses were extremely grand, and it probably took a long time."

"How can they be the same? It's normal to spend more time on such a day." Liuzhu laughed and said, "Palace banquets are important events and we can't be careless at all!"

"There are everyday ways to comb your hair, and there are orthodox ways to comb your hair for important palace banquets." After hearing this, Bai Lu roughly understood.

She simply combed her hair and put a few light hairpins on it, which made her look dignified and noble, as well as young and elegant.

Now it's done.

In fact, Bai Lu didn’t want to wear anything heavy. She would feel a headache if she did.

My head already hurts, if I wear something heavy, won’t it hurt even more?

She pushed open the door and saw two men standing in front of her.

The two people were facing each other, with swords drawn!

One was wearing a moon-white robe with light bamboo patterns, and the other was wearing a dark golden robe. Both of them were dressed in a luxurious demeanor that was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was obvious that they were noble people raised in a royal family.

It was Pei Huizhou and the prince.

"What's going on? You scared me." Bai Lu turned to look at Liu Zhu, who was also startled. She quickly waved her hands, looking confused and terrified. "This... I don't know either."

Bailu frowned, patted her hands, and asked Liuzhu to go down first so that others would not be affected.

Seeing her walk away, Bai Lu stepped forward and frowned at Pei Huizhou and the prince, saying, "What are you two arguing about in front of my door so early in the morning?"

Then the Crown Prince and Pei Huizhou turned their heads and asked Bai Lu at the same time: "Who are you going to marry?"

"???"

"!!!"

Bai Lu looked at the two of them in confusion, frowning. She took a step back and said to them, "What are you talking about? What's this about getting married or not?"

Then the prince said to Bai Lu in a loud voice like a firecracker: "Pei Huizhou wants to marry you!"

"But my father and grandfather both said they wanted to marry you to me!"

"The imperial decree that ordered you to marry Pei Huizhou was merely a temporary measure. How can it be counted?"

"If you marry him, he and you... are sworn enemies known to everyone! You won't be happy!"

Pei Huizhou stepped forward, his gloomy eyes filled with disdain: "What will Bai Lu gain by marrying you, the crown prince?"

"Can you get all the concubines in your three palaces and six courtyards to come and pay their respects to Bai Lu every day, saying that the Queen is blessed with good fortune today and tomorrow?"

"You can only be with her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, as well as some major festivals, and have a bunch of illegitimate children call her mother?"

"You are not doing her any good, you are harming her!"

The prince's expression changed, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He had no way to refute it.

For a long time, the prince who was known for his gentleness, coolness and brightness had been so self-deprecating and silent.

This gave Bai Lu a headache. She rubbed her head and frowned at the two of them.

"What the hell are you talking about? When did I ever say I was getting married?!"

Are they a little crazy? They are actually arguing here...
