Quick Wear: I raised this little wolf cub

The emperor's personal eunuch quickly took him to the imperial study.

Bai Yue knelt down and saluted: "I, a commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty, and to the Regent."

Li Xing: "No need to be polite, just raise your head."

Bai Yue raised her head. Li Xing thought that she was pretty, but not to the point of being stunningly beautiful. How could she have made the Regent so infatuated with her?

Li Xing: "It is your blessing that the Regent King takes a liking to you. From now on, there will be no more Bai Yue, the Fairy Girl, but only Bai Yue, the Commoner Girl. Do you understand?"

Bai Yue: "I understand."

Li Xing was relieved and asked the Regent to take the person back. "If the Regent wants to get married, please ask me to be the master of ceremonies. I am your matchmaker."

Yun Shen: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace. I will invite Your Majesty to be the guest of honor at the wedding."

Li Xing waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

The Regent brought Bai Yue back to the palace and arranged a place for her to live. Yun Shen called her to the study.

Yun Shen: "This engagement is an excuse to take you out of the palace. When the incident is settled in the future, we can announce to the public that you died of illness. You can rest assured that we will only be husband and wife in name only, not in reality."

Bai Yue: "The Regent is so kind and generous. I will never forget it. I am willing to stay by his side and serve him like a slave for the rest of my life."

Yun Shen: "You don't have to do that. Your brother...he died for his country. It's my duty to treat his family well."

Bai Yue: "Your Majesty, I am alone and will inevitably be bullied outside. Please take me in. I am willing to stay in the Regent's Palace."

Yun Shen: "In that case, you can stay. If you want to leave in the future, you can leave at any time. This king will not make it difficult for you."

Bai Yue: "Thank you, Lord Regent. I will leave now."

Bai Yue walked out of the study and looked back at the tightly closed study door. What the national teacher said was indeed right. As long as she had this face, the regent of Dali would be in her hands.

Soon the day of the emperor's wedding arrived. On the wedding day, the weather was sunny and windy, but when the emperor and empress were offering sacrifices to heaven, the sky was covered with dark clouds. This was not a good sign.

Yun Shen appeared in time and guided the audience that this was a blessing from heaven and a good omen.

Li Xing looked at the Regent and felt at ease. As long as the Regent was there, he felt at ease.

After the wedding of the Emperor and Empress, the Prince Regent also had to prepare for his marriage. It was known to everyone in the court and the public that the Prince Regent had set his sights on a commoner woman and wanted to marry her as his princess. On the wedding day, in order to show the Emperor's favor, the Prince Regent allowed the princess to marry out of the palace and enjoy the treatment of a princess.

Everyone said that the emperor's grace was so great because he also relied on the regent. As long as the regent was there, Dali would be safe. There was even a saying among the people that the regent was the patron saint of Dali. When this word reached the palace, it was already presented in a memorial to Li Xing.

Now that the country is at peace and the country is prosperous, some ministers are worried whether the regent will continue to support the emperor and whether he will have any ill intentions. Now the regent's prestige among the people even exceeds that of the emperor, and the people's hearts are unstable.

When Li Xing saw the memorial, he felt that the minister was worrying too much. Yun Shen has always been sensible. Although he is called the Regent, he has never interfered in government affairs. Apart from expressing his opinions on national affairs, he usually stays at home unemployed. After the military token was handed over to him, Yun Shen had already returned it secretly. The one left in the Regent's Mansion now is a fake one. Only the two of them know this. Therefore, Li Xing trusts Yun Shen in a great way.

He never thought that the Regent would betray him and Dali, but he never expected that this trust would become the disaster of Dali's demise in the future.

On the day of the Regent's wedding, the Emperor personally presided over the ceremony to demonstrate his great favor and to let those ministers who were trying to alienate them see. Sure enough, after the wedding, the number of memorials impeaching the Regent decreased significantly.

Yun Shen also knew that someone was impeaching him, so in order to avoid suspicion, he took several days off from attending court after his wedding.

Bai Yue watched Yun Shen reading books all day in the mansion and felt that this could not go on any longer. She did not expect that Yun Shen really had no ambition at all. Last time, he had finally managed to spread rumors about his wedding. Rumors are terrible. Even if Li Xing could not be suspicious, he would at least suspect Yun Shen. She did not expect that the trust between them was so strong.

They had to think of another way. The Regent stayed indoors for half a month, and rumors started to spread again. It was said that the Regent stayed at home after his wedding not because he wanted to stay at home with his wife, but because he was sidelined by the Emperor. Even the Regent’s Consort was not someone the Regent wanted to marry himself, but was an undercover agent sent by the Emperor to be by the Regent’s side, and it turned out that the Regent’s Consort was the Emperor’s woman.

The reason why the emperor was so wary of the regent was because the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was an ominous sign from heaven, indicating that the throne was not in line with heaven's will, and the regent was the one chosen by heaven.

Rumors spread everywhere, and Yun Shen could no longer stay indoors, so he had to start attending court. However, rumors were easy to start and difficult to quell.

After the court session, the emperor called the regent to the imperial study.

Li Xing: "How did this matter get to the people?"

Yun Shen apologized: "It is my fault. I was not careful enough that day. I caused trouble for the emperor."

Li Xing rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't know why, but everything has gone wrong since the talent show."

Yun Shen was also somewhat puzzled. The spread of rumors seemed strange. "Perhaps someone with ill intentions spread the rumors. I will investigate thoroughly."

Li Xing: "I will also send people to investigate, and hope to catch this traitor as soon as possible."

After returning to the Regent's Palace, Yun Shen went back to the study. Bai Yue looked at Yun Shen's serious expression and entered the study with a cup of tea.

Bai Yue: "Your Majesty is tired, would you like a cup of tea?"

Yun Shen was indeed tired. After taking the tea and drinking two sips, he felt more and more sleepy, and finally he could not hold on any longer and passed out.

Bai Yue looked at the unconscious Yun Shen, took out a dagger, and stabbed it into Yun Shen's heart without hesitation, and then used a special knife to peel off Yun Shen's face bit by bit.

How can there be two identical faces in this world? Because they are the faces of dead people.

He peeled off Yun Shen's facial skin perfectly and put it into a specially made wooden box to keep it cool.

Then, he moved the lifeless Yun Shen to the dark room in the study, and went out to tell Yun Shen's deputy general Lin Yun that the prince had something to do and had left the palace through the secret passage, and asked him to prepare a carriage for her and that the prince was waiting for her.

Only Yun Shen and Bai Yue knew about their fake marriage. Everyone in the Regent's Palace regarded Bai Yue as the real mistress, so naturally no one doubted her.

Bai Yue, holding the stolen military token in his hand, sat on the carriage leaving the city, smiling triumphantly. The national master was indeed a man of great foresight. He had long seen that when Chen and Li were at war, Yun Shen always protected military strategist Bai Hao intentionally or unintentionally, and that there was something wrong with the way he looked at the military. He realized that perhaps Yun Shen had feelings for Bai Hao, and ordered them to attack with all their might and make sure to capture Bai Hao, no matter if he was dead or alive.

How could they have imagined that Bai Hao would be so useful? He just used his face to find such a big flaw in the hands of this deep-minded regent. The two years of arrangements by the national teacher were worth it. The Li Kingdom would eventually be defeated by their Chen Kingdom.

Royal Palace

Li Xing looked at the news handed to him by the spy. It turned out that the source of the rumor was the Regent's Palace. Li Xing asked people not to spread the rumor. He had to ask the Regent. He didn't believe it. If the Regent wanted the throne, he wouldn't have to help him take the throne from the beginning. The entire Li Kingdom was in the hands of the Regent back then, and there was no need for the Regent to do this.

Li Xing came to the Regent's Palace, but was told that the prince and princess had left the city and their whereabouts were unknown. Li Xing couldn't believe it, so he broke into the study and found the location where the Regent had told him the fake military talisman was stored. But now, it was empty.

Li Xing finally had to believe that the Regent had really betrayed him.
