Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Although General Bai looked down on Xiao Zuoming, since he was already the emperor, General Bai would not easily rebel, so he decisively rejected Xiao Zuochen. As for Xiao Zuochen, he just felt a little sorry.

Xiao Zuochen naturally knew that if he wanted General Bai to help, he must have a legitimate reason. If not, he would have to exchange it for something important. Xiao Zuochen did not tell General Bai about Bai Qingning and Xiao Zuoming, but he mentioned another thing.

"General Bai, I remember that your sister went to Miaojiang for medical treatment. After she came back, her personality changed drastically. She even made her own decision to marry Emperor Mingren. She would rather die than not marry him."

General Bai couldn't help but sigh when he heard about the past.

"That is true. But what does it have to do with what the prince said?"

Xiao Zuochen straightened the corner of his clothes, rested his elbows on his legs, leaned forward, and lowered his voice.

"General, have you heard of the Three Magics of Miao?"

General Bai also leaned forward along with Xiao Zuochen.

"I've heard of it a little bit, but I forgot what it was called."

"The three magics of Miaojiang are resurrection magic, reincarnation magic, and soul replacement magic."

"Yes! I heard from my father that my sister was already dying when she arrived in Miaojiang, and it was the Miaojiang Saint who used the resurrection technique to save her!"

"Are you sure?"

General Bai was stunned.

"What are you sure about? My sister is definitely alive?"

General Bai said this with a disdainful smile on his face, as if to say "What's there to question?"

Xiao Zuochen sat back, took a sip of tea and said nothing. Seeing his expression, General Bai realized that something was wrong, and his expression gradually became serious.

"What do you mean?"

"Qingya~"

Xiao Zuochen called Xiao Qingya, and Qingya understood what he meant and took the initiative to explain to General Bai the differences between the three Miao techniques. The more General Bai listened, the wider his eyes widened.

"You mean, my sister's soul was replaced by someone else? The current Bai Qingning is not my sister? My sister is still in Miaojiang?"

General Bai's words shocked not only himself, but also Qingya, who had just finished explaining the three arts of Miaojiang and was feeling proud, was also shocked. She had not expected that there was such a connection between them.

Xiao Zuochen looked at Qingya, then at General Bai, and shook his head.

“First, whether Bai Qingning is the real Bai Qingning or not, General Bai must be able to feel it himself, there is no need for me to say more.

Second, the three Miao techniques seem to be similar, but the results are very different. I don't know whether one person survived, two people survived, or they took turns to survive. I don't know whether your sister is still alive.

Third, the one in Fengqi Palace wanted to escape from the palace with me, and General Bai could only find out your sister’s whereabouts through her.”

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, he continued to drink his tea.

General Bai narrowed his eyes after hearing this.

"Your Highness Prince Yun is trying to trade my sister's whereabouts with me."

"No, I don't know where your sister is. It is you who wants to exchange her with the one in Fengqi Palace."

"Then I'll find a way to take her away. After all, compared to her, Xiao Zuoming should be even less willing to let you go!"

Xiao Zuochen laughed.

"General, you may give it a try."

General Bai was already furious when he learned that his sister was missing today, and Xiao Zuochen's expression of "I don't need to beg you" made him even more angry. He simply threw his sleeves and left angrily with the confused boy outside the yard.

But when he was leaving, he ran into the emperor. General Bai knew that it was Xiao Zuoming who sent someone to follow him, so he didn't treat him well. He snorted coldly and ignored him and walked away.

"Eh? Look at him!"

Xiao Zuoming stared with his eyes wide open, feeling extremely aggrieved. Mu Dai, who was standing beside him, hurriedly comforted him.

"Your Majesty, okay, okay, let's not bother with him. His military exploits are too great for us to touch him. When Your Majesty trains new generals, you won't need him anymore. Then you can just find a reason to collude with the enemy and kill him..."

Mu Dai pointed his finger horizontally across his neck, and Xiao Zuoming understood what he meant.

"Yes, you are right! I have just ascended the throne and there are not many people around me who can be used. Just be patient with him for now!"

"Hey, that's right. Your Majesty, can we still enter this Buddhist temple?"

Xiao Zuoming had not yet reached the temple, but he was just far enough away to see the temple's plaque. The door to the temple was open, and he could vaguely see someone sitting at a table sipping tea.

Xiao Zuoming narrowed his eyes.

"not going."

"Yes~"

In the Buddhist hall, Xiao Zuochen saw a bright yellow light leaving in the distance, raised his teacup and toasted in that direction, then drank it all in one gulp. He then called Qingya to his side and whispered something to her.

......

General Bai couldn't stand it any longer after hearing what Xiao Zuochen said. He left the Buddhist temple, put on his mask and headed straight for Fengqi Palace. The little palace maids he met along the way were frightened by General Bai's aura.

"Bai Qingning!"

General Bai shouted loudly as he entered the courtyard of Fengqi Palace, and the guards and servants in charge of guarding the courtyard were all startled.

Bai Qingning opened the door and saw her brother coming back with murderous anger on his face. She was puzzled. But she knew that outside the courtyard was not a place to discuss things.

"If you have anything to say, come in and say it."

General Bai naturally knew that this matter could not be discussed outside the courtyard. He had not controlled his emotions just now, and he would probably have to explain it to Xiao Zuoming later.

General Bai stepped into the house and asked the young man beside him to guard the door. Anyone who dared to approach would be killed without mercy!

After General Bai entered, he spoke straight to the point. Unexpectedly, Bai Qingning did not deny it, which left General Bai speechless for a moment.

"My real name is Yu."

"You, you admit it now?"

"I want to leave here, so I'm not going to lie to you. Xiao Zuochen is right, I'm the only one who knows the whereabouts of your sister. Whether she's alive or dead, you have to rescue me."

After hearing what she said, General Bai's anger was relieved and he calmed down a bit. There was a clue after all.

"It's easy to take you out. Just tell me directly. I can definitely get you out of the palace even if I have to fight with Xiao Zuoming. As for Prince Yun, he's too big a target. If I take him away, Xiao Zuoming will definitely arrest me for treason."

Yu shook his head after hearing this.

"It's not that I want to go with Xiao Zuochen, but I want to take someone else with me."

General Bai was stunned.

"Who?"

Yu took him into the inner room, and General Bai then discovered that there was a stunning beauty sitting on the bed in the room, looking at him coldly.

"You must have heard of her. She is Concubine Yun."

General Bai instantly understood that the person in front of him was Xiao Zuochen's biological mother, but he heard that there seemed to be some conflicts between them. Moreover, Concubine Yun was the favorite concubine of Emperor Mingren, and now she was under house arrest here. It must be that Emperor Mingren did not want to let her go, but did not want the officials to know about it. This also shows that Xiao Zuoming is really Emperor Mingren now!

"I can't take her away blatantly."

"So, we need Xiao Zuochen's help. He has information, connections, and methods."

"But I can't take the Bai family..."

"Have you asked him about his plan? Xiao Zuochen is not the kind of person who would let his loyal ministers step up for him. I believe he has a more thorough plan, but this plan also requires you, so he pulled you in."

General Bai didn't expect her to say that. After all, she had hoped that Xiao Zuochen would die sooner.

Yu naturally knew what he was thinking.

"Before, I wanted the position of Queen Mother. Now, I just want to leave the palace. Once I am safe outside the palace, you can find out the whereabouts of your sister."

General Bai thought for a few seconds and finally agreed.

"As long as it doesn't involve the Bai family, I can help you!"
