Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Xiao Zuochen said that it was Yu who put a Gu to control Gu Yingning, so she would assassinate the emperor. At present, it seems that this is the only possibility. After being injured, Concubine Yun lost all her martial arts and had no internal force to drive the Gu worm. Although Yu did not know martial arts, she still knew how to use internal force to put a Gu.

General Bai also felt that, given Yu's personality, it was indeed something she did. But...

"What should we do now? You pretend to be a bride and marry into the Bai Mansion. Let's see what you can do when you pay respects every day!?"

General Bai simply took off his shoes and lay down on the bed, not caring whether Xiao Zuochen lived or died.

Xiao Zuochen shrugged indifferently.

"Who said I'm going to pay my respects tomorrow? How can I stay in Bai Mansion and pretend to be your wife? And judging by the time, the real Zhu Lian'er is about to wake up."

"Hmm? Where did you switch it?"

"Royal Palace."

"and you..."

General Bai seemed to want to ask something else, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and he had fallen asleep.

Xiao Zuochen glanced at the incense in the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and toasted in the direction of General Bai.

"I'm sorry, General Bai, this is the only way to save your Bai Mansion."

Xiao Zuochen finished the cup, closed the door, and left with his Qinggong skills. Xiao Zuochen didn't know what was happening to Qingya and the others, but he could go out of the city first to see if there was any mark left by Yunfeng.

~~~

The next morning, before the morning court session, the palace was in an uproar. The reason was simple: the one in Fengqi Palace had run away, and the one in the Buddhist Hall had also run away.

The maids of Fengqi Palace were supposed to deliver food the day before, but Yan Luo managed to fool them by imitating Yu's voice and saying that she was not feeling well and did not want to eat. Xiao Zuoming had lost his memory during the day and had a headache due to excessive worry, so he went to bed early. Who would have thought that he would hear this shocking news when he woke up the next day.

"When did you run away?!"

Xiao Zuoming was going crazy. What did it mean for Xiao Zuochen to escape from the palace? It meant that he was going to rebel! Xiao Zuoming was so angry. He had good intentions to spare this man's life and even let his guards go. It seemed like he was letting a tiger go back to the mountains!

"Your Majesty, the maid who delivered food to Fengqi Palace and the Buddhist Hall this morning said that she found that there was no one at both places this morning!"

"..."

Xiao Zuoming was feeling furious when he heard the eunuch's shouting from outside.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty~something bad~"

The young eunuch rushed into the emperor's bedroom, saw that the emperor's face had turned black, and fell to his knees on the ground with a plop. He was so fast that he even slid on the ground for a while.

Xiao Zuoming said through gritted teeth.

"The news you report better not be too outrageous!"

The young eunuch was so frightened by the emperor that he swallowed his saliva.

"Over at Chuxiu Palace, the bride from yesterday is there..."

"What? What bride?"

Xiao Zuoming was stunned.

"The Chuxiu Palace reported that four women claimed to be yesterday's brides, who were knocked unconscious in the house and did not leave the palace~"

Xiao Zuoming finally understood, and so did everyone else around him. Four brides, swapped!

"Report!~"

I don't know which guard was shouting outside in a long voice.

At this time, Xiao Zuoming felt that there was no worse news.

"Let him come in and talk!"

The guard came in and saluted.

"Your Majesty, General Bai sent someone to tell you that the general's wife... ran away!"

"What!? Ran away?"

Xiao Zuoming was stunned for a moment, and Mu Dai beside him reminded him in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, maybe he chose the bride who was replaced, so he ran away~"

"General Bai is a skilled warrior, how could he let someone escape? Besides, didn't you notice him last night if he escaped?"

Xiao Zuoming's question left the guard speechless. He was just delivering the message.

"Someone, hurry to Bai's mansion and ask General Bai to enter the palace! Send someone to pass the order to seal the city gates and impose martial law throughout the city! Send two elite teams out of the city from different routes to hunt them down, and send another team of imperial guards to search the entire city. Issue a wanted order to the lords of the surrounding cities. These four people must be found alive or dead!"

"Yes!"

The guards retreated, and the other servants in the room who had come to report also retreated at Mu Dai's signal.

"Emperor~"

Mu Dai called out softly, but it sounded a bit chilling. Of course, Xiao Zuoming didn't buy it.

"Don't say those words to comfort me."

Xiao Zuoming's words made Mu Dai swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"I have now personally experienced something!"

"What is it, Your Majesty~"

"Since I've used this body, I've found myself thinking more and more like the third brother."

"Uh...how does he look like the Third Prince?"

"How is he like him? Of course he has become stupider!"

Xiao Zuoming was so angry that he picked up the wolf hair brush next to him and threw it on the ground to vent his anger. Mu Dai hurriedly stopped him.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't hurt yourself~"

Mu took the emperor's breath and comforted him.

"You can also think of some good things, such as the fact that the Third Prince is still very young~"

"Young? He's only young now! Humph~"

The emperor leaned back on the dragon throne and looked up at the top of the hall.

"If I had used Lao Liu's body, all the problems would have been solved!"

......

Half an hour later, General Bai was helped into the palace. Why was he helped in? Because the effect of the medicine had not worn off. Xiao Zuochen had lit a whole stick of incense to help with sleep last night, and added a small amount of muscle softening powder, because he knew that Emperor Mingren would not believe General Bai's explanation.

"I heard that General Bai's new wife ran away?"

Xiao Zuoming rested his head on one hand and tapped the table with the fingers of the other hand, looking relaxed. Upon hearing this, General Bai also pretended to kneel down, but he almost fell because of his weak body. The servant beside him hurriedly supported him. The emperor also raised his hand in the air.

"With your body, you don't need to kneel~"

He didn't have to kneel anymore, but the show had to go on, otherwise it would be unfair to Xiao Zuochen for being so "cruel".

"Your Majesty, please help me! The wives I chose yesterday, one was executed and the other ran away. I am destined to live out my life alone! Please help me~"

General Bai said this and pretended to burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, okay. Let's ask the imperial physician to check General Bai's pulse first, to make sure he doesn't get any underlying illness."

The Emperor took General Bai's pulse under the pretext of doing so, but in reality he just wanted the imperial physician to confirm whether he had been drugged or not.

After the imperial physician finished taking the patient's pulse, Xiao Zuoming asked hurriedly.

"How is General Bai?"

"Your Majesty, General Bai does have traces of the muscle softening powder and sleeping incense in his body. It's just that the dosage is a bit too large, so he just needs to rest for a day or two."

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Xiao Zuoming originally suspected that General Bai had deliberately let Xiao Zuochen go, but now it seems that he is indeed a victim, so it seems that he has to comfort him.

"Your bride yesterday must have been a fake. The real bride was also knocked unconscious in the palace. Someone, bring those brides up here!"
