Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"W-why are you here?"

Baili Qing looked at the fake "Xiao Nianqing" in disbelief, and then looked at Master Baili.

"It's you...it's you again!"

"Bastard! Confess your guilt now!"

The Grand Tutor pulled "Xiao Nianqing" over and lifted up his sleeves. Although the wound on his body had been bandaged, the blood oozing out still announced the severity of the wound. The Grand Tutor was also very angry. He, who was always prudent, actually said the word "evil seed".

"Look what you've done! You actually did this to a child just to satisfy your needs!"

"Haha~"

Baili Qing couldn't help but burst into laughter when she saw her grandfather shaking with anger. She even raised her sleeves and turned around in a circle out of excitement.

"you--!"

The Grand Tutor didn't expect that she could still laugh at this point.

After Baili Qing finished smiling, she tidied her appearance elegantly and spoke slowly.

"Master, listen to what you said. It's totally disrespectful."

The Grand Tutor was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and Wei Taibao, who was standing beside him, also scolded him.

"Princess Qing, how do you talk to your grandfather?"

"Grandfather? Ha, this word is simply a joke to him! If he knew that he was my grandfather, then why wouldn't he help me and Xiao Zuoqing!

Grandfather, it was you who asked me to marry the Prince of Qing. You said that although he was not favored, he would be a good man!

He was really good at the beginning, and I could live without desires, but he wanted to fight for it, and it was Xiao Zuochen who said he would help him! It was Emperor Mingren who said he would pass the throne to him! It was you, it was you who made me want it! You said it but didn't do it, and now you turn around and accuse me of wanting too much, why don't you look at the good things you have done!"

Baili Qing's words made everyone stunned for a moment. Others might not be clear about what was going on, but Xiao Zuochen still knew the twists and turns, and he also expressed some apologies for this.

"Indeed, Emperor Mingren and I both intended to let my eldest brother succeed to the throne, but we both changed our minds in the end. Emperor Mingren did it for his own selfish reasons, while I found that my eldest brother was not suitable to be an emperor, and he also betrayed me in the middle, so it can be said that I was the first to give up on him."

"Betrayal, what is betrayal? Not saving you is betrayal? Then guess, if you encounter something you can't solve yourself, will Xiao Zuoming protect you?"

After hearing this, Xiao Zuochen pursed his lips and said nothing.

Baili Qing looked around, as if trying to memorize everyone's face.

"You, you, and you! You all claim to be righteous and incorruptible, but who doesn't have some leverage in someone else's hands, who doesn't have some favors to ask of others? Just because you see that the palace has no power, you can give up at will.

Xiao Zuoming is obviously a fool, but he is said to be the legitimate son. The eldest son should have been Xiao Zuoqing! Now that you know that Xiao Zuoming's biological mother is from Miaojiang, you still make him the emperor. You want to talk to me about fairness? But who has ever been fair to us! ? "

"But this is not a reason for you to do evil."

Xiao Zuochen took a step towards her.

"Stop it, take the initiative to confess your guilt, and you can still save your dignity."

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, several guards with swords came in from behind the Grand Tutor and directly escorted Baili Qing away. They could tell at a glance that they were people from the palace.

Baili Qing knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, and she staggered in dejection, her eyes full of reluctance. Finally, she looked at Xiao Nianqing, with some reluctance and self-mockery in her eyes, and was taken away without saying a word.

"Mother..."

Xiao Nianqing stretched out his hand to keep her, but Baili Qing didn't even turn his head, so he could only withdraw his hand silently.

Seven days later, Yun Feng came back from outside.

"There is still no news about Yunqiao and Yunbai, but there is a notice about Princess Qing posted outside."

"Princess Qing murdered her husband, tortured her children, and slandered the prince. She will be executed on a chosen day."

When Xiao Zuochen heard the news, he frowned and felt something was wrong. He then changed into prince's clothes and hurried into the palace.

"Sixth brother, what important things do you have? You even wear the prince's clothes~"

Xiao Zuochen bowed deeply to Xiao Zuoming. Xiao Zuoming just raised his eyebrows slightly, with no obvious change in his facial expression, but he still asked.

"This is?"

Xiao Zuochen stood up and explained with a serious face.

"Your Majesty, I heard today that there was a notice posted on the roadside regarding the punishment of Baili Qing. It said -"

Before Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, the emperor immediately interrupted him.

"Yes, I did a good job, didn't I? I will send someone to the Dali Temple to pass on the order, and the 'date' will be tomorrow!"

Tomorrow!? Xiao Zuochen was shocked. Xiao Zuoming was eager to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!

"But she hasn't confessed yet..."

"Confess? This bitch is so stubborn. It was clearly her who did it, but she deliberately refused to admit it and even provoked the jailer. She should be turned into a human pig and she will behave herself!"

"Brother Emperor!"

Xiao Zuochen was shocked. What Xiao Zuoming said was too harsh. He interrupted him quickly to prevent Xiao Zuoming from thinking further.

"But there is no news about Yunqiao and Yunbai yet. Baili Qing is the only one who knows their whereabouts."

"So what if she knows? She knows a lot, but she's unwilling to say a word. We can't get any useful information from her if we keep her around. It's better to kill her to avoid wasting everyone's time."

"Can..."

“Alright, alright~”

Xiao Zuoming was a little impatient. He stood up and walked off the stage. He came in front of Xiao Zuochen and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"I know you want to say that you and your two guards have such a deep relationship. But think about it, Baili Qing has been captured for so long, they must have died a long time ago, right?"

Xiao Zuochen didn't want to hear such words, so he dodged the hand that Xiao Zuoming extended to him and continued speaking.

"Even if it's a corpse, I still need to find it. Please, Your Majesty, postpone the execution and give me more time to question her!"

Xiao Zuoming felt uncomfortable when he looked at his hand hanging in the air. Xiao Zuochen repeatedly forced him to change his mind. He had already announced it to the world. Could he still slap himself in the face for the sake of two guards? So he asked with doubt.

"Inquire? Baili Qing has been captured for so many days. If you could ask the answer, you would have done it long ago. Why would you miss one or two days?"

Xiao Zuochen pursed his lips, knowing that Xiao Zuoming was resisting this matter in his heart. He had no emotional ties with Yunqiao and Yunbai, so naturally he wouldn't care.

"Royal brother..."

"Alright! I'm tired, King Yun, please step down!"

Xiao Zuoming waved his hand and interrupted him. Seeing this, Eunuch Fu walked quickly to Xiao Zuochen's side.

"Your Highness, Prince Yun, please~"

Eunuch Fu was respectful.

Seeing that Xiao Zuoming had turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, Xiao Zuochen knew that if he continued to talk, it would only make Xiao Zuoming more disgusted. It seemed that he had to find a way out himself. If Xiao Zuoming did not change his mind, he could only send people to rescue the execution ground. With this in mind, Xiao Zuochen bowed and left.

After leaving the South Study and walking a little further away, Xiao Zuochen said to Eunuch Fu who was standing beside him.

"Eunuch Fu, please stay. There's no need to see you off."

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, he was about to turn around when Eunuch Fu hurried forward and spoke.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, I have heard from the streets that the brothel madam has been seducing those pretty girls for a long time, and even paid people to kill their families. She is an evil person with many lives on her hands."

Xiao Zuochen was stunned and replied.

"If we report this kind of thing to the Dali Temple, someone will naturally investigate it."

Xiao Zuochen didn't want to stay any longer and was about to leave again when Eunuch Fu spoke again.

"I went out of the palace to buy things before and saw that old procuress. Her appearance and figure are about 50% similar to Princess Qing."

Xiao Zuochen paused and understood what he meant.

"I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Fu."

Eunuch Fu bowed.

"Then I will not see you off, Your Highness. I still have to serve the Emperor~"
