After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"Then we will return to the palace to report."

After Manager Chen took his men away, Xu Lingyun immediately sent people to the outskirts of Beijing to investigate the matter of the refugees.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, everyone gathered around Lu's bed.

Doctor Pang was called away by the prince, so they had no choice but to go to Jishidiang and ask Doctor Li to come and see the patient.

"Doctor Li, is it serious?"

Doctor Li had a faint smile on his lips, "Your daughter is blessed with a good life. Apart from her wrist, there is nothing wrong with her."

"That's good, that's good!"

The old lady and everyone else in the room breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxed, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"This medicine is taken once a day, boil three bowls of water into one bowl."

After Doctor Li wrote out a prescription and gave some instructions on some details, the old lady asked Jiang Momo to pay the medical fee and send him out of the house.

Bai Youyou finally calmed down. She was a little confused. "Grandma, some of the refugees today are very agile. They don't look like refugees."

The old lady nodded.

She also saw that those who surrounded them were real refugees, with no flesh on their cheeks. Although they were numerous, they were powerless.

Those who were chasing the Queen Mother were different. Each of them was agile and some of them were martial artists.

The Queen Mother has lived in the harem for many years. Who would target a person in her seventies?

Bai Youyou felt that there were many strange things going on. She called Lu San over and said, "Go find out about the Queen Mother."

Lu San was ordered to go out of the house to investigate the news, and Mrs. Lu on the bed finally woke up slowly.

"Miss, you're awake!"

Yang Momo took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the stains off her face. She saw her eyelashes tremble a few times, and her eyes that seemed to be filled with stars opened, and she exclaimed with joy.

"mother!"

Bai Luochuan had been standing by the bed, trying hard to hold back his tears. When he saw Lu waking up, he burst into tears of joy.

When he passed the imperial examination, the Yongning Marquis's Mansion only had people with gifts from the eldest wife who came to ask him for help, but his own father didn't even send anyone to inquire about it.

These days he has finally seen things clearly. Only his mother and sister treat him sincerely. His biological father, Bai Yanlang, is just as his name suggests, an ungrateful person.

"Jianan!"

"mother!"

The old lady, Sun, and Bai Youyou looked at Lu, and they all showed surprise.

The old lady sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the corner of the quilt for her. She asked the question in her mind, "You used to be very good at horse riding. Why did you fall off the horse today?"

Lu moved slightly, which affected the wound on her body and caused her facial features to twist in pain.

Thinking of the two sudden whips, she gnashed her teeth and said, "It's not that my daughter is not good at horse riding, it was someone who attacked from the side and caused me to fall off the horse!"

"Who hurt you?!"

The old lady thought that she had not ridden a horse for many years and therefore fell off the horse because of her poor riding skills. She had not yet thought that someone had hurt her, and her face suddenly darkened.

"It was the coachman who did it. I didn't see who was in the coach."

Lu recounted in detail the incident of her sudden attack, leaving Bai Youyou and everyone else with a puzzled look on their faces.

Why did the groom suddenly attack Lu if there was no grudge between them?

Everyone present was puzzled. It was not until an hour later when Lu San brought back the news that they were shocked and began to guess what was going on.

"The Queen Mother is going to die soon?!"

Lu San nodded, "The imperial physician in the palace said that the empress dowager needs Angongdihuang pills to survive. Now that Angongdihuang pills are gone, there is no hope for the empress dowager to survive."

Everyone's heart sank.

The old lady pursed her lips tightly, her expression solemn.

The emperor knew about the Angongdi Huangwan incident. With his suspicious nature, he must have thought that the Zhenguo Mansion had sided with the third prince.

They had guessed this before, but now that the Empress Dowager has lost her life due to Emperor Angong's Huangwan, the Emperor will definitely vent his anger on the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion because of this matter.

What made them even more silent was that it was Bai Yaoyao who saved the empress dowager.

"From the whole incident involving the refugees, the one who benefited is the mastermind behind the scenes." Lu Chen snorted coldly, "Bai Yaoyao has no one under her control, how could she mobilize so many people to deceive the refugees? This incident was most likely done by the prince!"

"It must be him!"

Bai Youyou said with a firm tone, "The Crown Prince deliberately framed the Queen Mother to protect Bai Yaoyao, hoping that Bai Yaoyao would save the Queen Mother and gain merit, so that he could save the Yongning Marquisate or Bai Yaoyao."

"That makes sense."

The old lady was in a solemn mood: "The Queen Mother is old and has lived in the deep palace for a long time. She has been vegetarian and chanting Buddha all year round and has no complaints with anyone. The prince probably planned this for Bai Yaoyao."

"The matter of refugees in the suburbs of Beijing is not under the jurisdiction of Uncle Xu, otherwise we could ask Uncle Xu about the situation."

Bai Youyou looked regretful.

Lu San added: "The emperor ordered Chen Zongguan to pass on an oral order to Lord Xu, ordering Lord Xu to thoroughly investigate the matter within three days."

"Hey!" Bai Youyou's eyes lit up, "We are the parties involved, so we can help Uncle Xu solve the case!"

She walked out as she spoke, "Grandma, I'm going to talk to Uncle Xu about the case."

"Be careful on the road!"

The old lady gave some instructions and ordered Lu San to protect her secretly.

This is a turbulent time, we must be on guard!

When Bai Youyou arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, the bailiff told her that Xu Lingyun had already taken people to where the refugees were in the suburbs of Beijing.

Bai Youyou turned his horse around and headed towards the outskirts of Beijing.

As the sun sets, the gorgeous sunset glow slowly unfolds in the sky like a huge red scroll, as bright as blood.

When Bai Youyou arrived, the scene before her made her feel cold all over.

There were corpses everywhere, and the brown soil was dyed dark red by blood.

There was a little girl nearby who was not yet dead. Her eyes were bulging and she was making weak cries for help.

“Sister…sister…help…help…”

There was a huge wound on her chest, blood was gushing out, and her bloody hand was raised and then suddenly dropped down.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet to my heart, making my white hairs stand on end and my whole body shiver.

"stop!!!"

Bai Youyou was walking forward step by step, and suddenly heard Xu Lingyun's heart-wrenching roar. She was startled and immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

Xu Lingyun was held to the ground by the Imperial Guards, and the people he brought with him were also restrained and unable to move.

Xu Lingyun watched the unarmed civilians die under the swords of the Imperial Guards. His eyes were bloodshot and veins on his forehead bulged.

"Prince, these are all innocent people, why do you insist on killing them all?!"

His voice was hoarse, and his throat was faintly filled with a strong smell of blood. Looking at those innocent people who died with their eyes open, he couldn't help but tremble violently.

"Master Xu, it is because of these refugees that my grandmother is dying!"

The prince looked helpless, "When the emperor is angry, millions of people die. I am just following orders."

Xu Lingyun asked sternly: "The prince can kill those who caused the rebellion, but most of these people have never participated in the incident at the Big Buddha Temple. Why didn't the prince investigate?"

The prince looked at Xu Lingyun, whose eyes were red and almost bleeding, and sighed, "Master Xu, if the king wants me to die, I have to die! I am just following orders in this matter. What's the point of you questioning me?"
