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

Huang Jiayuan naturally also admired Lord Xu, who was the top three scholar in the imperial examination. Hearing this, he pouted and stood beside her obediently.

Bai Luochuan happily entered the yard, and when he saw Huang Shanshan and her brother, he quickly asked someone to serve them fruit and tea.

Bai Youyou and a few others were busy looking for Lu, leaving early and returning late every day.

Originally, Bai Luochuan didn't think there was anything wrong with Huang Shanshan and her brother coming to see him, but then the spy who was keeping an eye on the Third Prince came to report that Huang Shanshan had gone to the Third Prince's mansion.

"Huang Shanshan went to the Third Prince's Mansion?"

Bai Youyou frowned slightly, feeling very suspicious.

Wasn't Huang Shanshan flirting with her stupid second brother? Why did she go to the Third Prince's house again?

"Do you know what she was doing at the Third Prince's Palace?"

"The Third Prince's residence is heavily guarded. I have not yet found out what they are doing."

Bai Youyou had a feeling that Huang Shanshan had intentionally approached Bai Luochuan, so she called Lu Qi over and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Huang Shanshan and see what she's up to."

Lu Qi took the order and left, while Bai Youyou continued to think about Lu's affairs.

Since he couldn't find Lu here, Mei San spent a lot of effort and finally found a woman with a figure similar to Lu.

But that face was so different from Lu's that the disguised woman had to work on it for a long time.

"Is this the only way?"

Mei San frowned.

Twenty years ago, Lu was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital. Even without mentioning other things, one can get a glimpse of this from the daughter she gave birth to.

The disguised woman nodded and said, "No matter how much you disguise yourself, the bone structure will never be exactly the same."

Mei San couldn't remember what Lu looked like, so the current appearance of this person was still drawn based on Bai Youyou.

Three days was too short a time to find someone with a similar face. He thought for a while and asked someone to tie a wide cloth around the man's face, and then pulled his hair loose to cover half of his face. Only the eyebrows and eyes were about 70% similar.

"So be it."

Three days later, the two sides met on Qingling Mountain.

Everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion was on high alert, only to see "Lu" being grabbed by the arm and dragged over.

Bai Youyou's heart suddenly tightened as she stared at the woman whose hands were tied and whose hair covered half of her face.

She was not sure whether this person was her mother or not. She remained calm and secretly signaled Lu Xuan to check.

Lu Xuan approached quietly, Mei San raised his hand and placed the sword across Lu's neck. He exerted a little force, and blood flowed out from the tender white neck.

"Stop! If you come any closer, I will kill you with my sword!"

Not knowing whether it was true or not, Lu Xuan didn't dare to act rashly. He could only retreat back to Bai Youyou's side.

Bai Youyou's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Mei San opposite him, "Master Mei, this is probably not my mother, right?"

Mei San remained calm, "Miss Bai, why do you say that? Can't you recognize your mother?"

Those tearful eyes looked so much like Lu's. Bai Youyou pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Don't waste time, change people."

Mei San was afraid that the night would be too long and he used a third of his strength to hold the sword against Lu's neck.

The veins on Lu's forehead bulged out in pain, and he kept making painful "woohoo" sounds from his mouth.

"stop!"

Bai Youyou's heart tightened as he looked at the gushing blood and he shouted angrily.

If the sword had deviated a little more, it would have cut the aorta. If anything unexpected happened, it would have been too late to regret.

Lu Chen walked forward carrying the tied-up Liu Laogui. Just as he pushed him out, the third prince suddenly arrived with his troops.

"Miss Bai, that's not your mother!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen quickly tried to catch Liu Laogui, but Mei San's sword stabbed straight at him.

Lu Chen dodged sideways and kicked Mei San's wrist.

Liu Laogui wanted to run, but Mei San grabbed him by the collar and made him retreat quickly.

Lu Xuan and others were fighting with the people brought by Mei San. The Third Prince would definitely not let Mei San take Liu Laogui away, and he immediately sent people to help the people in the Zhenguo Mansion.

The situation was one-sided. Mei San knew that he couldn't bring anyone back today, so he could only grit his teeth and shout "retreat!"

The scene, which had just been filled with the sound of fighting, suddenly became quiet.

Bai Youyou walked up to the Third Prince and said, "Third Prince, do you know where my mother is?"

The Third Prince shook his head. "My people found out that the Crown Prince has sent people everywhere to look for someone who looks like your mother. I guess he might be trying to use a substitute to deceive you."

Bai Youyou was annoyed at the prince's cunning, but she was not grateful to him.

Since Lu is not in the hands of the prince, it is obvious that she is in the hands of the person in front of him. However, he will not admit it, and he has no evidence to ask him for the person.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. However, my mother's whereabouts are still unknown, so we will take our leave now."

The Third Prince said gently, "I will definitely help you find it."

"Then your Highness, Lao."

Bai Youyou pretended not to know, nodded at him, and quickly went down the mountain with Lu Xuan and others.

At this time, the prince was furious in the East Palace, "What's the point of raising them, they are a bunch of useless people who can't even do this little thing!"

Zhu Liu looked anxious, "Your Highness, the Immortal Powder has been used up!"

Seven or eight ministers gathered at the gate of the East Palace.

The cheeks of several people were sunken and their eyes were cloudy, as if bugs were crawling on their bodies. They kept pinching the backs of their hands, as if they were trying hard to endure something.

"Why hasn't Your Highness come out yet?"

"I can't stand it anymore, I can't stand it anymore!!"

"what!!!"

At first, some people rushed in, ignoring the guards' attempts to stop them.

"Your Highness, we want to see Your Highness!!"

"Your Highness, please give me the Divine Powder, please give me the Divine Powder!!"

The commotion here was so loud that someone immediately went to report to the Queen.

"My queen, at the gate of the East Palace, many ministers are clamoring for the prince to give him the magic powder!"

"really?"

When the queen heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She stood up from her chair and ordered her trusted nanny, "Quickly send someone to check who went to the East Palace today!"

The nanny took the order and left, and the queen grinned excitedly.

Her prince told her not to take any action during these days and just watch the fight between the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Crown Prince.

After this incident, the prince must have suffered a serious blow!

Naturally, the affairs of the Eastern Palace also reached the ears of the emperor. He put away the elixir he had just refined, his face so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping out of it.

"Who went to the East Palace?"

"There are the Minister of Revenue, the Left Chancellor Li, the Chief Censor Wan, and the Imperial College's Chief Academician Xu..."

Every time Li Zongguan announced a name, the emperor's face became more gloomy.

That rebellious son appeared submissive on the surface, but secretly he had won over so many court officials, even the second-rank official, the General of the Auxiliary State, was his man!

Manager Li glanced at him cautiously, and seeing that he pursed his lips with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, he knew that the prince was doomed this time.

The emperor was most afraid of others coveting his throne. The prince's attempt to win over court officials was undoubtedly a violation of the emperor's taboo. Even if he had the friendship with the late queen, it was likely that he would not be able to keep his position as the crown prince.
