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

His words made Lu Lingye couldn't help but chuckle, "Second Master Bai, do you think I'm stupid?"

If there really is a way to predict the future, how could the prince be deposed so easily?

"Your Majesty, this is true. I would never dare to tell a lie."

"Your Majesty, what my father said is true."

Afraid that Lu Lingye would not believe what Bai Yanlang said, Bai Mulin on the side also nodded repeatedly, "My sister had previously calculated that Princess Liyang's little prince was abducted by a beggar, and also the imperial examination questions from the year before last, and they were exactly right!"

Looking at the father and son's solemn promises, Lu Lingye frowned.

Three years ago, the son of Liyang aunt was indeed abducted by the beggar, which alarmed the Imperial Guards. He wanted to win over Princess Liyang at that time, so he also sent people to look for him.

It seems that I heard that Bai Yanlang was also involved in this matter, but was intercepted by Xu Lingyun halfway.

Lu Lingye pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered another thing.

The death of Lu Wu from the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion!

Yes, if Marquis Yong'an had not known the news in advance, how could he have killed Lu Wu so easily?

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Bai Yanlang looked anxious, "Your Majesty, everything we said is true. If you don't believe us, you can go find my daughter Yaoyao, she will prove it for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, just ask my sister and you will know."

"I will trust you once for all. Let me verify the truth. If what you say is true, I will not treat you unfairly."

Lu Lingye believed it a little bit, but after all, he had the precedent of the Crown Prince. Whether Bai Yaoyao's predictive ability would be useful to him was another matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bai Yanlang and his son bowed and retreated. After leaving the palace, their bent backs immediately straightened up.

"Humph, what's so great about the Zhenguo Mansion? Even without them, I can still find someone to back me up!"

"You really think you are such an important person. When you see the royal family, you still have to kowtow and show respect!"

"They are so rude to me today, I will make sure they are out of my league tomorrow!"

Bai Yanlang cursed, but Bai Mulin was a little worried, "Dad, we still haven't received the money we owe, what should we do now?"

You can't sell all those ancestral properties to pay off the debts, right?

When the money owed was mentioned, Bai Yanlang immediately stopped talking.

This matter was also his fault. He tried to do the jade business but failed. Not only did he lose a huge sum of money, but he was also severely beaten up.

Today, I went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to ask Bai Youyou to borrow money, but I was thrown out before I even entered the door.

With no other options left, he had to bite the bullet and go find the former Third Prince, now Prince Rui.

Bai Yanlang said shamelessly: "Let's delay it for now. As long as we curry favor with Prince Rui, will they dare to take our lives?"

The father and son limped away, and the news that they were looking for Lu Lingye soon reached Bai Youyou's ears.

"Did Lu Lingye meet them?"

Lu San nodded, "Well, I don't know what they talked about, but both father and son looked so proud when they came out."

"What use are those two idiots to be worth Lu Lingye's attention?"

Bai Youyou was very curious.

When Bai Yanlang came in the morning, seeing how miserable he looked, she ordered people to investigate the matter.

The jade business was a trap. The father and son were foolish enough to get caught up in it, and they even lost most of the little property they got from dividing the family property.

"Have you found out who is the merchant who sold the jade?"

For the sake of the Bingcui bracelet, Bai Youyou was ready to help them so that they wouldn't come to her for money every now and then in the future.

"I heard that the man is from South City and specializes in jade business. There is nothing wrong with him. In the jade business, one cut can make you rich or poor. Even if we find him, we cannot convict him."

"Then leave them alone for now."

"The emperor has been taking medicine more frequently recently, and today he even asked Prince Rui to go to the Imperial Study to help with government affairs."

"Has the King of Leisure been found?"

"not yet."

The palace is the emperor's territory, and it is not easy to find out information.

"Young lady, I met Lord Qi today. From what he said, the emperor is not even going to allocate military pay this year."

Lu San looked worried.

They can still maintain the military rations, but the military pay is several million taels every year. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is good at making money, so it is impossible for them to come up with the money in a short time.

What's more, those soldiers are the imperial army, not the private soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If the imperial court doesn't support them, why should they work for the royal family!

"Is this a direct rejection of the royal family's reputation?"

Bai Youyou guessed that the emperor was shameless and would do such a thing, but he still couldn't help but swear, "Old man, you can't kill him!"

It was the first time that he heard his young lady swearing, and Lu San felt inexplicably better.

At this time, Lu Er walked in from outside, holding a secret letter unique to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Young lady, a secret letter from the frontier."

Bai Youyou used a special method to open the secret letter, and after reading the contents, she frowned slightly.

She had some impression of this incident, but she could no longer remember the details.

Lu Er asked, "Young lady, what happened to the Duke?"

Bai Youyou came back to her senses and shook her head. "My grandfather sent me a letter saying that the barbarians are willing to seek peace and have sent envoys to Beijing."

"The barbarians are asking for peace?" Lu San couldn't believe it. "After fighting for so many years, the barbarians are actually asking for peace. Isn't that exactly what the emperor wants?"

Lu Er's face was not looking good either. The emperor couldn't tolerate the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion guarding the border. Now the barbarians asked for peace, and the foolish emperor wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible!

How could Bai Youyou not recall it? She frowned and thought, and in a moment, a cold look flashed in her eyes.

"The world is not peaceful, and it is common to encounter bandits." She said with a gloomy expression, "Lu Er, Lu San, take your men to intercept the barbarian envoys. Don't let them enter the capital!"

Lu Er and Lu San looked at each other and responded strongly, "Yes!"

This matter was of great importance, so they did not dare to take it lightly. They found twenty good men, pretended to be bandits on a hill in the south of the city, and guarded the barbarian envoys.

In the cold palace, the queen looked at Bai Yaoyao, who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, with disgust in her eyes.

Momo wiped the chair before the Queen sat down leisurely.

Bai Yaoyao hid in the corner with her arms folded, shivering, "Don't come over, don't come over..."

Everything had gone so smoothly for her in the past that she had forgotten that this was a place where human life was worthless.

In the past few days, someone came to torture her every day, making her unable to live or die!

She was really scared, but no one paid any attention to her when she begged for mercy.

"All of you go down and guard it."

After dismissing everyone, the queen glanced at her with a smile, "Your father and brother said that you have the ability to predict the future?"

She still thinks this matter is ridiculous and doesn't know why the prince believed the nonsense of the father and son.
