Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Baili Jingyao's heart was filled with turmoil and he was extremely angry at Baili He's reckless behavior. Even his plan seemed so clumsy, and now he had to sort out this mess personally.

At this time, Eunuch Chen said, "General Xie, have you ever thought about it carefully? The consequences of impeaching the crown prince are very serious. The crown prince is the heir to the throne."

Baili Jingyao waved his hand and gave Xie Zhuo a way out. "The emperor who broke the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. What you said is true and reasonable. However, there is something strange about this matter, and it has not been fully clarified yet. Perhaps there is another hidden secret. When I thoroughly investigate this matter, I will give you a fair, selfless and satisfactory answer. What do you think?"

"The minister obeys the order."

Sure enough, His Majesty was still trying to evade responsibility, but Xie Zhuo did not come this time to really convict the prince, but just to test His Majesty's reaction as the note said.

The story quickly spread throughout the capital, and ordinary people exaggerated the story, creating many different versions of the story.

It was said that the prince turned love into hatred and sent someone to secretly kill Xie Wangshu.

Coupled with the rumors about Meng Wanran’s tragic death, it makes people feel even colder. When they think about it carefully, they can’t help but feel a chill down their spine.

"Your Highness, this Crown Prince is truly unworthy of his position."

"I heard that the first Crown Princess was also killed because she discovered some of the Crown Prince's secrets..."

"Now this woman has lost her life before she even married into the East Palace."

"He relies on his status as the crown prince and treats human life as worthless. Just imagine, if such a person ascends the throne as emperor, wouldn't we, the common people, be trapped in the sea of ​​suffering and suffer?"

After these words were spoken, Bailihe's already precarious reputation became even worse, and it fell to the bottom, becoming notorious and despised by the world.

Baili He was also in great pain, as Xie Wangshu seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

His men had just discovered some clues that there was a secret passage under the lake. When they were about to continue investigating, Xie Wangshu appeared again.

It is said that he was washed into a secret passage at the bottom of the lake and was rescued by nuns from a nunnery by the river.

Bailihe felt mixed emotions, at least no one was killed, but he was greatly affected by this incident.

The ministers in the court seemed to have agreed to use this incident to impeach Baili He, which caused Baili Jingyao a headache. Under pressure, he had to drag out a woman to take the blame.

It was said that she was jealous of Xie Wangshu, so she designed to push him into the lake.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not caused by jealousy at all.

Xie Zhuo also naturally proposed that he wanted to marry his daughter to Prince Yu, and Baili Jingyao had no reason to refuse.

Bailihe was even more depressed. He was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

He drank his wine in silence, "This is all so wrong."

Seeing this, Wen Daidai softly consoled him, "Your Highness, you have to think clearly. If Prince Yu is lucky enough to escape this disaster... then the daughter of the Xie family will probably become a member of Prince Yu's mansion. By then, if we want to intervene, it will be too late and everything will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Bailihe put his wine glass heavily on the table, causing the wine to splash like tiny beads. He said in a deep voice, "Daidai, go and make the arrangements. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Wen Daidai was delighted, "I understand. I will go and arrange everything right away and will not let Your Highness down."

"Wait a minute, Dede." Bailihe's voice was hesitant. "The last assassination attempt failed. Can you really ensure that this time it will be foolproof?"

Dai Dai smiled softly, leaned close to Bailihe's ear, and whispered a few words in a voice that only he could hear. Bailihe's brows gradually relaxed, and a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, "This plan is indeed ingenious and flawless."

"Even if the truth is revealed, Your Highness will never be implicated in the slightest..."

An eagle flew across the sky, and Wen Dai Dai's eyes sparkled. "I want to eat fresh pigeon stew today. Ask the kitchen to prepare it."

"Okay, ma'am."

Wen Dai Dai drank the pigeon soup and praised it: "This pigeon soup tastes really delicious."

Jiang Nianwei received the letter from Feiying, "Bai Lihe has joined the game. I will go to find A Zhao now to discuss this matter with him."

Baili Zhao was training his troops in the military camp. After hearing about Baili He's incident, he knew that Sanniang must have taken action.

Unexpectedly, Sanniang actually went straight into the military camp. He was extremely strict when training soldiers.

At this moment, several warriors went into battle shirtless, waving spears in the biting winter wind.

When Taozhi saw this scene, she couldn't help but cover her face with her sleeves, her cheeks slightly red, and whispered to Jiang Nianwei beside her: "Miss, this scene is too bold, let's not look directly at it, otherwise we will lose our ladylike demeanor."

Although Taozhi had been in a military camp before, this was the first time she had seen such a scene.

"There is nothing indecent about it. On the contrary, I think this scenery is quite pleasing to the eyes. In the future, if Taozhi has a brave soldier in mind, just tell me, and I will be happy to be the one to go between them." Jiang Nianwei had a playful smile on her lips, and her words were full of teasing.

"Miss, what you said is really nonsense." Taozhi's cheeks instantly turned red, and her shyness was beyond words.

"This is nonsense, Taozhi, do you want to stay with me forever? Don't you want to have your own life?"

Taozhi had never thought about this question before. "As long as I am with you, I am already satisfied. Please don't think I am annoying."

Zheng Changkong had already noticed Jiang Nianwei's arrival, "Your Majesty, Miss Jiang is here."

When he heard that Jiang Nianwei was coming, his cold expression immediately relaxed, and an irrepressible gentle smile bloomed in his eyes: "Ahem, everyone, go and rest for a while."

When these words were spoken, the soldiers who were training hard were all stunned. When had the prince ever shown such a tolerant side?

"And more." His smile was still there, but his tone was stern, "Hurry up and get dressed. This is so disgraceful!"

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, their hearts full of doubts. Wasn't this the training rule that the prince had strictly ordered to be enforced before? They had to go into battle shirtless to forge their steel bones.

But military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and although they were full of confusion, they could only put on their clothes quickly.

After I finished getting ready, I suddenly realized that there were two women approaching.

"Sanniang, did you come here specifically to visit me?"

In the military camp, Baili Zhao, who was always known for his iron-blooded and cold face, now had a gentle look, as if he could melt the coldness around him, which surprised everyone present.

"I guess so. Please stay for a moment. These are snacks that Taozhi prepared by herself. Just consider them as a token of my appreciation. You may as well taste them together."

After saying that, Taozhi quietly opened the bamboo basket. In an instant, an enticing aroma spread slowly in the military camp, tempting everyone's taste buds.

"It smells so good, what on earth is this?" someone asked curiously.

"It seems to be the aroma of roast goose!" Another person's nostrils flared, his face full of surprise.

At this time, a simple soldier took the initiative to step forward and took the basket. His cheeks were slightly red, and his voice was a little shy and grateful: "Thank you, sister, it's really troublesome."

Taozhi's expression suddenly changed, and displeasure was revealed between her brows, "You must be a newcomer, how dare you call me sister casually."

The soldiers around looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this. The veteran soldiers in the barracks knew Taozhi well, and they couldn't help laughing when they saw this. The atmosphere became relaxed for a moment.

"Sister Taozhi, this is a new brother who has joined us. He is born with supernatural powers, and the prince specially arranged for him to train with us." An old soldier explained with a smile.

The new guy blushed when he heard this and scratched his head in a simple and honest manner, "I'm sorry, Taozhi... Miss, I just got here and I don't know anything. I hope you can bear with me."

"Don't call me girl, just call me Taozhi." Although Taozhi's tone was a bit arrogant, it was also much softer.

The young man still had a bit of childishness on his face, and it seemed that he was a little younger than her.

He laughed at her without any hesitation. Taozhi turned her head away unhappily and ignored him.

Jiang Nianwei followed Baili Zhao into the tent. "I haven't been here for a long time, but this camp is still bustling."

"If you like this kind of excitement, you can come here often." Baili Zhao smiled softly.

"I came here this time to discuss something important. Have you heard anything about Miss Xie?"

"Naturally, this matter has spread all over the city. My father has already approved of my marriage with Miss Xie, but..." His expression was a little unnatural when he said this.

"Sanniang, do you really have no grudges in your heart? I am engaged to another woman?"

"Miss Xie likes my second brother. I'm not worried at all that she will fall in love with someone else. I believe in my second brother's charm."

Hearing this, he raised a playful smile, "So, you are the only one who doesn't believe in the charm of your husband?

"The marriage contract is nothing but a piece of paper. You now understand my purpose."

"Yes, I know."

At this moment, Zheng Changkong whispered a few words in Baili Zhao's ear, and his face gradually became heavy.

Jiang Nianwei was also curious about what the two were talking about.

After Zheng Changkong left, Baili Zhao slowly turned around and said, "Sanniang, do you have any doubts about what Changkong and I just discussed in private?"

"I have long noticed that there is some mystery in your words, as if there is some unspeakable secret."

"Just now, I learned that...King Rui has been killed."

"King Rui?" Jiang Nianwei frowned slightly, and a wave of emotion surged in her heart, "Hasn't he already seen through the world and entered the pure land of Buddhism? Why are there still people who want to harm him?"

"In fact, during this period of time, I have been investigating my own life experience and why my father and mother hate me so much. I guessed that I might not be their biological child, but I discovered another shocking secret."

Jiang Nianwei frowned: "What secret?"

"The prince may not be the emperor's biological son."

When Jiang Nianwei first heard this secret, she was stunned. She had long felt that there were clues but had never sent anyone to investigate.

"You mean, the prince is actually the blood of King Rui?"

"That should be the case. When my mother was young, she always liked Prince Rui. Unfortunately, she married my father. She was unwilling and hated him, and she also felt an indescribable alienation and disgust towards me, her biological son. She was eager for Baili He to ascend the throne, and she did achieve this. After all, the throne of Dasheng has always been inherited by the eldest son."

"I understand, but now that King Rui is dead, no one knows these secrets."

"This is what I am most worried about. The killer is highly skilled in martial arts, but the real cause of King Rui's death was a chronic poison. The killer was just a cover. The secrets in this royal family are as complicated as a spider web. Now, the most important clue has disappeared along with King Rui."

Sanniang, have you ever found out who the assassins who sneaked in to assassinate us that night belonged to?

Jiang Nianwei shook her head gently. To her, this matter was just like seeing flowers in the fog, not very clear.

"He is a minion of Meng Huaibei," the speaker said with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "Although he is in front of the emperor and is loyal to his duty, as the son of Meng Yuanwei, how can he not run around and serve his father privately?"

"Abei..." Jiang Nianwei murmured.

He had clearly helped him with things before, and he also said that he was not the kind of person who curryed favor with the powerful in the eyes of the world.

"There must be something hidden in this. I will definitely investigate it. Why are you looking at me like this?"

"I'm just jealous, Sanniang, can't you sense it? I don't like you saying good things about other men in front of me."

Jiang Nianwei shook her head gently, with helplessness in her eyes, "I have said it many times, to me, Ah Bei is just a brother, nothing else, you can rest assured, don't be so narrow-minded and suspicious, my prince."

"Hmph, how dare you tease me for being stingy!" Baili Zhao pretended to be displeased.

"Don't be so irritable," Jiang Nianwei smiled gently, "The plum blossom cake I brought back specially for you is almost cold."

Hearing this, Baili Zhao smiled and gladly took the exquisite pastry. He took a bite and instantly, the fresh fragrance of plum blossoms filled his lips and teeth.

"This taste is really nostalgic. From now on, every winter, Sanniang, you must make it for me."

Ah Zhao is easily jealous, but also very easy to please.

But Jiang Nianwei began to have another plan in her mind. The prince was not her biological son, and there was no wall that was impenetrable in this world. She would definitely be able to find other clues.

And this matter is related to Abei...she can go to him to ask for clarification.

……

At this moment, Meng Yuanwei was also praising him in front of everyone, "Look, Huaibei has only been back for a short time, but he has made so many contributions. Can you do the same? I wish you could learn from him!"

"Father, you are too kind," he responded softly, with a look of indifference and self-knowledge in his eyes, "Huaibei just happened to be in the right place at the right time, it was just luck. My brothers are all talented and have a bright future, and I know I can't compare to them."

He knew clearly in his heart that Meng Yuanwei's words were just a subtle game of flattery and slaying. How could a mere illegitimate son be able to compete with his legitimate sons?

However, he didn't mind at all, because he had no feelings for his father and brothers, and he didn't want to integrate with them. Everything was just for his wish. He was lurking in the Meng Mansion to find an opportunity to take action, and at the same time he was also trying to find out the unknown secrets of Meng Yuanwei.
