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

When the mother and son heard the news, the expressions on their faces changed even more.

Jiang Nianwei lowered her head slightly, leaned close to Baili Zhao's ear, and whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "You should rest and recuperate in the next few days. I will take care of all the trivial matters."

She stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I will do my best to protect His Royal Highness Prince Yu with my medical skills."

Baili Jingyao nodded, "Master Jiang, you are truly an expert."

Wen Xiuwan was secretly annoyed and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Baili Zhao, who was a big threat to her, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.

Moreover, he is now very trusted by Baili Jingyao, and he also helped a lowly maid to rise to the top. How could she not feel jealous?

Baili Jingyao couldn't find out his true identity, but she could.

After Wen Xiuwan returned to the palace, she immediately asked someone to find out the details of Taoist Master Jiang.

She wondered to herself, how could there be someone in this world that Wen Xiuwan couldn't find out about?

Bailihe couldn't wait to tell Undaidai the news, but after returning to the East Palace, he found that Undaidai was missing.

"How could this be? Where is Concubine Wen? Why can't we find her?"

The palace was empty and silent; even the usual laughter of little girls disappeared without a trace, leaving behind an unusual tranquility.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Concubine Wen said that she would take the little princess to live in the other garden for a while."

A trace of doubt flashed across Baili He's brows, and he felt something was wrong: "Why is this so? How dare you let her leave the East Palace without my permission?"

"Your Highness, please calm down. It was actually you who approved Concubine Wen's move to the villa earlier." The guard reported cautiously.

"Send someone to the villa immediately!" Bailihe's tone revealed a hint of urgency.

At this moment, Wen Daidai suddenly went to the villa. Her behavior was really puzzling, and people had to speculate on the deeper meaning behind it.

As Baili He expected, soon after, the guards came to report in a panic: "Your Highness, something bad has happened. Concubine Wen..."

Bailihe's heart suddenly tightened, and his voice was low and hurried: "She...what happened?"

"When we hurried over, the villa had already turned into ashes, with only a few charred bodies scattered among the ruins..."

"What? No, that's impossible! Could it be that Undede... she also..."

"Concubine Wen was not spared either. The jewelry Your Highness gave her is still on a female corpse. The figure is exactly the same as Concubine Wen's. Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

Baili He felt a chill run through his heart when he heard this. He asked in disbelief, "Where is the body?"

When he saw the twisted figures left behind after being engulfed by the flames, and the miserable scene that was too miserable to look at, he couldn't help but start to retch.

"Ugh, how is it possible, how could she be dead?"

After all, Undaidai was one of her favorite concubines, and Bailihe felt a little sad when she died.

"Your Highness, after our careful investigation, we found that there are many suspicious points in this matter. It must be that someone deliberately set the fire. Therefore, the death of Concubine Wen was not God's will, but a man-made disaster!"

"This is outrageous! This is simply insane!"

Hearing this, Bailihe seemed to have all his strength drained away. His body swayed, his steps staggered, and he almost lost his balance.

Then he thought that perhaps this was the best ending. After all, no matter how much he doted on Undede, she always knew his secrets that were unknown to others, and the dead could not speak.

As for children, he will have many in the future, but a baby girl, who will die if she dies.

After comforting himself, Bailihe gradually calmed down. "Investigate first, and then tell me the results."

Hundreds of miles away, Wen Daidai was sitting in a carriage, holding Wen Ruoning in her arms.

She teased the child happily, "Ruoning, we are leaving here soon. You should live a good life with your mother."

"I hope we can reach Youzhou safely."

Bailihe must have thought she was dead by now.

Those bodies were the ones that Baili Zhao had sent people to find in advance based on her and the maid's body shapes, including that of the child.

She had arranged everything long ago. Now that she has escaped, she can lie dormant in Youzhou. Now she has provoked conflicts between the two countries, it's a pity for those loyal warriors she has trained.

But they had already prepared to die for her, so she suppressed her emotions.

"Princess, are we really going to Youzhou? Is Miss Jiang really trustworthy?"

"Since I have formed an alliance with her, I naturally trust her. Even if she wants to betray me, I have a foolproof plan to protect her." Wen Daidai raised the corner of her mouth to smile.

……

Wen Xiuwan's investigation also made some progress. As expected, the sudden appearance of this living immortal Taoist Master Jiang did allow her to discover clues.

"What Baiyun Temple? It's just a fraudulent Taoist temple. I will go to meet His Majesty and report the whole matter one by one!"

Unexpectedly, this Taoist Priest Jiang was so vulnerable, and Wen Xiuwan easily saw through the hypocritical veil behind him.

At this moment, Baili Jingyao was resting in his study. Eunuch Chen stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."

"She? Why is she here at this moment? No, can't you see I'm busy practicing?" Baili Jingyao's tone was filled with impatience.

"But...but this matter of Queen is related to Taoist Jiang."

Baili Jingyao slowly opened his eyes, a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, "Oh? It's about Master Jiang? Let her in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wen Xiuwan stepped into the palace, with an unresolved worry between her brows and a bit of urgency in her steps, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report, it's a matter of great importance!"

"What kind of important matter could make you so anxious?"

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that you have been deceived by Taoist Jiang, so I hurried here to tell you that I have secretly sent people to investigate the legendary Baiyun Temple. After a lot of hard work, I finally found some clues. It turns out that the people in the so-called Baiyun Temple are all carefully disguised, and there is no such temple in the world."

Baili Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and a deep look flashed across his eyes. "I once sent my confidant to visit the Taoist temple, and they reported back that the Taoist priest was extraordinary and not an ordinary person. How could I have expected that you would be regarded as a fraud who stole the reputation?"

"I also felt that this matter was strange, so I ordered people to conduct in-depth investigations and asked the local villagers. They all shook their heads and denied it, saying that they had never heard of Baiyun Temple, let alone seen the figure of a Taoist priest."

Wen Xiuwan said confidently, without any fear, "What I am worried about is that Master Jiang is just a name for nothing, and is deliberately making up stories to disturb His Majesty with his stories about ghosts and gods."

"Enough!" The emperor's voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Over the past few days, he has personally verified the miraculous effects of the method taught by Taoist Master Jiang, and he knows it very well.

Now, he feels refreshed, his face seems to be rejuvenated and more radiant.

Of course, he was very clear about some of Master Jiang's things, but the methods she taught were effective, so she was a useful person to him.

Baili Jingyao was about to get angry when he found Eunuch Chen hurriedly reporting: "Your Majesty, Guard Meng said he wants to see you for something important!"

"Could it be that there is some clue about the assassin? Let him in quickly!"

Wen Xiuwan was furious. She wondered what kind of drug had Taoist Jiang given Baili Jingyao to gain his trust in her.

If there really is a secret to immortality, why would he be willing to stay in the palace? He must have other requests.

Meng Huaibei walked in with a serious face, and after paying his respects, he said, "Your Majesty, I have tortured that living person and extracted some useful clues."

"He was sent after all!"

Meng Huaibei's expression became more and more solemn, and he looked at Wen Xiuwan beside him.

Baili Jingyao seemed to have been reminded, "Queen, go back first. I will seriously investigate what you said."

Wen Xiuwan left unwillingly, and glared at Meng Huaibei fiercely before leaving.

Meng Huaibei then dared to tell what he had found out. "Your Majesty, the assassin has... killed himself when no one was paying attention, but this was found on him."

He presented the item, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Baili Jingyao took the token and took a look at it before his face darkened.

This is a token that can be used to enter and exit the city gate. Usually, only officials in the city have it. The prince is in charge of it on weekdays. In other words, someone in the city is colluding with this group of assassins and wants to murder him.

"I went to investigate with the token, but did not find any other officials who had lost their tokens. The only possibility is..."

Meng Huaibei didn't say anything more, but Baili Jingyao already knew what he was going to say, "You mean the prince?"

"Your Majesty, this is just my bold guess!" Meng Huaibei bowed hurriedly, with a hint of caution in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Baili Jingyao became furious and clenched the cold token with his five fingers, as if he wanted to crush the doubts in his heart.

"Send an order immediately to summon the Crown Prince to the palace to meet the Emperor!"

Bailihe obviously hadn't realized what had happened, he just felt that his father was different today than usual.

There was a hint of anger on his face, "Evil boy, look at what this is?"

The token drew an arc in the air and landed steadily on the ground in front of Bailihe, making a crisp sound. Bailihe's face was full of confusion. He shook his head and said in a puzzled voice: "Father, this is just a token for daily entry and exit of the city gate."

The emperor's eyes were as cold as ice. He held the token tightly, as if he wanted to crush it. "This was found on the body of the assassin who tried to kill me. My rebellious son, I love you very much, but you dared to plot against my life!"

Upon hearing this, Baili He's face turned pale in an instant. He kowtowed repeatedly, his voice filled with fear and grievance: "Father, Father, I dare not even think of this! You know my character very well, how could I do such a rebellious thing? I am really at a loss as to what to do with this token, I know nothing at all!"

"You don't know?"

Then someone else came to report, and Meng Huaibei informed Baili Jingyao of the results of the investigation, "Your Majesty, Princess Mu was burned to death in the villa, and the clues of the token investigation were cut off when it reached her! But someone in the East Palace can prove that... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed plotting something with Wen Daidai."

The rage in Baili Jingyao's heart finally erupted like a volcano, and he mercilessly slapped Baili He's face several times in a row, with such force that his cheeks were almost swollen and red.

"I treated you well and cultivated you with all my heart, but you were so cruel and ruthless that you colluded with the Princess of Mu and attempted to murder me!

"Baili Jingyao's voice trembled, full of disappointment and anger.

He waved his hand and said sternly, "Come here, quickly take the prince down and put him in the prison! Investigate his actions over the past few days and don't miss a single detail!"

Time and again he cleaned up the mess for his son and gave him chances to reform, but Bailihe was like a hopeless case and never understood his painstaking efforts.

And now, he even dared to collude with foreign enemies, plot evil, and try to put him to death.

This outrageous act completely touched Baili Jingyao's bottom line.

As for the rest of the things, perhaps he could still tolerate them and turn a blind eye.

But this has already threatened his life, and he really can't tolerate it.

"Father! Father, please understand that my son's heart is clear as day and moon. I have no intention of harming you. I hope you will believe in my innocence."

Until this moment, Baili He felt as if awakened from a dream. Those hidden assassins from the Mu State had quietly sneaked into the palace yesterday. Their real target was not Baili Zhao, but his father, Emperor Baili Jingyao!

"Father, Father, all of this is a conspiracy by others to frame me! It's Prince Yu, yes, it must be Prince Yu who is behind this, intending to put the blame on me!"

"Your brother, Prince Yu, is still lying on his sickbed, unconscious, and you actually accused him of framing you? Let me ask you, if he really wanted to harm you, why would he put himself in such a dangerous situation? My prince, your actions really make me sad and disappointed!"

Baili Jingyao was so furious that he already had the idea of ​​getting rid of the prince.

On the other side, the news that Bailihe had been imprisoned reached Wen Xiuwan's ears as quickly as the wind.

"What? The prince is plotting treason? This is absolutely absurd! He'er would never do such a treasonous thing!" Wen Xiuwan's face suddenly changed and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is furious right now. If you go there now, I'm afraid it will only add fuel to the fire and make His Majesty even more angry." The maid beside her whispered, her words full of worry.

"No, I can't just sit there and watch! Nothing can happen to He'er, and he can't make any mistakes!"

Xiu Wan's heart suddenly sank. In panic, she could not help but kneel down under Baili Jingyao's dragon robe, with anxiety in her voice that could not be concealed: "Your Majesty, there must be something fishy about this matter. Someone must have deliberately framed He Er. I beg you to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear He Er's name."

Baili Jingyao's eyes were as cold as frost. He looked down at the woman who had shared supreme glory with him. There was an indescribable irony in his tone: "Your precious son almost caused my death, and you are still begging for him here. Queen, Queen, you are really my 'caring' good queen."
