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

"Zhao'er, why are you here so hastily?"

Baili Zhao knelt down on the ground, raised his eyes slightly, a hint of concern flashed across his eyes, and gently fell on Jiang Nianwei who was not far away.

I was extremely anxious about her misfortune, and my plan, which had originally been planned to be carried out a few days later, had to be brought forward to today.

"Father, I have something extremely urgent to report to you immediately."

What is so urgent that it can surpass my safety? Zhao'er, do you know that I almost died from the poison? "Bai Li Jingyao's eyebrows revealed a little fatigue.

"I came here to help you, father, and to investigate the truth of this matter."

"Tell me in detail, what important matter do you have in your heart that you want to tell me?"

Baili Zhao looked around at the eunuchs standing around him, his eyes solemn, "Father, this matter is of great importance. I beg you to order the people around to step aside for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Baili Jingyao gently waved his hand. Eunuch Chen understood what he meant and then led everyone to retreat quietly. The hall suddenly became much emptier.

"Master Jiang, please take shelter for a while."

Jiang Nianwei looked at him, but she also understood that this was to protect her from being affected, so she could only nod silently and turned away with a hint of helplessness.

Baili Zhao turned his gaze behind him, and said with a hint of reminiscence, "Father, do you still remember this Madam Lu?"

Baili Jingyao's gaze suddenly froze on a woman with a distorted face and scars all over her body. His heart suddenly trembled: "She has come to this state, how can I recognize her?"

"This person is none other than Nanny Lu, who used to serve my mother closely."

"Madame Lu?" Baili Jingyao fell into deep thought. He did have some impression of this Madame Lu.

When Wen Xiuwan first entered the palace, this nanny had always been serving her, but she was sent out of the palace when she reached a certain age.

"Why did she end up in such a miserable situation?"

Baili Zhao replied word by word: "Because... she knew the secret of her mother, and was hunted down. Now her family is broken up, and she survived death and became what you see now."

Nanny Lu stepped into this palace of power, with no way out but to face it. Facing this supreme emperor, there was no fear in her eyes, only a tranquility that transcended life and death.

"What secret?"

Nanny Lu said resolutely: "Your Majesty, those who knew the secret back then have all passed away, leaving only me. Your Majesty, do you know that the prince born to the Queen is not your biological son?"

Baili Jingyao felt as if he was struck by lightning. His body trembled uncontrollably, and disbelief and horror flashed in his eyes. "You... is what you just said true? This is absolutely ridiculous!"

Recalling the passionate scene with the Queen that night, the spots of blood on the bed sheet are still clearly visible before his eyes. After ten months of pregnancy, the prince was born in perfect order without any mistakes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you have any evidence?"

For him, the humiliation of being labeled a cuckold was undoubtedly the most bitter pill in the world to swallow. It made him furious and his sanity was on the verge of collapse.

"I've said that those who knew the truth were all executed by the Empress. If I hadn't pretended to be dead, I probably wouldn't have escaped. But I personally delivered the Crown Prince and gave the Empress the medicine to drink."

Baili Jingyao's anger surged like a raging wave. He suddenly grabbed Lu Mama's throat and said in a low voice: "Do you know what consequences your remarks will cause?"

Baili Zhao, who was standing by, saw this and wanted to step forward to help, but was blocked by the secret guards who followed his father like a shadow and could not move.

There was no fear in Nanny Lu's eyes. Facing the emperor's rage, she calmly stated, "Your Majesty, I have the guts to say something. I heard that you were attacked and poisoned. I'm afraid the Queen is behind this."

Baili Jingyao slowly loosened his fingers around the nanny's neck, and the deep faith in the queen in his heart was like brittle ice meeting fire, and cracks appeared.

The past years came to mind. Wen Xiuwan, the woman who was once as bright as spring and had extraordinary bearing, and because the Wen family was extremely powerful, she was once a noble lady that all the princes competed for.

He had indeed put a lot of thought into getting her, but he had never imagined that...she had been secretly having an affair with someone else before she got married.

In the past, they had spent some tender and affectionate days together. He believed that Wen Xiuwan had some feelings for him in her heart. Little did he know that the so-called love was just hatred in disguise from beginning to end.

"Where is the Queen? Why has she taken so long to come?" Baili Jingyao was furious, his eyes were about to burst, and in his indignation, he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" Eunuch Chen ignored etiquette and rushed in without notifying anyone.

"Eunuch Chen, why are you so flustered and out of control?" Baili Jingyao asked, suppressing the anger in his chest.

"Your Majesty, the Queen...she led people into the dungeon, and the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince was taken away by her!"

"This is outrageous! Queen, Queen, I thought that you were so sincere and really wanted to make peace with me, but I didn't expect that this was an elaborate scam. You have been playing tricks on me from the beginning to the end!" Emperor Baili Jingyao was furious.

In this case, what this Nanny Lu said is most likely true.

The remaining poison was raging in his body, and coupled with the sudden blow, he felt his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He could only lean weakly on the dragon throne with a gloomy look on his face.

"Come here, pass on my order immediately. Search the entire city for the Queen and the Crown Prince. No matter if they are dead or alive, they must be found for me!"

……

Wen Xiuwan originally thought that the plan was flawless. Fortunately, she heard the news in advance and there was no time to waste, so she could only lead people into the dungeon and rescue Bailihe.

He'er might still have hope, but if he dies, this world will become a wasteland for her, with no light to look forward to.

"He'er, let's go, let's get out of here."

"Mother, how are we going to live after we leave the palace?"

"As long as the foundation of the Wen family remains intact, we will have the day to revive. He'er, don't be afraid. Don't worry, your mother will protect you. Now that the Meng family and the Wen family have joined forces, this place will definitely belong to us."

The capital city was in chaos, and Meng Yuanwei took advantage of this opportunity to lead the Meng family's troops to break into the palace and rebel.

With Meng Huaibei as an insider in the palace, there shouldn't be any problem.

Unexpectedly, Meng Huaibei did not regard this news as an order as expected. Instead, he watched the letter burn to ashes quietly under the dim candlelight.

Afterwards, he quickly dealt with the monitors sent by the Meng family around him.

Drops of blood slid down the blade and dripped onto the cold ground.

He slowly raised his hand, wiped the blood off his face, and sneered, "Father, the karma you created will finally come to fruition."

"I knew this day would come, but I never thought it would come so soon."

Fortunately, Jiang Nianwei was well prepared. Even if there was no Red Fire Army guarding the capital, there was still the Xie Family Army.

The two elder brothers noticed the sudden change in the situation in the city and did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately led their cavalry and rushed over like a storm.

"My fellow brave soldiers, you are all the backbone of Dasheng, with the same loyalty and passion flowing in your veins. How can you let the swords meet and kill each other become the tragic song under this imperial city? Lay down your weapons, submit to justice, and you can still save your lives and work together for the great cause of the country; otherwise..."

At this time, the two legitimate sons of Meng Huaibei shouted at the top of their lungs: "Don't let the evil people confuse the people with their lies! Today, you have to follow me to charge into the battle and attack Huanglong! Whoever can catch the two alive, I will ask my father to appoint him as a general.

They knew in their hearts that all this was done in accordance with the careful deployment of their father Meng Huaibei. They coordinated internal and external efforts and vowed to break through the iron walls of the Forbidden City in one fell swoop, forcing the current emperor Baili Jingyao to abdicate and support the crown prince to ascend the throne.

The prince is the emperor on paper, but from now on Dasheng belongs to the Wen family and the Meng family. How can they not be arrogant?

However, he didn't know that Meng Huaibei had already turned against them. He was waiting for this moment to kill the Meng family with justification.

Meng Huaibei led the palace guards and pretended to surrender, "My two brothers, are you comfortable with the service of those big men?"

"Meng Huaibei, you stinky boy!"

Meng Wu stopped Meng Wen and whispered in his ear, "Brother, this is a critical moment. Don't lose the big picture because of the small things. Don't lose the big picture because of the small things. After this is done, Dad will not let him go. Only then will we have the chance to torture him properly."

Meng Wen has always been like this, an illegitimate child who cannot be seen in public, but he thought he was accepted by the family.

He never thought that the Meng family only used him and borrowed his power.

By then, all the charges of rebellion will be put on his head, and Meng Huaibei will be forced to live in misery and die!

"Brother, the time has come, you should let us enter the palace first!"

Meng Huaibei raised the corner of his mouth slightly and made way for him: "Please come in, my two brothers."

Meng Wen and Meng Wu were completely unaware. Behind them, the Meng family's cavalry was like a dark cloud, following them into the seemingly peaceful palace gate.

The surroundings were so quiet that one could even hear the slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other. A strange atmosphere quietly filled the air, causing ripples in the two people's hearts at the same time.

"Could it be that you really regard me as a member of the Meng family?"

Meng Huaibei was sitting on a tall horse when he suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was wanton and arrogant, like the howl of a wolf in the wilderness, shaking the air.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose from the ground, blowing up his sleeves, like a war flag fluttering in the storm.

He twisted his neck slightly, his eyes instantly turned cold as ice, and his tone was cold: "Go ahead, take them down."

Armored soldiers suddenly emerged from the walls on both sides and surrounded them. They were like birds in a cage and turtles in a jar, with nowhere to escape.

"Meng Huaibei, what are you talking about? We have an extremely urgent mission to complete!"

Meng Wu's voice trembled slightly, and he swallowed his dry saliva unconsciously, trying to ease the panic surging in his heart.

"Who are you kidding? I'm not teasing you."

Meng Huaibei raised his head with a stern smile, and slowly raised his head. His eyes penetrated the crowd and fixed on the sky that still maintained its pure blue color. "I have waited for this moment for too long."

The two reacted instantly, "How dare you betray us? If father knew about this, your end would be extremely miserable."

"Betrayal? Humph, you could say that. From the beginning to the end, my heart has never truly belonged to the Meng family. As for Meng Yuanwei, I have never been afraid of him."

Before he finished his words, he swung the blade in his hand, and with a flash of cold light, he took the lives of the two brothers.

Blood splattered, staining his cheeks red. The hatred that had been accumulated in his chest in the past seemed to disappear with the falling of the two heads.

"Lord Meng, all the rebels have been captured, and those who were stubborn and refused to surrender have been executed on the spot."

"Very good."

They are traitors, and executing them in a legitimate way will not only not cause any criticism, but will win praise from the court and the public, and the reward of Your Majesty for your meritorious service in protecting the emperor and your heroic act of sacrificing your relatives for the sake of justice.

If Meng Yuanwei knew about this, would he find it ironic?

His two most beloved legitimate sons were killed by his illegitimate son.

……

The rebellion in the capital city seemed to have been quelled with an iron fist overnight, and those scoundrels were captured before they could even touch the door of the imperial palace.

Baili Jingyao was leaning on the dragon couch, with Concubine Yan beside him, whispering softly and taking care of him attentively.

Upon hearing the news that all the rebels were arrested, he could not hide his surprise.

"They have not even been able to set foot into my imperial city?"

"Of course, it is because your Majesty is surrounded by loyal ministers and generals who protect the country and the people. How can he allow such scoundrels to act so recklessly?"

"Is it true that there is no one around me who treats me sincerely? The Queen is like this, and the Crown Prince is also like this. Have I really done something wrong?"

Baili Jingyao seemed to have aged several years overnight. Once upon a time, he thought that the path to becoming an emperor was to pursue immortality and enjoy the prosperity of the world.

But at this moment, the endless glory and joy cannot bring any comfort to the soul, leaving only confusion.

"Your Majesty, you still have me. I am willing to be your eternal support, by your side, and never leave you."

When Baili Jingyao heard this, the haze in his heart seemed to be penetrated by a ray of sunshine. He gently held Concubine Yan's hand and said, "Yan'er, it is my honor to have you by my side."

After Baili Jingyao fell asleep peacefully, Concubine Yan tiptoed out of the bedroom. Under the moonlight, she quietly walked around the deep bamboo forest and unconsciously walked towards the Taoist temple where Jiang Nianwei was practicing.

In the past, the two of them always communicated secretly, but now that Baili Jingyao was seriously ill, she no longer had so many concerns.

Entering the Taoist temple, Jiang Nianwei's eyes involuntarily fell on the exquisite hairpin in Concubine Yan's hair, and her tone was full of confusion: "If it's not with His Majesty, why do you still carry it?"

"You once told me that only by being genuine and pure can I win his favor. In this regard, I have never slacked off."

"But I have also told you that this kind of behavior will also be detrimental to your body. How can you ignore your own safety?"

"I have wasted half my life in the palace. Even if I get out, my family will be gone and my former fiancé will have a family. I will be all alone."
