Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

The woman in the cage seemed not to hear anything. She looked lifeless, like an emotionless puppet.

She was staring up at the ray of light that came from somewhere above her head, like a bird with broken wings that longed to fly into the blue sky.

It's so heartbreaking.

Bai Yan stepped on the stone blocks above the pond and walked towards Mrs. Bai in the cage step by step.

He didn't even look at his feet, but stared at Mrs. Bai without blinking, fearing that everything he saw was just a dream.

Only when he reached the outside of the golden cage did Bai Yan half-kneel and call out again, "Mom."

Mrs. Bai heard the voice and turned her head mechanically.

At first, her eyes held no emotion.

But gradually, a gleam of light appeared in her eyes.

Perhaps because she hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Bai spoke like a baby learning to speak: "Yan...er?"

Hearing this call, the eight-foot tall man's eyes instantly became moist, "Yes, I am Yan'er, your son Yan'er."

"son?"

Mrs. Bai's eyes gradually became clear, and the lifeless person seemed to be slowly coming back to life.

"Mom, I'm here to take you home."

The call to go home completely pulled Mrs. Bai out of the darkness of self-isolation. She was finally no longer like an emotionless puppet.

"Yan'er, Mommy misses you so much, misses your dad so much, and wants to go home so much." Mrs. Bai burst into tears. "My uncle locked me up here and won't let me go out. I'm so scared."

Bai Yan: It matches, all of it matches.

"Mom, don't be afraid, I'll get you out right now."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and made way. His follower understood what he meant and drew his sword, slashing at the lock.

Bang!

The sharp sword and the iron chain collided with each other, producing a spark, but the iron chain was not broken.

The attendant took a closer look and then said, "Sir, this iron cage is made of black iron. Ordinary swords and knives cannot cut it."

Bai Yan frowned slightly. Black iron?

Where did that person get so much black iron?

In Daxia, black iron is not something that can be purchased casually; it is a controlled item.

Only specific merchants and institutions can trade in black iron.

The Bai family is not qualified to trade in black iron.

Bai Yan's eyes were cold, "If you can't cut it, then unlock it."

One of the attendants immediately plucked a few strands of hair from his head and twisted them together, then carefully inserted the hair into the keyhole and fiddled with it.

This is a delicate job that requires excellent hearing.

Bai Yan's two followers followed him all over the country, saw a lot of things, and learned a lot.

After a while, there was a click and the iron lock opened.

Bai Yan immediately opened the door of the iron cage and walked in. The mother and son looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

"Mom, let's go out."

Bai Yan helped Mrs. Bai get down from the bed. Perhaps because she rarely walked and her lower limbs had no strength, Mrs. Bai almost fell down.

"Mom, let me carry you." Bai Yan turned around and squatted down.

Mrs. Bai knew that she couldn't walk now, so she lay on Bai Yan's back without thinking and let him carry her out.

She wants to escape from here!

Half a minute later, the four of them walked out of Mingyue Villa smoothly.

Before leaving, Bai Yan looked back at Mingyue Villa. Thinking of his mother's years of imprisonment, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

Then, he ordered in a cold voice: "Burn it."

Upon hearing this, one of the followers turned back.

One of the remaining followers asked, "Sir, are we going to take the lady home now?"

"No, my mother must return home with a clean record and dignity."

The fact that his mother had been imprisoned for seven years must not be known to anyone, otherwise the worldly views and vicious rumors would kill her.

He had to find a way to make up for these seven years so that his mother could return with a clear conscience.

Of course, he won't let go of anyone who hurt his mother!

***

On the other side, Jingzhao Yin and Bai Ze led people into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

When Marquis Jing'an saw Xie Xu, he knew he was finished.

After the news of Prince Rong's rebellion spread, he wanted to stop. But he didn't expect Yilanduo to act so quickly, and the first person she poisoned was the Queen!

The prince led his men to kick open the door of the Chongwenguan student dormitory, and his men pulled the son of Marquis Jing'an out of the quilt.

The Marquis of Jing'an was bewildered.

The prince kindly reminded him, "Sir, do you think the view from the rooftop of the library is nice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Prince of Jing'an immediately understood what was going on.

The fear of death immediately filled his eyes.

Emperor Yuan was sitting in Yilan Palace drinking tea at this time, and Concubine Lan was very surprised by Emperor Yuan's arrival.

Logically speaking, the Queen is seriously ill now, and Emperor Yuan should stay by her side.

Emperor Yuan shouldn't have come to her.

Did he discover something?

"Why are you standing so far away, my beloved? Come here." Emperor Yuan put down the teacup in his hand and said.

Concubine Lan did not dare to disobey and walked towards Emperor Yuan with a smile as usual.

"How come Your Majesty is free today..."

The sound was lost in his throat. Emperor Yuan fiercely grabbed Concubine Lan's neck and lifted her up. The palace maids in Yilan Palace were all startled and then knelt down tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"You should never hurt the Queen, otherwise I could have kept you for a while longer."

A strange look flashed in Concubine Lan's eyes, and she argued cunningly, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you mean."

Emperor Yuan didn't waste time talking to her and said directly: "Bring out the antidote."

After hearing this, Concubine Lan understood.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, "There is no... antidote."

"I say again, bring out the antidote!"

Concubine Lan closed her eyes and remained silent.

Seeing this, Emperor Yuan threw her heavily to the ground, and Concubine Lan was gasping for breath.

"Come here, bring the fifteenth prince up."

Concubine Lan was shocked, "What are you going to do?"

Emperor Yuan glanced at her coldly and didn't answer. A moment later, the nine-year-old fifteenth prince was brought up.

"An Yi." Emperor Yuan shouted into the void.

An Yi came out from some corner in a flash and walked into Concubine Lan's bedroom.

After a while, he took out the box that Concubine Lan had hidden in the secret compartment and handed it to Emperor Yuan.

"water."

Li Fuquan immediately brought a glass of water.

Emperor Yuan opened the box and poured the powder into the water.

"What are you going to do!"

Concubine Lan seemed to have guessed what Emperor Yuan was going to do, so she stood up and rushed over to grab the water.

But An Yi held her down.

Emperor Yuan took the water from Li Fuquan's hand and shook it, and the powder dissolved in the water.

"You poisoned the Queen just by wearing these perfume powders. What do you think would be the effect if she drank them directly?"

Concubine Lan felt that Emperor Yuan was so scary at this moment, like a demon.

Seeing the emperor approaching the fifteenth prince with water, Concubine Lan screamed, "Your Majesty, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. That's your son!"

"I don't lack sons."
