The first meeting with the queen was over in a strange and awkward atmosphere.

After coming out of the Queen's Ningyi Palace, Mu Peilan's face looked very ugly. She also understood the meaning of Princess Antai's words, and was extremely angry at the idea that someone dared to hit her daughter.

Returning to Yilan Palace, Princess Antai rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Looking at my memory, Bai Changshan Baige came to the palace a few days ago to meet the emperor's brother and said that my brother-in-law was his eldest son who had been separated for many years, Sister Perlan, but is there such a thing?"

Mu Peilan was stunned and suddenly realized, and said angrily: "No wonder they were so anxious... OK! What a queen from a scholarly family who actually used such despicable means to plot against my daughter!"

Princess Antai smiled bitterly and said, "Then this is true? Ling'er should be careful these days. Maybe Concubine Mao would do something later. If I had no one, Ling'er should not leave Yilan Palace half a step away. I want to see how shameless they are!"

Bai Fuling had no objection to this, but she had a little more resentment towards the grandfather Bai Changshan whom she had never recognized each other.

Since she arrived in the capital, she has been subject to various restrictions on her actions, and now she has to be "in jail". This place is not as authentic as the Duke's Mansion, which makes it convenient for her to go out secretly. The only people around her are Princess Antai and her mother. She is so depressed!

The queen watched Princess Antai and the other three leave, and was also depressed. She sent the twelve princesses and said to the second prince: "I have said this long ago that it is not that simple. If that girl had succeeded so easily, the family surnamed Mao would have taken action long ago."

The second prince snorted softly, "Why did you know that the eldest and the others did not take action. First, I asked my father for an order to make the little beauty a concubine. Moreover, I have heard recently that the eldest brother had lost a group of masters a few days ago, and he would not see anyone but die. It seemed to be related to the Bai couple of Duke Zhongguo's mansion."

When the queen heard this, her face changed and said, "What are you going to do now? Since Princess Antai has already been warned, it may not be easy for you to get close to that girl. Your father suddenly brought them into the palace for some reason, and it is probably because he wanted to send Lu Ying to do something. He has endured so many years and has been doing frequent moves recently, so he is afraid he can't stand it and wants to attack us. Unexpectedly, our Xia family and the Mao family have been fighting for so many years, but in the end they end up like this..."

They slowly figured out the emperor's intentions, but whether it was the Xia family or the Mao family, they chose to make a desperate bet, looking for an opportunity to usurp the throne and seize power, and destroy the other party in one fell swoop, rather than cooperate with the other party.

At this point, the emperor's methods of separation and division have been completely successful.

The second prince gritted his teeth and said, "Only by pulling the Bai family over now, we will be sure to win! The old dog in Bai Changshan finally showed his weakness. If he doesn't take action at this time, it will probably be too late. There are still a few days left to be the birthday of the mother queen. At that time, the palace will hold a celebration for the mother queen. Princess Antai and the Bai family must also attend. There are many foreign women who want to enter the palace to celebrate. They should be able to find an opportunity to transfer the others away from the little beauty."

Just as the queen and her son were discussing how to get Bai Fuling, Concubine Mao heard someone report what happened in Ningyi Palace and was gloating: "The bitch named Xia must have a very good look. Unfortunately, I didn't see it with my own eyes, hahaha!"

The eldest prince beside her couldn't laugh. He had originally wanted his mother to create opportunities for him to kiss the beautiful woman. Now it seems that Princess Antai was prepared for it, and this move would not work.

Seeing his son like this, Concubine Mao smiled coldly and said, "Why don't a real man have no wife? It's just a yellow-haired girl. It's still unknown whether this old guy Bai Changshan really will cooperate with others for her. Instead of thinking about this, it's better to think about how to deal with the second child and the others. I don't believe that you are the only son left. Can your father pass the throne to outsiders?!"

The eldest prince did not expect that his mother would have such ruthless thoughts, but then he thought it made sense. The second brothers' backers were just a group of civil servants who were not as good as ever, and the other brothers had shallow foundations. As long as he dealt with all his brothers, the father would have to surrender in the end.

Not to mention those civil officials, don’t they like to talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism the most? He became the legitimate prince and emperor of Qi. Will they still insist on being loyal to the second son? In the end, they must obey him. When his big thing is done, the little beauty is still different from him?

He thought that Bai Fuling, who had only heard of the name but had not seen him, suddenly felt very itchy. The woman who was unable to get in every way would one day become his private favor.

Princess Antai rushed back to the capital this morning and was taken into the palace. She had never rested. She returned to Yilan Palace and explained a few words to Mu Peilan before going back to the bedroom.

Mu Peilan took Bai Fuling to the side hall where they temporarily lived. Seeing that there was no one around, Bai Fuling pulled her and asked in a low voice: "Mom, there is no such thing in this palace that can eavesdrop on people's conversations in the house, right?"

Mu Peilan smiled and said, "Of course there is no such thing as in the palace, so you can rest assured."

"Well, please tell me what happened to you in the past?"

"In the past... Ling'er wanted to know what?"

"Mom is a lady from Duke Zhongguo's Mansion. How could she be the sixth head of the Qingyiwei? I have been back in the capital for so long, but I haven't seen her contact with the Qingyiwei people. Why? Who did you learn how to learn about my mother's kung fu? How do you know my father? Who used the ghost face Gu to harm you? Well... there are many more, let me start from scratch." Bai Fuling once told the questions in her belly.

In fact, she also wanted to ask whether the emperor and his mother had any other thoughts about her mother besides cousins? Otherwise, the father would not be jealous for no reason. His mother said that the emperor had another lover, who was that person? Of course, this belongs to the category of pure gossip.

Mu Peilan smiled and said, "You never ask. My mother thought you didn't care. Why did there suddenly have so many problems?"

"In the past, these things were all things that were gone in Beiguan City. It doesn't matter whether you know them or not. Maybe you will make trouble if you know them. Now if I don't know these things, there may be problems when dealing with certain people and certain things." Bai Fuling said helplessly.

Mu Peilan looked at her daughter for a while and said, "Okay, there is nothing to do in this palace, so I will tell you one by one."

The story starts with Mu Peilan's father, the previous Duke Zhongguo. This Duke was originally from the royal blood of the Yang family, the illegitimate son of Prince Lu, the uncle of the late emperor, and was a cousin with the late emperor.

Before he was born, Prince Lu had already died in battle. None of the wives and concubines in Prince Lu's family were Yiyou, so he entrusted their mother and son to his good friend Duke Jingguo, and later became Duke Jingguo's second son.

Duke Jingguo regarded him as his own, and no one in the Duke Jingguo's mansion knew his true identity, and only thought that he was born in the outer room.

Duke Zhongguo was very smart since he was a child and learned everything very quickly. Later, he became a companion to the late emperor. The late emperor knew his life experience and had a very close relationship with him, so he even let him take charge of the Qingyiwei.

Unfortunately, this Duke Zhongguo died young like his father. When Mu Peilan was very young, he died in the line of duty to save the current emperor, leaving behind a coveted title and a pair of orphans and widows.

Mu Peilan's mother, Su, was very strong-willed. When she was young, she was a member of the Qingyiwei. She insisted on protecting her husband's title and secretly invited famous teachers to teach her daughter. She wanted her daughter to inherit her husband's will and become the head of the Qingyiwei. She wanted her daughter to become the best daughter of a famous family in the capital.

For this reason, Mu Peilan's childhood was very hard, but she did not let her mother down and finally became the sixth leader of the Qingyiwei as a woman. Therefore, she formed a deep friendship with the current emperor and Princess Antai.

Once, the Qingyiwei was ordered to investigate a Beijing official who was suspected of colluding with the enemy and stolen the country. However, the official was first silenced by Bai Chou, a killer from Qiufeng Pavilion, and the investigation had to be interrupted.

Mu Peilan was very angry and secretly began to investigate Qiufeng Pavilion, and found that behind it was Prince Yao, the third prince of the late emperor!

She fought with Bai Chou many times, but she was at a disadvantage again and again. She never lost so completely when she grew up. She was aroused by arrogance and was entangled with Qiufeng Pavilion.

Then there is an old story about not getting along without fighting, and the enemy becomes a lover. Bai Chou wanted to leave Qiufeng Pavilion for Mu Peilan, and of course the old master of Qiufeng Pavilion did not want Bai Chou to leave, and the Qingyiwei also refused to let anyone go.

The Qingyiwei belongs to the emperor himself and knows too much royal secrets, especially the six heads of the Prime Minister's intelligence collection. Originally, the emperor planned to make Mu Peilan a concubine at the right time, so it was just the best of both worlds. The emperor and Mu Peilan were more than ten years apart. He always maintained this beautiful cousin as his biological sister, but he couldn't help but feel ambiguous feelings that were inexplicably elusive.

Even when Mu Peilan was young, she vaguely regarded the emperor as the object of admiration. Only after she met Bai Chou did she know what the true love between men and women was.

Mu Peilan's mother, Su, was not happy to see her daughter marry into the royal family, but she was even more reluctant to marry the infamous killer of the world. She followed the instructions of the Qingyiwei's boss at that time, called her daughter in front of her, and gave her three choices, one was to break up with Bai Chou and never meet again; the second was to drink poisoned wine and die to show loyalty to the royal family; the third was to take the ghost-faced Gu, sack most of her martial arts, and destroy her appearance. From then on, she had nothing to do with the Qingyiwei and the Duke Zhongguo Mansion, and it didn't matter who she wanted to be with!

When Bai Fuling heard this, her eyebrows stood up and she shouted, "What?! The ghost-faced Gu was actually the grandmother who was treating you?! It was too much! Did she treat you as her daughter? No wonder Dad was so reluctant to contact her before!"

Mu Peilan reached out to touch her angry face and sighed: "I also blamed my mother for being cruel, but if this was not the case, I would have a way out. Originally, she had the antidote to the ghost-faced Gu in her hand, but later when she wanted to remove the poison for me, she realized that the antidote was fake. For this reason, she had been very sad for years. Ling'er, promised her mother not to blame your grandmother, okay?"

"Not good!" Bai Fuling protested with a flat mouth. (To be continued)
