140 The Emperor's Mind

The emperor was not surprised that Mu Peilan would figure out the joints, but said with a little sadness: "This thing was found twelve years ago, but unfortunately, because of Concubine Yue, it was only recently that it could be delivered to you..."

Damn! Bai Fuling is angry. Why did your wife suffer an ugly monster that has been twelve years after her death? If the ghost-faced Gu mother had obtained the ghost-faced Gu mother earlier, my parents' skills would not have been lost more than half!

Even Mu Peilan couldn't help but feel resentful after hearing this, but she looked at the emperor who was sitting in front of her with a majestic and haggard look, and suddenly she stopped getting angry again.

So what if she was an ugly monster for twelve years? After her daughter recovered from her health, she lived a comfortable and happy life every day, far better than when she was the first beauty in the capital.

On the other hand, the emperor has worked hard since he ascended the throne and has been trying hard to deal with the people of the Mao family and Xia family. The women he loves most have left and died in vain in the deep palace. His favorite son is either not around, or is close but dares not show any intimacy. He is always guarding against and calculating everyone around him. What does such a life taste like even if he is the emperor?

People always get satisfaction from comparison, but Mu Peilan doesn't deny it. Compared with the emperor, his psychology is immediately balanced.

The hall quieted down. The emperor didn't know what he thought of, and his expression was a little dazed. After a while, he said, "I guess you can guess some things, if I don't say them, you should continue to stay in the palace these days, and you can also help Yunmei."

With a word from the emperor, all the hopes of Mu Peilan and his daughter were lost. Mu Peilan wanted to speak but stopped, and finally pulled Bai Fuling and left.

After coming out of the side hall, Mu Peilan calmly winked at Eunuch He and took her daughter back to Yilan Palace. She waited for no one around and said with a serious expression: "I will ask you, Aunt Yunmei, to send someone to escort you out of the palace later, and then let your father take you out of the capital immediately, the faster you go, the better!"

Bai Fuling didn't know why her mother was suddenly so nervous, but she guessed that the situation was serious and bit her lip and said, "Where are you, mom?"

"I won't have anything to do. The emperor left me. I really want me to help you, Aunt Yunmei, stabilize the inner palace. There will be a big chaos in the capital. You don't know how to make martial arts. If it's left, if it falls into the hands of someone else, my father and Lu Yingcai will be very passive." Mu Peilan is realistic and speaks without any tactful words. She knows that her daughter is not the kind of shy and a woman who is a mother-in-law. She will make the most rational choice when she explains the truth to her.

Sure enough, Bai Fuling didn't argue and went to set off honestly. From Mu Peilan's expression, Bai Fuling could guess that she had calculated that the emperor had some plans that were not good for them. She was not familiar with the internal affairs and rules of the palace, and three, she didn't know the emperor's intentions at all. Staying in the palace did not help her mother at all, but she was just a burden.

They didn't have much to bring into the palace. They thought they would leave today and they had already packed up. Eunuch He moved quickly. Leslieving less than half a cup of tea, the car sedan that came to pick up Bai Fuling and left was already at the front of the palace gate. Bai Fuling took the little lihua into the car. The person who was holding the car sedan was the eunuch next to Princess Antai, holding the princess seal in her hand, and almost unimpededly arrived at the gate on the west side of the palace.

More than 30 car sedans were parked in front of the door, and the ones above were all the life-long wives who were arranged to leave the palace and return home today. Bai Fuling's car sedans were not conspicuous in it.

The eunuch guarding the Ximen checked Princess Antai's handwriting, checked the list, and immediately nodded and instructed the eunuch to open the palace gate to see him off.

The heavy palace gate was pushed open, and a sudden burst of urgent footsteps came from the far away. A guard shouted: "Let's open the door slowly, the emperor has an order!"

Bai Fuling looked at the palace gate that had just shined with a shiny light and quickly closed it again. She felt very bad in her premonition. What trouble would happen at this time?

Soon eight or nine guards rushed over one after another. Behind them, two little eunuchs worked together to pull a small car sedan and rushed over.

As soon as the curtain of the car and sedan chair was lifted, Eunuch Lei helped the little eunuch beside him and walked down. He glanced around the palace gate and quickly found Bai Fuling in the crowd. A smile appeared on his white and fat face, and walked on two steps: "The emperor has an order, and the Bai girl from Duke Zhongguo's mansion came forward to listen to the order."

He came, and he came to the door! Bai Fuling knew that he could not escape this time, so he had to kneel forward and receive the imperial edict, kneeling down while scolding the uneasy emperor a hundred times.

The imperial edict was very short, and the general meaning was to praise Bai Fuling for being "gentle and gentle, gentle and kind". He was specially appointed as the Lord of Jingling County. From now on, he studied the palace rules and etiquette with Princess Antai in the palace.

Bai Fuling didn't know whether this "gentle and gentle, gentle, kind and kind" was the standard term for enthroning the county lord or the emperor ridiculing her for being a fierce bully. She only knew that the emperor would leave her in the palace and there was absolutely no good thing!

The destiny women who followed the orders together could hear the trick. Bai Fuling's background was not very good. Although her mother was the only daughter of Duke Zhongguo and the princess personally appointed by the late emperor, her father was just an ordinary merchant (few people know about the relationship between Bai Changshan and Bai Chou). The current Duke Zhongguo is just her cousin rather than her brother, and Lu Ying was just a brother. None of her immediate male relatives could do anything.

The rule of this dynasty suddenly rewarded a woman from an ordinary family, for only one reason - to raise her status so that she could marry her to noble children of aristocratic families, officials in the court, or even princes.

According to the emperor's rule and etiquette, he mostly wanted to point her to a prince as the concubine.

The ladies were shocked and puzzled. The second prince was assassinated yesterday. Today, the emperor was still in the mood to be appointed as the county lord. What is this?

Bai Fuling thanked the Holy Grace with depression. Eunuch Lei smiled and helped her up and said, "It's all because of the slow journey of the county magistrate. You are tired of going back and forth for nothing. The family has sent someone to Duke Zhongguo's mansion to report the good news. Please stay in the palace with peace of mind. Come on! Send the county magistrate back to Yilan Palace!"

Bai Fuling really wanted to break down his white and fat old face and throw it into the rice-pounding jar with a big stick and smash it hard. This old eunuch clearly did it on purpose... or in other words, the emperor clearly did it on purpose!

When I met the saint just now, I deliberately said that my mother would stay. Before they could finish their gratitude, they turned around and detained her! Well, now I am under the roof, so I will go back to discuss it with my mother before I can talk.

Bai Fuling simply sat back on her original car sedan and headed towards the deep palace again under the unknown eyes of the women.

The Yilan Palace also received the news that Mu Peilan guarded the palace gate and picked up her daughter. She took her back to the side hall without saying anything. Soon Princess Antai rushed back after hearing the news.

"I'm increasingly confused about the emperor's brother..." Princess Antai looked apologetic.

Mu Peilan didn't look so-called: "You have to bother you for a few more days, so you don't bother us." She knew more about the emperor than Princess Antai, and she also knew a lot about the emperor. She guessed that the emperor would not let others go so easily, but just a try.

Princess Antai and her daughter had lunch with Bai Fuling. Bai Fuling took a nap and took her mother to her bedroom and whispered. At this point, Bai Fuling had to ask her mother to share the information she knew, and Mu Peilan did not hide it anymore. The mother and daughter, like last night, sent off the palace maid and eunuch who served her and whispered in the same bed.

Mu Peilan said: "This morning the emperor mentioned Lu Ying, Yang Heng and Xiao Ni, and I knew that he had already made peace with you, and most likely he would not let you go."

"Can your mother guess the emperor's plan?" Bai Fuling wanted to know the most. Only by knowing the emperor's plan can she think of protecting herself.

"The death of the second prince is just a fuse. What the emperor really wants to do is to completely eradicate the power of the Mao family and the Xia family. Before the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager was not conspicuous among the princes. At that time, the empress dowager was just Shupeng at that time. The empress did not die before she could have children before the late emperor. The concubines with sons in the palace fought fiercely. The empress dowager had a weak personality and was born in a noble family but did not hold real power in the court. The Xia family and the Mao family happened to encounter several major events, which was a turmoil.

On the occasion of the shaking, the two families were sworn brothers with similar surnames and had a deep relationship. Due to various reasons, the two families decided to join forces to support the emperor ascend the throne at all costs. The emperor had originally appointed the candidate for the official concubine by the late emperor, but it had not been officially enthroned, so the daughters of the two families had to marry the emperor as their concubine. Later, the emperor ascended the throne, and the Mao family and the Xia family gained power. As soon as the emperor was about to establish the queen, the queen died of illness..."

"It's a coincidence! The Mao family and Xia family are fighting for the position of queen?" Bai Fuling immediately grabbed the point.

Mu Peilan said calmly: "There are many such coincidences afterwards, but they are just a fool. Some people know that they are cheating, but they can't help but be fooled."

She paused and continued: "The Mao family and Xia family fought. The Mao family held military power, and the Xia family was in charge of the government. None of the two families allowed each other. The Xia family was at a disadvantage. Finally, the empress dowager discussed with the emperor that whoever the two empresses would be the queen. As a result, the daughter of the Xia family became pregnant first, but shortly after the establishment, the child had an accidental miscarriage. However, the son born to Concubine Mao became the eldest son of the emperor. Although the queen became pregnant again later, it was too late, and the most unlucky thing was that the queen gave birth to a stillbirth for the second time!"

Bai Fuling said strangely: "I remember that the second prince is only a year and a half younger than the eldest prince!" The queen is not a Saiyan, and how can she recover so quickly if she has such a serious miscarriage?

Mu Peilan whispered: "The only thing that the queen gave birth to a stillbirth was known to me, the imperial physician who was responsible for taking her pulse, the peaceful woman who delivered her, and the several palace maids who served her, was not even aware of it. These people were all dealt with later. The only ones who knew this secret in the world were the emperor and me, who were responsible for the attack."
