Soon a guard ran over and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Imperial Concubine!"

Emperor Wu Xuan frowned, "Wanru?"

Xu Wanru walked in surrounded by a group of guards. The accompanying maid held a cup of soup in her hand, which was steaming with heat. The beauty smiled like a flower, "Your Majesty, I have prepared chicken soup for you with my own hands. The gravel road outside the door is slippery.

You almost fell down, why are you still angry with me?"

Emperor Wu Xuan looked at her for a while, and his tense nerves relaxed a little, "Put down the soup. Come and rub it for me. I have a terrible headache."

"yes."

Xu Wanru walked behind him with a smile, and all the guards retreated. Where Emperor Wu Xuan could not see her, her fingers were trembling slightly, and there was a hint of tremor in her eyes.

As she often served the emperor, she had naturally seen a lot of blood. Today her spies came to report that the emperor had a big fire in the imperial study. She was confused, so she quietly came over to take a look, but she didn't expect to hear something like this.

Shocking news!

Fortunately, years of living in the palace have trained her to have a face that is calm at all times. She can guarantee that if she shows any signs of strangeness, the emperor will probably kill her immediately.

Now she couldn't stay away. A few years ago, after Bai Xianyu, who was still just a hairpin, came to her and rescued her and her child, Xu Wanru made up her mind to advance and retreat with the Bai family.

Her mother's family was all exiled. If Bai Xianyu's brother Bai Jingyuan hadn't secretly sent someone to protect them, they would have died in exile, and the female family members would not have known what tragic end they had.

Bai Xianyu has been kind to the Xu family, and she will spread the news even if she dies!

The Empress Dowager left the imperial study and returned to her own palace. The doors and windows were closed tightly, and a bone-chilling coldness clung to her skin. Her nun, who was close to her, carefully held her hand and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

Will Your Majesty hold grudge against you if you speak to His Majesty like this? This world is still His Majesty’s world after all. If he has other thoughts..."

"Bold!" The white-haired old man stopped, "Are you trying to sow discord between the Ai family and His Majesty?"

"I don't dare!" Grandma knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "I just think about my queen..."

"Your Majesty will definitely not attack your Majesty, but the people around Your Majesty are mixed. If you listen to the slander in a moment of confusion... wouldn't it be dangerous for Your Majesty to hold that thing in your hand so blatantly?"

The Empress Dowager looked at this loyal servant who had been following her for decades, paused for a moment, then suddenly sat on the chair and smiled, and waved to her grandma.

Grandma didn't understand what it meant, so she stood up carefully and put her ear over it.

"Do you really think that the Ai family is that stupid?" The Empress Dowager's voice was vicissitudes of life, with a hint of cunning. "What the emperor saw was just a lie."

Grandma covered her mouth in shock, "Fake..."

"The imperial edict naturally exists, and it is no different from what the Ai family showed him. However, it is a forgery, copied bit by bit according to the real imperial edict."

There has been no so-called family affection in the royal family since ancient times. Her repeated emphasis on affection was just to give the emperor a step forward and let him do things in his own way.

After all, if you push too hard, a rabbit will bite you, let alone an emperor.

She knew that the emperor was suspicious and would send someone to investigate thoroughly if he saw something that was suspected to be the late emperor's edict. She had dealt with most of the people who knew the secret back then, except for one person. She kept him just for today.

Sure enough, the emperor accepted this fact.

"Your Majesty, where is the real edict? Is it safe? In recent days, the marks made by the slaves in the palace have been destroyed more and more frequently."

The emperor couldn't sit still anymore. The place where she lived and the places she frequented must have been turned upside down long ago.

The Empress Dowager didn't look worried. She smiled slightly and said, "It's naturally safe. He will never find it."

If he can't be found, it means that he will be controlled by the Yang family for the rest of his life.

If he kills her, the Yang family will find the edict and make the truth known to the public!

Now the people who support Da Kui and stand at the pinnacle of power are only the Xie family and the Bai family. If the emperor does not miss his old relationship and falls out with the Yang family, then he will never be able to sit in the emperor's position safely again.

superior.

The Empress Dowager touched the armor. Did the Emperor really think that no one knew about the things he did to Jing'an and Jing'an's husband? Or was it that he had been playing the role of his beloved brother for so long that he had already forgotten the blood debt in his hands?

If Jing'an and Xie Xingyun knew that their husband and father died at the hands of the emperor, would he still be able to gain the loyalty of the Xie family?

After all, the emperor was not clean.

Even if that time comes, the Yang family will not be afraid of force to expose all this, and their reputation will be passed down through the ages... Only the Bai family is troublesome. General Bai has a very good relationship with the late emperor, and the son of the Bai family is supported by the emperor. I am afraid that he will stand on the side of the emperor.

On the emperor's side.

But there is no need to panic.

Is it possible that the Xie family and the Yang family can't suppress the Bai family even if they join forces? In these troubled times, can the emperor bear the anger of Nanzhao King after losing his son?

If he wants to fight to the death, he has to see if he has the ability.

The Empress Dowager smiled and did not express these considerations. Although a loyal servant was loyal, he was only a servant. She did not trust anyone except herself.

…

Bai Xianyu finished the painting early, and Mo Yu waited until Nanny Jiang left before quickly reporting to her.

"When Aunt Jiang took Youlan for a walk last night, my subordinates followed your arrangement and asked Dr. Sun to meet them on the road. Now that Dr. Sun has taken over Youlan's treatment, I would like to ask the Imperial Master anything in the future.

More convenient.”

"Okay, I understand. Thank you Doctor Sun for me." Bai Xianyu rolled the painting in his sleeve, then shook it and opened the door with a branch like yesterday.

Because he had already greeted Dr. Sun, he went to give Youlan some sedative medicine early in the morning, and now Youlan was lying on the bed to rest.

"Alan." Bai Xianyu climbed through the window and walked to her bedside with a smile, "What is this?"

Youlan looked particularly quiet, like a naughty child who suddenly became well-behaved, staring at her with thick eyebrows and big eyes, "Roast chicken!"

"Correct answer!"

"Daddy is so kind! Bringing such a big roast chicken to Alan!" In Youlan's heart, Bai Xianyu's status was a little higher. When she smiled, she was completely like a normal girl, but her tone was a little childish, "It's better than

The roast chicken Aunt Jiang brought to Alan was much bigger!"

Bai Xianyu smiled and found a clean place to sit down. Seeing Youlan eating so deliciously, she waited patiently for a while. When Youlan was almost done eating, she asked with a smile, "Alan, have you eaten enough?"

Can you answer a question for me?"

"good!"

"Have Alan seen this flower?" She unfolded the picture scroll she had prepared long ago, and the two pearls were swaying in the rain, vividly, and the crystal clear water droplets seemed to seep through the picture scroll and fall on her fingertips.

With the preparation made last time and taking Dr. Sun's medicine, Youlan's condition was relatively stable. As if she had a premonition of something, she slowly raised her head, as if in slow motion. When her eyes fell on the painting in the young man's hand, she

His eyeballs still shrank uncontrollably, and his hands began to tremble.

Bai Xianyu held her hand in time and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, Alan can say whatever he thinks of and I will protect you."

Youlan swallowed her saliva and pronounced unclearly, "There is..." on the flower.

"What's on the flower?"

"There is blood." She cried, "Daddy, there is so much blood!"

Bai Xianyu hugged her, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a soft voice, "What else did Alan see besides the blood?"

Youlan trembled in her arms and said incoherently: "It's so cold, mother's hands are so cold."

Bai Xianyu saw that she was getting excited, so he stopped talking and carefully analyzed the words that came out of Youlan's mouth.

"Dad..." Youlan trembled, breaking out into a cold sweat in the midsummer day, "They buried Alan in the soil, Alan, Alan grew up with him."

Bai Xianyu's eyes moved to the painting in shock. Could it be that Youlan was also poisoned that day?

How old was she at that time, and how did she survive?

"Daddy, Alan misses his mother. Can you take Alan to see her mother?" Youlan suddenly pulled her sleeve, her eyes full of longing, "Okay, daddy?"

Bai Xianyu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't bear to lie to her, "My mother is no longer here. When I take you out, I will build your mother's tomb, okay?"

Youlan couldn't understand what she said, so she only shook her sleeves. When it came to her mother, she seemed to have forgotten all the things she was afraid of. She blinked, and there was still residual fear in her eyes, "But, mother

It’s right here.”

Bai Xianyu suddenly had goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't help but touch her arm, "Where?"

"Aunt Jiang took Alan there yesterday. Daddy is so stupid that he can't remember the way!" Youlan laughed happily, "Daddy is following Alan!"

Bai Xianyu frowned, Alan's mother must be gone, so what did she mean when she said her mother was here?

Could it be a cemetery?

People will also die in the imperial tomb, and slaves will be buried together in one place after death. They were slaves in life, but they will stay in the imperial tomb after death, serving the nobles underground.

She had heard of such a land, but it was not on the map Xie Xingyun gave her, so she didn't know where it was.

However, Xie Xingyun's map is so detailed, how come there is only one missing cemetery?

Do you think the servant's grave can't be put on the table and there is no need to encircle it, or is there something special about that place?

Bai Xianyu felt that this matter was vaguely weird, so he immediately decided to go take a look with Youlan, "Okay, Alan, please take me to see your mother."

Youlan jumped up excitedly, "Okay, okay!"

In the dark, Bai Xianyu and Mo Yu exchanged glances, and the latter nodded and quickly made arrangements.

Mo Yu should also know where Mother Youlan's grave is, so he asked him to find a way to clear out all the people on the road in advance. Mo Yu should also have great rights here, as the number one of "Su Qingbai"

Many of his subordinates directly obeyed his orders.

By the time Mo Yu signaled to Bai Xianyu, more than half an hour had passed. Aunt Jiang was sent to work and would not be back until night, so they had plenty of time.
