Chapter 988: Turning Danger into Safety

Someone came from the prince's mansion outside the door, and the old emperor announced it to the palace. As the man walked towards the hall, he fell to his knees again. Yu Mengmeng's palms were wet, and he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat. She felt as if she had gone back to the time when she had taken the exam, knowing that she would do well. But before the results were revealed, my heart was pounding with nervousness.

It's as if the breath is about to condense.

Those who came were already prostrating themselves and prostrating. Then, he held up a letter and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, your subordinates will present this envelope to the emperor at noon according to the prince's instructions." ”

"Bring it in." The old emperor was in a solemn and silent silence, his voice was like a bell, and it had a deafening effect, which shocked everyone who listened to his voice.

The eunuch standing beside him stepped down and took the envelope held by the guards in the prince's mansion, and then respectfully presented it to the old emperor.

The old emperor took the letter, opened it, and opened it to look at it, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became. The crowd below, looking at the changes in Long Yanzhi above, couldn't help but tighten their hearts.

Some people also looked at Yu Mengmeng, who was embarrassed, but his expression became more and more calm. There are those who admire, and there are still those who despise.

When the old emperor read the letter left by Bai Yunzhen, the atmosphere in the hall was very tense. Some people were even overwhelmed and sweated from their official hats.

And Yu Mengmeng always stood with her back straight. There was no other reaction, and it seemed that everything was already in place.

But Bai Mu and Bai Shu were extremely nervous. The two looked at Yu Mengmeng for a while, and then at the old emperor.

However, Bai He and Duyue, who came early in the morning, stood in front of the court with no sense of existence, both with solemn expressions.

This is especially true of white cranes.

When the eunuch came to report the news of his second brother's death, the queen mother fainted on the spot, and now she is still lying in bed and has not woken up.

His own brother is gone, and Bai He's heart is naturally very sad. It's just that he has been in the Daomen since he was a child, and he has developed a temperament that is invisible. Furthermore, their master always said that if sex is easy to change, it is not good for cultivation.

But in his heart, it was boring. Uncomfortable.

More often than not, I don't know how to face it.

Duyue knew that he had lost his brother and was in a bad mood, so he also quietly accompanied him without saying a word.

It has not been a full day since last night, and things have taken such a sharp turn. Although Yu Mengmeng was carrying Su Xuelian on his back, he said ruthlessly that he wanted Bai Yunzhen to repay him a pair of eyes.

But in Duyue's opinion, Yu Mengmeng is not such a ruthless person. Therefore, he completely believed what Yu Mengmeng said.

Moreover, the prince showed mercy to Yu Mengmeng's subordinates, and Yu Mengmeng was the same. Come to think of it, if they hadn't been on the opposite side from the beginning, they wouldn't have come to such a point.

Finally, the old emperor finished reading Bai Yunzhen's letter. His knuckles tightened, and he looked down at Yu Mengmeng with a majestic expression.

What he was holding in his hand was a letter from the prince himself, and there was no possibility that it could be forged.

It even said that no matter what happened to him Bai Yunzhen, it was his wishful thinking and had nothing to do with anyone.

In the eyes of the old emperor, this is already an excuse for Yu Mengmeng.

He also said in the letter: Regarding the cause of his death, I believe that Yu Mengmeng will tell the truth. If she didn't say the reason, it was for herself, and she begged her father not to ask her hard.

In addition, what is repeated at the end is nothing more than giving his own things to Yu Mengmeng and the like.

The old emperor's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Yu Mengmeng, and felt more and more that this woman was really unfathomable. In just a few months, he made his most proud son willing to die for her.

Looking at the look of the old seven, it seems to be a deep-rooted person for a long time.

I heard that the people along the street called her a demon girl, but now it seems that this woman who is not good-looking may not be.

Silently putting the letter back into the envelope, the old emperor turned straight and said: "I have found out that the matter of the prince is that the prince incurred such a consequence in order to save the county lord of the country, and it has nothing to do with the county lord of joy. ”

These words are equivalent to directly giving instructions on how to deal with Yu Mengmeng. Since the emperor already has such an attitude, what can the courtiers do? I had to kneel down and say long live.

Even if he is unwilling, he is helpless. And the officials in charge of the wedding and funeral have already begun to deal with the prince's funeral. Even the corpses have been carried out.

After all the courtiers dispersed, the old emperor sitting at the top did not move. And Yu Mengmeng also stayed tacitly, Bai He, Bai Mu, Bai Shu, Duyue and others also stayed in the main hall together, all of them stood like jade trees, and looked at them without saying a word.

And the existence of the other Yu Xi can only be detected by Yu Mengmeng.

The old emperor turned his head to the side, and the old eunuch who had been with him every day suddenly understood, and led the eunuchs and palace maids who accompanied the old emperor to the left and right, and at the same time slipped out from the east and west side doors.

When the inside was clean, the old emperor looked at Bai Mu and said, "Old Seven, how are you doing in Chengguo for so many years?" ”

The old emperor had already asked this at the beginning of Bai Mu's return. But the tone at that time was not as serious as it is now.

At this time, the old emperor, when he spoke to Bai Mu, revealed a little bit of his father's worry about his son who had been wandering for a long time.

Yu Mengmeng couldn't help but turn his head when he heard this, and looked at Bai Mu. Although Bai Mu never said it explicitly, she knew that Bai Mu hated this father in her heart.

She looked at it, and her eyes couldn't help but show a little worry.

Bai Mu didn't say anything, it wasn't like the day he first returned to Qi State, and he still had the heart to deal with the old emperor and say a few polite words on the scene. At this moment, he didn't even have the mood to cope.

Bai Mu didn't say anything, and the old emperor didn't speak, but just said to himself: "I heard that your aunt has passed away a year ago?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Mu raised his head angrily, his eyes revealing naked hatred.

Yu Mengmeng remembered that the old emperor said that Bai Mu's aunt was the wife of a prince of Chengguo.

At that time, Bai Mu didn't wait to control his body, presumably, it was a thousand faces who did it.

Recalling what Bai Yunzhen told himself before he died, Yu Mengmeng finally understood the cause and effect.

After she understood it in her heart, she immediately looked at the old emperor and thought, could it be that this old emperor has something to say?

Before she could think about it, Bai Mu spoke. The tone is very bad, and there is a rare sense of indifference from a person with a gentle temperament like him. As far as Yu Mengmeng heard, she thought that even if she provoked Bai Mu, he would never be angry.

He said, "Didn't my father already know? Why bother? ”
