Cool! Tragic death and rebirth, the legitimate daughter abuses the scumbag with great pleasure

The two of them were at loggerheads, the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

The ministers, palace maids and eunuchs, upon seeing the tense atmosphere, were so frightened that they fell silent, like turtles hiding their heads, pretending to be deaf, blind and dumb, and lowered their heads to pretend to be dead.

When two great gods fight, small fry are often in trouble.

Who wants to be a small shrimp who has to die a miserable death? Of course no one wants to, so they can only pretend to be dead.

The emperor smiled kindly and said in a gentle voice, "It was a palace maid who saw with her own eyes that the emperor's brother arrested the minister's daughter Su Xue and brought her into the Purple Palace. If there is any misunderstanding, let Su Xue explain it clearly and let her go! It is wrong to arrest people for no reason!"

"Royal brother, you are confused! Although you are a noble prince, you cannot break the law and act recklessly! You arrested the daughter of a court official at will. This immoral and disrespectful behavior, which also undermines the government, will chill the hearts of many officials!"

Right from the start, he put the blame on Baili Chen, not only pointing out that he had violated the law and ruined his reputation, but also making him anger the court officials, leaving him isolated and helpless, and provoking the ministers' anger, hoping to unite and attack him in order to put him in a desperate situation.

Then we should unite the court officials, fabricate charges against him, and continue to suppress him!

Baili Chen was well aware of Emperor Mingguang's sinister intentions.

"I have never seen this woman, so how can I release her? Moreover, I have never heard of this woman entering the palace today. Could I be mistaken?"

The Queen then spoke up to help, "Royal brother, you don't know, the Queen Mother has not been in good health recently, she always feels stuffy in her chest and can't eat. Su Xue is here today to present the 'magic medicine' from the Poison Doctor Valley!"

"But the Concubine waited and waited, but Su Xue did not come to offer medicine, so she asked someone to look for her. A palace maid reported that you had arrested Su Xue, so she came to look for her."

"Then call the maid to ask her clearly!"

Soon, a little palace maid was brought up. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

The queen said coldly: "Tell everyone what you saw!"

The little maid trembled and said, "I...I saw an hour ago by the pond that His Royal Highness Qin...Prince Qin subdued Miss Su Xue with a single...handed knife, and then...then brought her to the Zichen Palace. I followed him...and then, after seeing all this, I went back to report..."

Baili Chen chuckled after hearing this, "This is completely fabricated and nonsense!"

"First, why did I arrest Su Xue for no reason? I don't even know her. Second, I have never been to the pond today. Third, I need to do it myself to arrest an unarmed official's daughter. Isn't that a waste of talent?"

After hearing this, the queen glared at the little palace maid who made the accusation.

The little palace maid shrank back and her body shook even more violently.

The Queen continued, "Such a living person entered the palace but disappeared. There must be an explanation! We can't just disappear alive and die without a body! In order to give an explanation to the ministers and clear the suspicion of my brother, please allow me to search the Purple Palace thoroughly."

"What if we can't find the person? I am a prince, and I have been framed for no reason. I can't just let it go so easily, right?"

When Emperor Mingguang saw that Baili Chen refused to give in and did not give them any face at all, he felt a little uneasy.

After all, that little palace maid was just a witness they found at random, and what she said was totally untenable. It was obvious that her testimony was completely unconvincing, and was overturned by Baili Chen's few words in just one round.

It was a great shame for him as the emperor.

It is unacceptable for an emperor to trust the words of a little palace maid and search the palace of a prince.

But he was also sure that Su Xue had been taken into the Zichen Palace. This was reported by his secret guards. He had always sent people to keep an eye on every move of the Zichen Palace, and today he accidentally gained this knowledge.

Emperor Mingguang did not dare to expose the fact that he had been sending secret guards to monitor the Zichen Palace. So he found a little palace maid to testify against Baili Chen in order to confirm Baili Chen's guilt.

This is a golden opportunity to suppress Baili Chen, and he doesn't want to let it go easily.

It won’t be so easy to find such an opportunity next time.

Now that the trap has been set up today, Baili Chen cannot be allowed to escape easily.

The two sides are deadlocked.

At this time, the Queen Mother came with a group of concubines and princes.

All the ministers knelt and saluted, even Emperor Mingguang, the Empress and Baili Chen bowed respectfully.

The Queen Mother said kindly, "If someone is missing, we have to find him. But we can't just search the Purple Palace. Let the guards split up and search every palace and hall! It's impossible for such a big person to disappear out of thin air, right?"

At this time, Su Yuting walked out of the crowd, knelt in front of the empress dowager and the emperor, and cried, "Thank you, empress dowager and emperor, for helping me! My little daughter came to the palace early this morning to offer medicine. I wonder if she got lost? Or what happened? She is still missing."

Baili Chen glanced at Su Yuting without saying anything. He still stood at the gate of Zichen Palace, refusing to move an inch.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Mingguang knew that without a reasonable explanation, Baili Chen would not easily allow anyone to search the palace.

He had someone call the commander of the Imperial Guard, Li Junhui, and the deputy commander, Hu Yijian, and ordered, "Divide the personnel into ten teams and search each palace one by one. No place should be left unsearched, and no one can stop us! We must find the person alive or dead!"

The two commanders responded in unison: "We obey your orders!"

Li Junhui led a group of people towards the Zichen Palace.

Baili Chen was unable to stop it at this point, and had no reason to delay.

He believed Su Ci, and Su Ci told him not to worry, so he boldly let the guards go in to search.

Baili Chen stepped aside to make way for the guards to enter, and followed closely behind.

The Empress Dowager, Emperor Mingguang, the Empress, and a group of ministers also followed him into the Purple Palace.

When everyone entered the main hall, they saw Su Ci lying on the desk, writing furiously, looking extremely bitter and miserable.

Emperor Mingguang and the Empress looked at each other, not understanding why Su Ci was here.

Hearing the noise, Su Ci stood up and saluted in a pretentious manner, "Your servant Su Ci greets the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and the Empress!"

"Be flat!"

The Queen Mother still looked kind and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has punished me to copy the "Female Rules" here, saying that I am extremely lacking in palace rules and etiquette. He hopes that I can memorize these things, such as Female Virtues and Female Rules, and abide by the rules and etiquette in the future!"
