When Queen Lin heard that her son had arrived, she quickly asked someone to invite him in.

Unexpectedly, after Baili Heng came in, he knelt down in front of Queen Lin with a plop.

This shocked Queen Lin and made her feel distressed. She quickly asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

Baili Heng cried, "Mother, the palace was rushed into by men in black last night, killing dozens of people and burning most of the palace. The treasures in the palace's storehouse were also looted. Now, the palace is penniless. Please help me, mother!"

When Queen Lin heard this, she was so shocked that she was stunned.

I was so scared that I collapsed on the chair.

It took me a while to recover.

Could this matter have anything to do with Old Madam Su's matter?

如果

If it really has something to do with Old Madam Su.

Then this must be the revenge of Prince Heng’s Mansion.

Thinking of this, she was so scared that she couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

It shouldn’t be possible. It’s impossible for the daughter of Prince Heng to discover the clues so quickly.

She was not familiar with the capital at all.

It's impossible to know the existence of Su Yulou's family so quickly.

It is even more impossible to know Su Yulou’s true identity.

After thinking about it carefully, she felt that she was completely overthinking it.

You are scaring yourself.

She still has time to make amends, as her mother and second brother will be coming to Beijing soon.

Everything is still in time.

As long as we find a way to deal with Su Yulou's family before that.

There was no way that thing would come to light.

Queen Lin comforted herself in this way.

Thinking of this, her mind calmed down and she was no longer as panicked as before.

She became the queen who was high above everyone else, dignified and elegant.

Baili Heng saw that his mother's face, which had been a little bad just now, suddenly became calm again.

I don't understand why.

"He asked, "Mother, all the property in the Prince of Yan's mansion is now lost. Although I have reported it to the government, I don't know when I can get the property back."

"If those properties cannot be recovered, all expenses in the mansion will become a problem in the future. You must help me speak well of them in front of the emperor!"

"A few days ago, I asked my father to grant me and Shangguan Wuyou a marriage, but he not only did not agree, he was furious and confined me to my house, not allowing me to go out. I had no choice but to sneak into the palace today."

"Mother, why do you think father doesn't agree to grant me marriage? My brother Baili Feng already has both a principal wife and a concubine, but he only granted me a concubine. My principal wife position is clearly vacant, so why can't I marry Shangguan Wuyou?"

Queen Lin sighed, "I have figured it out these past two days. Your father doesn't want you to marry into the Prince Heng's Mansion because he probably doesn't want you to have too many backers. He probably values ​​Baili Feng more, so he left the best things to him."

"Your father has always been partial to Baili Feng. You should have realized this a long time ago."

"My thirty years of hard work have been in vain, but I can't win over that vixen Concubine Qin who pleases him more."

"Over the years, I have loved Wu and Wu, and I have also valued the son of that vixen more."

"You can follow Baili Feng's example and secretly plot to rob Shangguan Wuyou of his innocence. By then, it will be a done deal, and your father will be powerless to object!"

"Does he dare to kill Shangguan Wuyou or make her become a nun? Prince Heng's Mansion will definitely not agree. Your father is still counting on Prince Heng's Mansion to help him guard the border, so he won't offend them."

After listening to this, Baili Heng's eyes lit up and the door to a new world suddenly opened.

Yes! It can be done.

Let’s see how my father will object then.

Maybe, he will have to go with the flow, and then he can smoothly marry Baili Wuyou as his principal wife.

right! Just do it!

As expected, my mother has more ideas and understands my father's concerns better.

There was a calculating gleam in the eyes of both mother and son.

Then, Queen Lin asked Baili Heng to go to the Imperial Study to ask for an audience with Emperor Mingguang. "When you see your father, just keep crying and be miserable. After all, you are his son. He can't just watch you die without helping you, let alone sit back and do nothing. Anyway, just cry as hard as you can."

After receiving guidance from his mother, Baili Heng went to seek an audience with Emperor Mingguang.

Emperor Mingguang was about to fly into a rage when he heard that his son was put in confinement, but then he remembered that the official had just reported that the Prince of Yan's mansion was attacked by men in black last night, more than half of the mansion was burned, and all the property in the mansion was lost.

Suddenly, most of the anger disappeared.

He ordered the eunuch, "Call him in!"

When Baili Heng saw Emperor Mingguang, he fell to his knees and cried, recounting the dangerous events of the previous night in an exaggerated manner.

"Father, there is no food or daily supplies in the palace now, and the servants have no monthly salary."

Although Emperor Mingguang did not value his son very much, he could not just watch his son being killed by the man in black.

I was still somewhat moved and worried inside.

Moreover, the men in black have been too rampant recently, to the point where they are omnipresent.

They can break into the imperial palace and the prince's mansion at will. They are so bold and have no respect for the law.

In a fit of rage this morning, he beat the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with twenty strokes of the cane each, and also gave a severe scolding to the Prefect of Jingzhao, Wang Hexing.

These men in black continued to stir up trouble in the capital, committing murder, arson, and stealing property without any scruples.

He didn't take the imperial court seriously at all, let alone the emperor.

It's really abominable!

Terrible!

He felt more and more depressed, and his insomnia became more and more serious. He even couldn't fall asleep for several nights in a row.

If this continues, his body will definitely not be able to bear it.

However, as soon as he lay down on the bed, he could not sleep well when he thought about the men in black running rampant in the palace and doing whatever they wanted in the capital.

I was really worried that after he fell asleep, his head would be taken off at any time, and he would not be able to wake up again.

Recently, Emperor Mingguang has added a lot of people to the defense of the palace, and the number of the imperial guards has also increased a lot.

The number of guards increased from 3,000 to 5,000, but he still felt his safety was threatened.

I would finally fall asleep for a short while at night, but would be woken up by nightmares.

Make him miserable.

He even felt that the Great Zhou Dynasty was becoming increasingly out of control.

Emperor Mingguang was somewhat depressed, and said calmly: "Stand up!"

He frowned, then added, "I'll give you two hundred guards. If the men in black come again, you can catch them all in one fell swoop."

After thinking about it, he realized that the Queen's private treasury had also been emptied, so he said generously, "I'll give you another 100,000 taels of silver. Your farm and shop should have quite a bit of income, so you can figure out the rest yourself!"
