The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Qi Zhen would come to Bai Lu's palace every day. People who didn't know the truth said that Cheng Yunge was favored, but Bai Lu was speechless.

She tried hard to recall and found all the materials, but half a month had passed and she still failed. What she made was not even as powerful as fireworks.

Qi Zhen was also becoming more and more impatient.

Qi Zhen arrived at Bailu Palace again, and Cui Luo led him in respectfully.

"Your Majesty, please persuade the queen. She will be exhausted if she stays up all day like this. Didn't the queen say that there are people in her mother's hometown who can make this thing? Then send someone to invite a few locals, maybe it will come faster."

Qi Zhen also thought it made sense.

Half a month has passed and Cheng Yunge has made no progress.

He stepped into the back hall and saw that it was filled with smoke.

"How is it?" Qi Zhen stepped forward.

Bai Lu shook her head. Seeing Qi Zhen's disappointment, she immediately said, "Your Majesty, please give me some more time..."

"Where is your mother's hometown?" Qi Zhen interrupted her and asked directly.

Bai Lu was stunned.

"My mother's hometown...my mother..."

"Why? Is this difficult? Or have you been lying to me?"

"No! Your Majesty, even people from my mother's hometown don't know this secret recipe. It was passed down from my mother's ancestors. After my mother passed away, I am the only one who knows how to make it! Your Majesty, please give me a little more time..."

Qi Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and walked out, "Then I'll give you another half a month."

When they reached the outside of the palace, Qi Zhen stopped and looked at Cui Luo.

"Have you been serving Concubine Yun since she was still in the Prime Minister's Residence?"

"Back to the Emperor, yes."

"Then do you know where her mother is from?"

"Donglien Seoul."

Qi Zhen said nothing and walked away.

Cheng Yunge was still working on developing mines from morning till night. When Cuiluo came in with the food, she heard her mumbling, "What's going on? Why is everything wrong?"

Cuiluo lowered her eyelashes.

That’s right, there are a lot of other things mixed in with these things.

Soon she restrained her expression, replaced it with a worried look, and walked forward with the food: "My queen, please eat first. Your health is very important."

Bai Lu was getting annoyed and frowned, saying, "Get out and don't bother me."

Cuiluo knelt down and bowed, then walked out with the food.

As time went by, Bai Lu became more and more anxious.

If she made the landmine, her position in Northern Qi would be unshakable.

But if she fails to do it, Qi Zhen will probably be disappointed in her.

Just when she was at a loss, Cui Luo came in mysteriously.

She walked closer to Bai Lu and whispered, "Madam, didn't you ask me to look into the emperor's childhood? I found some clues."

Bai Lu's eyes flashed with joy: "Hurry up and tell me!"

If she could find the reason for Qi Zhen's personality change, maybe she could truly get into Qi Zhen's heart.

Relying on what she learned in her world, she defeated Chu Qing and made Qi Zhen treat her differently.

But this is not a solution, as ideas will eventually run out.

If she could get into Qi Zhen's heart, even if she did nothing, Qi Zhen would bring all the good things to her.

Isn't there a saying that goes 'Men conquer the world, women conquer men'? She wants to be such a woman.

Cui Luo lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the emperor and Empress Dowager Huici have always had a good relationship. I don't know why they became enemies overnight."

"Didn't you find out the reason?" Bai Lu frowned.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have heard that all the palace maids who served the Empress Dowager Huici are dead, and there is an old maid who has been locked up in the cold palace. She seems to be crazy. Maybe the old maid knows something, but I can't enter the cold palace..."

Bai Lu said happily: "You can't go in, but I can."

Cui Luo lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.

At night, Bai Lu asked the maid beside her: "Where is Cui Luo? Is she still not well?"

"Sister Cuiluo is still having a fever. Are you looking for Sister Cuiluo?"

Bai Lu frowned and said, "Forget it. You stay outside the palace while I go out for a while."

"Yes."

Bai Lu put on her cloak and hurried out.

She arrived outside the deserted cold palace, and the cold wind made her shiver.

"My queen!"

The old lady guarding the gate spoke, startling her.

"My lady, it's the servant."

Bai Lu calmed herself down. She was a materialist and didn't believe in ghosts or gods.

She took out a golden hairpin from her sleeve pocket and stuffed it into the old maid's pocket, "Help me keep an eye on it."

"Don't worry, Madam. No one comes to this cold palace."

Bai Lu felt relieved and stepped in.

It was even more desolate inside the cold palace. Bai Lu walked carefully. The courtyard of the cold palace was overgrown with weeds and strange noises were heard from time to time.

Suddenly, a black cat jumped out, scaring her so much that her heart beat faster.

She took a deep breath and followed the direction given by the gatekeeper to find the house where the old lady lived.

I finally found the dilapidated house, pushed open the door, and a foul stench mixed with dampness hit me in the face.

In the faint moonlight, she saw a figure huddled in the corner.

"Mammy?" she called softly.

The old lady slowly raised her head, her eyes dull but filled with fear.

The fear was only fleeting, and then replaced by stupidity.

But Bai Lu was convinced that she was not mistaken, and she took three or two steps forward.

"Mammy, Mammy, are you pretending to be stupid?"

The nanny just smiled foolishly.

"What happened between the Emperor and Empress Dowager Huici fifteen years ago?"

"What were they arguing about?"

The nanny still just smiled foolishly and sang an unknown song in a mumbling voice.

Bai Lu frowned. Is this nanny really stupid?

She rolled her eyes and prepared to replay the scene of that day.

Bai Lu stood up, kicked the stool, and imitated Qi Zhen's voice, shouting in pain: "Mother, why did you do this!"

The maid was so frightened that she immediately prostrated herself on the ground, kowtowed and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me! It was my fault that I failed to stop the young prince! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Bai Lu took off her cloak and walked forward slowly

"If you want me to forgive you, that's fine. But what do you think we should do?" Bai Lu said in a low voice, playing the role of Empress Dowager Huici again.

"Your Highness, His Highness didn't mean it. His Highness won't tell anyone! Your Highness, please show mercy! Spare His Highness's life!"

Bai Lu was shocked. Did Empress Dowager Huici ever want to kill Qi Zhen?

Bai Lu's heart was pounding, she felt that she was about to learn the truth. She instinctively knew that this was a huge secret.
