In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 606 Pei Huizhou was slapped twice"So I have to protect him...ah."
......
In the evening, Pei Huizhou was called into the imperial study again.
This time, the emperor called him in on the pretext of handling official business at the Dali Temple.
As soon as he was called in, the emperor scolded him harshly: "When the crown prince and Bai Lu were here before, I gave you some face and didn't expose you! Now I want to ask you! Why did you insist on plotting against the crown prince's mother's family?!"
Hearing this, Pei Huizhou was shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor had already seen through it.
He immediately knelt down and said no more.
The emperor was very angry when he saw him kneeling on the ground. He wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet and curse at Pei Huizhou!
"Do you think I'm so stupid to listen to your sweet talk?! Do I really think you like Bai Lu?!"
"With your personality, if you really liked Bai Lu, you would have taken her into your house long ago! Even if you didn't take her into your house, you would never hide it, but tell the whole world that you like Bai Lu! How could you hide your feelings?!"
"...You are such an ambitious person, you are almost drooling over the position of the crown prince. Do you think I don't understand you?! Huh?!"
"I didn't expose you before only because I spoiled you and felt guilty about you. I have always treated you as my own son, no different from the Crown Prince and the others! So just treat it as a small quarrel between brothers!"
"But! You actually killed a general!"
"Even if...he is willing to die for you, you shouldn't kill him!"
"How can he die?! He has been loyal to the country for so many years. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. How can you let him die?"
As the emperor said this, he went up and slapped Pei Huizhou hard twice.
Pei Huizhou's face swelled up instantly, his eyes were full of hostility, and he said nothing.
The emperor continued to scold: "No matter who you plot against... you should never plot against Bai Lu!"
"I feel guilty towards you, and I also feel guilty towards Bai Lu."
"I feel guilty towards both of you, it's the same..."
"I can let it go for now, but if you abuse your power again next time and harm Bai Lu again, I will kill you!"
Pei Huizhou was scolded and then left.
The emperor looked at his back and felt extremely sad.
That night, there was constant movement in the imperial study.
It is said that the emperor called the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau to examine him in the middle of the night, saying that the affairs of the Dali Temple were too complicated. The emperor had been reviewing memorials, but he had not finished reviewing them until midnight and even vomited blood.
The next morning, when Bai Lu received the news in the Empress Dowager's palace, the Empress Dowager urged Bai Lu to go and take the Emperor's pulse.
The Queen Mother advised Bai Lu earnestly: "Look, the Emperor didn't sleep all night, you didn't sleep all night, and the Crown Prince... didn't sleep all night either. I don't know what happened to the three of you, you suddenly acted like possessed."
"......Alas. You don't care about the child, and you don't care about me. You just want to investigate General Shi's affairs."
"Ah. To be honest, regarding General Shi's matter, since His Majesty has said so, then this matter... I guess it will just be over!"
"The emperor just doesn't want to continue investigating. You can just blame all of this on General Shi. General Shi is the mastermind behind this."
At this point, Bai Lu turned her head to look at the Queen Mother, and slowly said to her: "Queen Mother, do you believe what I say?"
The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, and she nodded and said, "Of course I believe you. I have known you for a long time, so how could I not believe you?"
"That... Pei Huizhou, he harmed me and our Bai family. Do you believe this?"
"I believe it." The Queen Mother nodded. "I believe whatever you say."
"Then why doesn't Your Majesty believe it?"
The Queen Mother said, "If the Emperor doesn't believe it... that's his business. He has always been a confused person. Don't you know that?"
Bai Lu shook her head and said to the Queen Mother after thinking for a while: "Whether he believes it or not now, we must find evidence."
"After finding the evidence, he has to believe it even if he doesn't want to."
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and she smiled at Bai Lu again: "...Come, let's eat first and don't worry about those things."
"Look at you, there are so many bubbles on your little mouth. I feel so sorry for you..."
Before I could finish my words, I heard a voice coming from outside: "Mom, Mom, we are here to see you."
A few little moons got up early this morning. They rushed in and acted coquettishly to Bai Lu.
Yi Yue smiled and took out the vanishing cream in her hand, handed it to Bai Lu, and said, "Mom, you have been too busy recently. Your face looks haggard and even a little yellow. You can wipe it off."
The other children also came forward and brought Bai Lu some cakes that they had eaten in the imperial kitchen that morning: "This morning, the prince uncle took us to the imperial kitchen and told us to take whatever we wanted to eat, so we took a lot of cakes."
"Mother, mother, please try it. Is it delicious?"
When Bailu saw these little moons, she felt happy.
Even though she was feeling very angry and pissed off when she thought of that bastard Pei Huizhou, when she saw the little moons, her bad mood improved a lot.
Bai Lu smiled and said to the little moons, "Your uncle the crown prince loves you very much."
"However, your uncle, the Crown Prince, is usually very busy with official duties. How come he has time to take you to the Imperial Kitchen to make trouble now?"
