"But muhou, for him to put on a show as a hero saving the beauty means that he cares about Hua Mujin." With that, Bai Lingyu raised his eyes to look at the empress dowager's expression and continued.

"The reason why I've thought of ways to bring her into the palace is to have her stay by my side as a chess piece for us to use. If you're going against me everywhere, then I've wasted my move."

Hearing these words, the empress dowager helplessly shook her head. "Ah, Yu, you're still too young."

"If I don't act out today, how can I ascertain the emperor's intentions? If this is a trap, have you considered how serious the consequences would be? "

Hearing that, Bai Lingyu agreed and nodded his head, but in his heart, he still could not bear to do so.

"The Queen Mother's words are extremely true. It is this son who has been inconsiderate. However, she is currently injured, so I hope that mother can be merciful and let her heal first. If you were to really torture her to death, it will affect my plans. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you, okay?"

Her Majesty doted on her children.

Especially since it was very difficult for her to completely deny Bai Lingyu's request.

"This Dowager thought that you had come to the palace in the middle of the night just to see This Dowager, but who would have thought that it was for that woman? This makes This Dowager feel rather uncomfortable."

Laughing lightly while shaking his head, Bai Lingyu stood up from the chair, walked to the empress dowager's side and held her shoulders.

"Could Imperial Mother be jealous? Don't you understand my thoughts, mother? If not for avenging the father and taking back the position that belonged to me, this son wouldn't have been so concerned about a chess piece, right? "

After patting Bai Lingyu's hand lightly, the empress dowager smiled in satisfaction. "Yes, you're right."

Within the Manna Hall, mother and son were very harmonious. The empress dowager enjoyed the comfortable feeling her son gave her as he massaged her shoulders. After a long while, she seemed to recall something and asked.

"By the way, riots. How is it going? Don't let Shangguan Yi (General Shangguan) get hold of any weakness, or else our efforts will be in vain. "

"Mother, don't worry. This son has already been dealt with. No matter how powerful Shangguan Yi is, he won't be able to catch anything. Furthermore, those people were already dissatisfied with Bai Zhanke being the emperor, so they were going to be used by this son to incite a riot. Even if they were caught, they would not know that the person who used them was their son. "

With a comforting smile, the empress dowager was rather satisfied with Bai Lingyu's answer.

"In the past few years, you've grown quite a bit. This one is relieved."

"Your son is not a child. Mother, you don't have to worry about him."

Thus, he nodded his head in response.

In the dead of night, even the Imperial Palace was very quiet.

In the distance from the Manna Hall, a pair of black eyes was constantly watching the light within, and only after a long time did it disappear into the darkness.

With Mental Cultivation Hall, Bai Zhanke had already taken off his dragon robe and was half-lying on the bed, leisurely reading a book in his hands.

The sudden appearance of a figure did not surprise him in the least.

"Master, after the prince entered the palace, he immediately rushed towards the Manna Hall. Due to the tight security on the Manna Hall, this subordinate can only watch from afar. As for what they said inside, this subordinate cannot hear. "

Putting down the book in his hand, the corners of Bai Zhanke's lips curled up as he sneered.

"It doesn't matter. As long as Bai Lingyu enters the palace, it means that nothing will happen to his temporarily."

As if he had predicted everything, Bai Zhanke said very calmly.

Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Oh right, how is the selection of the palace maid going?"

Looking up, Nan Ge replied respectfully, "There's a palace maid in the imperial kitchens who used fire as a tool. This subordinate has investigated before, she was born in a village, and was sold by her mother into the imperial palace.
