Baili Mochen frowned as he listened. Why did these words sound like he was explaining his funeral arrangements
Although he blamed him a little at first, as he grew up, he also understood how much he had to do in the royal family, so from that time, he was able to understand his special father.
But he was used to hiding his emotions and was not used to expressing them. Now when he heard his father say this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
He is just an ordinary person of flesh and blood, not the omnipotent, cold and ruthless God of War in people's eyes.
He also has affection and love. Seeing his relatives leave and suffer, he will be sad and want to cry.
"Father, don't say anything. You should have a good rest first. I will come with you after I have taken care of the outside matters." Baili Mochen said softly, holding back his sadness.
"Well, go ahead, I'm fine!" After explaining everything, a relieved smile appeared on the emperor's face.
Although he still had many regrets, it was enough. At least he didn't blame himself anymore!
Baili Mochen stood up and walked out of the hall, suppressed the sour and unknown liquid in his eyes, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.
Baili Mochen mobilized the men and horses of the palace guards from the Gyeonggi Province to conduct a thorough cleaning of the entire palace to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
He Pingting, who was under house arrest, was freed and was sent back to her hometown.
Originally, He Pingting was full of excitement after hearing the news that King Yao was back, but looking at her current appearance, He Pingting lowered her head silently and allowed them to send her back to her house.
Now that she is unclean, how can she still be worthy of such a perfect King Yao? No, she doesn't deserve it!
In He Pingting's heart, she had already regarded Baili Mochen as a god, worshiping, admiring, and admiring him, so she felt that she was now like a ball of dirty mud that would stain his beauty.
Back at the Duke's Mansion, Wang held He Pingting in her arms and cried bitterly. She was really worried to death these days.
But looking back at He Pingting, she was just a little depressed, and she didn't seem to be particularly excited about anything else.
Wang looked at her daughter's thin back and suddenly felt that her daughter seemed to have changed.
If she had encountered something like this before, shouldn't she have cried to herself about her suffering? But now...
Could it be that he was stimulated in some way in the palace? Wang was very worried, so she couldn't help but run to ask.
"Pingting, are you... okay? Did you suffer anything in the palace? Tell your mother, I will ask your father to go to the memorial and I will punish them well."
Mrs. Wang came to her daughter's room, held He Pingting's hand with a caring look and said.
"It's okay, mother, don't worry. If it's okay, my daughter wants to rest early!" He Pingting withdrew her hand without leaving a trace and said calmly.
"Then... you can rest!" Wang looked at her daughter's haggard expression and could only nod her head.
If Pingting didn't say anything, Xiu Tao who was following her must know what was going on, so Wang pulled Xiu Tao aside and asked in a low voice.
"Xiutao, let me ask you, did the young lady suffer any hardships in the palace this time?" Wang asked eagerly, staring into Xiutao's eyes.
"This... Miss, she..." Xiutao avoided her eyes, lowered her head, and said hesitantly.
"You're telling me? Did the young lady suffer at all? Why does it seem like she's a changed person when she comes back this time?" Wang said anxiously, looking at Xiutao's hesitating appearance.
"Miss, she..." Xiutao wanted to say, Miss, she has not only suffered, but it is not what people should suffer, it is too scary, but the lady has confessed that she is not allowed to say a word to anyone, she cannot talk!
"You..." Wang wanted to say something else, but she heard Pingting's voice coming from the room.
"Xiu Tao? Light the soothing incense for me. I want to have a good sleep." He Pingting's call successfully freed Xiu Tao.
Xiutao hurriedly turned around and walked indoors, not forgetting to turn around and apologize to Mrs. Wang: "I'm sorry, madam, I have to go serve the lady!"
"Hey... you haven't said anything yet..." Before Wang could finish her words, Xiutao had already disappeared from the door.
"What's so mysterious about these two people?" Wang muttered and turned around and left Shuxiangyuan.
He Pingting has not been able to sleep well these days. Whenever she closes her eyes, the unbearable scenes of that day are always tormenting her body and mind.
This is true even if the soothing incense is burned. Only He Pingting and Xiutao know this.
This time, He Pingting never left Shuxiangyuan again until Bailihe's trial was over.
After a busy night, Baili Mochen didn't return to the inn until the sky was getting brighter.
But what waited for him was not the bright and gentle smile of the spring breeze, but the mess in the courtyard and the bloody corpses.
Baili Mochen immediately rushed to the corner room on the second floor like a madman and pushed open the door.
Empty!
"Spring breeze!" Baili Mochen shouted softly, and he was greeted by dead silence.
"Chunfeng, where are you? Come out quickly!" An ominous premonition flashed through Baili Mochen's heart and he shouted anxiously.
Suddenly, something seemed to be moving under my feet.
Baili Mochen took a step back and looked down.
It turned out to be his hidden guard, who was still breathing and was grabbing his legs with his hands.
"What's going on? What's going on? Where is the princess?" Baili Mochen excitedly grabbed Yinwei's lapel and asked.
Blood kept pouring out of Yinwei's mouth, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand. He raised his hand with difficulty and said, "Princess... Princess, she..." He was already frustrated before he finished speaking.
"Where did the princess go? Tell me? Tell me!" Looking at the dead guard, Baili Mochen roared excitedly and angrily.
"Ah" Baili Mochen roared, regretting that he had not taken good care of Chunfeng.
Suddenly a gleam of light flashed in the hidden guard's hand, reminding him. He stretched out his hand to take out the thing in the hidden guard's hand, and Baili Mochen stood up suddenly.
"Come here, check for me, and find the princess as quickly as possible! Otherwise, you all have to come to see me!" Baili Mochen's expression was so cold that it could kill people.
"Yes, I will go immediately!" The hidden guard, who had been busy all night, immediately turned around and went to do it.
It was already noon when Lan Yi arrived. In order to cooperate with the prince's actions, he returned to Beijing later. As soon as he arrived today, he heard that the princess was missing.
"Prince, what's going on? Princess, she..." Lan Yi asked cautiously.
The only answer he received was silent silence. Lan Yi couldn't help but continue: "Then are there any clues now?"
"..." Baili Mochen remained silent, but he took out something and put it on the table.
Since Chunfeng disappeared, he had not said a word except to ask people to check. It had only been half a day, and his chin was already covered with green stubble, and his whole person looked haggard.
