His daughter, he, Pei Qinghan’s daughter, unexpectedly, unexpectedly—
It was his fault. It was all his fault. No wonder when that child saw him, the indifference in her eyes were colder than the snow falling in the sky.
Thinking about Pei Xiachen’s life, and that child’s life, his heart felt in pain. It was so painful that he can hardly breathe.
What is he going to do? What should he do to get that child’s forgiveness?
Bai Zhenzhu’s lips slightly curved into a smile and then left quietly triumphantly.
After Bai Zhenzhu left, Si Fu came in from outside and said to Pei Qinghan: “Houye, you said that you wanted to lock up the eldest miss. Do you still want to lock her up?”
When Pei Qinghan returned to his senses, he looked up at the empty doorway, then gritted his teeth and said: “Don’t lock her up first, you immediately send someone to find the whereabouts of Liu Guihua and Bai Xiaofeng. After you find them, don’t startle the snake, just stare at them.”
When Si Fu responded and left, Pei Qing coldly snorted: “I, Pei Qinghan, hated being threatened the most.”

In Qing’an Palace
Su Chun was listening to the grand palace lady’s report when a little palace maid came in and said: “Empress, his highness, Prince Xiao is here.”
Su Chun immediately said: “Let him come in.” Then she waved her hand to the grand palace lady: “You guys get out first.”
When Chu Feng came in, there was no one else in the hall except the empress. He smiled and said: “The empress mother is so anxious to call her son, what’s the matter?”
Su Chun beckoned to him, signaling him to come closer.
Chu Feng stepped forward in two steps and then asked in a low voice, “What does the empress mother want to say?”
Su Chun smile and said: “As you know, the Empress Dowager is standing on our side. As soon as I said about it, she immediately agreed.”
Chu Feng’s expression was overjoyed, then suddenly, Bai Zhi’s pretty little face appeared in his mind. He was so happy that he quickly said: “But now she has been taken away by Dongfang Mu. I have no chance to approach her!”
Su Chun covered his mouth and chuckled: “Look at you, are you that anxious to see that pretty girl? Why I didn’t see you so anxious before?”
“Mother, don’t make fun of me. I only have great ambition in mind, all the other things are nothing in my eyes.” Chu Feng said with a stern face.
Su Chun nodded her head: “It’s best if you think this way. You must know, that what you can’t touch the most in this world is the word love. When you become successful in the future, what kind of beauty can’t you get?”
Chu Feng immediately cupped his hands and bowed his head: “What the Empress Mother said is true. This son will keep it in mind.”
Su Chun felt relieved and then said: “Although Bai Zhi returned to Dongfang Family Mansion. The Empress Dowager said that as long as we finish arranging things, she can declare Bai Zhi to enter the palace. Even if Dongfang Mu is arrogant, what can he do? Can he let make his granddaughter resist the decree?”
Chu Feng suppressed the joy in his heart and said with a straight face: “Good. I don’t know when the Empress Mother intends to do it?”
Su Chun thought for a while and said, “On the 9th day, the emperor will summon the Minister of Foreign Affairs that day. He will not come to the harem. Dongfang Mu will also be with the emperor. Moreover, Chu Yan will still not come back that day. It is the best time.”
Today was the 7th day, so the 9th day will be the day after tomorrow. It was indeed a good day.
Chu Feng calmed down and chatted with the empress a bit before he left the palace to prepare.
Bai Zhi didn’t know that there was a conspiracy being prepared for her. While she was still sleeping to make up for her lack of sleep, the trap was completed, and only waiting for her to deliver herself.
On the 9th day of the lunar month.
It was no longer snowing, but the cold wind was more piercing than before. The sky was gray. She felt like she almost forgot what a sunny day looks like.
