"But muhou, for him to put on a show as a hero saving the beauty means that he cares about Hua Mujiao." As he spoke, Bai Linyu raised her eyes to look at the empress dowager's expression before continuing.

"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 this, the empress dowager helplessly shook her head. "Ah, Yu'er, 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 this, Bai Linyu nodded in agreement, but in his heart, he still couldn't 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 because of Bai Linyu's request, it was very difficult for her to completely deny him.

"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."

Smiling faintly and shaking his head, Bai Linyu stood up from her chair and walked to the empress dowager's side. She reached out a hand to pick up the empress dowager's shoulder.

"Could Imperial Mother be jealous? Don't you understand my thoughts, mother? If I hadn't avenged my royal father and seized back the position that should have belonged to me, this son wouldn't have been so concerned about a chess piece, right? "

The empress dowager patted Bai Linyu's hand and smiled in satisfaction. "Yes, you're right."

In the Dew Palace, the mother and son were very harmonious. The empress dowager enjoyed the comfort of having her son massage her shoulders. After a long time, she seemed to recall something and asked.

"By the way, riots. How is it going? "Don't let Shangguan Yi (General Shangguan) get her hands on anything, otherwise all the work will be for naught."

"Mother, don't worry. Your son has been taken care of. No matter how powerful Shangguan Yi is, she won't be able to catch me." Furthermore, those people were already dissatisfied with Bai Zhan Ke being the emperor, and thus, they were used by this son of his to start a riot. Even if they were caught, they would not know that the person who used them was their son. "

With a smile of relief, the Empress Dowager was quite satisfied with Bai Linyu's reply.

"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 Dew Palace, a pair of black eyes stared at the lights within for a long time before disappearing into the darkness.

Within the Heartrest Palace, Bai Zhan Ke had already taken off his dragon robe and was half-lying down on the bed. He held a book in his hand as he leisurely read.

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

"Mistress, after entering the palace, the Prince headed straight for the Dew Palace. Due to the strict security of the Dew Palace, this subordinate can only watch from afar. As for what they are saying inside, this subordinate can't hear them. "

Putting down the book in his hand, the corners of Bai Zhan Ke's mouth curled up as he sneered.

"It doesn't matter. As long as Bai Linyu enters the palace, it means that nothing will happen to her for the time being."

As if anticipating everything, Bai Zhan Ke spoke 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 answered respectfully, "There's a palace maid in the imperial kitchens who was born in a village. She was sold in the palace by her mother. She's a bit timid, but she's optimistic."
