Leaving the royal study, Bai Linyu went to the Dew Palace.
With the permission of Bai Zhan Ke, he was able to enter and exit the Dew Palace.
Arriving at the Dew Palace, the moment he stepped into the empress dowager's chambers, Bai Linyu saw the mess on the floor and frowned.
On the floor beside the bed sat the figure of the Empress Dowager.
"Scram, scram, get the hell out of here, scram …"
The Empress Mother did not look to see who it was when she heard the sound of footsteps entering the room.
Bai Linyu slowly approached and softly said, "Imperial Mother, it's me."
Upon hearing Bai Linyu's voice, the Empress Dowager abruptly raised her head and stood up. She stood in front of Bai Linyu with her messy hair, looking just like a madman.
"Yu'er, since you have come, This Dowager will know that you will not leave This Dowager. "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here …"
Bai Linyu helped the empress dowager sit by the bed. He gently smoothed her hair. That gentleness was that of a son.
"Yu'er, we can't wait any longer, you have been enduring for so many years, so you must seize the throne." Yu'er, we can't wait any longer, we have been enduring for so many years, you must take the throne, you must take it, you should take the throne.
"Yes, I understand."
Hearing the empress dowager's somewhat radical words, Bai Linyu still helped her run her hair along the bun, not affected in the slightest. On the contrary, his gentleness made the empress dowager feel that something was amiss.
However, she was still his son, so she wouldn't doubt him.
"Yu'er, you have to know that everything that This Dowager has done is for you."
"Imperial Mother, before Imperial Father died, was the poison in your body and the Gu you used?"
After fixing the empress dowager's bun, Bai Linyu suddenly stood up and looked at the empress dowager with a very serious expression.
The empress dowager was shocked by his sudden action and question.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her body rigid. After a long while, she finally managed to force out a smile.
"Yu'er, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you? What poison, what Gu? Your royal father was stabbed to death by Bai Zhan's sword. You saw it too, how could you?
The empress dowager seemed to have sensed that Bai Linyu was questioning her in such a manner. She must have suspected her.
Therefore, she tried her best to show that she had no flaws.
However, she was still unable to completely conceal her expression.
"Your mother says so, so your son believes it. In the past few days, I have been wronged and my mother is at the Dew Palace. In the next few days, I will muster up troops to force the palace into a corner so that my mother can fulfill her wish and watch me ascend to the throne. "
In an instant, Bai Linyu reverted to her former self, and the empress dowager relaxed.
"That's great. This one isn't feeling wronged at all. As long as you can become the emperor, it will be worth it even if I die."
"This son came in secretly and shouldn't stay for too long. Mother, you have been resting for the past few days. Once everything has been planned, I will send someone to send word to mother. This son will take his leave first."
Bai Linyu bowed to the empress dowager, then left the Dew Palace.
Ever since Bai Lingyu had come to the Dew Palace, the empress dowager had been in a very good mood.
Not only did he stop throwing things, he even ordered people to clean up the messy sleeping quarters with a smile on his face.
"Empress Dowager, chenqie has come to see you."
Today, Nangong Qianhua, who was forbidden from entering or leaving the Dew Palace, had unexpectedly arrived.
The empress dowager didn't look at Nangong Qianhua with a pleasant expression.
"What are you doing here? This Dowager's Dew Hall, wasn't it sealed by the Emperor? How did you get in? "
Nangong Qian Hua smiled and bowed to the empress dowager before stepping forward to stand by her side.
"Chenqie had to beg the emperor for several days before she finally obtained permission to come to the Dew Palace to see the empress dowager. The empress dowager treating her so coldly has hurt chenqie so much."
At this moment, the empress dowager was extremely unhappy with Nangong Qian Hua's current appearance.
"Don't be a weasel paying your respects to the chicken. Do you think I don't know that you've long since stood on the side of the emperor? When the prince was placed under house arrest, did you dare say you didn't plot it?"
Although the matter at that time had already been investigated, the empress dowager still had her suspicions. She still felt that it was highly likely that Nangong Qian Hua was the one who had tried to scheme against her.
"Esteemed empress dowager, your words have wronged chenqie. Today, chenqie came to bring you some snacks. Would you like to try them?"
After saying that, Nangong Qian Hua shot a look to the palace maid who had followed her in. The palace maid then stepped forward and handed the lunchbox over.
Looking at the dessert before her, the empress dowager smiled coldly.
"Are you trying to poison This Dowager? Are you trying to poison This Dowager to death?"
Her Majesty had always believed in the saying that if one did not have anything to offer, one would either commit adultery or theft.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, look at you, you've said something about hurting chenqie again." Your concubine came to the Dew Palace today to pass on a message for your highness. Empress Dowager, do you want to know what your highness wants your concubine to pass on? "
When Nangong Qianhua mentioned the prince, the empress dowager relaxed her guard.
"What message did Yu'er want you to pass on?"
Nangong Qianhua looked at the several palace maids and Senior Servant Qin who were waiting at the side. She said, "All of you can leave."
After the servants had all left, Nangong Qian Hua sat down beside the empress dowager with a serious expression.
"Aunt, His Highness has asked Qian Hua to send you a message saying that he has already made arrangements. Most of the palace guards have been replaced by Your Highness' men, and outside of the palace, there are also many people from the Jianghu that you are raising. Three days later, Your Highness will start a rebellion and take over the throne."
Actually, the empress dowager still doubted Nangong Qianhua.
However, after Nangong Qianhua said those words, those suspicions were dispelled.
Because only the empress dowager knew of Bai Linyu's movements, not even Senior Servant Qin at her side.
For her to be able to tell Bai Lingyu's plan this accurately, it must be something that Bai Lingyu had personally told her.
In actuality, these words had indeed been sent to the empress dowager by Bai Ling Yu, who had instructed Nangong Qianhua to pass them on to the empress dowager.
Yu'er, are you serious? Are you 100% sure? "
"Your consort doesn't know if you're 100% sure. Your highness only sent his concubine here to deliver a message. As for anything else, Your highness has never mentioned it."
Even though it was Bai Lingyu who had asked Nangong Qianhua to pass on the message, however …
"Good, good. The Huan Yue Country is finally Yu'er's. Only Yu'er will not leave this place. Good, good!"
On the other side, in the Hibiscus Courtyard.
In Hua Mujiao's bedroom, the table was completely occupied by a few men.
"Is he really trustworthy? Aren't you afraid that he might stab you in the back? "
Bai Yan frowned, looking at Bai Zhan Ke with concern.
"He won't."
The three words were the answer to Bai Zhan Ke's question.
"But just in case, this is just his trap. At that time, even if you regret it, you won't make it in time!"
"Your Lordship is right. If it's really a trap he threw at you, then I'm afraid there won't be any room for manoeuvre." It's best to prepare both hands, just in case. "
Beside him, Mu Xuanyin was also a bit worried.
When he heard of Bai Zhan Ke's plan, he was completely skeptical.
"I know, I know." I know, I know.
"Bai Zhan Ke, I want to involve Mu Qiu in your plans."
After listening to the discussion between the few men, Hua Mu Jin finally couldn't hold it in and was able to participate.
Although she also did not believe in this plan, she could only support it since she had already decided to do so.
"Aren't you harming her by involving her in this?"
Although Mu Yuze didn't really understand this Mu Qiu, seeing as how she was on good terms with Hua Mu Jin, if it was for Mu Qiu's sake, she couldn't get involved.
"No, I'm thinking that if Mu Qiu were to identify the empress dowager, it would at least have some effect." But that's not my goal. "
When Mu Qiu wanted to leave the Imperial Palace, Hua Mu Jin felt that this was the best opportunity for Mu Qiu to do so.
Mu Xuanli looked at her and asked, "Then what is your goal?"
"If she let Mu Qiu faked his death and sent him out of the palace, then in this world, there would no longer be a person like Mu Qiu. She would be able to change her name and live her own life."
"You really want to come out."
The best way to make Mu Qiu leave was to fake his life.
After all, not only was Mu Qiu unable to live, even the Right Prime Minister and the entire Prime Minister's Estate would be implicated.
"What can't you think of? This is the best chance for Mu Qiu to leave. Or perhaps, it would be fine to not let Mu Qiu testify against the empress dowager. Just say that Mu Qiu died in the hands of a traitor and that it would be very easy for Mu Qiu to be sent out of the palace."
If it wasn't for the fact that Bai Zhan Ke was the Emperor, Hua Mujiao actually didn't want to stay in this palace.
But the reality was, the man she loved was the emperor, and she had no choice but to become a woman in this harem.
"If you want to do it, then do it."
With the permission of Bai Zhan Ke, Hua Mujiao happily kissed him on the cheek, causing the three men beside him to roll their eyes.
Time flashed by, and three days passed just like that.
On the fourth day, the sky was exceptionally dark. Before the hour even arrived, it had already darkened. It was as if the next second, lightning would strike and rain would strike, and strong gales would appear.
This kind of night was destined to not be peaceful.
In the Dew Palace, the empress dowager was restless as she paced back and forth in her chamber, her worries a mystery.
"Empress Dowager, you've been walking back and forth for almost two hours already. Really, don't get tired."
On the side, Qin mama was worrying about the empress dowager's body as she persuaded her to sit down and rest.
"What time is it now?"
"It's almost morning."
The empress dowager looked at the palace doors that were wide open. The sky had already completely darkened, and a light drizzle had already fallen from the sky.
"Has there been any news from the Prince?"
Qin mama shook her head. "Not at the moment."
Bai Linyu's plan had been set for tonight. It was almost time for morning, but the palace was still peaceful and quiet. The empress dowager's heart was in turmoil, unable to settle down.
