Bai Ruo Lan laid on the ground, her entire body covered in blood as she blankly stared at the cold palace beams.

She was already suffering from a fate worse than death, but she was still hanging on with all her might. When that person came, she wanted to personally ask him.

She did not know how many days had passed, but every day, a dirty, deaf and dumb palace came to deliver food to her.

Bai Ruo Lan's fingers were broken, and she couldn't move. That deaf and dumb girl forced the food into her mouth and forced her to swallow it down.

After a few days passed like this, Mu Qingchen finally appeared. He was caught off guard and silently leaned against the cold palace's ground. When Bai Ruo Lan saw the bright yellow figure appear, she thought that her eyes had been blinded.

She blinked, her eyes fixed on the dreamy face.

Mu Qingchen looked at her with a cold and detached gaze. There wasn't the slightest trace of warmth in his gaze, as though they had never met.

Seeing his expression, Bai Ruo Lan remembered what Su Wan'Er had told her. Her heart felt like it was being cut by knives as she hoarsely said: "Why? Why did you do this to me? "Why are you doing this to me?"

Mu Qingchen looked down at her from above, his voice extremely cold and indifferent, "Tell me where Mu Qingye is, and I will let you out. I will not pursue any matters of the past, and you can continue to be my queen.

"Mu Qingye's whereabouts? "I don't know, Your Majesty!" Bai Ruolan looked at Mu Qingchen and let out a mournful laugh.

"You don't know?" Mu Qingchen's expression instantly darkened, "I thought you would repent, but I didn't expect you to still protect Mu Qingye. Bai Ruo Lan, do you really think I can't bear to touch you?"

"You can't bear to part with it?" Bai Ruolan really wanted to laugh out loud. She had suffered so much that it was better to die than to live, yet he actually still thought that he was being merciful to her. "Your majesty, are you sure you're treating me like this just because you want to know Mu Qingye's whereabouts?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Qingchen looked down at her from above.

If I really had feelings for him, then why would I show mercy to His Majesty? After all, Mu Qingye was a legitimate crown prince at the time, and the emperor didn't favor you as a prince back then. Wouldn't I have become a fool if I were to abandon the crown prince and choose the unfavoured prince?

"This is also what I wanted to ask you. Why didn't you choose Mu Qingye and chose to be with an unfavoured prince like me? Could it really be because you love me?" The real reason is because you want to be Mu Qingye's eyes and ears, right? "

"I didn't!" "No," she denied.

"No?" "Do you still want to deny the truth?" Mu Qingchen sneered, "I forgot to tell you something. Yuelun Army searched for evidence of a conspiracy in the Prime Minister's Estate this morning. How do you explain this?"

"What?" "That's impossible!" Bai Ruolan's intuition told her that Mu Qingchen was using a trick, and this trick was meant to frame the Bai Clan.

"Look at this, this is the evidence of your father colluding with Mu Qingye!" Mu Qingchen threw down a letter.

When Bai Ruo Lan picked it up and read it, she sucked in a breath of cold air. The contents of the letter was indeed a conspiracy, and the handwriting was also her father's. It had to be fake! It must be fake! "

"Counterfeit? Tell me, what reason do you have for me to forge this letter? Or do you not recognize your father's handwriting? "

"I don't believe that my father would rebel. Your Majesty, since my father has promised my father, how could he possibly collude with Mu Qingye?"

"That's a good question, isn't it? "I also find it strange that Bai Xiang decided to marry his most beloved daughter to me and then have a conspiracy with the crippled crown prince. Now, I finally understand, you're just trying to deceive my chess piece!"

Mu Qingchen lowered his head and looked at Bai Ruochen with a cold smile, "It's just that he made the wrong decision. He didn't expect that a slut like you would secretly communicate with Mu Qingye, causing his plan to be exposed!"

When Bai Ruochen heard those words, she let out a sad laugh. The two of them had never had a relationship before, and it was laughable that Mu Qingchen didn't believe her.

Su Wan'Er was right. It wasn't that he didn't believe her, but this had always been his plan. Since it was his plan, what was the use of her explaining it?

Looking at the man she had fallen in love with, Bai Ruo Lan couldn't help but sneer. "Your majesty, the punishment you want to punish me with is unforgivable!"

"You dare to deny the truth?" Seeing that she was still able to laugh, Mu Qingchen was enraged. Looking at Bai Ruolan's gorgeous face, thinking about how she would perform with Mu Qingye's Qin Xiao and act as a concubine, Mu Qingchen felt as though a knife was cutting through his heart, "You slut, do you think that I am easy to bully?"

Bai Ruo Lan's heart chilled. It's already like this, what is she waiting for?

Could it be that she could only count on Mu Qingchen to discover her kindness and treat her as before? For the sake of the imperial power to balance and slander her innocence, this Mu Qingchen was no longer the gentle and affectionate Mu Qingchen from before. He was the Emperor, and imperial power could not be desecrated.

"Your Majesty, this lowly concubine has no intentions of being empress, nor do I care about the position of empress. I only request that, in consideration of how this lowly concubine was infatuated with the emperor in the past, I let the entire Bai family leave and this lowly concubine is willing to give up the position of empress!"
