The atmosphere in the palace was also very depressing. Even the lanterns hung during the Chinese New Year were taken off. Although they were not hung with white cloth and white banners like the Ling Palace, there was no red spot on the upper and lower parts of the palace, except for the palace walls.

The palace people carefully served their masters, and their masters closed the door with the palace lock and gathered together in groups of three or three, talking about the wild gossips of Concubine Li Xian and Bai Xingyan back then.

Compared to Guo Wentian who had been wiped out, the story of Concubine Li Xian and Bai Xingyan seemed to attract them more. Some people recalled that when Concubine Li Xian was young, she thought of her foxes and her eyes seducing people like foxes. Some even said: "It's not just the emperor, even the guards and eunuchs in the palace couldn't take their eyes off when they saw her. I remember a young nobleman who had just entered the palace. He looked straight when he saw Concubine Li Xian for the first time, and then he was obsessed with it. In the end, even the emperor refused, and he was worried about Concubine Li Xian wholeheartedly, and finally died of depression. So, Concubine Li Xian is a fairy, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, the old or young, or the eunuchs, they can't move when they see her."

"So, it's not the Duke of Wen Guo, it was a flirting with Concubine Li Xian? Didn't the Empress Dowager make a mistake? For this reason, Princess Tianci killed the Empress Dowager. Tsk tsk, Princess Tianci is really a cover of the sky. The Empress Dowager of a Kingdom killed him as soon as he said he was killed. I saw that the emperor had no intention of mourning, and the body was still in Defu Palace! You guys, you can't stop all the time, right?"

"No, no." An empress waved her hand, "The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager. No matter how the royal family has closed the door, no matter how many twists and turns are there, she still has to give an explanation to the people of the world. So this funeral should be held, but it is not now. The most important thing now is the funeral of the fifth prince. And the Ninth Prince has not returned to Beijing..."

Bai Heran walked in the palace, and the palace servants led her to Qingming Palace all the way. Jiang Yue was no longer an eunuch, and Yu Ben also took her to the Hall of Hell. The little eunuch who came out to pick her up now is said to be a newcomer and has never seen her much before.

She had no intention of concluding when a new eunuch came to the palace, and why did this new eunuch be the emperor's close servant as soon as she came up. She kept wondering where the ninth prince went, why did Jun Mulin come back, but he still have no news yet. Also, wasn't the people from Jiandian sent him out of the city? Why did they lose contact with Jiandian?

Emperor Tianhe was waiting for her in the Qingming Palace, and Jun Mulin and Jiang Yue were also there. Jiang Yue and Jun Mulin sat side by side. Seeing Bai Heran coming, he quickly got up and gave up his seat, turned to the opposite side, sat down and said, "Sister-in-law, you finally came. Brother Ninth hasn't returned yet. Brother Ten said he was going to find him. My father and I were pressing here. I didn't let him move, so I'll wait for you."

Bai Heran nodded at him and quickly stepped forward to salute to Emperor Tianhe.

The old emperor was exhausted and his face was full of tiredness. When he saw Bai Heran coming, he was relieved and raised his hand and said, "Good boy, don't be so polite to your father, sit down quickly. I heard that you have returned to Tianci Town, what's there? No trouble, right?"

Bai Heran shook his head, "Don't worry, God will save everything as usual." She didn't get up and sit down, but still knelt on the ground, "Aran apologized to her father, and my cloud leopard bit the second prince to death. Although it is a beast, it is also a beast I raise, so I will bear its sin. If the father wants to punish him, Aran is willing to take it."

As soon as he said this, Jun Mulin, who was sitting on the side, frowned first. He raised his eyelids and looked at the old emperor. Although he didn't say anything, the father and son were in love. The old emperor could tell what the son meant with his eyes. That meant: Why, you still have to punish our family A Ran for the damn second child? Have you forgotten who saved this country?

The old emperor thought to himself, subconsciously shivered and quickly said, "What are you saying? Since that evil beast did that thing, the ending will be death." He sighed at this point, "Forget it, it's all over."

Bai Heran didn't say anything else and stood up silently. Speaking of apologizing, it was just a formality. Yun Bao bit the second prince to death, and she always had to tell the old emperor in person that no one could make mistakes. But if the old emperor really punished her for this, she would also turn against her. That person killed her brother and only let Yun Bao die, which was a bargain.

Emperor Tianhe sat on the dragon throne for decades and had long been a spirit. How could he not know what Bai Heran was thinking? But he didn't want to interfere with Bai Heran's temperament too much. He needed such a woman to stand by his son whom he liked the most and placed most on high hopes, so that he could pass the throne with confidence in a hundred years.

Jun Mulin stretched out his hand at the girl who was walking over. The girl naturally handed her hand over and said to him after she got off the seat, "It's too risky to go out of the city to find her. I know you have great skills and a high spirit, but don't forget that when we first met, you were alone and someone was plotted against. So even if you are skilled and brave, there will always be times when the other party can ambush you once, and you can ambush you a second time. Don't be lucky."

"Then what do you think?" He heard the meaning of her words, "Stop me from letting me go alone, do you mean to be with me? Ranran, Brother Jiu is likely to be attacked by the enemy. You will probably fall into it if you go with me, most of the time, are you afraid?"

She smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If the 200,000 enemy troops are all attacked, I don't believe that there will be another 200,000 people outside. Jun Mulin, I have said before that no matter what happens or how much risk you take, I want to stand with you and face it together. I'm not afraid of fighting in the house and killing enemies on the battlefield. At worst, we can run away if we can't beat them. I don't believe that this ability does not even have the ability to escape in the end? Then I will be in vain and it will not be unfair to die."

The tenth prince laughed and then looked at his father, "How is it, old man, am I right?"

Emperor Tianhe nodded, "No one knows her than you, and no one knows you or her."

Jiang Yue clapped his hands and sighed: "The Tenth Brother and Sister Ten is not yet a couple, but they are already in the same heart and virtue. It is really enviable. You don't know that before you came, the Tenth Brother Ten said, either he left first and left quietly, otherwise once you know, you will definitely propose to walk with him, but face all the dangers together. This really made the Tenth Brother tell me! Although I envied the couple in the past, I never thought about it, but when I saw you two sitting together again today, I really wanted to ask for a wife. I don't know if the people I meet in the future can be as old as the Tenth Brother and Sister Tenth Brother."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Tianhe, "Father, please tell me if the tenth brother and the tenth sister-in-law are allowed to go? The ninth brother's affairs cannot be delayed anymore, and the people in the hall cannot count on it. Only the tenth brother can do this."

What else could the old emperor say? He asked Bai Heran to enter the palace, and he had the intention of letting Bai Heran go with his son.

He felt that he might be really old, otherwise how could he be so dependent on a little girl? Sometimes he even felt that his confidence in this little girl exceeded his confidence in his son. He just felt that no matter what, as long as Bai Heran came forward, it would definitely be solved. Even if it was difficult, Bai Heran would have his own way.

Lao Jiu disappeared, and he was uneasy. Now Bai Heran has offered to go out of the city to find him, so he is naturally happy.

"A Ran, thank you. You said you owe me a great favor. This time, as long as you can bring my son back safely, this favor will be paid back. We will not mention any of the past, just pretend that it has not happened."

Bai Heran stood up and knelt down to thank him. No matter whether she was willing to repay the debt of favor in this way, it would be better than not to pay it back. She felt at ease when she paid it back. But she told Emperor Tianhe: "Even if there is no need to repay the royal favor, Gebu's daughter will still leave this trip. My uncle is still locked in Gebu's prison, and his life and death are uncertain. Moreover, my brother Hongwang was threatened by Prince Gebu and had to do it. And my mother's death is behind me, the shadow of Gebu, the king of Gebu. So I have a reason to avenge this hatred, and I hope my father can understand it."

She kowtowed to Emperor Tianhe and said sincerely: "A Ran seems to always cause trouble for Dong Qin, but this time I go quietly, and will not use the banner of Princess Tianci, or even try not to let anyone recognize who I am. This is my private matter and has nothing to do with Dong Qin, but if Gebu can take it back from the current monarch and hand it back to my uncle, I will definitely accept him as he depends on Dong Qin and promote his power."

Jun Mulin walked forward, reached out and pressed her shoulder, "I will go with you."

Emperor Tianhe looked at these two children for a long time and nodded, "Well, after getting over the matter in the capital, you can go wherever you should! I can hold on for a few years, so I will help you more in the past few years. When I die, no matter what happens, I can only face it yourself." He said, looking at Bai Heran, "Good child, I have said before that I have handed over my favorite son to your hands, and I have never regretted it. I still say that even if he wants to follow you to go to Gebu for danger, I still want to say that this is the responsibility he should shoulder as a man. You are her future wife, so he has the obligation to help you protect you and complete what you want with you."

Jun Mulin didn't like to listen to him like this, "Don't behave like giving his last words. No one cares about your country. You'd better sit firmly and not cause trouble for us." After that, he pulled up his wife from the ground, "Ranran, go back and get some pills for the old man, so that he can live more easily. The longer he lives, the longer we can live, otherwise once the burden of the throne is suppressed, it will be difficult for him to turn over again in this life."
