What Da Ye mentioned was a plan for a life without the support of the Ye family in the future. At the same time, he also planned to leave himself clear after handing over this gold-cavity cave. After all, if the empress dowager gets angry, she can't afford it.

She asked Bai Haochen: "Do you think Bai Heran can protect us both mother and mother? Once that golden cave is exposed, I will be the most suspicious. The Empress Dowager will first think that I betrayed her. You don't know the method of your aunt. The golden cave is her lifeline. Whoever touches her lifeline must pay for it."

Bai Haochen was also afraid of the empress dowager, but he was not as afraid as Da Ye. After all, he didn't have much contact with the empress dowager and didn't know what the so-called gold-cavity cave meant. So he spoke relatively easily and could tell Da Ye: "It's certainly possible. Naturally, Bai Heran will come back, and his aunt will never be able to do well in her hands."

But the Da Ye family was still worried that destroying the hidden gold cave would be equivalent to digging the foundation of the empress dowager. This foundation is not only the support of the empress dowager's countless private soldiers, but also the foundation for the survival of the empress dowager and even the entire Ye family.

She understood very well that the reason why the court allowed the Empress Dowager and the Ye family to have not taken action yet was not because of any affection, and the Ye family had no affection with the court. The court was just buying time for herself, destroying the Empress Dowager's gold-cave cave step by step, and controlling the private camp step by step. If she handed over this time, she would completely break up with the Empress Dowager and the Ye family.

Da Ye gritted his teeth, "Forget it, if you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous. It's because your Ye family is sorry for me first. I did this to protect myself. It's enough for the Ye family to be merciless for half of their life!"

She told Bai Haochen: "Please pay attention. When you see Bai Heran come back, you will go and look for her. Tell Bai Heran that as long as you can help me sit back to the position of mistress and as long as you can protect our mother and son in this incident, I can hand over the gold cave. At the same time, I will testify that it was the Ye family that threatened me to move the wealth of Bai's family, and even the fifty boards stipulated by the law, I would also be willing to take it. But Bai Heran must protect me from death, which is the basis of everything."

Bai Haochen nodded, "Don't worry, mother, my son will do it. I'll go to the front yard to stare at it, and she will tell her as soon as she comes back."

In fact, Bai Haochen himself did not realize that he was so disgusted with the Ye family, and today he was so determined to instigate the Da Ye family to turn against the Ye family, and thus devoted himself to Bai Heran's wings. These are all the contributions to plum fruit.

For several days, Mei Guo has been brainwashing her ears, and she never directly persuaded them to "betray". She just didn't deserve it for the second wife from the perspective of a "daughter-in-law". She was just recalling the crimes suffered by the second wife over the past few days and the good things that the third wife had achieved for Bai Haochen. She never mentioned the Ye family between the lines, but it made Bai Haochen increasingly dissent and more and more about the Ye family, and she felt that the Ye family was sorry for them, and she threw them away after using it.

He didn't know that it was the subtle influence of plum fruit that caused him to completely give up on continuing cooperation with the Ye family through this incident, and pulled his mother to seek refuge with Bai Heran.

Of course, no matter who he surrenders to, he is to save his life, to his future wealth and glory and his status as Duke Wen.

At that time, Bai Heran was sitting in the Qingming Hall playing chess with Tianhedi.

Based on the principle that she cannot cure herself by herself, the injury on her arm was treated by Zheng Duo, the head of the Imperial Hospital Hospital, who was personally treated. Of course, she used the medicine she prepared herself. The Empress had just come over and cried, scolded the Ye family, and then returned to Zhaoren Palace to rest after Bai Heran's persuasion.

This game of chess was very hard to play. Bai Heran couldn't understand the chess path, so he was basically confused. The old emperor frowned and kept saying to her: "You shouldn't be doing this step like this. You said that you would win when you put your pistol here, but in fact you lost all the game because I still have many moves on this side!"

Bai Heran smiled bitterly, "Father, my daughter is not very good at playing chess. Why don't we change the way we play other ways? Why don't we change the chess pieces with names and then go on a game?"

The old emperor thought the gameplay was really fresh, so he took a bunch of wood squares according to what Bai Heran said, and then watched Bai Heran dip his pen ink and write down names on each wooden square.

OK, there are the Ye family, the queen mother, herself, and Jun Mulin.

The old emperor was happy, "You are trying to catch a turtle!"

Bai Heran nodded, arranged the two pieces, and pushed the chess piece with the Ye family and the Queen Mother written on it to Emperor Tianhe. "The father comes to walk their chess, and the daughter comes to walk our chess."

This game took an entire hour, and in the end, the old emperor lost.

But he lost happily because if he lost, he meant that the Ye family would lose, and the Queen Mother would lose, and Bai Heran's win was Dong Qin's victory, which was the best ending he had always hoped for.

But this is just a chess after all. If it were put into reality, would he still lose?

The chess game was still in front of him. The old emperor looked at it and then spoke, but said to Bai Heran: "The feathers must be pulled one by one. Since those things exist, they cannot be pulled down the nest if they are pulled down. Otherwise, once the nest is overturned, the chess pieces scattered outside will likely be used by others, which is what I least want to see."

Bai Heran nodded, "Yes, Your Highness told me that there are still many private soldiers who have not been hoarded. If the Ye family and the Empress Dowager are moved at this time, those private soldiers will be taken away by others, or they will form their own factions and cause trouble to Dong Qin."

"What are you planning?" Emperor Tianhe waved his hand, "I have not been concerned about military affairs for many years, and Lin'er has always been in charge. Now I am not in vain to look at you, the future princess. There are many things that I can see even more clearly than Lin'er."

Bai Heran laughed, "How can my daughter compete with the Tenth Prince? She has no intention of those soldiers and generals. The reason why she got involved was because there were more than one Ye family members at home, so this was passively pulled into the game!"

Emperor Tianhe nodded, "Yes, speaking of it, your Bai family is also in a mess."

This was said vaguely. Bai Heran knew that the old emperor must have been dissatisfied with Duke Wen's mansion, and it is even very likely that once the Ye family settled the accounts in the future, the Bai family would not be able to survive.

But that was the past. Now that she has come, she can't watch the Bai family, which has been dragged into the water by the Ye family, sinking deeper and deeper. Bai Xingyan doesn't care, but there are still people she wants to protect in that mansion.

"It's good to be more messy." She said calmly, "You can make mistakes in chaos. If they are calmer than the other and live without any turbulence, that is the trickiest." She pushed away the chess game that had been played on the table and wiped away the names one by one with ink. "Don't worry, my daughter understands that it's amazing and will not be too hasty. But my arm cannot be damaged in vain. I have to knock out something from the Ye family to be done."

The old emperor nodded again, "How many do you want to knock out?"

Bai Heran put all the chess pieces together, "I plan to knock out so many." As she spoke, she divided the chess pieces into two piles, a pile of big and a pile of small. She pointed to the small pile and said, "This is my mother's dowry. When Shili Hongzhuang was married to Dongqin, she now lost her shadow. So many dowry disappeared in the past ten years, and I must have found it."

"This is what it should be." The old emperor was not confused. People had to do something for themselves, and they could not be too selfless. If people were too selfless, then there would be a problem. "Where is the other pile?"

"This is the military pay I have been seeking for my future husband." She said it for granted.

The old emperor smacked his lips when he heard this, "I'm not married yet, so my elbows are turned out first. If you don't say such a good thing, I'll think about my godfather and godmother first, but I'm thinking about my future husband. I'm really a girl who's old but not a woman."

Bai Heran laughed, "Father, only when the soldiers who fought against the country are fed can they be able to carry their swords and guns!"

"I know, I just said that." The old emperor blushed, "But how much is this one? Girl, don't blame me for not reminding you that Lao Tzu has a lot of soldiers in his hands. If you knock less, you won't be able to feed them!"

"The emperor thinks it is enough for a gold-hidden cave in Empress Ye's hand?"

"Hiss!" The old emperor took a breath, "She still has a hidden gold cave in her hand?"

Bai Heran nodded, "The Tenth Highness said that there are at least five such places, each of which can be a rich country. In fact, if we really count it, Empress Dowager Ye is the richest man in Dongqin, not the Hong family. However, a large part of her money comes from the Hong family, because a few years ago, the Ye family and the second wife of the Duke's mansion cooperated with each other, and moved all the filial piety silver sent by the Hong family to the Duke's mansion, and even stole all the dowry of my mother's ten-mile long shop."

"I really rebel against their Ye family!" The old emperor was also angry, but he had no choice but to do something, because the situation of Empress Dowager Ye had already started before he succeeded to the throne. At that time, he was not in charge of the rule, so naturally he had no way to realize it. When the late emperor was old and gradually delegated power, it was too late to attack the Ye family.

Ye already had a small force outside, and it was not enough to rebel, but at the same time, the court wanted to overthrow it in one fell swoop. This is also why he later named Ye the queen mother after he took office. He wanted to take this person under his nose and keep the wolf by his side, which was the safest thing to do.

Of course, this wolf is growing stronger in this captive environment. The large amount of money flowing over the years was unexpected by Emperor Tianhe, but he was also willing to give the old lady this opportunity. Because his family's tenth brother once told him that for a wolf raised in captive, no matter how fat it is, it is always in our cage. Let it grow flesh to the fullest. When it grows until it cannot be long, it is the most cost-effective to slaughter it with one knife.

The father and son called this the wolf raising plan. Of course, this plan was later handed over to Lao Shi himself to stare at it, so he only felt at ease to be an emperor and control the overall situation. Therefore, the old emperor did not know about the gold cave that Bai Heran mentioned.
