Chapter 710: Crime not guilty of death

Not long after Hu Feng left, the emperor sent someone to inquire about the progress. The Emperor was overjoyed when he heard that the empress dowager’s condition had improved, and said that as long as Bai Zhi could heal the empress dowager, he would heavily give her rewards.

Dongfang Mu was right in front of the emperor. After hearing these words, he immediately waved his hand and said: “The reward is unnecessary. I only hope that Zhi’er will not be wronged during these days in the palace, and she will be able to go out of the palace peacefully and safely.”

The emperor laughed and said: “Look at what you’re saying, you talk as if this palace is a demon den that eats people.”

Dongfang Mu coldly snorted: “Although this place cannot be called a demon den, there are a few demons hidden in it. It is not easy for me to find this granddaughter. She is the lifeblood of our Dongfang family. If something bad happened to her, Wan’er and I don’t have a reason to live anymore.”

This remark was very heavy, and also the heaviest remark that Dongfang Mu said in front of the emperor. It was tantamount to threatening death.

The emperor naturally knew the importance of Bai Zhi in the Dongfang family. Although Dongfang Mu didn’t hesitate to talk to him on weekdays, he never looked so cold. Obviously, he had a lot of concerns about this harem.

“Don’t worry, with me here, Bai Zhi will not lose a single strand of hair. I will send a shadow guard to protect her in secret.”

This was what Dongfang Mu wants. The shadow guards in the palace were first-class masters, who were not only best at hiding in the dark, but also fighting to the death to protect their master.

“Okay, okay, that’s settled.” Dongfang Mu’s face finally showed a smile. Seeing this the emperor was relieved. It was not easy to make this old man happy!

It was already midnight when Pei Qinghan woke up. The servant next to him hurriedly brought him tea: “Houye, you are finally awake. You have been in a coma the whole day.”

After Pei Qinghan’s brief confusion, many things rushed into his mind. Dongfang Wan, who wanted to divorce him. The little girl he saw in the palace that day. Song Hexiang, who was locked in the firewood room. Bai Zhenzhu, who was carrying the title of the daughter of Changyuan Houfu... ...

What to do? What is he going to do now?

Pei Qinghan looked outside and saw that there were light and figures, so he asked: “Who is outside?”

The servant busily replied: “Answering back the houye, it is the second young lady and the two young masters.”

Song Hexiang gave birth to only one daughter, Pei Xiachen. The eldest son and the second son were four and three years old this year. They were born to other concubines, but both died of dystocia. His other children died before they reached full term. These two young sons were both raised under Song Hexiang’s care.

Pei Qinghan didn’t pay much attention to the back house and didn’t have much affection for these two concubines, which was why he never asked about them. When they died, he just asked someone to bury them. Thinking about it now, these matters were also very strange. It can be said that these things were also related to that bitch, Song Hexiang.

“What are they doing outside?” Pei Qinghan frowned and asked.

The servant replied: “The second young lady and the young masters are kneeling outside, wanting to intercede for Madama Xiang. They have been kneeling outside since you were unconscious.”

Pei Qinghan was silent for a while, and then suddenly got out of bed. The servant hurriedly took the coat and put it on him.

When he opened the door, he saw three people were kneeling. One tall and two short. Pei Xiachen was in a daze, while the two small figure was dozing off. if it weren’t for their nanny, they would have fallen asleep on the ground.

Pei Qinghan shouted in a deep voice: “What is this nonsense!”

Pei Xiachen returned to her senses and saw her angry father. But still, she walked forward while kneeling and pulled her father’s clothes, then said: “Father, please, let my mother go. Although she is wrong, her crime is not guilty of death, so please let her go!”
