Bai Heran's question made Lin very happy. He covered his mouth and giggled for a while and said, "Of course I have already entered the palace with a gorgeous dress. I asked the second lady for the blessing. Our third lady also received a post for entering the palace for the banquet. It was sent by the people from the Ling Palace."

Lin was very happy when talking about this. She was not optimistic about the matter between her daughter and the fifth prince because her daughter was a concubine. But later, Bai Yanyu gradually got closer to Bai Heran, and she began to look forward to it. Even though she knew that Bai Heran did not agree with this marriage, she still had some hope in her heart.

At noon today, the people from Prince Ling's Mansion sent a post to the third lady of the Bai family, which also read Bai Yanyu's name. Lin's originally half-cold heart suddenly ignited hope again, and she felt that the fifth prince was also interesting to her daughter.

Lin's words made Bai Heran obviously stunned for a moment, and his actions of getting off the carriage paused. Hong's eyes were sharp and immediately saw something was wrong, so she quickly came forward and took the opportunity of supporting her and asked in a low voice: "Aran, what happened?"

Bai Heran shook his head slightly, "How long have they been in the palace?"

Hong said, "I have been away for more than half an hour. I should have arrived in the palace now. What's wrong with A Ran? Is there any problem?"

She still shook her head, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she didn't know what to say. She couldn't just tell the dirty things about Bai Xingyan and Concubine Li Xian. Besides, even if she could say it, everything was just her guess. It might not be certain if something really happened.

"Is it still locked up in Wutong Garden? I'll go and take a look." She didn't let Hongshi go, but instead pulled Hongshi's hand tighter and said softly, "Aunt Hong, don't go far, I have something to tell you later." After that, she let go of Hongshi's hand and walked quickly towards Wutong Garden.

Both Hong and Lin were stunned. It was originally New Year's Eve, and everyone was happy. Hong also made a mercy and made a new set of clothes for Li and Shaw in the mansion. She was not short of money, so she just wanted to watch the festive look.

I originally thought that Bai Heran would go back to the mansion first to see it. They welcomed him at the door. If they hadn't seen anyone coming yet, they would just go directly to the palace. It's nothing. Anyway, I've seen it yesterday, and I said everything I should say, which is not too regretful.

Unexpectedly, Bai Heran returned to the Duke's Mansion as they wished. Hong originally had a large amount of silver notes in her sleeve and wanted to make her New Year's money. As a result, the silver notes were not given out at all. Bai Heran's mood was not as if it was about to celebrate the New Year, so something was going to happen.

Lin was not at the bottom of his heart and asked Hong with a trembling trembling: "Did I just talk about Yan Yu's entry into the palace that made the Second Miss unhappy? You know, the Second Miss has always disagreed with Yan Yu's concern for the fifth prince. Will he get angry because of this?"

Hong shook her head, "I don't know, but I think it's not because of this. The fifth princess went to the princess's mansion yesterday. I saw that the third lady talked to the fifth prince a lot. Didn't the second lady say nothing? Don't think about it, it's definitely not the third lady's business." In fact, Hong hoped that it was because of this, because it was a trivial matter, a family matter, but if there was something else...

Bai Heran walked all the way to Wutong Garden, with Qi Huang and Mo Yu following behind him.

The Duke Wenguo Mansion is not new to Moyu, but it is a bit depressing for Qi Huang.

Fortunately, apart from the maids and servants in the mansion, she did not encounter any other people to disturb her. When she finally arrived at the gate of Wutong Garden, she asked Moyu in a low voice: "Who is this yard?"

Moyu told her: "It is Duke Wen's study room. Duke Wen is the owner of this Duke's mansion and our lady's biological father."

Qi Huang nodded and understood. At the same time, he also remembered what Ji Bo told them about Princess Tianci after being elected to the princess's house.

It is said that Princess Tianci is not close to her biological father, not only is she not close to her, but her relationship is also very bad. Duke Wen Guo did not raise this daughter since he was a child. He abused her for more than ten years and sent her to a relative in Luocheng to live for three years. Princess Tianci suffered a lot since she was a child, and it was all for her father to give her. This situation continued until Princess Tianci returned from Luocheng, and everything changed.

But it was not because of Duke Wen Guo’s change. Duke Wen Guo still had that virtue, but it was Princess Tianci who changed it.

Since they are not a father and daughter with good relationships, why did they come to see him as soon as they came back from Tianci Town? Qi Huang thought to himself, would his lady still care about family affection for this father, and it was the Chinese New Year, so she should come and have a look.

Moyu glanced at Qi Huang, and could guess what Qi Huang was thinking, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart.

Bai Heran's footsteps stopped at the entrance of Wutong Garden. She told Qihuang: "You are here to guard it. No one is allowed to enter when they come, until I come out. Do you understand?"

Qi Huang nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Miss, I understand."

Bai Heran said nothing, and quickly walked into Wutong Garden with Moyu, passed the corridor and walked around the small garden. Soon Qi Huang could no longer see them.

Wutong Garden is guarded by his servants, but he is no longer a slave who is valued by Bai Xingyan, but a person re-arranged by the butler Bai Shun.

After the attack from Bai Heran to Tianci Town, the Hong family also rectified the Duke's Mansion and replaced many unusable slaves, but did not add new people. There were not so many masters in the mansion, so why do they need so many slaves?

There was no sound of slapping the wooden boards in the study. Moyu walked forward and stood by the window. After standing for a while, he turned back and said, "The situation of the Duke of China is not very good. I can hear his breathing, which is very weak. Master, should I open the door and go in and take a look? If the Duke of China's Mansion is really not good, the mansion should also prepare to organize the funeral. But I think it is not good to hold the funeral in the first lunar month. If it is really not good, Miss, please delay it for him. Don't worry about it after the first lunar month!"

Bai Heran really can't let this father die like this, but the reason has nothing to do with whether the funeral will be held in the first lunar month.

What she thought was that Bai Xingyan was a serious sinner. Although he was about to die, he could never die in her hands. Instead, he would save his life to the emperor. Only by revenge can he be repaid by the emperor by himself, otherwise he would just punch the cotton and hold his breath.

"Open the door!" she ordered Moyu, "I'll show him, I can't let someone die like that."

Moyu walked forward and broke the wooden board on the door without saying a word. As for the locks that fell, there was no need for a key. He just cut them with his sword on his side, and cut off the big locks in a few strokes.

When the people inside heard the movement, they made a "ahhh" sound, as if they were shouting something, which sounded very painful.

The door of the room was kicked open by Moyu. As soon as the person was kicked open, he jumped back to Bai Heran, and then pulled Bai Heran to the side.

Soon, a sour smell mixed with moldy air floated out of the door. Even though the two of them had already escaped from a distance, they could still smell the smell. Mo Yu was so disgusting that he covered his nose with his hands, and at the same time he also signaled Bai Heran to cover it.

But before Bai Heran could raise his sleeves, he felt a figure shaking in front of him. The sword shadow appeared from nowhere and stood in front of him. "Master, are you back? Something seems to have happened in Beijing."

"Huh?" Bai Heran's heart skipped a beat, and the bad premonition became stronger again. "What happened?"

Jianying replied: "Last night, the Tenth Highness returned to Shangdu City from Tianci Town. He was called into the palace just after he arrived at the gate of Prince Zun's Mansion. He came out soon after entering the palace, and then hurriedly left the capital, leaving... Luo Ye's direction."

"Luo Ye?" Bai Heran's mind was thinking quickly, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't figure out what his bad premonition had to do with Luo Ye. But why did Jun Mulin suddenly leave Beijing in the middle of the night and go in that direction? If he hadn't been to Luo Ye, where would he go?

She took a step and walked into Bai Xingyan's study.

The unpleasant smell was even more intense, but she no longer had the time to care about the smell. She just walked forward a few steps, walked to the inner room of the study, and stood beside Bai Xingyan's bed.

The Duke Wen Guo in front of him had completely lost his appearance, and he looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies. Not only did his skin be loose and wrinkled, but his hair was gray and his whole body was listless. He was already venting more and he had less energy.

Jianying said: "I have reminded Yingchun not to make trouble for him to soak in water anymore, for fear that he would be soaked to death by accident. But I didn't expect that this Duke Wen Guo was so troublesome, and it became like this in just a few days."

Actually, Bai Heran doesn’t care what this father is like. As long as she has a breath, she can cure the person.

She was just thinking about whether her feelings were accurate or not. If they were not accurate, everything would be easy to say, just when nothing happened. But once it was correct, she had to make an arrangement immediately.

Now it seems that once the matter is indeed as she guessed, the emperor found out about the incident and the fifth prince's life experience, then it is necessary to compensate Bai Xingyan, and she will not feel any pity for her nominal father.

Not to mention that you are not your own father at all, even if you are your own father, you must have the courage to fight against the wrong things you do.

But what she was worried about was that the emperor would be willing to count Bai Xingyan’s account alone?

This must be a serious crime for the heart-killing clan. She originally wanted to delay this matter and give her more time so that she could make more contributions to the Eastern Qin court, so that she could gain more say and have more bargaining chips to protect the people she wanted to save.

When she was in the princess's mansion, she was still wondering how worst this matter could be, who could be saved? Can the ninth prince protect Bai Zhenzhen, Hongshi and Bai Haoxuan, the third uncle can protect the old lady, Jun Lingxi can protect Hongwang, and then the remaining Linshi and Bai Yanyu are supported by Jun Mulin, and she should be able to protect her.
