The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 142: Life at stake
In this case, let Bai Jinxiu lead the people to praise the emperor for not showing favoritism and being impartial! He was also merciless to his legitimate son, Prince Xin, and was the most wise emperor in the world!
Let the Bai family lead the people in shouting, believing that the emperor will fairly punish King Liang who intended to slander the Bai family!
The emperor heard the people’s praises. The emperor, who was greedy for fame, didn’t like the timid prince Liang Wang. Wouldn’t he punish Liang Wang for the sake of a good reputation? !
Bai Qingyan wants the people to wear their hats high for the emperor!
Force is not just about the last time when the drum was beaten, which was a strong and aggressive way to confront each other. The high hat of virtue is often more frightening, but it has to be worn.
The emperor sat on the supreme throne and feared the people’s gossip and the historians’ criticism more than anyone else.
She nodded and bowed solemnly: “Thank you for your hard work, mother and aunts!”
After watching her mother and her aunts and sisters walk towards Wude Gate along with the people of Dadu, she followed the Grand Princess into the carriage.
The grandparents and grandchildren sat in the car.
The eldest princess, whose hair turned gray as if she had aged ten years overnight, closed her eyes, pursed her thin lips tightly, and kept turning the rosary carved from agarwood in her hand.
Bai Qingyan also sat obediently on one side, as quiet as water.

Prince Liang was restless in his mansion today. Tong Ji had been gone for several hours. Every time he sent people to check… they said that Tong Ji was still standing outside the corner gate of the Duke’s Mansion waiting, but he had not seen the maidservant.
Although Gao Sheng had controlled Liu Huanzhang, Liu Huanzhang was worried about his wife and children and could not wait to report the Duke of Zhenguo Bai Weiting for treason.
As long as Chunyan can successfully bring those letters into the Duke’s Mansion today, even if it is not the Duke’s study, as long as the letters are in the Duke’s Mansion… plus Liu Huanzhang’s testimony, given his father’s fear of the Bai family and his dissatisfaction with Bai Qingyan’s behavior in recent days, the Bai family’s stigma of treason can be established!
If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn’t know when he could crush the Bai family into the mud.
As for using Bai Qingyan, after all the women of the Bai family were captured, he would find a way to rescue Bai Qingyan and one or two women of the Bai family. He didn’t believe that Bai Qingyan would not be devoted to him.
King Liang’s emotions were surging. He closed his eyes, coughed violently a few times, and wrapped his cloak tightly around himself.
When he opened his eyes again, King Liang’s eyes were filled with coldness and cruelty.
As long as the century-old reputation of the Bai family can be destroyed, it would be considered revenge for Concubine Tong and the Second Emperor!
As for using Bai Qingyan’s military merits to pave the way for the position of the Supreme in the future, he now has become much less interested in such an idea.
This assassination attempt hurt him, and he didn’t know if he would be able to take that position in the future. Bai Qingyan now showed her disgust for him without hiding it, and said in front of the people that she would not marry him even if Ming was married. King Liang really couldn’t figure out… what exactly he had done wrong to make Bai Qingyan’s attitude towards him suddenly change.
“Your Highness! Something has happened to Your Highness!” The old man who was the housekeeper of Prince Liang’s Mansion stood at the door of the study and shouted.
King Liang frowned and said, “Come in and tell me!”
The housekeeper of Prince Liang’s mansion came in quickly, bowed and said, “Your Highness, Tong Ji went to the corner gate of the Duke’s mansion to see Miss Bai’s personal maid, and was caught by the Duke’s mansion’s nanny. It happened that they met the funeral procession and the matter was brought to the attention of the Grand Princess. As a result, the letter you wrote was opened in public, and it turned out to be the correspondence between the King of Zheng and the Prince of Nanyan. The so-called personal letter of the King of Zheng was in the handwriting of Emperor Gaozu! Miss Bai said in public that you once asked her for the military book annotated by the Duke, and she gave you the military book annotated by Emperor Gaozu to show that she did not want to have any contact with you!”
A military book annotated by Emperor Gaozu?!
The book that Bai Qingyan gave him was actually the military book annotated by Emperor Gaozu? !
Prince Liang clenched his fists tightly, his heart beat violently, and he almost lost his balance and staggered back a step.
“Your Highness!” The housekeeper of Prince Liang’s mansion hurried forward to support Prince Liang, “Your Highness, are you okay?!”
Prince Liang had a severe headache and his heart was pounding as if it was going to break the wound that had just healed.
“Where is Tong Ji?!” King Liang asked subconsciously.
“The eldest princess brought the letter, Tong Ji, and the maid to the palace to see His Majesty!” The steward of Prince Liang’s mansion had a trembling voice.
Entering the palace?!
He needs to calm down and think of a solution!
Even if it was Emperor Gaozu’s handwriting, it could be said that Bai Weiting used Emperor Gaozu’s handwriting when he was cautiously communicating with the King of Southern Yan. However, the letter was searched out from Tong Ji, which was more troublesome.
The housekeeper of Prince Liang’s mansion was in a panic: “Your Highness, what should we do? Someone must be trying to slander your Highness! Tong Ji must have been tricked by someone! If your Highness can hold on… you still have to go to the palace and explain to His Majesty!”
Prince Liang, with a gloomy face, suddenly looked up at the butler. In a flash, he thought of a perfect saying and shook the butler’s hand vigorously.
What he gave to Tong Ji must be a love letter. He just admired the eldest daughter of the Bai family and wanted to marry her. As for how the letter in Tong Ji’s hand became a letter from the Duke and the Prince of Nanyan, he had no idea. He just had to pretend to be stupid in front of his father, pretend to be frightened, and pretend to know nothing.
Gao Sheng was asked to save the entire Liu family as a condition, and to take Liu Huanzhang to the Dali Temple to beat the drum to personally prove that the Duke of Zhenguo was treasonous. He said that he risked his life to come back just to make the truth known to the world, so he exchanged the love letter in Tong Ji’s hand after learning of King Liang’s intentions.
Although there are records of the march, Liu Huanzhang risked his life to come back and point out the truth about the deceased Bai Weiting. People would probably think more about it, and the emperor would have an excuse to review the case.
Prince Xin is the legitimate son of the emperor. Don’t the emperor and the queen want to protect Prince Xin? ! The appearance of Liu Huanzhang is the turning point for the matter of Prince Xin.
Even though my father only wanted to be a wise and benevolent ruler… he was unwilling to admit that his imperial decree to make Bai Weiting a king was wrong, so he gave up on his legitimate son, Prince Xin.
But the appearance of Liu Huanzhang will always leave a stain on the Bai family’s reputation for loyalty and righteousness!
King Liang closed his eyes and thought carefully. As long as he could get rid of him this time, he could slowly plot against him in the future. As long as he was alive… he could always tear off the Bai family’s loyal skin, trample the Bai family into the mud, and let everyone spit on them.
Time was running out and King Liang had no time to think. He said to the butler, “Ask Tian Weijun to come here immediately! Quick!”
“Yes!” The housekeeper hurried out to call Tian Weijun.
King Liang stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the pen and wrote a few simple words to Gao Sheng. He had just blown the ink dry and folded it when Tian Weijun came hurriedly.
King Liang handed the letter to Tian Weijun and said, “Time is running out and I don’t have time to tell you to pass it on! Go and give this to Gao Sheng and have him do it! No mistakes! Lives are at stake! Hurry!”
