Seeing that she was almost done, Bai Wutong asked, “What do you see?’
Su Yue could not tell anything. She braced herself and said, “The Consort is very beautiful. She’s a rare beauty in the world.”
Bai Wutong chuckled, and the atmosphere eased a lot. “Can’t you tell who I
Su Yue was so anxious that her head was sweating. The two sentences Bai Wutong had given her must be related to Meng Weiwei.
‘What was the relation…’
Su Yue stared at Bai Wutong again and again. An image suddenly flashed across her mind, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
The more she looked at it, the more familiar it felt. But she was also a little shocked.
…..
Could it be that… Bai Wutong was once the eldest daughter of the Bai family that Meng Weiwei had teased?
But why were their personalities so different? She still could not believe it.
Then why was Bai Wutong only settling scores with them now?
Looking at Su Yue’s frightened expression, she knew that she should have recognized her.
Bai Wutong looked at her lazily. ‘Tell me everything you know.”
Su Yue could not care less and could only kowtow and beg for mercy. “I was just a servant by Meng Weiwei’s side back then. I had no choice but to get someone to push you into the water. Please spare me, please spare me!”
Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows. There was actually such an incident. It was no wonder Meng Weiwei did not dare to reveal her identity at first.
“I want you to tell me in detail!” Bai Wutong lowered her voice.
Su Yue immediately explained the entire story.
Meng Weiwei was holding a flower appreciation banquet in the princess’s residence and was led away by someone. She accidentally saw her beautiful original self cowering in a corner, so she deliberately got someone to knock her into the water.
Fortunately, the water was shallow. The original Bai Wutong got up on her own. Her personal maidservant took off her outer robe in time to prevent her from being exposed.
However, she could not avoid being mocked by everyone.
“Led away by someone?” Bai Wutong narrowed her eyes.
Su Yue hurriedly said, “That’s right, it’s your sister, Consort.”
“She knew that you were hiding behind the fake mountain and deliberately brought Meng Weiwei to discover you so that she could use Meng Weiwei to deal with you.”
Meng Weiwei knew Bai Xinshui’s scheme, but the daughter of a mere fifth- grade official was so much better-looking than her. She really couldn’t stand it, so she got someone to push her into the water, wanting to ruin her reputation and nail her to the pillar of shame.
After the original Bai Wutong returned, she did not appear at the Imperial City banquet again because she had embarrassed her family.
A dark glint flashed across Bai Wutong’s eyes. It seemed that it should not be a surprise for her to appear in the wilderness alone.
After Su Yue finished explaining, Bai Wutong asked Qingfeng, “Do you know about the Bai family under the previous emperor back then?’
The original owner of this body was an invisible person. Now, she could only start her investigation with the Bai family. Qingfeng searched her memories. “Yes.”
Bai Wutong sat up straight and listened carefully to what Qingfeng had told her about the Bai family.
Bai Shining was a fifth-grade editor. Not long after his wife passed away, he immediately promoted his concubine cousin. Later, he was sent to Jingnan Prefecture to be a magistrate. When Emperor Linghui attacked the city, he surrendered. By chance, he had become a second-grade official of the Ling Kingdom.
Qingfeng still had a deep impression of the Bai family. The secondary consort Chu Mingxuan was marrying now was Bai Shining’s second daughter.
Chu Mingxuan was impotent and was still secretly searching for medicine.
She did not expect him to be marrying Bai Xinshui.
They were really fated.
Bai Wutong sneered and instructed Qingfeng, “Send someone to investigate the truth behind my disappearance and my mother’s death.”
“Yes!’
If it had something to do with Bai Xinshui and her mother, Bai Wutong would definitely not let them off easily.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the tent.
When Bai Wutong walked out of the tent, she saw a few highly skilled soldiers break free from the ropes and want to save Gu Chilie. However, they had only run a few steps before they were captured.
They struggled and shouted indignantly. The tens of thousands of soldiers who had woken up also shouted crazily. Their roars shook the sky and reverberated throughout the entire southern frontier.
Bai Wutong looked at the soldiers who were leading and instructed, “Kill them.’
She was worried about Chu Tianbao and did not kill Gu Chilie, but it did not mean that she would be merciful to these people.
The dark guards accepted the order and brought the soldiers who led the trouble to the execution stage. In the next second, their heads fell to the ground.
In an instant, the soldiers fell silent. After a short pause, they cursed at You
Huaijie again.
They just wanted to live a good life. What was wrong with that?
Emperor Linghui was not even willing to give them food. Why should they serve him?
You Huaijie had killed their brothers, so he was a bastard!
There were 80,000 soldiers here. It was impossible to kill all of them.
Moreover, the southern frontier lacked labor the most. Even if they wanted to kill, they could not.
You Huaijie suddenly brought Gu Chilie onto the high platform. Seeing Marshal Gu, whose limbs were weak and could only be manipulated by others, the Gu family army fell into silence and panic again.
You Huaijie shouted at the soldiers, “This is the emperor you’re going to follow.”
With Marshal Gu in this state, what was there to follow?
There had never been a cripple in history who could become an emperor.
Just as the soldiers were at a loss for what to do, the humiliated Marshal Gu suddenly said loudly, “If you bow down to them now, you’ll only be a dog under their feet in the future. Brothers with some guts, fight them to the death!’
Under Marshal Gu’s instigation, many soldiers stood up from the crowd. “Brothers, fight them to the death! Avenge the Marshal!”
As soon as he finished speaking, before the other soldiers could react, the dark guards slashed their heads into the crowd with swords.
The soldier who wanted to stand fell to the ground again.
They were unarmed now and were no match for the dark guards at all.
They were practically seeking deaths!
If they could live, who would want to die?
Bai Wutong did not shut Marshal Gu up because she wanted to remove all the remaining troublemakers in the team.
After instilling fear in the soldiers, You Huaijie gagged Gu Chilie and said to the soldiers, “You rebelled for him and helped him ascend the throne. Do you think you can live a good life?”
“You’re wrong, very wrong! ”
“He can’t even feed you now and you all have to starve every day. When he establishes himself as a king and becomes the emperor of the southern frontier, will you really be able to live a good life after cutting ties with the Central Plain?”
“Even if you can eat your fill by robbing the people of the southern frontier, you’re just a group of fearsome bandits.”
When the soldiers heard him out, they immediately looked confused.
A soldier suddenly said loudly, “We’re not rebelling, and the Imperial Court didn’t give us food. It was the Marshal who led us to dig grass roots and hunt. That’s how we survived until today.”
You Huaijie was not angry, nor did he get someone to gag him. Instead, he got someone to carry the food they had collected over the past few days to the soldiers.
The soldier had not eaten the previous day. When they saw so many tapiocas and seafood, their eyes lit up.
You Huaijie said, “We also don’t have the food distributed by the Imperial Court. But we can feed everyone in the team just by looking for local food in the southern frontier. You’ve been in the southern frontier for so long, but you’ve been starving.. Isn’t this his incompetence?”
