Chang 'an City was as prosperous as ever under the night sky.
The ancient city was like a giant beast crawling on the bank of the Wei River in the Guanzhong Plain. The lights in the city were as bright as the stars in the night sky.
Unlike the market that was full of red smoke and fire, the palace city in the north of Chang 'an was still brightly lit, but it lacked the atmosphere of the human world.
In the Great Ming Palace.
On the peak of the Supporting Star Pavilion beside the Bathing Hall.
Leaning on the railing, the emperor was dressed in bright yellow clothes, allowing the evening wind to blow his long hair and clothes.
Although he was no longer young, he still had a handsome and elegant face. His deep eyes looked at the distant lights.
The night was dark blue. Under the bright moon and the stars, Chang 'an was a prosperous city.
At a certain moment, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, the graceful Empress Gu Lan arrived beside Bai Changge.
She placed the cloak in her hand over Bai Changge and then carefully tied the belt for him.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. It's cold at night. Be careful of the cold.”
The Emperor smiled gently, held the Empress's waist, and bent down to kiss her forehead.
Standing up and pointing at the grand scene in front of him, the Emperor said,""Lan, what do you think of this world?”
Gu Lan gently leaned into Bai Changge's arms, trying to use her body temperature to warm Bai Changge up.
"It's naturally very good. Your Majesty has ruled for many years, and the people of the world are all indebted to Your Majesty's heavenly grace.”
The Emperor was silent, then waved his hand.
The eunuchs and palace maids standing in the pavilion immediately retreated silently, leaving only the Emperor and Empress at the highest point of the pavilion.
After a while, Gu Lan suddenly asked,"Is Your Majesty worried about Silang?"
"Silang..."
Bai Changge's smile was somewhat meaningful.
"Lan, do you really believe the news that Silang is seriously injured?”
"Hmm?"
"The Zhu family's servant girl may not be known to others, but I know very well that she is not a weak woman who has no strength to tie up a chicken. In fact, there are very few generals in the court who are her opponents."”
Bai Changge looked at the empress who had accompanied her for many years with a faint smile and hugged her even tighter.
"Lan, you've been deceived by that girl.”
"This is really…ChenQie is guilty.”
"What crime have you committed?"
Bai Changge shook her head.
Thinking of Zhu Menghuang, Gu Lan couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, she didn't quite believe the news that Bai Musheng was seriously injured.
No one understood Bai Musheng better than her and the emperor.
As the Empress, even if the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, Gu Lan had her own ways to support the Emperor's will in the previous dynasty.
For the time being, he thought that Shiro was really injured.
Thinking of the various postures of some of the women in the court when they entered the palace to pay their respects to her in recent days, a hint of killing intent flashed across Gu Lan's eyes.
Suddenly, Gu Lan heard Bai Changge say faintly,
"Ah Lan, actually…I really hope that Si Lang is not Si Lang."”
"Your Majesty?"
"You should also know about Lan. Strictly speaking, it should be San Lang instead of Si Lang.”
Gu Lan seemed to have thought of something. Her expression changed slightly when she connected it to some news in recent days.
"Look at the beautiful rivers and mountains." Bai Changge released Gu Lan's arm and gently held her hand."How beautiful?”
"I rule the world, and I have Ah Lan by my side. If I can personally hand this world over to Ah Lan's child, I will have no regrets in my life.”
It would be a lie to say that she was not touched.
There were very few concubines in the Emperor's harem, and the limited number of concubines were only brought into the palace to balance the situation in the court. For so many years, the Emperor spent at least half of his time in her chambers every month.
For an emperor, this was already the limit of what he could do.
Otherwise, if she favored the Empress alone, it would attract criticism from the officials and the world would label her as the Demon Empress who charmed the Ruler.
Gu Lan felt complicated.
The Crown Prince was also filial in the past.
However, in the end, he was still forced into this situation step by step by his father, whom he respected.
Although this was extremely unfair to the crown prince, who had never made any mistakes, Gu Lan could vaguely guess Bai Changge's intentions when she started to let Bai Musheng slowly take control of the military.
She was mentally prepared.
"Your Majesty…ChenQie is still a little selfish.”
Closing her eyes, Gu Lan decided not to think about this anymore.
Bai
Mu Yun returned to the Eastern Palace with a livid face.
When she saw Bai Mu Yun walk in, the Crown Princess immediately went up to her.
"Your Highness, you…what happened to you?”
"Hmph!"
Bai Mu Yun's face darkened as she entered the room and sat down. After the Crown Princess poured a cup of tea for her, she picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. In the end, she threw the teacup in her hand away.
The Crown Princess 'heart sank.
She knew that the Crown Prince had been very uncomfortable these days.
Ever since the news of Bai Musheng's death spread to Chang 'an, the atmosphere in the imperial court had become strange.
The officials of the Crown Prince's faction couldn't help but be overjoyed, but the members of the King Chu squadron all looked like they had lost their parents.
There were even some people who had begun to show their goodwill to the Crown Prince.
Bai Mu Yun was originally very pleased with himself, but the news he received from his spy in the army made his expression change drastically.
It was fine that Bai Musheng didn't die, but he actually knew about his collusion with Gongri Niexi.
Not only that, but a few spies had also been found out!
After learning of this news, Bai Muyun immediately sent out the men of sacrifice she had trained to intercept and kill Bai Musheng, who was secretly rushing back to Chang 'an. At the same time, she kept investigating the whereabouts of the people Bai Musheng sent back to report.
However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find out where the person who reported the news was.
"Father's attitude towards me is getting worse…"
Bai Mu Yun's voice was a little hoarse. His face was no longer as calm as before. Instead, it was filled with viciousness, causing the Crown Princess Consort sitting beside him to tremble in fear.
"Fourth Bro…good move! "I'm afraid Father already knows something…"
After pondering for a moment, Bai Mu Yun turned her head to look at the Bathing Hall of the Great Ming Palace.
Veins bulged on his clenched fists.
"Father…don't blame me for being ruthless.”
"You forced me to do this!"
