Chapter 183 Reunion

As long as he can find a way to regain his father's favor, revenge for his mother will be just around the corner.

The news of Murong Jueli's arrival in the imperial city reached the palace. At this time, the news that the fifth prince Murong Xunli was pushed into the lake and drowned by a resentful palace servant also reached the ears of Emperor Li.

Bai Mei and Liu Fei were standing on either side of him, serving him meal.

Two pieces of news were delivered to Emperor Li at the same time, and he slammed the table in annoyance.

"You are just a piece of trash. If you die, then die. Don't bother me anymore!"

Bai Mei gently stroked his chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. If you get angry and hurt yourself, I and Sister Liu Fei will be distressed."

Concubine Liu: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you get angry and become ill, the prince in my belly will probably blame me for not taking good care of his father!"

Emperor Li was instantly coaxed into smiling by the two men, and he hugged them on his left and right.

"My beloved concubines are sensible and caring! I am very relieved!"

Liu Fei leaned on his chest, her eyes met Bai Mei's, and the two exchanged glances without saying a word.

Bai Mei said in a delicate voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Fourth Prince was framed by the Third Prince and demoted to a commoner, and then he disappeared."

"Now it seems that the emperor must have foresight and knew that the fourth prince was sincere and kind, so he deliberately demoted him and sent him away from the imperial city to protect him!"

"Your Majesty is truly so wise and powerful. I admire you so much..."

Emperor Li originally looked a little worried when he heard these words, but his expression immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful as soon as the following words came out.

He laughed loudly: "My beloved concubine is indeed smart! She is very popular with me..."

Concubine Liu also echoed the surprise, "I am so stupid that I didn't even think of this. The emperor is really smart!"

The two of them sang in harmony, which made Emperor Li feel relaxed and happy.

He immediately issued an edict to restore the status of the Fourth Prince Murong Jueli, and also sent an edict to summon someone to an audience with the emperor.

After finishing his meal, Emperor Li took Bai Mei back to the imperial study.

Hearing the eunuch's call at the door, Emperor Li quickly let Bai Mei go and sat her down.

Murong Jueli entered the imperial study and immediately knelt down and kowtowed without even looking carefully at the people inside.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. Long live your Highness."

Emperor Li coughed lightly and said, "Get up."

As he stood up, Bai Mei also put down the inkstone in her hand and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

Hearing this familiar voice, Murong Jueli looked towards her happily.

Seeing Bai Mei dressed in gorgeous palace concubine's attire, he was struck by lightning and stood there in disbelief.

When Emperor Li saw him like this, he looked suspicious and asked, "How come my son knows Liu Yiren?"

Bai Mei calmly replied, "Your Majesty, when I first came to the Imperial City to look for my relatives, I encountered some hooligans and happened to meet the Fourth Prince."

"The Fourth Prince is a kind and upright man. He called his servants to help me drive away the ruffians. Only then was I able to find my relatives safely."

Emperor Li also remembered that his fourth son was always keen on saving orphans, women, children and the weak. He used to dislike Murong Jueli for being too cowardly.

Now it seems that this is a real advantage.

If his other sons could be kinder and more generous, they wouldn't be dead, disabled, or disfigured today.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't sad at all, after all, I have raised each of them for more than ten years.

"Speaking of which, Jue Li is still your lifesaver, my beloved concubine. Not bad, not bad!"

Bai Mei: "The Fourth Prince is so outstanding, it's all thanks to the Emperor's good teaching."

Murong Jueli's expression became increasingly ugly, and his smile became increasingly stiff.

Apparently, he was able to come back and become a prince again, all thanks to Bai Mei's help.

Looking at the scene before him, a seed of unwillingness was planted in Murong Jueli's heart.

He thought, it would be great if his father died...

If only he could be the crown prince...

If only he could become the emperor...

This way, Bai Mei will be his...

"Your Majesty, you and the Fourth Prince have not seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot of personal conversations to share. I will withdraw first."

Emperor Li was very satisfied with her understanding and obedience. "Okay, you go back first. I will go to your palace later."

After he finished speaking, Murong Jueli came back to his senses. He lowered his head and quickly suppressed his emotions.

Bai Mei bowed to him calmly and left the imperial study.

In the Eighth Prince's Palace.

Two days ago, she was playing with the beautiful palace maid with the Seventh Prince. Unexpectedly, they both fainted at the same time after entering the bedroom.

When he woke up again, only the stripped Seventh Prince was left.

When I sniffed again, I found that the person was dead and his body was cold.

The eighth prince was so frightened that he peed on the spot.

Later, a brave eunuch from outside the palace went in and calmed the man down.

It was not until the Seventh Prince was no longer so panicked that everyone left his palace.

The body was then disposed of and buried in the flower garden. The courageous eunuch was promoted to the chief personal eunuch, and someone was sent to secretly search for the palace maid.

Just when they were happy that there was one less candidate for the throne, the only ones left were the little bastard born to Concubine Yue and the baby in Concubine Liu's belly.

Within two or three days, news came that Murong Jueli had returned.

The Eighth Prince was so angry that his teeth were itching.

The eunuch next to him rolled his eyes and whispered something in his ear.

The eighth prince smiled again, with a sinister smile on his face.

On the other side, inside the Seventh Prince's Palace.

With their master missing, the eunuchs and maids in the palace were all in panic and worried.

After hiding it for two or three days, I finally couldn't hide it anymore.

When the news reached the imperial study, Murong Jueli had just left, and Emperor Li was also preparing to go to the harem to have some fun.

This time I was stuck again.

When Murong Jueli heard the news from the eunuch, he turned around and headed towards the harem.

Bai Mei was leaning leisurely on the chaise longue, playing with the belt that she had taken off Murong Jueli.

She had thrown away the clothes long ago, but kept the belt.

Now is the time to use it.

She had sent all the maids in the bedroom elsewhere in advance, and only her personal maid was guarding outside the door.

As soon as Murong Jueli walked to the door of the bedroom, his personal maid lowered her head and welcomed him in.

Bai Mei's ears twitched slightly, and she immediately leaned on the couch, with her hands holding her belt hanging down on the edge of the couch, and she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

But his brows were slightly furrowed, and there seemed to be a hint of tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he had had a nightmare and was very uneasy.

This was the scene Murong Jueli saw as soon as he came in.

Looking at the familiar belt in her hand and her pitiful appearance, he felt very distressed.

He walked lightly to the chaise longue and squatted down, then he reached out his hand and gently stroked her delicate face.

This action woke people up immediately.

As soon as Bai Mei opened her eyes, the tears that had been hanging in the corners of her eyes and about to fall instantly slid down her cheeks.
