What you fear will come to you.
"Master! Behind me!"
Just as Bai Cheng was scolding his concubine with his back to the last open window, he suddenly heard her screaming and shouting. Bai Cheng frowned slightly and turned around, only to see a white shadow disappear in front of him.
"Master!" The concubine crawled to Bai Cheng's side and said in surprise: "Did you see it? Right behind you, that was the late crown prince--"
Before the concubine could finish her words, Bai Cheng slapped her hard in the face.
Bai Cheng's expression was so gloomy that it was almost terrifying. He said in a cold voice, "If you mention the late crown prince again, I will throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves! Shut up, do you hear me?"
The concubine was so scared that she covered her face and nodded repeatedly.
"Oh? Commander Bai, why did you suddenly think of my late brother?"
Situ Yao's voice, tinged with a hint of laughter, came from outside. He walked in and saw the concubine lying on the ground with her hands covering her face. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Commander Bai doesn't cherish his concubine that much. I heard someone screaming miserably when I passed by. I wonder what happened?"
"Your Highness," Bai Cheng glared at the concubine before bowing to Situ Yao and saying perfunctorily, "It's just that this woman had a nightmare and disturbed Your Highness. Please forgive me."
"Commander Bai's beloved concubine actually dreamed of the emperor... Could it be that the emperor told her in a dream? What did you dream about?" Situ Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his concubine with a smile on his face.
"I, I..."
The concubine was so frightened by Bai Cheng that she dared not speak.
"It's just some nonsense, Your Highness doesn't need to take it to heart." Bai Cheng glared at his concubine and spoke first.
Situ Yao was quite interested in this. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his concubine, saying with a smile, "The imperial mausoleum is different from other places. Perhaps my brother has something to say in my dream, so I'd better ask clearly."
"Situ Yao is overthinking it. Even if the former crown prince had something to say, he should have sent it to you, Your Highness, in a dream. Why would he send it to my concubine in a dream?" Bai Cheng didn't buy his tricks, and his voice was a little cold when he spoke.
"You're right."
This reaction made Bai Cheng stunned. How could Situ Yao give in so quickly?
"Since it's not convenient for me to ask about women, let's ask someone else," Situ Yao patted Su Mengyan's shoulder and said, "You can ask Commander Bai's concubine what she dreamed about."
Su Mengyan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She finally understood why Situ Yao had brought her here.
She sighed softly, took a step forward resignedly, and said, "Miss, what did you dream about?"
Before Bai Cheng could speak to stop him, the candle in the room went out in an instant.
Immediately, a man's voice was heard in the room.
"It's so unfair to die alone..."
"Royal brother?" Situ Yao was a little anxious. "Royal brother, is that you? Do you have anything to say to me? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Please tell me."
However, Bai Cheng's concubine couldn't control herself anymore and screamed, "Your Highness! I really don't know anything. Don't come looking for me! Every wrong has its perpetrator. Go find the person who killed you!"
In an instant, the room was in chaos.
Su Mengyan guessed that this was arranged by Situ Yao, and silently took a step back, wanting to stay away from this place of trouble.
This part is not written in the script!
Although in the original novel, the Bai family also killed the former crown prince, Situ Yao also cleared the former crown prince's name.
But that was because Cui Mixue accidentally found out that it was Concubine Bai who did it, so Situ Yao was able to successfully outmaneuver the Second Prince and Concubine Bai.
Situ Yao knows nothing now and has no way to deal with them.
Su Mengyan felt a little headache.
"Playing tricks!" Bai Cheng snorted coldly and took out a fire starter from his arms. The moment he opened it, he saw a face.
The familiar yet unfamiliar face was that of the former crown prince.
Although Bai Cheng didn't scream, he was so scared that his hands shook and he dropped the fire starter on the ground.
I don’t know what it got on, but the house immediately caught fire.
"The fire is happening!"
Someone was shouting outside, and the concubine inside the room was crying and saying that it had nothing to do with her. Su Mengyan was a little troubled and was thinking about just slipping away.
Just as I was about to step back, I felt a hand on my waist.
Situ Yao's voice rang softly beside Su Mengyan's ears: "Selectwoman Su, are you afraid too?"
Without waiting for Su Mengyan to speak, Situ Yao took her out and said softly as he walked, "Follow me."
In this chaotic time, his voice actually made Su Mengyan feel a little relieved.
The incident of the late Crown Prince lasted all night. The next morning, Situ Yao and Su Mengyan looked energetic and cheerful. Only Bai Cheng had very obvious dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion did not look very good.
"Did Lord Bai not sleep well last night?" Situ Yao asked, his tone full of concern. He sighed, "I didn't expect Commander Bai's concubine and the emperor to be so destined to be together. I just don't understand... What exactly did the emperor mean by 'so unfair'? Does Commander Bai know?"
Bai Cheng had a cold face and said, "I don't know, Your Highness, can we go now?"
Because there was a lot of noise all night yesterday, I don’t know whether I was scared to death or fell asleep this morning because I was too sleepy.
It's quiet now, as if this person doesn't exist.
After a night of turmoil, Baicheng had no chance to take action. He was thinking about how to report back, but he didn't expect that problems would arise again at the city gate.
I don't know what happened, but the road into the city was blocked.
