Bai Tingzhi had already checked everything he needed to check thoroughly, so when the emperor asked this question, he could answer it immediately.
"Your Majesty, do you remember your recent incognito visit? Didn't you punish a few corrupt officials on the way? These people were sent by his son. He had connections with local bandits and usually protected their crimes. After his downfall, those bandits were also in trouble, so they united and planned to seek revenge."
When Bai Tingzhi said this, the emperor instantly remembered what happened at that time.
He did have an impression of this incident. The main thing was that the corrupt official was really bold and arrogant at that time. He was even planning to send someone to kill him secretly. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and nothing happened.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to come back.
The emperor still remembers that group of people very clearly. They were really brutal. If he hadn't had guards there, he would have been scared.
The emperor nodded. "I remember these people, but didn't I already deal with that corrupt official? Are you saying these people were sent by his son to kill me for revenge?"
Are they overestimating themselves? They have no chance of entering the palace, yet they still want to assassinate me. How is that possible? "
Seeing the emperor's confidence, Bai Tingzhi immediately exposed him.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that if this incident had not been discovered in time, you might have had to personally welcome them into the palace to assassinate you."
As soon as Bai Tingzhi finished speaking, the expression on the emperor's face instantly stiffened.
But he couldn't refute it, mainly because it would be useless even if he refuted it because Bai Tingzhi was telling the truth.
"General Bai, how could you ruin my plan like this? I thought they were real,
That’s why I wanted to take them into the palace. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done it.”
The prince asked at the right time.
"Father, what should we do next? Should we let those people into the palace? Or should we just deal with it outside?"
The emperor hesitated for a moment, then looked at Bai Tingzhi.
"My dear, I think you have almost finished arranging this matter. Tell me! I want to hear what you plan to do next and see if there is anything wrong."
Since the emperor said so, Bai Tingzhi did not refuse. He told the emperor everything he had planned.
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we welcome these envoys into the palace as planned. However, after they enter the palace, shouldn't we arrange their destination? I have already asked the escort cavalry to be ready and await your instructions at any time."
Although Bai Tingzhi did not say how to do it specifically, as the king of a country, he must have some brains, so he nodded with satisfaction.
"I understand what you are saying, my dear minister. You should have the escort cavalry enter the palace now! They should ambush around the main hall. When those people start to attack, we can surround them and make it impossible for them to escape."
Bai Tingzhi only then remembered that he had something important to say, so he immediately spoke seriously to the person above him.
"Your Majesty, how many dancers do we have in the palace now?"
Although he didn't know why Bai Tingzhi asked this question at this time, the emperor still shook his head.
How could he know the number of dancers? These things have always been arranged by the queen.
"I don't know about these things either. You have to ask the Queen. She must know everything. After all, she has been arranging these things all along. Did something happen?"
The prince next to him was a little excited when he heard that Bai Tingzhi could go to see the queen. He couldn't help but keep looking at Bai Tingzhi.
The main reason was that during this period, after the queen was imprisoned, the emperor did not agree to let him visit the queen at all.
So when he heard that Bai Tingzhi could go over, he immediately gestured to him, hoping that Bai Tingzhi could understand what he meant.
"Your Majesty, my people told me that a group of people may have already infiltrated the Queen's inner circle and are hiding among the dancers in the palace. That's why I wanted to know how many people there are. If we eliminate these people first, we can avoid a lot of danger."
After hearing what Bai Tingzhi said, the emperor also realized the seriousness of the matter. The main reason was that other people had sneaked into the palace, and the guards in the palace did not even notice it. This was a very serious matter.
"This matter is extremely serious. Go to the Emperor and ask him now! If the guards at the door stop you, show them this token and they will let you in."
After the emperor finished speaking, he reached out and pulled out a token from his waist and threw it to Bai Tingzhi.
Bai Tingzhi looked at the token and suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, I may need the Empress's help in the investigation. After all, these dancers are usually arranged by the Empress's people. The Empress must know more than I do."
After saying this, Bai Tingzhi did not speak again. He lowered his head and waited for the emperor to see what he thought.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
"Alright, I agree to this matter. As for the Queen, let her come out to help with the investigation first. There's no need to confine her anymore. Let's just let her make amends for her crime."
As soon as the emperor said this, the prince next to him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After getting the emperor's consent, Bai Tingzhi took his leave. He planned to go to the queen and ask her to help him confirm the number of people with the dancers.
When the prince saw Bai Tingzhi leaving, he nodded to the emperor, then followed Bai Tingzhi out.
He is now particularly worried about his mother. He wonders how his mother is doing after being locked up for so many days.
The prince is now particularly grateful to Bai Tingzhi. If it weren't for him, his mother might not have been able to come out.
"General Bai, thank you so much. I owe you a favor. If you need any help from me in the future, just let me know."
Bai Tingzhi felt that what he did was actually nothing. He really wanted to help the prince. He knew that the queen was under house arrest and the prince would definitely be very worried, so the first thing he wanted to do was to try to get the emperor to agree to release the queen.
In fact, he was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the emperor to agree.
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. Let's go see the Queen!"
