Little Mingzhu stared at the man in black over there with sparkling eyes, showing no fear at all.
The queen had already handed the little pearl to Bai Tingzhi's arms the moment she saw the man in black.
The queen knew her own limitations. The child was in her arms and she couldn't protect him. The child might even get hurt, so her first reaction was to hand over Xiao Mingzhu.
With General Bai around, she believed that he would definitely protect Princess Changning.
The prince immediately stood in front of the queen.
"Mother, please step back a little. Don't get too close to me. These people are coming for me. If you get too close to me, they might accidentally hurt you."
The queen was very surprised by the prince's words. She felt as if the prince knew in advance that there was an ambush here.
The queen wanted to ask, but the situation was urgent, so she didn't dare to ask too much.
What she was thinking was that after this matter was resolved, she would ask the prince to find out what was going on.
Bai Tingzhi couldn't help but frowning as he looked at the men in black who kept emerging. He estimated that there were no less than 20 of them.
And it might be more than that. Bai Tingzhi didn't expect that the Third Emperor would have such great abilities.
He was able to bring so many people into the palace quietly. It seems that he still underestimated the third prince.
"Your Majesty, with so many people here, we may not be able to suppress them all at once. Please take the Queen and leave from the back. I will stay here."
After saying this, Bai Tingzhi was also prepared to let the prince take the little pearl in his arms away first. After all, if a fight breaks out, swords and knives have no mercy, and what if he gets hurt accidentally?
Bai Tingzhi would never let this happen no matter what.
When this happened, the first thing he thought of was not himself, but the safety of Xiao Mingzhu and Mrs. Bai.
But when he was about to hand little Mingzhu to the prince, little Mingzhu pulled his clothes hard and refused to let go.
"Daddy has so many black people. The ones you brought here can't beat them. You asked Guaiguai to stay. Guaiguai can help you."
When Bai Tingzhi heard Xiao Mingzhu's words, he thought of what happened last time, hesitated for a moment, and finally hugged Xiao Mingzhu back instead of handing her over to the prince.
These people were originally coming for him. The prince felt that he could not leave like this, so he asked Wang Deguo, who was beside him, to send the queen and Madam Bai away first, and he stayed.
Seeing that the prince had made all the arrangements himself, Bai Tingzhi didn't say anything more.
Mrs. Bai was reluctant to leave at first, but seeing Bai Tingzhi winking at her, she finally gritted her teeth and left with the Queen.
She knew that as a woman, she would only be a burden to them if she stayed, so it would be better for her to leave while she still had the chance.
When leaving, Mrs. Bai Yi said something silently to Bai Tingzhi.
She told Bai Tingzhi to protect the child no matter what.
Mrs. Bai didn't need to say anything about this matter. Even if it cost him his life, he would protect his child.
After Mrs. Bai left, Bai Tingzhi finally felt much more relieved. Otherwise, he would have to take care of Mrs. Bai and the little baby in his arms, and he really couldn't do it all at once.
"General Bai, those men in black are coming. What should we do now?"
Bai Tingzhi looked at so many men in black surrounding him and could only let his men fight.
However, the number of men in black was really too large, and Bai Tingzhi's men were simply unable to resist them. When Bai Tingzhi was about to order his men to retreat first, Xiao Mingzhu spoke.
"Daddy, just take care of the people in the north. Leave the people in the south to Guai Guai. Guai Guai will make sure they don't dare come up again."
After saying this, Xiao Mingzhu began to look for suitable medicinal powder. After searching for a while, she found the muscle-loosening powder.
If a person gets even a little bit of this powder on them, they will lose all strength and will collapse to the ground.
The moment Xiao Mingzhu took out the medicine powder, she silently recited in her mind the intended users of the medicine powder.
Before Bai Tingzhi could react, the people in the south instantly fell to the ground in a disorderly manner. When Bai Tingzhi looked over, those people had already fallen to the ground.
This really surprised him, but the most important thing now was to get rid of the remaining men in black.
Xiao Mingzhu also had her considerations. She knew that she couldn't attack all the men in black at once, otherwise others would definitely become suspicious.
The people on the other side were also dealt with by the people brought by Bai Tingzhi.
"Take all these people to the dungeon and interrogate them thoroughly to find out who ordered them to do these things."
Before Bai Tingzhi's men could get close, they all committed suicide.
"General, not a single one of them survived. We were a step too slow. They all bit through the poison in their mouths and committed suicide."
When he heard the news, Bai Tingzhi took a deep breath and could only speak helplessly.
"Let's clean up the scene first, and then investigate these people thoroughly."
Although Bai Tingzhi knew that it was the Third Prince who sent the people, he had no evidence, so he had to start the investigation again.
"Your Highness, it's all my fault. I frightened you."
The prince shook his head. He knew about this kind of thing and could not blame General Bai at all.
"General Bai, you don't have to blame yourself. This is not your fault at all. If you want to blame anyone, you can only blame the person who ordered these men in black. It's all because he was too cunning."
The prince looked at the men in black lying motionless on the ground in the south, and couldn't help but look at Bai Tingzhi with some confusion and asked.
"General Bai, what happened to these people just now? Why did they suddenly lie on the ground and can't get up?"
Bai Tingzhi certainly knew what was going on, but he definitely couldn't tell the prince about this.
So at this time, he could only pretend to be stupid.
When asked this by the prince, he immediately shook his head, and a look of surprise instantly filled his eyes.
"Are you talking about the group of people who just collapsed? I don't know what's going on! What did the people whose heads weren't the prince's do to them?
When I saw them fall, the first thing I thought of was whether the prince's men had done something.
But now, looking at your reaction, Prince, could it be that those men in black have suddenly been possessed by evil spirits?"
The prince was also very surprised. He had no idea what had happened to those men in black and why they suddenly became like that.
