"General Bai, you mean that the current situation of these people was not arranged by you, nor was it arranged by me! What is going on? Or do we need someone to help us in secret?"
As soon as the prince said this, Bai Ting subconsciously glanced at the little baby in his arms.
Sure enough, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw the little girl smiling mischievously, looking extremely cute.
[I am who I am. I am the mysterious person. I will keep my mystery. You will never be able to guess who I am.]
When Xiao Mingzhu said this, she was a little excited and kept waving her hands.
Seeing how cute little Mingzhu was, Bai Tingzhi almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Fortunately, he held back in the end, otherwise Xiao Mingzhu might have discovered his secret.
Bai Tingzhi paused for a moment before suppressing the smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, there's nothing else to do now. Today is the Queen's birthday banquet, so this matter is more important. Let's clean up this place and then investigate the next matter."
The prince agreed very much with Bai Tingzhi's opinion. The most important thing for him now was to get rid of the corpses here so that no one would see them.
The Queen and her companions were now staying in the Queen's bedroom. There were also some ministers' wives and daughters inside. As soon as they saw the Queen coming back, they immediately went to greet her.
When they saw the queen's pale face and nervous expression, they didn't dare to say anything.
I could only watch silently as the queen came to her phoenix chair and sat down, without saying a word the whole time.
The wives and daughters of these ministers waited for a long time, but seeing that the queen still had no intention of speaking, they could no longer sit still.
This time they will bring their daughter into the palace. The first reason is indeed to celebrate the queen's birthday, but this is not the most important thing.
The most important thing for them to do when entering the palace this time is to become the crown prince's princess.
The Queen had already intentionally revealed that when they entered the palace this time, they should bring along girls of appropriate age from their families, just to make it easier for the Emperor to help the Crown Prince choose a concubine.
But now so much time has passed and the queen still hasn't mentioned this matter, which really makes them all anxious.
A gorgeously dressed woman paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and took a step forward for the sake of the subsequent glory and wealth.
She looked at the queen above and spoke anxiously.
"Empress, regarding the matter of selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince that you mentioned, do you think we can start now?"
After the woman said this, she looked at the queen above with some anticipation.
She originally thought that since she had spoken so directly, the Queen would definitely remember to take care of this matter.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she finished speaking, she was scolded by the queen.
"This is my own business. I can start it whenever I want. What qualifications do you have to order me to send someone to take her away and give her twenty lashes of the cane to teach her a lesson?"
The woman was dumbfounded when she heard that she was going to be beaten. She didn't know what she had done wrong.
"Her Majesty, spare me! Her Majesty, spare me! If you give me twenty lashes of the cane, I will definitely die!"
The woman had been begging desperately, but it was just her bad luck that she never said anything at any other time, but had to say it when the queen was in a bad mood.
This gave the Queen a good opportunity to vent her anger.
Now the queen has no mood for this matter at all.
She had to wait until the prince returned safely before she could feel at ease.
"We'll decide this matter later when the Crown Prince comes. Now just do what you need to do and don't bother me anymore, or I won't be polite to you."
As soon as the queen said this, no one present dared to say another word. Some of them were afraid that if they said one more word, they would be dragged out and beaten with a stick like the woman just now.
Beating with a stick is a very terrifying thing for people like them. Now they dare not rush to be the first to take action.
Everyone below was sitting in fear, while the Queen and Madam Bai above were praying hard. What they hoped most now was that the Prince and his companions would return safely.
The prince is the queen's life. If something really happens to the prince, the queen feels that she may not survive either.
At this time, the third prince on the other side received the news that the plan had failed.
His eyes suddenly went dark and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, there was a servant nearby, who supported Li Yunyu as quickly as possible, so he did not faint.
Li Yunyu took a long time to calm down, but his eyes were still wide open, and he looked at the person who came to report with disbelief on his face.
"You said that all our men were wiped out. How is that possible? We are all top-notch masters. How could we be defeated so easily?
What's more, we have so many people going there. If the whole army is wiped out, we will suffer a great loss.
This is a team that I, the prince, spent a lot of money to train. Why would something like this happen?"
The servant who came to report did not dare to say anything more. After saying everything he needed to say, he stepped aside and did not dare to say another word.
The Third Prince has a very bad temper, which is recognized by everyone. If he says a few more words and the Third Prince becomes dissatisfied, his head may have to be moved, so the most important thing now is to speak less.
"Third Prince, could it be that old fellow Bai Tingzhi knew our plan in advance, just like last time? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense!"
An old man with a gray beard beside the crown prince suddenly spoke up. In fact, all the things the third prince did could not escape the instigation of him behind the scenes.
Otherwise, the Third Prince himself would never have come up with such a thing.
"Master Wang, what do you think we should do now? All these important people are gone. Is there really any way we can take over this world?"
Wang Moushi saw that Li Yunyu seemed a little discouraged and immediately spoke.
"Young Master, you need to think carefully about your mother.
Empress Mei, the princess of our country, how did she die? Do you want to avenge her?
If you want to avenge the princess, you have to fight them, even if it means getting hurt."
