Chapter 1143 Out of Control 2
Yin Huo and Bai Erlang were stopped at the palace gate, and they could not leave even though they had the queen's badge in their hands.
Firstly, they were strangers, and secondly, a birthday banquet was being held inside, and the guards at the door did not dare to let anyone out.
If it were normal, I could just go in and out with my badge, but today it’s not possible.
So the two of them were entangled for a long time and couldn't get out. The eunuch who sent them here was only responsible for sending them to the palace gate, but he didn't dare to guarantee anything for them on behalf of Princess Mingda.
Just as they were getting entangled, a little palace maid came over with her head lowered and showed a sign to the guard at the gate.
The general checked the sign, glanced at Yin Huo and Bai Erlang, and stepped aside to let them out.
Yin Huo and Bai Erlang both looked at the young palace maid, and Bai Erlang asked directly, "Who are you?"
The young palace maid put the sign away and whispered, "Gentlemen, hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, you might not be able to leave."
When Yin Huo heard this, he immediately pulled Bai Erlang away.
There were many carriages parked outside the palace gate. The drivers were sitting on their own shafts waiting, or some familiar people were gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
As Bai Erlang and his companions emerged from the palace gate, everyone could not help but look over. Daji, who was waiting in the distance, saw them and immediately drove forward in his carriage. He glanced behind them and asked in confusion, "Master Tang, where are the young master and Miss Man?"
Bai Erlang helped Yin Huo into the car, quickly climbed in himself, and whispered, "Daji, go home quickly."
Daji's eyes fixed, he turned his head to look at the palace gate, turned his horse's head, and whipped it in the air to make the horse run faster.
Theirs was the only carriage galloping along the entire Imperial Avenue, so Daji ordered his horse to gallop without hesitation. After leaving the Imperial City, it was the Inner City, and there were pedestrians on the street. He slowed down a little, but still ran very fast. He shouted at people to make way and ran all the way back to Changqing Lane.
Before the carriage stopped, Bai Erlang lifted the curtain. As soon as the horse neighed and stopped, he jumped off the carriage, pushed open the door and ran inside.
Yin Huo had just opened the curtain and only had time to see his back.
Bai Erlang ran all the way to the backyard, where Mr. Zhuang was playing chess with Old Madam Liu. There was nothing they could do, as they were worried about the children and had nothing to do, so they could only play chess.
Bai Erlang rushed into the backyard, startling Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu. They asked, "Erlang, why are you back?"
Bai Erlang's tears immediately flowed. He threw himself on the ground and knelt, wiping his tears as he said, "Sir, my great-aunt, they've gone to file a complaint. Manbao asked me to tell you that today is a very good day. Ministers from the court and even the heads of various aristocratic families are here."
Madam Liu's face turned pale, and her hands began to tremble slightly. "But, but today is the Queen Mother's birthday. What happened to you in the palace?"
Mr. Zhuang's mind raced. He calculated the time it took to get from the palace to Changqing Lane and interrupted Madam Liu, saying, "Madam, now is not the time to get to the bottom of this. If we hesitate, we will only cause chaos. Let's go find them."
Old Madam Liu couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
She had been thinking about this matter for twelve years, and had been looking forward to it for twelve years. But when the time came, she was a little scared. Bai Shan was still in the palace, and he was still in the palace...
"Old Madam," Mr. Zhuang called out to bring her back to her senses, then lowered his voice and said, "Shanbao and Manbao are both in the palace. The arrow is on the string. If we don't shoot, there will be backlash."
Madam Liu finally came back to her senses. She gritted her teeth, turned around and said, "I'll go right away."
Mr. Zhuang thought for a moment and then said, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will go with you."
Bai Erlang was stunned, wiping his tears and asked, "Where are you going?"
Mr. Zhuang reached out and touched his head and said, "Go find help for Manbao and the others. You did a great job. From now on, just stay home and don't wander around. Okay?"
Bai Erlang nodded obediently.
Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Liu walked out quickly and happened to meet Yin Huo coming over. They didn't have time to talk to him, so they nodded slightly and left.
Yin Huo bowed and stepped aside, continuing to look for Bai Erlang in the backyard.
When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Bai Erlang sitting on the ground crying. He walked over to him and pulled him up. "The ground is so cold. If you want to cry, you have to find a good place."
Bai Erlang was pulled up by him and sat on the stool, crying, "I don't know what happened to Bai Shan and the others."
Yin Huo asked, "What are they going to do?"
Bai Erlang glanced at him. After today, everyone would know everything they should and shouldn’t know, so there was nothing to hide.
He said, "They want to sue the King of Yizhou, and the King of Yizhou wants to rebel."
Yin Huo blinked, "What does this have to do with them?"
"The King of Yizhou also killed his cousin and Manbao's parents. The Emperor wants them to file a complaint with the Emperor."
Yin Huo opened his mouth wide, "The emperor also knows?"
Bai Jilang nodded.
Yin Huo frowned, "Since the emperor already knew, why did he ask them to file a complaint?"
Bai Erlang: "Bai Shan and the others said that it was for reputation. The emperor came to the throne illegitimately. After ascending the throne, in order to change this impression, he treated his remaining brothers very well. If he kills the King of Yizhou again at this time, others may not think that the King of Yizhou is rebelling, but that he is intolerant of his brothers."
Yin Huo: ...
Bai Erlang wiped his tears and said, "It's all my fault. We planned to make Bai Shan and Man Bao famous first, and then file a complaint with the emperor when they became famous. I didn't expect it to be so sudden today. I don't know how Bai Shan and the others are doing."
Bai Shan and the others are still kneeling on the ground, but not many people pay attention to them. At this time, everyone is flipping through the two booklets passed down by the emperor.
The King of Yizhou was also kneeling. He was thinking about something at the time. Although he hated Bai Shan and Zhou Man very much, he didn't even look at them.
Seeing that no one paid attention to them, Bai Shan turned to look at Manbao, took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the blood off her face.
Li Yunfeng's whip had barbs on it, so Bai Shan whipped so hard. He didn't dare touch the wound, so he just wiped the bloodstain next to it.
Manbao asked quietly, "Are you okay?"
Bai Shan shook his head.
The emperor, seated above, had a full view of everything in the hall. He coughed lightly and asked, "What do you think, my lords?"
Ji Xiang, the head of all officials, asked Bai Shan and Zhou Man on behalf of all officials, "Where did you get this evidence?"
Bai Shan said, "In the mountains. Uncle Zhou and his wife hid something in the mountains when they were escaping. We went in and found it."
"Just now, Master Bai said he knew the location where the King of Yizhou apparently kept his private army?"
Bai Shan glanced at the Queen of Yizhou and said, "That's right."
Ji Xiang asked, "Where is it?"
Bai Shan didn't say anything.
Ji Xiang then asked with a smile, "Why, with all the civil and military officials in the court here, if Master Bai doesn't speak now, when will he speak?"
The emperor was also very curious because he knew about it because Tang Zhihe went to investigate, but his people took over afterwards. He remembered that Bai Shan should not know about it.
Bai Shan said: "I know someone knows where it is."
As he was speaking, the sound of drums could be heard in the distance. Everyone in the hall was startled and turned to look outside. A guard came in and reported, "Your Majesty, someone has struck the drum for reporting."
The next update will be around 6:00 PM
