C20 (2/2)
Baili Moxun was not only the biggest threat to Baili Yao in stabilizing the throne, she was also Baili Xing's strongest opponent!
The empress dowager probably wouldn't have imagined that the poison she'd been poisoned with was actually from her most beloved grandson.
Baili Xing didn't want the empress dowager's life. After all, with her support, he could clear many obstacles on the way to the throne.
So he made Bai Zhiling show her face in front of the empress dowager and bribed the people around her to frame Baili Moxun.
It was just that he did not expect Bai Zhiling to reveal her face and ruin his plan!
This woman … Should he stay or not …
”Send people to investigate who the wangfei learned medicine from and what happened in recent years. They've thoroughly investigated every detail.”
”Yes.”
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the masters of the Cloud King's Manor.
When Bai Tinglan found out that Baili Xing left for Bai Zhiling's yard, she was so angry that she smashed the antique vase in the room.
No matter what, he couldn't let this woman stay any longer!
”...”
After a palace banquet, the days of Bai Zhiling's Cloud King's Manor had gradually returned to normal.
The news of Baili Xing going to Bai Zhiling's courtyard quickly spread through the Cloud King's Manor. The servants of the Prince's Mansion didn't dare to make things difficult for the people of the Peony Courtyard, so Bai Zhiling's days were quite comfortable.
”Esteemed wangfei, if the prince sees this set of clothes …” Full Moon looked at Bai Zhiling, who was dressed like a man, and almost cried.
Princess Hua-Yang could freely enter and leave the manor, but she didn't need to change into men's clothing.
Bai Zhiling looked at her reflection in the mirror with satisfaction.
”Doesn't look good?”
Bai Zhiling's white jade and porcelain face was accompanied by a pair of heroic, sword-like eyebrows. She wore a green and grey robe that made her look very valiant.
”Beautiful …”
”That's right. Let's go.”
Before she left Cloud King's Manor, she had to get familiar with this dynasty. Anyway, Baili Xing didn't say that she was not allowed to leave the house, so she had no reason to work here everyday.
For convenience, Bai Zhiling had the full moon prepare an ordinary looking carriage.
”Wang... Young Master, where are you planning to go? ” It was her first time wearing a man's outfit, so even though Full Moon felt that it was against the rules, she was still a little bit excited.
”Let's go to the house my mother left behind first.”
She had taken back the Jiang family's dowry from Madam Huang, so she wanted to take a look.
”Quick, quick, go take a look! There's someone up ahead competing in the Groom Search Competition!”
”Which family's daughter?”
”It seems to be the daughter of the owner of the De Tian Tower.”
”De Tian Tower, quick, go take a look …”
Bai Zhiling was attracted by the liveliness on the street. She lifted the curtain slightly to look outside and saw that many commoners were running towards the street in front of them.
”Young Master, we're competing in the Groom Search Competition.” It was so lively!
”Since I have nothing better to do, I might as well go take a look.”
In ancient times, there weren't many entertainment activities, but anything on the street would be observed.
The Groom Search Competition arena was located in front of the main entrance of the De Tian Tower. It could be said that the De Tian Tower was one of the top places within the Little Zhou Country Restaurant.
All these years, the owners of the De Tian Tower had never revealed themselves. The only thing they knew was that Dao Ming was managed by a head storekeeper named Xiong Mingtian.
Today's Groom Search Competition was being held by Xiong Mingtian's daughter, Xiong Xiaoxiao.
Just now, the horse carriage from the De Tian Tower couldn't pass through, so Bai Zhiling and the others had no choice but to get off the horse carriage …
