Chapter 509 The White Moonlight of Powerful Officials [1v3](13)
Regent's Palace.
The man is leaning on the gilded tiger's head, dressed in a purple robe, looking elegant and noble.
The purple gold crown tied on the head is also inlaid with pearls and jade, showing the man's unparalleled dignity.
He has a pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes, which are slightly half-squinted at the moment, full of disdain and ridicule that belongs to those in high positions.
"What did you say? Bai Wu ran away?"
The man questioned, but he was still playing with a pair of white jade beads casually in his hand.
Bai Yan, standing below, had a rare serious and respectful attitude: "Uncle, Yan'er didn't lie to you. Bai Wu is really no longer in the palace."
Bai Yuming snorted coldly, raised his forehead with one hand, and stared sharply at the person below.
"Bai Wu is missing and you are now informing me? You two brothers and sisters have really good plans."
After saying that, he turned the jade beads in his hand and made a sharp collision sound. Even Bai Yan, who was standing in front of His Highness, could not help but tremble.
Before she could come up with a countermeasure, she heard the man sitting on the seat say coldly:
"You two brothers and sisters forced the eldest princess to marry you without my permission. You are really brave."
Bai Yan was shocked.
Sure enough he knew it!
So she raised her head and looked like she was being forced: "Uncle, there is nothing we can do. The imperial edict is in Bai Wu's hands. If she..."
"What if?" Bai Yuming chuckled, "What if? Bai Wu is the crown prince appointed by the emperor's brother. Even if you get the imperial edict, what kind of trouble can you cause?"
"But..." Bai Yan took a step forward, "Is the emperor's uncle willing to serve as regent for the rest of his life? If Bai Wu comes back with full strength, will she be able to tolerate the emperor's uncle in her eyes?"
Bai Yuming narrowed his eyes: "Third princess, be careful what you say."
Bai Yan saw the intimidation in the man's eyes, bit her lip and stepped back.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Emperor, it was Yan'er who was...reckless."
"So what is the purpose of the third princess coming to my regent's house early in the morning?" Bai Yuming casually wiped the jade beads in his hands.
Bai Yan tightened her fists and stated her intention clearly.
"Brother was injured. Although I sent people to track down Bai Wu's whereabouts, there has been no news of her until now. All I know is that she disappeared without a trace in the royal forest."
Bai Yuming raised his eyebrows: "The royal forest outside the Suzaku Gate? Isn't that the hillside diagonally connected to the south gate?"
He got the point across in one sentence.
Bai Yan heard it.
He still cares about this matter.
So she breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"I also sent people to search the hills, but still found nothing. But that day I met the young prince of the Wang family in Zhenbei."
"Wei Changce?"
"Yes." Bai Yan nodded, "Although there was nothing wrong with him at the time, I heard that after he returned from hunting, there was a girl following him around, and they had some unclear troubles with him."
Bai Yuming sneered: "Do you suspect that person is Bai Wu? If it were really her, the Wei family would have sent her back to the palace long ago. As for hiding her until now?"
"I know, but the origin of that woman is indeed unknown. Maybe she has something to do with Bai Wu." Bai Yan said hurriedly.
"Oh, so you want me to go to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion in person?" Bai Yuming straightened up and looked Bai Yan up and down, "Yan'er, you have grown up and are thoughtful.
"
Bai Yan knelt down in a hurry: "Yan'er had no intention of plotting against the emperor's uncle. Yan'er came to ask for help from the emperor's uncle because she really didn't know what to do. Yan'er was just an unmarried princess. This time she rashly went to Zhenbei Palace.
It doesn't make sense, so I thought of asking my uncle..."
Bai Yuming slowly stood up, played with the jade beads in his hands and walked down the steps.
When he walked to Bai Yan, he stretched out a hand as if to help her up, but did not bend down.
"Yan'er, you are the third princess, why do you need to pay such a big courtesy to the emperor's uncle? Since you have gone all the way to come to the Regent's Palace, how can I refuse?"
Bai Yan stood up with a face filled with gratitude, "Yan'er would like to thank the emperor for his support. When the will is found, Yan'er will tell the emperor as soon as possible."
After a few more pleasantries, Bai Yan left.
The guard on the side then approached, "Your Majesty, are you still going to the Zhenbei Palace?"
Bai Yuming laughed and said, "Go, why not?"
He also wanted to see where his eldest niece had hidden.
….
Just after noon, Bai Yuming led a large number of soldiers and horses to Zhenbei Palace.
Wei Qi got the news early and waited outside the door with two or three personal guards.
When he saw the regent's guard of honor, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.
"I wonder why the prince came to my humble residence today? If it was for state affairs, I would have prepared tea in the study and asked the prince to move."
Bai Yuming was sitting on the sedan chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was quite sharp.
"No need, King Zhenbei, instead of having this leisurely time to make tea, you might as well take care of the people in your house."
Wei Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that Bai Yuming's arrival was not a good one.
But he still smiled and asked in a humble manner, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean by this king?" Bai Yuming snorted coldly, "This king received a report that Zhenbei Palace is harboring an assassin who escaped from the palace, and he specially led troops to search."
Wei Qi's face froze for a moment, "Your Majesty, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Our Wei family has been clean for generations, how could we do such a treasonous thing?"
"Whether it is innocent or not will only be known after I search it."
His eyes darkened, and then he raised his hand.
The guards around him immediately understood and filed in with their soldiers.
The servants were all waiting in front of the door, looking at each other.
However, they were all carefully trained by the Wei family. Even in such a scene of fighting, they would not be frightened to death.
"King Zhenbei, don't stand there stunned at the door. Come in with me." Bai Yuming looked at the show, then got off the sedan, waved away the big cloak on his body, and walked into the town arrogantly.
Beiwangfu.
Along the way, he looked at the furnishings of the Zhenbei Palace with playful eyes, and made tut-tsk sounds from time to time.
"The King of Zhenbei has 300,000 Zhenbei troops, and the palace is still in such a shabby state. The King of Zhenbei is really a breath of fresh air."
Wei Qi's face did not change, "I live in the heavenly family and I will use it as much as your majesty gives me. I feel that the Zhenbei Palace can shelter both wind and rain, so it is not shabby."
Bai Yuming raised the corners of his lips, but the smile was not as deep as his eyes, "But isn't the throne of our Dongli Kingdom vacant now? In the opinion of King Zhenbei, which one of these princes and princesses is more capable?"
"Wei Chen is stupid. He only knows swords, guns, swords and axes, but he doesn't have the ability to recognize people. What's more, there is no news from the temple, so Wei Chen doesn't dare to speculate."
The implication of Wei Qi's words is very clear.
He is not qualified to talk about the crown prince.
Neither did Bai Yuming.
Before the temple has spoken, even if the late emperor has a posthumous edict, nothing will count.
