In the Palace of Tzu Ning, the empress dowager lay on the soft ground with her eyes closed, listening to the eunuch at the side who reported everything that had happened in the hall.

When she heard that Bai Zhixi's mother, Ye Shixue, was the Queen of Southern Frontier, she frowned, then suddenly threw the black cat in her hands out, smashing it heavily into the flower pot.

The black cat let out a shriek and disappeared from the palace, leaving the servant lying on the cold ground not daring to breathe.

"So it really is her. No wonder she's so outstanding!"

The empress dowager murmured softly. Her gaze turned cold as she broke the beautiful rose in her hands.

Her two slender fingers were stabbed by a sharp thorn, and fresh red blood flowed down, drop by drop, onto the ground. However, she was completely unaware of it.

He could only silently stare in the direction of the throne room, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.

Inside the throne room, old general talked endlessly about Bai Zhixi's parents.

Everyone knew that the Ye Family back then was a small family with a Dongjun Kingdom far superior to Luo Yang's. However, their family had two daughters that were as beautiful as flowers.

The eldest daughter, Ye Shixue, knew her place and was extremely talented. She was extremely intelligent and was known as the number one beauty in Dongjun Kingdom.

Her second daughter, Ye Shishuang, was an outstanding beauty, a heroine who did not yield to women. Although her appearance was the same, she was a completely different kind of woman from Ye Shixue.

Back then, the Emperor was still with Bai Zhixi's father, Bai Xuanyi, and the others when they descended to Luoyang. They coincidentally met this pair of beautiful sisters.

The world only knew that at that time, when the Crown Prince, Qing Qing, had returned from Luoyang, he had had this pair of beautiful sisters by his side.

However, at that time when the emperor was in critical condition, the various princes and powers were all ready to make a move. Dong Aoqing had his heart set on the imperial government and was not in the mood to be a girl.

At this time, Situ Lan borrowed the Situ Family's power to try his best to support Dong Aoqing and help him stabilize this dangerous situation.

In these three years, Dong Aoqing successfully ascended the throne to become emperor, but he did not bestow the title of imperial concubine.

When the situation stabilized, he finally remembered that the woman he liked the most was actually in love with someone else. This person was Ye Shixue, Bai Zhixi's mother.

But Ye Shishuang, with her strong personality, a mere Dongjun Kingdom was not enough to keep her in her heart. It was said that she met the most important person in her life, and went for a sightseeing trip.

After Dong Aoqing found out about the matter between Ye Shixue and Bai Xuanyi, he was so angry that he couldn't care about the objection of the old official in the imperial court anymore and ordered for Ye Shixue to be taken into the imperial harem as his imperial concubine.

On the night that they picked up Ye Shixue and entered the palace, Ye Shixue and Bai Xuanyi ran off and angered Dong Aoqing. The entire city was looking for Ye Shixue and Bai Xuanyi. This battle had lasted for at least a year.

However, the two of them seemed to have disappeared without a trace, leaving no traces of them in the world.

Dong Aoqing had also married Situ Lan, so she was adopted by the heavens.

In the same year, he had taken in four concubines, borrowing their swords to fill up the previously deserted harem.

So much so that later on, with three thousand beauties in the harem, he might slowly begin to hate Bai Zhixi's parents.

However, three years later, on the day the Emperor withdrew from the arrest warrant, Bai Zhixi's parents returned.

At that time, Bai Zhixi's mother was already pregnant. On the night of their delivery, witch church had found out where they lived and cruelly murdered Bai Zhixi's parents.

"Old General Bai, all of these things that you have said are known by the entire world. They can only prove that Bai Zhixi was actually born in my Dongjun Kingdom.

Uncle Situ looked coldly at Old General Bai. Thinking about how his sister had been wronged, he couldn't help but feel indignant in his heart.

If it wasn't for that year's mother, her sister would already be sitting in the back seat. He could have married Ye Shishuang in broad daylight and wouldn't have let her fall into poverty, and be cruelly killed by the kidnappers in the end.

Everything was because of Ye Shixue. He had lived for so many years …

"Uncle Situ Guo, I haven't even finished telling you my story. Why are you so anxious to kill my Bai Family? Are you afraid that your secret will be leaked?"

The Old General Bai shot a cold glance at him, his cold eyes were like countless sharp swords, aimed straight at everyone.

"Old General Bai is joking, this uncle of mine is always so open and honest, how could there be a secret behind it?" I just want to remind Old General Bai that you are not worthy of the charge of colluding with the enemy. "

Situ Guo glared at Old General Bai and angrily flung his sleeves. A trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes, it was so fast that no one could catch it.

He covered up the shock in his heart and pretended to lightly look at Dong Aoqing who was high above. In a place where no one was looking, he tightly clenched his fists. He did not dare to let go, afraid that his hands would drip cold sweat onto the ground.

"Old General Bai, we are also very curious, how did Bai Zhixi become the princess of Southern Frontier!"

Dong Aoqing sat on the high seat with a gloomy face, as if it was going to rain in May.

He clearly remembered that rainy night when he rushed to the Lovers Lake in the western suburbs. Seeing the two of them kissing in the rain, his heart felt as if it was being sliced by a knife.

If it wasn't for Situ Lan holding onto him tightly, he definitely would have killed the dog couple.

Ever since he had met Ye Shixue, her understanding and gentleness had caused his heart to palpitate. He confided his thoughts to her, and she laughed them off.

He thought Ye Shixue loved him. However, due to the woman's shyness, she did not dare to reveal it.

When they were in Luoyang, she had caressed the zither. He played the flute, and the zither hummed and hummed. He was truly free and unrestrained.

Ever since Luo Yang came back, his Dongjun Kingdom had sunk into a state of deep abyss. He endured all the public opinion and pressure, and stayed up all night to take care of things, just wanting to return to her side as soon as possible.

After he ascended the throne, he had once been under pressure from the Empress Dowager and the Minister to leave the throne to her, and she was the only one who had walked the rest of his life with him.

However, when he saw the scene in the rain, he felt a sense of shame that he had never felt before.

That was why he had ordered her to be his concubine. He wanted to imprison this woman who had betrayed his feelings by his side for the rest of his life and spend the rest of his life to punish her.

Unexpectedly, he heard the news of the two eloping.

How could he tolerate this kind of thing happening? He angrily placed a wanted poster, but he didn't expect that even after three years, he still hadn't found any traces of the two.

After many years, these matters were gradually forgotten by him, or perhaps it could be said that he had to be cold and emotionless, and not want to think about them again.

It wasn't until fifteen years later when Bai Zhixi once again appeared at his own banquet that he began to reminisce.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Bai Xuanyi isn't the son of an old subject in the first place. By chance, this old subject's good-for-nothing son, Bai Xuanyi, saved the Southern Frontier Crown Prince, but he himself died accidentally. Later on, after the Emperor of Southern Frontier investigated everywhere and found out that he was the son of an old official, he came to the Eastern County to bring back the unfilial son's ashes. The Emperor of Southern Frontier had wanted to give this old subject a surprise, but he used a disguise technique to transform himself into Xuan Yi. At this moment, the emperor suddenly came to the manor and ordered Xuan Yi to follow you south to Luoyang. I believe that the Emperor is very clear about the rest of this matter. "

After Old General Bai finished speaking, the hall once again fell into silence, only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.

Everything started from a misunderstanding, fate was indeed a wondrous thing!

"Haha!" Brilliant! It's no wonder that I was able to capture her heart. I don't find it strange at all. "

Dong Aoqing laughed out loud towards the sky, the sound of his laughter resonating throughout the hall for a long time, and inside the hall, he felt a bit of heartache.

At least, that was the way Bai Zhixi saw it!

It was incredible that her life was legendary.

"Your Majesty, this is only one side of Elder Bai's story. It is simply impossible to prove that the Bai Xuanyi back then was the one who was disguised as the Southern Frontier Emperor. It can't be that Old Bai is taking this opportunity to clear us of our suspicion, right? "

The cold voice of Uncle Situ rang out in the hall once more, this time in an overbearing manner.

When the seated Dong Aoqing heard his words, his originally cold gaze suddenly became sharper. He stared at Old General Bai with sparkling eyes, as if he was waiting for Old General Bai to continue speaking.

"It's reasonable for Uncle Situ to have doubts. This is the personal letter of the Emperor of Southern Frontier, please have a look, Your Majesty! "

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Old General Bai took out a shiny yellow cloth from his bosom and handed it over to the eunuchs.

The instant the eunuch received the embroidered cloth, a corner of the cloth was revealed, and a distinct "border" character impressively appeared in front of everyone.

All of the ministers in the hall started whispering to each other. They had already guessed that this might really be an edict from the emperor of the nation of Southern Frontier, and Bai Zhixi was the princess whose Southern Frontier had been left outside.

"Looks like we have truly wronged Old General Bai."

Dong Aoqing said lazily as he handed the embroidered cloth to the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, since the truth has been revealed, this crown prince will bring my sister back to the Southern Frontier on the very next day. When he returned to royal father, he thanked the for raising him. "Farewell!"

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Nangong Xuan anxiously took a step forward, bowed to Dong Aoqing, and said anxiously.

After obtaining Dong Aoqing's tacit approval, Nangong Xuan grabbed Bai Zhixi's hand and urgently walked out of the hall.

It was as if he wanted to return home and was in a hurry to meet his family. It was as if he was being pursued by an evil ghost, as if he was afraid that if he was one step too late, he would be killed by the evil ghost.

"Wait a minute!"

However, before they could even take a few steps, they were stopped by Dong Aoqing's call, and had no choice but to turn around and stop.

"Crown Prince Southern Frontier, I think this king remembers that the princess of Southern Frontier is about to win too! It is also at the age of marriage. Might I know if Princess Southern Frontier wishes to become the crown prince of our country? "

Dong Aoqing suddenly stood up, and walked down the stairs, towards the two of them.

His words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Bai Zhixi's heart, causing him to be unable to calm down for a long time. Of course, every official present was the same.

Shangguan Jingyan's father, Grand Commandant Shangguan's body trembled slightly upon hearing his words. If not for the official beside him supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.

What does the Emperor mean by this? He actually wanted Bai Zhixi to become his concubine?

So, where to Shangguan Jingyan?

Bai Zhixi was currently a princess of the Southern Frontier, so he naturally couldn't be a secondary concubine.
