The exposed man sneered, "Of course I'm not your brother Ye, but Bai Ruo Lan, you're going to die right now, hahaha!"

She laughed and raised her voice, "Take care, Lan`er!"

The moment she saw the white figure soar into the sky and disappear into the boundless night sky, Bai Ruolan widened her eyes as she looked at the disappearing white figure. Before she could figure out what was going on, Mu Qingchen's eunuch, Wang Gong, appeared with the imperial guards in front of her.

"Eunuch Wang …"

"Empress, if you have anything to say, say it to Viva! Take him away! "

A servant kneeling under the table said, "This servant smelled a strange fragrance and lost all consciousness. When I woke up, General Bai's corpse had disappeared without a trace, and the Queen had also disappeared without a trace. Eunuch Wang had brought guards to search everywhere, and this servant specially returned to the palace to report this to the Emperor!"

"The empress disappeared without a trace?" Mu Qingchen used his hands to prop himself up, word by word coming out from between his teeth.

"Find it for me!" Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to find the empress! "

"Yes sir!" The guards had just retreated to the door when they saw Eunuch Wang and the imperial guards returning with Bai Ruo Lan.

"What's going on?" Mu Qingchen gritted his teeth as he looked at the pale-faced Bai Ruo Lan.

"The empress has disappeared. This old servant brought the imperial guards to search for her and found her in a small house in the garden behind the white statue."

"Just discovered the empress?"

"Also …" And there's still one more person who looks like the crippled crown prince who escaped! " Elder Wang lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu Qingchen.

A deathly silence reigned in the imperial study. A long while later, Mu Qingchen's voice rang out, "Bai Ruolan, what else do you have to say for yourself?"

"It's not like that... "Didn't the emperor …"

"No?" Bai Ruo Lan, do you still want to pretend after what has happened? " Mu Qingchen's gaze turned cold, "What excuse are you giving your parents to guard the village? Your real intentions are to have been colluding with Mu Qingye to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, right?"

"I did not... The Emperor, wasn't Mu Qingye! That person from before was not Mu Qingye! He was a fake, and when I found out he ran away. "

"You actually still want to argue!?" "Bring the plum blossoms!"

Mei Xiang was picked up and thrown onto the ground as soon as Mu Qing Chen finished speaking. She crawled on the ground as she cried, "Empress, why didn't you leave? Why didn't you leave with the crown prince according to plan? "

"Meixiang, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"You're still pretending even at this time?" Mu Qingchen sneered, "Bai Ruolan, the crown prince was disguised as a human. Can you tell me why your brother's corpse disappeared without a trace?"

"Flee without leaving a trace? "How could that be?" Bai Ruochen's face was filled with fear. That person wasn't Mu Qingye just now. It was obvious that what he said to her was false. But now, Mu Qingchen was sure that her big brother's corpse had disappeared. What exactly was going on?

"Tell me what's going on!"

Mei Xiang crawled on the ground. "Empress, you are really muddle-headed. Why did you come back? Why didn't you leave with the Crown Prince and the eldest young master? The eldest young master has always faked his death, waiting for the crown prince to come rescue him.

"Feigned death?" Bai Ruo Lan shook her head, "That's not it. That person isn't Mu Qingye, he really isn't!"

Seeing that Mu Qingchen was about to deny it, a loud sound came from the side. She turned her head and saw Mei Xiang lying on the ground, blood slowly flowing out from the corner of her mouth.

"What a loyal dog slave, he actually committed suicide!" Mu Qing Chen looked at Mei Xiang, who had stopped breathing, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Bai Ruolan, what else do you have to say for yourself? Do you really think that your Bai Clan colluding with Mu Qingye is a lie? "

Bai Ruo Lan could not say a word, how could it be like this?

His big brother's body was nowhere to be seen, and Mei Xiang had committed suicide. Could it be that the Bai Clan had colluded with Mu Qingye?

Was this a conspiracy, a heinous crime of extermination?

As the cold source approached, Mu Qingchen reached out a hand to seal her collar. "I will give you one last chance to tell me Mu Qingye's whereabouts. If you don't mind, I'll let bygones be bygones, or else …"

"Your Majesty, this lowly servant really doesn't know …"

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Mu Qingchen spat out three words in succession before throwing Bai Ruochen aside and turning around to leave. When he reached the entrance, he heard a cold voice, "Empress Bai Ruolan, you have done nothing wrong. From today onwards, you shall abolish the title of Empress and submit it to the Punishment Division for punishment!"
