"It's really vicious. Although I didn't care about the previous five years of general elections, this is the first time I've seen such a thing. It's not necessarily aimed at you. The forces of all parties are intertwined and the major families are competing with each other. Every time

We have all done our best to be fair and just."

"Fair and just, my lord, don't you think you don't believe what you say? But your emperor is really overconfident. There aren't even guards here. We'd be sorry if we didn't go in and take a walk."

Fengyi Palace occupies a large area. The main hall is where the queen lives. There are four side halls on the left and right, with an open area in the middle. Now a small platform has been built in front of the open area. The platform is divided into high and low parts. The open ground has been paved.

The red carpet leads all the way to the palace gate.

"Yang'er, the side halls on both sides are where the ladies rest and change clothes. The queen and concubines are sitting on the higher part of the stage. The lower part of the table is the judges of ladies who have no ladies participating in the election in the capital. As for who is qualified to be a judge,

It was decided by the small hall. It was kept strictly confidential before the primary election. If anyone dared to leak it privately, the royal family would severely punish him. Officials would be demoted to civilians, and merchants would confiscate their property. If collusion in private is discovered, it will implicate the nine tribes.

"

"Your Majesty, these are all for the common people to see, right? Do you really believe it? Even if the secret operation was not so obvious before, your emperor will definitely cause trouble this time. If you don't believe it, we will wait and see tomorrow."

The two people whispered and went over to inspect the four side halls. The arrangements were really well done, and the names of the ladies participating in the primary election were written on the door of each room. There are people living in the side halls now. In order not to

Alarming the palace maid, the two of them looked at each other and left. Behind the side hall is the imperial garden. A large semicircle surrounded the main hall and side halls. It must be said that the emperor's life was luxurious enough. It is not difficult to understand those who treat girls

Those who are sent to the general election, and those young ladies who dream of becoming a master.

"Your Majesty, is there anything interesting in the Royal Garden?"

"Yang'er, the Imperial Garden is a place where ladies in the harem often go. Being able to follow the queen around the Imperial Garden is enough to show the status of ladies in the harem. In fact, every palace has its own small garden. My mother-in-law is alive.

Back then, that garden was no smaller than this one. That was the place where I grew up when I was a child." King Xiaoyao fell into memories.

"Which noble concubine lives there now?"

"It was empty. In the early years, the emperor's father often went there to pay his respects to show that he was a caring person. Later, the princess from Xiling Kingdom lived in it and died of an inexplicable illness within a year.

Later, the palace became an ominous place in the palace. It has been empty in the past few years, but the palace maids and wives often cleaned it. Before the princess of Xiling Kingdom came in, I would sneak in every once in a while.

Go there and sit there. The route from the imperial city to the palace was made by me in those years."

"Your emperor father knows all these things, right?"

"You should know, but he has never asked. Firstly, I rarely enter the palace, and secondly, the few times we meet are pleasant. Why does Yang'er ask that? You still doubt that the layout of Fengyi Palace is

The array is aimed at you."

"Your Majesty, it should be said that he is after both of us."

"No way. Could it be that the Emperor's father has already doubted me? I was in a daze at that time and thought I was dreaming. Did I reveal something?"

"No, it's my fault. The medicine and the tonic reacted, causing you to lose consciousness. How can someone who can sit on that dragon's chair be a simple person? It's his instinct to suspect everything and take precautions in advance, which also secures his position.

The necessary means. You can sneak into the palace often without telling him, because he has seen through that you are not a threat to him. Now that the primary election is coming, how can he not be on guard against you? In the past, you were obsessed with finding out the grievances of your mother and concubine.

He died to avenge her. The clues that were interrupted every time pointed to the person in your heart, causing you and the prince to contain each other. From one side, it helped him stabilize his position. Now because of me, you and the prince are almost openly fighting.

The best outcome is that none of you can get the woman you want. In other words, he doesn’t want one of you brothers to take the lead and threaten his empire. The third prince is smart enough, but his qualifications are still young after all. Insufficient.

To compete with either of you two.

This is also a move to verify the suspicion in his heart. If you visit Fengyi Palace at night for me, and I can't watch you take risks alone, then the two of us will be a big joke in the palace tonight. I and

The confrontation between the prince and the queen has become famous. Your emperor father also wanted to test my abilities by doing this."

"Yang Er, what you said really fits the character of my emperor father. Could it be that we have been secretly monitored by him?"

"Your Majesty, you underestimate this young lady's ability. We didn't touch every plant or tree here and took the antidote beforehand. His plan has already lost the opportunity. If this young lady guessed correctly, where is your mother's palace?"

There is also a battle waiting for us."

"I didn't expect the Emperor's father to have such a deep scheming. Originally, I wanted to take you to see the place where my mother and concubine lived. Now there are pockets open waiting for us."

"Yes, I know my son better than my father. Oh no, there is something going on in that direction." Bai Yang said and suddenly pointed in a direction and said in surprise.

"Ah. That's the palace where my mother and concubine lived. Who is so bold? Dare to disturb the peace of the dead." King Xiaoyao was about to rush out of his hiding place angrily, but Bai Yang hurriedly stopped him.

"Prince, calm down. Maybe there is no one there, and they just lured us to show up. Maybe there is really someone we don't want to know. For this reason, we leave the palace quickly. Whether there is really someone there does not matter to us.

.”

"Yang Er, I will listen to you. Let's leave from the cold palace." King Xiaoyao said, reflecting on his character. If he really rushed out, he might settle the old and new debts with the emperor's father. I feel scared just thinking about it.

I feel more and more dependent on Bai Yang.

This time the two people left from another courtyard of Leng Palace. The courtyard was also covered with wild grass, and the dim lights in the house were like will-o'-wisps in the cemetery. The people in the house were humming a low and sad tune. It sounded like a lullaby.

, and like a low cry.

This time, no rope was used. King Xiaoyao took Bai Yang and jumped out of the wall. He instantly disappeared into the dark night of the imperial city.

"Your Majesty, can you find out who lived in the courtyard just now?"

"It's difficult. All the courtyards in the cold palace are the same. But it is definitely not a place where the concubines are punished. There will be rough ladies in the palace to help clean it, and the concubines who have been relegated to the cold palace will also work hard for those who were eliminated in the primary election.

The ladies who come down, their yards will at least be cleaner."

"Leng Palace looks larger than Fengyi Palace. How many unfortunate people live here? How many people died of old age here, and their names are not even known after death." Bai Yang whispered sadly, and then

This matter is buried deep in my heart.

The two of them returned to the Bai Mansion in the middle of the night. They returned to their respective rooms from the secret passage without anyone noticing. The lights in Bai Yang's study were also turned off. The old imperial doctor yawned and said as he walked: "Miss Bai, please explain."

After taking a few more doses of medicine, the prince's poison should be completely eliminated. From now on, it's time to give him a lot of supplements. I hope he can fully recover."

"Old man, you have worked hard these days. The tonic prescription will be easy to prepare." Bai Yang said and followed the old imperial doctor back to the wing where he lived.

Bai Yang never looked at the side room opposite, but she knew there were two pairs of eyes there. One was concerned about Nanny Rong, and the other was monitored by Xian'er.

The day of the primary election finally arrived, and the carriage from Prince Bai's Mansion arrived at Bai Yang's house just after dawn. The reason is very simple. After the scumbag father and scumbag mother left the Bai Mansion in disgrace, the more I thought about it, the less confident I became in this daughter, and I was afraid that Bai Yang would sit there

I took Prince Xiaoyao's carriage to participate in the primary election. I couldn't explain it to the prince, and I also slapped Prince Bai's face on it.

"Prince Bai and Concubine Bai Ping, please have breakfast before leaving. I heard that the ladies participating in the primary election will line up according to the power of the family. No matter how early you go, you will not be in the front." Bai Yang said directly to Prince Bai and his wife.

His face is dull. The prince with a foreign surname sounds good, but in fact he is powerless. The court does not want to see the people resentful. If it is okay to act in a low-key manner, but it is as arrogant as Prince Bai's Palace and Prince Yun's Palace, then it is even more embarrassing.

Guy.

"I am really a beggar. I will never forget to eat." Miss Wan'er, who was originally unwilling to follow, sneered while sitting in the carriage.

"Who is it? You haven't even participated in the primary election yet, and you act like a shrew like this. It really disgraces the face of Prince Bai's palace. Dad, mother, didn't the palace ask the nanny for advice?" Bai Yang asked knowingly.

"Wan'er, control your temper. Going out represents the face of Prince Bai's palace. How can you look like a lady like this?" Concubine Bai Ping said calmly. Bai Yang's motherly cry made her happy. In the past, Bai Yang

All the turtles eaten here have disappeared.

"Er Niang, am I wrong? I really think that I am the princess now. Why are you so arrogant? You have to ask us to come and pick her up."

"Wan'er, that is the sister I have never met. Let me tell you Bai Yang, I am not pretending to be a princess. What I rely on is the eldest lady of Prince Bai's Mansion. You can leave first, you are a young lady raised by a noble family.

If you are with me, a beggar, you will lose your identity." Bai Yang was not angry at all, and said with a smile. But Bai Wan'er, who was sitting in the car and acting like a young lady, was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes.

"Wan'er, you really disappoint me. Where have you learned the rules that the nanny taught you? Learn from your sister. When you enter the palace, you will be prosperous and you will suffer losses. All those who are fighting for it are the White Prince's house.
