Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 896 Suspecting the Empress

The "lessons learned from the past" he mentioned obviously refers to the Ruan Xiuyu who died before. At that time, there were rumors that the queen killed him.Although there was no evidence at the time, this rumor was widely known. Since then, people have been discussing in private how vicious the current empress is.

Xuanyuan Chen's face darkened, and he said slowly: "I originally thought that only those blind servants would believe such groundless rumors, but unexpectedly, even Mrs. Bai believed these pretentious rumors!"

Taifu Bai also knew that the relationship between the emperor and empress was very deep. After going through the three emperors, he was still in a stable position. Of course, he was smart enough to know what to say and what not to say.

If he offended the empress like this, in the past, he would never say a word.

But now he has an urge to go all out, to seek justice for his old daughter, this is understandable.

And the most important thing is that he is very clear that even the emperor can't do anything to him.

Having been an official in the court for many years, his shrewdness is not inferior to anyone else.He could see that the current emperor was actually still under Yu Wenrong's control.

If he wanted to get rid of Yu Wenrong's control, or even kill Yu Wenrong, then the young emperor had to win over some important ministers in the court for his own use, and things could be done.

Grand Tutor Bai is a cautious person, he does not want to be a tool of Yu Wenrong's subordinates, nor an enemy of Yu Wenrong, he just wants to sit safely on his position of Grand Tutor and live a life of prosperity and wealth.

He was not like Ruan Yuntian at that time. Ruan Yuntian was just a servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he didn't dare to go against the emperor at all, so he could only resign and leave in the end.

However, Taifu Bai made up his mind to seek justice, facing Xuanyuan Chen's questioning, he just put on a bitter face, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, this old minister just wants to seek justice for his daughter, let alone, The emperor loves the empress so much, so he must not want her to be slandered by those rumors, right? To find out the truth is not only to seek justice for the little girl, but also to clear the suspicion for the empress!"

On the surface it sounded nice, but Xuanyuan Chen knew exactly what he was thinking in his heart.

Xuanyuan Chen stared at him, and said: "As Bai Taifu said, the queen is conducting a thorough investigation. After the results are obtained, justice will naturally come."

"Think twice, Your Majesty." Taifu Bai bowed deeply, and said, "The Queen's Empress is now the biggest suspect. If she investigates this matter, even if the truth is finally found out, it will be extremely difficult for people to believe!"

Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Oh? According to Bai Aiqing's intention, do you want me to send another person to investigate?"

Bai Taifu lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

"Since you want to say it, let's make it clear, why dare you?" Xuanyuan Chen stared at him with cold eyes.

Bai Taifu felt a little guilty from this look, and said stammeringly: "The old minister also knows that the harem should be managed by the empress, but this matter... Since the empress is extremely suspicious, then it shouldn't be her." Come check!"

He gritted his teeth and finally spoke directly.

Xuanyuan Chen laughed and asked: "Then Bai Aiqing thinks, who should I ask to investigate?"

Taifu Bai thought to himself, of course it is up to you to decide who you want to investigate, how do I know who you can trust?
But not only did he not dare to say a single word of this, he also dared not show the slightest bit on his face.He coughed lightly, and said: "The emperor is wise and powerful. I believe that the emperor will find the most suitable candidate."
