Chapter 883 The Dust Settles
"It's nothing serious. We really found your mother in the Prince's Mansion. Your mother was fine when we found her, but she was a little frightened."

"There's also you, who's been asleep for nearly half a day."

"The doctor said, you should take a good rest. Don't be too tired in the future. You should eat, take a walk, and maintain a good mood."

"There seems to be nothing else?"

After finishing his summary in a few words, old man Bai asked her.

"Is your mother asleep? How do you see her mental state?"

"I'm a little tired. I need to rest and take care of myself. Dad, you should spend more time with her these days." Bai Jinli said.

Even if she is frightened and needs to be comforted, if she has close people to accompany her more, she should be able to get better sooner.

"Yeah, it should be, don't worry, I will." Old Man Bai nodded repeatedly.

Before, he didn't feel how important his old wife was, but after this incident, he really experienced the pain of losing her.

From now on, he will definitely care about Mrs. Li more than before.

"By the way, Lizi, let me tell you something. Even in the days when your mother disappeared, all of my father's friends also helped to find her."

"Father is thinking about inviting them to our house for a meal when the weather gets better in a few days."

"That's what it should be. When the time comes, let the kitchen make more of what they like to eat, and prepare some pastry gift boxes for them by the way." Bai Jinli nodded.

Many people came to help Mrs. Li's disappearance this time. No matter what the outcome is, at least everyone is very dedicated to help find her.

She has kept all these kindnesses in her heart, and she will repay what is due.

"Well, then you have a chat, I'll go in and see your mother." After finishing speaking, old man Bai got up and went into the house.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, don't you need to be on duty today?"

"It just so happens that the household department is not particularly busy these days, so I asked Mr. Lu for a few days off, and I will stay at home temporarily to see my mother and your sister-in-law." Bai Yi said.

"Li Zi doesn't care about us, I also sued for leave."

"That's good. I'm really fine. The eldest brother and the second brother will be busy when they should." Bai Jinli.

"Well, it's good that it's okay. Tell the elder brother and the second brother about anything in the future. You are a woman, so don't work so hard."

"Are you hungry? Brother asked the kitchen to prepare some food for you. I'll go back and see Mo'er and the others after dinner." There was warm concern and tolerance in Bai Yi's eyes.

"I'm really hungry after hearing what my brother said. I want to drink hot and sour soup, eat tofu brain, steamed sea bass, sweet and sour short ribs, braised winter melon, and two more. Oh, let's forget about a bowl of rice."

Bai Jinli originally wanted to eat two bowls of rice, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that she couldn't eat too much carbohydrate food during the third trimester, so she simply changed it to one bowl.

The big deal is to eat some nuts, fruit or something after the meal.

"Lizi, you've been struggling recently, why don't you ask the kitchen staff to make you some nourishing soup." Bai Baiqi asked.

"No need for the second brother, I am making too much now, I am afraid that if the fetus is too big, it will be difficult to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Bai Baiqi was too frightened to continue speaking.

I heard that when a woman gives birth, she has to go through the gate of hell.

Although he was particularly looking forward to the appearance of a little nephew or niece, he didn't want to lose his little sister's life.

"Second brother, don't be frightened by my words. I'm just taking precautions. Proper tonic is still necessary."

Seeing a trace of fear on Bai Baiqi's face, she quickly opened her mouth to explain.

After all, she is also pregnant for the first time. She has heard many people say that giving birth will be very painful, so she is both looking forward to and nervous.

"Uh-huh."

Taking advantage of Bai Yiyi's time to go to the kitchen, Bai Jinli asked about Bai Qi's story.

Just as they guessed, Mrs. Li was indeed imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion, but the place where she was imprisoned was very difficult to find, it was located in a tunnel inside a rockery.

After entering the tunnel, you have to go through two checkpoints before you can really see the room where Mrs. Li is held.

It is said that Mrs. Li was locked in a sealed and very dark room. The room was very quiet and there was no sound.

Some are just the flammable and explosive dangerous black powder arranged next to her.

Moreover, those people seemed to have inquired about something in advance. Before imprisoning Mrs. Li, they deliberately asked people to take a bath for her, and changed into clothes with incense to cover her smell.

This is also one of the reasons why they have been unable to find Mrs. Li for a long time.

Mrs. Li was threatened by Bai Moli and Rob Nai from the very beginning, and she was worried about the safety of Bai Jinli and Lin Chenyuan.

And then being imprisoned in that environment, the state of mind is naturally not smooth.

For Mrs. Li, these things are actually tolerable to her.

The most important thing was that Bai Moli went to see Mrs. Li twice afterwards, and she always stood outside the dark room when she went.

The purpose of her going there was nothing else, just to open her mouth to ridicule, to provoke Mrs. Li, and to take revenge on Mrs. Li for her bad treatment in the past.

She even said that as long as Mrs. Li is willing to die, she will kindly let Bai Jinli go.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li was tied up and trapped in that dark house at that time.

Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of things Mrs. Li can do in such an environment that can destroy people's minds.

As for how they found Mrs. Li, it was thanks to the news sent by Qi Heng from the palace.

During the day, Qi sent her to see a doctor. After learning that she was fine, he asked Bai Xiaoming and his wife to come over to help take care of Bai Jinli.

He hurried to Suzaku Street to check the situation.

After inquiring about the news, Xiangming came to Suzaku Street and told Bai Qi what he had inquired about.

During this period of time, there were indeed three families doing business on Suzaku Street, and the time was not short.

Bai Tianqi took out the blueprint to find the location of the three families, and then asked people to dig in that direction to find out.

Because if the tortoiseshell people wanted to dig a tunnel underground quickly and quietly, they would have to travel day and night.

Everyone is sleeping at night, so maybe not many people will notice.

But there are many pedestrians and passers-by during the day, if they make a lot of noise, someone will definitely notice.

At this time, if someone is holding a wedding or funeral on it, it will be very lively, and it will naturally cover the sound of the underground.

Moreover, those who can cooperate at this time also need to investigate carefully.

It was for these reasons that Bai Jinli asked Xiangming to investigate this.

That is to say, during this time, Qi Heng also made new progress.

Ever since Bai Jinli and Mrs. Zhang left the palace, Qi Heng went to the queen's bedroom non-stop to investigate the situation.

According to what Prince Mu said, Qi Heng has checked the entire palace several times, and the identity information of everyone in the palace has been checked.

But even so, two palace maids in the queen's bedroom were still missing.

One is the nanny who grew up with the queen, and the other is the grand maid who has been with her for five years.

The true identities of these two people were not even guessed by the Queen herself.

Therefore, no one thought that the tortoiseshell Rob Nai, who was being searched throughout the imperial city, would be hiding in the palace openly, or in the queen's bedroom.

With the help of the nun and the grand lady, the queen's bedroom was controlled by Rob Nai when she was threatened.

Because he took control of the Queen's bedroom first, Rob Nai was able to take the opportunity to heal his injuries, and by the way quietly placed his own people in the palace.

He also ordered people to secretly bury the black gunpowder he got earlier in several places in the imperial palace and every spot on Suzaku Street, waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos in the entire capital.

As for the origin of the black powder, it was naturally that he had found a way to unite Feng Qinghuang and Li Xiang.

Li Xiang's daughter, Li Qingrou, was originally the concubine of the crown prince, and she might become a concubine or empress in the future.

Once that happens, the power of Li Xiang's family will be able to go one step further.

But the crown prince lost his position, and Li Xiang, who wanted to climb higher, suddenly lost that way, and the gap in his heart can be imagined.

At this time, someone came to him and said that as long as he cooperates with sending a few people to the military department, and then helps to cover it when necessary, he can push the prince to that position.

Once the crown prince reaches that position, Prime Minister Zuo can still fulfill his dream.

So, Zuo Xiang was moved.

As for Feng Qinghuang, she was also bewitched, she also wanted to climb up, and by the way unite with the forces of the Suzaku Kingdom.

So she kept casting spells on the prince, brainwashing him over and over again, and successfully led the prince on the road of no return.

It is said that later, Prime Minister Zuo, who heard the news of the prince's failure, was going to pack up his things and run away, but was arrested by Luo Ningmin who was patrolling with soldiers.

Together with that Li Qingrou, she was also sent to the cell by her former friend Luo Ningmin.

After all, Li Qingrou also contributed a lot in this matter, and she has no fewer crimes than her.

As for Rob Nai who was recuperating in the palace, he was also caught by His Majesty Qi Heng.

At that time, he was threatening His Majesty with a scimitar on the Queen's neck, and Bai Jasmine was standing behind him.

On the surface, Qi Heng was checked and balanced by him, but in fact he arranged for the archers to stand by.

When the bow and arrow moved his hand, the arm of Rob Nai who was holding the scimitar to the queen's neck was shot, and the queen was out of danger in time.

Then a rain of bows and arrows shot towards Rob Nai.Rob Nai unceremoniously pushed Bai Jasmine who was standing behind her to block the arrow.

Yes, Bai Jasmine is dead.

After being used as a humanoid target by Rob Nai, it was thrown on the ground mercilessly like a rag.

The queen, who was originally out of danger, immediately turned pale when she heard Rob Nai tell her about the prince's forced palace and being discovered by His Majesty.

At this time when she was in a state of despair, she was captured by Rob Nai on the side again and used it as a figure to restrain His Majesty.

This time the queen didn't panic, nor did she beg for mercy, she begged His Majesty to spare the life of the prince and the family, and after speaking, she directly hit the scimitar and died on the spot.

Rob Nai had no hole cards in his hand, and the injuries he suffered before had not healed, and he was finally arrested by Qi Heng's people under such circumstances.

In the palace, the black powder arranged by Rob Nai at various points on Suzaku Street is actually problematic and will not cause casualties.

But some people don't know.

After Rob Nai was arrested, the tortoiseshell spies in the palace were finally completely wiped out.

Qi Heng used thunderous methods to extract confessions from those people, and then removed all the fake black powder placed everywhere according to what those people said.

As for those on Suzaku Main Street, they were not so lucky.

When Qi Heng's people arrived at Zhuque Street and found Bai Qi, and told Bai Qi the news about Mrs. Li, someone happened to ignite the black gunpowder buried in the Prince's Mansion.

Those black gunpowder did not explode, but they emitted bursts of flames, burning the Prince's Mansion and several surrounding mansions alive.

It was at that time that Mr. Bai rushed into the secret passage behind the rockery with others desperately, and carried out Mrs. Li who was imprisoned inside.

The flames were all over the sky, old man Bai came out of the prince's mansion with Mrs. Li in his arms, and all his old friends surrounded him and asked concerned.

After hearing these descriptions, Bai Jinli couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Why does this scene sound surprisingly similar to the scene of the dream she had before?
But luckily, the dust finally settled down.

Now, her only hope is that the news of victory will come from the border as soon as possible.

She was still worried about Lin Chenyuan.
