Chapter 543: I’m the Great Empress’ Father

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The steward and subordinates did not want to be thrown into jail, but if they rat on Bai s.h.i.+ning, they would not have a good life either.

Just as they were hesitating, a few tough-looking locals beside them pointed at the steward and subordinates’ noses and said, “After you enter the prison, see if 1 will let my brothers beat you to death!”

Lu Ye immediately berated, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

The steward and subordinates were still in pain. When they met their ferocious gazes, they thought that they would really dare to beat them to death in the prison.

Immediately, they cowered.

The steward and subordinates kowtowed to the ground. “General, please spare us. It was our master who asked us to do it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have the guts to hara.s.s that girl.”

Bai s.h.i.+ning’s face immediately turned green. “Nonsense! These ridiculous lackeys are deliberately framing and ruining my innocence!”

In any case, he had already confessed. The steward hurriedly said, “General, I wouldn’t dare. Master is in charge of the gold himself. If he doesn’t give us the gold, we won’t be able to take out 20 taels of gold.”

“General, if you don’t believe me, you can ask around and investigate carefully. Ever since we entered the southern frontier, we only have a few pieces of silver on us. We can’t even use them in the southern frontier.”

“The gold that Master gave us was exchanged in the name of an envoy and mortgaged at the bank.”

The steward thought of something and hurriedly said, “General, if you don’t believe me, you can look at the mark on the gold and the emblem of your Carefree Kingdom.”

Bai s.h.i.+ning was furious. “He must have stolen this gold from outside!”

Lu Ye smiled and said, “Since he stole it, why would he spend 20 taels of gold on you at once?”

Bai s.h.i.+ning argued, “So he deliberately wanted to frame me!”

The steward was shocked. “No, I don’t!”

Ziya’s father said fiercely, “That old thing dares to do it but doesn’t dare to admit it. General Lu, imprison him for a few more years!”

Bai s.h.i.+ning panicked and stammered, “How dare you? I’m an envoy from the Ling Kingdom, and I’m the Great Empress’ biological father!”

He could not go to jail. If he went to jail, how could he give Chu Mingxuan the antidote?

Once he was in jail, he would definitely die.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a moment.

Immediately after, there was another burst of laughter.

“How dare you pretend to be our Great Empress’ father!”

“Pfft, the Great Empress is unlucky for eight lifetimes to be harra.s.sed by a disgusting thing like you.”

“Hahaha, of all people, why did you say that you are related to the Great Empress? Even my teeth will fall out from laughing at this.”

“How dare he insult our Great Empress? This is an even worse crime. We have to lock him up until the end of his life!”

Only a few Ling Kingdom soldiers muttered softly, “The Great Empress of the southern frontier has the surname Bai, and Governor Bai also has the surname Bai. It can’t be true, right?”

“The Great Empress of the southern frontier is in the southern frontier. Moreover, the people of the southern frontier admire her so much. How can they be related?”

“That’s true. That Governor Bai is really good at bragging.”

“Don’t tell me he’s really going to be locked up? If he’s locked up, our Ling Kingdom will lose face and we might go to war?”

“Who knows!”

The soldiers discussed, but Zeng Sanshui and Qu Yuanxian’s expressions turned ugly.

Before Bai Wutong came to the southern frontier, her ident.i.ty was unknown. It was inevitable that it would arouse suspicion when Emperor Ling Hui asked the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort to follow him on a diplomatic mission even though he knew that Chu Tianbao was his real eldest son.

But now Bai s.h.i.+ning had claimed to be the father to the Great Empress of southern frontier.

Qu Yuanxian’s expression immediately changed. Perhaps it was true?

Emperor Ling Hui had sent them here because he wanted Bai s.h.i.+ning to persuade Bai Wutong to submit to the Ling Kingdom and return with Chu Tianbao.

Lu Ye did not have a good impression of the Bai family. Yet, Bai s.h.i.+ning still dared to say that he was the Great Empress’ father.

His expression immediately darkened and he said without hesitation, “Lock them all up and detain them in the southern prison!”

Bai s.h.i.+ning struggled with all his might. “I’m her biological father. If you dare to treat me like this, I’ll definitely make you suffer the consequences!”

Bai Xinshui did not expect Bai Wutong to really be the Great Empress of the southern frontier, nor did she expect the person she married to be the real Eldest Prince.

However, at this moment, she had to take advantage of her position. “Whoever dares to pull my father away, 1’11 get Bai Wutong to destroy you!”

At that time, it was the bandits who pushed Bai Wutong down the mountain. There was no other evidence. Even if Bai Wutong suspected something, they could deny it.

Bai Xinshui called the Great Empress by her name, and Lu Ye’s expression darkened even more.

He definitely did not believe that the Great Empress would have such a lowly family. “Take him away!”

The soldier pulled him away. Bai Xinshui stomped her feet. “Just you wait!”

However, Lu Ye was not afraid of them. With a serious gaze, he went to the rest station’s communication room and called the Great Empress’ residence.

When Chu Tianbao picked up the phone, Lu Ye hurriedly reported the situation to Chu Tianbao.

Chu Tianbao’s expression suddenly turned cold. “Lock them all up!”

Lu Ye was stunned. “Including the Eldest Prince’s secondary consort?”

Chu Tianbao grunted in a low voice and hung up. He was clearly furious.

Lu Ye could not help but be puzzled. Could it be that these people from the Bai family were really related to the Great Empress?

However, looking at Chu Tianbao’s att.i.tude, even if they were related, it was not a good relations.h.i.+p.

Lu Ye immediately arrested everyone in the Bai family.

Bai Xinshui widened her eyes in anger. “What right do you have to arrest me?”

Jia Yuqin hid behind the maidservant and shouted at Zeng Sanshui and the others, who had run out, “These people from Carefree Kingdom are just capturing us for no reason. Are you going to let us be bullied just like that?”

Zeng Sanshui looked at Lu Ye with a dark expression. “You still have a reason to capture Bai s.h.i.+ning. What’s the reason withforcapturing their female members?”

Lu Ye said coldly, “They know very well what they did that the Great Empress has to personally interrogate them!”

Zeng Sanshui and Qu Yuanxian looked at each other and thought of their previous guess. Their hearts skipped a beat.

Even so, Zeng Sanshui insisted, “If you want to capture someone from our Ling Kingdom, you have to give a legitimate reason.”

The corners of Lu Ye’s mouth curled up. “The reason is that they have pretended to be the Great Empress’s close relative and damaged our Great Empress’s reputation. It’s a serious crime in our country!”

Zeng Sanshui could not deny it. He could only watch as Bai Xinshui and Jia Yuqin were taken away.

The soldiers pa.s.sing by muttered, “We’re too cowardly!”

“Shh ~ Don’t let the general hear you.”

Zeng Sanshui also felt quite aggrieved. A small country like them actually did not take them seriously.

However, Chu Tianbao and the Great Empress of the southern frontier had already given birth, so the Carefree Kingdom was also theirs.

Zeng Sanshui’s mood suddenly improved again. When he saw Chu Tianbao, he must tell him to popularize electricity in Ling Kingdom first!

At that time, his lamp would be usable.

They should also install phones so that they could call whoever they wanted at any time and anywhere!

Then, they could also buy an ice machine and place it in their houses in the summer. There would be many frozen watermelons and they could take turns to eat them. If they could not finish the watermelons, they could hold a frozen watermelon gala for those old fellows to watch enviously.

After Bai Xinshui and Jia Yuqin were locked in the cell, they looked at each other and became afraid.. “Mother, could she have found out something?”
