Chapter 336 Clues
If the emperor's brother were still alive, he would be the only heir to the throne.
After all, no prince had been born in the palace for so many years. No matter if someone was asked to perform a ritual or her father kept taking concubines, all the children born were girls.
She ranks eighth in the palace and is the eighth princess of the Holy Land Kingdom.
She is thirteen years old this year. If her royal brother were still alive, he would be nineteen years old this year.
Bai Xuan sighed deeply and walked in the palace.
Just then, she saw a group of people hurriedly heading towards her father's palace.
Those people walked so fast that they almost knocked her down.
"Eighth Princess, I'm sorry."
The leading guard saw her and said.
"It's okay," Bai Xuan waved her hands and asked them curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
The leading guard said, "We have discovered some clues about the eldest prince and are about to report to the emperor."
"Okay, you go."
In fact, Bai Xuan was secretly hoping that she could see her royal brother again.
She had heard her mother, Concubine Li, mention her royal brother no less than a hundred times, although the sisters in the palace usually had a good relationship with her.
But she still wanted to meet her biological brother, the emperor, who was born of the same mother as her.
The royal palace of the Holy Land Kingdom looks different from ordinary royal palaces.
The palace here looks western-style, with white marble walls shining with holy light in the sun. The palace is surrounded by lush gardens full of flowers.
The entire palace looked even more dreamy. Even the palace where Concubine Li lived had furniture inlaid with dazzling gems and silk curtains fluttering in the wind.
Bai Xuan was wearing a pink palace skirt with a waistline, with her long, slightly curly hair scattered on her back, walking in the palace.
She tiptoed behind the guards who were going to report to the emperor of the Holy Land, and hid behind a pillar before they discovered her.
She waited until they moved on and then hurried to catch up.
Among all the princesses, Bai Xuan was quite favored because of her sweet talk and coaxing skills.
The guard led people to the emperor's palace. He put down the official business he was handling and asked, "Any clues?"
"Yes."
Afterwards, the man who seemed to be the chief of the guards compiled the information he had found and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor of the Holy Land had half white hair. He also had a pair of green eyes. He took the thing handed to him by the guard and looked at it.
It said that during the palace coup more than ten years ago, the Queen took people to sneak into Concubine Li's palace and secretly took away the prince who was less than a month old.
Originally, the queen had ordered her subordinates to secretly deal with the prince, but the person who took the prince away saw that the prince was less than a month old and did not cry or make a fuss, and he could not bear it, so he made a bamboo raft, put him on it, and floated along the river.
If no one saw him along the way and he drifted down and died, then that was his fate.
But if someone finds him, adopts him, and keeps him away from the Holy Land, then his mission will be accomplished.
And now, someone saw with their own eyes that someone took the child away from the bamboo raft.
After reading it, the emperor's lifeless green eyes regained their spirits. His voice trembled with excitement, "So, the emperor is still alive."
After he discovered that the queen had taken the child away, he deposed her. He didn't want to get involved in the fights among the concubines in the harem, but if they attacked the royal heir, he would show no mercy.
To this day, the throne of the Queen of the Holy Land has remained vacant. He once ordered that whoever could give birth to another boy for him would be made queen.
However, there were ten princesses in the palace, but no prince was born.
If he had not been injured and could not have children, he would not have been so anxious to find the only heir, the prince.
"Yes, and the people who saw someone carrying the eldest prince away said that the place where the eldest prince drifted to seemed to be the Daning Kingdom. It is a country where women are respected."
"I know, it seems that it is time for us to visit Daning Kingdom."
Bai Xuan stood outside, listening hard.
Seeing someone coming out, she quickly hid, but the pink corner of her clothes still betrayed her.
"Laoba."
Bai Xuan heard her father's voice.
She walked out awkwardly, flattering him, "Your Majesty, you are truly discerning. I had clearly been hiding, but you still found me."
Bai Huang felt a little helpless, but because he was in a good mood, he didn't want to argue with Bai Xuan.
"Have you finished your homework?"
Bai Xuan nodded quickly and said, "It's all done. I just went to see Mother, and she's still grieving over my brother's affairs."
"I have received some news about your brother. I believe we will be reunited in due time."
Bai Xuan's eyes lit up and she asked, "Really?"
"However, you and your sister will need to go to Daning Kingdom together."
"no problem."
Bai Xuan patted her chest.
After that, Bai Huang walked out.
If he could really find his prince this time, he could make him the crown prince, and the throne of empress should be given to Concubine Li.
The place Bai Huang wanted to go was the prison.
It was also the place where the former queen was imprisoned. Ever since she had the prince sent away, the White Emperor was furious and deposed her and imprisoned her.
Bai Xuan was in great spirits when she heard from her father that the whereabouts of her royal brother had been discovered. She even skipped and jumped as she walked.
She was only thirteen years old, a carefree age.
When the White Emperor arrived at the prison, the guard saluted and said, "Your Majesty."
"Get up."
He walked inside, with a jailer lighting a lamp in front of him to lead the way. Until he reached the innermost part, there was a cell where a disheveled woman was sitting on the ground.
She heard someone coming and ran over frantically, grabbing the iron door of the cell.
"You're here to take me away, right?"
Bai Huang couldn't help but frown when he saw her like this.
"You secretly sent the prince away. Do you still remember where you sent him?"
The woman smiled foolishly, and started pulling her hair.
"Hehehe." Her smile sounded a little eerie in the cell.
Bai Huang waited patiently for a while, but still received no response from her.
I saw her picking up the hay on the ground and putting it into her mouth, rolling on the ground, looking unconscious.
"Whether you are pretending to be crazy or really crazy, I came here to tell you that my prince is still alive and he will be back soon."
The woman rolling on the ground continued to roll around as if she hadn't heard anything. She exuded a foul odor, and there were rats and ants in the cell, gnawing at her hair and clothes.
