"In the beginning, I was young, and although I had heard about this matter, I didn't pay much attention to it. Many details were unclear to me."
Emperor Beichen sighed softly, "I will send someone to investigate this matter."
"Thank you."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly and did not refuse Emperor Beichen's help.
At present, she did not have enough strength to deal with that level. With Emperor Beichen's assistance, she could gain a better understanding of the situation.
However, Emperor Beichen felt an unprecedented heaviness in his heart.
If Baili Hongzhuang's identity was truly as speculated, then wouldn't her enemies be the entire Lan family?
Although he hadn't spent much time with Baili Hongzhuang, he knew her temperament well. Once she confirmed the truth, she would undoubtedly seek revenge!
By then, it would be extraordinarily tragic.
The night passed without words.
Baili Hongzhuang was immersed in the news about the Lan family's token. Although she was still uncertain about this information, after learning about Lan Yunxiao's situation, she had a faint premonition that this was related to her own identity!
She believed that Lan Yunxiao would not inexplicably turn against the Lan family. Something must have happened that he couldn't tolerate, leading him to leave the Lan family with his wife and daughter.
Initially, she had thought her parents were ordinary people. Even if they were being chased, there was still a possibility of survival if they were lucky.
Now that she knew her parents were being pursued by the Lan family, and considering the Lan family's power, their chances of survival if they mobilized their forces... were slim.
Even though she didn't have a clear understanding of what had happened in the past, she could imagine how brutal it had been.
Unless they had no other choice, they would never have left her behind.
Emperor Beichen also didn't sleep a wink that night. He couldn't deny the immense shock Baili Hongzhuang's identity had brought him.
Even if she wasn't Baili Zhentao's biological daughter, this news was no less shocking than if she were the daughter of the Lan family. There must be a significant reason behind it.
As soon as the day broke, the two of them got up early. Today, they had to go to the palace first to express their gratitude to the Emperor and Empress.
At the same time, news of the Emperor's marriage spread throughout the streets and alleys. Baili Zhentao's resentful departure left many people sighing with emotion.
"So, General Baili was the first to sever his relationship with the Emperor's wife. No wonder the Emperor's wife left from the Qinzhuang Garden."
"In my opinion, General Baili must be regretting it so much right now. He never expected the Emperor's wife to be so outstanding."
"Compared to her, Baili Yuyan is truly incomparable to the Emperor's wife. What if she has exceptional talent in cultivation? She is still venomous at heart!"
The affairs of the General's Mansion had become the hottest topic of discussion among the people. The existence of Baili Hongzhuang had always drawn attention to the General's Mansion, and now that Baili Hongzhuang had become so remarkable, the General's Mansion became the center of attention.
"I heard from my young master that the Emperor's wife is undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the imperial city. He went to observe the ceremony of the Emperor's marriage yesterday!"
"That's right, I heard about it too. Honestly, I think the Emperor's wife is even more beautiful than the Prime Minister's daughter, Li Yuyue."
"You make sense. The Emperor's wife is truly the most beautiful woman!"
...
When Baili Hongzhuang returned to the Wang Mansion from the palace, she had already acquired the title of the imperial city's most beautiful woman, although she was completely oblivious to it.
"I will go rest in my room first."
Baili Hongzhuang shut the door on Emperor Beichen, who followed her, feeling more exhausted than if she had fought with someone.
"My wife, I want to rest in my room too," Emperor Beichen said with a bright smile.
