Bai Jingyuan nodded.

The second step of clearing suspicion…

Bai Xianyu already had a plan in mind, which was to rescue the Second Prince of Daqing, Mo Linyuan.

He could not have anything happen to him. If anything happened, coupled with that dart, she would be the most likely culprit.

At the critical moment, even if she had to block the arrow, she had to save him.

This imperial edict gave her a chance to turn things around.

If she saved him, then those people with ulterior motives would not make use of this to stir up trouble. Could they say that the General’s Manor killed and also saved the person?

Moreover, the reason why General’s Manor was punished in her previous life could not stand.

It was all groundless accusations and pressure from Daqing that forced Emperor Wu Xuan to convict them.

With this thought in mind, Bai Xianyu still did not relax her brows when she walked out of Bai Jingyuan’s courtyard.

This method was also the most difficult to achieve.

That was, she had to pay attention to the Second Prince of Daqing at all times. She had to pay attention to the people around him at all times and stay with him as much as possible.

When the envoy arrived, they would be arranged to stay at the Great Xiangguo Temple. She and a group of people would also go to the temple, but they would not stay there together. Fortunately, she had heard from her Third Brother that the assassins would not take action at night, but during the day.

It was obvious that they wanted the officials who were handling the case to find the so-called evidence.

As for the other details, such as the time of assassination, whether it would be by sword or by arrow, she did not know. Third Brother had never told her in detail.

At the beginning of the fifth month of the 16th year of the Qian Era.

Great Kui’s Honglu Temple and the main guest department of the Ministry of Rites were in charge of receiving the Daqing delegation.

Mo Linyuan and more than a hundred of envoy delegates waited outside the hall for the decree to be summoned.

One of them was a delicate-looking girl who followed beside him. The arrogance in her eyes could not be concealed.

“Cousin, when can we go and rest? We’ve been standing for so long.” Mo Xin was a little tired and complained, “May 1 go to the carriage on the side to rest for a while?”

Mo Linyuan glanced at her, “Go ahead.”

Mo Xin nodded and got into the carriage. As soon as she sat down, she glanced at Mo Linyuan and saw a tall and handsome man in a purple court attire with a golden silk belt embroidered with auspicious clouds. He seemed to have said something to Mo Linyuan. His deep facial features seemed to have been exquisitely carved out of ice, and his dark eyes were cold and distant.

Mo Xin could not help but be frozen.

“Princess, we should enter the palace,” someone reminded her softly.

Mo Xin suppressed her pounding heart and nodded shyly.

She had thought that her cousin was already the best-looking man in the world, but she did not expect someone to be even more handsome than him.

Before Bai Xianyu entered the palace, she hesitated for a moment before putting on her heart armor.

Although she had to save him, she had to consider her own safety. If she lost her life saving him, the gains would not make up for the losses.

This was because before officially moving into the Great Xiangguo Temple, there was still a series of cumbersome processes. When Bai Xianyu arrived, she waited for Emperor Wu Xuan to pass down the decree.

About two hours later, Bai Xianyu was summoned into the palace.

This was the palace closest to Wu’an Gate. The imperial guards and cavalry that were preparing to go to Great Xiangguo Temple were all ready to set off, the golden flag embroidered with swimming dragons playing with pearls, and the golden dust glittering under the sunlight.

At this moment, there were five women sitting in the palace. They were all daughters of some Marquis, and one was a daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Bai Xianyu was not very familiar with them. After greeting each other, they stopped talking.

She looked around and finally understood why Emperor Wu Xuan wanted her to come.

When two countries were negotiating, it was enough to send a minister over. Why send a prince along? There was probably the intent to reconcile.

Emperor Wu Xuan had also seen through the other party’s intentions, which was why he had asked these girls to come along.

It was said that a princess had also come. In name, they wanted them to entertain her well and play with her as Great Kui’s people. In fact, it was just to make it easier for the two parties for the marriage alliance to fall in love with each other.

However, in her previous life, after they left the Great Kui, they did not take any actions for the marriage alliance. The people that were invited did not reveal any news, so Bai Xianyu did not think about that at all. Now that she had seen the people that were invited, she felt that something must have happened in her previous life, which was why the marriage alliance did not materialise.

Although Bai Xianyu was not narcissistic, she knew that she was indeed good-looking. If someone really took a fancy to her, she still had a way not to marry him.

The room was a little stuffy, and the girls were each more demure than the other. Bai Xianyu sat for a while before coming out..
