Take back your luck! Kill your crazy enemy and remarry the scumbag uncle

Chapter 154: Death of White Lotus

Bai Lian was already sweating profusely, and looked at Bai Wei with disbelief in his eyes.

She had indeed hoarded the grain in order to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in order to supplement her dowry and make up for the deficit in Prince Qi's Mansion after she married Ouyang Qi.

After all, if His Royal Highness Prince Qi wants to inherit the throne, he needs to win over the court officials and appease the soldiers, which costs a lot of money.

In her previous life, Bai Wei used her generous dowry and the support of Prince Zhennan to help Prince Qi ascend the throne, and she also gained Ouyang Qi's love and respect, so she wanted to replicate her actions to become Ouyang Qi's most important and beloved woman.

Make him look at himself in a new light and regard her as that person as well.

She was even able to stand up after the chaos in the capital, and in the name of the future Prince Qi's concubine, she provided food and relief to the refugees, thus building up her own reputation and that of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone was ruined by Bai Wei.

She even knew that she was behind all this...

This shouldn't be the case... She did this extremely secretly, secretly hoarding grain under the guise of other people. The owners of the grain shops didn't even know who bought it. How did Bai Wei know?

She had planned everything long ago and had found some special people to do this, including finding the shopkeepers when the court discovered that there was no grain in the grain shops in the capital after the city was sealed off. They should not be able to find any flaws. She even thought of a reason to take out the grain later.

How on earth did she find out!

Ouyang Yi stood behind Bai Wei and listened to their words quietly.

All the rice shops that Bai Lian frequented were his properties, and the people she spent a lot of money to find were also his spies secretly arranged through Tingtian Tower. On the surface, they were ruffians on the streets of the capital, but no one in the entire capital knew it.

So when Bai Lian did something secretly, he knew about it almost immediately. He had some guesses at the time, but he was not in a hurry to investigate. But thinking that this matter might be related to Bai Wei, he specially asked Liu Xing to dress up and go there, and secretly told the shopkeeper that if anyone from the general's mansion came to ask, he should find a way to reveal it to her.

In order to make her feel that the information was true, he also told the shopkeeper not to answer immediately and to be hypocritical. Unexpectedly, because of this, the shopkeeper who was questioned by Deputy General Zhao was beaten up.

It was then that he realized that even without him, she could still handle it on her own.

Just like today.

Listening quietly to her charging into battle and being her strongest support, this feeling... is not bad.

"I, I, I don't understand what my eldest sister is talking about?"

Bai Wei smiled brightly: "Since Second Sister doesn't understand, then I can only ask Your Majesty to go and ask the shopkeepers of each rice shop to see if what I said is true."

Ouyang Yi stood behind Bai Wei with a leisurely smile.

If someone were sent forward to testify, the shopkeepers would naturally point out Bai Lian.

Bai Lian has no chance of winning.

But there was one thing he couldn't ignore.

Wei'er said... Bai Lian can predict the future? Could it be that this Bai Lian is also from another world like her?

If this is true, then their world also has good and bad people. Wei'er is so good, but Bai Lian is so annoying.

"Does Second Sister dare?"

Seeing that Bai Lian didn't say anything, Bai Wei spoke again.

Bai Lian felt guilty after all and didn't dare to continue to confront Bai Wei.

When Ouyang Qi saw this, he knew that she really did it. He widened his eyes, full of shock and anger.

The prophet!

He knew she had the ability, but since she had a premonition of this, why didn't she tell him about it? She had to take the initiative to secretly stockpile food. What exactly did she want to do?

At this moment, Ouyang Ming, who had been motionless, reacted and kicked Bai Lian on the shoulder: "How dare you make money from the national crisis!"

The trembling finger pointed at Bai Lian, his face full of anger.

If her insult to Bai Wei that almost caused a refugee riot was just an unintentional mistake, then her not informing anyone of the natural disaster that had occurred around the capital and instead hoarding food was intentional!

What will be the consequences of her hoarding of food?

The shortage of food in the capital made it difficult for the imperial court to dispatch food, and the refugees at the city gates became increasingly restless due to hunger, and eventually riots broke out. When the riots began, the city gates would be closed, and after they were closed, it would be even more difficult for food to enter and leave, and the price of food in the capital would inevitably rise.

This incident will cause irreversible harm to the refugees, the people of the capital, and even to him as the emperor, and she, Bai Lian, is the only beneficiary! Oh, no, there is also Ouyang Qi behind her!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Ming raised his eyes and looked at Ouyang Qi who was standing beside Bai Lian.

Ouyang Qi was shocked and immediately knelt down: "Father, I really know nothing about this matter!"

Making money from the country's misfortune, what a serious crime this is. If it is put on him, even if he is a prince, he cannot bear it. Even if his father did not abolish his position as King Qi, he would never be able to become the next emperor.

Therefore, he must draw a clear line between himself and Bai Lian at this moment, at all costs!

Ouyang Qi clasped his hands together and kowtowed heavily to Ouyang Ming. "Bai Lian did such a rebellious thing because I didn't discipline her properly. I know this matter must not be tolerated. Father, please just make the decision. I won't say a word!"

Bai Lian was kicked quite far away by Ouyang Ming. The dull pain in her shoulder had not completely disappeared when she heard Ouyang Qi's decisive words.

Every word he said was like a sword stabbing her heart.

She did so much for him, but he abandoned her so easily, as if she were abandoning a worn-out shoe of his.

Ouyang Ming looked at Bai Lian, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "If that's the case, then sentence her to death."

It was said lightly, but it could easily decide a life. This was imperial power.

When these words were spoken, Ouyang Qi was visibly stunned, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes when he looked at Ouyang Ming.

He thought that his father might cancel their engagement, or force Bai Lian to become a nun, or even exile her, but he didn't expect that he would actually order her to be executed.

Thinking of this, he looked at Bai Lian, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

does he love her

Only women would say those greasy things. He just needed Bai Lian. He needed her ability to predict the future, her clean and young body, the support of the Shangshu Mansion behind her, and he also needed her to give birth to more and healthier heirs for him!

But now, she was in trouble and it was all her own fault, so she couldn't blame him.

"It all depends on... Father!"

Ouyang Ming kept staring at Ouyang Qi, not missing any expression in Ouyang Qi's eyes.

Because he wanted to know whether his son was involved in this matter. He also wanted to know what his son thought of this woman.

Now it seems... he was probably worrying too much.

Ouyang Ming said to Eunuch Gui: "Bring the poisoned wine."

Eunuch Gui understood instantly.

The emperor intentionally recommended Bai Lian to enhance Prince Qi's reputation.
