Chapter 171 Flower Party
Emperor Zhou knew very well that ever since he had the intention to depose the crown prince, the crown prince had been very resentful of the rise of other princes. He suppressed the power of every single prince. As a result, if Emperor Zhou deposed the crown prince, no other prince would be able to take the throne for a while.
Before, Emperor Zhou wouldn't have cared about it.
Since there is no one to take over for the time being, he will just wait. It won’t be too late to appoint a crown prince after a few years after deposing him.
But the problem is that Zhou Huangquan’s actions now involve Bai Yanli!
This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate!
Bai Yanli grew up outside and is a businessman. He has no scheming or power at all!
He actually attacked Bai Yanli, who was on good terms with the King of Wei, just to deal with him!
He hated this behavior very much!
If something happened to Bai Yanli before he returned to the palace, he would want to raze his prince's mansion to the ground!
"Prince." Emperor Zhou exhaled, looked at Zhou Huangquan coldly and said, "You have to eat one mouthful at a time and walk one step at a time. More haste makes waste. You are walking too fast. Be careful that it may backfire."
What he meant by this was to remind the prince that it would be fine if he just did minor things on a normal day, but if he touched his reverse scale, he would not forgive him!
The prince naturally understood the meaning of these words. He smiled in his heart, but his face was still innocent. "Don't worry, father. No matter how bad I am, I will never do anything to the King of Wei. If anyone dares to do something to the King of Wei, I will be the first one to make him pay for it!"
The prince is good at performing.
Emperor Zhou had long been tired of it.
He didn't say anything else, just waved at him: "Okay, you can go down."
"Your son will take his leave." The prince stood up and left respectfully.
As soon as he left, Emperor Zhou sat down with a gloomy face. He originally thought it was safe to leave Bai Yanli outside for the time being.
I didn't expect that I would still be implicated.
The main reason was that he was too naive and wanted to help him. This child was smart, but he had no idea how terrifying Chaodou was.
Li Bo saw that Emperor Zhou was frowning, so he stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty?"
Emperor Zhou's eyes darkened and he said, "It seems that we should bring Yan Li to the palace as soon as possible."
Rather than being unsafe outside, it is better to be with him, where you will be safer and grow faster.
The first step to do this is to announce his identity in front of everyone.
After hearing this, Li Bo nodded thoughtfully.

It is early spring.
The flowers in the backyard of Wu Ying, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, are blooming. Miss Wu invites the ladies to go and enjoy the flowers.
The Wu residence was not large, but Wu Ying's mother was a neat woman who was very good at arranging things. Various flowers were placed all over the yard, and the fragrance filled the air, making the small yard look very elegant.
After Wu Ying brought all the noble ladies in, she left for something, leaving Tang Wanru and the others to enjoy the flowers in the garden by themselves.
"Where did she go?" While chatting, Miss Zhang pulled Miss Li aside and asked curiously.
Seeing that there were not many people around, Li Yuyan said, "Haven't you heard that her aunt just started making a scene again. She complained that her mother arranged the garden but she didn't like it."
"Is that her father's cousin?"
"Isn't that right?" Li Yuyan whispered, "I heard she's not easy to mess with. At first she lived in the mansion as a cousin, and then one day she got pregnant and said it was her father's child. Although she didn't keep the child, she still got a position. She's really scheming."
"That's true. Wu Ying has a hard time every day." The two people sighed.
The two were talking, but they didn't notice that Tang Yue'er was eavesdropping on them from behind.
cousin?
Tang Yueer's face darkened, as if she had thought of something.
She was in a daze when she suddenly heard a pleasant voice: "Sister, are you looking for me?"
Tang Yue'er then remembered that she came to find Tang Wanru.
That day, Zhao Mengyi told her that the Bai Mansion was heavily guarded and there was no way to send anyone in. She wanted to find out what was going on, but she didn't expect to hear such a conversation as soon as she arrived in front of Tang Wanru.
"Yes, sister, I——"
"Stop gossiping!" Tang Wanru suddenly turned to the two people who were still talking about this matter and said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no other way. We just need to remember that we must never bring these unclear relatives home in the future. It will only add to our lifetime of troubles."
The two people nodded: "That's right."
Tang Yueer: ...
Tang Wanru smiled and turned back to look at her: "Hey? Sister, why do you look so bad?"
"What happened?"
"No, nothing." Tang Yue'er was embarrassed for a moment. She adjusted her state and turned back to the topic, "Sister, has your family encountered any trouble?"
trouble?
Tang Wanru looked at her in surprise.
"Then why has the Bai Mansion been on high alert these past two days, with guards patrolling day and night and no outsiders allowed to enter?" Tang Yue'er said, "Is there any enemy?"
Oh.
Tang Wanru understood instantly. Since Tang Yue'er asked this, it must be that the Bai Mansion had caused her trouble.
Seeing her hesitation, Tang Yueer continued, "What I mean is, sister, if you encounter any difficulties, don't hide them. You have to tell me. After all, I am married to the Yongning Marquisate. There are some things that the Marquisate has more means than the Bai family, and they will help you."
Ah.
Tang Wanru was almost moved by the sincerity of her words. She smiled and said, "It's rare that my sister thinks of me. I'm fine at home."
"elder sister--"
"I haven't made any enemies. But you, my sister—"
Since she mentioned trouble, she would create some trouble for her. So Tang Wanru changed the subject and her eyes suddenly focused on her belly, "Sister, your belly should have been more than three months old, why don't you look pregnant at all?"
What? Tang Yueer trembled all over when she heard it!
As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted the attention of other noble ladies.
The most attracted person was Yang Lingling, who had just been diagnosed with pregnancy and was very interested in the matter. She was originally on the other side of the garden, but when she heard this, she hurried back and squeezed through the crowd to see. She was extremely surprised when she saw it: "Really, Madam, you are already more than three months pregnant. Why is your belly so small?"
