Chapter 111: Day of Determination
Protect?
After listening to his words, Tang Yue'er felt herself shivering even colder. He didn't even know how to protect himself, so how could he protect her?
"Prince, but the Marquis' Mansion..." If she went there now, she would be like a moth flying into a flame.
"Yuer." Zhou Ziyue held her hand in front of everyone and said word by word, "Even though the Marquis' Mansion is in turmoil now, I will do my best to protect you and the child. Yueer, please believe me."
Looking at Zhou Ziyue's determined eyes, Tang Yue'er thought of all the grievances she had experienced in recent days.
She thought about how she was fighting alone and no one was helping her.
She couldn't hold it back and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Prince, are you telling the truth?" Is this all over? Are the days of being hurt by rumors really over?
Zhou Ziyue gave her a comforting smile: "Yeah."
The city in Tang Yue'er's heart suddenly relaxed, she burst into laughter and threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her.
At this moment, she had already given up everything.
They are each other's salvation.
The rain began to fall again. Zhou Ziyue stood up and admitted to everyone that the child in her belly was his. He also confirmed that he would marry Tang Yueer, and then hugged her and left.
Soon, Liu An cleared the scene and reprimanded everyone present, saying that if anyone dared to slander Tang Yue'er again, the Marquis' Mansion would never tolerate it.
No one dared to say anything and they all dispersed.
The carriage of the Marquis' Mansion also left in the mud.
Not far away, under a pink and white lotus umbrella, stood a girl wearing a warm yellow cloak. The girl looked grimly through the layers of rain at the carriage going away.
A hint of cold smile flashed across her pupils.
Tang Wanru knew that at this moment, Tang Yueer, who had experienced hardships, must feel that the man in front of her was her salvation.
In fact, her hell on earth had just begun.
A gust of wind blew, but it couldn't blow away the coldness on Tang Wanru's body.
At the same time, leaning on the railing on the second floor of the street, Bai Yanli was quietly watching everything downstairs.
His gaze turned from the carriage driving away from the Marquis' Mansion to Tang Wanru under the umbrella.
He knew long ago that Tang Wanru would not marry Zhou Ziyue.
But no one expected that her purpose was to bring Tang Yue'er and Zhou Ziyue together.
Let Tang Yueer marry into the Marquis's Mansion.
It seems that she has known for a long time that the Marquis' Mansion will be convicted.
Looking at her thin back in the rain, at that moment, Bai Yanli suddenly felt that she had more secrets than he had imagined.
At that moment, the chill emanating from her was even more intense than that day.

After the rain, the sky cleared and a horse galloped towards the palace.
The gates of the palace opened one by one, and the horses galloped away, trampling the muddy water after the rain. The man on the horse had his long hair tied back, and was wearing a silver-blue stand-up collar embroidered long gown, and he galloped towards the palace wantonly and unrestrainedly.
Changming Palace.
Emperor Zhou was worried about one thing. The prince's camp was very strong. Although there were some results from disintegrating it from the outside, the effect was slow. He was thinking about where to start so as to deal a direct blow to the prince.
At this time, Li Bo ran in: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has entered the palace."
"What?" Emperor Zhou stood up immediately. His face was full of excitement. It was the first time that Emperor Zhou showed joy in all his years on the throne. From Longquan Temple to Yunxiang Tower, Emperor Zhou was eager to recruit talents from Bai Yanli.
Emperor Zhou was once very worried and didn't know how to get him into the palace to help him.
But finally I thought of this remote path.
That is Tang Wanru.
It seems that this arranged marriage was on point, and Bai Yanli finally entered the palace. Thinking of this, Emperor Zhou and Li Bo looked at each other and hurried out to greet her.
Bai Yanli rode directly to the door, threw the whip to the young eunuch, and walked in.
"Yan Li." Emperor Zhou came out and shouted.
Bai Yanli saluted without arrogance or servility: "Your Highness."
"No need to be polite! No need to be polite!" Emperor Zhou took Bai Yanli into the palace. When he got to the palace, Emperor Zhou looked at the heroic Bai Yanli again. He felt very proud when he thought that this was his son.
Although Bai Yanli has always been raised among the common people, his arrogance and confidence are unmatched by his many princes.
"Yan Li." Emperor Zhou asked with a smile, "Have you set a date for the wedding?"
A smile appeared on Bai Yanli's handsome face, and he replied, "Your Majesty, the date has not been set yet. I entered the palace today for this matter. Please grant me a good day."
The marriage was granted by the emperor, so Bai Yanli naturally had to return this right and express his gratitude.
Emperor Zhou nodded and said, "The eighth day of next month is a good day. Why don't you welcome the eldest daughter of the Tang family into your residence on that day?"
"Yanli thanks His Majesty!" Bai Yanli immediately bowed.
Li Bo jumped when he heard the word Yan Li. Why did this guy still call himself Yan Li at this time? Didn't the emperor do so many things just to recognize him? He wouldn't be unwilling, right?
Thinking of this, Li Bo's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly instructed: "Seventh Prince, why are you still calling him Your Majesty? Isn't this chilling His Majesty's heart? Call him Father quickly."
Emperor Zhou also looked unhappy.
Last time he acknowledged Bai Yanli, but he never changed his mind. It would be too much if he still didn't change his mind now.
Bai Yanli lifted his eyelids to look at him and replied calmly, "Father is worried about my son's marriage."
At this moment, Emperor Zhou only felt a warm current surging up from the soles of his feet.
Bai Yanli added: "I am a humble and inexperienced child. If your Majesty is willing, I am willing to do my best to help you relieve your worries and difficulties."
It's done!
A huge weight lifted off Li Bo's heart. Emperor Zhou felt relieved as well. He stepped forward and helped Bai Yanli up with both hands, then he carefully examined him.
Although times have changed, his childhood cleverness remains.
"Yan Li, I really need your help right now. I am very pleased that you agree to this."
Speaking of this, Emperor Zhou sighed: "I believe you have also seen that there have been undercurrents in the court recently, and my father is also very worried about this matter. Yan Li, I'm afraid your identity must be kept secret for the time being, and wait for the right time."
Bai Yanli nodded: "I will follow my father's orders."

It was already dark when they came out of the palace. The carriage slowly approached and stopped at the door of the Bai family.
Bai Yanli was thinking deeply. The relationship with Emperor Zhou was not simple, even though Emperor Zhou seemed to be very nice to him.
But in fact, the fact that he was kept outside has always been a thorn in Emperor Zhou's heart.
He wants to show his worth.
But at the same time, he also couldn't let Emperor Zhou think that he had evil ambitions or was planning something.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanli's eyes flickered.
In fact, as far as he is concerned, a little bit of trickery can ensure that the Bai family will be safe and sound in this life.
But he was born wild.
Even if it is something that does not belong to him, he may not give it up, let alone something that others covet.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanli smoothed his sleeves with his slender fingers and bowed to get off the carriage. He thought it was late and the people in the mansion should have gone to bed. But he didn't expect that the front hall was brightly lit and there were laughter and joy.
Bai Yanli walked in confidently and saw from afar that in the front hall, Bai Ge and Shang were surrounding a young girl with smiles on their faces.
The girl was wearing a light-colored cloak with white fluff around her neck, highlighting her pretty face. That person was none other than Tang Wanru.
Bai Yanli's heart moved slightly.
Why is she here?
