Xiao Qin looked at the emperor's expression and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. This emperor had always aspired to be a wise ruler who would go down in history, but he did not have much tolerance for others.

Seeing that the Bai family's reputation in the public eye was growing higher and higher and their military achievements were becoming more and more outstanding, the 150,000 Bai family soldiers only obeyed the orders of Bai Hainian of the Bai family.

So much so that when he was planning these things, His Majesty the Emperor knew about it and even acquiesced to it, only because he was not only afraid of the Bai family, but also coveted the Bai family's Yueying Guards.

But after the incident with the Bai family, the Bai family's Moon Shadow Guards also disappeared. His Majesty has spent a lot of effort looking for them over the years, but he didn't expect that the Third Prince would find the few remaining members of the Moon Shadow Guards.

I have to say that those people are worthy of being from the Bai family. Their abilities are indeed good. It's a pity that too many Moon Shadow Guards sacrificed their lives back then, and only these few are left.

Looking at the threatening look in the emperor's eyes, Xiao Qin suddenly found it a little funny. Now that he was in this state, what else was there worth threatening him?

He suddenly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you know when I did these things? You didn't stop me, didn't you acquiesce?

Back then, the Bai family had a great reputation among the people. Weren't you afraid of the Bai family's power in the army? You were attracted by the Bai family's Moon Shadow Guards. Back then, the Bai family's Moon Shadow Guards were even more powerful than the secret guards you had!

I, Xiao Qin, did all these, but didn't you acquiesce to them? If you had stopped them, the Bai family and the Bai family army would not have been destroyed in the northern border.

You claim to be a wise ruler, but what wise ruler would ignore the border troops like you? Because of fear, the men of the Bai family and the Bai family army all died in the northern border.

I, Xiao Qin, was wrong, but does that mean you, Your Majesty, are innocent?"

Xiao Qin spoke quickly and urgently. Others were shocked by the key points he highlighted, but the emperor was angry. As soon as Xiao Qin finished speaking, the emperor stood up and threw the inkstone at Xiao Qin.

"Someone, take this nonsense guy down and chop him up!"

The emperor no longer had the dignity of a ruler as he once had. He now looked more like an angry old man.

He felt panic, anger, and shame at having his inner thoughts exposed. Although there were still some useful generals in the court, none of them could compare to Bai Hainian.

After the fall of the Bai family, the Northern Territory was in turmoil for several years. Otherwise, why would he send his eldest son to the Northern Territory? Fortunately, the child did well, but he also suffered too much.

It’s not that he didn’t regret it at that time, but regret couldn’t change anything.

His Majesty the Emperor shouted at someone to drag Xiao Qin away. Xiao Qin shouted that His Majesty was not innocent either. His Majesty shouted at him to drag him away. Xiao Qin's shouting gradually faded away, and everyone in the hall was looking at His Majesty.

Bai Yuyan looked thoughtfully at the most distinguished man of Canglan Country, "Your Majesty, is what Xiao Qin said true?"

The emperor looked at the young man who was kneeling down to ask him a question and roared, "Song Xiao, are you questioning me?"

Bai Yuyan was unmoved and still insisted, "May I ask your Majesty, is what Xiao Qin said true?"

The emperor reached out and took Ou Ben's letter and threw it at Bai Yuyan, "How insolent!"

Bai Yuyan did not dodge or evade, and stood still, "Your Majesty, do you know about Xiao Qin's plot to murder the Bai family?"

As Bai Yuyan finished speaking, many of the court officials present knelt down and said, "Back then, Bai Hainian protected the northern border but failed to protect the hundreds of thousands of Bai family soldiers and the women and children of the Bai family.

If Bai Huannian and the Bai family soldiers had not protected them with their lives, it is hard to say what the situation in the Northern Territory would have been like. The Bai family protected the Canglan Kingdom, and the Bai family should not have ended up like this.

Not only the common people cannot accept it, but even the hundreds of thousands of heroes in the Bai family army cannot agree to it. They are all sons, husbands, and fathers. How many families lost their pillars back then? So, Your Majesty, please tell us about the situation back then!"

Chu Mo also asked at this time: "Father, do you really know?"

Many of the generals present couldn't help feeling a sense of grief and they all knelt down to ask questions. The Emperor was stunned by the scene. He didn't expect that even at his old age, he could be forced to this extent by the court officials.

He sat on the dragon throne somewhat exhausted, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

The final result was that His Majesty the Emperor admitted that he was aware of the situation back then, but because of the Bai family's reputation in the military he chose to sit idly by, which led to the fate of the Bai family and the Bai family army.

His Majesty the Emperor wrote an edict of repentance, admitting his mistakes to the world, and then fell ill.

Xiao Qin was sentenced to immediate execution, and the rest of the people in Jingbei Marquis's Mansion were exiled.

Bai Yuyan regained his identity as a member of the Bai family. In order to make up for the Bai family, the Emperor conferred the title of Marquis of Wuwei on Bai Yuyan, which was hereditary.

After His Majesty issued the edict of repentance, Bai Yuyan opened the Bai family ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors of the Bai family. After the Bai family's house was renovated, it became the Wuwei Marquis Mansion.

Su Lanxin found a time to pack up the Bai family's assets and the Bai family token and returned them to Bai Yuyan, but Bai Yuyan refused to take them no matter what.

In the end, Su Lanxin persuaded again and again, saying that her brother also wanted to marry a wife and run the Wuwei Marquis Mansion. Those industries were the foundation of the Wuwei Marquis Mansion in the future. The order of the head of the Bai family was given to Bai Shu after Bai Hainian realized something was wrong. She had managed to keep it with great difficulty and was tired of managing it for so many years.

Bai Yuyan eventually took over the Bai family's business and Yueying Guard, but Su Lanxin continued to run Yunxiao Pavilion and the escort agency.

As for Bai Qi and others who came from the Yueying Guard, it was up to them to choose whether to return to the Yueying Guard or continue doing their original business. Bai Qi naturally chose to continue running Yunxiao Pavilion.

There were quite a few people who chose to return to the Yueying Guard and join the Bai family, but Bai Yuyan selected a lot of people who had retired from the battlefield for Su Lanxin.

It was only after Su Lanxin took over that she realized she was a little uncomfortable. She was used to being busy before, and now that she had less things to do, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Although there were some personnel changes in Yunxiao Pavilion and the Escort Agency, these did not affect the operation of Yunxiao Pavilion and the Escort Agency. Apart from the initial panic, there were no major problems.

Li Ziyu has become very busy since he came back. Su Lanxin spends every day recuperating at home except dealing with her own matters.

But he was not idle for long, because due to Bai Yuyan's identity change and the fact that he was unmarried, many families were attracted by this Marquis Wuwei, who had status, position and real power.

Bai Yao was the elder, so many people hinted at things from her side. Su Lanxin, as the cousin, naturally had many people sending her invitations as well.

Before, many people looked down on her identity as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family and a businessman, but now she has transformed herself into the only blood-related sister of Marquis Wuwei.

She was dispensable in the Su family, but she was the only cousin in the Wuwei Marquis's Mansion. Plus, the two of them obviously had a good relationship, so naturally, some people came to get close to her.

After Bai Yuyan returned home with her true identity, Li Ziyu suddenly realized why she came to the Northern Territory, and suddenly understood why she was unwilling to reveal anything to him.

Now, suddenly there is an uncle who is always finding fault with me. I am really not used to it!
