He didn’t even know the person behind the tragedy that happened in the Forbidden Forest, but he knew that it was because of that unknown person that things became like this.

Bai Renshu would not have committed suicide if Shao Meihui had not died, and Shao Meihui would not have been killed if the Three-Headed Snake had not come out of the forest core. And the dangerous beast didn’t just come out of the core by itself, but the beast was able to get out of the core because someone intentionally broke the barrier around the core.

It was the three people that Bai Guowei hired that had broken the barrier, but someone must be behind the three men, but there was still no guarantee that Bai Guowei was indeed the one who ordered those people to break the barrier.

In his previous life, Bai Chen rarely used his brain to think, but he was suddenly forced to use this brain properly in this world, and that was why he felt burdened by it.

He had continued to sigh heavily ever since he left the Imperial Palace, and even if his mother in his previous life had often told him not to sigh like that, he couldn’t help but do so when his mind was distracted by many things without giving him any space to rest.

When he arrived at his palace, he did not see Zhu Ge or Ma Qiao waiting for him in front of the Jing Pavilion, and that was why he quietly entered the pavilion without trying to find the two figures.

He had indeed come to the Imperial Palace alone to attend Bai Renshu’s funeral, and before he headed to the Rongyao Imperial Palace, he had told his two servants to patiently wait for him in his palace.

However, he didn’t see the shadows of his two servants when he finally returned to his palace, but he didn’t bother going around to look for them as he just quietly placed himself on his bed.

.....

He was sitting on the bed, and his blue eyes were directed at the wooden floor inside the pavilion, but the pair of eyes looked empty because the owner also didn’t know what to think at the moment.

“Too many things to think about, and my brain hurts,” Bai Chen muttered to himself as he sighed once again. “Bai Renshu has died, and it can be said that I’m one step closer to the throne, but there is still one final enemy that I must defeat. Unfortunately, my biggest rival right now is Emperor Bai Guowei, and I believe it will be even more difficult to get rid of him. Moreover, I also don’t want to kill the Emperor directly just to snatch the throne from him.”

Bai Chen even thought about how he might need to kill the Emperor so that he could reach the throne as soon as possible, but he had to admit that killing the Emperor was not the best option.

He didn’t want to be a villain in this world, and he also knew that the Emperor was much stronger than him, and it was impossible even if he wanted to kill the ruler of Dong Lang.

“This isn’t the time to be thinking about that,” Bai Chen shook his head as he tried to shake off thoughts of the Emperor, and his hands quickly slipped between his clothes before pulling something out of his white robes.

It was a piece of paper that he got from Bai Guowei, but the Emperor told him that Bai Renshu was the one who had written the letter for him. From the outside of the folded paper, he could indeed see his name, but because he had never paid attention to Bai Renshu’s writing before, he was not so sure that Bai Renshu wrote the letter for him.

“But the Emperor told me that it was indeed Bai Renshu who wrote this letter for me, and I don’t think the Emperor would lie to me about such a thing,” Bai Chen decided as he continued to observe the piece of paper in his hand.

It was just an ordinary piece of paper, and it wasn’t large either, so Bai Chen assumed that Bai Renshu didn’t write too many words on the paper before finally deciding to commit suicide in Zuigao Hall.

Even if he had doubts in his heart, Bai Chen decided to carefully open the paper, and he was immediately greeted by the neat writings on the paper.

Judging from Bai Renshu’s classy and elegant character, Bai Chen assumed that the writing really suited the man, and he thought that it was indeed the man who had written the letter for him on purpose.

For some reason, Bai Chen felt a little nervous in his heart, but he started to read the writing on the paper.

[“If you can read this writing, then you must be Bai Chen, and you should read this letter carefully because I will tell you some important things related to you and your mother. Just take this as the prize after you won our bet.”]

It was the first paragraph written in the letter, and Bai Chen remembered how he asked for a prize from the man when they were still in Zuigao Hall yesterday, thinking that he did deserve the prize after he managed to come out of the Forbidden Forest after the Beast Hunting Event.

The ‘prize’ was unexpected, but Bai Chen was more focused on how Bai Renshu would want to talk to him about something related to his ‘mother.’

When the Crown Prince was alive, the man only mentioned Tang Yanmei if he wanted to insult her, so Bai Chen was surprised when Bai Renshu suddenly wrote something about the woman who had destroyed his family in the past.

Bai Chen’s mind was troubled by many questions, but he decided to continue reading the letter.

[“I know we hated each other for many years, and I also know that you have suspected me of killing your mother, but I can say that it wasn’t me who killed your mother. Someone else did it, and that person was probably with you all this time.”]
