Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

The idea of ​​cooperating with Hu Xiang was proposed by the Second Prince, who was deeply loved by Emperor Lirang. The Second Prince was acquainted with Hu Xiang and thought that if he joined forces with Hu Xiang, he would surely win a great victory over Rui Dynasty. At that time, the emperor would no longer hesitate and would definitely give him the position of crown prince.

And he will become the undisputed candidate for the crown prince in the eyes of those ministers.

In this way, the throne will definitely be his in the future.

But he had never expected that Hu Xiang was a man of no credibility. Now that the war had begun, Hu Xiang simply ignored the people he sent and the letters he sent, and there was no news from that military advisor anymore.

The Second Prince was so angry that he vomited blood, but the front line had already been opened, and it was obviously impossible to retreat at this time.

Emperor Lirang was furious and took everything out on the Second Prince. After all, if it weren't for his solemn promise, this war would never have started.

Now, Rui Chao has realized that their previous submission was just a pretense, and Shao Wei, who leads the troops in Chizhou, is like a mad dog. He becomes bloodthirsty when fighting. If Hu Xiang really does not participate in this battle, Lirang's defeat will be doomed.

So Emperor Liyang had to give up his dignity again and thought about sending envoys to the Ruichao Palace to surrender to the Ruichao Emperor again.

Shao Wei understood the thoughts of the people of Lirang and stepped up the offensive, forcing Lirang to retreat step by step.

If this battle can be ended before the envoys from Liyang are sent out, no country will dare to covet the land of Ruichao for at least five years.

Ming Sheng slapped his thigh when he saw this, and he wanted to jump onto the roof and jump around a few times.

"But isn't your worry a bit unnecessary? Without Hu Xiang, Li Rang's failure is obviously doomed. Even if they really send envoys to the palace to surrender, His Majesty will not trust them anymore."

Gu Qinghe shook his head gently, "Maybe not."

Telling some things to MSCI now would actually shake his heart, which has not yet accepted any negative factors.

If it were when he was young, Emperor Rui would certainly not have hesitated at all and would have let Shao Wei fight without restraint, defeating Lirang so badly that they would not dare to invade again.

But as people get older, they lose their courage as well as their ambition.

As suspicion increases, fear and greed also increase.

He thought that everyone he saw was trying to seize power and usurp the throne. Even if it was his favorite son, he did not want to pave the way too smoothly for him. Otherwise, if the road was too smooth, in the future, in the mouths of the people and in the hearts of future generations, he, the emperor, would be forgotten, and instead the next emperor would be praised highly. This was something he could never accept.

The few lines at the bottom of the letter suddenly became neat and compact, completely different from the wild and flamboyant handwriting above.

That was written specifically for her by Shao Wei.

When I thought of her, my restless heart gradually became gentle, and even my handwriting became more restrained.

Gu Qinghe burst out laughing.

He was honest about the reason why he was so impatient to launch an attack on Lirang and wanted to attack Lirang Palace directly tomorrow.

There was also some selfish motives mixed in with it.

That is, he just wanted to end the war as soon as possible and then come to Gu Qinghe.

……

Because of what the Ninth Prince had done, the Great Prince of Huxiang State planned to leave the next day to express his anger.

Lan Jin was a smart man. When the emperor and the empress tried to persuade him to stay, he told them about Prince Jiu's behavior. By the time the emperor, with a gloomy face, sent someone to invite Prince Jiu, several people had already boarded the carriage to Huxiang.

Gu Qinghe and the eldest prince Yan Rou were sitting in the same carriage. Ouyang Xia looked listless as soon as she opened her eyes. In order to avoid trouble, she did not even tell Lan Yu that she was leaving. She got on the carriage and set off while Lan Yu was still asleep.

But it shouldn’t be important to Lan Yu, after all, he has An Ning to accompany him now.

After leaving the imperial city, Ouyang Xia shook off his previous depression and became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Gu Qinghe was somewhat curious, "You survived after leaving the imperial city of Yun State?"

Ouyang Xia threw a grape into his mouth and said with a smile: "Of course, I have been a bodyguard for nearly half a year. Now I am finally free to do my own things. You don't know, let alone hugging those beauties, I don't even know how long it has been since I last held a man's hand."

Yan Rou at the side raised her eyes.

Gu Qinghe felt a little embarrassed. She quietly lifted the curtain on the window and looked outside. Well, although Mingsheng was following the carriage, it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he should not be able to hear the conversation inside.

So Gu Qinghe cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Holding hands."

"What?" Ouyang Xia didn't react.

"Don't you remember what happened after you got drunk yesterday?" Ouyang Xia swallowed the grape in his mouth without even spitting out the skin. He pointed out with wide eyes and trembling, "Are you saying that I was worse than a beast and attacked Ming Sheng?"

Gu Qinghe nodded deeply at the word "worse than beasts", with a deep face and lowered voice, "Even rabbits don't eat grass near their nests. I don't care about other things, but Mingsheng will definitely not do it. If Mingxuan knows about this, you will be finished and so will I."

Ouyang Xia swallowed.

Although she would make a few jokes to Ming Sheng from time to time, she really didn't have that intention.

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fake wine harms people."

Yan Rou, who was standing at the side, spoke faintly, "It's normal. It's easy for a person to be lonely if he doesn't have someone who understands him. So, when we get to Huxiang, I'll find you two stunning beauties, and I guarantee you won't have time to think about anything else."

Ouyang Xia looked at Yan Rou with a look of regret for not meeting her earlier, "How beautiful is she? Your Majesty, I'm a bit picky."

"Don't worry," Yan Rou said with a proud look on her baby face, "How can my vision be wrong?"

Thinking of Lan Jin's appearance, Ouyang Xia nodded with confidence, "I want someone who is sensible and can act coquettishly and clingy."

Gu Qinghe: “…”

Yan Rou also looked at her with a smile, "How about you come with two of us? The men in Huxiang are hard to come by."

"...No," Gu Qinghe's lips twitched. In order to prevent the two from persuading her, she changed the subject first, pointed at the tip of the small tail exposed at Yan Rou's waist, and whispered, "Is this the poisonous insect that the prince is carrying?"

Yan Rou lowered her head and grinned immediately, pulling out the little tail. It was a small green snake as thick as a finger, coiled on Yan Rou's arm, with a pointed head and its tongue moving back and forth, staring at the two of them.

Gu Qinghe was really a little afraid of this soft thing without bones or feet, so he quietly moved a step to the side.

"Don't be afraid. Xiaoqing has been with me for many years. She won't bite anyone without my order."

This was the poison that she claimed belonged to her alone when she was fifteen. Although Xiaoqing's poison was not the strongest, it was the most human.
