"Father, about why the emperor didn't let you lead the army this time," Bai Canglan looked at his father-in-law Qin Yanpeng and explained, "You are over [-] years old, and you have recently suffered from a cough. From you to..."

"Now you and I are a family, how can I care about this with you?" Qin Yanpeng interrupted Bai Canglan, "You are a prince, and you should be the coach, but the emperor really doesn't want me to participate?"

"Father, you can be happy if the emperor doesn't let you participate."

Qin Moyu pondered in her heart, I'm afraid the real reason is not that simple——

The Qin family army defeated the Xianbei Khanate six years ago, and has already made great military achievements. If they do it again, they will start to make great achievements.It is good that the emperor is willing to trust Bai Canglan so much now, but...

"My lord, I will go with you."

"Ayu, don't mess around." Bai Canglan sternly said, "You just wait for me to come back in Beijing, or you can live in your mother's house from now on, so as not to be so lonely. Don't let me have any worries."

"So in your eyes, I'm just a burden?" Qin Moyu pouted, "Even if I can no longer go to the battlefield to fight against the enemy, I can still sit behind the town and be a military adviser... Uh!" Qin Moyu suddenly felt a headache dizzy.

"Ayu?!" Bai Canglan suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong with you?"

"...It's okay." Qin Moyu's dizziness subsided in a moment.However, he also felt a little strange in his heart. Although he often suffered from dizziness and palpitations after his body was damaged back then, after taking medicine for so many years, he has almost recovered.

"No, I'll go find Imperial Physician Liu to show you right now." Bai Canglan also knew Qin Moyu's physical condition very well, and felt that something was wrong, so she dared not neglect her.

So, he invited Imperial Physician Liu to the General's Mansion overnight.

Imperial Physician Liu took Qin Moyu's pulse carefully, with a dignified expression, "Mr. Qin, what kind of medicine did you just take?"

"It's true," Bai Canglan hurriedly replied, "but the effect of the drug should have passed, so is there still an effect?"

"His Royal Highness Cang Cang, it is true that ordinary people will be fine after taking this medicine... But Mr. Qin's body is weak and cannot withstand this tiger-wolf medicine, I'm afraid... the symptoms that have been alleviated will all be stimulated .”

"What!" Bai Canglan was even more surprised and anxious for a while, "Then you must cure him!"

"Doctor Liu, please." Qin Yanpeng was also very worried about Qin Moyu's situation, "I hope I can try my best to treat the dog, and the consultation fee will definitely not be short of you."

"Hey, the old man's official position was recommended by his son, so how could he not try his best to heal him? It's just that now, the old man can only do his best and obey the destiny."

"Do your best to obey the destiny!" Bai Canglan said angrily, "If you can't cure him, this king will punish you severely!"

"My lord, don't be like this," Qin Moyu persuaded, "This is my fate... Forget it, since I am in this situation, I really can't go to the battlefield to drag you down. Then I will live at home and wait you come back."

"...that's good." Bai Canglan's heart ached like a knife, but at this moment she had to leave the person she loved so deeply and was ordered to go to war, "Ayu, you must take care of yourself."

"Canglan, take care too." Qin Moyu reached out and touched Bai Canglan's face, feeling a moment of reluctance in his heart, "You must come back safely."

"It's the first time I've heard you call me that!" Bai Canglan showed joy, "How many more times do you want to call me that?"

"I won't bark anymore." Qin Moyu smiled, "If you want to hear it again, come back earlier, otherwise you will never hear it again."

"Okay..." Bai Canglan hugged Qin Moyu into her arms full of nostalgia, "I will definitely come back soon."

"Hmm. Go."

Qin Moyu is also a dignified man with a heart of serving the country, and will never stop Bai Canglan from serving the country.

He only hated himself for not being able to live and die with him, so he could only send him to the gate of the city with his father, and watch him lead his troops away.

When he watched Bai Canglan's back gradually disappear from his sight, he felt like a big piece was missing in his heart, which was empty.

"Yu'er," Qin Yanpeng patted his son on the shoulder, and said, "Actually, you have already fallen in love with King Cang, right?"

"..."

Is that so?

Getting along day and night for the past six months... No, maybe earlier, I have already been tempted by Bai Canglan.

It's just because of my doubts about the word love in this life, I dare not admit it and face this heartbeat directly.

Now realizing that I might lose him, I realized for the first time how wonderful it was to have lived by his side.

Qin Yanpeng said softly: "Don't worry, King Cang will definitely return safely. It's windy here, let's go back first."

"Thank you dad.

Forget it, Bai Canglan has his mission, and he has his own.

The task now is to make my father realize that the crown prince is not much better than the queen, and he is definitely not a wise candidate.

After a few days, Qin Moyu began to arrange the matter.

It was a holiday, and Prince Bai Zeqian went to swim in the lake with great interest early in the morning.

By the lake, he saw a discordant scene——

A woman in pink is standing by the lake, about to jump into the lake!

"Girl!" Bai Zegan was shocked, and quickly flew forward to grab her arm, "Why did you do such a suicide thing?"

"Don't stop me!" the woman in pink cried, "Now that my family is ruined, what's the point of living alone in this world? Rather than let me starve to death, freeze to death, or even be humiliated to death, it's better to get rid of it now." Good!"

It was only then that Bai Zeqian noticed that although the woman's face was already covered in tears, she could still see that her appearance was extremely beautiful and her figure was also slender and good-looking. In addition, she was crying so much that it was raining like pear blossoms, so he couldn't help feeling pity .

"I don't know why the girl's family was destroyed? If the girl has no place to settle down, maybe I... can take you back to the Prince's Mansion."

"You are the prince?!" The woman in pink heard this, but she shook Bai Zeqian's hand even more heavily, "Your father is about to execute my father, and we will not live together!"

"What?" Bai Zeqian was stunned, "May I ask who your father is?"

"Father Xiao Peirong."

"...So it's Lord Xiao."

Bai Zeqian knew that Xiao Peirong was the former Minister of the Household Department. Because he was reported and verified for accepting a large number of bribes, the emperor sentenced him to ransack his home and behead him, and he would be executed in three days.

However, although the emperor confiscated all his family's property, he did not dispose of his family members. No wonder Miss Xiao was living outside.

"Miss Xiao, do you have any other relatives?"

Xiao Peirong's daughter Xiao Xin shook her head, "No more. My mother passed away early, and my father only has me as an only daughter, so I just said that I am already alone in the world, how can I survive? Don't stop me! "

Xiao Xin said that she wanted to jump into the lake again.

"Miss Xiao, don't do this!" Bai Zeqian simply hugged her from behind, "I can ask my father to plead for your father!"

"Really?!" Xiao Xin looked back at Bai Zeqian, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"You are not joking. I am the future monarch, so of course I am not joking. I will raise this matter with my father tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Although Xiao Xin was bought by Qin Moyu to do this job, and she already has no shortage of money for the rest of her life, but seeing Bai Zeqian's categorical words at this moment, she couldn't help but express a little hope for it. .

Seeing that Bai Zeqian's appearance can be regarded as dignified, and he treats himself with gentleness and consideration, his heart really throbbed.

"Then girl, where are you going tonight, how about I help you find an inn to settle?"

"This... Didn't His Highness say that he wants to take me back to the Prince's Mansion?"

"This... this..." Bai Zeqian scratched his head in embarrassment, "I just meant to take the girl back to be a slave, but since the girl has a noble status, I can't say that again."

"...I thought His Highness would accept me as a concubine."

"Girl, you don't know something," Bai Zeqian smiled wryly, "Of course I am 1 willing, but I have a shrewd wife in my family, who controls me too strictly... Or else, if Miss Xiao doesn't dislike her, she will pretend Be a maid, if we live together in the same mansion, there will always be a chance to be together."

"..." Xiao Xin's throbbing just now was shattered in an instant.She had already heard that the prince was cowardly and fearful of his wife like a tiger, and now it seems that it is absolutely true.

"Forget it. According to His Highness, I will stay at the hotel tonight."

"Okay, I'll take Miss Xiao to the best inn nearby."

After Xiao Xin was settled, Bai Zeqian really brought up the matter in the morning court the next day:

"I would like to report to my father, the former Minister of the Household Department, Mr. Xiao, has made a lot of contributions to our court during his reign. I wonder if my father can spare him the death penalty?"

"What?" The emperor's face suddenly turned cold, "You want me to absolve Xiao Peirong of the crime? Do you know how many taels of gold he took privately, and how many things he did for personal gain and dereliction of duty! Such a person who seriously endangers the court and the country, You want to spare him the death penalty?!"

"Father, calm down!" Bai Zeqian knelt down on the ground in fright.

"You said he made a contribution, but I would like to ask you, what kind of contribution did he make? Could it be that his merits outweigh his demerits?"

"This... this..." Bai Zeqian was sweating coldly, and he didn't know how to answer this question for a while, "I just want my father to spare Lord Xiao's life because I see the orphan girl of the Xiao family is really pitiful..."

"What did you say?!" The emperor was furious when he heard the words, "You asked me to pardon a big corrupt official just for a woman?! You are the current prince, do you know the seriousness of what you do!"

"I know I was wrong!" Bai Zeqian immediately kowtowed heavily, "I just want to stop pleading for Xiao Peirong!"

He did it for women.He fell in love with Xiao Xin at first sight, and he wanted to sell her his favor, but he didn't want to have a bloody enmity with her, which would make it difficult to develop in the future.

The emperor's expression eased a little, "Then you will be fined for three months, and you should think about it."

The emperor originally wanted Bai Zeqian to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, but now that Bai Xiaohe is still grounded, and Bai Canglan has gone to the border to fight again, it seems that there is almost no available prince in the court.

"Thank you father for the light punishment." Bai Zeqian heaved a sigh of relief.

"King Han," the emperor suddenly looked at Bai Hanlang, "you will be by the prince's side for the next three months to assist him and share some affairs for him."

"...Yes, father." Bai Hanlang didn't know why the emperor suddenly remembered himself as an invisible person, so he had no choice but to agree.

Although Bai Zeqian was a little displeased that he was about to be separated from power, he was also thankful that there was no greater disaster.

As a result, when the news spread, when he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he had to face the Crown Princess' quarrel.

The princess didn't expect that he would offend the emperor because of a strange woman, and she was so angry that she fought Bai Zeqian.If it wasn't for worrying about the Queen's existence, she would have broken Bai Zegan's leg.

The Crown Princess is a distant relative of the Empress, and her family is very powerful. The Empress chose this marriage because she wanted to take advantage of her family's power. What's more, Bai Zeqian did something outrageous in this matter. The Crown Princess beat him a few times, and the Empress could not intervene.

When Bai Zeqian appeared in court the next day with a bruised nose and a swollen face, many officials tried their best to hold back their laughter.
