Chapter 246 Kill
But who else can he assist besides the crown prince?
“Among the emperor’s sons, King Liang is vicious, King Xin is violent, and only the crown prince… although he has no great talent, he is still gentle. But the crown prince is also very much like the emperor… suspicious by nature! So… if you want to assist the crown prince, you must first gain his trust! Just like Mr. Fang… the crown prince trusts Mr. Fang, so he listens to him in everything! The crown prince does not completely trust Mr. Qin, so the crown prince must consider all the strategies Mr. Qin offers.”
Bai Qingyan’s words hit the mark exactly on Qin Shangzhi’s heart, and Qin Shangzhi felt very depressed when this was mentioned.
“But the prince has been using me with caution from the beginning. If I want to gain the prince’s trust, I must… deepen his trust through repeated misunderstandings and solving them again and again.” Bai Qingyan saw Qin Shangzhi frowning and smiled, “Mr. Qin is a gentleman, so he naturally disdains to use this method, but Bai Qingyan is a woman, and… the Bai family is in danger now. I want to preserve the Bai family and fulfill my grandfather’s legacy. I can only act this way. I hope you can forgive me.”
Qin Shangzhi naturally knew the situation of the Bai family. He admired the fact that the Bai family had been able to remain in such a state until today under Bai Qingyan’s hands.
Qin Shangzhi was silent.
It is undeniable that if Bai Qingyan wants to assist the prince, then she needs the prince’s trust more than he does because she is a member of the Bai family.
He suddenly remembered the words this woman had said to him, inviting him to join hands with her to support the Jin Dynasty. This woman’s ambitions were as great as those of the deceased Duke Zhenguo.
Whatever…be it scheming or tricks! She was doing it to assist the future ruler of Jin. As long as it didn’t harm the interests of Jin, what was wrong with that?
Qin Shangzhi also didn’t want to see a talent like Bai Qingyan being repeatedly hindered by Mr. Fang when he was giving advice to His Highness.
If the future king of Da Jin could rely on Bai Qingyan, what a vast and magnificent scene Da Jin would become.
Qin Shangzhi couldn’t help but think of the scene that one day in the future, Bai Qingyan would command the Jin army for the Jin emperor, and he would advise the Jin emperor on internal affairs. He thought that by that time… the Great Jin would definitely become a country that would have the strength to annex the five kingdoms and unify the world.

When Bai Qingyan came back, Ji Langhua was rubbing his eyes, standing at the door of her room with a medicine box in hand, waiting to apply medicine to her. When he saw Bai Qingyan coming back, he bowed and saluted: “Little Bai Shuai…”
“It’s so late, you can rest first. The dressing change will be the same tomorrow.”
Bai Qingyan always treated this woman whom Bai Qingming had once saved differently.
“Let’s finish today’s work today! I can sleep well only after I change your medicine.” Ji Langhua was humble and respectful. He followed Bai Qingyan into the room, closed the door, washed his hands and changed her medicine.
Just as I wrapped Bai Qingyan with fine white cotton cloth, I heard a slight sound from Bai Qingyan’s internal organs.
As soon as Bai Qingyan came back, he went to find the prince and didn’t even have time to eat.
Ji Langhua washed his hands, took his medicine box and said goodbye. Less than two cups of tea later, Ji Langhua knocked on Bai Qingyan’s door again.
She was holding a black lacquer tray with two bowls of noodles. She stood outside the door and saluted Bai Qingyan: “I borrowed the kitchen of the inn to make two bowls of vegetarian noodle soup for Xiao Baishuai and the fourth lady.”
Ji Langhua knew that Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi went to pay tribute to the deputy commander of the Bai family army today.
Now Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi are both in mourning, so Ji Langhua ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodle soup.
An egg was placed in the vegetarian noodle soup. Ji Langhua cut the pickled pepper and kimchi into hair-thin strips and scattered them on the noodle soup. He sprinkled some sesame oil on it. It smelled sour and spicy, which was very appetizing.
“Thank you! Go to rest early!” Bai Qingyan had just taken the black lacquered tray when she saw Bai Jinzhi coming to her with two bags of snacks.
The two sisters finished a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup, which warmed their stomachs to their toes. Bai Jinzhi even drank up the soup and praised it for being delicious. Bai Jinzhi then asked, “When are we leaving?”
“Let’s go before daybreak.” Bai Qingyan touched the top of Bai Jinzhi’s head and saw that Bai Jinzhi’s originally pretty face had become much darker and thinner during the time she had followed her to the battle. She couldn’t help but feel distressed.
“I’m going to see Brother Nine tomorrow. I’m so happy!” Bai Jinzhi was still holding the bowl of noodles in both hands. Her eyes were red, but she was happy from the bottom of her heart. “I hope Brother Nine is okay…”
She thought of Bai Qingyun’s deformed and bloody legs, her eyes darkened and she said, “Go to sleep!”
She hoped that Doctor Hong could find a way to cure Xiaojiu’s leg… Xiaojiu was such a proud young man, if he lost his leg, she was afraid that Xiaojiu would never recover from the disease, which was why she wanted to take the risk to see Xiaojiu before leaving.
On the second day, before dawn, the sky was full of twinkling stars and the moon had not yet set.
Ji Langhua, who was about to get on the carriage with a small bag in her arms, saw Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi jump on the horse. She looked at Bai Qingyan’s tall back and suddenly thought of General Bai Qingming. Knowing that they were going to Feng County to pay tribute to Bai Qingming, her eyes reddened and she saluted and got on the carriage.
Qin Shangzhi stood at the window and saw that Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi had already left. He turned around and looked at the prince who was having breakfast and said, “Your Highness… Miss Bai Da and Miss Bai Si have already left.”
The prince wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, his eyes cold, “Let Zhang Duanrui personally bring people with him, bring more people! If she is just going to pay respects to her relatives, let her come to see me after she comes back! If she is not going to Fengxian… or is going to do something other than pay respects, or even worse… to meet with someone, arrest her directly and say that she is following my orders. If she resists… kill her! Mr. Qin is careful and has done a good job on this matter. I will trouble you to take care of everything in the future!”
Qin Shangzhi’s heart skipped a beat, remembering what Bai Qingyan said when they were leaving after the conversation last night…If he didn’t look for her, she would look for him before leaving for Fengxian!
Now I just hope Bai Qingyan is prepared and everything is arranged.
Although Bai Qingyan did not say it explicitly, she asked him last night not to hide it and tell the prince, so she must have known that the prince would take action. Today she was leaving the army to go to Feng County to pay tribute to Bai Qingming, so it was reasonable for the prince to ask someone to follow her.
After worrying, Qin Shangzhi gritted his teeth, not knowing what was wrong with him… He was obviously the prince’s counselor, so why was he worrying about Bai Qingyan in vain?
What the prince hated most in his life was being fooled by others. If those assassins were all Bai Qingyan’s servants, if Xiliang Yan Wang Li Zhijie was really injured by Bai Qingyan’s men…
The prince’s temples were throbbing, but what did Bai Qingyan want to do?
He was too embarrassed to ask Elder Fang to come over to discuss things. He swore in front of Elder Fang that he had already subdued Bai Qingyan…
Old Fang is also a fool. He actually thinks Bai Qingyan has been completely subdued by his princely majesty!
“If these assassins were all Bai Qingyan’s, why do you think she made such a fuss? If she really wanted to support the Bai family army through fighting, why did she hand over the military tokens…”
The prince paused abruptly and raised his eyes with a cold look.
