Chapter 567 Peace of Mind
“How did you two get together?” The prince looked at Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan and laughed, his eyes unable to hide the teasing. “Oh, I remember now. I know that the Princess Zhenguo came to Dengzhou to pick up Old Lady Dong. Rongyan, what about you? Could it be that you knew that the Princess Zhenguo was here, so you followed her?”
Xiao Rongyan smiled elegantly and said calmly: “Speaking of which, Yan owes Princess Zhenguo a life again. This time… I was originally going to Beirong for business. When I came back, I remembered that I had met Brother Changlan in Shuoyang… and talked about the customs of Dengzhou. Yan thought of stopping by on the way back to Wei State to take a look. Who knew that he happened to encounter the princess of Dayan being ambushed by Nanrong. If Princess Zhenguo and Brother Changlan had not arrived in time, Yan… I am afraid that he would not be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alive!”
“Speaking of this matter…” The prince put down the sweet porcelain teacup with plum blossoms in his hand and looked at Bai Qingyan, “Please accept my condolences for your cousin’s matter!”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Then Rong Yan, you must remember Princess Zhenguo’s life-saving grace and repay her!” The prince said with hints.
Originally, the prince urgently summoned Bai Qingyan because he had something to say, but unexpectedly Xiao Rongyan was also there, so he asked about Xiao Rongyan’s future plans.
“Originally, Yan was going to go back to Wei State after paying his respects to Brother Changlan at Dong Mansion today. Yan heard from Princess Zhenguo that the Crown Prince had come, so he followed her to pay his respects to the Crown Prince. After meeting the Crown Prince, Yan said goodbye.”
The prince will be able to reach Dengzhou tomorrow, but he asked Bai Qingyan to come before entering the city. Xiao Rongyan knew what was going on… The prince must have something to say to Bai Qingyan.
He came here to stay with Bai Qingyan for a while, to meet someone, and to continue his friendship with the Crown Prince so that he could use him in the future. After achieving his goal, Xiao Rongyan did not stay any longer and stood up to bid farewell to the Crown Prince: “Yan heard that the evening market in Fenping is very lively. I plan to go there and return to Dengzhou first. I will leave for the country early tomorrow morning! I will say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here.”
“Princess Zhenguo, please see Rong Yan off for me! I’m really not feeling well…” The prince touched his forehead in a very exaggerated manner, indicating that he was not feeling well.
Watching Bai Qingyan send Xiao Rongyan out, the prince put down his hand that was pressing on his forehead and picked up the teacup… He couldn’t help but feel happy, thinking that his goal of pairing Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan together would be achieved. When Xiao Rongyan married into the Bai family, he would have an extra money bag and money to bribe people… He would be able to sit on the throne of the prince more securely.
Thinking of the position of crown prince, the crown prince could not help but think of the chaos in the capital city. He suddenly had a headache. He said tiredly: “Quan Yu, go call Mr. Fang, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Ren over and tell them that the princess has arrived!”
“Your Highness, you forgot that when we just arrived in Fenping, Mr. Ren told you that he wanted to go home to see his old mother and would not be back until tomorrow morning.” Quan Yu said with a smile.
The prince nodded suddenly and said, “Then… invite Elder Fang and Mr. Qin over.”
After Bai Qingyan sent Xiao Rongyan out, Xiao Rongyan smiled and said, “This prince always thinks of you when he has something to do. Be careful in dealing with it. If there is any need… you can send someone to my shop in Dengzhou.”
The Crown Prince was here, so Xiao Rongyan and Bai Qingyan couldn’t say too much. She nodded slightly: “Don’t worry! You…be careful on your way back to Wei.”
“Well, I’ll send someone to deliver a letter to you if you arrive safely in Wei.” Xiao Rongyan glanced behind Bai Qingyan and saw that the servants behind him had never looked in their direction. He lowered his eyes to look at Bai Qingyan’s bruised slender wrist, stepped forward and gently held it, rubbing the bruise with his thumb, and lowered his voice, “When you return to Dengzhou tomorrow, I will have someone send you medicine, remember to apply it, and you must take the last medicine on time. I will send someone to deliver it to you after a while.”
“Okay, I understand.” Bai Qingyan’s ears turned red.
After hearing Bai Qingyan’s answer, Xiao Rongyan took a step back and bowed to Bai Qingyan seriously: “Goodbye.”
“Take care, Mr. Xiao.”
When Xiao Rongyan saw a smile in Bai Qingyan’s black and white eyes, his mood, which had been gloomy all day because of Princess Mingcheng’s death, improved a little.
Xie Xun became a mess because of Mingcheng’s matter, but the only general that Dayan can use now is Xie Xun. No one else has the ability like Xie Xun. Although the second prince is brave, he is still useless now.
Xiao Rongyan had to cheer up, he had to go back and pull Xie Xun up.
After watching Xiao Rongyan leave, Bai Qingyan gathered his energy and turned back, where he happened to run into Old Fang and Qin Shangzhi.
“Princess Zhenguo…” Qin Shangzhi bowed to Bai Qingyan first.
Qin Shangzhi was even thinner than the last time Bai Qingyan saw him. He originally had a high nose and deep eyes, but now he was so thin that his eye sockets were sunken and the skeleton of his face became more obvious.
Bai Qingyan couldn’t help but look at Qin Shangzhi one more time. Thinking of the result that Qin Shangzhi died of depression in the previous life, he couldn’t help feeling sad.
Mr. Fang also bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “Greetings to the Princess Zhenguo.”
Bai Qingyan nodded to Qin Shangzhi and Mr. Fang, and was the first to step into the hall.
The prince waved his hand to signal the maid who was massaging his shoulders to go out, adjusted his sitting position and told Quanyu: “Quanyu, you stay outside… don’t let anyone else get close!”
Quan Yu nodded, and with the eunuchs and maids in the room, he retreated and stood guard at the door.
The prince sighed, “Now the Prince of Liang is getting more and more favored by the emperor, and the queen is pregnant with a boy or a girl, and at this critical moment, the Prince of Xin has also returned! The Prince of Xin has been the emperor’s favorite son since he was a child, and was raised by the emperor himself! Elder Fang’s intention is to let the Prince of Liang fight with the Prince of Xin and the queen, so that I can benefit from it, but now that I am sitting on this chair, I feel that it is getting hotter and hotter.”
Seeing the frown on the crown prince’s face, Elder Fang said earnestly, “Your Highness, I think you should keep your composure. Now that you are the crown prince, as long as you don’t make a big mistake… no one can take your place! Princess Zhenguo, don’t you think this is the truth?”
Old Fang has said this to the prince countless times, but too many things have happened in the capital city recently, and the prince was sent to this hellhole of Dengzhou by the emperor, which made the prince more and more uneasy. So Old Fang turned his target to Bai Qingyan, trying to get Bai Qingyan to stand on the same side with him and persuade the prince.
However, Mr. Fang had a deeper meaning. He wanted to attack Bai Qingyan suddenly when she was off guard… and test her.
Although it seems that the prince has subdued Bai Qingyan, Old Fang is always suspicious and wary of Bai Qingyan. After all, Bai Qingyan is the only person in all these years who can make the prince refute him. How can Old Fang feel at ease?
