The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 580: buckled up
Chapter 580 Detained
Chun Tao knelt beside the carriage with tears in her eyes, holding Bai Qingyan’s Sun-shooting Bow in her arms. She watched Bai Qingyan put on the last wrist armor, and tears came down her face: “Miss, you must be careful on this trip!”
Chuntao was filled with hatred in her heart, hating herself for not being Miss Shen Qingzhu. If she had the same skills as Miss Shen, she would be able to follow the eldest girl and go to Anping Camp to protect their eldest girl.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, Bai Qingyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. Seeing Lupin leading his troops galloping over, he took the Sun-shooting Bow from Chuntao’s arms and slung it over his shoulder, saying, “I’ll leave a few guards from the Bai family to take you back to Shuoyang…”
“Miss, the guards must follow you! I will follow the prince’s motorcade to the capital city! Miss, you don’t have to worry about Chuntao. Chuntao can’t help you, but she definitely can’t hold you back! Miss, trust me!”
Chuntao already blamed herself for not being able to protect Bai Qingyan, so how could she ask the eldest girl to separate the Bai family guards from her to protect her?
Seeing Chuntao’s serious expression, Bai Qingyan stopped forcing her and just said, “Take care of yourself!”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan got off the carriage.
The prince had also put on armor, a dragon-patterned cloak on his shoulders, and a sword at his waist. He was helped down from the carriage by Quan Yu.
Although Mr. Fang was old, he still put on armor and followed the prince to mount the horse. He adjusted his helmet uncomfortably and was worried about his health.
“Your Highness!” Bai Qingyan walked quickly to the side of the prince, clasped his fists and said, “Your Highness, please mount your horse! The Dengzhou army does not need to stop, and head straight to the Anping camp!”
The prince nodded.
Quan Yu hurried forward to help the prince onto his horse, and with red eyes he warned: “Your Highness! Princess! You must be careful!”
Bai Qingyan, wearing armor, jumped onto his horse, grabbed the reins, and immediately revealed his sharp edge. He shouted loudly: “The personal soldiers of the Crown Prince’s Mansion and the Bai family’s guards, follow me and ride straight to the Anping camp. Set off immediately!”
As soon as the majestic voice fell, Bai Qingyan squeezed his legs against the horse’s belly. The horse neighed angrily, raised its hooves and stood up, rushing out first.
Qin Shangzhi’s throat rolled as he looked at Bai Qingyan, whose cape was fluttering and whose figure was full of vigor. He quietly clenched his fists, remembering the first time he saw Bai Qingyan mount his horse in southern Xinjiang and give orders to Bai Jinzhi, which made him so excited that he wanted to follow Bai Qingyan into battle.
Bai Weiting once said that Bai Qingyan was a natural born general, and Qin Shangzhi believed it!
The same transfer order, when given by different people, will have different reactions. Bai Qingyan is obviously a woman, but she is a veteran in the battlefield and has always been victorious. Even the voice of her orders is full of sonorous character, making people feel her sharp and hot murderous aura and passionate fighting spirit.
Bai Qingyan has the courage to control people and the strategy to use troops. He is more than just a general…
The prince’s personal guards and the Bai family soldiers followed suit. The prince gritted his teeth, grabbed the reins and galloped away.
Old Fang, who was wearing a helmet, gritted his teeth and endured it. It was not that Bai Qingyan forced him to follow the prince today, but he had to be by the prince’s side to prevent Bai Qingyan from bewitching the prince.
Bai Qingyan rode his horse very fast. The prince and Old Fang were trying their best to keep up. All they could hear was the whistling wind and the pounding of their own heartbeats. Even breathing was difficult.
But the prince knew that he could not shout that he could not keep up. Bai Qingyan, who was leading the Bai family guards and the prince’s personal soldiers in front of him, and the three thousand Dengzhou soldiers behind him, were all there to protect him, the prince, so that he could return to Dadu safely!
Others are working hard for him, how can he just give in and complain?
The prince gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: “Go!”
As we approached Anping Camp…
“Lupin!” Bai Qingyan turned around and shouted.
Lupin sped up upon hearing the voice, whipped his whip and rushed forward: “Lupin is here!”
“I order you to take a thousand men to provide covert support and send people to guard the passage leading from Anping Camp to the capital city. No matter if they are sending messages to Anping Camp or from Anping Camp to other places, arrest them!”
“Lupin, I obey your command!” Lupin slowed down and passed the order, leading a thousand men to march separately.

Inside Anping Camp.
Fu Ruoxi sat in the commander’s tent, dismissed her attendants, stood under the lamp in the tent, read the letter sent from the capital city, gritted her teeth, and lit the letter.
The flames slowly devoured the paper covered with characters, causing half of Fu Ruoxi’s face to flicker.
The queen sent someone to deliver a secret letter, saying that the emperor fell off a horse and was unconscious. Now was a good time to support Prince Xin. As long as Prince Xin sat on the throne, she could keep the baby in her belly. Otherwise, the prince would succeed to the throne and would definitely not let go of the baby in her belly who was said to be the reincarnation of the sacred deer. If the emperor was lucky enough to wake up and people knew that she was pregnant in the wrong month, both she and the child would die.
The Queen said that she had already controlled the people serving the Emperor. If Fu Ruoxi dared to lead the Anping Camp army to Dadu, the Queen would announce to the public that the Crown Prince was reprimanded by the Emperor and was sent to Dengzhou to escort food and supplies, so he held a grudge and wanted to kill the Emperor! Then she would support the legitimate son, Prince Xin, to ascend the throne.
Fu Ruoxi clenched her fists tightly at her side. Although the Queen did not explicitly state in the letter whether the child was conceived that day… he lost control for a moment and made the Queen pregnant, but the Queen said that the month was wrong, which was clearly implying that the child was his.
However, Fu Ruoxi was not a fool who would be blinded by love between men and women. Although he was in the Anping camp, the Fu family would continue to send him news. He knew that the emperor did not completely trust the queen, so before he fell into a coma, he asked the old imperial tutor Tan and the eldest princess… one to assist Prince Liang in governing the country, and the other to manage the harem.
The old imperial tutor Tan has always been a loyal minister, and the eldest princess was the one who helped the current emperor ascend the throne. They are both people the emperor can trust.
Even if Imperial Tutor Tan hadn’t said it, the Grand Princess was definitely not an ordinary woman in the harem. Could the Queen really do something under the Grand Princess’s nose?
Fu Ruoxi felt that she was caught in a dilemma. If she did nothing, and anything happened to the Queen and her unborn child, Fu Ruoxi would never forgive herself in her life.
“Report…” A sentry suddenly rode in quickly, knelt outside the general’s tent, and shouted, “Report to the commander-in-chief, someone from the direction of Dengzhou is holding the prince’s flag high and heading towards the Anping camp!”
Fu Ruoxi tightened her grip, turned around and walked quickly to the center of the tent, and asked, “How many people are here?”
“About two to three thousand people!” the sentry replied.
“General…” Fu Ruoxi’s deputy general also came and asked, and went straight into the tent, holding the sword at his waist tightly, breathing a little heavily, “Your Highness the Crown Prince must know that Your Majesty is in a coma, and he is worried that he will be in danger if he returns to the capital alone, so he came to Anping Camp. I’m afraid he wants the general to escort him back to the capital.”
Fu Ruoxi pursed her lips tightly, her thick eyebrows knitted tightly, “Anping Camp is not allowed to send troops without the order of His Majesty, otherwise… we would not have dared to send troops to help when Dengzhou was attacked.”
