The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 618: Rehabilitation
Chapter 618: Recuperation
“Miss, are you… going to save Fu Ruoxi?” Lupin asked.
“We don’t want to save them, we want to use them.” Bai Qingyan looked towards the east of the city, his eyes so deep that no one could tell whether he was happy or angry. “There are 20,000 soldiers from the Anping camp stationed outside the city. The only person who can raise his arm and get 20,000 soldiers to follow him to death is Fu Ruoxi… There is no one else.”
“Young lady.” Lupin frowned, vaguely realizing what Bai Qingyan was going to do.
The capital city is about to be in chaos. Originally, Bai Qingyan wanted to use force to stabilize the situation… at least to stabilize the capital city for three years. But now Prince Xin and Prince Liang are both trying to ascend to the supreme throne, and they will fight to the death in the coming days.
Rather than leaving these people there to cause uncertainty in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to eliminate these uncertainties naturally.
Bai Qingyan was worried that if she showed off too much this time, the prince would become suspicious.
But Bai Qingyan is not completely without a way out. Doesn’t King Liang want to assassinate her?
Since Prince Liang already has this idea, if the Ninth Prince of Dayan does not help… Prince Liang will not be able to accomplish this.
By the way, there is another person who hopes she dies, that is Li Mao… and Li Mao’s son Li Mingrui.
Li Mingrui… is quite a character!
Tianshi and Jiuxingtai, these two things are closely related to him.
After the matter was settled, Princess Zhenguo Bai Qingyan returned to Shuoyang to recuperate with her injuries. She was bedridden, which made the prince less wary.
“Uncle Ping, you’ve worked hard today, go back and have a rest. The day after tomorrow… I’m afraid you won’t be able to rest.” Bai Qingyan said.
Lupin has always believed in Bai Qingyan’s words. Before, the eldest daughter in their family said that there would be a tough battle to fight. It seems that the eldest daughter has now confirmed that the tough battle will take place the day after tomorrow.
Lupin did not force himself and left as requested. The elite soldiers he brought with him were too few, and only after a good rest could they protect the young lady’s safety the next day.

Chou hour.
Chuntao, who was sitting in the main courtyard with Bai Qingyan, suddenly saw flames rising to the sky in the south of the capital city.
“Miss! There’s a fire in the south of the city!” Chuntao said.
Bai Qingyan stood up, thinking that this was probably the Dali Temple Prison. He thought that the Queen and Lu Jin’s men had already started fighting. It all depended on how skilled those royal secret guards were and whether they could bring Fu Ruoxi out safely.
It was almost Yin time when the main gate of Qinghuiyuan was knocked.
Chuntao, who was sitting in the yard with Bai Qingyan, was startled and looked towards Bai Qingyan.
“Go open the door!” Bai Qingyan ordered.
It should be the secret guard who brought Fu Ruoxi back.
Chun Tao went forward and opened the door. The one who came back was the secret guard who led the group. He was wearing the clothes of the Dali Temple jailer, and he hadn’t had time to change them. He carried the unconscious Fu Ruoxi who was smelling bad all over into the room. He put Fu Ruoxi on the ground and knelt down to salute her: “Master, Fu Ruoxi is back. The others have led the Dali Temple jailer away.”
“Are there any casualties at the moment?” Bai Qingyan asked.
“My lord, we disguised ourselves as jailers and suffered relatively few casualties. Only two brothers died,” said the secret guard.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “You’ve worked hard, go down and have a rest!”
“yes!”
The secret guard nodded and left, having slept for not long… Lupin, who had obviously just been woken up, arrived at Qinghuiyuan. He had received news that there were unusual movements in the Queen’s mother’s Zhong Mansion, and had come to report to the eldest lady. However, when he entered the room, he saw Fu Ruoxi sleeping on the ground, with disheveled hair and a broken arm.
Lupin looked stunned, his eyes widened: “Big girl?”
“Chun Tao, go call Doctor Hong over. Uncle Ping, help Fu Ruoxi to the side room first.” Bai Qingyan said.
Chuntao and Lupin responded in unison and started to get busy.
Lupin lifted Fu Ruoxi up and placed her on the bed in the side room. After arranging her properly, he said to Bai Qingyan, “Miss, there is movement at the Zhong Mansion! The secret guards sent to watch the Zhong Mansion and Zhong Shaozhong reported back separately. An hour and a half ago… Zhong Shaozhong came out of the side door of the Zhong Mansion wearing the clothes of a Zhong Mansion servant and went to a brothel in the city. Our people were guarding outside. In less than an incense stick of time… the generals of the imperial guards who had been under Zhong Shaozhong’s command all went there one after another. However, our people did not dare to alert the enemy because the prince’s people were also guarding outside the brothel.”
Bai Qingyan lowered his eyes and stared at the flickering candlelight on the table. This was exactly what Bai Qingyan had expected.
Since the prince’s men already knew that Zhong Shaozhong had a secret meeting with his former subordinates from the Imperial Guards, if the prince was smart enough… and was willing to listen to Qin Shangzhi’s words, he should not have let Zhong Shaozhong and his group get out of the brothel safely.
Seeing Bai Qingyan’s calm expression, Lupin continued, “There is also the Prince of Liang’s Mansion. I heard that before the incident in the Dali Temple Prison, people from the Prince of Liang’s Mansion went to the Prince of Xin’s Mansion…”
As expected, on the fifteenth day of Prince Liang’s wedding, if the Queen does not take action, Prince Liang will instigate Prince Xin to take action.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Report any news at any time, let the Crown Prince, Prince Xin and Prince Liang deal with it themselves!”
Soon Chuntao carried the medicine box for Dr. Hong and trotted all the way to Qinghui Hospital.
Doctor Hong was also woken up temporarily. The old man did not mind the unpleasant smell on Fu Ruoxi. After checking Fu Ruoxi’s pulse under the lamp, he said, “No big problem. She must have been knocked unconscious.”
As he spoke, Doctor Hong took out a cowhide bag of golden needles from the medicine box, spread it out, pulled out a golden needle, warmed it over the candlelight on the small table next to the bed, found Fu Ruoxi’s acupuncture point, and gently inserted the needle.
Fu Ruoxi suddenly opened her eyes and took a deep breath. What she saw was not the tall and dark ceiling of the Dali Temple Prison. She was startled and turned around to see Bai Qingyan standing by the bed with his hands behind his back.
Fu Ruoxi supported herself on the bed with one hand, her eyes swept over Lupin and the maid beside Bai Qingyan, and then fell on the old doctor who was packing the golden needles: “Princess Zhenguo…”
In the Dali Temple Prison, the people sent by the Queen clearly wanted to take his life, didn’t they? Was it the Princess Zhenguo?
Under the flickering candlelight in the side room, Bai Qingyan looked indifferent, his deep and calm eyes staring at Fu Ruoxi, and he spoke slowly: “You don’t have to guess, the Queen’s people did go to the Dali Temple to kill you, which gave my people the opportunity… to rescue you from the Dali Temple.”
Fu Ruoxi was shocked: “But… if Princess Zhenguo rescues me, my entire Fu family… I’m afraid the crime will be unforgivable!”
Fu Ruoxi wanted to get up from the bed, but she fell to the side of the bed, holding the edge of the bed and kneeling down to kowtow to Bai Qingyan: “Princess Zhenguo, please send me back!”
“Yes, you still remember the Fu family. Old Lady Fu’s death was not in vain.” Bai Qingyan walked to Fu Ruoxi, bent down and helped Fu Ruoxi up, and said, “Since General Fu remembers the Fu family, I will give General Fu a chance to redeem himself. Maybe… this time I can not only save your Fu family, but also save your own life.”
Fu Ruoxi’s pupils trembled, and her only remaining hand quietly clenched at her side. She gritted her teeth and said without hesitation, “The Princess Zhenguo ordered!”
