The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 643: A Bright Future
If the Empress Dowager was present, even if the Crown Prince’s mother, Concubine Yu, was in charge of the harem, it would not be so legitimate, and the Crown Prince would not allow such a thing to happen.
Bai Qingyan had a plan in mind, and spoke righteously, as if Fu Ruoxi had really suffered a great injustice.
When Fu Ruoxi heard this, he tightened his hands at his side, knowing that Bai Qingyan was trying to save him.
Fu Ruoxi still felt a little guilty when confronting the Queen, but the more guilty he felt, the more he couldn’t show it. Otherwise…how could he be worthy of his deceased mother, and how could he be worthy of Bai Qingyan who had taken the trouble to save him.
He closed his eyes. When the Queen sent people to kill him, he had already given up on her. He had been used by the Queen so many times over the years, and now he had finally paid off what he owed her.
Now, in order to protect his wife and children, and to protect the entire Fu family, Fu Ruoxi has no choice but to apologize to the Queen.
“Cough, cough, cough…” When the emperor heard the word “Queen”, he suddenly started coughing heavily. The prince hurriedly stood up to help the emperor calm down. Gao Demao knelt in front of the emperor holding a spittoon. Doctor Huang also hurried forward to take the emperor’s pulse.
The emperor waved his hands repeatedly, took deep breaths to adjust himself, and his chest gradually calmed down. He looked at the prince and asked, “What do you think, prince?”
“Father already knows about this matter, and he also believes in General Fu’s innocence. As for the confrontation with the Queen… I think Father should talk to the Queen alone later when we are not around.” The prince turned his head and glanced at the Emperor. Seeing that the Emperor nodded in agreement with him, the prince hurriedly stepped forward and gently helped Bai Qingyan up, lowering his voice and saying, “This is about the face of the royal family. This is our own matter behind closed doors. Fu Ruoxi is an outsider… It’s not good for her to get involved!”
The prince described this matter as “our own business” in order to get closer to Bai Qingyan and let Bai Qingyan know that he would not look at Bai Qingyan in an outward way.
“Your Highness is right!” Bai Qingyan took a step back and nodded respectfully to the Prince.
The prince’s eyes fell on Bai Qingyan’s trembling arm, and he hurriedly said, “Let the imperial physician take a look at your arm first! You have performed a great service in protecting the emperor this time, and the emperor will definitely reward you well. After you have your arm examined… go back home and have a rest! Let others do the rest!”
The emperor also looked at his aunt with silver hair and wrinkles on her cheeks, and suddenly felt soft in his heart. He said, “I have been down for so many days, thanks to the old imperial tutor Tan and aunt. Last night, aunt risked her life to enter the palace to protect me. Aunt, you have worked so hard. Aunt and Princess Zhenguo, go back and rest!”
The Grand Princess and Bai Qingyan responded yes.
The cry of King Liang could be heard again from outside: “Father…Father, I really don’t know anything!”
After all, the Prince of Liang was a prince. He put a sword to his neck and refused to go with the patrol battalion. He stood in the heavy rain and cried for an audience with the emperor. Fan Yuhuai, who was invited to the corridor to have his wound bandaged by the imperial physician, was in a dilemma and could only kneel at the door of the palace to ask the emperor: “Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang put a sword to his neck and said he wanted to see Your Majesty. What should I do?”
The eldest princess’ eyes were cold. She had misjudged him before… This Prince Liang was very flexible.
It is also because King Liang grew up in a tight spot, and he knows what it means to bend and crouch like a rat. He is more willing to give up his dignity and integrity than most people, and knows when to kneel down, even if he has already grasped the victory. Until he wins a great victory and ascends to the supreme throne… he will never hold his tail high, leaving room for himself to wag his tail and beg for mercy from those in higher positions.
In this respect, Prince Liang is far superior to the emperor and his brothers.
Prince Liang holds a deep hatred towards the Bai family. The Grand Princess must not allow such a person to ascend to the supreme throne of the State of Jin, otherwise how will her Bai family survive?
The eldest princess turned her head and looked at the emperor. “Your Majesty, Prince Liang claimed that he knew nothing about Prince Xian’s affairs, and he put a sword to his neck to ask for an audience with Your Majesty. But when Prince Xian led the Southern Capital Army to fight with the patrol camp led by Lord Fan Yuhuai, he did not put a sword to his neck to ask Prince Xian to stop! If Prince Liang really had the courage to sacrifice his life to save the emperor, why didn’t he raise his sword to threaten Prince Xian with his life? After all, if Prince Xian didn’t have Prince Liang in his hands, it would be unjust. Even if Prince Xian relied on his daughter’s pregnancy, Your Majesty… does not have other princes.”
Emperor Tan also nodded.
The Grand Princess paused for a moment before solemnly saying to the Emperor, “It seems that Prince Liang is not without ideas about the supreme position.”
The prince lowered his eyes, with joy in his eyes. If King Liang died, he could rest easy.
After hearing what the eldest princess said, the emperor’s eyes became even gloomier, and he couldn’t help but cough violently a few times: “Gao Demao, pass the order… to put that rebellious son in jail for me. If he wants to commit suicide… let him do it! I won’t be bothered if I don’t see it!”
Gao Demao nodded in response and walked quickly to the door of the hall. He told Fan Yuhuai the emperor’s words verbatim and said hurriedly, “Master Fan, please let others handle the matter. You should take a rest!”
Gao Demao said hurriedly as he looked at Fan Yuhuai, whose face and body were covered in blood and whose eye had been wrapped with fine cotton cloth by the imperial physician.
Fan Yuhuai nodded: “Thank you for your concern, eunuch!”
As soon as Fan Yuhuai finished speaking, he saw Bai Qingyan supporting the Grand Princess and Old Imperial Preceptor Tan coming out of the Emperor’s bedroom. Fan Yuhuai hurriedly bowed and saluted: “Grand Princess, Princess Zhenguo, Old Imperial Preceptor Tan.”
Fan Yuhuai had re-bandaged his wound, and some blood seeped out of the gauze. His other eye was also bloodshot and red. His armor and clothes, which were soaked by the heavy rain, stuck tightly to his body, and he looked very embarrassed.
“Thank you for your hard work, Lord Fan! Lord Fan is injured and should go back to rest as soon as possible! His Majesty has sent someone to call Lord Liu Hong to take over so that Lord Fan can have a good rest!” The Grand Duke said, “His Majesty will not forget Lord Fan’s contribution to saving the emperor at his own risk. He will definitely reward you handsomely later! Lord Fan… has a bright future ahead of him.”
When Fan Yuhuai heard this, he bowed deeply to the Grand Princess, his body trembling with excitement.
Who doesn’t want to rise to the top as an official? Who doesn’t want to be in a high position?
The deputy commander of the patrol camp had already rushed into the rain curtain and shouted to King Liang: “Your Majesty has ordered that King Liang be put in prison. If King Liang wants to commit suicide, it will be as King Liang wishes.”
When King Liang heard this, his face turned pale, and the sword in his hand suddenly slipped from his hand. His legs went weak and he knelt down, tears streaming down his face, looking like a spineless villain.
“Father! I am innocent! I really didn’t know that Prince Xian was planning a rebellion! I was afraid of death and I was afraid that Prince Xian would chop off my head. I know I have brought shame to you, Father!”
The deputy commander of the patrol camp looked at the weak appearance of King Liang with a bit of contempt in his eyes, and waved his hand: “Take him away!”
