The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 738: deal with
Chapter 738 Disposal
“What’s the point of me punishing you! Can Mingrui be sent back by Lord Lu if I punish you?!” Li Mao said in a calm voice, his dark eyes staring out the window where the cold wind was howling. After a while, he said, “Is the old man… still in Jiuchuan Hutong?”
“To reply to the Left Prime Minister, he should still be there…” said the white-robed strategist.
“You should invite the old man back to prevent Lu Jin from finding out about the house and suspecting our Zuo Xiang Mansion when he sees the old man’s skills!” Zuo Xiang gritted his teeth and said, “Now Mingrui is in prison. I’m afraid that the Zhenguo Princess will kill people in secret because she is afraid of Mingrui. You should send the old man to protect Mingrui in secret. Don’t let him fail.”
“Yes! I’ll arrange it right away!” The white-clothed strategist hurried out of the study and arranged for someone to call the old man in Jiuzhou Hutong.
The old man was Li Mingrui’s savior. Back then, when Li Mao was not yet the Left Prime Minister, his wife took Li Mingrui back to her parents’ home to visit her relatives. They met bandits on the way, and it was the old man who risked his life to save them. After the old man woke up, he didn’t even know who he was. Li Mao’s wife and Li Mingrui brought the old man back, and have been raising him respectfully in their home all these years.
Although this old man does not obey the Li family’s orders, he takes good care of his son Li Mingrui and has his son’s trust. This time it concerns Mingrui’s safety, so I think… this old man is willing to help.

Bai Jinxiu returned to Qinghui Courtyard and saw that the light was still on in the upper room. She knew that Bai Qingyan was still waiting for her. She did not dare to delay and entered the room through the curtains, glancing through the screen: “Eldest sister is not asleep yet.”
Bai Qingyan, who was sitting under the lamp and reading the bamboo slips, raised his hand and pinched his brows, and asked, “How was Prince Wang Qiulu dealt with?”
Bai Jinxiu stood beside the copper stove with red charcoal fire, rubbed her hands and said, “Master Lu took him away, but I heard the prince and Master Lu talking about what Wang Qiulu said today. I don’t think Wang Qiulu is unaware that Li Mingrui saved him. After all, my elder sister told him before. He also said that the person who saved him used a fake Liu Ruofu to control him, and he seemed to be biased towards my elder sister. But for the sake of caution, without more direct evidence, it is still impossible to tell whether Wang Qiulu betrayed my elder sister.”
“No hurry. Since Li Mingrui is involved with King Liang, and we have sent this news to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince will naturally keep Wang Qiulu to deal with King Liang! If Wang Qiulu still knows that I am his master, this is his chance to regain his freedom! Otherwise… he can go see his father!” Bai Qingyan shook the bamboo slips in his hand, sorted them out and put them aside, “Tonight… I can finally sleep well!”
Bai Jinxiu rubbed her hands and walked in behind the screen. Looking at the exhausted Bai Qingyan, her eyes showed distress: “Thank you for your hard work, elder sister. You haven’t been able to have a good rest since you arrived.”
“It’s really hard for you to leave Wang Ge’er and come to take care of me! Go back tomorrow…” Bai Qingyan smiled at Bai Jinxiu, “My physical condition is not suitable for traveling, I must stay in the capital for a few more days.”
The capital city received the battle report from Daliang faster than Shuoyang. Now, the army led by Liu Hong and Bai Jinzhi to attack Liang stopped in Yaoyang. If time goes on for a long time, the prince might become dissatisfied and either withdraw the troops or cut back on food and wages. Bai Qingyan is very worried.

The prince went to see the princess who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, and then looked at his plump and fair legitimate son. He still couldn’t help missing Hongmei’s charm, so he went to Hongmei’s yard.
Quan Yu, along with the maids and eunuchs, were standing guard outside. They only heard the delicate voice begging for mercy from inside. The voice was so soft that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. Not to mention a man, even the eunuchs standing guard outside would be distracted after hearing it.
When the lovemaking stopped, the prince adjusted his clothes while turning his head to look at Hongmei, who had tears in her eyes and collapsed on the carved wooden bed, unable to bear the pain. His eyes were full of satisfaction.
The bright yellow candlelight shone dimly through the swaying white veil, illuminating the red plum’s jade-like skin with a warm color that made people unable to let go.
“Your Highness, are you leaving?” Hongmei stood up and hugged the prince from behind. She coquettishly got under his armpits, hooked her slender white arms around his neck, looked at him with eyes filled with tears, and acted coquettishly in his arms, which was very touching. “Today, I went to the front yard to wait for His Highness the Prince, wanting to congratulate him on the birth of his son, but I only heard him talking about serious matters. I had a lot of ideas in my mind that I wanted to tell him, but after waiting for him to come, he bullied me and wanted to leave. He didn’t even listen to me. I won’t let you do that!”
The prince smiled and hugged the beauty in his arms. He raised his hand and pinched the tip of Hongmei’s nose: “What bad ideas does our Hongmei have? Tell me about them.”
Hongmei immediately became excited when she heard the prince say that. She stood up and knelt beside the prince, tucking the black hair that had fallen from her shoulders behind her ears. She looked at the prince with her sparkling eyes and said, “I was standing outside and heard the son of the left prime minister say that it was the King of Liang who ordered him to rescue Wang Qiulu. His Royal Highness the Prince also asked the Minister of the Supreme Court, Lord Lu, to take the son of the left prime minister away. I guess he will tell His Majesty about this matter in the morning court tomorrow, right?”
The prince looked at the beautiful woman kneeling on the bed, straightened his clothes, and leaned on his hidden sac with one elbow, looking at Hongmei leisurely: “Hongmei has become a worm in my stomach.”
“Your Highness!” Hongmei knelt forward, next to the Crown Prince, rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered, “But in Hongmei’s opinion, Your Highness should see His Majesty tomorrow after the court session, and then tell His Majesty about this matter, and tell His Majesty… If Your Highness tells this matter in front of the court officials, then King Liang will definitely die. The reason why you went to His Majesty without telling the court officials is because King Liang is your brother, Your Highness, and your Majesty’s flesh and blood, so you want to ask His Majesty to tell you how to deal with this matter!”
Hongmei carefully observed the prince’s expression from the corner of her eye. Seeing that the prince seemed to be thinking about something, she whispered, “In this way, Your Majesty will definitely feel that Your Highness the Crown Prince cares about Your Majesty and the friendship between brothers, and is a kind person. Your Highness the Crown Prince said… does what Hongmei said make sense?”
The prince looked at the flickering light of the tall glass lamp and pondered Hongmei’s words carefully.
Hongmei’s eyes rolled, and she simply leaned into the prince’s arms: “Hongmei was born in an ordinary family, so I don’t know what the royal family is like, but from what I have seen of ordinary families, the elders all hope to see their children and grandchildren love and live in harmony. Your Majesty is the emperor, and also a father! Your Highness, do you think… does what Hongmei said make sense? Should it be a reward?”
The prince then came back to his senses and looked at the warm and soft jade in his arms: “So Hongmei wants to ask for a reward!”
Hongmei’s wet eyes held a charming and complacent smile.
The third update: Is Hongmei trying to help the prince or save King Liang?
