The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 763: don’t worry
Chapter 763 Don’t Worry
Perhaps, Li Mingrui wanted to find another way and also had his eyes on the military power… He intended to control the military power in order to overthrow the Lin imperial power. Only in this way… could he turn the handwritten letter of the Left Prime Minister Li Mao in his hand into waste paper.
The more this is the case, the more Bai Qingyan cannot let people like Li Mingrui take away the Anping army from the Bai family.
No matter what kind of world we are in, military power is too important. How can we let it go easily once we have it?
As soon as he entered Boyun Courtyard, Nanny Qin, who had already prepared clothes, waved her hand, and the loyal servant of the Bai family immediately came forward to change clothes for Bai Qingyan.
While tying the ribbon on Bai Qingyan’s clothes, Nanny Qin said, “This dress has been fumigated with medicinal soup. Madam is now in front to stabilize Eunuch Quanyu from the Prince’s Mansion. Madam said that after the news of Daliang’s defeat kept coming, Eunuch Quanyu came to the house, either to ask the eldest girl to come out, or to tell the eldest girl that the prince wanted to replace the fourth girl, so that the eldest girl would be prepared in her heart, so as not to be chilled by the sudden replacement of the fourth girl! Madam reminded that the eldest girl should be prepared when she meets this Eunuch Quanyu later.”
Bai Qingyan tilted her neck and let Nanny Qin fasten her buttons. Privately, she thought that it was unlikely that the prince would send Quan Yu to ask her to come out of retirement, as the prince was very concerned about his reputation… He already had an idea of the condition of her body after the imperial physician examined her in the prince’s mansion, so… unless the country was in danger of being destroyed, the prince would never order her to lead the troops.
If the prince does this, he will certainly be criticized by the world for disregarding the life of his benefactor. Even if the prince wants to do so… Old Fang will persuade the prince to stop.
After everything was cleaned up, Chuntao applied pearl powder on Bai Qingyan’s lips, making Bai Qingyan’s face look pale and even more fragile.
In the front hall, Quan Yu sat below Dong and spoke to her in a very respectful and humble manner. He inquired about Bai Qingyan’s physical condition in detail and presented the precious tonic that the prince had ordered him to bring.
Dong was talking to Quanyu when she saw Bai Qingyan’s sedan chair coming in. She looked outside the main hall door, and Quanyu followed Dong’s gaze…
Seeing Bai Qingyan barely standing up with the help of Chuntao and Tong Mama, Quan Yu was so shocked that he quickly stood up and walked forward to greet Bai Qingyan, saying, “Your servant greets the Princess Zhenguo! It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for the message from the Crown Prince to the Princess Zhenguo, I would never dare to disturb her!”
Having said that, Quan Yu stood up again, took Bai Qingyan’s arm from Nanny Tong, and helped Bai Qingyan walk carefully into the main hall.
Quan Yu could smell the strong smell of medicine on Bai Qingyan’s body. He grasped Bai Qingyan’s thin wrist, and his eyes suddenly became red and wet. This princess looked even thinner than before in the capital.
After helping Bai Qingyan sit down, Quan Yu saw that Bai Qingyan was breathing rapidly and was at a loss. Then, Chun Tao brought a cup of hot tea up. Quan Yu took the hot tea from Chun Tao and handed it to Bai Qingyan: “Princess Zhenguo, drink some tea and relax.”
Bai Qingyan shook his head. Chuntao hurriedly took the tea from Quanyu and put it aside. She also put a hidden bag behind Bai Qingyan’s back and said to Quanyu in a measured way, “Eunuch Quanyu, please take a seat.”
Quan Yu nodded and returned to his chair and sat down.
“I don’t know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Eunuch Quanyu here this time?” Bai Qingyan leaned on the hidden bag and looked at Quanyu with clear eyes.
Quan Yu was unable to speak, and pursed his lips before saying, “To the Princess Zhenguo, because Princess Gaoyi lost four cities in a row in the battle in Daliang, the ministers in the court have complained and want to replace Princess Gaoyi. The left prime minister Li Mao recommended his eldest son Li Mingrui to lead the troops in Daliang and signed a military order. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that he could not suppress the wishes of the ministers, so… he sent Quan Yu to tell the Princess Zhenguo. Perhaps when Quan Yu returns, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be forced to issue an order to let the left prime minister’s eldest son Li Mingrui go to Daliang to replace Princess Gaoyi!”
Quan Yu looked at Bai Qingyan’s expression and saw that Bai Qingyan was holding the armrest of the chair with his eyes closed, as if he was meditating.
He was afraid that Bai Qingyan would think too much and feel uncomfortable, so he added without waiting for Bai Qingyan to speak: “Your Highness the Crown Prince is not doing this because he doesn’t trust Princess Gaoyi or the Bai family, but because the Left Prime Minister Li Mao issued a military order and the ministers forced him to do so! Your Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that Princess Zhenguo will think too much during her recovery, so he asked Quan Yu to go on this trip. Princess Zhenguo, please don’t think too much!”
The main hall of the Bai Mansion became extremely quiet after Quan Yu finished speaking.
Dong was not an ignorant woman. She would thank the prince for any favor he gave her. She knew in her heart that as long as Bai Qingyan gave in, the military power that Bai Jinzhi had finally grasped would fall into the hands of others.
Mrs. Dong tightened her grip, guessing that her daughter would be forced to put on armor and go into battle again this time. Although she knew that her daughter’s weak body was just pretend, Mrs. Dong couldn’t help but feel worried.
However, she also knew that her daughter was a girl from the Bai family with a broad mind and ambitions, and she knew that Xiao Si was still on the battlefield in Daliang, so she could not stop him.
Seeing Bai Qingyan remained silent for a long time, Quan Yu’s heart tightened, and he whispered: “Zhenguo Princess… Actually, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not want to use Li Mingrui unless it is absolutely necessary. This person is not considered to be a disciple of the Crown Prince. He had previously plotted against the Zhenguo Princess. The Crown Prince is also worried that after this person holds military power, if he has any ill intentions, it will be difficult to control him! So the Crown Prince has no choice but to use Li Mingrui. It is definitely not that he does not trust the Zhenguo Princess!”
Before Bai Qingyan nodded, Quan Yu adjusted his sitting position and lowered his voice, saying, “I think this is a good thing. Princess Gaoyi is a girl after all. She is so young and yet she is fighting on the battlefield. To put it bluntly… She is living on the edge of a knife. The Princess Zhenguo and the ladies of the Bai family in Shuoyang are worried, right? If Princess Gaoyi comes back, the Princess Zhenguo and the ladies won’t be so worried. Princess Zhenguo can also rest assured to recover from your injuries. This is a good thing!”
Mrs. Dong pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief: “For several generations of the Bai family, no matter whether they are men or women, they have known since birth… their mission is to protect the peaceful country of our Jin people without worries, and they will never regret it whether they live or die! Since Jin Zhi has taken on the title of Princess Gaoyi, she cannot just sit there and do nothing, violate the ancestral teachings, and do nothing! We in the Bai family… are proud of Jin Zhi!”
Quan Yu hurriedly stood up and bowed solemnly to Dong: “The Bai family is noble and righteous. Their love for the country and the people is evident to all. Quan Yu admires them!”
Bai Qingyan let out a long breath, opened his eyes, looked at Quan Yu with his deep and tough eyes, and spoke slowly and resolutely: “Please trouble Eunuch Quan Yu to go back to the capital and tell him about the loss of the city and the land… The prince does not need to worry.”
