The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 871: kneel down
Chapter 871 Kneeling and Bowing
To sacrifice emotions and righteousness for the sake of greater benevolence is a compulsory lesson for a king or an emperor.
The heart of an emperor cannot be black and white, and the heart of an emperor cannot be hot-tempered.
The emperor’s heart must be cruel and his blood must be cold!
An emperor should not be bound by emotions. The art of an emperor is the art of weighing pros and cons, making choices based on the pros and cons, rather than a gentleman weighing emotions and making choices based on the two words “emotion” and “righteousness”.
It is not easy to be the emperor of a great country, otherwise why did the emperors of the past always claim to be alone…
People at the pinnacle of power are destined to be lonely. This position is not as easy to hold as others imagine, nor is it as King Liang imagined, that he can do whatever he wants once he sits on it.
She had witnessed the rise and fall of three emperors: her father, her brother, and the current emperor. She knew that the joy of holding power would soon fade away with the heavy burden and pressure.
The cold throne is like the heaviest shackles and cage in the world, isolating family, friendship and love. Only if the king is willing to let go of these ties can he become the eternal monarch and achieve eternal royal career!
It’s funny to say, but perhaps only those who have sat in that position know how terrifying that position is.
However, once you sit on it, it is your whole life, and there is no escape unless you die…
Therefore, if she is unable to prevent the fall of the Lin family’s imperial power in the end, she will have to teach Abao the most important lesson in becoming an emperor.
After weighing the pros and cons and family affection, the eldest princess finally made such a decision.
With this in mind, she must not bring Bai Jinse and Nanny Jiang with her, as this would give Prince Liang two more weak points that he could threaten.
She had already instructed Nanny Jiang to pass on the message to Abao, and now Nanny Jiang had to stay to pass on the message for Abao.
The eldest princess, sitting in the carriage, looked at the capital city which was getting farther and farther away, but was thinking… If she had not been born in an imperial family, perhaps she would not be like this. She could be Bai Weiting’s pure wife and Abao’s grandmother.
She and Po were obviously the closest people in the world, but in the end… they still had to go against each other and stand on opposing sides.

Bai Jinse and Nanny Jiang were locked up in Changshou Courtyard by the Grand Princess and were not allowed to go out. Nanny Jiang was knocked unconscious by her grandmother’s orders and has not woken up yet. She is very worried.
Looking at the sword-wielding guards standing outside the Changshou Courtyard, she thought for a moment and quietly moved to the backyard of the Changshou Courtyard, climbed up a tree… jumped down from the tree, supported herself on the ground with both hands… her palms slipped and felt a burning pain.
She gritted her teeth and didn’t let herself scream, for fear of alerting the people guarding Changshouyuan. She endured the pain, lifted her skirt and ran towards the back corner door. She had to go out quickly to inform her eldest and second sisters.
When Bai Jinse ran to the corner gate, she was already sweating profusely. Seeing that there were people guarding the corner gate, she quickly turned around and hid behind the corner, pursing her lips tightly to adjust her breathing.
Her grandmother left in such a hurry that she couldn’t have ordered the entire house to watch her. The person guarding the door was most likely sent by her second sister, so she didn’t need to be so alert.
Thinking of this, Bai Jinse stopped hiding. She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. Although she was still breathing hard, she calmly came out from behind the wall and shouted, “Take me to see my second sister! Quick!”
The leader of a squad of soldiers guarding the corner gate of Bai Mansion recognized Bai Jinse and hurried forward to greet her: “Seventh Miss, there is war in the city right now and it is not appropriate for you to go out. If you have anything to say, I will tell you!”
“You can even tell me that my grandmother, the Grand Princess, was taken away by Prince Liang?!” Bai Jinse’s eyes were sharp, “Prepare the horses! I want to go see my eldest and second sisters! Quick!”
“We are here to escort Miss Seven!” The team leader turned around and shouted, “Go get the horses!”
After Bai Qingyan led his troops into the city, he ordered Ji Tingyu to lead a team of people to head straight to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion.
Ji Tingyu had just led his troops into the long street of the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion after receiving the order when he saw Bai Jinse riding horses escorted by a team of guards.
Bai Jinse saw Ji Tingyu from afar, opened her eyes wide, and shouted loudly: “Ji Tingyu!”
Ji Tingyu quickly raised his hand to signal the army to stop marching, then he raised the reins and walked forward quickly.
Bai Jinse reined in his horse and asked loudly, “Where are my eldest and second sisters?”
Ji Tingyu clasped his fists and said, “The eldest and second young ladies are attacking the palace, and they will capture it soon!”
“Prince Liang has kidnapped my grandmother, and the emperor and the crown prince, who announced their death, have fled the city!” Bai Jinse said loudly.
Ji Tingyu was shocked when he heard this, and ordered a team of people to stay behind to take care of Bai Jinse.
“Don’t worry, Seventh Miss! Ji Tingyu will definitely rescue the Grand Princess!” After Ji Tingyu said this, he led the rest of the people and chased out of the city.
“We will escort Miss Seven back to the mansion!”
“I’m not going back home. I want to go see my elder and second sisters!” Bai Jinse kicked her horse’s belly and rushed towards the direction of the imperial palace where the sound of killing was deafening.

The five thousand soldiers who stayed in the imperial city to defend it lost their will to fight when they learned that Prince Liang had led his men to escape from the city. When they saw the black sail and white python flag, and the figure on a white horse and silver armor galloping towards them from afar, they became even more panicked. They felt that they were doomed to fail, so they laid down their arms and surrendered.
Under the bright sun, the heavy and weathered Wude Gate slowly opened.
Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu rode side by side and slowly entered the city under the escort of the army.
The soldiers who opened the city gates knelt down and bowed their heads to show their submission.
Even the soldiers in the palace had put down their swords and knelt down with their heads bowed.
When the surviving important officials of the court, such as Lu Xiang, heard that the killing had stopped and the outcome had been decided, they supported each other and came out from their hiding places.
Seeing the imperial guards kneeling towards the Wude Gate, they walked hand in hand to the front of the hall. From afar, they saw Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu riding horses in the front, coming through the many red-painted palace gates.
Dong Qingping’s eyes filled with tears. Seeing his niece riding in the front, he suddenly thought of the iron-willed King Bai Weiting, and his proud but gentle and steady brother-in-law Bai Qishan.
Although the sons of the Bai family are no longer around, his niece has completely inherited their character. She is both talented in literature and martial arts, and possesses both kindness and pride.
The sunlight was dazzling, and Bai Qingyan’s bloodstained silver armor was shining coldly. She was riding in the front, her body straight. Behind her were shield soldiers holding heavy shields and heavily armored cavalry. The ear-shaking sound of their orderly footsteps and the cold metallic light on the soldiers’ bloodstained armor made the entire imperial city solemn.
It was not known whether it was because they had just experienced a life-and-death situation and were experiencing great emotional fluctuations at the moment, or because the scene was too shocking, but all of the officials had red eyes. Some officials could not help sobbing quietly, and then hurriedly wiped away the tears with their sleeves.
Prime Minister Lu clenched his fists and looked at the arrogant Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinxiu. He couldn’t help but think of such an emperor… such a prince, and such a King of Liang.
How could such an emperor and such a royal family be worthy of being assisted by such a Bai family? !
Prime Minister Lu sincerely felt sorry for the Bai family and Bai Weiting.
