After comforting the baby, Baili Jinxiu pulled the baby out of the room.
Just as he walked out of the room, the little unscrupulous baby ran towards Gong Xiaoxuan and hugged his leg. "Gong's Father, the baby woke the mother up."
Gong Xiaoxuan squatted down, lovingly scratched the baby's nose, and then hugged the baby.
Baili Jinxiu felt that his face was filled with black lines. Wasn't it time for him to come over and curry favor with him?
Fortunately, Gong Xiaoxuan still hadn't forgotten his purpose. Holding the baby and giving her a kiss, he walked in front of Baili Jinxiu and seduced the baby, "Your mother must be very tired after sleeping for so long. Do you want to help your mother raise her spirits?"
The baby kissed Baili Jinxiu without hesitation, and looked at Gong Xiaoxuan with a praising gaze.
Baili Jinxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It felt like this little unscrupulous kiss of his was just to find her Gong's Father for a reward. But when he saw Gong Xiaoxuan looking at him with concern, he could not help but feel a little sweet. This was the best apology he could think of.
After all, Gong Xiaoxuan was a dignified Prince An, he had never submitted even in front of the emperor.
"Alright you, kissing me is just to please your Gong's Father right? "Then don't even think about eating meat tonight!"
Baili Jinxiu pretended to be angry as he played with the baby. Gong Xiaoxuan and the baby beside him was stunned for a moment, then reacted, the family of three laughed at the door, the estrangement between them disappearing amidst the noise.
On the next day, Baili Jinxiu sat in the pavilion to rest, but the person from Yolk Sect came over to report: Crown Prince Jin Nie has made a move again!
Ever since they left the palace, Baili Jinxiu instructed the people from the Yolk Sect to monitor the crown prince. After exiting the Military Advisor, Baili Jinxiu was even more closely monitored by the people from the Yolk Sect.
According to the people from the Yolk Sect, Prince Jin Nie had been interacting quite a bit with Gong Xiaohan these past few days, and today, he even made the butler prepare to pay a visit to his highness, the crown prince of the Great Yan Nation.
Starlight circulated in Baili Jinxiu's eyes as he faintly looked outside the window.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was very normal for Crown Prince Jin Nie and Gong Xiaohan to walk about. Even if they were to cause a ruckus at the Emperor's place, most likely the Emperor would only say that Gong Xiaohan would be able to properly manage their relationship.
Currently, the relationship between the Emperor and Gong Xiaoxuan had already reached a certain point. The Emperor could only think of a way to remove Gong Xiaoxuan's authority, so Baili Jinxiu could not rashly go over, and increase the burden on Gong Xiaoxuan.
Baili Jinxiu pondered for a long time before coming to a conclusion. He had to make the Emperor and Gong Xiaohan fall out or make the Emperor worry about Gong Xiaohan!
It was easy to say but difficult to do. Now that Baili Jinxiu and Gong Xiaoxuan were both imprisoned inside the Palace, they could only sneak out if they were to go out.
Baili Jinxiu was unable to think of a good way, so he could only watch from the window in a daze. The guards outside patrolled around as usual, but Baili Jinxiu was still shocked.
Guard! No, private soldiers!
The reason why Emperor was wary of Gong Xiaoxuan, was because he was the commander of the three armies.
If Gong Xiaohan had a private army, Emperor would definitely pay attention to and take care of him. If Crown Prince Jin Nie was also involved in the matter of Gong Xiaohan raising his private soldiers, then Emperor would definitely not be able to remain calm.
The intention of the crown prince of a country colluding with the enemy country's crown prince to raise private soldiers was obvious.
Although Baili Jinxiu guessed that Gong Xiaohan must have some private troops, she did not know where and how many were there. If he were to go and look for them now, it would be too late.
However … Baili Jinxiu smiled complacently, because he had the Yolk Sect. If they could get the people from the Yolk Sect to disguise themselves as Gong Xiaohan's private troops, and then "take advantage of the chaos and escape" after Emperor saw them, then Gong Xiaohan and Prince Jin Nie would be completely speechless.
These past few days, the streets were bustling with activity, and the citizens everywhere were extremely solemn. Today was the day of the imperial family's ancestral worship.
Every year, the emperor would lead the people to the imperial temple outside of the city to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the imperial family. They would stay for a day or two before coming back.
The long line of imperial guards blocked their way, afraid that someone would go against their will. As for the commoners, they all kneeled on the ground to show their respect.
Emperor looked at the citizens' respectful expressions, and smiled very comfortably. Ever since he ascended the throne, although he did not contribute much, at least he allowed the commoners to live and work in peace.
Furthermore, with Gong Xiaoxuan's valiant and mighty attitude, as well as the enemy's calamity stopping at the borders, he was truly proud of himself. This year, even the enemy had sent people over to surrender!
The smile on the Emperor's face froze for a moment, then sank. How could he have forgotten that Gong Xiaoxuan was no longer his pride, but was now his shame, a stain on his heroic name!
The happy faces of the people around them sank. They felt that the atmosphere had become somewhat strange and quietened down. The entire atmosphere had turned silent.
"Emperor Doggie, hand over your life!"
At this moment, a group of people dressed in black clothes rushed out from all directions towards the emperor. The guards also continuously shouted "Protect the Emperor". Baili Jinxiu sat by the window of the restaurant and watched the commoners flee in all directions, frowning.
She had arranged for the Yolk Sect hidden within the commoners to cause a commotion, and then had the Emperor find the nearby "Gong Xiaohan's private soldiers" by chance. In the end, she had instigated the Emperor's distrust towards Gong Xiaohan. But now, what was up with these assassins who were aiming at the emperor? Could it be the enemy of the Emperor?
"Princess, shall we make a move?"
The people at the side asked anxiously, the people at the Yolk Sect had their plans messed up by such a sudden situation. They followed the citizens to escape, but did not dare to escape too far away, and hid nearby, where the "Gong Xiaohan's private army" that Baili Jinxiu had arranged was also nearby.
Baili Jinxiu's eyes darkened, and ordered: "Have the people from Yolk Sect pretend to be the assassin's accomplices, and lure them to the location of the plan."
Looking at the situation below, those black-clothed men's martial arts were mediocre. In the end, they would definitely not be able to kill Emperor.
The people from Yolk Sect replied and left. Very soon, there were more than ten assassins on stage, causing the guards to exclaim out loud, "The assassins have arrived. Everyone, protect the Emperor."
Baili Jinxiu carried his tea cup and looked at the situation below. The situation of the black-clothed men seemed to be amiss.
He hadn't attacked the Emperor with his full strength since the beginning, as if he was hiding his true strength. Ever since the Yolk Sect people had gone up on stage, the group of black clothed people had retreated as they fought, as if …
