"Princess Chu, you have been soaking in the water for a long time. Don't catch a cold." Nanny Qiu's voice came from outside.

Wei Qing was startled, she then realised that the water was cold.

"I'll be right out."

Wei Qing returned to the secret room. The Old Emperor had already dealt with the majority of the papers, but there were still many that he had not dealt with.

Seeing Old Emperor's pale face and silver strands at the temples, Wei Qing walked forward.

"Father, if you were to look at these papers by yourself, I think it would be a long time before that. Do you believe in me?"

Old Emperor formed a fist and coughed twice, "Do you have a good way to help us?"

Wei Qing nodded, "I will first pick out the important parts. As for the unimportant ones, I will pick them out and mark them for the emperor."

Old Emperor was indeed tired, adding that his body was too weak, Wei Qing had to help him pick out the most important parts.

Wei Qing took the paper and pen, drew out a table, and began to write.

Old Emperor also slightly narrowed his eyes for a moment, then quickly woke up.

Seeing the papers on the table that were already neatly sorted out, the Old Emperor's gaze at Wei Qing was filled with praise.

According to the drawing that Wei Qing drew for him, Old Emperor took care of it very quickly.

Three days later, the Old Emperor decided to secretly summon a few generals.

On that very night, several black figures quietly snuck into the royal dungeon.

Their attacks were extremely efficient. Basically, they had used a single sword to stop their throats, so they didn't even lose much blood.

Xiao Hanqi was successfully saved from the prison. Before he left, he was worried that the empress and these people would make a trip to Yi Kun Palace.

However, the leader of the group said coldly, "Your Highness, this matter is not a small matter, we listened to the Second Prince. If you insist on saving the Queen, I'm afraid you will be implicated."

There was reason behind his words, but Xiao Hanqi still felt uneasy.

These secret guards that Long Xiaotian had carefully chosen to train with were all experts, and very quickly, Xiao Hanqi successfully left the palace.

In the dense night, with his hands behind his back, Xiao Qingqian coldly gazed at the direction they had just disappeared in.

Xiao Hanqi, just wait and see!

These people brought Xiao Hanqi to Long Xiaotian's temporary residence. When Xiao Hanqi saw him, he naturally couldn't help but express his gratitude.

However, he had underestimated Long Xiaotian's ambition.

Long Xiaotian did not save him for nothing.

He passed a piece of sheepskin roll in front of Xiao Hanqi, "Your Highness, this prince's attempt to save you can be considered as a free gift. However, if you don't show the slightest bit of sincerity in what's to come, this prince will not help you anymore. "

Xiao Hanqi frowned, and his gaze slowly shifted from his face to the sheepskin roll.

"Second Prince, aren't you being too greedy?" Xiao Hanqi's eyebrows were twisted into a lump as he stood up in anger and glared at Long Xiaotian.

Long Xiaotian was not angry, he picked up the teacup by his side and used the lid of the cup to gently wipe away the foam on it.

"Crown Prince, if this prince hadn't ordered someone to save you today, you wouldn't have been able to sit here and haggle with this prince!"

Xiao Hanqi was at a loss for words.

"If you don't sign, then it's very simple. The crown prince can go up against the empress dowager alone!"

In this period of time, he had also made some inquiries about the matters of the palace.

In the past few days, she had even met with a few martial generals in secret, seemingly preparing for Xiao Hanqi's arrival.

Xiao Hanqi's hand under his sleeve tightened bit by bit. His finger bones had turned white and his eyes were scarlet.

"This prince doesn't have much. Last time, the crown prince was able to give five cities to this prince, but this time, another five cities to this prince. Does this mean that the crown prince is at a disadvantage?"

Facing Long Xiaotian's pair of sinister eyes that were filled with ridicule and playfulness, the anger in Xiao Hanqi's chest continued to rise.

Damn it!

However, since the empress dowager dared to lock him in the dungeon, she'd already lost her way.

If he lost Long Xiaotian as his partner, then he would very likely miss this chance.

After thinking about it carefully, he pressed his hand down on the sheepskin roll.

Long Xiaotian kept his sheepskin roll and laughed heartily, "Crown Prince, only when there are benefits can we work together. Once the crown prince has become a great treasure, this prince will personally request for it! "

Xiao Hanqi slightly narrowed his eyes. If the light in his eyes had become real, he would definitely be able to kill Long Xiaotian.

"Bring the crown prince to first bathe and change his clothes, to take his bad luck!" Long Xiaotian said loudly.

Very quickly, a beautiful lady entered the room. With clear eyes, she glanced at Xiao Hanqi timidly.

"Serve the crown prince well!" Long Xiaotian smiled.

The woman nodded and led Xiao Hanqi to bath room.

After bathing and changing clothes, he felt extremely comfortable, so Xiao Hanqi finally started to size his up.

"What's your name?"

"Youlan."

Xiao Hanqi smirked, "Sky Valley Youlan is a good name."

You Lan lightly smiled and didn't say anything.

Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Xiao Hanqi did not have the slightest bit of appetite.

He had a nagging feeling that everything was going too smoothly tonight, even if Long Xiaotian's people were powerful.

"Second Prince, don't you think that everything went too smoothly today?" Xiao Hanqi arrived at Long Xiaotian's room once again.

Long Xiaotian had always been arrogant, and believed that the people he meticulously chose would definitely be one to one hundred, so it was normal for it to go smoothly.

"Crown Prince, you are too cautious. Have a good rest for the night. From tomorrow onwards, you will be busy."

He had already thought of everything for Xiao Hanqi. As long as Xiao Hanqi listened to him, Xiao Hanqi would definitely be able to become a great treasure.

Right now, he and the Southern Kingdom were already married, and if Xiao Hanqi could become his puppet, eating the East Mausoleum would be as easy as flipping my palm.

Xiao Hanqi was naturally unable to guess what Long Xiaotian was thinking, his brows were locked tightly together, and although the suspicions in his heart was growing stronger, he did not continue speaking.

The next morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds, just like how Xiao Hanqi was feeling right now.

Long Xiaotian handed over the names of his prepared personnel to Xiao Hanqi, allowing him to think carefully before deciding which martial general he should meet first.

Xiao Hanqi looked at Long Xiaotian with a complicated gaze. "Second Prince, do you take me as a puppet now?"

"The Crown Prince's words are too serious. This prince is helping the Crown Prince, how can he treat the Crown Prince as a puppet?"

Xiao Hanqi threw the name list on the table, "I know what to do, I do not need the Second Prince to teach me!"

Long Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, "Right now, we are looking everywhere in the capital for the whereabouts of the crown prince. If the crown prince rashly goes to the capital, I'm afraid he will also be locked up in the dungeon. which is more important, and which is less important. Whether or not you want to listen to this prince, the crown prince will decide for himself. "

Finished speaking, he picked up the list of military officers and left in large strides.

Xiao Hanqi pursed his lips, the fact that the Royal Grandmother was able to move so quickly did him quite a shock.
