C348 Your highness should value the lives of all the people in the world

Qi Hong left. Morong Gan stood alone on the porch with his hands behind his back. His expression was calm and his gaze distant.

It was just past noon, yet the sky was already as dark as evening. Clouds drooped as if one could reach them, and the wind whistled as it swept through the area. Under this kind of force, the dead branches and fallen leaves were all thrown into the soil, scattering all over the ground.

Ning Jiu walked over, "Your Highness, you can no longer hesitate."

Morong Gan sighed, "Ning Jiu, am I too greedy?"

"His Royal Highness is someone who has done great things."

Morong Gan laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's what I'm most afraid of hearing."

"Your subordinate also has another sentence. Your highness should value the lives of all under the heavens."

Morong Gan closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them, "I got it."

It had rained heavily in the afternoon, yet Morong Gan had brought Ning Jiu out of the Palace.

Huangfu Zhuer got up from the blanket, the servant girl guarding the side quickly held her down: "Miss, what do you want, I will help you."

"Has the prince gone out?"

"To the girl, yes."

"Did you say when Hou was back?"

"This, this servant doesn't know."

Huangfu Zhuer asked the servant girl to take out some clothes for her to wear. She had been lying down for too long and wanted to walk around.

The maidservant was a little hesitant. "Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore. The doctor is still waiting for you in the front yard."

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Send him away." Huangfu Zhuer put on her clothes, drank a cup of hot tea and picked the curtain as she walked out.

Hao Pingguan was outside and when he saw her coming out, he immediately went up and bowed. "I heard that young lady is feeling better."

"En, did the prince say when Hou will be back?"

"His Royal Highness only said that he wouldn't come back for dinner, he didn't say anything else."

Huangfu Zhuer looked at the sky and muttered, "I'm afraid it will rain heavily soon."

Hao Pingguan's voice came from behind her, "Miss, Your Highness has instructed me that Miss is not an outsider, I can enter and leave this study room as I please. Your Highness also said that if Miss feels bored, it would be good to go in and choose a few books to pass the time."

Huangfu Zhuer laughed, and just as she was about to lift her leg and enter, she suddenly remembered something, and turned around to ask, "In this room, does the Duke allow the Royal Concubine to enter?"

Hao Pingguan replied with a smile, "Our wangfei has a personality of jumping. In the whole Duke Palaces, as long as she wants to, there is no place she can't go."

Hao Pingguan's answer was very vague, and Huangfu Zhuer was too lazy to ask further, saying, "You don't have to follow me, I'm going to read some books inside."

Hao Pingguan replied, and then respectfully withdrew.

It had been a long time since there was such a torrential downpour. Bean-sized drops of rain fell on the glazed roof tiles and beaded oiled paper. It was like ten thousand horses galloping, and the noise did not stop.

Amidst the clamor, the emperor heard every word that Bai Rubing said clearly.

His face became darker and darker, and his eyes became more sinister. It was almost comparable to the gloomy sky outside. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Are you speaking the truth?"

"Absolutely." Bai Rubing bowed and took a step forward, "This subject's wife is a frequent customer of that jewelry store, and when I heard the shopkeeper speak about it, I thought it was about Princess Chu. However, the shopkeeper said that other than Princess Chu, there was also a lady who called her Zhu Er. When this old subject heard this, I did not think too much. There are many ladies called Zhu Er in the world, but the emperor knows that Huangfu Zhuer did indeed escaped three years ago. At that time, this matter was not made public, and it is hard to determine whether or not Prince Chu knows. Just in case, this humble subject does not dare to alert the enemy, and secretly investigate secretly. In the end, I found out that this pearl was the Huangfu Zhuer who escaped back then. "

"As a prince, he dares to harbor such a felon in the imperial court," the Emperor shouted angrily. "He knows the law is against him, so his crime should be even greater."

"Please calm your anger, your Majesty," Bai Rubing said as he lowered his body in panic. "Prince Chu isn't an average person.

The Emperor raised his eyes. "What wise ideas do you have?"

"The Prince Chu dares to let outsiders see Huangfu Zhuer, he does not seem to care if others find out about him, the Emperor knows of this matter, the Emperor relied on his illustrious military exploits, he is often arrogant to the point where the people of the world only know that the Prince Chu does not know of him, he dares to be so arrogant, if the Emperor wants to touch the Prince Chu, he will first take over his military power, and when the time comes, he will become a bachelor, the Emperor can punish him however he wants."

The Emperor muttered to himself for a while, "The military power is in his hands, what sort of name should he use to collect it? If he acts upon hearing the news, then I will be in a passive position. "

Bai Rubing said: "This humble subject has a way, I can give it a try." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and bent down to whisper into the emperor's ear.

The emperor's tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed, but the sinister look in his eyes became more and more intense. "Mn, although he is lawless, he can still be considered to be a person who values friendship. Otherwise, why would he keep Huangfu Zhuer at his residence, but …" He was a little worried, "Will he hand over the military power for a Huangfu Zhuer?"

All these years of not marrying had also been for her sake. Prince Chu had always felt a deep sense of guilt towards the destruction of the Huangfu family, I thought that this time, he would risk his life to protect Huangfu Zhuer. ""?

The Emperor did not speak, but simply stared at the rising white smoke in the smoker.

Your majesty, you can't hesitate any longer. Think about what the Prince Chu has done, poison the White Tiger, plunder the GongGuo, strike the Royal Uncle with your fists, enter and exit the palace as if there is no one else, flout the palace rules, kill with your Forbidden Palace, although we did not find any conclusive evidence regarding the matter regarding the Prince Yu, but his suspicions are the greatest.

The emperor closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them, "There is his power in the palace, we can't alert the enemy, and we can't be too hasty, if you make the arrangements, everything will be done in secret. Also, don't let Xiu Min know that he is an old pedant, and I'm afraid something bad will happen if he finds out."

"This humble official naturally knows." Bai Rubing said, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. This humble subject will definitely be careful and ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The Emperor looked tired. Leaning on the Soft Couch, he closed his eyes and said, "You can go now. Oh right, Noble Consort isn't feeling well these few days. Go take a look at her."

"Yes, this humble official will take his leave." Bai Rubing saluted and slowly retreated.

The moment he walked out the door, Gao Shenghai cupped his hands and bowed to him, "Prime Minister, the sedan is ready, let's go quickly. I'm afraid the Noble Consort is worried."

Bai Rubing acknowledged his presence and asked the young eunuch to bring the palanquin into it with an umbrella.

At the palace. Imperial Consort Bai was pacing around in her heart with an anxious expression on her face. When she saw Bai Rubing, she hurriedly came over and asked, "Father, what did the emperor say?"

"Done." Bai Rubing laughed: "The Emperor has been afraid of the Prince Chu for more than one or two days. Although the things that we did previously can't do anything to him, but now that we have done it one by one, the Emperor knows for sure that this time, if we do not take him down, I swear that I will not be a human being!"

Imperial Consort Bai smiled, "It's not a waste for Father to hide his strength for so many years, as long as we take over Prince Chu, our Bai Family's future will be much easier."

"How are things going with you?"

"Right now, I am in charge of controlling the life and death of the harem. If anyone wants to die, the King of Hell will not dare to do so."

"The more critical the situation is, the more you must calm down and make it seem all the more natural," Bai Rubing laughed sinisterly. "Father said that as long as you can endure it, the successor will be yours sooner or later."
