The days passed, and spring began.
Everything was the same, everything was different. Spring rain, fine rain, fall people's hearts as if a mold.
Morong Gan still went to the upper echelons every day, but Prince Chu, who was once powerful and majestic, had now become a joke in the eyes of the Courtier. He was now almost an empty shell, except for the crown prince's hat, which he still held in his hand. Every day at court, the Emperor would make fun of him. He did not get angry. His face was expressionless, and he did not utter a word. He looked a bit depressed.
Not only did the emperor mock him, even the Prime Minister Bai made fun of him. From head to toe, he tried to take advantage of every opportunity to pull his face off, if it was in the past, he would have already trampled his heart, but now, it seemed like he was used to it.
In the end, even the Prince Jin could not stand it and ran over to persuade him, "Third Brother, why do you have to go through all this trouble? If they want to fight, just do it.
Morong Gan asked, "Second brother has been back for so long, and you still don't want to see him?"
"Forget it, I am not involved with their matters, I am still the same attitude, a casual prince, whoever is in charge will be satisfied, I am not like you, the Third Brother, who is involved on both sides, until now, I have turned myself into such a state."
Morong Gan said, "I am in the middle of them, and neither side dares to act rashly, this was a situation that I wanted, to use the Emperor to suppress second brother, to use second brother to restrain the Emperor, but after coming to this step, I have no confidence, and do not know what to do."
The Prince Jin sighed, "I'm afraid that all of Third Brother's hard work will go to waste in the end, the Emperor is getting more and more preposterous, he could once be considered a good emperor who loves his citizens due to his hard work, but now, he is allowing Bai Rubing and his father to make a ruckus in the. If this goes on, even if the dynasty does not move, the nation will not be able to move forward! "
Morong Gan was silent for a while, "There are some things that are not to my wish, I am afraid I have to be entrusted with it by the Empress. Don't worry, East Yue is still the Mo Rong family's East Yue, Third Brother knows very well, and will not become a nation. "
"With Third Brother's words, little brother's heart can finally return to normal," the Prince Jin hesitated for a moment, "Third Brother, is there any news about the Royal Consort?"
Morong Gan said as he smiled bitterly, "She specializes in running away. When I was at the residence, I had witnessed her ability to throw people off, and now that we are outside, the sky is wide and the earth is huge, finding her is easier said than done."
"Although this matter has not been made public, I'm afraid that the Emperor already has the letter. The Third Brother should look for the imperial concubine first."
Mo Rong narrowed her eyes, a glint flashed in her eyes, "I know."
Prince Jin cupped his hands towards him, "Now that we brothers want to drink in private, I'm afraid it won't be easy anymore. We will part ways here. Third Brother, be careful."
"Mm, you can go back." Morong Gan stood there with his hands behind his back, and watched him leave.
Ning Jiu brought his horse over, and with a slender body, he stood straight as a bamboo, "Your Highness, the General Han's secret letter has arrived."
"What do you mean?"
"General Han please rest assured, Your Highness. He and General Li are already prepared, and will be waiting for Your Highness's order at any time."
Morong Gan looked at the new sprouts on the trees by the side of the road, "How is Xiao Changkang's recovery?"
"It's already done, he's getting impatient, he wants the prince to assign him some work."
Bai Rubing has promoted one of his distant cousins to be called Bai Zhengxiong, and he became the general of the Right Hall. Yesterday, he had already set off to take charge, and that was simply an idiot.
Ning Jiu's eyes lit up: Yes, this subordinate will immediately inform him. Your Highness, are we going to fight? "
Morong Gan retracted his gaze, "It's hard to go against fate, that position wasn't his to begin with, and letting him come down would also be following the will of the heavens."
Ning Jiu was silent for a moment, "Does Your Highness want the crown prince to take the throne?"
"The crown prince is a sage, only a sage can shoulder the burden of the world. However, "Morong Gan's words changed the subject," Before we have reached the final step, everything is possible. "
"In this subordinate's opinion, the Emperor is not qualified to assume such a great responsibility. The crown prince is too intelligent, and the prince has the courage to do so. Why …"
"How dare you!" Morong Gan swept his cold and stern gaze across them. "Don't let me hear such words again."
"Yes," Ning Jiu bowed his head, his face expressionless.

Bai Qianfan decided not to run.
At first, Morong Gan had promised to take her on a tour in Jiangnan, but things changed when she saw other people, so she didn't know what to say anymore. However, when she arrived in Jiangnan, she liked everything that happened here. A house with white brick walls and an alley paved with stone, the water was green and clear enough to see the bottom. If someone was fishing by the river, they would be able to pull up a big fat grass fish. The beauty outside the fence was burning red, her stamen always stained with dew, picking one and sucking on it, it was even sweeter than honey.
They had originally wanted to run to Ling Nan because they were very curious about the rumors of Dong Ri wearing simple clothes, but after arriving here, Bai Qianfan did not want to leave. Separated by the river and by the river, they had already left the Linan City far behind. In these two months, they had not heard of any news of Princess Chu being captured.
Since they decided to stay, they naturally had to carefully plan things out. After all, they had some money in their hands, but they couldn't afford to be idle. They had to use money to make money, and only then would they be able to live their lives.
With the three of them together, they decided to set up camp in the small town. There was a trade at the front and a people at the back.
As for what kind of business they were going to do, they had discussed it before and decided to make it an embroidery workshop. Yue Guiyi was a Successor Disciple of Lv He, so he would definitely be able to sell whatever he embroidered for a good price. Yue Xiang's cooking skills were not bad either.
They were all practical people. Once they made up their minds, they would start a fight. Soon, they got to know each other well. The three rooms at the back even had a yard.
After paying the deposit, he got someone to make some modifications and bought some furniture. Within a few days, the embroidery workshop was opened up. There was a signboard on the door with a blue and red color: Xiao Yue Embroidery Workshop.
The name was given to her by Bai Qianfan. She had always known it was easy for her to name it, so she took Yue Xiang's "laurel moon" and added a small word on it out of habit. Yue Xiang said that the "small word" was ugly and so she changed it to "Xiao".
Outside the shop, the firecrackers were crackling non-stop. The three of them covered their ears and hid in the doorway, laughing and laughing nonstop. Looking at the shop's entrance, the neatly arranged embroidery and the bustling crowd outside, the three of them held each other's hands and were filled with confidence for the future.
