The Prime Minister Bai hurriedly stepped into the Chengde Hall, while Gao Shenghai was at the door, and upon seeing the situation, quickly went forward to stop him, "Prime Minister, please wait for a moment, allow this servant to report in."
The Prime Minister Bai's eyes widened, "When did this duke want to report to you?"
Gao Shenghai's expression was a little uneasy. He stuttered but he did not know why, so he did not move aside.
Only then did Prime Minister Bai understand. He stomped his feet in anger and inwardly complained to himself. The Queen was gone, there was no need for that, why was she still … Was he addicted to it?
He walked to the side, his old face red with embarrassment. He raised his head to look at the vermicelli painting on the veranda and said, "You go in and take a look. Are you done? I have urgent matters to discuss with the Emperor."
Gao Shenghai replied and quietly entered the inner hall. There was Yun Zhi standing at the door, looking at him blissfully.
Gao Shenghai made a gesture, causing Yun Zhi to look inside, her face blushing as she shook her head.
Gao Shenghai coughed lightly. There was no response from inside, he coughed once more, ai, there was a reaction, the bed suddenly shook, followed by Imperial Consort Bai's breathing, it suddenly went from high to low, it was sharp and thin, like a filament wrapped around one's head, causing one to be unable to breathe.
Gao Shenghai was an inmate, he was missing something, so he took a longer time to answer that question. However, after hearing that voice, he started to feel very uncomfortable, so he quickly raised his voice to clear his throat.
The emperor finally spoke, his voice hoarse as he panted, "What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Emperor, Prime Minister Bai said that he had important matters to attend to."
"Got it."
Gao Shenghai's back was drenched in sweat, his hand gently pulled back, only to hear the Imperial Consort Bai screaming, the threads suddenly shot straight up into the sky, and then stopped at the place, there was no reaction for a long time, and after a long while, they returned to the place as though they had returned to their senses, causing people's hair to stand.
Gao Shenghai wiped off his sweat with his sleeve and quickly walked out, "Prime Minister, you should be in trouble soon.
He had to find an opportunity to talk about the Imperial Consort Bai. Now that the situation was tense, she couldn't pester the Emperor like this forever.
After a while, Yun Zhi came out to invite Prime Minister Bai in.
Prime Minister Bai was extremely embarrassed. He kept his eyes on the ground and greeted the five clawed gold dragon embroidered shoes that were right in front of him. "Your Majesty, this old servant has something to tell you."
The emperor was fully dressed, but his hair was still loose. He sat on a stool and allowed the eunuch to comb his hair.
He seemed rather lazy. "Speak, what's the matter?"
Prime Minister Bai glanced at the old eunuch who combed his hair and was a little hesitant.
"It's fine, the old man beside me is fine. Speak."
"Yes, this old subject has just received news that the southern troops are moving towards the northwest. However, the capital did not issue any command, and the Tiger Tally has always been kept in the palace. How could something so outrageous happen?"
The emperor raised his head abruptly. "Is there such a thing?" Didn't you send a general from the Right Hall over? "
"That's why it's strange. These two garrison troops have always been the Prince Chu's trusted aides. This old official thinks that the Prince Chu might have done something to them."
The Emperor frowned. "He's like a cripple right now. What can he do to me?"
"But the Prince Chu has quite the high prestige in the military, this subject is afraid that he will mislead the masses, what if …" The Prime Minister Bai carefully observed the emperor's expression. "Your majesty, in this old subject's opinion, the Prince Chu cannot be left behind to prevent unnecessary trouble."
The gaze of the Emperor stopped at the bronze mirror, and then spoke with some hesitation: "It's not that the Prime Minister doesn't know that the Crown Prince has authority in the imperial court, and the powers of the Eastern Palace cannot be underestimated, since he dares to come back brazenly, he must be confident in his own abilities. Others look at him coldly in the eyes of the people in the Prince Chu, but I know of him. With him holding the crown prince in check, I have time to deploy. Without him, I would not be able to make up for the loss if the crown prince was in a desperate situation. "Besides, how can I force him to do so? I wonder if the crown prince has forced him to do so?"
The Prime Minister Bai was silent for a moment, then said: "But the Emperor forced him to do this, he is also unwilling to become enemies with the crown prince. We need time to plan, maybe the crown prince is also waiting for an opportunity. It will be bad at that time. "
At this time, the Imperial Consort Bai walked out and interrupted, "Your majesty, the prime minister is right. Time waits for no man, only after we settle the Prince Chu and the crown prince can your majesty rest in peace. Didn't your majesty refuse to become enemies with the crown prince?
"My beloved concubine, quickly tell me."
The Imperial Consort Bai's slender fingers fell on the Emperor's shoulder and lightly pressed on it. "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Princess Chu?"
"Didn't she run away?"
"She ran away, and Prince Chu was indifferent, as if he didn't mind at all. But the Emperor carefully thought about it, all of the heinous and immoral things that Prince Chu did, which one of them wasn't for Princess Chu? Chenqie thinks that the Prince Chu is purposefully releasing smoke bullets for us so that we can ignore the Princess Chu. In fact, the thing he cares about the most is the Princess Chu, why doesn't the Emperor use her as an example? "
Prime Minister Bai frowned, "He's already gone, where can we find him? I don't think so."
"Whether we can find it or not is another matter. Let's first test the reaction of the Prince Chu. Maybe we bet on the right treasure?"
Thinking about it now, from killing the White Tiger, robbing the contribution points to beating the Royal Uncle, or killing the mama, no matter which one, it was all related to the Princess Chu.
"We will do as Noble Consort says. We would like to see, in the Prince Chu's heart, whether the Crown Prince is more important or the Princess Chu is?"
Prime Minister Bai still wanted to advise him again: "But …"
The emperor waved his hand. "There are no buts. Let's do it this way."

In an ordinary small courtyard in the west of Linan City, when Crown Prince Morong Yuan heard this news, the corners of his mouth hooked into a faint smile: "They repeatedly force each other.
Just this tolerance alone, is not something to be looked down upon. This old man thought that by doing so, the Emperor had helped His Highness, and as the arrow is on the bow string, it cannot be released. As for that Princess Chu, it is best for us to first find her before the Emperor, since he is Bai Rubing's daughter, and leaving his in our hands will have some use, Your Highness, what do you think? "
Morong Yuan took a sip of tea, "I have never seen Princess Chu before, but hearing Zhu'er talk about her, I can see that he is a very interesting person. Previously, when Zhu Er was left behind to send away Princess Chu, it also proved his attitude towards it. But Mister was right, this little brother of mine is too patient with his own martial arts, and is extremely humble. Sometimes, even I am unable to guess what he is thinking in his heart. If Mister thinks that Princess Chu is better in our hands, then do as Mister says. But you must be careful and not let the people from Prince Chu know. "
