Xiu Min looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Your majesty, you want this subject to go and meet the Prince Chu?"
"That's right," the Emperor leaned back in his chair, looking a little dispirited. "I've thought about it for a long time, and I think that cultivating in love is the best choice."
"B-but …" Xiu Min looked at Prime Minister Bai who was at the side silently, "This subject feels that it is better to send Prime Minister Bai."
Prime Minister Bai immediately retorted: "What is Grand Scholar saying, it's more appropriate to send me there. You are Prince Chu's father-in-law, your relationship is extraordinary, naturally it's you."
"If you want to talk about this," Xiu Min snorted coldly, "Your daughter married the Prince Chu as her main wife, and the Prime Minister is the direct relative of the Prince Chu, her father-in-law."
"Who doesn't know that the Prince Chu has enmity with me? When has he ever seen me without a beard or glare? I'm afraid that before I can even get close to him, he would have his people cut me off. In that case, wouldn't it ruin the emperor's plans?"
"Your majesty the Emperor, although my daughter is married to the Prince Chu, she is no different from an abandoned wife. When the Prince Chu left, he left her behind, he did not recognize her, and if I were to go, it is as the Prime Minister said, I would be killed before I can even reach him, this secret letter should be entrusted to someone else."
"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Bai also cupped his hands, "Grand Scholar is a virtuous and noble man, his eloquence is exceptional, and his identity is special. This old official thinks that he is the best choice."
"You!" Xiu Min was so angry that his face was flushed red, she glared at Prime Minister Bai, "Everyone knows, that Prince Chu loves his wife as long as he lives, even if there was a conflict between Prince Chu and the Prime Minister, it should have been resolved long ago. Now that Princess Chu is no longer here, besides Prince Chu being missing you, Prince Chu will definitely love Prime Minister Bai more, this official thinks that Prime Minister Bai is the best choice."
"Xiu Min!" Prime Minister Bai shouted, "Don't refuse a toast and refuse a drink. When Prince Chu betrayed us, the Emperor did not blame you.
"Bai Rubing! You despicable fellow, just because you're afraid of death, you want to push this old man out, "he said to the emperor." Your majesty, the fact that the Prince Chu didn't kill Bai Changjian is the best proof.
Prime Minister Bai was so angry that he could not take it anymore, he stepped forward and ruthlessly pushed him, "You old fool, you are full of nonsense …"
Xiu Min did not show any weakness and pushed him back fiercely, "You old scoundrel, bewitching my master …"
The emperor looked at the two civil servants fighting in front of him. He felt a terrible headache. He slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at them, unable to speak for a long time.
Both Prime Minister Bai and Scholars panicked and hurried up to help him. "Your majesty, are you alright?"
The Emperor pushed them aside and said, "I'm fine. I was angered to the point of having something to do by all of you. I can understand why all of you are begging for self-protection when a great catastrophe is about to befall. I am truly disappointed. I have always told you how loyal I am to the imperial court, but now that your time has come, you have come with all kinds of excuses. "He sighed and walked to the window while flicking his sleeves, his voice low and desolate," The powerful officials that I rely on are like this, it is no wonder that I am unable to make good on my country. "
Xiu Min and Prime Minister Bai both went silent, their faces filled with shame. They were all old fogeys who had been lustful for dozens of years, and were already accustomed to taking benefits as a precondition for everything. They had thought carefully, carefully, and repeatedly weighed the pros and cons.
After a long while, Xiu Min opened his mouth and said, "Your majesty, this old subject is willing to meet with the Prince Chu."
Prime Minister Bai's eyes lit up. The emperor turned around, but his expression was indifferent. "I am very happy that you managed to figure it out, but you don't have to force yourself. After all …" He sighed. "In my heart, you are all very important."
"Your majesty, this old official is willing," Xiu Min revealed a resolute expression, "No matter what the result is, this old subject will definitely do his best."
"Alright!" The emperor smirked, "Don't worry, Xiu Da. I will send a Jinjun to escort my beloved one out. If we do not kill my beloved one, when the two armies are at war, the Prince Chu will always be at war. They will understand this very well, so there is no need to doubt it.

Outside the city, Jia Tong escorted the crown prince's group to the encampment, Morong Gan stood in front of the wooden stake to welcome them. The crown prince got off the horse carriage, looked excited, and quickly walked over, "Third brother has worked hard, and managed to get to Lin An in such a short period of time.
Morong Gan made a gesture of invitation: "I still need to torture second brother to stay in the camp for a few days, and wait for me to take down the Linan City before welcoming him into the city."
At that time, he knew that in terms of fighting prowess, he would never be a match for Morong Gan and would never be able to defeat him. Back then, Prince Chu had beaten him up for Morong Han, but now, he was helping him beat Morong Han. Mister Zhuge was right, the one who gets the Prince Chu is the whole world, Morong Han had shattered his trump card, but he did not.
She wanted to step forward and greet him, but she was a little hesitant. She covered her mouth and coughed a few times, but Prince Chu Elephant didn't notice her, so she entered the tent while conversing with the crown prince.
The last time she saw him was the night before the funeral of the Princess Chu. At that time, he was in deep grief and dejection, as if his bones had been ripped, and was unable to recover from his defeat. But seeing him today, she knew that his cold and sharp aura was enormous, and his every move was filled with majesty. She actually did not dare to go forward to speak to him, but this was the lofty Prince Chu in her heart, the Warlord that made people feel fear and reverence for him.
The crown prince had said that the Prince Chu had deviated from the right path and wanted to help him return to the right path.
Bai Qianfan was already dead, and no one could compete with her anymore. Time could cure all of the pain, and as long as she stayed by his side, she would definitely see her one day.
In that room, Prince Chu sat down with the crown prince and ordered someone to serve tea. Just as the two of them spoke, Ning Jiu walked in, "My prince, Forbidden Palace has sent an envoy to seek an audience." Now that it was no longer convenient to call him emperor and he couldn't call him by his full name, he could only use Forbidden Palace in place.
Morong Gan frowned: "What do you want to say?"
"They say that there is a secret letter for you, your highness." Ning Jiu hesitated, "Scholars said it's related to the wangfei."
The crown prince and Zhuge Qianyu quickly exchanged glances, when he heard Morong Gan say "oh", "Is it Xiu Min?"
"Yes, the one that was sent was Grand Scholar Xiu Min."
Morong Gan was silent for a moment, then stood up and cupped his hands towards the crown prince, "Second brother has worked hard all this while, rest well, I will be back shortly."
