The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 132: Leaving money to buy the way

When Shangguan Qing finished speaking, it was already nearly three o'clock in the morning.

Next, we need to consider how to deal with Huangfu Yun. Logically speaking, the blame should not be implicated on infants and young children, and according to the law, pregnant women need to be given special care. However, the problem is that this child has the blood of Changsun Di, and in order to avoid possible accidents, we must ask the emperor for instructions and seek his opinion.

At this critical moment, every decision is crucial. On the one hand, if Huangfu Yun and her unborn baby are easily let go, will it leave hidden dangers for the future?

On the other hand, if overly harsh measures are taken against them, it may cause dissatisfaction among the people.

"Hongzhi, what do you think about this matter?" the emperor asked the third prince with a sharp gaze.

"I think that Huangfu Yun's name should be corrected to Changsun Yun first. At the same time, it is also necessary to make public the fact that she is the daughter of the traitor Changsun Di. After all, Changsun Di committed such a heinous crime that implicated nine generations of his clan! And Changsun Yun, not only has a bad character and a sinister and cunning heart, but he is also guilty and should be executed!" Zhao Hongzhi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied.

Hearing this, Bai Xinyin couldn't help but look up and look at the usually low-key and introverted boy in front of her. She never expected that at the critical moment, he could be so decisive and resolute, and his methods of dealing with the world were sophisticated and ruthless. On the political stage, there is indeed no room for indecision and soft-heartedness.

At this moment, she secretly sighed in her heart: I have to admit that his way of handling the matter is indeed very smart, and it can be said to be cutting the grass and eradicating the root of the problem. Because any potential hidden danger may cause countless people to pay a painful price or even lose their lives in the future.

The emperor remained calm and ordered: "It's getting late, go back and pack up, and set off as early as possible tomorrow. Take good care of your ninth sister on the way!"

"My son, I accept the decree!"

"I resign!"

The three of them said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective residences. Mu Yunxiao escorted Bai Xinyin all the way to the gate of the princess's residence, his eyes full of love and reluctance, but he eventually turned around and returned to the palace.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the house, and Bai Xinyin woke up slowly. After she simply washed up and had breakfast, she began to instruct the servants to carefully check whether everything was in order.

After everything was ready, Bai Xinyin went to her parents' residence to bid farewell, and then set off according to the time agreed yesterday, preparing to arrive at the city gate at 9:00 p.m. to meet up with the third prince.

Qingdai, Xiao Nanqiao and Zisu were left behind to look after the mansion and businesses in the capital, while Meijiu, Nanxing, Xiao Nanfeng, Zixuan and others went to Wei with Bai Xinyin.

Just as Bai Xinyin stepped out of the mansion, she saw Mu Yunxiao's familiar carriage quietly parked at the door. She walked forward quickly and asked softly, "Did the prince just return from court?"

Mu Yunxiao nodded slightly and replied, "That's right. It took a lot of effort to quell the rebellion of Changsun Di, and there are still many matters that need to be dealt with. After I have made all the arrangements, I will go to find Ayin immediately." As he spoke, his eyes stared at Bai Xinyin warmly and intently, as if he wanted to imprint her figure deeply in his heart. The reluctance to part in his eyes was moving.

"Okay!" Bai Xinyin agreed readily.

"Ayin, the journey is long, please take care of yourself! I will think of you all the time!" Mu Yunxiao extended his hand affectionately and gently stroked Bai Xinyin's hair, which was silky soft, black and shiny, and sparkling with charming luster.

He once vowed to never separate, but how can things in the world go as one wishes? At this moment, he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that God would bless his beloved to have a smooth and safe journey.

"Don't worry! I will miss you too." Bai Xinyin raised her head slightly, a touching smile blooming on her face, as if even the surrounding scenery was intoxicated by her.

"Also, remember to write to me every day. Don't be lazy!" Mu Yunxiao gently pinched Bai Xinyin's delicate, cute, and petite nose.

"Okay, I'll remember it!" Bai Xinyin agreed readily, and her answer was very straightforward, but she didn't know whether she could do it.

"If you forget to write the letter, don't blame me for punishing you when you come back," Mu Yunxiao said with a deliberately stern face.

"Don't worry, I've always been honest and trustworthy, and I'm absolutely reliable when it comes to doing things!" Bai Xinyin guaranteed, patting his chest.

The two chatted casually, and each other was in their eyes.

……

"Are you tired of it? If you can't bear to leave, just go with me," Ah Dai said with a sour look on his face.

"Puff!" A small stone flew towards Ah Dai.

"Oh my god! I'm out of here! Mu Yunxiao, you stabbed me from behind! That's not what a gentleman does!" Ah Dai yelled.

Bai Xinyin laughed when she saw Ah Dai's embarrassing look, and then said, "Let's go. If we delay any longer, we might miss the time."

Mu Yunxiao knew that Bai Xinyin was always a very punctual person, so he suggested, "Let's go by carriage. You will have enough time to ride along the way."

Bai Xinyin did not refuse and boarded the carriage. Soon, the group arrived at the city gate.

When the prince or princess goes out, they have to have the proper pomp and ceremony.

I saw that the third prince had been waiting here for a long time.

"Good morning, ninth sister!" The third prince stood there waiting with his guards, smiling, just like the sunny and cheerful boy next door.

"Good morning. Have you been waiting for a long time?" Bai Xinyin greeted politely.

"No, I just arrived not long ago." The third prince showed a bright smile.

"That's great. Let's set off now!" Before she finished speaking, Bai Xinyin, as light as a swallow, leaped onto a tall and mighty horse. Her movements were graceful and neat, like a fairy descending to the earth.

After sitting firmly, Bai Xinyin did not forget to turn around and give Mu Yunxiao a mischievous smile, singing: "I'll send you outside the city wall, and I have something to tell you. Even though all the flowers are blooming, don't pick the wild flowers on the roadside! It would be a waste if you don't pick them!"

Bai Xinyin deliberately spoke to Mu Yunxiao in a light-hearted and humorous tone, trying to make the atmosphere of parting less heavy and depressing.

"Naughty!" Mu Yunxiao looked at the quirky girl in front of him, and a little bit of reluctance welled up in his heart, but more of it was worry and concern for her.

"Don't forget to write to me every day to report your safety. If you dare to forget... wait until you come back, I will show you how I will deal with you!" Mu Yunxiao reminded him again before leaving.

"I know, I know!" Bai Xinyin uttered another authentic Sichuan dialect, which made him laugh out loud. Seeing this, Ah Dai turned his head away, indicating that he couldn't bear to watch.

Finally, everyone got on their horses and galloped towards the city gate. The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, raising a cloud of dust. They went farther and farther away, disappearing at the end of the road in the distance.

Mu Yunxiao climbed up the city wall, quietly gazing at Bai Xinyin's figure that was getting farther and farther away. He stood there for a long time, with a hint of attachment in his eyes: Ayin, wait for me for two days, I will definitely come to find you!

The group walked about three miles out of the city gate when they suddenly heard the faint sounds of people and horses neighing ahead.

Could it be that there are still remnants of the rebels? The Third Prince ordered everyone to be careful and to be on alert.

When I walked to a big tree in front, two people suddenly jumped out from behind the tree.

"Hey! This road was built by me, and this tree was planted by me. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage!" A young man in white clothes, with his face covered and holding a sword, shouted loudly to the crowd. Behind him followed a young man in green clothes, holding a fan to cover his face, as if he didn't want everyone to see him.

Bai Xinyin couldn't help but laugh as she watched the young man in white clothes swaying with the sword in his hand.

"You are so brave, daring to rob the royal family..." The third prince didn't finish the rest of the words. When he saw Bai Xinyin's smile, he looked at the masked boy and immediately frowned: "Seventh sister, you are fooling around. Go back quickly. If father finds out, he will blame you!

When Zhao Qing saw that her disguise had been exposed, she no longer tried to hide anything. She simply tore off the mask on her face and threw it aside fiercely. Then she said in a rogue manner, "Humph! You saw through me so quickly. What a joke! I just won't go back. What can you do to me? Just step over me if you have the guts!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she lay down on the ground like a crab and refused to get up.
