After crossing over, the demon king rolled in my arms and acted like a spoiled child

On the second day, the imperial mausoleum was calm and peaceful.

The mute slave usually only took care of the backyard of the temple and seldom came out. When he did not show up, many eunuchs did not know that he was missing.

Whenever Wang Nei Shi and the others had time, they gathered around Bai Jiyue and asked in unison, "You are quite capable. Did you really convince General Wang to help you?"

Bai Jiyue warned solemnly: "You must keep this matter a secret. After all, the mute slave is the emperor's man!"

The three of them changed their expressions slightly and fell silent.

The next day, it was reported that "Eunuch Bai" had contracted the "epidemic" and General Wang sent people to deal with him overnight.

From then on, Bai Jiyue escaped from the imperial mausoleum safely.

On the way back to the Dark Stone Wasteland, she went to Jiayuan County and paid a visit to His Royal Highness Prince Qing in the county seat.

When Prince Qing saw her coming, he smiled and said, "It seems like you have changed your mind?"

Bai Jiyue looked up at him and asked directly, "Your Highness Prince Qing, can you answer a question for me?"

"You said."

"What made His Royal Highness Prince Qing determined to do this?"

Prince Qing's expression became complicated, and after a while he sighed, "If I say that I was hesitant before, but it was Princess Qingyue who finally made me make up my mind. Can you trust me?"

He originally had an expression that said "You definitely don't believe this", but Bai Jiyue nodded and said, "I believe this."

She believed that Princess Qingyue's disappearance was the final catalyst that made Prince Qing determined to rebel.

Just like, the catalyst that made her decide to help Prince Qing was learning that Bai Shousheng had been thrown to the bottom of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Beasts by the Human Emperor.

She didn't discuss it with Bai Jiri, but she believed that if she had, Bai Jiri would definitely support her approach.

At the beginning, their father strongly supported the current Human Emperor to sit on the throne, and he also made a lot of efforts for this. In Bai Jiyue's memory, when they were young, Bai Shousheng once said that he had a brotherly relationship with the Human Emperor.

However, even though this person had assisted him in ascending to the throne, the Human Emperor killed him without hesitation!

The Human Emperor imprisoned women from all races and tortured them cruelly just to satisfy his own selfish desire to practice martial arts. In comparison, not letting a child like Qingyue go does not seem to show his heartlessness.

In terms of personal morality, he was cruel and ruthless. In terms of governing the country, the emperor had made no achievements in these years. He just exploited the people, compromised with foreign races, and had no courage or enterprising spirit.

What reason is there to be loyal to such a Human Emperor?

It would be better to overthrow the Human Emperor and assist a more enlightened monarch to take over. Perhaps there will be a turning point for her family and for the human race as well.

"Your Highness Prince Qing, can you tell me why Princess Qingyue is the reason why you made up your mind?" she asked.

Prince Qing stroked his forehead, his expression somewhat helpless: "Because Princess Qingyue is my biological daughter. I think you probably already know this, but you still want me to admit it in person?"

Bai Jiyue nodded: "Yes, I want to see how honest His Royal Highness Prince Qing is with me. After all, the most important thing in cooperation is sincerity, isn't it?"

Prince Qing's eyes lit up: "So, you——"

"My daughter and my family are willing to help His Royal Highness Prince Qing!" Bai Jiyue said in a clear voice.

She did not say she was pledging allegiance, because in the modern mindset, she felt that she and King Qing were equals, and they were just helping and cooperating with each other.

Prince Qing was overjoyed and helped her up personally: "That's great, with you, I am even more powerful!"

He knew very well that Bai Jiyue was not just Bai Jiyue's family, but also the governor of Dark Stone Wasteland, Cen Changqing, and even many of Bai Shousheng's loyal subordinates.

"I wonder if Your Highness Prince Qing could tell me about your future plans? So that I can cooperate with Your Highness and make preparations in advance." Bai Jiyue asked.

King Qing nodded and said, "Of course. I recruit talents with sincerity. I have already recruited a group of people from the Spiritual Tribe and the Artisan Tribe to serve me. Later, I will use the Artisan Tribe to make advanced weapons for me, and the Spiritual Tribe will help me tame spiritual beasts. These will play a big role in the future battlefield."

Bai Jiyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Prince Qing would really not hide it from her.

She had previously guessed that Prince Qing might have recruited people from the Artisan and Spirit tribes, but she thought that this matter was very confidential and Prince Qing might not tell it. She didn't expect that he actually told it.

"This king has always felt that the human race is no worse than the craftsmen and spirits. The races on Qinglan Continent should live together as equals, and there should be no racial differences. So if this king is lucky enough to ascend to the throne, I will certainly work hard to improve the status of our human race on Qinglan Continent."

Bai Jiyue nodded in agreement. Prince Qing's words were exactly what she liked.

"Now, Your Highness Prince Qing, do you need me to secretly deliver the Dark Stone to you?"

Prince Qing nodded and said, "That's right. I'm not fully prepared yet. I can't let the emperor know about this, so I need your help in secret. To make ordinary weapons, you don't need very good dark stones. Wooden dark stones will do."

Bai Jiyue hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think three months is enough time for you to prepare for the uprising?"

"enough."

"So what if I give you all the dark stones confiscated from the Dark Stone Wasteland?" Bai Jiyue said domineeringly.

The two talked about other matters related to the rebellion. Bai Jiyue found that many of Prince Qing's ideas coincided with her own. She had to admit that Prince Qing was a suitable person to be a monarch.

Before they knew it, it was already dark. Prince Qing set up a banquet and said to Bai Jiyue, "Shall I invite a few more colleagues to come in and keep you company?"

Bai Jiyue waved her hand: "No, just a simple meal will be fine."

She always felt uncomfortable when she was the only woman in a group of men chatting and laughing at the table. Especially when the men drank too much, it was inevitable that one or two of them would lose their composure, and she really didn't like those who lost their composure when drinking.

Prince Qing smiled and said, "Then I will keep you company alone."

"I have been bothering Your Highness for a long time, Your Highness, there is no need to--"

Prince Qing waved his hand to interrupt her: "I haven't had enough fun talking to you yet, I am willing to keep you company."

This woman was smarter and more insightful than he had imagined, and she also had foresight and courage. She was not comparable to ordinary women, and he admired her a little.

If I could stay by his side, she would be considered his capable and virtuous wife!

With this thought in mind, I looked at Bai Jiyue again and felt that apart from the freckles on her face and her skin being rough from days of riding and being exposed to the sun and rain, her facial features were actually very beautiful.

Skin problems are easy to solve and will get better with proper care for a period of time. He even couldn't help but think that if this woman wore palace clothes instead of military uniform, she might have a different kind of bright beauty!

His heart was slightly rippling as he raised his glass to toast Bai Jiyue.

Bai Jiyue was quite straightforward and drank the first glass, but he insisted on not drinking any more afterwards.

Prince Qing did not force her and continued chatting with her while drinking. After a few rounds of drinks, Prince Qing suddenly moved close to Bai Jiyue and stared at her.

Bai Jiyue touched his face and asked inexplicably: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
