In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

"I will save money and buy a house next to yours. Then the three of us can live together and be neighbors."

“It’s such a comfortable life.”

Bai Lu nodded when she heard this. She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's do this then."

After the three of them finished talking, they hurriedly went to prepare dinner. Tonight, the three decided to have a drink to celebrate that Madam Luo had finally left that devil's cave.

Bailu and Luo Niangzi argued over two more plates of meat dishes, stir-fried pork with cucumber and shredded pork with fish flavor. These two dishes made everyone salivate with the delicious smell.

After another delicious meal, the three of them went back to rest.

......

"My young prince, why did you come with me in a carriage to this place where neither humans nor ghosts exist?"

Bai Qingze was sitting in an extremely luxurious carriage, wearing a lustrous light blue robe that made him look tall and slender, and holding a folding fan in his hand, looking like a graceful and elegant gentleman.

Opposite him, there was a little boy who looked only four or five years old. The boy had red lips and white teeth, and looked like a little boy.

The material of his clothes is better than Bai Qingze's. Looking closely, it is found that only the Shu brocade tributed to the emperor can have such delicate and beautiful texture.

He sat upright on the couch, well-behaved, looking very elegant and yet a bit pretentious as if he was mature beyond his years.

The young prince felt a little guilty at this moment: "...It was the Empress's sister-in-law who asked me to come here."

The little prince is the youngest brother of the current emperor, and is the son born to the empress dowager in her old age.

There is not only the emperor now, but also the emperor emeritus. They are very fond of this youngest son. The emperor even directly appointed this younger brother as a prince and gave him the title of An.

People in Kyoto call him the Little Prince.

"Ah, why did the Queen ask you to come here?"

Bai Qingze rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.

"this......"

The young prince thought about it carefully, then said obediently.

"I heard that there is a great monk in Kyoto who asked me to come here, saying that I can meet the woman destined for me, and that woman can cure my stubborn illness."

That’s right, the little prince was born with a chronic disease. All the fortune tellers said that he would not live to see the age of 18, and the people in the Imperial Hospital also said that the disease was congenital and there was nothing they could do.

He was born with a heart problem and won't live long.

The emperor and the empress were very sad to hear this, and the empress dowager and the emperor were naturally also very sad to hear this.

They all tried their best to extend the life of the little prince. Finally, a very magical monk told them the method to extend his life, which is what I mentioned above.

If it was an ordinary monk who spoke, they naturally would not believe it, but this great monk had predicted several years ago that she would definitely become the queen.

At that time, the queen was just a beauty who entered the palace to be selected. Unexpectedly, she really became the queen in the end... According to common sense, her family background was obviously not as good as others.

After seeing the young prince, the big monk smiled and said to him that his fate had come, and asked him to go to Liangzhou and get closer to Master Bai.

It is said that Master Bai could take him to Liangzhou, where he would meet his destined love.

Bai Qingze couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw the serious look on the young prince's face.

He couldn't help but hold his forehead, "... these stinky monks' words, little prince, you and the queen, and the queen mother, you... you actually believe them!"

"What the hell are these?!"

"What do you mean by destiny? You are only five years old. How can you find destiny?!"

"..."

He felt terrible. These people were really good at fooling people.

He had been summoned to the palace by the Queen before, and the Queen told him to remember to bring the little prince with him when he went to Liangzhou, but he didn't want to.

Unexpectedly, the young prince appeared in the carriage himself.

Moreover, at this time, they had been far away from Beijing for some time, so he had no choice but to take the little prince with him.

After a few days, when the two of them arrived in Liangzhou, the young prince held Bai Qingze's hand and spoke to him very obediently.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, should we go out and play for a while now?"

"Not available."

Bai Qingze shook his head and said impatiently: "My young prince, let my guards take you for a stroll around the streets. I have important things to do."

He heard from the Crown Prince that someone in Liangzhou might be planning a rebellion, so he came here specifically to investigate.

Speaking of which, I am very familiar with Liangzhou, because my sister was lost in Liangzhou. I searched for her for a very long time last year, for a month or two, but after finding no trace of her, I left.

He had no impression of Liangzhou, and his only impression was probably those little fat boys.

The chubby little girl was very happy when I held her in my arms last year.

Later, when he returned to Kyoto, he would sometimes think of those chubby little girls.

Such a soft touch is really good.

Afterwards, he asked his eldest brother to give birth to a few chubby little girls for him, but his eldest brother was useless. All he gave birth to were nephews, not nieces. He was very unhappy.

Hearing that Bai Qingze had something to do in Liangzhou, the young prince nodded and said nothing. Instead, he was very well behaved and went out happily with the guards.

Bai Qingze squinted his eyes and looked at the little prince, but didn't say anything. The little prince was raised very well by the empress dowager and the emperor.

Very well-behaved and calm, not bad.

Even the empress and the emperor liked the little prince very much. Besides, the age difference between the little prince and the emperor was too great, so the emperor did not feel that the little prince would threaten his throne at all.

"..."

As the young prince was walking with Bai Qingze and several of his guards, they suddenly came to a very remote alley.

"...Didn't you say you would buy me another candied haws?"

The little prince opened his cute big eyes and looked at Bai Qingze's guards. He saw that the guards had ugly expressions and did not speak.

They felt a very strong murderous intent.

I'm afraid someone wants to kill Bai Qingze.

When they saw Bai Qingze with a child, they thought it was Bai Qingze's family member, so they followed them.

Their little prince was no ordinary man; he was the late-born son of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and one of the Emperor's most beloved brothers.

It is conceivable that if he was assassinated in Liangzhou.

No matter who killed him, Bai Qingze's family would definitely be blamed.

Several guards hurriedly said, "Young Prince, please wait here for a moment, we will be back soon."

"..."

Half an hour passed, and the little prince had already finished the candied haws in his hand.

He sat on the steps with his chin resting on his hand, looking outside in a daze. He had no idea what was going on outside.

No matter how smart he is, he is only five years old now.

Whatever the guard says is what it is.

But now they haven't come back for such a long time, and he feels a little panicked.

Based on the unpredictable situation in the palace, he could roughly guess that something might have happened.

The young prince blinked his eyes, and suddenly, he saw a man in black clothes in front of him. He looked exactly like the assassin who had assassinated his brother in the palace before.

Seeing the shining white blade, he was startled and shouted, "Ouch!"

He jumped up with a sound and ran madly!

He yelled, "Help! Help!"

"!!!"

Everyone on the street was shocked by him at this moment!

I saw a man in black clothes, holding a knife tightly, and was about to chase and kill the little prince!

The little prince ran loudly and desperately, no longer caring about his image.

The Shu brocade robe he was wearing seemed a little heavy at this time, and he even wanted to take off the cotton coat... But if he took it off at this moment, he would freeze to death.

The little prince ran while crying. He had not expected that such a thing would happen on his first time out of Kyoto.

If leaving the palace was so dangerous, he would not have followed him out...Wow, I'm so sad, so sad.

He didn't know how long he had been running, the crowd became thinner and thinner, and he had already run into the mountains.

This is his limit.

There was no one wearing black clothes nearby. When I was running just now, I didn't notice the person in black clothes, and I wasn't caught up by the people behind me. Was the person in black clothes killed by my guards? Or maybe Bai Qingze came to find me.

"..."

But how could Bai Qingze find me? What is this place? !

Why are there so many weeds around here? !

And there is a mountain nearby.

The little prince looked around in a daze.

Where did he run to? There is no one around.

He kept shouting, "Is there anyone here?!"

"Is there anyone here?!"

“Is there…cough cough cough!!!”

But after the young prince shouted a few words, he felt extremely weak and exhausted, and fainted on the ground.

When he woke up again, he found himself in a carriage.

This carriage was filled with all kinds of children, both boys and girls, all about the same age as the young prince, and they were all very beautiful.

When the young prince woke up, he heard people outside laughing and discussing.

"All these kids are pretty good-looking. Sell them directly to a brothel! How much would that cost?"

"Go to Lianhua Town, there is a brothel there... I forgot what it was called, but the price offered by that brothel is quite high. Previously, that brothel had been reselling children."

"It seems that this brothel can probably offer a good price."

"Yes, yes. Among this batch of goods there is a child who looks delicate and tender. It is obvious that the child was born in a wealthy family. He is so good-looking, and he will definitely be sold for a good price."

"But I heard that the madam of that brothel has a rule that they won't accept children from wealthy families."

"If it was a child from a wealthy family, she would be afraid that someone would come after her."

"Then we'll give them all coarse clothes later."

"..."

So the young prince watched helplessly as several ferocious-looking men lifted the curtain of the carriage, stripped him of his clothes, and confiscated the fine jade pendant on his waist, which was a birthday gift from the queen to him.

They looked at the jade pendant, which had a very auspicious pattern on it. However, in order to remain low-key and to conceal his identity as a prince, he did not wear anything in the shape of a dragon.

If he had brought something in the shape of a dragon, they would have quickly discovered his identity as a prince and would not have been able to capture him.

Those people laughed and said, "Oh, this child is indeed born in a wealthy family. Look! He is wearing a jade pendant, which must be worth several hundred taels of silver."

"..."

The young prince looked at them in shock, and for a moment, he was so frightened that he could not utter a word.

After all, he is still just a child, and he is not even five years old. When encountering such a situation, it is good enough for him to have time to listen to those outsiders talk and analyze the situation.

What hundreds of taels of silver? This is something that even tens of thousands of taels cannot buy. It is a priceless jade pendant!

This was given to me by the Queen!

It was given to me by the Queen. It is a gift from the Emperor.

Maybe it can be compared with ordinary things.

The young prince was very scared at this time. He quickly said, "No, no, no, this is not just a few hundred taels of silver, this is a lot of silver!"

The young prince kept emphasizing to them, "Actually, I am the prince in the palace."

"...I am His Royal Highness Prince An of the palace, and this jade pendant was given to me by the Queen."

"If you don't believe me, go find the county magistrate directly, or the governor of Liangzhou, and they can take you to claim your reward."

"I am really the prince, I really am the prince!"

The others looked at each other, and immediately said to the young prince fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you still a prince?!"

"If you were the prince, we would still be the emperor."

"That's right, who does he think he is... and a prince."

"Don't think you can just talk nonsense just because you look like a rich kid. We are not that easy to fool. We are not easy to fool."

"Haha, you're still the prince, aren't you just trying to trick us into reporting it to the police?! Let me tell you, we will never report it to the police, so just wait to be sold in!"

"It's really rare to find a child as delicate and tender as you. Who knows, maybe after being sold to a brothel for a while, you can start receiving customers."
