Bai Linan stood with his hands behind his back in the hall of Prince Yan's Palace

"Father, what's the matter that brought you here?" Bai Chuxiao said calmly.

Bai Linan said in a deep voice, "How long do you plan to leave those bodies outside your door?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Is that what father is talking about?"

Bai Linan said earnestly, "You should understand the principle of a new emperor, new ministers. What good is there in offending the new emperor?"

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "So father changed his position so easily?"

Bai Linan said calmly, "As the left prime minister, no matter who is the emperor, he cannot be easily moved."

Bai Chuxiao chuckled, "What do you mean by untouchable? It's just that the time has not come yet. When the new emperor has stabilized the government, I'm afraid the two of you will be the ones he wants to depose the most. Which sister does father plan to send to the palace this time?"

Bai Linan's eyes sank slightly, "Your fourth sister will be the Empress Zhaoyi in the future. We are all family. Your father will naturally help you to mediate with the new emperor."

Bai Chuxiao's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "The condition is to hand over the will in my hand, right?"

Bai Linan said in a deep voice, "You should know the seriousness of this matter."

Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "What benefits did the King of Qi promise to my father to make him help him like this?"

Bai Linan's eyes darkened, "Father is doing this for your own good. Take out the will and I will ensure that you return to your fiefdom safely."

Bai Chuxiao's lips curled up sarcastically, "If father really wanted to do this for my own good, he shouldn't have come here."

Bai Linan sighed slightly, "You are too stubborn, this is not a good thing."

Bai Chuxiao couldn't help but sneer. You really are playing the emotional card. It's a pity that the gentle daughter in your memory has long died in the cold lake.

"Father, please go back. Also, please tell the King of Qi that tomorrow is the last day. If this edict is announced, there may be no need to prepare for the coronation ceremony."

Bai Linan's face turned pale, "You are confused"

Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "By the way, I also want to congratulate my fourth sister. With the Empress Zhaoyi here, I believe that my father's position as the left prime minister will be unbreakable. Xia Fan, show the guests out!"

Xia Fan whispered, "Lord Zuo, please come in!"

Bai Linan glanced at Bai Chuxiao fiercely before walking away.

Yu Fengyang walked in leisurely, "Why does the King of Qi think that the Left Prime Minister can persuade you to take out the imperial edict?"

Bai Chuxiao sneered, "Why not give it a try, just in case it succeeds?"

Yu Fengyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Princess, should we go to the northwest or return to Yongzhou?"

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Go to the northwest."

I've been separated from Chu Tianze for so long, and I still miss him.

Inside the Yumen Pass Camp on the Northwest Border

Chu Tianze and the Murong family were discussing matters in the main account.

"Your Majesty, the 200,000 reinforcements from Western Vietnam are on their way, and we must seek help as soon as possible," Murong Yuan said calmly.

Chu Tianze tapped the table with one hand. This time, the Western Vietnamese army was determined to open the gate of Daxia. "Your Majesty is right."

Mo Yan walked in hurriedly, "Your Majesty, urgent news from the capital"

Chu Tianze's eyes sank, he immediately took it and started reading. This was the message sent by Bai Chuxiao when he left Yunzhou: the prince has been captured, Yun and Ying states have united, Prince An and Prince Qi are planning a rebellion, the capital will be in chaos, wait for me in the northwest!

Chu Tianze slammed the letter on the table fiercely, "Chu Wenzheng, Chu Tianling"

Murong Shen and others at the head all had a bad feeling, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Murong Yuan also took the letter and read it, then said in a deep voice to the people below him, "Prince An and Prince Qi have rebelled. According to the time when Xiao girl wrote the letter, the master of the capital may have changed by now."

Murong Xuan stood up suddenly and asked, "What, what should Xiao do if she is alone in the capital?"

Chu Tianze said in a deep voice, "Mo Yan, immediately send a message to Song Fei and Shen Tao to lead the Black Armor Army to retreat to Yongzhou, and also let Song Fei lead 150,000 Black Armor Army to the north through Jizhou."

Mo Yan responded without any hesitation and left.

Murong Shen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if we retreat to Yongzhou, what about the border?"

Chu Tianze sneered, "Chu Tianling has become very capable. He took advantage of our war with Xiyue to rebel. He wants to be the emperor. I will guard the border by myself. I'm sure the King of Xiang will thank me."

Murong Yuan lowered his eyes, "Your Majesty, these 150,000 troops are coming to the northwest."

Chu Tianze nodded, "Yes, if Chu Tianling came to power, he would not watch us lead so many armies, but I don't want Xiyue to set foot in Daxia, at least not from the northwest."

Xiyue is not Southern Xinjiang. If they come in, it will be difficult to drive them out.

Then he said in a deep voice, "But I have to take people back to Beijing immediately. Although Xiaoxiao has arranged 20,000 Feiyun Cavalry to pick them up in advance, it is not enough. Chu Tianling will not let Xiaoxiao and my mother leave Beijing easily."

Murong Yuan's eyes revealed admiration, and he said in a deep voice, "The northwest is bitterly cold, and the war will not start easily before the reinforcements from the King of Huainan arrive. Your Majesty, go with peace of mind and bring back Xiaoxiao and Concubine Jing safely."

Chu Tianze spoke slowly, "Thank you for your help at Yumen Pass."

Murong Che and the others all wanted to go back with us.

Chu Tianze shook his head and said, "I will just go back. It will be inconvenient if there are too many people. You guys guard Yumen Pass well."

In the imperial study room of the palace, Chu Tianling, Chu Wenzheng, Zhang Yuwei and Junyan were all gathered together. After listening to Bai Linan's message,

Wei Junyan frowned and said, "This will may not be true, and it may not be disadvantageous to us. Our incident happened suddenly, and Emperor Wenxuan should not be aware of it."

Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Emperor Wenxuan is decisive in killing. If he guessed that the poisoning was caused by us, he might have written an edict in advance."

Chu Wen Zheng smiled faintly and said, "I think this edict really exists. Princess Yan met Chu Wenxuan before me. It is possible that Chu Wenxuan left something behind. Besides, if she didn't really have any bargaining chips, how could Princess Yan stay in the capital so calmly?"

Chu Tianling's eyes were slightly cold. "One is the King of Yan and the other is the Murong family. If Bai Chuxiao and Jing Guiren are allowed to leave, what can we use to check and balance them?"

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment and said calmly, "They are most likely heading northwest when they leave Beijing. We still have a chance to catch them before they enter the northwest."

……

The next day, the King of Qi, who had not yet held the coronation ceremony, first summoned Prince An to the capital and granted him the title of Regent. He also summoned Yingzhou Governor Zhang Yu to the capital and granted him the title of Prince of Yingchuan. For a time, the whole court was shocked, and the major nobles in the capital were speculating.

In the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Bai Chuxiao paused when she heard the news, "Our new emperor is really impatient!"

Yu Fengyang smiled faintly and said, "The new emperor, the regent, the prince of Yingchuan, and the Duke of Zhenguo are all standing close together. Princess, our life is not easy."

Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Are you scared?"

Yu Fengyang touched his nose and said, "What is there for me to be afraid of? Even if the sky falls, you two will still hold it up."

Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "Thank you so much for thinking so highly of me. Why don't you guess who Chu Tianling will send to follow us out of Beijing to retrieve the will?"
