Rebirth of a Lost Nation: Princess, Please Respect Yourself

Even though Ning Yunxiao's tone was the same, Jiang Lige did not miss the gentleness that flashed across Ning Yunxiao's eyes.

From this we can see that Concubine Xian treats Ning Yunxiao very well indeed, and the relationship between them must be good.

"Then when do we set off?" Jiang Lige asked.

"We need to wait a few more days. After all, we must have a reason to leave the capital."

Jiang Lige was a little worried, "What about Feng Yu..."

Wen Ziang was drinking tea when he felt two pairs of eyes looking at him. He quickly swallowed the tea and made amends: "Don't worry, Feng Yu is in my prison in the Ministry of Justice. I will ensure his life before you return to the capital."

"Thank you."

After the three of them had agreed on this, they said goodbye and left the teahouse.

While walking on the road, Ning Yunxiao thought about it and reminded Jiang Lige again.

"Bai Jinyuan is inextricably linked to this matter. Princess, please be careful in the palace."

Jiang Lige understood Ning Yunxiao's good intentions and thanked him before he belatedly noticed the official uniform Ning Yunxiao was wearing.

"The prince took office today?"

"Yes."

"Where does the official come from?"

"Five Cities Military Command."

In one sentence, the answer was straightforward, which showed that Ning Yunxiao was not surprised at all by the result.

"The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly." Jiang Lige smiled and said sincerely, "Congratulations, Prince."

The sun slowly set, and Ning Yunxiao saw that at this moment Jiang Lige's eyes were filled with bright spots of light, which made his heart flutter and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"Thank you princess."

It was Ning Yunxiao's first day in office and he had a lot of things to do. After sending Jiang Lige to the carriage, he left in a hurry.

"Princess! The Crown Prince can't be in the Wucheng Bingmasi!" As soon as Ning Yunxiao left, Song Yue couldn't sit still. "Wucheng Bingmasi, that's the Wang family's territory!"

"I only know that the Five Cities Military Commission is under the Ministry of War, which is one of the six ministries of Shengling. It is directly under the Emperor's jurisdiction and is the government office responsible for protecting the people of Shengling."

"Princess!" Song Yue was anxious. "After all, the boss of the Five Cities Military Command is surnamed Wang, and he's from Princess Zhao's family. Besides, Lord Wang was demoted last time because of the Crown Prince. I'm afraid they all want to tear a piece of flesh off the Crown Prince!"

Jiang Lige chuckled when he heard this, "Yeah, that's what everyone in the world should think."

Song Yue was stunned by Jiang Lige's smile. She frowned for a long time, not understanding, "Princess, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the Crown Prince may not be unwilling to join the Five Cities Military Department."

"Huh?" Song Yue was completely confused. "Isn't this just asking for your head to be chopped off?"

Hearing this analogy, Jiang Lige couldn't help but laugh, "If the prince heard this, I wouldn't save you!"

"Princess~"

Jiang Lige was so annoyed by Song Yue that he lost his temper and analyzed the matter with Song Yue in a low voice.

"The Crown Prince has been hiding his abilities for years. Now, if he wants to make a splash, he needs a sharpening stone. And the Five Cities Military Command, the backer of the Wang family, is the best choice.

Because everyone in the world knows that the prince will not get any good results in the Five Cities Military Department, so as long as he can make achievements in the Five Cities Military Department, no one can deny him.

Besides, people can only fight with all their might when facing their enemies. If it were in another place, I’m afraid the prince wouldn’t be able to display his full strength.”

It seems that Emperor Shengwu had figured out the key points early on, so he issued the imperial edict so readily. It's ridiculous that the Hanlin Academy and the Wang family are still complacent, completely unaware that the situation has already reversed.

For Emperor Shengwu, the Five Cities Military Command is the best whetstone for tempering Ning Yunxiao; and for Ning Yunxiao, it is a stepping stone for his rapid rise to prominence.

Therefore, people as brainless as Wang should not get involved in other people's fights. They may just be handing a knife to others without realizing it.

Sad, deplorable!

After Jiang Lige's explanation, Song Yue pondered for a moment and finally understood. He praised repeatedly, "Your Highness, this strategy of turning the tables is truly brilliant!"

Jiang Lige smiled proudly, "Then you must make good use of it and tell your good sisters about it."

"no problem."

Songyue rubbed his hands together, eager to try, and then said angrily.

"By the way, I have to have a good talk with them about that shameless little bitch Bai Jinyuan!

Yesterday, her eyes were glued to the prince. She knew that he was already engaged and you were right in front of him, yet she was still so shameless!

"You're a lady from a wealthy family, bah! She's a bitch, and besides seducing men, there's nothing else in her head!"

"We were careless yesterday. Bai Jinyuan..." Jiang Lige just smiled when he heard this, "She's not a simple person. Bai Fenglin's death must have been Bai Jinyuan's doing."

"But how did Bai Jinyuan accomplish this right under our noses?"

"I don't know either," Jiang Lige answered truthfully. "A rich lady who grew up learning women's rings wouldn't show her emotions so openly, even if she really liked someone. She acted like that yesterday just to provoke me. Because only when I focused all my attention on her and the prince did she have the opportunity to complete this murder right under our noses."

Songyue had a unique point of view and nodded seriously.

"Bai Jinyuan is such a vicious little bitch! Knowing that the princess likes the prince, she deliberately uses the prince to disturb the princess's mind. It's simply..."

"What nonsense!"

Jiang Lige blushed at the word "like" and explained hurriedly as if his thoughts were exposed.

"The prince is my fiancé after all, so I naturally can't stand those little goblins coveting him!"

"It's rare to see the princess being so shy." Song Yue covered her lips and laughed secretly, "If this isn't love, then it would be strange!"

Jiang Lige glared at Song Yue fiercely, "I think our Song Yue is old enough to be married. All she thinks about every day is this!"

"I was just joking!"

Song Yue immediately sat up straight and changed the subject: "Bai Jinyuan has done so many evil things, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"There's no evidence, so what else can we do?" Jiang Lige shrugged. "Once it involves court affairs, everything must be based on solid evidence. If we can't produce evidence, we'll have to admit defeat."

"Wouldn't that be a waste for Bai Jinyuan?!"

"No way. If you dare to mess with me, there's no way you'll get away with it."

"Ah? What should we do?"

"Didn't I tell you already? If it involves the court, there must be real evidence. What if it doesn't involve it?"

Jiang Lige smiled playfully, waved at Song Yue like a cunning little fox, and then whispered his plan into her ear.

Song Yue widened her eyes when she heard this, and then slowly gave Jiang Lige a thumbs up.

"Princess, it's high!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Jiang Lige smiled slyly, "Bai Jinyuan, take it."
