Chapter 196

With his hands behind his back, the prince walked along the river and thought for a while before he stopped slowly.

Bai Qingyan, who was following the prince, also stopped, and the prince looked back at the guard who was some distance away from him and Bai Qingyan, and said, "Before I came to southern Xinjiang, my father gave me a secret order. , Miss Bai will not have to go back to the capital after the war in southern border, do you understand what this means?"

"Do you want my life?"

Bai Qingyan spoke very frankly, but it made the prince feel guilty, his hands behind his back tightened tightly, and he didn't know if the idea Mr. Fang and the others came up with was useful or not.

"But Gu wants to protect you!" said the prince.

The rushing water of the Jing River was so loud that it almost drowned out the Prince's voice.

But Bai Qingyan clasped his fists and said to the prince: "The prince is kind to me, I can't make it difficult for the prince! But if the king wants the minister to die, the minister will have to die, but I ask the prince to save my life until the war is completely settled! Even if it is Even dying on the battlefield is worthy of the name of my Bai family."

Hearing the word "en", the prince's ears moved, and he couldn't help thinking of the loyalty of the Bai family for the country and the people. He shook his head: "Although I am not talented, I know that there is really no one in Jin who is better than Miss Bai." An even better general! Miss Bai can't die, Gu will keep you safe even if she dies."

The crown prince's words are three parts true and seven parts false... The feelings are quite measured, and others may believe them.

But when she thought about how her grandfather was deceived by the emperor, and put all his loyalty in the hands of the current emperor, but in exchange for the fate of a son who died in southern Xinjiang, she felt chills in her heart.

How similar the present prince is to His Majesty back then!

Bai Qingyan couldn't look like tears welled up in her eyes, so she knelt down on one knee and cupped her fists and asked the prince, "But how can I embarrass Your Highness?"

The crown prince helped Bai Qingyanxu up: "No matter how difficult it is, Gu will definitely protect Miss Bai, not for anything else... just for the people of the Jin border! Miss Bai is willing to follow Gu?"

"Your Highness..." Bai Qingyan pursed her lips and said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is your Highness's ambition in this life?"

The prince's palms tightened, remembering what Qin Shangzhi said before...

Qin Shangzhi said that the eldest girl of the Bai family has inherited the style of the Bai family completely. The six words of living for the people and dying for the country are the family mission of the Bai family. If the prince wants to use Bai Qingyan for his own use, then Bai Qingyan needs to see his ambition!

Qin Shangzhi also reminded His Highness the Crown Prince not to forget that in the sacrificial oration that Bai Qing said at the funeral of the Bai family, the words of Bai Weiting, the king of the town, were unswerving. Die to rest.

The crown prince recited these words silently in his heart, looked into Bai Qingyan's clear and calm eyes, and said, "My lonely ambition, may all people live in a peaceful and prosperous age."

She looked at the prince silently, wondering if the emperor was as sincere and unreserved as the prince today was when he said those words to his grandfather?

"Your Highness, do you know why my grandfather brought all the men from the Bai family to the southern border battlefield?"

Unexpectedly, Bai Qingyan did not express his loyalty to him, but said something irrelevant. The crown prince was astonished and didn't turn his head, so he answered, "I don't know..."

"At the beginning, Your Majesty told my grandfather that his ambition was in the world. Since my grandfather was loyal to His Majesty and was His Majesty's minister, he naturally had to make plans for His Majesty's ambition. If His Majesty wants this world, then... the state of Jin must be able to fight well A fierce general! The other princes are unwilling to let their heirs go to the battlefield! The grandfather asked all the men of the Bai family to come out to practice, thinking that His Majesty will prepare for the war against the nations in the future!"

The crown prince's heart was shaken, he really did not expect that...Bai Weiting brought all the men from the Bai family to the battlefield, what he did was this plan!

"So today, since Bai Qingyan wants to be loyal to His Majesty, he needs to ask His Majesty's aspirations clearly. Please His Majesty tell me the truth, otherwise...if it is like my grandfather and His Majesty, my grandfather does not know what His Majesty thinks... just one If you put your head down and work hard, your majesty will not like it, and you will doubt your ministers."

The prince looked at Bai Qingyan earnestly. Bai Qingyan's words were very bold. If she didn't really want to serve him, such boldness would be equivalent to reprimanding His Majesty today. How dare she say it? !

Since ancient times, whenever a talented person chooses a master, they are afraid that they will end up like Bai Weiting in the future!

Bai Qing said that he had no chance of heirs, if he would serve him... If he never married in this life, he would definitely be loyal.

Elder Fang also suggested that the prince should accept Bai Qingyan as a side concubine into the mansion, but although Bai Qingyan was beautiful, when the prince saw the upright Bai Qingyan, he felt that she was sacred and inviolable, and he couldn't feel close to her. After thinking about it for a long time, I still gave up this thought.

At this time, the prince was beating his heart, whether he should tell Bai Qingyan truthfully that he only wanted to keep the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty, or, as Qin Shangzhi said...show his "ambition" to Bai Qingyan.

The prince didn't answer in a hurry, Bai Qingyan listened quietly to the sound of the Jing River, and stood there motionless.

After a long while, the crown prince finally raised his eyes and said to Bai Qing: "Royal Father...you doubt the king of the town, but I will never doubt General Bai! It has been a good story since ancient times, and I hope that after a hundred years, the historian will record... General Bai can also make a good story about a monarch and his ministers."

General Bai?

The prince changed his title...just to tell her that he didn't see her as a girl, but as a courtier who could rely heavily on him and make a good story about the emperor and his ministers.

After a long while, Bai Qingyan knelt down solemnly to the prince, and kowtowed: "Bai Qingyan is willing to be the prince's ambition, and he will not back down even if he is a sword and a sea of ​​fire."

In this way, Bai Qingyan has officially joined the prince's family.

The prince was very excited, he bent down and helped Bai Qingyan up again: "However, to achieve peace in the world, don't rush it, you need to plan it slowly, and stabilize the Great Jin first!"

Bai Qingyan didn't really believe that the prince's ambition is in the world.

Today's trip with Crown Prince Jinghe was just a play that the prince played for her, and she acted for the prince again.

The prince's plan is only to defend the current hegemony of the Jin Dynasty, and the way is different and does not conspire with each other, but it can be used for the time being.

Thinking of this, she suddenly froze...

When the emperor said those words to his grandfather, did he also have the intention of using her in this way?

After going through so much, she has changed after all. She has failed her grandfather's teachings and the Bai family's ancestral precepts, and has become a villain through and through!

However, she has no regrets.

The road ahead is rough, as long as she can preserve the Bai family, preserve the Bai family army, and fulfill the ambitions of several generations of the Bai family, she will be an upright villain.

Seeing that Bai Qingyan did not answer for a long time, the prince clenched his hands tightly and asked: "General Bai thinks what Gu said is inappropriate?"
