Chapter 357
The eldest princess paused with the beads in her hand, opened her eyes and looked at Bai Qing and said, "As for Li Mao, don't worry... with grandma here, you can go back to Shuoyang to deal with the clan affairs at ease."
The most important thing is that Princess Dachang concluded that Li Mao had no courage or ability for the time being, so she dared to attack the Bai family directly, caught the Bai family by surprise, and ended up killing the Bai family.
Li Mao is cautious by nature, and he will test first before making a move, but if Li Mao wants to test, he probably will not choose when Bai Qingyan is not around, after all...it is Bai Qingyan who is looking for Li Mao, not others.
"But this time, let Wei Zhong be by your side!" The eldest princess looked at Bai Qing solemnly, "Wei Zhong is a man from the palace, and with him by your side, the people of the clan will be afraid."
"Let Wei Zhong stay with grandma!" Bai Qingyan resolutely refused, "If Li Mao makes a move, grandma will only have Madam Jiang and Wei Zhong at her side. If Wei Zhong follows me back to Shuoyang , I don’t worry about most of them here.”
Seeing what the Eldest Princess wanted to say, Bai Qingyan said first: "Don't worry, grandma, you don't need to worry about dealing with the people of the Shuoyang clan! If the clan members are not willing to get rid of those... things that are completely inhumane and arrogant, If I don't want to change the patriarch, then I can only accuse my ancestors of leaving the clan! The Shuoyang Bai clan still needs to rely on Dadu Bai's family, so I won't refuse."
The eldest princess nodded: "Talk to your mother, get ready, go! It's not too late for this matter, you should leave today."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today. My granddaughter plans to go to the Prince's Mansion later and talk to the Prince." Bai Qingyan said quietly.
Now that the whole world thinks that Bai Qingyan belongs to the prince, why can't she take advantage of the prince's influence?
Before, the counselors around the prince sent people to publicize the fact that she burned and killed the prisoners. Wasn't it just to let the prince lend a helping hand to her when she was cast aside by thousands of people, so that... she would be so grateful that she would be loyal to the prince from now on?
Right now, she presents the opportunity to lend a helping hand to the prince, shows her trust in the prince, and does not hide her family ugliness. How can the prince not help her?
If she told the prince that the people of the clan accused her of having an affair with the prince, and took advantage of the prince's prestige to run amok and murder people in Shuoyang, she would use thunderous means to deal with the clan with great pain, and did not want to tarnish the prince's reputation. Would you suggest that the prince send someone to go with her, so as to take the opportunity to earn a good name for the prince among the Shuoyang people?
The reason why she chose to go on the 24th was to give the prince and the prince's staff enough time to discuss and verify.
Most importantly, Bai Qingyan still hoped that the prince would see the dirty appearance of the Bai family in Shuoyang, and let the prince tell the emperor to let the emperor know...Bai Qingyan would also find it difficult to return to Shuoyang. To get the wind, to get the rain, to let the prince and the emperor know what the Shuoyang Bai family has done these years, and how poor their reputation among the common people is.
In this way, when "bandit troubles" occur frequently and the court is exhausted, and Bai Qingyan begins to use the people as soldiers to train troops to suppress bandits, the emperor and the prince will think that Bai Qingyan is trying to restore the Bai family's reputation among the people of Shuoyang, and even Let the prince think... Bai Qingyan is trying to restore the prince's reputation.
Moreover, if the local officials in Shuoyang can see that the crown prince is so concerned about the private affairs of the Bai family, how can they oppose her in the future?
The eldest princess understood Bai Qingyan's meaning and nodded. If there are people arranged by the prince to follow, they can take advantage of the power of the prince, so Bai Qingyan's trip will be very smooth, but the eldest princess never expected that Bai Qingyan's eyes are already on training in the future.
After coming out of the Longevity Court of the Great Princess, Bai Qingyan took Lu Ping to the Prince's Mansion.

The crown prince was drinking tea with Elder Fang to discuss matters in the study. What Elder Fang meant was that the king of Liang was in charge of Yanwo disaster relief, and the prince should not let the king of Liang do it so smoothly.
If there is nothing wrong with Yanwo’s disaster relief and King Liang is allowed to handle it well, then the Crown Prince’s intention of recommending King Liang for disaster relief will be lost, and instead, King Liang will show his face... In the future, King Liang may have the opportunity to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince for the position heart of.
"Your Majesty is old after all. When you are old, you like to nostalgia... especially King Liang is His Majesty's son! In recent years, His Majesty has been raised by Concubine Tong under the knee of King Liang, and because King Liang is cowardly by nature, he is especially fond of King Liang. I don’t like it! But... what if King Liang manages the disaster relief work well?”
Fang Lao reminded the crown prince: "Your Highness, don't forget that last time, King Liang acted so boldly that he tried to frame Lord Zhen for treason on the pretext of having a relationship between men and women. It can be seen that King Liang...is by no means as cowardly and incompetent as he usually shows. .”
Hearing what Fang Lao said, the prince thumped in his heart and nodded.
That's right, buy Bai Qingyan's personal maid, and promise to use that maid as a concubine, so as to break through the government of the town.
If King Liang really only wanted to save King Xin, how could he have sold out the maidservant around Bai Qingyan so early on, and asked the maidservant to put the letter into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion under the pretext of wanting to marry Bai Qingyan.
It can be seen that King Liang is not without a city in his heart.
The prince squinted his eyes: "If Mr. Fang hadn't reminded me of this matter, Gu... would have ignored it."
"Your Highness, the Prince, has a lot of things to deal with every day, so we, the staff, must take care of His Highness for such trivial matters." Elder Fang slightly nodded at the Prince, "This matter is not difficult to deal with. The disaster in Yanwo involves several cities, so how difficult it is to completely recover from it. It's difficult, we just need to send people to do some tricks to trigger a civil uprising, and then... King Liang can't end it, and His Majesty will definitely be annoyed."
The prince lowered his eyes and rubbed the teacup in his hand, thinking carefully: "But if a civil uprising is triggered, Liang Wang can't take care of it, what if the father sends Gu to go? Can Gu take care of it?"
"Your Highness... If there is a civil uprising, it will be necessary to send strong troops to suppress it! Your Highness attaches great importance to the princess of the country, so are you afraid that no one will use it?" Fang Lao said with a smile.
The prince's eyebrows stretched, yes... If a civil uprising is triggered, then those disaster victims will become rioters, and the princess of the town will lead a strong army to suppress them. The name of killing gods is enough to deter those rioters, and no one would dare to make trouble again.
In this way, the credit for pacifying Yanwo's disaster is his.
"Your Highness, Princess Zhen Guo please see me." Quan Yu whispered outside the study door.
The crown prince raised his head, and his brows were filled with joy when he heard the words Princess Zhenguo: "I am talking about Princess Zhenguo, and the princess of Zhenguo is here! Please come in, Princess Zhenguo!"
Soon, Bai Qingyan followed Quan Yu to the study, and saluted the prince: "Yan, I have met His Royal Highness the prince."
She stood up and saw Elder Fang, who nodded slightly in greeting, and Elder Fang also nodded in return.
"Why is the princess here at this time? But something is wrong?" The prince smiled and pointed to Bai Qingyan's side, signaling Bai Qingyan to sit down.
Quan Yu personally brought hot tea up, served Bai Qingyan tea and left the study.
