Chapter 243: Chapter 241: Offer a Chart to Surrender_1

“Actually, Mr. Xiao counts as a notable figure. He is as brilliant and honest as a clear moonlit night. I had already befriended Mr. Xiao when I was still a prince. Although he is a merchant, he lacks the petty air of one and carries the elegant demeanor of a scholar! The Bai family is without male heirs now. If Mr. Xiao truly has feelings for General Bai and is willing to marry into the family… aside from his lower status, I actually think he would be a good match!” The Crown Prince spoke softly.

If Xiao Rongyan could marry into the Bai family because of Bai Qingyan, it might not be a bad thing for him.

That way, he would not worry about Bai Qingyan marrying outside. Xiao Rongyan, who was close to him and an exceptional scholar, would stay in the Jin Kingdom, becoming the kingdom’s wealthiest merchant.

The Crown Prince thought of Xiao Rongyan’s extravagant spending in Dadu City and squinted slightly.

The Bai family was already attached to him. If Xiao Rongyan married into the Bai family, he would also wish him an easy ascent to the supreme throne. Seeking meritorious deeds for following him would undoubtedly become his treasure trove, and it would be much easier for him to handle matters.

Bai Qingyan frowned, seeming to say the most unspeakable thing to the Crown Prince, unable to maintain her facade: “Your Highness, no matter how good Mr. Xiao is, he is not meant for me. After all… it is difficult for me to have children.”

“Fate is unpredictable.” The Crown Prince did not give up his calculations and smiled at Bai Qingyan before turning to Xiao Ruojiang, “Be more careful in your actions in the future. This matter happened to fall into my hands. If it had reached the Emperor’s ears, you should know… it would cause big trouble for your eldest miss.”

Xiao Ruojiang hurriedly bowed: “Your Highness, I accept your lesson. I will certainly follow your guidance in the future, be cautious in everything, and not cause trouble for the eldest miss!”

“Go!” The Crown Prince said to Xiao Ruojiang.

Xiao Ruojiang quickly bowed and withdrew.

The Crown Prince looked at Bai Qingyan standing to the side: “This time, it is not that I don’t trust you…”

“I understand. If Your Highness didn’t consider me as family, how would you call me and my foster brother over, and how could you scold my foster brother for my sake? Your Highness’s kindness… I understand it clearly!” Bai Qingyan said.

The Crown Prince nodded, his eyes full of smiles: “General Bai, you should also rest. Tomorrow, you have to take King Yan of Xiliang, Li Zhijie, and the Princess of Xiliang back to Dadu. You need to stay alert on this journey and not give the scheming Xiliang any opportunity.”

“Yes!”

Bai Qingyan exited the big tent, bid farewell to the elder, and turned to see Bai Jinzhi and Xiao Ruojiang still waiting at the entrance.

On the way back to the camp, Xiao Ruojiang lowered his voice: “Eldest Miss, this time you used Mr. Xiao as a shield. Considering the relationship between Mr. Xiao and the Crown Prince, I am afraid…”

“Don’t worry, Xiao Rongyan won’t say anything.”

Xiao Rongyan had sent people to deliver horses and letters without hiding his movements, clearly unafraid of the Crown Prince knowing.

Xiao Rongyan understood her wariness towards the Jin Imperial Family. She also understood Xiao Rongyan’s unique status. Both knew each other’s secrets, so naturally, they would cover for each other.

In the capital of Nanyan, Kuangping.

Murong Pei’s hands trembled as he held the Jade Seal and kneeled at the palace gate with the Nanyan Imperial Family and courtiers, raising the Jade Seal above his head. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
