But aside from the Crown Prince, whom else could he assist?

“Among the current Emperor’s sons, King Liang is sinister, King Xin is violent. Only the Crown Prince, although lacking significant talent, is relatively gentle. However, the Crown Prince resembles the current Emperor… highly suspicious by nature! Therefore, to assist the Crown Prince, the first step is to earn his trust! Just like Old Fang… the Crown Prince trusts Old Fang, so he listens to him in everything! The Crown Prince does not completely trust Mr. Qin, hence he always deliberates over Mr. Qin’s strategies.”

Bai Qingyan’s words struck Qin Shangzhi deeply, and mentioning this made Qin Shangzhi quite depressed.

“But the Crown Prince has been using and guarding against me from the start. To gain his trust, it’s necessary… through repeated misunderstandings and resolving those misunderstandings, to deepen the Crown Prince’s trust.” Seeing Qin Shangzhi frowning, Bai Qingyan smiled and said, “Mr. Qin is a gentleman and certainly disdains using such methods. But I am a woman, and… the Bai family is in a precarious situation now. If I want to protect the Bai family and fulfill my grandfather’s last wish, I have no other choice but to resort to such means. I hope you will understand.”

Qin Shangzhi knew well the Bai family’s situation. That the Bai family could be preserved to this day in Bai Qingyan’s hands was something he admired.

Qin Shangzhi remained silent for a while.

It was undeniable that if Bai Qingyan wished to assist the Crown Prince, she needed the Crown Prince’s trust more than he did because she was a member of the Bai family.

He suddenly recalled the words this woman had said, inviting him to join her in supporting the Jin Kingdom. Her aspirations were as grand as the late Duke of Zhen.

So be it… whether through schemes or tactics! She was doing it to assist the future Monarch of the Jin Kingdom. As long as it did not harm Jin’s interests, what was wrong with that?

Qin Shangzhi did not want to see Bai Qingyan, with her great talent, constantly obstructed by Old Fang when devising strategies for the Crown Prince.

If the future king of Jin could rely on Bai Qingyan, what a magnificent scene the Jin Kingdom would be.

He couldn’t help but envision a future where Bai Qingyan commanded the Jin Kingdom’s armies, while he advised on its internal affairs. By that time… the Jin Kingdom would undoubtedly have the strength to conquer the five states and unify the land.

When Bai Qingyan returned, Ji Langhua was rubbing her eyes, standing at her door with a medicine box, waiting to apply medicine to her. Seeing Bai Qingyan return, she quickly bowed and greeted, “Young General Bai…”

“It’s so late; you should rest first. Changing the dressing tomorrow would be fine as well.”

Toward this girl whom Bai Qingming had saved, Bai Qingyan always treated her a bit differently.

“Finish today’s task today! I can sleep peacefully only after I’ve changed your dressing.” Ji Langhua humbly and respectfully followed Bai Qingyan into the room, closed the door, washed her hands, and changed the dressing for her.

As soon as she finished binding the fine white cotton cloth around Bai Qingyan, she heard Bai Qingyan’s stomach growl softly.

Bai Qingyan had gone to see the Crown Prince immediately upon returning and hadn’t had a chance to eat. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

Ji Langhua washed her hands, took her medicine box, and left. Not even two cups of tea’s time passed before she knocked on Bai Qingyan’s door again.

Carrying a black lacquered tray with two bowls of noodles, she stood outside and bowed, “I borrowed the posthouse kitchen to make these two bowls of vegetarian noodle soup for Young General Bai and Miss Jinzhi.”
