When he said this, Bai Jiuxiao's tone was so cold that even Tongquan's heart trembled.

Ning Shiqian narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips lightly.

Putting the badge into his sleeve, Bai Jiuxiao asked Tongquan: "I asked Deputy Lu to go to the military camp for final confirmation, have you gone?"

"Go back to my lord, I have gone, but I haven't come back yet."

"Well," Bai Jiuxiao nodded, "I probably won't be returning tonight. After all, there are a hundred thousand troops and there are many details that need to be confirmed."

Finally, he told Tongquan: "You also go down and prepare. This time, you will come with me."

Tongquan was overjoyed and couldn't believe it: "Will my subordinates also go on the expedition with the prince?"

Normally, I just take care of Lu Chengxi and let him stay in the house to take care of me.

"Well, weren't you and Deputy Envoy Lu imprisoned in the sky prison this time? I asked you to go with us to get it back. After all, you have to avenge yourself to be happy, don't you think?"

Bai Jiuxiao's voice was calm, as if he was talking about today's weather.

Ning Shiqian's eyes narrowed a little more.

Tongquan was naturally very excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will go and prepare now. I will retire."

"Let's go." Bai Jiuxiao glanced back at Ning Shiqian, then continued to lead the way.

The servants in the study have already set up lamps and the lights are brightly lit.

After entering the study, Bai Jiuxiao walked to the desk, lifted her robe and sat down. She pointed to the soft chair beside her and motioned to Ning Shiqian: "Sit down."

Ning Shiqian didn't sit down, but stood tall and tall in the middle of the study, in front of Bai Jiuxiao's desk.

Seeing him like this, Bai Jiuxiao didn't force him and asked him: "What do you want from me?"

Ning Shiqian cupped his fists and bowed to her.

"My lord, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I came here to make trouble because I want to ask for a favor for someone."

"Oh?" Bai Jiuxiao seemed a little surprised, "Who?"

Ning Shiqian looked at her. She was sitting behind the candlelight, and the orange candlelight enveloped her face, making her face difficult to see clearly.

"Fourth Prince Sang Lin." Ning Shiqian opened his lips and said.

Bai Jiuxiao's hand that was about to take the cup on the table paused and raised his eyes: "Who?"

"The Fourth Prince of Sang Lin, Ning Shiqian."

Bai Jiuxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she leaned back on the chair, folded her arms across her chest, and looked at him deeply.

"Do you want me to spare him?"

"No, I want the prince not to send troops."

Bai Jiuxiao lowered his eyes and curled his lips.

That doesn't even mean the same thing.

Xue Gui said that Emperor Sang Lin would punish her for sending troops to attack, and it would most likely be a death sentence, and that her sending troops to attack was caused by his waist card.

"Why do you plead for him? What's your relationship?" Bai Jiuxiao asked.

"He" Ning Shiqian's eyes flashed slightly, "he is my best friend."

Bai Jiuxiao's lips curved into a cold arc.

He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all: "It's more about love and justice."

After he finished speaking, his smile disappeared and he changed the topic: "But, do you know that this king and him are mortal enemies? This time, I almost died at his hands, and you saw it."

"It's not him." Ning Shiqian said.

Bai Jiuxiao didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"He did not know about Concubine Xi's plan in advance, nor did he participate in it."

"Oh?" Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Of course, most of them don't believe it.

"As for that waist badge, it's a long story." Ning Shiqian sighed, not knowing where to start.

Bai Jiuxiao looked at him, waiting for his "long story".

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he asked: "You mean, someone else took his badge and put it there to frame him?"

"No, he did go to the cave in Changle Mountain. He went there afterwards and wanted to find some evidence. However, something unexpected happened in the cave, and then, his waistband accidentally fell into the cave. Got there."

Bai Jiuxiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

He remained silent, thinking about his words.

In the cave, the two of them were so crazy that it was indeed possible for them to lose their cards.

"Why should I believe you?" Bai Jiuxiao asked.

Ning Shiqian was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Just because I risked my life to block the knife for the prince, I will definitely not bully the prince."

Is it?

Bai Jiuxiao curved her lips.

A fourth prince, Sang Lin, blocked Sang Lin's carefully crafted knife. How could she trust him?

"How do you know so clearly about him?" Bai Jiuxiao looked into his eyes.

Ning Shiqian's eyes flashed slightly: "He is my best friend."

"So, he asked you to come to this king?"

"No, it's my own intention."

Bai Jiuxiao smiled, a little coldly and ruthlessly: "Do you think this king will sell you a favor?"

Ning Shiqian pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.

"No, I'm not sure, but I still want to give it a try."

Bai Jiuxiao said nothing, lowered his eyebrows, and began to take out the items from his sleeve pockets one by one and put them on the desk.

The banknote, the dagger, and the waistband Tongquan gave her just now.

There is another painting.

She unfolded it and waved him over.

Ning Shiqian didn't know what he meant, so he stepped forward.

Bai Jiuxiao slapped the painting on the table, held it and turned his wrist until he saw it facing upright, and asked him: "He, your best friend?"

Ning Shiqian didn't know the extremely ugly man in the painting, but he was such a smart person. When she asked this, he roughly guessed who it was.

But he didn't dare to admit it and kept silent.

"This is Ning Qingzhou's painting of his fourth brother." Bai Jiuxiao said, raising his eyes to look at him closely.

Ning Shiqian narrowed his eyes, the style of painting indeed looked like it was painted by Shi Yi.

He opened his lips and was about to answer when he heard Bai Jiuxiao say again: "It seems that Ning Qingzhou played a trick on me. I thought he was a little kid who was innocent and would not lie to others. I didn't expect it."

"It's him!" Ning Shiqian's breath tightened and he immediately interrupted her: "It's the Fourth Prince."

It was as if he was afraid that if he spoke too late, Bai Jiuxiao would kill Ning Qingzhou.

Bai Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded.

He took the painting back and said: "It is said that appearance comes from the heart. One look at this person's face and he is not a good person. Not only will I not let him go, I also advise you to stay away from him. You have to worry about him now." Stick a knife, he may stab you in both sides at any time."

Ning Shiqian: "."

Bai Jiuxiao stood up and ordered him: "Add more to my king's tea."

After giving the instructions, he turned around and walked to the bookshelf at the back, not knowing what book he was looking for on it.

Ning Shiqian picked up the teapot on the desk and poured water into her cup.

Her eyes glanced at the dagger she had just taken out of her sleeve pocket and his badge on the table.

Right at his fingertips.

Bai Jiuxiao looked for a while with her back to him, then pulled out a book from the bookshelf, turned around, walked back to the desk and sat down.

Her eyes fell on the cup, she reached out to pick it up, brought it to her lips and took a sip.

"Ning Si." She called him.

Ning Shiqian looked at her.

She put down the cup in her hand.

"Even if this matter has nothing to do with your best friend and he was not involved, he is still the one who framed me and wanted to kill me. Therefore, I still have to send troops and teach them how to behave. Otherwise, something like this will happen again next time."
