Ji Fuyin didn't speak, she just looked at the person in front of her quietly. She still had the same sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a gentle and elegant temperament, a white jade crown inlaid with gold in her hair, and a long sword in her hand.

Gu Hanqian's appearance was never suitable for holding a sword. The folding fan that the elegant and handsome young man often held in his hand was more suitable for him.

But at this moment, Ji Fuyin suddenly felt that holding the long sword that represented attack and killing in his hand did not seem so inconsistent.

She smiled, her eyes like a lake, calm and waveless, "Be decisive and make decisions without hesitation for a moment. This is something you have never been able to do before."

Gu Hanqian looked at her with a smile, "Are you saying that I have changed? Or that you prefer the old me?"

"I don't like you more or not." Ji Fuyin shook her head gently, "You have grown up, at least - you are like a prince."

In the past, Gu Hanqian was too kind. As a monarch, it is good to have kindness in his heart, but if this charity occupies too big a position and makes him unable to do even the most basic decisive killing, then at best he will be

To be called a woman's benevolent would only become a stumbling block on his road to becoming an emperor.

Ever since he had no choice but to return to the position of prince, she had hoped that one day he could weaken the kindness in his heart and gradually master the most basic things that an emperor should have. But when she really saw his

Change, but suddenly a trace of unspeakable melancholy arose in my heart...

Melancholy? She smiled lightly in her heart. She thought she would live a new life and put all these unnecessary emotions aside long ago. Unexpectedly...

His deep eyes flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on Gu Hanqian's lips, as if he could see through her thoughts at a glance. He raised the sword in his hand, and spoke low words from his mouth, "Fuyin, are you here?"

Are you afraid that one day, my decisiveness will be aimed at you?"

"Don't worry, my sword may be pointed at anyone, but it will never be pointed at you." His voice still sounded so gentle, and his pair of dark eyes were like the two most translucent pieces of ink in the world.

Jade, "You don't know who I am now to protect."

Now that he has come to this point step by step, he must force himself to become stronger. In addition to being stronger in ability, he must also be more ruthless and courageous in mentality. Only in this way can he be able to put aside all the undesirable things for her.

All the dirty things that appeared in front of her eyes were blocked.

He has never been infatuated with this throne, but now he sincerely wants to get the supreme right. From the moment he met her, she was a girl who seemed to be more indifferent than anyone else, but only by experiencing it with her

Afterwards, he understood why she had never truly smiled happily and relievedly.

Become an emperor, control the most supreme power in the world, and firmly protect her under his wings. By then, she will no longer have to worry about every step and struggle like now.

Ji Fuyin felt a little apologetic. She had never doubted Gu Hanqian's intentions, but she had experienced too much and her suspicion had become an integral part of her character.

"You misunderstood. These two people went to Qionghua Pavilion under your order. There are so many eyes in the palace watching this matter. Even if they made a mistake, I have to give it to you."

Come back." Ji Fuyin changed the topic and changed the topic without leaving any trace.

"I really want to punish the two of them myself, but if I really do this, others will inevitably spread gossip and say that I am so proud of my favor that even the prince dares to insult them at will.

If the news about the person who dealt with you reaches the ears of the emperor and the queen mother, I will be implicated to some extent."

Ji Fuyin smiled at him, "What's more, even if they are sent back to you, it will be the same. I know you won't take it lightly, and you will definitely say this for me, but you just have to escort them a few more steps.

, I won’t be tired or anything.”

Gu Hanqian seemed to be relieved this time, "Then my method of dealing with them, did it relieve your anger?"

"That's natural. If you want to throw dirty things into the Royal Forest Garden, except for you, the Crown Prince, there are really not many people who can do it." Ji Fuyin expressed sincere emotion.

The Royal Forest Garden is a place where rare animals are raised specifically for the emperor. Although there are dedicated people responsible for feeding them, the wild nature of some of the beasts has not yet degenerated. Two of them had their limbs chopped off and were covered in blood, but they were still alive.

If you are thrown in, you can imagine what will happen.

Eunuch Duo's face, covered in cold sweat, suddenly changed, "I beg His Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life. I am willing to tell you who instigated me to do this. I only ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life!"

Ji Fuyin raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her eyes turned to Gu Hanqian silently.

Gu Hanqian smiled coldly, but there was not even a hint of smile in his eyes, "Who is the person who instigated you to do this? You don't need to tell me, I will find out naturally through investigation. If you are so sincere, you will not be easily

It was bribed."

After saying that, Gu Hanqian waved his sleeves, and the people on the side immediately came up and dragged the two people down. Duo Gonggong used all his strength and shouted desperately: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I still know

Others——The Third Highness, the Third Highness is coming back——!”

Gu Hanqian's eyes changed slightly, causing those people to stop. A pair of glass-like eyes stared deeply at the father-in-law who was shaking into a ball, "What else do you know, tell me everything.

"

"I heard that the Third Highness is coming back this time, but he is here for the throne! Now the Third Highness is on his way. In ten days and a half, he should return to the palace!"

Gu Hanqian's expression remained unchanged, "Besides these, what else do you know?"

"My slave still knows, I still know..." Eunuch Duo knew that this was a good opportunity to exchange information for his life. His eyes moved in panic, almost bursting out of their sockets, but that was all he knew.

It seemed that there was no other value to be extracted. Gu Hanqian slightly lowered his head and glanced at the servants. They immediately came forward again, grabbed the two howling father-in-laws, and dragged them down with large strides.

The third highness Duo Gonggong mentioned was named Zhao Guangzheng, who was born to Concubine Rong of the current dynasty. His life experience was slightly different from that of other princes in Daye.

Concubine Rong is not a woman of a great cause, but the fourth princess of the Tongxuan Kingdom, which is close to the great cause. Everyone in Tongxuan Kingdom is brave and good at fighting, and the people are strong, but the land is really barren. Even though the whole country is full of people who are good at conquering and fighting, once there is a natural disaster

, the harvest is not guaranteed, so we can only rely on the assistance of neighboring countries.

The reason why Concubine Rong became Daye's concubine was because in those years, Tongxuan suffered constant natural disasters, and Emperor Tongxuan had no choice but to sacrifice the only fourth daughter of the queen to marry the resource-rich Daye as a show of goodwill, in order to obtain

Kind treatment from Daye.

It's just that the appearance of people from Tongxuan Kingdom is far different from that of the great cause, and the princes with foreign blood are very unlikely to inherit the great power in the future. The third prince has accepted this fact since he was a child, and has been stationed abroad with troops since he became an adult.

, although he is a prince, what he does is like a general.

But... Ji Fuyin had some confusion on her face, "Why did His Highness the Third suddenly come back?"

"Of course someone tipped him off." The expression on Gu Hanqian's face was calm, but a thin shadow could not help but appear between his eyebrows, "Zhaoming has started to stir up war on the border."

Ji Fuyin was startled for a moment, and then her eyes widened in disbelief. The third prince came back this time to seize the throne!

"The person who sent him the message is... Concubine Rong?" Ji Fuyin spoke as if she was guessing, but she was already eighty-nine percent certain in her heart.

Sure enough, Gu Hanqian nodded, with a gloomy look on his face. The relationship between Daye and Zhaoming was about to break out. Daye's current national power simply couldn't compete with Zhaoming. Zhao Guangzheng, who had been shunned behind the scenes because he was mixed with foreign blood, now

But this is the perfect time for him to make a comeback.

It is simply impossible for Daye to go head-to-head with Zhaoming, but Zhaoming's battle seems inevitable, and the only solution is to find ways to find reinforcements.

I think back then, Concubine Rong was regarded as the apple of the eye by the emperor, empress and all her brothers in Tongxuan. If it were not for the helplessness, Tongxuan would not bear the pain and give up the four princesses for marriage. With Concubine Rong's

With such high-level connections, it would be easy for the third prince Zhao Guangzheng to ask for reinforcements from Tongxuan...

These three highnesses have been treated as invisible persons for so many years in the palace of Daye. They seem to be silent, but who can really be sure that in their hearts, they really have no regard for the golden dragon chair.

What about a hint of longing?

Ji Fuyin also took a breath of air in her heart. These three princes have been stationed outside for so many years. Although they don't have many troops, they have been together for so many years. If they were serious, he would have completely conquered the hearts of those soldiers.

Bought...

A hundred thousand troops may not be as good as thirty thousand loyal soldiers. What's more, Zhao Guangzheng has inherited his mother's talent for war. If Zhaoming really goes to war this time, he will lead the troops to repel it.

Zhaoming's attack has kept Daye's territory intact. The first step in returning may be to force the emperor back from his throne...

"It would be okay if Brother Three Emperors just wants to come back and serve the country. If he..." Gu Hanqian said, his eyebrows knitted together. He had only heard of this Brother Three Emperors, who is his half-brother.
