Qi Huan put down his gun, held Bai Lanshi's hand comfortingly and said, "It's okay, brother, don't worry, I'm still here."

"Qi Huan, I want you to promise me one thing." Bai Lanshi held Qi Huan's hand behind his back and said.

"Brother Huan'er will agree to everything." Qi Huan said with a smile.

Bai Lanshi pursed his lips, and it took him a while to speak, "If you win the throne, don't hurt Qi Jing, and send him to the frontier, okay?"

Qi Huan's smile froze, and finally disappeared. The first time he withdrew his hand, his voice was a little indifferent, "Brother wants me to protect Qi Jing, if Qi Jing becomes the emperor, brother." Qi Huan smiled a little pale, "You How do you think Qi Jing will treat me?"

"I will take you away, take you back to the Xuanji Pavilion, and do my best not to let anyone hurt you." Bai Lanshi said, seeing Qi Huan's injured expression, he felt uncomfortable, but there was more to say. Gotta say.

Qi Jing is not Qi Jingrui, and it would not be a pity that Qi Jingrui had colluded with foreign enemies to kill him, but Qi Jing has been guarding the frontier for many years, and the people in the border area respect him quite a lot. If Qi Huan killed him, the people would definitely be dissatisfied. He will be recorded as a crime of mutilating siblings, and he will be cast aside through the ages, and Bai Lanshi will not allow this to happen.

Qi Huan is so good, how could he have the heart to let him bear the infamy, he will die of heartache.

"Don't worry, brother, I won't touch Qi Jing." Qi Huan returned to his usual laughing expression, but the absurdity couldn't reach his eyes after all.

Some things are bound to hurt when spoken out, but if you don't say it, it's just a stalk in your heart, and the chest tightness of the choking person.

At night, Qi Huan asked for it, and Bai Lanshi obeyed, but Qi Huan didn't look happy, and left many marks on Bai Lanshi's body very rudely.

Holding Bai Lanshi tightly, the already dizzy person was even more dizzy.

Asked again and again, until Bai Lanshi didn't even have the strength to move his fingers, Qi Huan backed out. Holding him in his arms, the sound of sighs hovered over the top of the Bailan stone, but he was too tired and sleepy, he didn't have the strength to ask Qi Huan what he was thinking, what was worrying him, so he fell into a deep sleep.

After that night, neither of them mentioned this matter again, but Qi Huan went out more times, and often he didn't see anyone in the afternoon, Bai Lanshi stayed in the room to read and write besides walking around the yard.

As time passed, autumn came, and the leaves began to turn yellow, and some of the weak ones fell bald early. His Majesty announced that the autumn festival will be held normally this morning, and the government and the opposition are busy.

What surprised Bai Lanshi was that His Majesty asked Bai Lanshi to go with him. Qi Huan once wanted to meet His Majesty and asked His Majesty to take back the order to accompany Bai Lanshi. Bai Lanshi's body should not be overworked, but His Majesty would No, I am determined to see Bai Lanshi.

Everyone in the Changqing House was a little anxious, not to mention the young master's body, the swords and swords in the hunting ground, those who are determined can easily succeed, and they may not be found in the woods.

Rong Le's anxious eyes were red, and Bai Lanshi comforted him, "Since His Majesty ordered me to go, there will be no accidents for me, after all, the Xuanji Pavilion is behind me."

Wu Qianqian frowned and said, "Rong Le and I will accompany the senior brother to protect the senior brother in case of accidents."

Bai Lanshi had no objection. After all, Rong Le and Wu Qianqian's martial arts were beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they would be at ease with them.

"Qiu Xi sent Aunt Hong back to Xuanji Pavilion before, the sooner the better." Bai Lanshi instructed.

Wu Qianqian said, "Brother?"

"Just in case something goes wrong, Aunt Hong must not have any accidents. I always feel that this time the autumn will blow up the beasts lurking in the dark." Bai Lanshi rubbed his cuffs and said.

The large army was mighty, with a group of more than a dozen carriages. Bailanshi's carriage was not far from the emperor. Qi Huan rode a horse and followed the side of Bailanshi's carriage, whispering a few words into it from time to time.

Tong Yuwan and His Majesty are in a carriage, accompanied by Concubine Shu.

Etiquette stipulates that when hunting in the field, young animals are not caught, eggs are not collected, pregnant animals are not killed, young animals are not injured, and bird nests are not destroyed. In addition, hunting and killing must be surrounded but not combined, leaving room for it, and it is not possible to catch everything in one go and wipe out the roots.

Field hunting in the past dynasties was the best opportunity for courtiers and princes to get close to the emperor. Many courtiers accompanied their sons with them, hoping to be promoted by His Majesty and find a position in an official position.

Set up camp on an open grassland, Rong Le helped Bai Lanshi get out of the car, went into the tent to rest for a while, Wu Qianqian made a bed inside, Bai Lanshi caught a glimpse of the sachet hanging on Wu Qianqian's waist, and the corners of her lips were rare Wu Qianqian did not seem to notice it.

Bai Lanshi said, "Qi Xiaoya is here too."

Rong Le said, "Come on, I saw you just now."

Wu Qianqian paused, then returned to normal.

Qi Huan can't get too close to Bai Lanshi on this occasion, even though many people know their relationship well, they can't be so blatant in front of His Majesty.

After resting for a while, a little eunuch came to invite Bai Lanshi to the banquet. The location was the same as that of His Majesty's birthday banquet. Qi Xiaoya's eyes lit up when she saw Wu Qianqian, but she couldn't speak a lot of words. It can be seen that Wu Qianqian's waist is empty The heart fell back again, and the corners of the mouth hung down a little.

Bai Lanshi glanced at Wu Qianqian who was sitting at the back, and it was true that the sachet that was hanging on her waist just now was gone. Bai Lanshi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Now he is more and more aware that feelings are inexplicable, and he can only rely on the two of them to grope a little bit.

Qi Huan sat opposite Bai Lanshi, but his eyes were always lowered. Bai Lanshi seldom went out, and many people only saw him at His Majesty's birthday banquet. Now there are many noble sons here, and they all looked at Bai Lanshi sitting with the royal family with great interest.

His Majesty was supported by Gao Chao, and Tong Yuwan followed beside him. His Majesty's eye sockets were sunken, and his figure had lost a lot of weight. Even if Bai Lanshi guessed it, he was actually taken aback. Fortunately, His Majesty seems to be in good spirits, and speaks with great spirit.

"My loves, you don't need to be restrained, just play and relax at that time." His Majesty sat on the high seat and glanced at the people below with a smile, "I won't play around with young people anymore, everyone have fun."

The older brother and the younger brother are all dressed in military uniforms, with bows and arrows on their backs and on horseback. They are all heroic young men. The three princes also changed into military uniforms, Bai Lanshi's eyes were glued to Qi Huan's body, and the corners of his eyes filled with smiles when people looked at him, Qi Huan's ears were a little red, cute and tight.

Seeing the young men galloping away wantonly, Bai Lanshi felt no sense of depression for the first time, and was more looking forward to Qi Huan's safe return from hunting.

"I don't know if it will hurt." Bai Lanshi whispered.

Qi Xiaoya has regained her energy and returned to her usual appearance, "Let me go, sir, my brother is very powerful."

Bai Lanshi smiled, but said nothing. His Majesty has already left, and Bai Lanshi also wants to go back to rest, the sun is too hot.

As soon as Rong Le helped him up, Gao Chao came to his side, bowed his waist and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has invited Mr. Bai."

Bai Lanshi looked at Gao Chao and frowned slightly, he was not someone beside the queen, why did he follow the emperor.

If His Majesty wanted to see him, Bai Lanshi naturally had to go, "Eunuch Lao Gao will lead the way."

When we came to the center tent, there were two soldiers standing outside the tent, and said superbly, "Sir, Your Majesty said that you only saw him alone."

Before Rongle and Wu Qianqian spoke, Bai Lanshi said, "Understood, you two are waiting for me outside."

Wu Qianqian was a little worried, but now she was in Daqi, and the monarch of Daqi wanted to see her senior brother, and Wu Qianqian had no way or ability to stop her.

There was no one else in the tent except the emperor, Qi Shu sat on the main seat and looked at Bai Lanshi below, "Mr. is here."

Bai Lanshi knelt down and saluted with his head on the ground, "Grassman Bai Lanshi sees Your Majesty."

"Get up." Qi Shu waved his hand, "Sit."

After taking his seat, His Majesty propped up his arms and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Without saying anything more, Bai Lanshi settled down to think, and the two of them just sat quietly for a stick of incense.

Wu Qianqian outside the tent didn't hear any sound, so she didn't dare to rush in, so she had to go back and forth on the spot, Gao Ming said, "Girl, Your Majesty and Mr. Bai are going to have a conversation, you should go back to rest first, this day is very poisonous .”

Wu Qianqian calmed down and smiled, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your understanding. I'm just waiting for senior brother here. These days are nothing."

Gao Chao smiled, the meat piled up on his face, and said no more.

Qi Shu in the tent opened his eyes, looked at Bai Lanshi with downcast eyes, and said, "Mr. Lao Bai has taken care of Qi Huan these days."

Bai Lanshi, who didn't know what His Majesty wanted, chose not to speak. Sure enough, Qi Shu didn't want Bai Lanshi to answer him, and said to himself: "Mr. Bai is from Xuanji Pavilion, right? Sometimes I admire Bian Yujing a lot." Yes, how would he react if he knew that his only apprentice was hanging out with royal men."

It seems that Qi Shu knew about the relationship between him and Qi Huan. That's right, how could the majestic ruler of a country not even know the things under his nose? What should come will always come, but Bai Lanshi didn't expect it That's how it started.

"Well, it's fun to play." Qi Shu got up and stood up, holding the armchair with his hands, and stood up slowly, as if it was already dusk. The index finger bent and tapped a bright yellow bow and arrow engraved with Kowloon on the bow stand, "Mr. Bai must know about this thing."

This is the imperial bow and arrow representing the emperor. Bai Lanshi realized something when he saw the smile on Qi Shu's face. He tightened his hands suddenly, stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't be hasty."

Qi Shu laughed loudly, pressed Bai Lanshi's shoulder to sit him down, and finally patted him and said, "Why are you nervous, I haven't said anything yet."

"Your Majesty." Bai Lan shivered a little, "Your Majesty just wanted to provoke everyone today. Your Majesty, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"Hahaha." Qi Shu patted Bai Lanshi's face with his generous palm and said, "If I have a son like you, it would be a good choice." Then his face was gloomy, and he sat on a high seat, kneading his hands constantly The temple said, "Let's play a game. If Qi Huan is the next one to come in, I will give the bow and arrow to Qi Jing, otherwise I will give it to Qi Huan. What do you think, Mister Bai?"

Looking at the emperor in front of him, Bai Lanshi felt that he was a lunatic who casually took the position of crown prince as a bet, "Your Majesty, you still have the third prince."

"By the way, I still have a son." Qi Shu suddenly realized, "However, he has other uses."

"Your Majesty, you know that the third prince has contacts with the Dongying people in private." Bai Lanshi wanted to get something out of Qi Shu's mouth as much as possible, but Qi Shu's mouth was unusually tight, looking at the half-person-high hourglass in front of him and said, "It's time to come back .”

Bai Lanshi looked around, there was nowhere to run, and the only exit was guarded by two soldiers, his palms were sweating from nervousness.

There was noise outside the tent, but there was no life inside. Qi Shu said, "Mr. Bai, just wait."

Rong Le outside the tent looked at Qi Huan who had returned, tiptoed to watch, and heard Wu Qianqian said, "Sister Qianqian, should we tell His Royal Highness Rui Wang?"

Wu Qianqian looked at Gao Chao in front of her, thought for a while and whispered a few words in Rong Le's ear, and said to Gao Chao, "I've been standing here for a long time, and I'm tired too, it seems that senior brother won't be able to come out for a while. , my younger sister is still young, so I will take her back to rest first, and I hope my senior brother will come out and Eunuch Gao will take care of her."

Gao Chao said with a smile, "It should be, the miscellaneous family said that it is time to go to rest, and the little girls have delicate skin and tender flesh."

Rong Le felt disgusted looking at Gao Chao's expression, and quietly pulled down Wu Qianqian's sleeve.

Qi Huan came back on his horse, and after getting off his horse, he looked for his brother in the crowd. He searched round and round but couldn't find him, and became flustered for no reason.

Seeing Wu Qianqian and Rong Le who were walking towards them, they hurried over, "Where's brother?"

Wu Qianqian said, "Young Master is going to meet friends, Your Highness should go back and change clothes first."

Qi Huan's soft armor was stained with bloodstains of animals, and his whole body looked much sharper. Qi Huan frowned and said, "Is there any friend here, tell me that my brother is here."

"Your Highness, don't worry, brother just has something to do." Wu Qianqian said.

Qi Huan saw her talking Tai Chi to him, and sneered, "It's impossible for my brother not to come and see me, is he being entangled by someone, is it..." Before he finished speaking, Gao Chao hurriedly rushed over with small steps Walking over, he panted unevenly and said, "Your Highness, the empress wants this old slave to tell you that after His Highness left, Mr. Bai was called by His Majesty, and he hasn't come out yet."

Rong Le stared at Gao Chao with wide eyes, this old fox is really not a good thing. Wu Qianqian pulled out Qi Huan who was about to leave, and could clearly feel the trembling body under the soft armor. Gao Chao has already pushed aside, watching this farce from a distance.

"Let go." Qi Huan said coldly, his eyes burning with anger.

"You just broke in like this, that's the emperor, your father, it's disrespectful." Wu Qianqian got a little annoyed and yelled at Qi Huan directly.

Qi Huan was still cold to her, "If something happens to Bai Lanshi, what will you give me to repay it?"

Wu Qianqian saw Qi Xiaoya behind Qi Huan, and Qi Huan broke free for a moment in a daze, and strode hurriedly towards the direction of the main tent.

Qi Xiaoya stood there at a loss, but her eyes were red, "Did I bother you?"

Wu Qianqian whispered to Rong Le, "Go and see what happened."

Rong Le responded, stepped forward and ran towards Qi Huan. It was Qi Xiaoya who asked again, "Where's the sachet?"

"Throw it away." Wu Qianqian turned her eyes away from Qi Xiaoya, Qi Xiaoya's tears fell uncontrollably like broken pearls, "I didn't mean to cry, I..."

"Enough." Wu Qianqian said, "You are the princess of a country, what you should do is to contribute to this country, not to do whatever you want based on your love."

"I know, I know everything." Qi Xiaoya murmured, tears rolled down her cheeks, and the warm light hit Wu Qianqian's heart heavily, "But I just like you, just purely."

The one she loves sheds tears in front of her and says she just likes it. Wu Qianqian rushes out of a thought of not caring, taking her away, whoever she is. Her body is a step faster than her head, and she has already stepped forward to wipe Qi Xiaoya My daughter's family used face powder all over her cheeks, but this rubbing made her cheeks stained.
