The man in green frowned. "Yesterday, during the military celebration, it was General Huang who led the way in persuading the Prince to reward the troops. The Prince at that time—"

"Stop talking." Qin Yi interrupted coldly, his gaze falling on Bai Shu. "How is the teacher?"

Bai Shu wiped the sweat from his brow. "The outlook is not very optimistic. I can only do my best."

"How could even Lord Bai say such a thing?!" an old general exclaimed emotionally.

Bai Shu ignored him and instead looked at General Huang, who had just criticized Qin Yi, and said coldly:

“General Du was unwell yesterday, which I diagnosed just now. How can you blame it on the Prince?”

General Huang's expression changed after being rebuked. "I was just in a hurry. I was also worried about General Du."

"Is that so?" Bai Shu's eyes were sarcastic. He was nothing but the old emperor's lackey, always looking for an opportunity to slander the prince.

"Cough..." The old man on the bed coughed a few times.

Everyone stepped forward, "General Du!"

General Du forced open his heavy eyelids and sat up with Bai Shu's help.

He raised his eyes and smiled gently at the generals, "Look at you all, step back quickly, I have something to say to the marshal."

The generals bowed to General Du and then withdrew.

Bai Shu nodded and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this during the southward migration, he followed Bai Shu.

"Girl, stay here." Old Sang's voice rang out from behind.

Nanqianyue paused, slowly turned around, and said, "...I...I'd better go out." This was to avoid any further gossip about Qin Yi.

General Du smiled kindly, "It's alright, there's no need to pay attention to idle gossip."

Qin Yi turned around, grabbed Nan Qianyue, and led her to General Du.

He squatted down, looked at General Du, and asked, "Teacher, how are you feeling?"

General Du shook his head. “It’s not important. Listen to me. His Majesty is wary of you now. No matter what means he uses, you must not hand over your military power. His Majesty is not suitable to command the army.”

Nanqianyue wanted to cover her ears; how could she listen to such words?

It felt like I was being forcibly tied to Qin Yi.
