"Are you really planning for yourself or for others?" Gu Shuo, who had never spoken, suddenly asked.

Ye Qianning was slightly stunned, met Gu Shuo's gaze, and did not answer immediately.

Weighing the pros and cons, she had thought about the map in Sang Zhi's eyes, Penglai, and her choice naturally included Sang Zhi's share.

Seeing her silence, Gu Shuo seemed to have guessed it: "He is not as weak as he was back then. You don't have to do this."

"It's better to be conspicuous alone than with two people." Ye Qianning did not deny it.

She just felt that instead of letting people who knew the secret of Sang Zhi's eyes stare at him, it would be better for them to stare at her, the person who had the Penglai item in her hand. There were so many people anyway, and it wouldn't matter to her if there were more.

"I don't know what's so good about him that makes you treat him like this." Gu Shuo said sullenly with some displeasure.

"I treat him as my younger brother."

“…”

“…”

How old is he? How old is she? How can he be her younger brother?

Who would believe it!

As the sky gradually darkened, Sang Yan got a tent from Du Yi and simply built it into a simple residence. Ye Qianning also asked someone to bring a mat and bedding.

The weather in August is hot, but the whole yard is cool, so you really need bedding if you want to rest.

Sitting in the tent, Sang Yan thought about the oral instruction in his arms and felt it was ridiculous, but as a prince of a country, he had no choice but to fight for the interests and power in front of him.

This oral order from the emperor must never be revealed. If Ye Qianning and his party want to go to Beili, the emperor will not be able to let go of his attitude. There is no hope at all.

Sang Yan found paper and pen, and started writing an urgent letter.

Without sufficient sincerity, Ye Qianning and Xiang Minghou would not consider Beili. Prince Xiyan has a very good relationship with them. If the two of them cooperate, it will be a crisis for all three countries.

Some princes of Dongwei were also on the mountain road. They heard from Sang Yin that the relationship between the young prince Nanyuan and Ye Qianning was also very good.

Only Beili.

Sang Yan's pen moved with a sharp edge, and every word he spoke was merciless. There was danger everywhere. If his father cared, he would issue an order himself without anyone as an excuse.

The royal family only represents the royal family of Beili, and only in this way will there be a turning point.

After writing the letter, Sang Yan folded it, walked out of the tent and went into the back mountain.

Ye Qianning and Old Chen were discussing something when Luo Xuan came in and reported about Sang Yan.

"The Third Prince is the most sensible in his work. He is the one that I value most among the students of his class." Old Chen said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Sure enough, Master is the one who understands them best."

No wonder Master mentioned Xiliuyuan in front of the Third Prince.

"The Third Prince has become more profound than before, and it's hard to see through him. However, what he cares about is always power. Even after he got the position he wanted, he still didn't change."

Emperor Beili is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. His adaptability and thick-skinnedness are truly admirable.

"That's great."

Ye Qianning wished he would do so.

"Miss, dinner is ready. Would you like to eat?" Du Yi came in.

"Dad and Qiandie haven't come back yet?" Ye Qianning looked up.

“No.”

"Then wait a moment."

Ye Qianning was a little worried, fearing that he would suffer unnecessary injuries when he returned.

Qian Fanji and Xiang Minghou returned from the back mountain before dinner. They both had some bruises on their faces, but no serious injuries.

Luo Wen's bruised face and nose looked much more seriously injured than the other two.

Ye Qianning: "Caught in the middle, didn't you fight back?"

Luo Wen: "I can't beat him."

“…”

"Take it back and rub it on yourself." Ye Qianning took out the ointment from the space.

"Miss, there's no need. It's just a minor injury." One of Luo Wen's eyes was so swollen that he couldn't open it. His cheek was also swollen, and his speech was a little unclear.

"Dad Qian and Dad's moves all landed on you. I asked you to stop the fight, not to take them all." Ye Qianning stuffed the ointment into his hand.

The eyes were Qian Di's moves, and the cheek was obviously kicked by Dad's big feet. Dad's shoes were leather with a few leather patterns hidden on them, so you can imagine how heavy they were.

"Thank you, Miss." Luo Wen smiled and grimaced in pain, pulling his cheeks.

"You can take care of it for the next two days."

"yes."

Ye Qianning watched him limping back to the room, shook his head helplessly, turned around and took a few steps when he saw a man walking out of the tent on the left side of the yard.

"Third Prince, have you had dinner?" she asked with a smile.

"kindness."

Sang Yan nodded and walked towards her.

"My father is in the right room. If the Third Prince falls asleep, you can go drink with him."

Sang Yan chuckled when he heard this: "I wouldn't dare go drinking with him. If I get drunk, I wouldn't be able to withstand a couple of punches from him."

Ye Qianning looked up and down: "The Third Prince looks thinner than he did many years ago."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to have changed so much. If you hadn't been with Master Chen, how could I not have recognized you?"

Ye Qianning: "Not to mention the Third Prince, even my father can't recognize him."

"Oh? They can't recognize me either?" Sang Yan was a little surprised.

"Everyone remembers that I was fat, and it seems that few people can imagine what I would look like when I was thin." Thinking about it, Ye Qianning found it funny. It seemed that in everyone's memory, she only occupied one word: fat!

"Indeed, you were fatter than most children when you were a child, and it was hard to ignore you." You were so fat that people couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"I still remember that Prince Changyang often said that I am heavier than both of Nanxiang." Ye Qianning chuckled.

Sang Yan had indeed heard Prince Changyang talk about it, and now he couldn't help laughing when he heard her talk about it. After laughing, he felt a sense of relief.

"So it really is you."

At this moment, he put aside his doubts. Even though her figure and appearance had changed so much that he could not recognize her, the tone of her voice would not change.

Although I was young and immature, I was always neither humble nor arrogant when talking to anyone, and my words were casual. It is still the same now.

Ye Qianning just smiled and said nothing.

"I heard from Yin'er about Bai Muxun. Lin Hui did so many things, but you didn't touch her. Thank you." How could Sang Yan not understand?

"You must keep a close eye on the Third Prince in the future to prevent him from causing any disaster in the future. I won't hold it against you this time, but if there's a next time, I won't show mercy."

"If there's a next time, you don't have to do it, I will do it myself."

This time, Bai Muxun's story shocked him. If it hadn't come from Sang Yin's mouth, he would never have believed it. It was only after Song Qi and Chen Siqing continued to talk about it along the way that he was convinced.

Along the way, Lin Hui behaved as well as usual, hiding her true feelings very well. In the more than ten years in the palace, he never knew that she could be such a vicious person.

"Third Prince." Gu Shuo walked out of the room.

"Brother Gu."

"father."

"Qian Ning, the Third Prince and I have something to discuss." Gu Shuo came forward.

Ye Qianning nodded: "Dad, you guys talk, I'm going back to the house first."

"Rest early."

"knew."

Sang Yan watched her return to her room, then turned his gaze to Gu Shuo: "I see she calls me daddy quite affectionately. Has the relationship between you two improved?"
