Chapter 201 The Princess Asks You
"Dad, where are you?"
When Bu Huaicang heard the voice of his precious daughter, he was so frightened that he immediately rushed out of the tent. When he saw Bu Ruo riding a horse and galloping towards him, he was even more shocked.
"Ruo'er? Why are you here, and riding a horse? Your current body...how can you act so recklessly?"
Bu Ruo pulled Bu Huaicang to look him up and down. Seeing that he was really fine, she tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly, "My daughter was just too worried when she heard that Dad was ambushed. I know what's going on. He's fine."
"What's going on with the Third Prince? Didn't I hear that it was Daddy who was trapped?"
Before Bu Huaicang could answer, a man walked out of the tent and said, "Nephew greets Uncle Ninth and Aunt Ninth."
Bu Ruo narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her, dressed in white and smiling like a scholar. "Sixth Prince, Xiao Hanfei."
"Yes, it's my nephew. I've been away from home for many years and this is my first time meeting Aunt Ninth Emperor. I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so please forgive me. I will make it up to you one day."
Seeing that Bu Ruo had recognized him, Bu Huaicang said, "This time, it was thanks to the Sixth Prince. He led his men to arrive in time and captured the Third Prince and Princess Beining's men, which saved my father from having to work so hard."
Bu Huaicang's meaning was very clear. Even if you don't help me today, I can still find a way to break through, so don't think of using your life-saving grace to embarrass my daughter and son-in-law.
I thought Xiao Hanfei would be displeased, but unexpectedly, his expression didn't even change. "General Bu has led the army for many years, so naturally he wouldn't take such a small incident seriously. I just happened to pass by and took advantage of it. Besides, Third Brother has plotted against me several times recently, so this is just a courtesy."
"Nephew, I'm leaving now so as not to interrupt the conversation between Auntie and General Bu. But Uncle... may I have a moment with you?"
Seeing Xiao Yulan and Xiao Hanfei walk aside, Bu Ruo pulled Bu Huaicang and started to act coquettishly again: "Dad, you are about to become a grandfather, smile."
Bu Huaicang looked at Bu Ruo's flattering look and helplessly reached out and tapped her forehead: "You, you know you are pregnant and you are still making such a fuss. What if you get a miscarriage?"
"Remember this, no matter what happens in the future, even if Dad dies, he dies, but you absolutely must not get into any harm. Your own safety must be your top priority. Do you understand?"
Bu Ruo nodded: "I know, I know."
Knowing is one thing, doing it is another.
Bu Huaicang brought Bu Ruo into the tent, and showed him concern and asked about his well-being. He was truly like an old father who was worried about his father. There was no trace of his ruthless and cruel face on the battlefield.
After a long time, Xiao Yulan came back.
"Well, what did he tell you?"
Xiao Yulan took Bu Ruo's hand and said, "He said he didn't want the throne, but only wanted the emperor's life to avenge his mother. He also promised that he would never be our enemy. If he succeeded, he would support me to take the throne."
Bu Ruo nodded: "This is my first time meeting the Sixth Prince. I can see that he really has no intention of taking the throne. However, if he were to take that position... he would probably be a good emperor. Although he is rebelling, he can indeed be considered a good man."
"He has run many schools over the years and has also helped poor families to the best of his ability. In short, he's a very good person."
"But... I'll tell you another secret. I noticed his Children's Palace is dim. He probably won't have children in this life. I don't know if he was drugged or something when he was a child in the palace."
Seeing that his wife dared to say anything, Xiao Yulan sighed helplessly: "Ruo'er is right, but she was not drugged."
"The Sixth Prince's mother is Concubine Rou. She was very favored in her time. When the Sixth Prince was only a few years old, his mother was tricked by the Empress into having an affair with someone, and the Emperor caught her in bed. In the harem, even if you were tricked, once the conspiracy was confirmed, you would be dead."
"In order to avoid implicating the Sixth Prince, Concubine Rou entrusted him to her wet nurse and then hanged herself in her own chamber. But even so, the Queen still had no intention of letting the Sixth Prince go."
"The Sixth Prince was once pushed into a pond, fell off a horse, and even poisoned without leaving a trace. However, the Emperor had just ascended the throne and was wary of the influence of the Empress's mother's family, so he turned a blind eye. This is how a young eunuch accidentally made a mistake... and he was unable to have children for the rest of his life."
"A prince who cannot have children has no chance of holding that position. From then on, the Empress only spared the Sixth Prince after the Emperor's subtle warning."
"Afterwards, the Sixth Prince left the palace and established his own residence, devoting himself to the natural world. The Emperor, feeling guilty about his actions, did not try to stop him. He simply gave him enough money and a shop to make his life easier. From that day on, he never returned to the Imperial Palace, not even to Kyoto."
Bu Ruo snorted lightly: "Your Majesty, he's still breastfeeding after his child died. He deserves it because his sons all want him dead. He's really unwelcome."
"Oh yeah, there are two more outside, what are you going to do?"
A stick of incense later, the third prince Xiao Yuanming and Princess Beining were forced to kneel in the tent.
"How dare you insult me like this! Do you know who I am? If my brother knew about this, he would definitely lead his troops to attack the Great Zhou."
Bu Ruo lowered her head and played with her nails. She had asked Bier to dye them with flower juice, which would not harm the fetus at all.
"Husband, does it look good?"
Xiao Yulan, who was sitting in the main seat, laughed: "It looks good. Ruo'er looks good no matter what."
The third prince Xiao Yuanming is twenty-five years old this year, and although Princess Beining looks only about thirty because she has taken good care of herself, she is actually nearly forty.
People from Beining look different from people from Da Zhou, and Xiao Yuanming is good at coaxing people, so Princess Beining has rarely left the house in the past few years since she came to Da Zhou. She only hangs out with the Third Prince in his mansion and has never seen Xiao Yulan. When she looked up at him, her eyes were glued to him.
"Are you the Ninth Uncle, the War King that Yuan Ming mentioned? I initially thought he was just an old man, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome. War King, would you consider cooperating with me? If you can cooperate with me, I can find a way to get my brother to help you. Then the Great Zhou will be yours."
"But I have a condition. You must kill your current princess. After you become emperor, I will become the queen and there will only be me in the harem. Are you willing?"
Bu Ruo glanced at the eldest princess with cold eyes, then looked at Xiao Yulan and said in a cold tone: "The princess is asking you, are you willing?"
Xiao Yulan trembled when he saw Bu Ruo's eyes that wanted to kill someone. "I don't want to. There is only Ruo'er in my life. No one can shake Ruo'er's position in my heart."
