Chapter 269 Dai Jiangkuang

Bai Qianqian's face turned pale as she watched Mingyue being taken away. Her hands hanging at her sides couldn't help but tightly grasp the hem of her skirt.

The emperor is now unwilling to show her any mercy.

It was just a wild child of unknown origin, but because that was the person Si Linglong was protecting, she was not satisfied with just handing over the person, but she even had to help her out...

Even the prince showed no intention of speaking for her from beginning to end.

Even though she knew that the prince wanted to avoid suspicion, at this moment, Bai Qianqian couldn't help feeling sad.

[I can't go on like this. I must, as soon as possible, take down the Queen Mother...]

Bai Qianqian secretly made up her mind. Tomorrow, she would go to see the Queen Mother. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was also going back to Beijing. On the way back to Beijing, she could always think of a solution...

Si Linglong was done with her business, and seeing that there were people around Helian Yue, she led them to bow to Helian Yue and take her leave.

She wants to withdraw.

Helian Yue sneered in his heart when he saw this.

This heartless guy just vented his anger for her and wanted to leave after crossing the bridge.

Why retreat?

"My beloved, please come with me." Helian Yue ordered directly, and then gestured to Helian Tuo beside him, "It's getting late, everyone should go their separate ways. The arrangements for returning to the capital will be carried out as we agreed before."

Helian Tuo smiled and nodded, and he and the deputy commander of the imperial guards Dai Jiangkuang beside him answered, "Yes."

Helian Yue waved to Si Linglong, who resigned herself to pulling little Li Sheng to Helian Yue. Shuhong and Qinglu naturally followed and joined the group of people who were accompanying Helian Yue and walked back.

When she turned around, Shu Hong happened to pass by Dai Jiangkuan who was beside Helian Tuo, and the latter followed her movements subconsciously with his eyes.

When Concubine Lang Gui lived in the side hall of Linghua Palace, he, as a guard of the imperial army, had seen the palace ladies around her many times.

Among them, the girl Shuhong was the most unforgettable to him.

Although she had a good-looking appearance, she was always taciturn and silent, and never smiled. She was completely different from the usual palace maids who would become shy when someone spoke to them. This made him occasionally curious about what she looked like when she smiled.

Looking at her obedient and quick-witted response today, Dai Jiangkuan felt an inexplicable itch in his heart. Looking at her slowly receding back, his eyes couldn't help but be filled with a bit of warmth.

Helian Tuo noticed Dai Jiangkuang's look, and his heart moved slightly. He showed a teasing expression on his face, "Deputy Commander Dai is accompanying us as a guard this time. He is so young and has been promoted to the position of deputy commander. I think after returning to Beijing, he should consider starting a family, right?"

Dai Jiangkuang quickly retracted his gaze, his face slightly depressed, and he only slightly bowed to Helian Tuo, "Sir, please don't tease me. Right now, I am only focused on doing what your majesty has entrusted me to do."

The deputy commander of the imperial guards who was originally scheduled to accompany the emperor on the winter hunt was unable to go due to injury, so Commander Huo temporarily allowed him to take over the position of deputy commander. Dai Jiangkuang also stood out in the winter hunt martial arts competition and was appointed by the emperor to become the official deputy commander. He was very proud of himself.

Seeing that he was serious, Helian Tuo just smiled and patted his shoulder, saying something ambiguous,

"It is said that not long ago, Concubine Lang Gui sent one of her servants out of the palace to get married. It is common for women in the palace to get married early if they are blessed. I just don't know who will be the next one?"

Dai Jiangkuan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't know what this powerful prince meant by saying this to him.

Could it be that he figured it out?

Helian Tuo ignored Dai Jiangkuang's reaction. After he finished speaking, he turned around with a smile and walked down the mountain.

There are some things that you may not dare to think about when you are in a low position, but when your status becomes higher and your power grows, you will gradually dare to think about and even do the things you did not dare to think about before.

The current deputy commander, Dai Jiangkuan, was the one chosen by Helian Tuo after careful selection. He just hoped that he would not disappoint him.

When he turned around, he glanced at the yard where Bai Qianqian was, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

It was just a small matter of a few dried fruits, but she made such a fuss about it.

Apart from the time when they were in love, she was becoming more and more disappointing to him.
