"Your Highness, the princess is amazing. If it weren't for her..." Zhen Ming was about to praise Cheng Qingqing, but was interrupted by the latter.

"Uncle Zhen, my father just woke up and must be hungry. Let's have dinner first!"

Too many things happened today, and my father's condition is not good. I will tell him some things later.

"Yes, let's eat first." King Xiaoyao picked up the food box he brought and put it on the table.

Zhen Ming cleared the things on the table and brought out the food, along with a cup of bird's nest porridge.

After setting the food, the two kings and Nangong Qing took their leave first, and Zhen Ming also withdrew and stood guard outside the door.

Ling Batian didn't know when he left, and only the father and daughter were left in the entire imperial study.

"Dad, please sit over here." Cheng Qingqing helped Baili Changyao over and asked him to sit on his seat.

Baili Changyao enjoyed his daughter's service very much, and now he finally knew what family happiness was.

"Qing'er, sit down too."

"Okay." Cheng Qingqing put the cup of bird's nest porridge in front of him, "Dad, your stomach is not very good, so just eat food that is easy to digest."

"Well, daddy listens to Qing'er." Baili Changyao looked at the bird's nest porridge and the rich meal on the table, feeling a little dazed.

Since he was captured by the Si family and his son, in order to humiliate him, he only ate cold and sour food every day. Later, he suffered a stomachache and almost died that time.

The Si family father and son were afraid that he was really dead, so they gave him steamed buns instead. More than ten years have passed and he has forgotten what meat tastes like.

"Dad, eat it quickly! It's not good for your stomach if it gets cold." Cheng Qingqing said.

Baili Changyao nodded and picked up the small spoon.

Cheng Qingqing looked at her father. Although he had been imprisoned for more than ten years, he still maintained an elegant eating posture, sat upright, and showed elegance and dignity in every move he made.

The imperial study became quiet. The father and daughter were having dinner when there was a knock on the door.

"Qingqing, it's me who's back." It was Li Beimo's voice.

Cheng Qingqing was worried about him. When she heard that he was back, she put down her chopsticks and got up to open the door for him.

"You're back."

"Yeah." Li Beimo walked in, still wearing the same outfit.

Cheng Qingqing helped him remove his backpack and two guns.

Baili Changyao also stopped and frowned slightly as he watched the intimate interaction between the two.

Suddenly I felt like my precious daughter was about to be snatched away.

Li Beimo arranged his clothes, walked up to Baili Changyao, and gave him a respectful salute, "My son-in-law, Li Beimo, pay my respects to my father-in-law!"

"You...?" Baili Changyao looked at Cheng Qingqing in surprise, "Qing'er, you are actually married?"

Cheng Qingqing was helping Li Beimo pour the wash water. When she heard what he said, she put down the basin and came over, "Dad, we are not married yet, but my daughter... likes him."

After hearing this, Baili Changyao looked at Li Beimo carefully from beginning to end.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Li Beimo became nervous. Did the father-in-law dislike him?

But since they didn't speak, he could only keep standing and bear the baptism of his future father-in-law's gaze.

His palms were slightly sweaty, as if there was a rabbit hiding in his heart.

Over the years, he has been on countless battlefields, large and small, and had numerous brushes with death, but he has never been so nervous.

Sensing his embarrassment, Cheng Qingqing quickly came to the rescue, took her father's hand and said like a little daughter, "Daddy."

Baili Changyao's heart suddenly softened and he coughed lightly, "Ahem... Qing'er, since he calls me father-in-law, why don't you introduce me to him?"

Cheng Qingqing said quickly: "Dad, his name is Li Beimo. He is the second son of the Emperor of Fengjin Kingdom, King Jing'an. He just turned one year old this year."

"King Jing'an of Fengjin Kingdom? He's quite good-looking." Baili Changyao nodded slightly.

"To make Qing'er fall in love with you, I guess you are not just an ordinary person."

Hearing his evaluation of himself, Li Beimo felt relieved.

"Dad, you are right. King Jingan went to the battlefield when he was 13 years old. In the first battle, he captured Emperor Beixin, who was the emperor's commander. From then on, he was invincible in every battle." Cheng Qingqing spared no effort to put in good words for Li Beimo.

"Emperor Beixin who took the title of imperial chariot at the age of 13 and went on a personal expedition?" Baili Changyao couldn't help but glance at Li Beimo. "Li Chengjing did give birth to a good son."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the spoon again.

"The hot water has been poured. Go wash your face quickly and have dinner with daddy." Cheng Qingqing said to Li Beimo.

"Okay." Li Beimo smiled slightly and turned to wash his face.

Cheng Qingqing helped Li Beimo get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them ate quietly.

Baili Changyao only ate the cup of bird's nest porridge and stopped eating. He sat down by the stove.

After staying in a dark dungeon for more than ten years, he suffered from rheumatism in his legs, and his leg joints ached in winter.

After dinner, Cheng Qingqing asked about the battle situation outside.

"We killed the Yu family brothers and dozens of generals. Those ordinary soldiers were leaderless and naturally did not want to die. The 20 troops were handed over to General Wu Feng and the Nangong family." Li Beimo said.

Zhen Ming came in to clear away the dishes and told them that the generals were waiting outside and wanted to see the prince.

"Let them come in!" Baili Changyao ordered.

"Yes!"

After a while, the generals who participated in today's siege came in, as well as Nangong Qing and his three sons, Fang Zhengjun, Yan Guang'an, King Jin and King Xiaoyao.

After paying homage to Baili Changyao, Xing Rujin first reported the casualties in today's battle.

"The number of people killed by the bombing is incalculable. In total, more than 580 Imperial Guards and more than 210 city defenders were wiped out. [-] and [-] of our troops were killed and [-] were injured."

Nangong Guang then reported that almost all the officials of Director Tai's dynasty were under investigation. There were not many people they could use, and the biggest problem they faced was that there was no more than a tael of silver in the treasury.

King Jin immediately said: "I will give you one million taels of silver."

"I will also provide 100 million. If it is not enough to sell the property, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty." King Xiaoyao also said.

"Your Highness, don't worry, our Nangong family will give everything we have..."

Everyone present donated money.

"I don't need everyone's money." Cheng Qingqing opened a small bag in front of them and took out a thick stack of silver notes. "Here are 1000 million taels of silver notes. I'll take them for emergency use. I still have more than enough."

Looking at so many banknotes, except for a few insiders, everyone's eyes widened.

Xing Rujin rubbed his hands and said, "Princess is worthy of being the owner of Baimei Building. She is really rich."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Beimo and Cheng Qingqing had just arrived in Zhongyun City less than a month ago, so these banknotes must be from Baimei Tower.

Naturally, Cheng Qingqing would not explain this to them. She handed all the banknotes to Nangong Qing and asked him to distribute the money.

After solving the major problem of banknotes, Baili Changyao personally wrote a memorandum to expose the crimes of Si Wenchang and his son to the world!

He also issued a sea arrest document and paid a large sum of money to apprehend Si's family! If you get one of the heads of the Si family, you will be rewarded with 30 gold. If you can get the heads of Si Wenchang and Si Changtai, you will be rewarded with 50 taels of gold.

After the matter was discussed, everyone left.

"Qing'er, your mother..."

Baili Changyao hesitated and asked about Cheng Ying.
