The Sixth Prince was not embarrassed, nor did he feel guilty. He stood quietly and allowed the emperor to look at him.

After a while, the emperor ordered his men to return to the palace.

As for the rest, no mention was made.

Qi Delong secretly sweated, and took advantage of the gap in the army to say to the Sixth Prince: "Your Highness, I will take the soldiers back first, and then go back to the palace to ask for permission."

"Are you okay?"

The Sixth Prince smiled gently: "Don't worry, General, I will be fine."

Qi Delong had a good impression of him and couldn't help but worry about him: "I think the emperor is not in a good mood, you have to be careful."

"Thank you, General."

Qi Delong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Your Highness, why do you want to... I think the emperor is somewhat dissatisfied. If he has any grudge against you, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The Sixth Prince smiled at him and said, "General, do you think I am doing this for the throne of the emperor?"

Qi Delong's eyebrows jumped. He did mean that, but wasn't it? After working so hard for so long and trying so hard to bring down the crown prince, wasn't it just to enter the East Palace and ascend the throne in the future?

The Sixth Prince turned his head and looked towards the horizon: "I just want to seek justice for my second brother and the Queen."

"Let the prince tell you in public what dirty things they have done."

"As for who will be the emperor, it doesn't matter to me as long as it's not my second brother and it's not the crown prince."

Qi Delong was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

The Sixth Prince whispered, "General, if you have done a good job, then leave the capital quickly. This time, it may seem like a success, but it may not be. It all depends on what our emperor thinks."

"Is Miss Qi doing well in the Northwest?"

Qi Delong was thinking about what he said when the topic suddenly turned to his daughter.

He felt a little wary. Why did the Sixth Prince suddenly ask about his daughter? Could it be that he wanted to...

This won't do. Although the Sixth Prince is a good person, he doesn't want his daughter to get involved in the muddy waters of the capital.

"She's... okay, but she seems a little uncomfortable. Her health is really worrying me. I told her to rest well and not move."

Qi Delong quickly and abruptly changed the subject: "Hey? Is the Ninth Princess coming soon? Will I have a chance to ask for a glass of wedding wine by then?"

The Sixth Prince: “…” This guy must have got it wrong.

He smiled lightly: "Princess Zhennan is a good doctor, please ask her to take good care of Miss Qi. An Cizhou is also a good person, you can make a good match for her."

Qi Delong was stunned.

The Sixth Prince glanced in the direction of the tent and said, "General, please leave quickly. It is better for us to have less contact with each other, so as not to cause any trouble for you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Delong felt a deep sense of guilt, thinking that he was a piece of shit for misunderstanding others like that.

Moreover, the Ninth Princess was also mentioned.

That was a marriage of peace, not a glorious thing. Just based on an imperial decree, he had to marry a woman from another country whom he had never met.

It’s really... miserable.

Qi Delong sighed with regret and felt like a worthless person again.

Then he thought of An Cizhou again. Was this a good match? In his opinion, he was not a good person either.

Everything was fine, but he insisted on kidnapping his own daughter to the northwest. The An family is so powerful, can't they find a few people to escort her?

Oh, it turns out that he was thinking of marrying his own daughter.

An Cizhou, you bastard.

……

The bastard An Cizhou sneezed.

Huo Changhe returned the letter to him: "Are you sick?"

An Cizhou rubbed his nose: "No, but it felt like someone was scolding me."

"It should be my father, or my grandfather. I have to write a letter back and ask about the situation in Beijing."

He turned around and hurried away again.

Yan Ruyu called him, "Master An."

An Cizhou turned around and said helplessly: "Princess, I have told you many times not to call me that. I have come here from thousands of miles away because of your protection."

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, there is something I want to ask you for a favor."

An Cizhou said without hesitation: "Okay, you say, as long as I can do it."

"It's like this. You used to work in the Ministry of Revenue. You know a lot about people's livelihood, and you're good at calculations. Governor Cao wants to do a big project, and he needs someone like you to help. I wonder..."

An Cizhou's eyes lit up: "No problem."

He had nothing to do every day, so he played and had fun with Jiang Yanmu. He lamented that he had played all the games he could play. Now he had a serious job, which he was good at and which could benefit Youcheng. Maybe he could even make a record in history books.

He had heard that Governor Cao was going to do something very big, and had always wanted to ask, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

This is a great opportunity.

Yan Ruyu said: "Since you are willing, I will tell Governor Cao and you can go over to help when the time comes."

“Salary…”

Before he finished speaking, An Cizhou waved his hand and said, "It is my honor to be able to participate in such a big event. I don't need any salary if I just sit there and eat for free every day."

"Let's put it this way," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, "It's not reasonable to work for nothing and not make any money. Besides, this has not been going on for a day or two."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Yes, besides, you don't want to marry?"

"We still need to think more about the future."

Although Huo Changhe spoke little, his words accurately hit An Cizhou's vital points.

His expression immediately became serious: "That makes sense."

"How much is the fee?"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

"Just like when you were in the Ministry of Revenue."

An Cizhou thought quickly: "I used to work in the Ministry of Revenue. In addition to my salary, I also received other gifts such as charcoal and ice..."

“On top of the city hall.”

An Cizhou was very satisfied, and Yan Ruyu added: "After the matter is settled, I will give you another shop."

An Cizhou smiled happily: "That's true, how can I be so embarrassed?"

"I will give Dong Qiang three rooms, and as a sworn sister, I will give her at least a few more rooms as a betrothal gift in the future."

An Cizhou blushed, and Huo Changhe chuckled: "Why are you blushing? It's not for you. It's not certain who Miss Qi will marry in the future."

An Cizhou was immediately anxious: "Prince, why are you talking like that? What are you not sure about?"

He walked out angrily: "I will... decide it right now."

Huo Changhe added: "What do you have to rely on? You only have a few banknotes from home. You have no house, no land, and no money."

An Cizhou: “…”

"I'm going to go find Governor Cao right now and do something big!"

When Yan Ruyu saw that he really left, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Huo Changhe said proudly: "This kind of motivation method is more effective than money."

"Your Majesty is wise."

As they were chatting and laughing, they heard Linlang talking in the yard.

"What are you doing? You're acting so sneaky."

"Why am I... I'm here to see the princess."

Linlang snorted, "There are people coming to see the princess every day. There are so many people, but not one like you."

As soon as Yan Ruyu heard the voice, she knew who it was.

"What is he doing here?" Huo Changhe's smile faded slightly.

Yan Ruyu patted his arm and said, "Your Majesty, you must not be prejudiced against others."

Huo Changhe remained silent. Yan Ruyu was right. He was prejudiced against this person.
