I asked you to save the villain, not to take him as your wife!

"This thing is so precious, you are very generous." Zhou Ji said lightly.

"Actually, I'm very stingy. My generosity varies from person to person," Bai Qiu Ming said with a smile.

For example, if it were Zhou Chen, he wouldn't be willing to breathe one more breath of his air.

"So do you like it or not?" Bai Qiu Ming asked.

"No merit, no reward. There's no need to give it to me. If Prince Bai has extra ones, I can pay for one." Zhou Ji said.

"Okay, I'll have someone send you to the Prince's Mansion when I get back." Bai Qiu Ming didn't force him to do so.

Although their mothers were close friends, they were not that familiar with each other after all.

If he forced it to be given, Zhou Ji might think that he was being too attentive for no reason and was either a traitor or a thief.

But he didn't have any bad intentions, so why would he do something that would cause others to misunderstand him?

The Emperor of the Great Zhou was very satisfied with the gift sent by Qiu Ciguo.

However, he did not mention a single word about Bai Qiu Ming coming to the Great Zhou to discuss marriage.

The Queen's mother's family was already very powerful.

If Jing'an marries Bai Qiu Ming again, the power of Crown Prince Zhou Ji will be too great.

The real purpose of making Zhou Ji the crown prince was to use him as a shield for his son Zhou Chen.

But we don't really want him to inherit the throne.

The Queen's mother's family was already among the nobles that the Emperor of the Great Zhou wanted to target, so it wouldn't matter if he took advantage of them now.

But if Jing'an gave Zhou Ji a strong backer like Qiu Ciguo, then he would be in a very difficult position to get rid of.

So this matter must not be accomplished.

If the Great Zhou Emperor hadn't mentioned it, Bai Qiu Ming would naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble.

He also gave instructions for the envoys who were to attend the banquet.

It's impossible to mention this matter.

In fact, if Bai Qiu Ming was just a prince of Qiu Ci Kingdom, the envoys would not listen to him so much.

But the problem is that Bai Qiu Ming is the only prince of Qiu Ci Kingdom.

The throne of Qiuci Kingdom will be his in the future. If they don’t listen to Bai Qiu Ming now, will he be able to use them when he becomes king?

As for the marriage, was it arranged by His Majesty the King?

There is a saying that goes "A general is not bound by orders from his king when he is away from home."

There is also a saying that a county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.

His Royal Highness the Prince is right in front of me, so of course I have to listen to him.

The banquet continued into the evening.

Because there was no discussion about marriage, the only performances were singing and dancing, acrobatics, opera, etc.

Bai Qiu Ming watched with great interest.

Especially opera.

Generally speaking, operas are adapted from real events.

In ancient operas, stories are about things that happened in previous dynasties or among the people.

Bai Qiu Ming always has the feeling of looking at history in history.

Very mysterious.

Although he knew the history of this place, not a single word about it was mentioned in the novels he had read.

But it's real.

This is something that the world grows and replenishes on its own.

The banquet to welcome the foreign prince also ended successfully.

Finally, the Emperor of Great Zhou also told Bai Qiu Ming to stay in Great Zhou for a while longer, and if he needed anything, he could instruct the officials who would receive them.

Of course Bai Qiu Ming agreed readily.

He had originally planned to stay in the Great Zhou for a while longer.

It would be best to wait until his mission is completed, he returns to the real world, and the original owner returns to Qiuci Country.

That would be great.

After the banquet, Bai Qiu Ming left the palace with Zhou Ji.

No one else dared to get too close to Zhou Ji, but Bai Qiu Ming dared.

Zhou Ji may be crazy, but he is not crazy all the time.

As long as they don't compete with him for the throne and are not followers of Zhou Chen and other princes, Zhou Ji will not target them at all.

As the only prince of Qiuci Kingdom, he naturally does not belong to any of these.

His mission is to rescue the villain, and his own plan is to bring Zhou Ji and the heroine together, so of course he has to get to know them better.

Otherwise, how can we bring them together?

Of course Zhou Ji didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Bai Qiu Ming walking beside him, he just glanced at him and said nothing.

"I wonder if the Crown Prince has found out who assassinated me and who is the mastermind behind it?" Bai Qiu Ming took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"You are indeed very smart." Zhou Ji said, tilting his head.

"Of course, many of your brothers want to take your place, and it's no secret that you love Furong." Bai Qiu Ming acted mysterious.

"So far, only the third prince has been found to be involved. The others will take some time," said Zhou Ji.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me." Bai Qiu Ming clasped his fists.

"No need. I haven't got any concrete evidence, but I'm sure they were involved," Zhou Ji said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's confirmed." Bai Qiu Ming said indifferently.

"Aren't you afraid that I will use you to eliminate dissidents?" Zhou Ji asked.

"You won't." Bai Qiu Ming said with a smile.

"No, I am alone." Zhou Ji said seriously.

"What I mean is, if you really want to use me, you won't say it, and you will probably even fabricate some evidence." Bai Qiu Ming still said with a smile.

Zhou Ji suddenly looked him up and down and smiled.

"You are very smart and you know me well," Zhou Ji said.

"Thank you, thank you." Bai Qiu Ming clasped his fists.

"So, how do you plan to deal with my third and sixth brothers?" Zhou Ji asked.

"Of course I won't let it go easily." Bai Qiu Ming said with a smile.

Although this matter was instigated by Zhou Chen.

But Bai Qiu Ming believed that if they did not have such intention, then Zhou Chen's instigation would be in vain.

Since you have done it, you must always take responsibility.

Although he didn't die, it was very painful for him to fall off the horse.

Naturally, these princes must also have a taste of this feeling.

In fact, there is no need for Zhou Ji to check at all.

Anyway, all the princes except Zhou Ji were involved.

Just retaliate randomly, you will never retaliate against the wrong person.

The two separated at the palace gate and got on their carriages.

Afterwards, Zhou Ji returned to the Prince's Mansion and Bai Qiu Ming returned to the post station.

Bai Qiu Ming opened the carriage curtain and entered the carriage, only to see Bai Yu Shuang already waiting inside.

Bai Yushuang was extremely excited when she saw Bai Qiu Ming.

This even scared Bai Qiu Ming.

"Control your excited expression, it's a bit scary." Bai Qiu Ming said seriously after sitting down.

Bai Yushuang didn't take it seriously at all: "Aman, let me tell you, someone really mentioned to me today that the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty loves lotus, and there are lotus patterns on all the items in the house."

"Oh? Who said that?" Bai Qiu Ming asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's the fourth prince Zhou Chen." Bai Yushuang said.

Bai Qiu Ming was not surprised.

"According to Aman, the fourth prince Zhou Chen should be the mastermind behind this, right?" Bai Yushuang asked.

"That's right." Bai Qiu Ming nodded.

"Hmph! He is such a bad guy." Bai Yushuang said angrily.

"By the way, now that we know it was him, we should let the Emperor of the Great Zhou judge the case and punish him." Bai Yushuang said.

Bai Qiuming shook his head and sighed: "My Seventeenth Sister, we have no evidence."
