Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

"What spy? He is Rou'er's good friend. He came here just for Rou'er."

Prince Jiu's brows were gloomy, and a huge rage was boiling in his heart.

What good friend? In his opinion, his royal brother was clearly on Lan Zhou's side.

He didn't want to stand against Lan Jin. After all, Lan Jin's mother had treated him well over the years. But if he was wholeheartedly on Lan Zhou's side, then he would have no reason to be soft-hearted.

However, now is not the best time to tear each other apart, so he endured it and said earnestly, "Royal brother said that these are good friends of the prince, and I will not make it difficult for you, but these people clearly have Rui Dynasty accents, and there is no guarantee that they are not people from Rui Dynasty who want to do something. As a brother, I advise you to consider it for the prince, so as not to be taken advantage of by outsiders."

Lan Jin smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, my royal brother. These are all good friends that Rou'er knew in the early years. There won't be any problems."

The thing that Prince Jiu couldn't stand most about Lan Jin was that this man's heart and eyes were full of women. He was like a cow being led by the nose, allowing Prince Huxiang to order him around.

It really undermines the dignity of men.

Now seeing his disappointing appearance, she became even more furious. She rolled her eyes several times in her heart, but she had to pretend to be calm on the surface.

Fortunately, Hu Xiang's civil strife has already begun, and it is still unknown who will win or lose.

If the faction of Lord Huxiang was defeated, he would then reward the great prince of Huxiang to his younger brother as a concubine. After a long time, when he had enjoyed the pleasure of conquest, he would not be afraid that he would not stand on his side.

Thinking about it, his tone became less harsh, "It's up to you. Anyway, as your elder brother, I have already said everything I should say. You just need to pay attention."

He sent someone to bring Gu Qinghe and the others out. They had not been locked up for long, and Ouyang Xia was still drunk.

He had no idea what he had been through and was sleeping soundly.

Ming Sheng had no choice but to carry her on his back.

The prince came over and asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

But the eldest prince still looked unhappy, and he looked at the ninth prince with a stern face, "I won't bother with you this time, but if there is a next time, I will definitely not give up."

Prince Jiu was unwilling in his heart, but he endured it on the surface. After all, he was the one who did something wrong. There were not many people in the court who supported him. If the matter was brought to the emperor, his reputation would inevitably be even worse.

At such a critical moment, Prince Jiu naturally did not want to cause trouble.

So the apology was quite sincere. "It was a misunderstanding. I heard that these people all spoke with Rui Dynasty accents and claimed to be good friends of the prince. That's why I became suspicious and brought them to the palace to be detained. If it was a misunderstanding, the prince will take them away. If they are indeed spies sent by the Rui Dynasty, the prince will not be deceived by these people."

He cleared himself of all blame.

Gu Qinghe sighed softly, "The Ninth Prince thinks that we are spies, but he still wants to take me into the palace as a concubine. I think he wants to keep me in the palace and supervise me personally, not because my sister is beautiful and caught the Ninth Prince's eye for a while."

Lan Jin's eyes immediately moved over, and before the Great Prince got angry, he asked, "Really?"

"It is a great blessing that this girl has caught the prince's eye. This was said by someone close to the prince himself. How could it be false?"

Prince Jiu glanced at Gu Qinghe with a deep gaze and memorized her appearance in his mind. Just wait, one day, he would tear this woman into pieces.

Gu Qinghe pretended not to see his gaze.

Such threats had no effect on her.

When we go to Huxiang the day after tomorrow, today's work will be regarded as a thank you for bothering Lan Zhou these days.

When they returned to the Prince's Mansion, the Lan Zhou brothers had already returned. Perhaps because they had heard about the few people being taken away by Prince Jiu, Lan Yu did not choose to go out and play with An Ning today, but stayed in the mansion waiting for Ouyang Xia.

Before the few people came back, Lan Yu was extremely anxious and dragged Lan Zhou to go to Prince Jiu's Mansion to look for someone. In the end, he was scolded by Lan Zhou and became obedient.

As soon as they entered the room, Lan Yu quickly rushed to them, frowned at Ouyang Xia who was carried by Ming Sheng, and poked her face with his hand, "Are you asleep?"

Ming Sheng stepped back and said, "Drunk."

For some reason, Lan Yu didn't like the way he took Ouyang Xia and hid behind, as if they were some kind of monster that needed to be avoided.

And Ouyang Xia had always protected him before.

So he deliberately glared at Ming Sheng and snorted, "I know."

Lan Zhou pulled him aside and said, "Miss Ouyang is drunk, let's send her to rest first."

The servant helped Ouyang Xia down from Ming Sheng's back. This man was indeed a man who never forgot to be romantic even when drunk. He woke up dazedly and hooked his finger at Ming Sheng with hazy eyes, "Hey, this guy is young enough, how about going back to the City Lord's Mansion with me?"

Gu Qinghe: “…”

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and quickly waved to the servants to take the person back to the room.

Lan Yu was about to follow him, but was stopped by a servant, "Your Highness, Miss Aning said she wanted to see you."

He immediately turned around and went to look for Miss Aning.

Gu Qinghe noticed that Mingsheng's ears were still hot, and thought to himself that it was over. If Mingxuan knew about this, she would probably hit him with a stick.

"Has Lord Jiu ever made things difficult for you?"

Lan Zhou pulled Gu Qinghe back to his senses and he shook his head, "No."

She looked at Lan Zhou steadily and pursed her lips. "This matter is neither big nor small. If Your Highness is interested, you can use this to suppress the Ninth Prince's momentum."

Lan Zhou shook his head. "This concerns a woman's reputation. How can you be so reckless?"

He knew what Gu Qinghe meant. After all, they were not from Yun country, and in the future, they would have nothing to do with Prince Jiu as they were far away from home. He could make use of this incident to lower Prince Jiu's arrogance in order to prevent him from causing trouble for himself no matter what.

She meant well, but he was unwilling to do it.

Gu Qinghe was speechless for a moment, then said solemnly, "When I met Your Highness in Chizhou before, I really didn't realize that Your Highness was such a kind person. However, I have heard a saying before that those who are ruthless and can seize every opportunity to climb up will go further."

Being ruthless does not mean being cruel and inhumane. Between Prince Jiu and Lan Zhou, Gu Qinghe obviously hopes that the latter will be the winner.

When she returned to her residence, Ming Sheng was waiting at the gate of her yard, holding an envelope in his hand, his face full of anticipation, "A letter from the general."

Seeing his excited expression, Gu Qinghe couldn't bear to let him go back first, so she simply opened the letter.

When this letter was written, the first battle had just been won.

Hu Xiang's sudden change of mind caught Li Rang off guard, but the war had already begun, so he had no choice but to fight.

However, there was already a huge quarrel in the Liyang Palace.
