After Qin Xuechuan left, Xiao Yu suddenly coughed violently.

After Dai Qing heard the voice in the room, he hurried in: "Senior, how are you?"

Xiao Yu shook his hand at him at this moment: "I'm fine, you step back."

Dai Qing frowned when he heard his reluctance: "Didn't the prince tell His Royal Highness the truth?"

Xiao Yu laughed when he heard this question: "Dai Qing, how long have you been with me?"

Dai Qing immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, my subordinates have been protecting you by my side since I was young."

Xiao Yu looked at him at the moment, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Then you should know that I don't like to ask more questions from servants."

Dai Qing saw that he was angry, so he quickly knelt down: "My son... this subordinate is just worried about you..."

Xiao Yu chuckled lightly: "Why are you worried about me?"

Dai Qing was stunned at the moment, he seemed to have something to hide.

Xiao Yu saw his embarrassed expression, so he said again: "You have been with me since childhood, so I allow you to tell the truth."

Hearing what he said, Dai Qing quickly raised his head to look at him: "My lord, why do you have to sacrifice your life for such a ruthless person?"

Xiao Yu looked down at him: "What else? What do you think I should do?"

Seeing the sullen expression on his face at this moment, Dai Qing said again: "This subordinate dare not."

Xiao Yu sighed lightly, and said again: "Okay, you get up first."

After finishing speaking, Dai Qing stood up and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Yu raised his head at this moment: "Prince——is an indispensable pawn in our game, so no matter what method we use, we must win over him, and I must hold him firmly."

Dai Qing froze for a moment after hearing what he said: "This subordinate is stupid, please enlighten me!"

Xiao Yu looked at him at this moment and said with a smile: "I am indeed reckless in this plan, but if someone is willing to take care of the aftermath for me, I will naturally enjoy myself. By the way, has your father sent a letter recently?"

Dai Qing replied at this moment: "The letter sent by the prince is still the same as usual, please stay in Fengdu to wait for the opportunity."

Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly when he heard this... This sentence again, he has heard this sentence for countless times, but the opportunity still hasn't come.

It seems that Qin Yuan still can't die now, but the prince is weak like an ant, who may be crushed to death at any time.They put all their bets on Qin Luochuan, but no one ever cared about the prince Qin Xuechuan.

Now that Qin Xuechuan has done so many things, he has shown his sharpness, although when Xiao Yu came to Fengdu, Linchuan King Zeng Qianqian told him to stay away from the prince, but he just refused to listen.

Since the king of Linchuan chose to imprison him in this huge Fengdu, he can also choose someone who he can bet on.Apart from these, maybe he has other goals, but before these goals are achieved, he is still a helpless pawn.

***

In mid-April, Concubine Shu committed suicide.And her two children were also neglected by the emperor, so her children no longer threatened Qin Xuechuan.

Qin Xuechuan is well aware of the tricks in the palace, Concubine Shu's death is definitely not that simple, maybe because she offended people before, so everyone will step on her when she falls down.

After the downfall of Concubine Shu, Qin Yuan handed over the power of commanding the harem to Concubine Xiao Xian, who was usually gentle and virtuous. Concubine Xiao Xian treated others generously and was quite popular in the harem.So she manages the harem, and everyone in the harem is quite convinced.

It's just that, the Xiao family became more and more powerful. Qin Yuan was always afraid of the Xiao family, but now he is willing to let the harem be taken care of by Concubine Xiao Xian. Presumably he must have something in mind.

And at this moment, Qin Xuechuan wrote to the emperor, asking Xiao Yu to go and defend his fief.After he met Xiao Yu that day, he went back and thought about it for a long time. What Xiao Yu did was full of loopholes, and it was inevitable that he would not show his flaws in the future.For Xiao Yu's safety, and also for his freedom, Qin Xuechuan decided to let him go to guard the fief on the border of Dachu.

And Qin Yuan also intends to send Xiao Yu away from Fengdu at this moment. After all, it is not good that there are too many people from the Xiao family in Fengdu.Although Concubine Xiao Xian was his concubine, he would never trust anyone. Even though Concubine Xiao Xian had kept her duty for so many years, he never gave Concubine Xiao Xian any overweight rights.

This time, Qin Yuan handed over the management of the harem to Concubine Xiao Xian, which strengthened the power of the Xiao clan.If Xiao Yu had stayed in Fengdu at this time, there was no guarantee that he would not become the next minister who conspired against him.But the emperor was very suspicious, he still couldn't send the son of King Linchuan back to his side, although he knew that Xiao Rong didn't care about this son, but after all he would take care of his own son.

But on the road to power and profit, what is a son?

Only he knows what Qin Yuan has done with his son.

Qin Xuechuan knew that people like them who were chasing after power would not take flesh and blood in their eyes.

***

After Qin Xuechuan wrote the letter, Qin Yuan responded to Qin Xuechuan's request and ordered Xiao Yu to guard his fief and not return to Beijing unless called.

Outside Dachu Fengdu, there is a long river two hundred miles away from the city.This river meanders from here to Qinchuan, bypasses the tributaries of Qinchuan and flows to other countries, and this river is the lifeblood of Dachu's water.

This river and lake that is related to Chu and other countries is called Bi'a River.

This river has also been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, especially the area near Qinchuan, where wars have been frequent.

Xiao Yu wanted to go to his fiefdom, so naturally he had to take a carriage to the Bi'a River and take a boat away from here.

In April, the willows are green and the catkins are flying.

When the horse's hoof fell to the ground, white catkins splashed, and Xiao Yu rode his own horse galloping on the road in Fengdu.He forgot how long ago he was riding a horse outside so freely, and he finally left Fengdu.

And it was Qin Xuechuan who perfected him.

***

When Xiao Yu walked to Bi'a River, he saw officials in front of him to greet him. These were the officials sent by the emperor to handle the fief affairs with Xiao Yu.

To put it bluntly, they were dealing with affairs together, and to put it bluntly, they were monitoring him.

As soon as Xiao Yu got off his horse, all the officials wearing black gauze hats came to him and saluted one after another: "I will see you, my son."

When Xiao Yu saw those people, he immediately understood what was going on.He understood very well, how could someone like the emperor let him go so easily?

Xiao Yu handed the reins to his servants: "Are you sent by His Majesty?"

Those people flattered: "Your Majesty is really smart, and the officials are the ones sent by His Majesty to assist you in handling fief affairs."

Xiao Yu pretended to be indifferent: "Oh, then you must be very familiar with it?"

At this moment, suddenly there was a treacherous man with two beards on his mouth, raised his head and replied: "It's natural to report back to Your Majesty. Presumably His Majesty has given you instructions before His Majesty's arrival?"

Xiao Yu put on a condescending look at this moment: "Hmph, my aunt is now a virtuous concubine, in charge of the affairs of the harem. My father is also doing his best for His Majesty outside the pass, so His Majesty naturally values ​​our Xiao family."

Those officials hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! What the prince said is true!"

Xiao Yu said again: "My son has spent a lot of time seeking pleasure and questioning, so I have never paid attention to what your majesty said, but it's also good for you to come. What I hate most is a group of people who are talking about me in my ears. Yelling and barking like a dog!"

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, the faces of those officials turned dark.

Even so, they still had to say: "Yes, yes, the son is right."

At this moment, another person dressed as a court lady stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, your things will be transported in a carriage. Your Majesty said that you should leave early to reach the fief, so I arranged for these people to take you to the waterway."

After hearing this, Xiao Yu made a bow towards the back road: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a familiar little maid among the crowd. He seemed to have seen this maid before in Qin Xuechuan's palace...it seemed to be his personal maid.

At this moment, the court lady dressed as an ordinary court lady mixed in with the send-off team.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu coughed twice: "Now I feel a little uncomfortable, you all stand back, I am here to walk alone to get some air."

Those people turned pale when they heard what he said: "Your Majesty... But this hour cannot be delayed."

Xiao Yu turned his head and glared at the man fiercely at this moment: "What? If something happened to me and it got to the ears of His Majesty and my father, can you bear the crime?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the palace man withdrew quickly: "Yes, I understand, but please hurry up and come back, Your Highness, so that we can leave before dawn!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yu pretended to be nonchalant and took a few steps forward: "Got it."

After finishing speaking, the maids and the guards who saw him off all turned their heads and avoided them.

When Xiao Yu left, he gave the court lady a look.And that court lady was also very clever, and she understood Xiao Yu's meaning immediately, so she quietly retreated from the crowd and walked to the side path.

Xiao Yu circled around and came back again, at this moment he happened to see the maid from Qin Xuechuan Palace standing in the bushes beside the path waiting for him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu's face suddenly showed uncontrollable joy, and he hurried over: "Is the prince here?"

Herring saluted Xiao Yu at this moment, and then she took out a willow branch from the bundle behind her without saying a word.

The creases of this willow branch seem to still see bright green juice, as if it was just broken off.

Herring handed the willow branch to Xiao Yu: "His Royal Highness broke it with his own hands. His Highness ordered the servants to deliver it to the Crown Prince himself."
