Bai Ren himself didn't know how to go back to the mansion, but he was in a daze all the way until the servant asked him to get out of the sedan chair. Bai Ren walked out of the sedan chair, still holding Qi Xiaogang's documents to send him.

The attendant also noticed Bai Ren's expressions were strange and asked in a low voice: "Criminal...Criminal? Is it uncomfortable?"

"No..." Bai Ren shook his head and turned to look at the servant guarding in front of Yi's gate. "Is Chaoge back?"

The servant quickly agreed: "I just came back, I'm probably in the study now."

"Okay..." Bai Ren nodded, clenched his hands unnaturally, and stepped into the art door without changing his clothes, heading straight to the study.

On the veranda outside the study, several little maids were making a girl. When Bairen saw Bairen coming, he gave a hurried salute. Bairen's voice was hoarse: "Everyone is out... look out for the gate of the courtyard, and no one is allowed to come in..."

Seeing that Bai Ren's expression was not good, the little maids dared not ask more questions, so they agreed repeatedly, and Fu Wu Fu left. Bai Ren took a deep breath and pushed the door into the study.

In the study, Cen Chaoge was sorting out the book case for Bai Ren. Bai Ren didn't like others touching his own things since he was a child, and the four treasures of the study were particularly good. He was willing to let Cen Chaoge touch these things, and he always wanted to let Cen Chaoge touch them since he was a child.

Cen Chaoge smiled when he saw Bai Ren coming back: "So quickly? What do the prince say?"

Bai Ren slowly approached, handed the dispatch document in his hand to Cen Chaoge, and said slowly: "The prince... let me give this to you..."

Cen Chaoge paused and took it, and was happy at first, then quickly calmed down his expression, frowned and said anxiously: "What's going on? How could I have my name here?! Whose idea is this... No, I have to go find them, how can I leave..."

Cen Chaoge raised his foot and was about to walk out. Bai Ren watched him act in a wooden manner, and suddenly felt extremely disgusting. He was so angry that he just wanted to come back and confront Cen Chaoge. He asked him clearly, but now he didn't want to hear anything. He just said tiredly: "There is also this... Xixiang collected 15,000 taels of silver notes..."

Cen Chaoge's heart skipped a beat, and hesitated to take the silver bill, Bai Ren smiled bitterly: "Chao Ge... If you want to leave, just say that, will I stop you?"

"Bai Ren, no..." Cen Chaoge knew that something was wrong when he saw the silver bill. He didn't know how much Bai Ren knew, and his face became purple, but he didn't dare to say more, for fear of saying too much, so he went up to pull Bai Ren's hand, "Bai Ren, listen to me, I'm just..."

Bai Ren pulled away his hand in disgust and looked at Cen Chaoge coldly: "What are you just? You said."

"I..." Cen Chaoge paused and said dejectedly, "Bai Ren... You know, I am my father's only son. I have been here for a month now. You also know what the situation here is. If there is a case, my Cen family will be defeated... Bai Ren, if it is only me, I will go through fire and water for you, but I am not only alone, but also the Cen family behind me..."

Bai Ren felt tired after hearing the first sentence and smiled faintly: "What did you say about this? If you want to leave, will I not allow it? What did I say in Lingnan before, and how did you answer me? Have you forgotten?"

Cen Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and his face became more and more embarrassing. Bai Ren slowly recalled: "I said... Chaoge, I will probably not come back this time. Our friendship before... You just think it was a joke when you were young. From now on, I don't know when I will see you again. Take care of each other, you said..."

Bairen's voice was hoarse: "You said, you will never forget it in your life. No matter where I go... You will follow you, but if you don't protect your destiny in the future, you will die in the same place. Just think that it has fulfilled the friendship of all these years. If God opens his eyes and there will be one day when he comes back, I will be the king and you will continue to protect me... Chaoge, if it was two months ago, you wouldn't have forgotten it?"

Cen Chaoge was ashamed of shame, turned his head and did not dare to look at Bai Ren. Bai Ren somehow had all his anger after saying this, and he didn't want to tell anything about Cen anymore. He smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "I don't blame you. I didn't want you to come. This month... you have also suffered a lot of grievances with me, and none of us owed anyone."

Bai Ren had no strength on his body, so he turned around and walked out. Cen Chaoge hesitated for a while, but still did not follow him.

In the prince's mansion, Qi Xiao was reading the documents in front of the book case and listening to Jiang Deqing's words from the spy. When he heard Cen Chaoge's vows and accomplices, Qi Xiao couldn't help but smile: "What did he say that?"

Jiang Deqing nodded: "This is the prince's original words, and it is not bad at all."

Qi Xiao was amazed: "I underestimated Cen Chaoge before, and his eloquence is better than the storytellers."

Jiang Deqing smiled: "It's a pity that it's just a word that the couple are the same birds in the forest, and they fly away from each other when the disaster comes. Besides, he and the prince are nothing, but just a momentary indignation when they don't know the world is high."

Qi Xiao laughed sarcastically and didn't say anything again. Jiang Deqing stepped forward to grind Qi Xiao and asked softly: "Your Highness...when will you tell the prince about that?"

Qi Xiao paused, his thin lips pursed slightly. Seeing that Qi Xiao was hesitant, Jiang Deqing said with the flow: "Otherwise, wait a few more days, so that the prince can slow down. This one is enough for him to bear it. Hi... After all, he is still a fifteen-year-old child, so pitiful."

Qi Xiao was a little sad about Bai Ren, but for some reason he became even more ruthless after hearing Jiang Deqing's words, and sneered: "Fifteen years old? I suffered more than this when I was fifteen. I am not the one who cherishes me, so I don't need to take it anymore."

Jiang Deqing regretted that he said the wrong thing and smiled: "Your Highness said this... If everyone is as tough as your highness, how can we distinguish between different situations? Forget it, as long as your highness is happy, then... I will go to the Lingnan Prince's Mansion to talk to the prince tomorrow?"

Qi Xiao smiled faintly: "No need, I will tell him myself."

"This..." Jiang Deqing was silent, "What do you need servants to do? The prince is very kind and I am afraid there is nothing good to say when he hears this. Your Highness will let the servants go and explain the truth with the prince. When the prince understands it, he will naturally come. Why should you stand up and be this evil person?"

Qi Xiao stacked the documents and smiled mockingly: "I'm not a bad person anymore? Why do you think you are pretending to be as hypocritical as Cen Chaoge? What's the point?"

Jiang Deqing couldn't do it, so he had to agree.

After the morning court the next day, Qi Xiao ordered someone to go to the Lingnan Prince's Mansion to invite Bai Ren. The person who was passing the message was vague and said that the "good news" mentioned by the prince yesterday was so obvious. Bai Ren could not sit still when he heard this. Although he felt uncomfortable because of Cen Chaoge's affairs, he immediately changed his clothes and rushed over.

Qi Xiao invited the person to the study room this time. Bai Ren entered the study room and bowed according to the routine. Qi Xiao stepped forward and helped the person up. He held Bai Ren's wrist and smiled gently: "You don't have to be too polite, sit down."

Bai Ren did not doubt that he was there, and sat down with his clothes. Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren's face carefully and smiled and said, "Did the prince not sleep well yesterday? He is a little blue now."

"No... Wen Shu was a little late yesterday." Bai Ren forced a smile, "I heard that the prince already knew about that?"

Qi Xiao nodded: "Yes, after hearing your words yesterday, I sent someone to the palace to ask Princess Dunsu. It turned out that this was true. Let's say... Haha, Bai Ren, we are about to become relatives."

Bai Ren didn't expect Qi Xiao to say so happily. The draft he had made before was useless. He paused and asked, "But I don't know... is the princess from Lingnan so lucky?"

Qi Xiao smiled but did not answer, turned to look at Jiang Deqing. Jiang Deqing knew his intentions and led the servants to retreat. Qi Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and slowly said, "I was still worried about why the prince was so concerned about this matter. I learned a little after asking clearly yesterday. The prince... probably doesn't want his legitimate sister to marry the orphan?"

Bai Ren's heart skipped a beat and said with apologizing: "The prince is joking. It's a great blessing to marry the prince, but..." Bai Ren thought that Qi Xiao was a very difficult person to talk to, and everything had to go around in circles. It was harder to ask the truth than to climb the sky. Who knew that Qi Xiao was straightforward today and did whatever he said, "I don't know how to deal with Bai Ren when I saw Bai Ren, and he smiled awkwardly, and said gently: "The prince doesn't have to say good-sounding perfunctory Gu. To be honest, if Gu also has a legitimate sister, he probably wouldn't want her to marry far away."

Bai Ren was stunned for a moment, and Qi Xiao continued to laugh and said, "This is nothing to say. It's just human nature. My daughter's family has many difficulties after getting married. If she gets a good family and is closer to her parents' home, she will have a support in the future. If she is like Princess Roujia... comes from all the way to be a concubine for me, it is probably the most unsatisfactory woman's marriage."

Bai Ren never thought that Qi Xiao could be so reasonable, so he paused and said, "The prince is kind and said everything Bai Ren wants to say. To be honest, Bai Ren only has this sister and he are the same mother as him. The love between him is no different. Moreover, Rou Jia is too gentle and has a good body. He really can't enjoy the great blessing of the royal family. Bai Ren only hopes that Rou Jia can find an ordinary husband in the future and live a lifetime with plenty of food and clothing. Other things... Bai Ren really dares not think about it."

Qi Xiao sighed in his heart, he was still too young. He just said a thoughtful word and put all his weaknesses out. If he let him go, he would be useless.

Qi Xiao smiled: "What will the prince go?"

Bai Ren stood up and knelt respectfully, lowered his eyes and whispered: "The marriage is not necessary for soft and kindness. Bai Ren also has a sister, namely Princess Kang Tai, who was just awarded the title last year, dare not deceive the prince. Kang Tai is a concubine, but except for being a little different from the word "legal and illegitimate", there is no other point to criticize. The prince... If the prince can accomplish Bai Ren and go through fire and water in the future, he will never refuse."

Qi Xiao looked at Bai Ren and smiled playfully, and did not say anything to agree, and did not make people get up. After a while, he smiled slowly and said, "Bai Ren... You understand it yourself. The father, mother and eldest princess already know this. It is not easy to change a princess..."

A thin layer of sweat oozed out of Bairen's forehead, and his tone became more and more respectful: "It's Bairen's unruly, but... I hope the prince will fulfill his wish."
