Chapter 452: Chapter 449: My Life Will Not Last Long_1

She furrowed her brows and said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, yesterday, Aunt Lu took my pulse at the Royal Qing Temple and advised me to rest and not to overexert myself. Otherwise, I may harm my health. Jinzhi wanted to take on the task of eradicating the bandits from my hands. However, as Jinzhi is still young, I was worried and did not agree. I did not expect this child to be bold and reckless. Today, he even dared to show off his cleverness before Your Majesty, wanting to take on this task through Your Majesty’s words."

"Eldest Young Lady deceives the Emperor! Aunt Lu clearly said... If the Eldest Young Lady continues to overexert herself, she might not live long!" Bai Jinzhi, with tears in her eyes, kowtowed to the Emperor and the Crown Prince. "Uncle Emperor, Cousin Crown Prince! It’s not that Jinzhi is bold and reckless. Grandfather, father, and uncles have all died on the battlefield, and Jinzhi doesn’t want to lose the Eldest Young Lady! Please, Uncle Emperor, make a decision and entrust the task of eradicating the bandits to Jinzhi! Jinzhi will surely do a good job! It won’t be worse than how the Eldest Young Lady would handle it. Please give Jinzhi a chance to prove herself!"

The Emperor trusted Lu Ninghuan’s medical skills.

Not much time left to live? The Emperor fondled the round pillow, thinking carefully.

"Jinzhi, it was I who promised the people of Shuoyang to eradicate the bandits. By crying to His Majesty and the Crown Prince in this manner, aren’t you putting them in a difficult situation?" Bai Qingyan scolded Bai Jinzhi.

"The Lord of Gaoyi has good intentions too!" the Emperor spoke slowly. "After the Princess of Zhen returns to Shuoyang, she must take good care of herself. Health comes first! The task of eradicating the bandits will be entrusted to the Lord of Gaoyi."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor!" Bai Jinzhi quickly kowtowed, fearing any delay might bring change.

In July of the sixteenth year of Xuanjia, the Jin Kingdom won a great victory against Daliang.

The Princess of Zhen, Bai Qingyan, was conferred the title of Princess of Zhen, becoming the only woman in Jin Kingdom’s history to be conferred the title of princess through her martial achievements.

The Lord of Gaoyi, Bai Jinzhi, was conferred the title of Princess of Gaoyi.

Commander Liu Hong was conferred the title of Great General of Pacification, and other participating commanders were all rewarded.

The Crown Prince personally escorted Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi out of the palace, smiling: "When the Imperial Edict comes later today, you will have to address each other as Princess of Zhen and Princess of Gaoyi."

"Uncle Emperor is truly too generous! I was originally planning to exchange the title of Princess for silver taels. I didn’t expect... Uncle Emperor to give me both the title and silver! From now on, won’t I walk sideways in Shuoyang City..." Bai Jinzhi said casually.

"Bai Jinzhi..." Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinzhi.

Bai Jinzhi quickly forced a laugh: "Just joking! Just joking!"

The Crown Prince was also amused by Bai Jinzhi: "The Imperial Edict hasn’t arrived today. The Princess and the Lord cannot set off for Shuoyang. If the Princess can still manage, why not... visit the Crown Prince’s residence? I have something to ask the Princess."

Bai Qingyan nodded and turned to Bai Jinzhi: "You go back to the mansion first."

Bai Jinzhi looked to the Crown Prince for help: "Cousin Crown Prince, remember to say good things about me to my Eldest Young Lady, so she won’t scold me!"

The Crown Prince smiled more deeply and nodded: "Rest assured, Lord. I will!"

Bai Jinzhi bowed and boarded the carriage.
