"General Fu, please sit down. Coming here at this hour, is there something urgent?"
Bai Qingyan’s steady and clear voice came from inside. It wasn’t as weak as Fu Ruoxi had imagined, which made Fu Ruoxi breathe a sigh of relief.
Fu Ruoxi stood up and was invited by Bai Jinxiu to sit on a round stool. He said to Bai Qingyan behind the screen: "Today, I have come for two matters to inform the Princess of Zhen. Three days ago, Quan Yu, the eunuch by the Crown Prince’s side, came to inform me to make preparations... the Crown Prince intends, after the Crown Princess Consort gives birth, to raise the matter of letting me lead the Patrol Camp while His Majesty is in a good mood."
"This is the Crown Prince bestowing a favor upon you. You should be grateful and thankful..." Bai Qingyan’s voice carried a smile.
"I naturally expressed my loyalty to Quan Yu and also praised the Crown Prince’s magnanimity and lack of past grievances. Fu Ruoxi will do his best to be loyal to the Crown Prince for the rest of his life," Fu Ruoxi said.
Fu Ruoxi was a perceptive person. Since Bai Qingyan had saved him, he had sworn loyalty to her. The Bai family held more value in loyalty and promises than the Imperial Family!
Otherwise, Madam Fu would not have sought out the Princess of Zhen in the first place.
But now, on the surface, Bai Qingyan pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince. Naturally, Fu Ruoxi had to follow suit.
In Fu Ruoxi’s eyes, the Crown Prince was just a prince who liked to hear flattery and was somewhat arrogant, which was not difficult to deal with.
"Today, after returning from the Crown Prince’s residence, I heard that the Crown Princess Consort has gone into labor. It seems that good fortune will come to you, General Fu..." Bai Qingyan said.
Fu Ruoxi maintained a calm demeanor and asked Bai Qingyan, "Does the Princess of Zhen have any arrangements for the Patrol Camp? Is it necessary to place some people inside?" freёwebnoѵel.com
When a new official takes office, they often take bold measures. If Fu Ruoxi were to take over the Patrol Camp, he would naturally want to make some commotion. This was a good opportunity to place his own people there. Since Fu Ruoxi was now a follower of the Princess of Zhen, he naturally wanted to ask Bai Qingyan if there were any people she wanted to place inside.
Furthermore, Fu Ruoxi, having joined halfway, did this to show his loyalty to Bai Qingyan, making her feel at ease putting people by his side.
Both were smart people. How could Bai Qingyan not understand Fu Ruoxi’s intentions? She said, "General Fu, handle this matter as you see fit. You must... ensure that the Patrol Camp is under your control. The Bai family has always trusted those they use and doesn’t use those they doubt. Since General Fu is willing to join forces with the Bai family, I naturally trust General Fu."
Fu Ruoxi was slightly stunned. Emotions surged within him. In his memory, the Bai family and their army were just like this!
"Fu Ruoxi will definitely not betray the trust of the Princess of Zhen," Fu Ruoxi solemnly vowed.
"What’s the second matter?" Bai Qingyan asked.
