Perhaps, Li Mingrui had the intention of taking a different path; he had thoughts of grasping military power, intending to overthrow the Lin family’s imperial power. Only in this way could the handwritten letter from Left Prime Minister Li Mao in her hands become worthless.
The more it was so, the more Bai Qingyan couldn’t let someone like Li Mingrui take the Anping Army from the Bai family.
In any era, military power was too important. Once it was in hand, how could it be easily let go?
As soon as she entered Boyun Courtyard, Nanny Qin, who had already prepared the clothes, waved her hand. The loyal servants of the Bai family immediately stepped forward to help Bai Qingyan change clothes. fгeewebnovёl.com
While tying the satin belt for Bai Qingyan, Nanny Qin said, "These clothes have been fumigated with medicinal broth. Now, madam is at the front holding down Eunuch Quan Yu from the Crown Prince’s residence. Madam said, after the constant reports of defeats in Daliang came, Eunuch Quan Yu visiting was either to invite the eldest young lady to come forward or to inform the eldest young lady that the Crown Prince was replacing the fourth young lady. This is to let the eldest young lady be mentally prepared so that the sudden replacement wouldn’t chill her heart! Madam instructed that the eldest young lady should be prepared to meet this Eunuch Quan Yu."
Bai Qingyan tilted her neck, letting Nanny Qin button her up, privately feeling that it was unlikely the Crown Prince sent Quan Yu to invite her to come forward. The Crown Prince valued his reputation... he knew her physical condition after the Imperial Physician diagnosed her at the Crown Prince’s residence, so unless it was a national crisis, the Crown Prince would never order her to lead the troops.
If the Crown Prince did so, he would certainly be criticized by the world for disregarding the life of his benefactor. Even if the Crown Prince wanted to, Elder Fang would advise against it.
After tidying up, Chun Tao applied pearl powder on Bai Qingyan’s lips, making her look even more pale and frail.
In the front hall, Quan Yu was sitting respectfully below Mrs. Dong, inquiring in great detail about Bai Qingyan’s health and presenting the precious tonic the Crown Prince had asked him to bring.
Mrs. Dong was talking to Quan Yu when she saw Bai Qingyan’s palanquin being carried in from outside. She looked towards the main hall entrance, and Quan Yu followed her gaze...
Seeing Bai Qingyan barely standing with the support of Chun Tao and Nanny Tong, Quan Yu was so shocked that he quickly got up, trotted forward, and bowed to Bai Qingyan, "This servant greets the Princess of Zhen! It’s entirely my fault. If the Crown Prince hadn’t sent a message to the Princess of Zhen, I wouldn’t dare disturb you!"
As he spoke, Quan Yu got up, took Bai Qingyan’s arm from Nanny Tong, and cautiously led her into the main hall.
The strong medicinal scent from Bai Qingyan filled Quan Yu’s nostrils. Holding her thin wrist, he noticed it was even thinner than before in Dadu City, which made his eyes red and teary.
