Chapter 489 The calm before the storm

 Later, Zhang Yilan sent someone to send a message, saying that he suddenly felt unwell and asked to return to the main city first.

It was Fan Qingyao who was having dinner with Baili Fengming when he heard the news. He did not reply immediately, but looked up at the multifaceted man.

 Baili Fengming seemed not to have heard anything and put a chopstick of stir-fried pork into her plate, "Have a taste. Today's stir-fried pork is very smooth and tender."

Fan Qingyao still looked at the man opposite, "What do you think?"

 Baili Fengming raised his head with a half-smile but looked at her, "What do you want from me?"

Fan Qingyao said seriously, "Maybe you can show mercy to her, or you can appease her heart. Of course, if you do nothing, don't blame me for being ruthless to her."

The words were meant as a joke, but Fan Qingyao was not really joking.

Although Zhang Yilan is not popular with others, his childhood friendship with Baili Fengming is real.

In the case of Mu Yan, no matter how hard Fan Qingyao tried, Baili Fengming never stopped him. This is respect.

Now of course Fan Qingyao also wants to respect Baili Fengming. If he wants to stay, she will not push him away.

Of course, this does not mean that she doubts Baili Fengming's attitude towards Zhang Yilan.

She was just worried that Baili Fengming had other plans.

 Baili Fengming said Shi Shiran, "The second young lady of the Zhang family can stay or leave as you like."

Fan Qingyao was stunned.

Even if Baili Fengming is suspected by the emperor, his identity is still the crown prince who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Therefore, there are not many people who can give Baili Fengming the honorific title.

However, Fan Qingyao doesn't think Baili Fengming really respects Zhang Yilan by calling him this way.

 I’m just afraid…

 He completely forgot about Zhang Yilan’s name.

Fan Qingyao found it hard to imagine that if Zhang Yilan knew that the person she had always loved deeply didn't even know her name, she didn't know what his expression would be like.

Of course, Fan Qingyao would not bother to think too much about a person whose name Baili Fengming could not even remember. He simply agreed to Zhang Yilan's request and let her return to the main city.

Fighting with Zhang Yilan is one thing, but as long as the Zhang family does not interfere in this matter, Fan Qingyao will not harm Chiyu.

 Nowadays, the DPRK is in turmoil. Let alone one more person, even one more passerby is always better than one more enemy.

At the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the princes were ready to go back to the main city.

 In addition to the eldest prince who was still recovering from his injuries in Zhuangzi, the princes and concubines in the palace also followed him.

 At the same time, Fan Qingyao received letters from his uncles.

There wasn’t much else in the letter, just to report peace.

 Today's Hua family men do appear as gangsters, but they have never had any involvement in the mines in Huaishang.

At the same time as the uncles were delivering the letter, a large sum of money was quietly handed over to the emperor from the mine side.

As a result, the emperor will not easily send people to Huaishang to suppress the bandits.

 After all, no one wants the mine’s affairs to be made public more than the emperor.

Fan Qingyao knew that the news of Baili Fengming's awakening after the gangsters was firstly to rub salt into Baili Rongze's wounds, but more importantly, it was to stabilize the emperor first and prevent him from Secretly attack Huaishang.

Even if the uncles now do not threaten the mine, their existence is still a thorn in the emperor's side.

But Baili Fengming's awakening had to make the emperor give up the idea of ​​​​taking action against his uncles secretly.

 After all, Baili Fengming used to handle all matters in Huaishang. Now, no matter what the emperor wants to do, he will consult with Baili Fengming first.

 To put it bluntly, even if the emperor really wanted to take action against Huaishang, he would have to let Baili Fengming take the blame.

 In this case, the emperor will wait for Baili Fengming to recover before discussing this matter.

Fan Qingyao lit the candlestick and threw the letters from his uncles into it.

 Looking at the letters that were swallowed up by the flames, Fan Qingyao's heart was still uneasy.

In total, the news of Baili Fengming's awakening should have reached the main city long ago, but there was no movement at all from the main city.

I have to say, it’s really quiet. It’s so quiet that it’s hard to feel at ease.

Handless with clear joints, he extinguished the still burning candlestick.

 Then, the hand stretched out towards Fan Qingyao's slender waist.

With a slight pull, Fan Qingyao bumped into the embrace beside him.

"What are you thinking about?" Baili Fengming lowered his eyes slightly and rested his chin gently on the top of her head.

Fan Qingyao raised her face, looked into his eyes as deep as a deep pool, and shook her head gently. She was just flustered for no reason, and she definitely didn't want him to worry with her.

 Baili Fengming didn't ask any further questions. He just tightened his arms and fixed her in his arms. "Go to sleep for a while. I'll call you when we have dinner."

Fan Qingyao knew that such fantasies were just in vain, so he nodded and closed his eyes against the warm chest.

 Baili Fengming held her in his arms as her breathing gradually became evener, with bottomless black eyes.

It was indeed too quiet during this period, and it was inevitable that she would be worried.

And her intuition was right, the more quiet the sign, the more violent storms would follow.

Fan Qingyao slept deeply. When he opened his eyes again, he heard a noise in the yard.

 Opening my eyes, there was a faint light from the fire in the room.

 “Are you awake?” A familiar voice sounded softly.

Fan Qingyao propped up his body and looked at Baili Fengming beside him, "What time is it?"

 “It’s Shenshi 2:00.” Baili Fengming stood up and rubbed his numb arms.

The noise outside was still vaguely audible. Fan Qingyao subconsciously looked out the window and heard Baili Fengming's voice ringing again, "The people sent by the father have arrived. They have just arrived outside the palace."

Fan Qingyao was not very surprised when he heard the news.

Baili Rongze disappointed the emperor, and it is not surprising that the emperor, now helpless with Huaishang, thought of Baili Fengming.

It's just that people sent by the emperor should not be ignored. Baili Fengming was still recovering from illness and could not be summoned, but as the crown prince, she still had to come out to greet them in person.

 After adjusting his clothes, Fan Qingyao walked out of the palace.

I happened to see Lin Yi slowly entering the yard with a few people.

Fan Qingyao looked at the clothes of these people, all of them were the Yuanbao clothes of the eunuchs in the palace, and just stood there without moving.

As long as she is not holding an official position, even if she is a palace servant in front of the emperor, there is no need for her to take the initiative to welcome and show her kindness.

When several palace servants walked up to the Crown Princess, they all knelt on the ground to say hello, "I'm here to say hello to the Crown Princess."

Fan Qingyao smiled politely and distantly and said, "Several father-in-laws have come from afar. I'm afraid they're exhausted, so get up quickly."

While speaking, he personally took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeves and handed them to the palace maid next to him. The palace maid hurriedly handed over the banknotes to several eunuchs.

The eunuchs didn't expect that the princess, looking at her young age, could be so experienced in treating others, and the smile on her face suddenly became even bigger.

The leading **** also took the initiative and said, "The servants are all on duty in front of the emperor. They came to the palace to deliver medicinal materials to His Royal Highness. The Emperor is thinking about the Prince deeply and only hopes that His Highness can wake up safely."

Hearing this, Fan Qingyao frowned.

wrong.

 According to the time, the emperor must have learned the news of Baili Fengming's awakening.

Considering that the emperor urgently needs Baili Fengming now, he will definitely send someone to inform the palace attendants as soon as he receives the news. He will never let the palace attendants make such a low-level mistake and let Baili Fengming Ming thought the emperor was negligent and indifferent to him.

 But looking at the palace people in front of them, it seems that they really don’t know Baili Fengming is awake yet.

So what exactly is the problem?

 “I don’t know how many father-in-laws…”

Fan Qingyao was just about to open his mouth to test, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice at the entrance of the yard.

 “Where is my apprentice? Where is my little apprentice!”

Fan Qingyao followed the sound and was stunned when he saw the person walking this way accompanied by Shaoxuan.

Master? !
