In the capital, the Crown Prince held Gan Yuxuan's imperial report and didn't speak for a long time. He had thought that by taking advantage of what Helian Manqiu had done, she would be able to force her to submit to him.

He gave an imperial edict to express his gratitude to Helian Manqiu. He wanted her to understand that everything was in his hands. He only wanted that astonishingly beautiful young man to kneel down at his feet, asking for his favor and to bow down before him!

The last time, he was even more unwilling to personally write back to him. He threw his messenger in the middle of the mountain and went to Binzhou to beg for forgiveness from Gan Qianxuan.

Now, this memorial had completely erased all of the guilt from Zhenbei Marquis' body, leaving only glorious merit.

"Is the Duke of Zhenbei in Binzhou now?"

"Reporting to the Crown Prince, the Duke of Zhenbei went to Binzhou to beg for forgiveness. He was captured and tied up by Duke Qing Tian, and was sent to prison to reflect on his mistakes."

"In prison. The Duke of Zhenbei is now a marquis. He has a feudal fiefdom, so the Duke of Qingtian has no authority to punish him for crimes."

"Yes, that was originally the case. However, the Duke of Zhenbei volunteered to come to Binzhou to beg for forgiveness. He was willing to accept Duke Qing Tian as his master, allowing him to bestow punishment as he pleased. It is not too much to punish a subordinate for violating the military order. "

"Why do you think Helian Qingyu did this? Could it be that he would rather bow down to the heavens and accept this prince's kindness? "

"This, this old servant can't see through the duke's intentions. Although this person is young, his scheming is unfathomable." This old official thinks that the Emperor is the ruler of the Northern Frontier and that Helian Qingyu is also in the Northern Frontier. Although he has a high position and power, he is not on par with the Emperor. Even though Jing Bei was given to him, he is still being controlled secretly by Gan Gong Xuan. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Northern Frontier, he has no choice but to lower his head and submit to Duke Xi Tian. "

"With the imperial court backing him up, why would he do this with this crown prince protecting him?"

"Reporting to the crown prince, this matter is not that simple. The northern border is far from the capital, and if it were in the capital, the crown prince could keep Lian Wei safe and sound. With the help of the imperial government and the crown prince, he would be able to establish himself in the imperial court."

The crown prince coldly slammed the imperial edict onto the table, "Gan Yuxuan is only my official. Send out the decree to summon Helian Qingyu to report on his duty in the capital to express his gratitude."

"Yes, this old subject will obey. Crown Prince, please calm your anger. Allow this old man to speak."

"Speak!"

With his experienced eyes, how could he not see that the number one beautiful young man of the Great Hengkong Empire, who was arrogant and proud, was not a person who would be forced by the Crown Prince to be his favorite subject?

"Helian Qingyu is currently Uncle Zhen Bei, his position and power is that of an important official of the imperial government. What kind of beautiful young man or beauty does the crown prince want? There is no need to waste so much effort on him. If he is willing to understand the Crown Prince's intentions, then it would be fine. Otherwise, he would definitely stir up trouble and ask him to distance himself from the Crown Prince. "

"I have never been able to get what I want and what I want!"

The crown prince held the table and stood up. He waved his hand and laughed arrogantly, "The land of the Great Hengkong is in the palm of my hand. The land of the Great Hengkong is in the palm of my hand.

The Right Prime Minister bowed his head and said, "The Crown Prince is right, and there is no need for us to rush things. Helian Qingyu is the best person to restrain Duke Yi, and since the Crown Prince has shown kindness in nurturing him, he should be able to control him, and let him know that he is just a servant of the Crown Prince. Only in this way will he understand who his true master is. "

"Say, since Helian Qingyu is like this, what thoughts do you have towards Gan Gongxuan?"

"This... "This old official has heard that Young Master Qing Tian is not a manly man. Even women rarely call for joy, not even a drop of water would leak out."

"If that's not the case, why would he rather go to Binzhou and bow at Gan Danxuan's feet, than accept this crown prince's favor?"

"This young man has become famous. Helian Qingyu is a famous general of his generation, and he is always somewhat arrogant and proud. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, with his intellect, how could he not understand who the master of the Great Hengkong Dynasty is and who his master is?"

The Crown Prince laughed arrogantly, "In the end, grandfather has always been the one to win my heart. What you're saying is that one day, I will watch him kneel at my feet. He'll do his best!"

In Gan Zhixuan's study room in Binzhou, Ding Ziyang and the other generals of the military region were all prostrated on the ground. Their foreheads were touching the ground, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. They were waiting for his orders.

They had come to beg for forgiveness, but they had already said that they could only wait for Gan Yuxuan to speak and punish them.

Their hearts were filled with reverence and gratitude. They were grateful that they were willing to give their all to get rid of Helian Manqiu, even if it meant surrendering the great merit of capturing the Law King to her. Helian Manqiu's reputation and position would be preserved, and because of this, she would become famous.

"My lord, the young general knows his wrongs. I plead for my lord to grant me this request."

"Tell her that after three days, I will escort King Lu to the capital. All of you can leave."

Chen Yu Yang kowtowed to the ground, "My lord, this general is waiting for my lord's punishment, please punish me heavily, it is all my fault, the young general was young and impulsive, I beg my lord's forgiveness."

"Knock him back!"

A cold voice reprimanded him. The hearts of all the generals quivered for a moment before they hurriedly kowtowed and left. No one dared to say another word.

Inside the prison, Helian Manqiu was informed that after three days, the Law King would be escorted to the capital. She had an inexplicable expression on her face, but how could she not know that this was once again a probe by that man to see what she would do?

When the Law King found out about this, his eyes fell on the beautiful figure of Helian Manqiu in the cell for a long time. He wondered what she would do, whether she would risk saving him from danger and let him escape.

He would rather be killed by Gan Shuxuan than be escorted to the capital to see the crown prince. That sort of humiliation was unbearable for him.

"Qingyu, this king would rather die in the hands of the great emperor at this moment than to be humiliated by the crown prince in the capital." Do you know why Duke Ming instigated his troops to rebel? "

Silence. Helian Manqiu did not open her mouth to lie on the bed with her eyes closed.

"The crown prince wants Duke Ming's fortune to humiliate Duke Ming and force Duke Ming to accept it. Otherwise, Duke Ming wouldn't have taken the risk. "Even if I die in the hands of the Mighty Heaven Duke, I can be considered to have died in the hands of a hero. I have no regrets in dying. If I am escorted to the capital, the crown prince will humiliate me thoroughly and even imprison me as his …"

King Lu painfully closed his eyes, his fingers tightly clenched. His knuckles turned white, and his fingernails pierced into his heart.

"I would rather die here with dignity than be escorted to the capital and face the crown prince's humiliation. I'd rather die!"

Helian Manqiu's heart shook. She did not expect that King Ming would be so rebellious.

"Qingyu, I have no other requests. If Qingyu still has some old friendship with me, then let me have some dignity and die here like a prince!"

Silence filled the air. After waiting for a long time, the Law King did not receive a single word from Helian Manqiu. He closed his eyes and did not say another word as he tried to guess Helian Manqiu's thoughts.

He was confident and believed that Helian Manqiu's heart secretly approved of him. She had deep feelings for him and would never be willing to see him imprisoned and sent to the capital to be humiliated by the Crown Prince, to live a life worse than death.

In the dead of night, when the moonlight was shining like water, someone reported in a low voice from outside Gan Zhixuan's room, "Reporting to the lord, the northern duke has arrived."

Gan Shuxuan suddenly opened his eyes. This little girl, she had been sent to prison, and as expected, she had run out without him knowing.

She didn't go rescue King Lu. Instead, she summoned people to rescue him. What was she doing here?

"Yes, all of you can leave now."

The hidden guard quietly retreated, and on the open window frame, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared. The purple clothes rippled, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful moon-like face as she sat on the windowsill and watched Jia Yu Xuan lying on the bed.

Knowing that Gan Yuxuan was definitely awake, she didn't point him out. Instead, she used the moonlight coming from outside the window to watch him.

The moonlight was like the frost on her body, coating her with a faint and cold radiance. She was peerlessly beautiful, and her eyes, which were filled with bright stars, immediately dimmed down.

She floated down from the windowsill and arrived in front of Gan Zhixuan's bed.

"Gonggong Xuan, I know you're not sleeping, but are you so unwilling to see me?"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you break out of prison without permission and barge into this father's room during the night?"

"My lord, this general knows his wrongs and has come to ask for forgiveness. I beg of you, my lord, please calm your anger."

Kneeling in front of the bed, he raised his head to look at Gan Jianxuan. With a charming smile, the spring in his eyes rippled. He extended his hand to grab Gan Jianxuan's hand and pressed his face against it.

"Hmph. Don't think that you can beg me to forgive you just because of that."

"How can I not be angry, my lord?"

Gan Yuxuan's wrist tightened as he pulled Helian Manqiu into his embrace. Helian Manqiu took the opportunity to lie prone on the front of Gan Zhixuan's chest, extending her hand directly into the folds of Gan Zhixuan's clothes. Her fingers drew circles on his chest as she looked down at him and lightly smiled.

"You're getting more and more impolite. What are you doing here?"

"Gan Qixuan, I missed you."

With these words, Gan Xian's profound gaze turned extremely dark and his heart softened. He wrapped his arms around Helian Manqiu's slender waist and turned around as he lowered his head to stare at Helian Manqiu with cold eyes: "Do you miss me? How do you miss me? "

Reaching out to hug Gan Xixuan, her pink lips pouted, "Can't I miss you? How do I think of you? At all times, I am thinking about you. "

"Don't think that you're so flattering …"

Gan Yuxuan originally wanted to berate Helian Manqiu and teach her a lesson. This time, he had put in a lot of effort to save her. In order to protect her, he had to put in a lot of effort.

Her pink and smooth lips carried the delicate fragrance of peach blossoms. As she touched Gan Zhixuan's lips, she drew in detail. Gan Zhixuan's eyes were even darker and darker, allowing Helian Manqiu's lips to brush past and remain silent.
