"Miss, what are you daydreaming for? You'll be at the gate in a minute. You'll have to get ready. "Let me look at your hair ?" Su Lv said while carefully helping her to pack her headgear.

However, Huo Mingzhu's brows were deeply furrowed. "Are you sure that your Highness the crown prince is here to welcome us?"

In her memories, the crown prince of the Emperor of Heaven's Blessing had never been in good health, and even at the royal family's gathering, he rarely attended, not to mention meeting all the officials. In her last life, even until Huo Mingzhu died, she only remembered that interaction with the crown prince had stopped at the time of her illness when she was young and the Crown Prince's consort selection banquet afterwards. She was sure that Prince Jing Qi did not welcome him when he returned to the capital triumphantly.

Su Lv asked curiously: "That's right, the Marquis sent someone to pass on the message just now, how could it be wrong? It must have been the Ninth Prince's brilliant military exploits that His Majesty ordered the crown prince to come out of the city and receive him. Look at his face, just look at that! "

As he was speaking, the carriage had already stopped. The exterior room was solemn and noisy, as if a lot of people had gathered, and those people didn't dare to act rashly.

Just then, someone spoke out from beyond the curtain: "Miss Huo, do you mind getting off with your legs?"

Hearing that voice, Su Lv immediately winked at Huo Mingzhu, and lowered his voice: "Miss, quickly, Ninth Prince is here to invite you in personally."

Huo Mingzhu opened the curtain and saw Baili Zonglv standing in front of her. He was tall and straight but was valiant, she instinctively wanted to avoid him, and laughed: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Su Lv, help me get off the carriage. "

Su Lv secretly sweated in his heart, he was really angry at her for not fighting. He hopped off the horse carriage helplessly, and went to help Huo Mingzhu out of the carriage, muttering to himself, "Miss, you, sigh ?"

Although Baili Zonglv's eyebrows were furrowed, he did not seem to mind, and led Huo Mingzhu forward, as far as he could see, at the end of the official road, a figure dressed in bright yellow silk clothes stood there with his hands behind his back, escorted by the officials.

Pingyang Duke also dismounted, and together with Baili Zonglv, they bowed towards the man, and Huo Mingzhu followed suit and knelt down.

"We pay our respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"

The soldiers behind him had knelt down as well, bowing in unison.

The civil officials behind the crown prince all dared not accept Baili Zonglv's bow, and immediately bowed down.

"Uncle Huang, please get up!" A melodious male voice came out, following that, a pair of boots stopped right in front of Huo Mingzhu and helped him up, "Jing Qi does not dare to receive royal uncle's great gift."

The young man's voice was still somewhat clear, coinciding with the image of Prince Jing Qi in Huo Mingzhu's memories.

"Please get up Pingyang Duke too. Everyone, get up!" He was the Crown Prince personally appointed by God, and the entire Land of the Rivers and Mountains was supposed to be his.

Huo Mingzhu wanted to stand up, but her ankle was in pain, she currently had her hands out waiting for Su Lv to support her, hence a pair of hands had already helped her up.

How could Baili Zonglv let her hide?

The angle was too subtle, and no one could tell that she was dodging; they could only see Baili Zonglv being approachable and treating Huo Mingzhu with care.

"This lady is ?"

The young crown prince's questioning voice came from in front of Huo Mingzhu. She had already been provoked by Baili Zonglv, so she didn't know what to do.

"Jing Qi, this is Miss Mingzhu from the General Huo's House. Her leg is twisted, so it won't be convenient for her." Not only did Baili Zonglv have to interfere with Huo Mingzhu's body, he also had to answer for her, as if nothing had happened as a response to the crown prince's questions.

Before the young crown prince could reply, a person appeared from behind him and bowed his head to greet him, "Reporting to Your Highness, this is this official's daughter, Huo Mingzhu. She is impolite in front of the palace, I hope Your Highness can forgive me."

Ever since the figure had walked out, Huo Mingzhu's attention was unable to focus on the crown prince's pale white face. She stared fixedly at Huo Zhengde, who had continuously called him her father ? ? She was like a mother who had worshipped a man who had passed away many years ago, yet in the end, had tried to kill her wife and weak daughter ?

"Ming Zhu, hurry up and admit your mistakes to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Huo Zhengde saw that she was quiet and did not make a sound, and shouted to her.

Huo Mingzhu's mind exploded, thinking that the veins in her arms and legs had been cut off, her eyes were gouged out, her father Huo Zhengde said sincerely and sincerely: "Ming Zhu, even though I am not your father, but you did something wrong and have to admit it."

It was the same tone, full of righteousness and morality. What did she recognize? What was wrong with her?!

Intense hatred filled Huo Mingzhu's brain, clogging her throat, making her unable to shout out a single word. Instead, she slowly suppressed her anger and opened her mouth, preparing to obediently acknowledge her mistake.

"Forget it, I heard that Miss Huo met an assassin on their way back to the capital. After being frightened, General Huo need not make too much of a fuss, I am not thinking about it." The crown prince interrupted Huo Mingzhu and his pair of clear, starry eyes met with Huo Mingzhu once again. His eyes seemed to be able to speak, but she did not know what he wanted to say.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Father Huo Zhengde's flattery interrupted their gazes.

The young crown prince shifted his gaze away, but instead looked towards Baili Zonglv, "Royal Uncle has worked hard all this time. Royal father has already set up a feast in the palace to celebrate for Royal Uncle." His gaze landed on the hand Baili Zonglv was holding on to. The young man's smile was especially magnanimous. "It's a matter of great concern."
