C145 Duan Lan's Whereabouts Were Unknown

"Grandpa, you got what you wanted now." The moment Bai Ye stepped into Bai Qing's room, his tone became somewhat unpleasant.

Bai Qing looked back at him in confusion.

"I just came from Jiegeng's place." Bai Ye spread his hands and did not know what was going on with the culprit. "I can see that Jiegeng is really sad this time."

"Your brother is really considerate." There was no doubt that this result was in line with Bai Qing's intentions.

"What can I do? It seems like I am the only one who treats her sincerely right now, right?" Bai Ye spread his hands.

"I am doing this for Jiegeng's long-term consideration." Bai Qing's words did not lose out to his words. "I am someone who has experienced it. How many tragedies have I seen in the royal family? When I was working as an Imperial Physician, I have seen how many pickles were there in the harem. With Jiegeng's pure heart, it is totally suitable for the high walls of the courtyard."

"Grandfather, I can only say that you really don't understand Jiegeng." Bai Ye smiled bitterly, "But I believe that not long after, Jiegeng will prove it to you. She is no longer the little girl that you protected very well."

These few days, Jiegeng was immersed in her own sad little world and did not know that something had happened outside.

"Imperial Brother, in this rebellion in the southwest, the most suitable person to suppress the rebellion must be my younger brother!"

In the Imperial Reading Room, Duan Shuang's voice was exceptionally loud and clear.

"You don't need to worry about this war. I will naturally arrange a suitable candidate." The Emperor immediately rejected Duan Shuang's request.

"Then this official dare to ask Imperial Brother, who is the person you wish for?"

"This..." The Emperor was also momentarily stumped by his question.

"Currently, every available person in the Imperial Court is stationed at each important border. Could it be that Imperial Brother wants to appoint a new person this time?"

"The most suitable candidate is naturally Great General Chang Yan." The Emperor immediately thought of a person.

"Did Imperial Brother forget? He was sent to City L not long ago."

"Now, we have a good relationship with Qi Country. We just need to transfer him to the southwest immediately."

"Who said so? However, the biggest enemy of our Great Yan is still Qi Country. If we transfer our Great General away and Qi Country takes advantage of the situation, then the consequences will be unimaginable!"

After hearing this, the Emperor immediately frowned.

"Imperial Brother, I am Zhen'an King, who you have personally conferred the title of, so I will naturally go and pacify the chaos."

"You have only suffered such heavy injuries in City L previously. Now, I am sending you to fight the enemies. Doesn't that mean..."

"Imperial Brother, please put national affairs first. I will remember your kindness to my brother!"

The Emperor sighs, "Since that is the case, you will lead your soldiers and set off."

"This official accepts the order!"

When Jiegeng found out about this matter, Duan Shuang had already set off for a few days.

"He went to war?"

"Yes, young lady." Shao replied in a trembling voice, afraid that she would say something wrong and cause Jiegeng to be unhappy again.

"That's right. He is a Combat King. "Jiegeng said absentmindedly.

She remembered that the first time she saw him, he looked like he was on the verge of death. This time, he went to settle the chaos. He wouldn't be injured again, right?

Thinking of this, Jiegeng immediately shook her head with all her might.

Bai Jiegeng, why are you so useless? We agreed to forget about him. How can you still care about him?

Seeing Jiegeng constantly shaking her head by the side, Shao said worriedly, "Miss, are you alright? Don't scare me!"

"I'm fine!" Jiegeng propped her head up. Just now when she shook her head violently, she felt a little dizzy.

"Alright, I need to go to sleep again. If there is nothing else, don't disturb me." After Jiegeng finished speaking, she ran towards the embrace of the bed.

"Sleep again!"

Shao could not help but cry out in shock. She realized that the young lady seemed to be thinking about the past period of time again. She was muddle-headed all the time.

After half a month of such a peaceful life, a bad news was sent back to the capital.

Originally, after Zhen'an King arrived to pacify the southwest, the chaos in the southwest gradually calmed down. However, no one expected that the city defense general would have been bribed by the rebel army. Zhen'an King had just arrived and was busy dealing with the rebel army. He had neglected the investigation of the internal personnel. Just at the last battle, the general suddenly rebelled. He severely injured Zhen'an King.

Although the southwest was won in the end, Zhen'an King and Duan Shuang's whereabouts were unknown.

"Why did this happen?" When the Emperor heard the news, he was immediately enraged.

"With his martial arts, he would not be injured to such an extent by those juniors?"

The one kneeling in front of the Emperor was a deputy general who followed Duan Shuang.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Highness suffered serious internal injuries when heading to the southwest. This war is urgent and has no time to take care of the matters in the city. That's why that person got what he wanted. This official is guilty!"

"When did he suffer internal injuries?"

"This official does not know."

... "Now that Zhen'an King's life and death are unknown, what's the use of you standing here and accepting my punishment?"

"This official has already searched the vicinity of the battlefield strictly. It is just that until now, there is still no trace of His Highness."

"Immediately bring a thousand Royal Guards to the southwest. Even if you turn over the entire place, you must find Zhen'an King!"

"This official accepts the order!"

When Bai Ye went to look for Jiegeng, he discovered that Jiegeng was currently packing up her luggage.

"Jiegeng, where are you going?"

Jiegeng stopped what she was doing. "Southwest."

"Is it to find Duan Shuang? Didn't you say that from now on, the two of you will never interact with each other?"

"That's just anger!" Jiegeng's nose twitched.

"He hurt your heart so much, but you still care about him so much?" Bai Ye started to feel sorry for Jiegeng. Why was his sister so stupid?

"I believe in him!" Jiegeng continued to pack up her luggage. "Instinct tells me that what he is showing now is all an illusion."

Bai Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

Jiegeng saw his smile and immediately said angrily, "If you're here to stop me, then there's no need. No matter what, I will go to the southwest."

Bai Ye gradually walked towards Jiegeng. Jiegeng saw this and immediately took out the black iron needle and stabbed it towards Bai Ye's acupuncture point.

She thought that victory was within her grasp, but she did not expect Bai Ye to immediately take the needle with his hand.

"What happened to you?" Jiegeng's face was a little stiff.

"You are a good sister. For the sake of your lover, you actually want to kill your brother?"

Bai Ye held the needle in his hand and looked at it. "This kind of black iron doesn't seem like something you can get easily. Zhen'an King gave it to me?"

"You..."

"You don't need to be so surprised. Your brother knows a lot of things." Bai Ye returned the needle to Jiegeng. "You are always too impulsive. Did I say that I am here to stop you?"

"Then why did you come here? What do you want to do?"

"Seeing you like this, I want to tell you the truth." Bai Ye still felt a little heartache for Jiegeng. What he did this time was probably the first time Bai Ye went against Bai Qing's will.
