Bai Lichen came out of Muqing's courtyard and happened to meet Danqing who went out to do errands.

Seeing Bai Lichen smiling and in a good mood, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Your Highness, why are you so happy?" ”

Bai Lichen's eyes were meaningful, but he didn't tell her, but mentioned other things.

"Staying in the palace these days, what is going on in the capital?" He turned to Danqing and asked.

Danqing replied: "The subordinates are here to report this matter. ”

Bai Lichen bowed, "Go to the study." ”

Discuss these things outside the door, beware that the wall has ears.

The two of them came to the study, and Danqing presented some correspondence documents.

Bai Lichen opened it, Dan Qing said: "His Royal Highness went to the frontier, the prince's party was ready to move, and he sent people to assassinate him many times, thanks to His Highness's wisdom, he gave false news in advance, and the killers sent by the prince were all in vain." ”

When Bailichen set off for the battlefield, the prince was ready to send someone to rob the car, wanting to snatch the weapon.

However, Bai Lichen had expected it and released a fake news to the prince, and the prince chased a fake third prince for several days before he reacted.

Hearing this, Bai Lichen was faint, a little contemptuous, and said:

"He's so stupid that he can be tricked away with a casual pretense."

Danqing nodded, "The queen is in the harem, and she has promoted some concubines, and even proposed a draft, claiming that there have been no newcomers in the palace for many years, and her subordinates see that she wants to compete for the favor of Concubine Chen." ”

Chen Guifei had been favored for many years before, and the queen herself thought that no one could shake the status of the prince, so she ignored her, and her main energy was to prevent the new person from giving birth to a prince.

But now, Bai Lichen's condition is getting better and better, and gradually, he has formed a parallel trend with the prince in the court.

The queen can no longer let Bailichen develop, and she can't wait to promote newcomers, even if she gives birth to a prince.

After all, a baby can't compete with the crown prince.

"What about the mother?" Bai Lichen asked.

Hearing this, the first thing he cared about was Chen Guifei, worried that she would fall out of favor and be uncomfortable.

Danqing replied: "The mother is fine, the holy family is still strong, and she has not been shaken by the queen." ”

"Hmm."

Bai Lichen nodded, it seemed that the emperor was really uncommon to Chen Guifei, and he was also relieved.

"However, a few days ago, more than a dozen assassins infiltrated the gunpowder workshop, presumably trying to steal the blueprints, and after being caught, they committed suicide directly, and their bodies were very clean, leaving nothing behind."

Bai Lichen sneered, "Nothing? Who else could have sent it? ”

There is nothing else to think of but the crown prince.

"This assassin steals things, he does it neatly, if he can use this ability for other things, he will not be so disgusted by his father."

Bai Lichen said sarcastically, pinching the teacup with his fingertips.

Danqing also nodded in agreement.

Since it was said that the workshop was over, Bai Lichen muttered, "However, the workshop is not trivial, send people to strengthen the guards, and make sure that the method is not exposed." ”

If this thing is obtained by the prince, it will definitely be used in crooked ways, using gunpowder to do some illegal things.

Danqing also understood this, so he nodded, "I have already sent people to strengthen the guards that day, and since then, I haven't met an assassin." ”

Bai Lichen didn't think that the crown prince had given up, but now that he heard about the huge power of gunpowder in that war, he would definitely be even more excited, and the workshop would only be more dangerous.

Therefore, he said: "The workshop has reduced its staff, eliminated the unnecessary people, broken up the production methods, and taken back the blueprints. ”

What each person needs to do is all prescribed, the method is subdivided, and each person is only responsible for a small part of it, and even the people in the workshop cannot know the complete method of making gunpowder.

It's a little bit safer this way.

Danqing nodded, "Yes!" ”

"That's all there is to it, nothing else?"

Bai Lichen frowned, he had been away from Beijing for so many days, and the prince should not have only this little movement.

I wondered, what kind of calculation was he doing......

Danqing said: "Yes, the subordinates are also very strange, the prince's movements are actually only this." ”

"Heighten your vigilance."

Bai Lichen thought about it, but still only said four words, and there is only one way to deal with it at present.

He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he never remembered it.

Bai Lichen's appearance now is that he is seriously injured and untreated, and he is sick in bed, so he does not need to go to the morning court.

When the emperor learned that he had rushed back to Beijing, he was overjoyed, and when he heard that his body had not yet recovered, he immediately sent a doctor to diagnose and treat him, but Bai Lichen refused.

Bai Lichen claimed that he had met the divine doctor Qing Ziran, and the other party was now treating him in the house.

The emperor allowed him, and also sent a lot of supplements and rewards, allowing him to go to the early court after he was cured.

Qing Ziran sat on the chair boredly and looked at Bai Lichen very helplessly.

"As soon as you are sick, you call me, I rushed back, and you told me that you are pretending to be sick, and you only need me to cooperate here, no need for diagnosis and treatment, do you think I am idle?"

He rolled his eyes.

Bai Lichen smiled lightly and didn't say anything, but handed him a cup of tea to express his apologies.

Qing Ziran just said, he wasn't really angry, and when he saw him handing over the tea, he took it very interestingly.

"I said, you always ask me to cooperate with you, and I'm not afraid of exposure."

After all, he is also an elusive divine doctor Qing Ziran, not an ordinary imperial doctor waiting for treatment, Bai Lichen can always meet him, and there are some abnormalities.

"It's okay, when the time comes, you can just say that you owe me a favor."

Compared with revealing the information that he could contact Qing Ziran, he still felt that it was more important for him to pretend to be sick.

The meaning of Bailichen is obvious.

Qing Ziran raised her eyebrows, "Whatever you want." ”

In short, he has the final say.

"Then again, that fake wound on your arm was caused by your imperial concubine again, right?"

When Qing Ziran first came, he was very shocked when he saw the wound, according to the severity of the wound, if it weren't for Bai Lichen still chatting with him alive, he would have thought that this was a dead man.

"Is it also pale?"

Qing Ziran pierced these.

Speaking of the wound, Bai Lichen glanced at the wound, and there was some warmth in his eyes, "This wound is indeed ...... It's a little more realistic. ”

He also wanted to laugh a little, and reached out to touch it, but he still took it back, worried that his makeup would be gone.

Thinking that Mu Qing said with a serious face, "This is how the wound caused by gunpowder is", he couldn't say anything, so he could only stand up to this hideous wound.

"But according to the severity of your wound, it will take a month when it heals, do you plan to not go to the morning court for a month?"

Although it is said that the wound is fake, since Bailichen has pretended, he has to wait until the so-called wound heals before he can go out and go to the morning court.

Bai Lichen just wanted to pretend for more than ten days at that time, so he was really distressed when he saw Mu Qinghua's fake wounds.

After all, a month is too long, and it has a big impact on his plans.

But thinking that Mu Qing rushed to the camp at that time and saw the worried look when he was injured and unconscious, he didn't know why, he couldn't refuse, and his heart beat slightly faster.

The throbbing of his heart made him unable to ignore his feelings any longer.

This time, he saw his heart clearly, and he also saw Mu Qing's feelings.

She shouldn't be completely devoid of feelings for herself, right......

"Bailichen? Bailichen? ”

Qing Ziran called several times, but he didn't see Bai Lichen agree.

"What are you doing in a daze!" He stretched out his hand in front of Bai Lichen's eyes and suddenly raised his voice.

At this time, Bai Lichen suddenly came back to his senses.

Seeing Qing Ziran looking at himself suspiciously, it was a little unnatural.

"Ahem...... Fang just remembered something. Covering his ears and stealing the bell, he changed the subject:

"You are a miracle doctor, you should be able to heal the wound in advance, a month will definitely not work, half a month, this wound will be healed."

He said solemnly, and the meaning of his words could not be ignored.

Qing Ziran was dumbfounded, "I am a divine doctor, not an immortal, half a month, it is impossible." ”

The miracle doctor can only cure more diseases than others, not that he can reduce the treatment time so shortly.

Bai Lichen frowned, "This is your business." ”

Qing Ziran: ......

"Okay, okay! Anyway, others don't know me, so I said that I could heal your wound in half a month, and they didn't dare to doubt it. ”

He shook his head, feeling that Bai Lichen was becoming more and more vexatious.

At this time, Bailihong also came to visit Bailichen.

"Third brother, don't you know, the first time I saw your wound, it scared me to death, I thought your wound was really so serious."

Bai Lihong patted his chest, a little afraid.

Bai Lichen looked at him and explained: "The wound was very light at that time, and it didn't take long to heal, this fake wound was used to confuse the prince. ”

These people care about him very much, he cherishes it, and he will not hide anything.

"I see." Bai Lihong nodded, "Do you only use this to confuse them, what are the plans of the third brother?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Lichen narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"You say, what would be your first thought if your enemy was seriously wounded and sick in bed?"

Bai Lihong thought for a while, "Send someone to kill him completely." ”

He's seriously injured anyway, and this is a great chance to kill him completely.

If Mu Qing were here, he would find that Bai Lihong, who looked lively, was so ruthless.

As soon as Bai Lihong's words came out, he immediately guessed Bai Lichen's plan, and his eyes lit up.

"Is the third brother planning to lure him to assassinate you, and then take the opportunity to seize the handle and hand over all the evidence to his father, so that his father will dislike him?"

Bai Lihong felt that he had guessed very correctly, eight or nine were not far from ten, but Bai Lichen shook his head, "It's not just that." ”

Bai Lihong was stunned, "Then what else?" ”

Bai Lichen didn't say anything more, he mentioned another thing.

"I heard that the mother concubine is preparing to find a princess candidate for you recently."

Bai Lihong's face collapsed suddenly, "I have a headache when I talk about this, I don't want to start a family yet, and my mother wants to pick it for me." ”

Bai Lichen said: "You have indeed reached the age when you should marry the imperial concubine." ”

"Third brother, you won't think the same as your mother!"

He was helpless and begged for mercy: "I thought you would help me speak!" ”

Bai Lichen can't deny it, he naturally won't help Bai Lihong ask for these feelings.

Chen Guifei's plan is not unreasonable, Bailihong's age has also arrived, it's time to start a family, and if she doesn't start, the women of school age in the capital will be gone.

Although he wouldn't help him speak, Bai Lichen still persuaded him.

"If you have someone you think is suitable, you can tell your mother that as long as your family background is innocent, you will not refuse to come to your mother."

He reminded.

After all, Bai Lihong is not the crown prince, so he doesn't need a strong imperial concubine family, and Chen Guifei is not an unreasonable person, I just hope that he can live well.

Bai Lichen said, "the person I think is suitable......

made Bai Lihong think of Dong Shuer for a moment.

However, he still said stiffly: "What suitable candidate can I have?" ”

Bai Lichen saw his eyes flickering, obviously not sincere, and he didn't pierce him.

"You just have to be measured."
