After Ye Qingqing reluctantly cleaned up, seeing the concerned eyes of the three of them, and remembering what he had experienced during this time (qíng), the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"After you left, I wanted to come to you secretly, but I was robbed halfway, but fortunately I was rescued, and my father agreed that I would come to you, but I lost my luggage halfway, so I had to ......" The more Ye Qingqing spoke, the more she felt that the word begging was difficult to speak, and she was so anxious that her eyes were red.

The prince couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw her like this, Ye Qingqing was just a slightly chubby girl now, and she also showed her original delicate appearance, the prince couldn't help but reach out and touch Ye Qingqing's hair when he saw this.

"Okay, don't say it if you can't say it, just stay there in the future." The prince sighed.

His words broke through Ye Qingqing's last psychological defense, Ye Qingqing's tears suddenly burst out, and the whole person threw himself into the prince's arms.

The prince was pounced on by her, and Hun (shēn) froze, and finally patted Ye Qingqing's back comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's all right, I will protect you in the future." ”

Ye Qingqing's crying gradually stopped, but he realized that he was in the prince's arms, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head at all, and he was greedy for the warmth of his arms, so he delayed from the prince's arms.

Naturally, the prince realized it, and the roots of his ears gradually turned red.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunling showed a subtle smile at Rong Yan, looked at Ye Qingqing and the two again, and scratched the back of Rong Yan's hand. Rong Yan grabbed Zhao Yunling's hand and showed a knowing smile, everything was silent.

After the four of them returned to China, they went to the palace together to find the emperor and said that they had to report to the emperor about the important affairs of the two countries.

"Your Majesty, we have just returned from the White Snow Country, and the White Snow Country is now causing internal turmoil, causing trouble to the royal family, disturbing the country's livelihood, and even showing signs of sending troops to our country. In addition, there is also a request for not (qíng) ......" Rong Yan bowed to the emperor.

"If you don't ask for it, you might as well say it directly." The emperor bowed his head.

Seeing this, the prince stepped forward and said, "Now that the power of the White Snow Kingdom is controlled by my imperial uncle, the military power is on the sidelines, so I want to borrow some troops from you to regain the imperial power and avoid a war between the two countries." If you (yǔn) promise, I am willing to sign a contract with you after regaining the imperial power of the White Snow Country, and the two countries will never go to war for a hundred years after that! ”

The emperor paused when he heard this. Over the years, although they have not had a major war with the White Snow Country, they have indeed had constant frictions, the borders have been violated from time to time, and the amount of money used in the treasury for military salaries has increased year by year.

He also knows the recent movements of the White Snow Country, and what they said is indeed not a lie, the treasury has not been full in recent years, if it really fights with the White Snow Country, it will definitely cause a deficit for a long time.

But if you really want to borrow their troops, it will naturally be indispensable, but it is a little difficult......

"I'll think about this matter again, and let's talk about it later." The emperor said so, flicked his sleeves and left.

That night, the emperor was just about to fall asleep, and when he was about to extinguish the candle, the candle suddenly went out by itself. The emperor was startled and looked around, but it was all pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The emperor reluctantly put his mind at ease and walked towards the dragon (chuáng), but suddenly felt a chill on his neck and was held hostage from behind (shēn).

"You...... Who are you? What to do? The emperor was startled, barely maintaining the stability of his voice, trying his best not to show his abnormality.

"The master of my family is now the ruler of the White Snow Country, I have no ill intentions, I am just ordered to ask you not to lend troops to the prince." The man in black behind the emperor collected his knife and stood in front of the emperor.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little anger, "This is the attitude of your people in the Snow Country to ask for help, it's too rude, right?" ”

"I'm sorry to have frightened you, but in order not to alarm the prince, and I hope you don't act rashly, I can only make this decision, and I hope you will agree to our request." The man in black apologized without any sincerity, and emphasized his "request" again.

"Why don't you let me borrow troops?" The emperor asked.

But he never thought that the man in black took out a map from his waist, lit a fire again, and said to the emperor according to the map. "This is the map of the White Snow Country, if you can agree to our request, the seven cities along the border of the White Snow Country will be yours."

The emperor looked at the seven cities he pointed to, all of which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and his heart moved, and finally nodded, "Okay, I agree." “

When the man in black received a satisfactory answer, he left the map to the emperor, and disappeared without a sound, leaving the emperor alone to look at the map over and over again.

Times (rì), the four of them came to the palace again to ask for an answer from the emperor, but the emperor did not hesitate for a moment and directly rejected them.

"Dare to ask the saint, didn't you still say that you had to think about it again yesterday (rì), why did you refuse so decisively?" Zhao Yunling thought for a moment, but stepped forward and asked.

"The consequence of my thinking is that no. You may not be able to regain the imperial power of the White Snow Country, and if you don't, you will have to lose my troops and food, what good will this do me? The emperor said coldly.

"The imperial power of the White Snow Country should have been with me, and I will definitely take it back......"

As the prince spoke, he was interrupted by the emperor. "You can't promise this kind of thing (qíng), your imperial uncle is willing to send seven cities, so that I don't send troops, but you can't do anything."

"What? You want to destroy the years of diplomatic relations between our two countries for the sake of seven cities? I even dare to believe the nonsense that villains say. I think you're a dumb man! When the prince heard the words "Uncle Emperor", he immediately became angry.

When the emperor heard him say this, his face suddenly became a little unbearable. As soon as he slapped the table, he stood up, "Come on, escort him to me!" ”

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing didn't care about anything, and hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, this time it was the prince who made a disrespectful speech, but please read it for the sake of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, spare him this time!" ”

Ye Qingqing said and stopped in front of the prince's (shēn).

The emperor was even more angry, "Qingqing, you give it to me, even if your father is here today, it's useless, I won't spare him!" ”

Ye Qingqing knelt down and insisted on standing in front of the prince's (shēn), but he still couldn't stop the prince from being dragged away.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunling also hurriedly knelt down and begged (qíng), "Your Majesty, the prince was carried away for a while, and he didn't choose what to say, please spare him this time!" ”

The emperor maintained a cold face and did not waver at all. And the prince didn't have the slightest intention of begging for mercy, he still looked stubborn, and he was taken to prison all the time.

However, Ye Qingqing also went with him stubbornly, and seeing that the king did not mean to spare the prince, he asked (xìng) and said, "If you don't let go of the prince, I can't afford to kneel here!" ”

The emperor turned his back (shēn) and went, "You have to kneel for me to kneel outside (diàn)!" ”

On the other side, Rong Yan contacted Yueqing and asked him to collect evidence that the prince and uncle were causing trouble in the White Snow Country and attempting to do something to the country.

Unexpectedly, this investigation went deeper. The prince and uncle began to recruit a large number of troops before the death of the king of Snow Country, which was completely beyond the scope of a country's annual recruitment. And his military salary is naturally not out of his own pocket.

Since the White Snow Country and its country have established diplomatic relations, there are still some frictions on the border from time to time, and this side is the ghost of the prince and uncle. He used this to defraud the military salaries of the national treasury of the White Snow Country, and forcibly robbed the food and salary of his own soldiers, so that the expenditure of this salary became larger and larger, and the treasury became more and more empty.

In doing so, his military salary was naturally not enough, so he collected the people's fat and ointment to fill in those gaps, so that the people had to leave their homes in order to find a way out.

And the reason why he did this was to use those forces (bī) to kill the king of Snow White, and then attack and annex the country. And his first step has been achieved, and the next thing to do is to start a war.

As for what the emperor said before, the emperor's uncle exchanged seven cities for him not to send troops and so on, and the seven cities were the fulcrum cities that the emperor was preparing to use to wage war, how could he easily promise the emperor?

Rong Yan got the evidence and hurried back to the palace, when it was already pouring rain in the sky.

When he was about to go to the emperor to go to school, he saw Ye Qingqing and Zhao Yunling, who were kneeling outside (diàn) in the heavy rain, begging the emperor for the prince's forgiveness. The emperor, on the other hand, criticized the recital with a cold face in (diàn), as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Zhao Yunling was like this, Rong Yan felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly took the evidence and entered the (diàn) to see the emperor.

"What else do you have to say? It's better not to come to ask (qíng). The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at Rong Yan.

"Naturally not. I got the evidence that Uncle Bai Xueguo coaxed you. Rong Yan said in a shocking voice.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Rong Yan.

Rong Yan handed the evidence to the emperor through his subordinates, and while the emperor was looking at it, he told the emperor one by one about the things he had collected about the emperor's uncle's private recruitment of soldiers and horses, the scourge of the people, and the deception of the court.

The more the emperor listened, the more frightened he became, and he realized that he had actually believed the jackal's words and done such a foolish thing (qíng).

"Your Majesty, that Uncle Bai Xue Guo has never been a good person, and such a thing as tearing up the contract (qíng) is nothing in his eyes, even the seven cities you promised you before are not said by him personally, and what is written on paper is nothing. Why don't you think about it carefully, is it better to support the prince you are familiar with, or to indulge the imperial uncle? ”

Rong Yan's words were sharp, and the emperor was so blocked that he couldn't speak for a while, so he had to sigh, "I was negligent and mistrusted the villain." I will let the general return to the Snow Country with you, and then let the prince go." He was right......"

Rong Yan was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him and retired, and went to give umbrellas to Ye Qingqing and Zhao Yunling, who were kneeling outside (diàn), and went with them to pick up the prince out.
