Xu Mao suddenly had a bad premonition, and this premonition made him strongly reluctant to hear the truth. But Bai Lilan was like a cruel executioner, approaching him step by step, her red lips spit lightly, and the truth was ruthlessly revealed.

"And I, I am the princess of Huchen, the daughter of the king of Dingnan, Baililan!"

No wonder, no wonder, when I hear the words "Baili Lan", I will feel that this name is so familiar, it turns out that as early as when she was in Bac Ninh, her deeds spread all over Kyushu!

Leaning weakly on the trunk of the tree, Xu Mao felt annoyed, and didn't understand why there were so many changes when things were arranged so well? It's just that I want to stay with my beloved woman for a long time, why didn't I work before, after so many years, I still can't do it!

Bai Lilan didn't seem to want to let Xu Mao go like this, and still said coldly, "Even if Emperor Nanzhao is pampering you, it is impossible for him to tolerate you marrying a wife from an enemy country. So, you'd better die of this heart, Third Prince! ”

This "Three Princes" sounded in his ears like thunder, making him look at Baili Lan in disbelief and mutter, "It turns out that you know, you already know!" ”

"That's right, I guessed who you were the first time I saw you. If the time is calculated, Xin Xiang may arrive in Dadu soon. After that, the people sent by the emperor will also arrive. Even if you want to run, you will be like a bird with broken wings, and you won't be able to fly out of the cage! ”

Looking at the still beautiful woman in front of him, Xu Mao took two steps back and said softly, "Baili Lan, you are really terrible!" ”

"It's not that I'm terrible, it's that this world is cruel! Then Xun Mao, why did he say that he was so innocent? Didn't you just marry me back to the palace? You have not even asked me what I want, and you are going to forcibly take people away. What if my heart belongs? What if I'm already married? None of this is on your radar. You just want to be happy yourself, and you don't care about other people's lives or deaths! In this way, you are the one who is truly cruel and terrible! ”

"I just like you, I'm terrible!" Na Xunmao said loudly, "The pursuit of one's own love has been singable and worthy of praise since ancient times!" Back then, I was going to marry that lowly little palace maid, and everyone said that she flew on the branches and became a phoenix, but I knew that in her heart, there was mine, not just my identity! And I don't care about other people's eyes, I just want to keep her around. This is love, love regardless of the world! ”

"But your so-called love killed her! I'm not that palace maid, and I don't bother to wait for redemption! So, put away your face as Redeemer, I don't need it at all! Baili Lan looked at Na Xun Mao without giving in, and said loudly, "I, Bai Lilan, want to control my own destiny, whether you are the prince or the emperor, as long as I don't like it, give me a side!" ”

"You...... Baililan, you will definitely regret it! ”

"Hmph, each of you said I would regret it, but now, aren't I still fine? Na Xunmao, instead of having time to scream with me here, it is better to think carefully about how to face the torture of the emperor! Do you hear the sound of horses' hooves? It looks like those people are even faster than I expected, Xin Xiang has already found you! ”

As soon as Baili Lan's words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, as if trampling on that Xunmao's true heart.

His pupils shrank, and Na Xunmao slowly turned his head and looked at Xin Xiang, who was the leader, with a gray face.

From a distance, seeing Baili Lan and Na Xunmao, Xin Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his flesh hurt.

This time, the reason why he was able to find the third prince so quickly was completely dependent on Bai Lilan's secret report. And who is Baili Lan, and when did she ever make a loss-making transaction? In the letter, he was asked to buy the news for fifty thousand taels of gold!

If Xin Xiang didn't agree, Bai Lilan would sell the news to Xin Xiang's political enemies. Anyway, there are people who want this disobedient prince to hit Xin Xiang. Gold, Xin Xiang naturally can't get it, and he is not a corrupt official, relying on those fortunes, even if he saves a lifetime, he can save 50,000 taels of gold. Bai Lilan had already thought of this, she didn't "embarras" Xin Xiang, and told him that if the preparation of gold was really tight, she would use something else, for example, exempting the store's taxes.

This request is still reminded by Na Xunmao.

Xin Xiang is upright, and naturally he can't get any oil and water from him. Then we have to think of another way.

Since Xin Xiang is the prime minister of Nanzhao, he uses the privileges in his hands to exempt the store from taxes.

Don't look at this tax every year, it doesn't cost much, but Baili Lan has many shops, and it is not a small amount when apportioned. And as the years go by, this advantage becomes more and more apparent. As for the reason for reducing taxes and fees for the store, Baili Lan also thought about it for Xin Xiang. It is said that these shops are models of tax payment, and at the same time drive the local economic development and promote local employment.

Such a tempting reward will also encourage other shops to follow suit, and while working hard to run their business, they also hope that they will be the next Baililan. In this way, it will drive a benign development model, and the market does not need to be led by the imperial court at all, and it will spontaneously come to Peng**.

And Baili Lan, not only reduced taxes and fees, but also became the first businessman in Nanzhao to receive this honor, what is this equivalent to? A wordless living signboard!

When the time comes, it doesn't matter where Xin Xiang's plaque hangs, and it will be passed on by word of mouth, which is an honor. I think that at that time, the business in the store will definitely go to a higher level, and the income that will roll in will definitely be far more long-term than the 50,000 taels of gold!

Baili Lan's abacus played loudly, but Xin Xiang could only silently accept this proposal. Whether it is public or private, he cannot deny that Baililan's proposal is indeed very constructive. Although he was calculated, in order to find the third prince as soon as possible, he could only accept it all.

As soon as he got off the horse, Xin Xiang took many guards, knelt down in front of the three princes, and said respectfully, "Wechen has seen the three princes, please return to the palace immediately!" ”

As if he was watching a good show that had nothing to do with him, the third prince slowly turned around, and after looking at the group of men who didn't dare to look up at him, the third prince said faintly, "Baili Lan, I won't let you go like this!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you let me go or not, you're not the first person to say this anyway!"

It's really worthy of Baili Lan, a sentence can make that Xun Mao angry. He took a deep breath, calmed his face, walked to Xin Xiang's side, turned over and got on his horse, and then never looked at Baili Lan again, and rode away.

Before leaving, Xin Xiang gave Bai Lilan a look, which was very complicated, seemed to have admiration, and a faint worry.

"County Lord, what did the third prince mean by what he said when he left?"

"It doesn't matter what he means, it's impossible for him to get his wish anyway!" Rubbing her hands, Baili Lan felt a little cold standing in the snow, so she hurried back to the carriage and left here.

After the third prince left, Baililan's life returned to peace, but it didn't take long for this calm to receive a letter from Xin Xiang.

In the letter, Xin Xiang roughly described the matter, saying that after the third prince returned to the palace, he was clamoring to marry a woman. Of course, the woman in the mouth of the third prince is undoubtedly Baili Lan. Since that accident, the third prince has rarely touched a woman. This change made the people of the royal family very worried, for fear that the three princes would change their minds and have other ideas. And at this moment, when he heard him say that he wanted a woman, he was naturally overjoyed, and he didn't even ask the woman's name, so he agreed. But when the third prince said that he had a crush on the former Princess Chen, the scene that was still frolicking just now immediately became cold and silent. Everyone looked at the emperor with anxiety, and the emperor kept panting, and the last slap slapped the third prince's face, and scolded angrily, "You are not a filial son, you either like the palace maid, or you fall in love with the divorced woman!" Why, are we no one in Nanzhao, I want you to choose a foreign woman all the way away! It's impossible, so don't think about it! ”

The current third prince is not the half-grown child he was back then, and he already has his own ideas in his heart. Although his cheeks were still red and swollen, the third prince said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Father doesn't know anything, that Baili Lan is not only brave and strategic, but also a heroine among women. Smart and wise, so that Xin Xiang is not as good as himself. And she is also the daughter of the king of Dingnan. It is also a beautiful thing to be able to marry the daughter of a hero! As for what you said, she was divorced, didn't Emperor Beining also say it, Su Yichen married her that day, it was just an expedient measure, the two are basically brother and sister friendship, and the two of them are innocent. ”

"Whether they are innocent or not, you know! In short, if I say no, it just won't work, so don't make such plans! ”

Emperor Nanzhao was full of anger, and the temperament of the third prince was not small, so he held his neck at that time, and did not give in, saying that he was not allowed to marry Baililan, and he would never touch a woman for the rest of his life. Because in his opinion, other women can't even compare to a finger of Baili Lan!

His words made the three imperial concubines who were also present faint from crying, and their bodies were soft and couldn't support them at all. Later, he called the imperial doctor to use medicine again, and the scene was chaotic, which gave the emperor a headache. Originally, the emperor wanted to directly confine the three princes, thinking that it doesn't matter who you want to marry, if you don't pass the Lao Tzu pass, you think in vain.

But the queen felt sorry for her son, so she begged the emperor to grant the request of the third prince. Left and right are just a woman, isn't it a good thing to be able to use a woman in exchange for a son to be safely by his side?

The emperor was moved by the queen's crying, so he summoned Xin Xiang to ask everything about Baili Lan carefully. Xin Xiang was upright, and when he heard that the emperor said that he would give Baili Lan to the third prince, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said no.

Emperor Nanzhao was very depressed, and he didn't want the third prince to marry, but he wanted to live or die himself, and after adding the queen mother's intercession, he could only go with his mind. But when he arrived at Xin Xiang, he didn't say a few words, so he kowtowed and objected loudly. There is really no way to solve this matter!
