Chapter 195: A Fine Tale of Monarch and Ministers_1

The Crown Prince walked along the riverbank with his hands behind his back, pondering for a while before slowly coming to a stop.

Bai Qingyan, who was following behind the Crown Prince, also stopped. The Crown Prince looked back at the guards still some distance away from them and spoke: "Before I came to the southern borders, my father gave me a secret order. When the southern war ends, Miss Bai need not return to Dadu City. Do you understand what this means?"

"Is it my life he wants?"

Bai Qingyan's words were straightforward and candid, making the Crown Prince feel guilty. His hands behind his back tightened, uncertain if the advice from Old Fang and the others was any good.

"But I want to save you!" the Crown Prince said.

The sound of the rushing Jinghe River was loud, almost drowning out the Crown Prince's words.
