”Princess Chu, you have been soaking in the water for a long time. Don't catch a cold.” Nanny Qiu's voice came from outside.

Wei Qing was startled, she then realised that the water was cold.

”I'll be right out.”

Wei Qing returned to the secret room. The Old Emperor had already dealt with the majority of the papers, but there were still many that he had not dealt with.

Seeing Old Emperor's pale face and silver strands at the temples, Wei Qing walked forward.

”Father, if you were to look at these papers by yourself, I think it would be a long time before that. Do you believe in me?”

Old Emperor formed a fist and coughed twice, ”Do you have a good way to help us?”

Wei Qing nodded, ”I will first pick out the important parts. As for the unimportant ones, I will pick them out and mark them for the emperor.”

Old Emperor was indeed tired, adding that his body was too weak, Wei Qing had to help him pick out the most important parts.

Wei Qing took the paper and pen, drew out a table, and began to write.

Old Emperor also slightly narrowed his eyes for a moment, then quickly woke up.

Seeing the papers on the table that were already neatly sorted out, the Old Emperor's gaze at Wei Qing was filled with praise.

According to the drawing that Wei Qing drew for him, Old Emperor took care of it very quickly.

Three days later, the Old Emperor decided to secretly summon a few generals.

On that very night, several black figures quietly snuck into the royal dungeon.

Their attacks were extremely efficient. Basically, they had used a single sword to stop their throats, so they didn't even lose much blood.

Xiao Hanqi was successfully saved from the prison. Before he left, he was worried that the empress and these people would make a trip to Yi Kun Palace.

However, the leader of the group said coldly, ”Your Highness, this matter is not a small matter, we listened to the Second Prince. If you insist on saving the Queen, I'm afraid you will be implicated.”

There was reason behind his words, but Xiao Hanqi still felt uneasy.

These secret guards that Long Xiaotian had carefully chosen to train with were all experts, and very quickly, Xiao Hanqi successfully left the palace.

In the dense night, with his hands behind his back, Xiao Qingqian coldly gazed at the direction they had just disappeared in.

Xiao Hanqi, just wait and see!

These people brought Xiao Hanqi to Long Xiaotian's temporary residence. When Xiao Hanqi saw him, he naturally couldn't help but express his gratitude.

However, he had underestimated Long Xiaotian's ambition.

Long Xiaotian did not save him for nothing.

He passed a piece of sheepskin roll in front of Xiao Hanqi, ”Your Highness, this prince's attempt to save you can be considered as a free gift. However, if you don't show the slightest bit of sincerity in what's to come, this prince will not help you anymore. ”

Xiao Hanqi frowned, and his gaze slowly shifted from his face to the sheepskin roll.

”Second Prince, aren't you being too greedy?” Xiao Hanqi's eyebrows were twisted into a lump as he stood up in anger and glared at Long Xiaotian.

Long Xiaotian was not angry, he picked up the teacup by his side and used the lid of the cup to gently wipe away the foam on it.

”Crown Prince, if this prince hadn't ordered someone to save you today, you wouldn't have been able to sit here and haggle with this prince!”

Xiao Hanqi was at a loss for words.

”If you don't sign, then it's very simple. The crown prince can go up against the empress dowager alone!”

In this period of time, he had also made some inquiries about the matters of the palace.

In the past few days, she had even met with a few martial generals in secret, seemingly preparing for Xiao Hanqi's arrival.
