That night, Huang Fu Jie asked to see Emperor Sheng and said that he was sincere to Qiu Xinlan and didn't want to make things difficult for her, he was even more reluctant to force the Qiu family by his father's hand. He is willing to wait for Qiu Xinlan to change her mind for him. If not, he would also wish happiness for Qiu Xinlan.

Emperor Sheng seemed to be moved by his fourth son's true feelings and indicated that he will no longer question this matter.

The story spread, and people say the ugly prince is not ugly at heart. He is also one-sidedly devoted to the daughter of the Qiu family, thus he is a man of genuine feeling.

Of course, there are also people who know that Huang Fu Jie has gone out to play with a servant and mistreated concubines. What they say became the ugly fourth prince, the toad who wants to eat swan meat, just loosens the reins to grasp them better*1

The Qiu family was also hesitating, originally according to King Hui, they would never end up marrying their daughter to King Ning. But now, his own daughter's heart wavered and offered to meet King Ning.

So Huang Fu Jie and Qiu Xinlan really met quietly outside.

"Can you take the mask off and show me?" At the end of the walk, Qiu Xinlan asked Huang Fu Jie.

Huang Fu jie smiled, "This King is afraid to scare Miss Qiu."

"Its okay. "

Seeing that Qiu Xinlan insisted on seeing, Huang Fu Jie sighed and took off the mask.

Qiu Xinlan was surprised at first, then calmed down.

"I'm sorry, this King didn't mean to scare you." Huang Fu Jie put the mask back on.

"I'm the one who should say sorry." Qiu Xinlan's face flushed slightly, "I was just startled because of the birthmark on your face, when in fact you...weren't as rumored."

"Thanks Miss Qiu for your comfort." Huang Fu Jie thanked her with his hand.

Qiu Xinlan lowered her head, dangled a small handkerchief, and whispered, "And you are not as rude as rumors."

" Ha ha the rumors are terrible." Huang Fu Jie laughed indifferently.

"Thank you for coming to see me today." Qiu Xinlan greeted and left quietly accompanied by the maid.

Huang Fu Jie looked at the girl's departing back, and said in his heart that what Zhang Ping had said was true, and that his appearance was not as nightmarish to passers-by. At least now a great lady saw him and was only startled, but did not show fear. Of course it also has to do with the modesty that he purposefully shows.

"This girl is very nice." Zhang Ping suddenly said.

Huang Fu Jie turned back, "Yes, her family has taught her well. That gracefulness is probably a preparation for the future of an empress. Haha."

"Qiu Daren supports King Hui. This is something everyone knows. Does he want to marry Miss Qiu to King Hui?"

Huang Fu Jie nodded his head. "It's a pity that the Ye family took the lead first*. Perhaps Lao second favors the Ye family more than the Qiu family, so he gave the princess consort seat to Ye Zhan's younger sister."1

"How is the Qiu family still willing to work for King Hui? So much that they can agree to marry their daughter to you just because King Hui said so?"

"Ha ha." Huang Fu Jie smiled, "You are indeed smart, but you don't know much about human nature. The Qiu family and King Hui are like?grasshoppers tied to one rope*. Their family has a deep relationship with Hui Wang, and they can 't finish talking with just a few words "1

"So What if King Hui married The Ye? It's just a princess consort nothing more. The Qiu family looks at the future instead of the present. Besides, Qiu Xinlan is still young, and there is more than one Miss Qiu, are you afraid they will ran out of daughters?"

Zhang Ping nodded his head, feeling that his Wangye of his family had indeed become unrecognizable under the cultivation of the two elders.1

"Zhang Ping, I think the girl may agree to the marriage. "Huang Fu Jie laughs.

"Oh."

"What do you mean by 'oh' ?"

"Oh, it just means Oh." Zhang Ping turned and walked out.

Huang Fu Jie slowly followed behind with a hint of a smile.

While the whole capital is buzzing with the rumors, with both positive and negative comments about King Ning, the Qiu family suddenly received sad news.

Qiu Xinlan was killed on her way out of the city to the Jing'an Temple to seek incense.

Huang Fu Jie received this news and rushed to the Qiu house as fast as he could.

The sadness and anger displayed by this teenage King of Ning left an extremely deep impression on the Qiu family and all those who came to pay their condolences.

Qiu Xinlan's death caused a great stir in the capital.

King Ning vowed in front of Emperor Sheng that he would find the murderer.

The Crown Prince, King Hui, and King An also all stated that they would find the killer and punish them severely.

People with a discerning eye know that Qiu Xinlan's death was not like she was killed by a robber on the surface. Her death must be related to the battle between the crown prince and the King of Hui.

But some people also said, could it be that it was King Ning who was angry after being refused three or five times and found someone to kill Qiu Xinlan?

The suspicion that King Ning had killed someone was quickly dispelled. The Minister of Revenue Qiu Jie testified directly to inform people that his daughter had the idea of agreeing to the marriage a few days before she died. He also told him that the King of Ning was a man who could be entrusted for life.

The case was taken over by the Ministry of Justice, and two robbers allegedly robbed Qiu Xinlan were soon arrested. The results of the interrogation were startling. One of the robbers was the abandoned official of the crown prince's house in the East Palace. He was kicked out of the East Palace one year ago for offending the Crown Prince.

The robber said that he was not the crown prince's man. After leaving the prince's mansion, he joined an assassin organization. This time, he was ordered to play the robber to kill Qiu Xinlan.

The Officer in the Ministry of Justice wanted to force him to ask who the mastermind was, but the robber was killed that night. Another robber died too.

The case once again remains a mystery. No one knows whether the robber, who is said to be the killer, was really driven out of the East Palace by the crown prince, or whether it is a diversion*. These are the rumors from the outside world.1

Just when King Ning was heartbroken because his beloved girl was killed, the frontier sent an urgent official dispatch.

So King Ning naturally proposed to Emperor Sheng that he would go to the border to defend the country, even if he started as an ordinary soldier. Now he just wants to leave this sad place.

At the same time, King Hui, the second prince, also received the news that King An, the third prince, would also officially request* emperor Sheng to go to the border with Liu Bai, the general of his grandfather's national defense. So he immediately called together all the counselors, and finally decided to strongly support the fourth prince, King Ning, to go to the border.1

When he conveyed this meaning to the fourth prince, the fourth Prince showed great gratitude and said that he would help King Hui if he needed him one day. And in the last obscure words, he expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and revealed the information that he regarded the crown prince as the murderer.

The second prince, of course, is happy to see it. After that, he contacted the ministers of all parties and urged emperor sheng to agree that the fourth prince would go to the frontier.

After consulting with several important officials, Emperor Sheng wanted King Ning to follow the?General*?as a?General Magistrate*. As a result, the?white horse cavalry grand general, Yan JIng made a clear speech. He hoped that King Ning would have more experience in the army.2

Rather than serving as a General Magistrate, which might significantly affect the outcome of a war,Maybe he is more suitable to go into battle as a Colonel*1

Yan Jing's recommendation surprised everyone. Let a prince be a Colonel? Command two or three thousand soldiers to fight in person? This ... Does Yanjing want the fourth prince to die? Or does he want to retreat in order to advance?1

Regardless of the purpose of Yan Jing, many people are anxious that the emperor immediately agreed with Yan Jing's proposal.

After careful consideration, Emperor Sheng adopted the proposal of Liu Bai, the?Commander in Chief Protector Grand General. In the court, he appointed Huang Fu Jie, the fourth Prince and King of Ning, as?the 5th rank martial virtue deputy cavalry captain?to follow Liu Bai ,?the Protector Grand General, to the frontier and defend the country.2

The prince who went with him was also the third king of an and Liu Bai's grandson. King An is one rank higher than Huang Fu Jie, ranking fourth in the?4th rank Rapid as tiger chief commandant,?directly under central army.1

Before leaving the capital, King Ning, the fourth prince, met Minister Qiu and said he would avenge Qiu Xinlan in the future. Minister Qiu felt sorrowful*1

"Miss Qiu, I'm afraid the Crown Prince didn't have her killed, right?" Zhang Ping was packing his luggage and in two days, he and Huang Fu Jie would leave the capital for the border together.

Zhang Ping has been quite excited since he knew he was going to the frontier.。

What does frontier stand for? It represents that the emperor is far away, and the number of people who monitor them will be greatly reduced; it represents that the performance of his servant will not be paid special attention to anymore, and that he can finally carry out actual combat, and finally he doesn't have to act as a dumb and coward.

"You think it's me?" Huang Fu Jie still heard something wrong from Zhang Ping's agitated emotions.

"No, I don't think you'll hurt that girl." Zhang Ping turned and sat on the edge of the bed, slowly folding his profane clothes.

Huang Fu Jie smiled, "You're right, I won't hurt that girl."

Zhang Ping was relieved. Huang Fu Jie knew his expression very well, how could he not see the change.

But Lao second was a step faster than me. Huang Fu Jie goes to Zhang Ping and reaches out to raise Zhang Ping's chin.

I'm afraid the second one probably did not want to touch the girl, but who would have thought that Qiu Xinlan would really consider marrying me? Unfortunately, the second one would never leave a hidden danger to himself. It's ok to use Qiu Xinlan to woo the prince, but if you really marry Qiu Xinlan to another prince, it's different.

Zhang Ping patted his hand away. Huang Fu Jie didn't mind, he laughed softly and touched Zhang Ping's face again.

Thinking that Qiu Xinlan would force Lao second to have no choice but to kill her, don't you think it's funny.

When this girl was alive. Her only value is that she is Minister Qiu's daughter.

When the girl died, it was because she was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue and brought different benefits to the two princes.

Lao?second thought he had split* the crown prince and him, and even thought that he would receive support from now on.。1

He used her death as a stepping stone and embarked on the path he had set for himself. And it also confused the eyes of the second prince and win the sentiment of the Minister of Revenue.

If the girl hadn't died, he would have tried to kill her, too.

After all, a dead daughter of the Minister of Revenue would be more beneficial to him at this point than a living daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

Without her, he still could offer to go to the frontier, but the reasons wouldn't have been as strong and he wouldn't have been able to get the support of the other princes.

Without her, he might soon be married by his mother and forced to marry a princess to carry on the lineage of successor

Without her, he could not build another shield for Zhang Ping.

He was sincerely grateful for the girl's death. Maybe in the future, he can give her the seat of the princess consort.

"Could you not grope all the time, will you? Just sit there if you don't help." Zhang Ping doesn't like Huang Fu Jie's behavior of constantly finding the opportunity to touch and grope him, but he doesn't want to beat him, so he can only point out with his words.

In fact, he could teach him by hand, but maybe because of watching him being bullied badly for hours, somehow he developed the habit of not hitting him easily

"Zhang Ping, did you feel it when I touched you?"

Zhang Ping opened his mouth wide and raised his head to glare at the man.

"I want to make you feel good, so can you tell me, where do you feel the most when I touch you?"

" Wangye, do you really want to have a fight with this slaves?" Zhang Ping put away the clothes and said in a cold voice.

"Then let's take off our clothes and fight, shall we?" The Young King Ning began to untie his clothes as he said so.

Zhang Ping gets up to leave.

Huang Fu Jie hugged him and begged, "We don't have to go all the way, Just let me touch you and kiss you, I promise I won't make you feel bad. "

"Wangye, you are only fifteen!" I didn't have a sex drive like yours when I was 15!

"Ping, Qiu Xinlan is dead. You also say that she is a good girl, and she is the only one who likes* me. I even think it's good to make her my princess. But she was killed by the second son because he didn't want the Qiu family to support me secretly. "1

"Zhang Ping, I'm so sad. Will you stay with me? I only have you, I'm so afraid you also will ..."

In the 19th year of emperor Sheng's reign, on the 10th day of May, he sent out the first group of generals to defend the country in the capital.

At that time, everyone who stood at the head of the city and sent the army away did not expect that the battle that they had not been paying attention at all would last so long.1

It wasn't until the express report requesting reinforcements came in that Emperor Sheng and his ministers understood that the barbarians they had unwittingly ignored had become powerful once again.

his war will last for six years.
