The next day.

As soon as Qin Xiaoyao arrived at the military camp, she heard that the prince had come and came to see her.

When she entered the camp, the prince was already waiting for her inside.

The prince who was waiting for someone in the camp froze when he saw Qin Xiaoyao appear.

Immediately, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned, stepped forward and bowed his hand to the prince.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." He saluted.

"Marquis Xiaoyao is exempt from the courtesy." The prince said bravely, not daring to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

He didn't want to come here, but he had to come because of his mother's order.

The Queen Mother actually asked him to "cultivate feelings" with Xiaoyao Hou, and even asked him to pursue Xiaoyao Hou, so that Xiaoyao Hou willingly became his crown prince.

It’s simply appalling!

Qin Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at the prince unhappily.

"Your Highness, come here, but what's the matter?" he asked.

The prince has no real power in his hands and has basically no interaction with her, but this time he made a special trip to see her.

She couldn't think of any other reason besides what happened yesterday.

Empress Jia was really persistent. She had already clearly refused, and Xiang Yang had told her so much, but she still called the prince over.

"There is something." Feeling the low pressure on Qin Xiaoyao, the prince became even more nervous. But he could only say bravely.

Qin Xiaoyao saluted again.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Mother—the queen asked me to come to Xiaoyaohou's tent to assist Xiaoyaohou in handling the military affairs of the Ministry of War." The prince stammered.

Qin Xiaoyao's brows furrowed even deeper.

"The Ministry of War has not had much military affairs recently, and I can handle it alone. Your Highness is busy with affairs, so there is no need to waste time here." Qin Xiaoyao said directly.

Anyway, Queen Jia has an upright temperament.

Even if the prince sends the message back, she won't be afraid.

She has no interest in doing things with a soft-footed shrimp every day.

After hearing this, the prince breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Yes, Xiaoyaohou is right."

"Then I will take my leave first." After saying that, the prince hurriedly left. Quickly, he left Qin Xiaoyao's tent.

After that, he quickly left the military camp with his guards.

Along the way, it seemed as if there was a dog chasing me from behind.

Seeing this scene, King Huaiyin burst into laughter.

Xiaoyao Hou is really not an ordinary woman...

Also, with the prince's temperament, can he still secure the throne even if he doesn't fight for it?

Qin Xiaoyao felt much relieved when he saw the prince leaving.

Without thinking too much, I got busy.

An hour later.

Queen's palace.

After hearing the prince's report, Jia Hou's expression turned gloomy.

"So, Xiaoyao Hou asked you to leave, so you left?" he asked the prince displeased.

The prince was shocked.

"Yes - yes." He responded fearfully.

This look made Empress Jia even more angry.

"You are the current prince, and you are following my order to assist her in handling the affairs of the Ministry of War."

"She is just a minister, but she disobeyed orders and asked you to come back. You actually came back!"

The prince was instantly frightened.

He immediately knelt down towards Empress Jia.

"Mother, calm down!"

"Mother, forgive me!" she shouted in panic.

When Empress Jia saw this, she finally became furious.

He picked up the teacup on the desk next to him and threw it towards the prince.

"As a prince, I always kneel down! Are your knees so weak?!"

The prince became more and more frightened and let the teacup break beside him, not knowing what to do.

I wanted to get up, but I didn't dare.

"Queen Mother, please calm down, Queen Mother, please calm down!" I could only mutter.

Empress Jia suddenly felt a headache.

He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, forcing down his anger.

When the prince saw this scene, he wanted to go forward and ask about the situation.

But because of fear, he still chose to kneel.

After a while, Empress Jia calmed down a bit, and then she finally looked at the prince.

Seeing the fear and worry in the prince's eyes, the hatred in his heart became lighter.

The prince is cowardly, but also filial.

"Xiaoyao Hou is the pillar of the country. Only with her can the Jin Dynasty enjoy long-term peace and stability."

"In addition, she is highly skilled in martial arts and has courage that is invincible."

"If you can get her help, no one will be able to harm you in the future."

"In addition, if she becomes your crown princess, I can rest assured that she will be given more military power."

Empress Jia's eyes darkened, "Even, let her take charge of the world's troops."

Most of the troops and horses of the Jin Dynasty are still in the hands of King Huaiyin.

Xiaoyao Hou was the only person she could think of who could logically replace King Huaiyin.

When the prince heard this, he was completely shocked.

"Queen Mother——" He looked at Empress Jia in fear again.

I was afraid that this was Empress Jia's test of herself.

He once dreamed of waiting for his father to die and then sit in that position.

But after being punished and frightened by his mother a few times, he gave up those thoughts.

Now, he doesn't dare to think about anything, doesn't dare to want anything, he just wants to survive.

Seeing the prince's expression, Empress Jia sighed in her heart.

"The eldest prince is no longer here. You are the queen's legitimate son and the eldest among the existing princes."

"In the future, it will be natural for you to inherit your father's throne."

The prince's heart trembled, but his eyes were still filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Queen Jia continued: "Before, there were some things that my mother acted without consideration."

"Now, both your mother and your father are in poor health."

"I can only try my best to help you pave the road while I still have some energy left."

"It also saves the King of Huaiyin from continuing to be ambitious. When the queen mother is gone, you will not be able to secure your position."

The prince's heart trembled again.

King Huaiyin's ambitions were known to both the government and the public.

Before, he even secretly hoped that King Huaiyin could defeat his mother and regain the prestige of their imperial family.

But now——

Is the Queen Mother really planning to let him succeed the throne and return the imperial power to the Huangfu family?

The prince was a little moved at this time.
