No matter how much Cui Shuwang resisted, Xiao Yinhan's decision remained unchanged.

And when other people learned that they were going to Huai'an Mansion, their reaction was exactly as Cui Shuwang guessed.

Almost immediately, people familiar with the matter turned their attention to Bai Muzhi, who was also surprised and entranced.

"How could this happen? In fact, I can do it by myself. He doesn't need to go out of his way..."

The girl lowered her head, her fair cheeks stained with a light blush, looking shy and charming.

"Now do you believe that the prince cares more about Miss Bai in his heart?"

Shunzi was also shocked by the prince's decision, and Nanming's eagerness to show off sounded in his ears: "Obviously official duties are more important, but for the sake of Miss Bai, the prince is even willing..."

"Shut up! You are slandering the prince by saying such things!"

Shunzi turned back sharply, looking at the enemy as if he was looking at him.

Nan Ming was startled, and then his expression became more sarcastic: "Okay! Even if you don't mention this, the prince is more special to Miss Bai than anyone else. The empress you protect the most is nothing compared to Miss Bai..."

"I told you to shut up, you don't understand, do you?"

Shunzi couldn't bear it any longer and punched Nanming.

Nanming got punched inexplicably, and was also angered by him: "Come on! I'm afraid you won't succeed?"

The long-standing conflict between the two finally broke out at this moment, and they entangled each other mercilessly.

When the beaten two people were tied up in front of Xiao Yinhan by his soldiers, he didn't even ask why they were fighting. He punished Shunzi:

"If you don't understand your responsibilities, go back!"

The man's cold words were like countless steel needles that pierced into Shunzi's heart, causing blood and flesh to bleed.

Responsibilities...

Ever since he failed to protect the side concubine, the prince has never looked at him directly again.

Still willing to keep him by his side and not drive him away, he should already be grateful to Dade.

If he hadn't protected his concubine, nothing would have happened to her.

Shunzi's nose sore, a big man almost burst into tears.

Without a single rebuttal, he knelt down and accepted the punishment: "This subordinate accepts the punishment."

"roll!"

Shunzi was taken away by the soldiers and tortured with a cane. After the beating, he was kept in solitary confinement and no one was allowed to see him.

Seeing his miserable state, Nan Ming regretted for a moment. Just as he was thinking about how to explain, he heard the man's cold voice coming from above his head: "Twenty sticks, drag him out."

Just... gone?
Nan Ming's eyes opened slightly. Compared with Shunzi's punishment, he was twice as light!
Could it be that the prince thinks he is right?
For a moment, Nanming's heart was beating wildly, and he felt as if he had glimpsed some terrible secret.

If he hadn't been guilty at this moment, he would have really wanted to rush to Shunzi and let him know that the prince was favoring him and that he was right!
"Subordinates admit punishment!"

Nan Ming acknowledged it with a loud voice, and he thought he had received some kind of reward.

Even when he was really punished, he was more relaxed than he imagined.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Nan Ming being helped away by the soldiers, Bai Muzhi's eyes showed concern.

Nan Ming felt warm in his heart and smiled habitually: "I have rough skin and thick flesh. This small injury is nothing. Miss Bai doesn't need to worry."

"How could it be okay? What happened? Xiao...why did he punish you?" Bai Muzhi frowned lightly, mentioning Xiao Yinhan's incident, a flash of discomfort flashed across his face.

Is it because she has such a good relationship with the deputy captain and he is jealous, so he deliberately makes things difficult for him?

Thinking like this, Bai Muzhi showed some self-blame: "Is it because I got you involved? I'll go find him!" As she said that, she was about to leave, but when Nan Ming, who didn't know what she was thinking, heard this, he thought she had already Known from others.

I was a little embarrassed for a moment. How dare I ask Miss Bai to go to the prince?

Protecting Miss Bai was something he did voluntarily, so how could she be implicated?

"Miss Bai, stay! This is all my own decision and has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing that Bai Muzhi didn't believe it, Nanming had a flash of inspiration when he was anxious: "If Miss Bai is free, why don't you go and see Shunzi? He has suffered more injuries than me and needs to be locked up."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was okay, didn't Shunzi always think his side concubine was okay?

If Miss Bai pleads for him and asks the prince to spare him, let's see if he dares to fight with him in the future!

"I will tell him that Miss Bai helped him." He said seriously.

Bai Muzhi agreed, but shook his head: "I will definitely help him, but there is no need to tell him specifically. It's just a small matter. I'm not the kind of person who wants to repay a favor. Besides, these things originally happened because of me... ..."

Nan Ming disagreed and said: "How can I blame you, Miss Bai? It's obvious that that guy can't see the reality!"

After talking to Nan Ming, Bai Muzhi turned around and went to find Xiao Yinhan.

He did not rest in the tent, but stood by the river and looked into the distance. There were no soldiers waiting around him. This time, Bai Muzhi successfully got closer.

"Why don't you rest in the tent? What if you catch a cold?"

It was early spring and the weather was still cold. When she went out, she still held a small hand stove in her hand, while the man stood by the river wearing only single clothes, as if he was torturing himself.

"Just wait, I'll bring you the cloak..."

Bai Muzhi said that he was about to leave, but was kept by the male protagonist: "No need. What do you want?"

Xiao Yinhan finally looked back at him. The ice-like coldness and alienation on his face made Bai Muzhi feel uncomfortable again.

She pursed her lips. She didn't know when she started, she became less and less confident when facing him, and even a little timid:

"It's nothing. I just heard that you punished Shunzi and wanted to intercede for him."

Suppressing the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Bai Muzhi raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, with a pair of gentle and moving eyes:
"Shunzi is also an old man who has been with you for many years. You have punished him and realized his mistake, so there is no need to confine him anymore, right? Just think of me as begging you, please spare him this time."

A strange light flashed in Xiao Yinhan's black eyes. He did not agree or disagree, but asked: "How do you know this?"

Bai Muzhi didn't think too much and directly told Xiao Yinhan what Nan Ming said.

"So, can you?"

As she spoke, she reached out and wanted to pull the man's sleeve, but he avoided it before touching it.

Xiao Yinhan lowered his eyes to block the emotions in his eyes.

He has obviously ordered to be silenced, but some people still don't understand.

There is no need to keep people who don’t know who the master is.

"I see."

After leaving these words, Xiao Yinhan raised his hand, and soldiers hiding in the dark immediately came forward to "please" Bai Muzhi away.

"Then do you agree?"

Seeing the man turn around and ignore the man's back again, Bai Muzhi felt inexplicably frustrated.

It was obvious that he had done so much for her and she decided to forgive him, but why was he as cold as ever every time she took the initiative to show her kindness?

She doesn't understand, really doesn't understand...
