Your Highness is wise — "Zhang Qingqing thought for a moment and said," But Chen Qingshui advised us not to act rashly. "
"Ignore him." Gu Fuyue waved his sleeve and said, "He probably betrayed us long ago. You didn't tell him about our plan, did you?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. This servant didn't say anything."
"That's good." Gu Fuyue took a sip of tea and said, "Next, we just need to wait and reap the benefits."

Midnight.
It was snowing heavily and the air was cold.
Luo Qingchen packed everything and left the palace in disguise.
She didn't bring anyone other than Zixin. Bai Situ was waiting for her at the south gate.
The Imperial Bodyguard who was working at the South Gate was his former comrade.
The carriage stopped and a woman in a moon-white dress slowly walked out. She wore a white veil and wore the bracelet Bai Situ had given her on her right hand. She nodded at Bai Situ.
"Qingchen … is that you?" Bai Situ rushed forward and grabbed her wrist. "I've finally waited for you. I don't need to hide in the palace anymore …"
The woman in white didn't say anything. She was waiting for someone to appear.
And it wasn't just one person.
A moment later, just as they were about to board the carriage, another carriage appeared nearby.
Bai Situ was shocked and looked at the woman in white. She glared and shook her head.
"Who are you? How dare you block General Bai's path."
"This king is here to see if Brother Situ has received the beautiful lady." Gu Fuyue was dressed in a black robe. He jumped down from the carriage and walked in their direction. "After all, it's a great crime to take the lady out of the palace."
At this moment, Bai Situ realized he had been tricked. He angrily walked out of the carriage and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"Oh, Brother Situ, don't be so rash!" Gu Fuyue's lips curled into a cold smile. "We're no longer partners."
"You … Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing the river?" Bai Situ lowered his voice and said, "Do you think I really want to elope with her?"
"This prince naturally knows that Brother Situ wants to hold more military power in your hands. After all, the Emperor can always support the deputy generals in your army."
He was Li Yi's elder brother, Li Rong.
These people were all trusted aides of the Lone Constellation Star. He originally wanted to make a move on Li Yi, but he didn't expect Luo Qingchen to interfere.
Fortunately, there was still Bai Situ, who gave him a new idea.
"Then what do you mean by this?"
"I'll get straight to the point." Gu Fuyue raised his eyebrows and said, "You need to give me a hundred thousand military tokens. After I ascend the throne, you and I will each have half of the military authority."
"Haha … So it turns out that the Fourth Prince was wary of me …"
"Of course!" Gu Fuyue narrowed his eyes and said, "Who doesn't understand military power?"
"And if I don't agree?"
"Eloping with the empress is a great crime." Gu Fuyue narrowed his eyes and looked at the carriage from the corner of his eye. "Am I right, Left Prime Minister?"
In the next second, Luo Heng slowly walked down from the carriage. His expression was ugly and his brows were tightly furrowed.
When Gu Fuyue came to find him tonight, he couldn't believe that his daughter would give up the position of empress to elope with Bai Situ.
After all, the Bai family's position in the imperial court was not what it used to be.
