Chapter 837 - 834: The Man of Qi Fears the Sky Falling
"In that case, I will act separately from General Xie. I will go to the Crown Prince’s residence to inform His Highness, while General Xie contacts the old troops. General Fu is already aware and will be on guard!" Bai Jinxiu was being candid with Xie Yuchang, telling him that they and Fu Ruoxi were family, and fighting between them must be avoided.
"Understood!" Xie Yuchang stood up to see Bai Jinxiu off.
"No need to see me off, General Xie. We must attend to urgent matters!"

Quan Yu, standing with head lowered outside the exquisitely embroidered light purple bed curtains, softly replied: "Your Highness, it is the cousin of the Princess of Zhen who is married to Qin Lang. Her relationship with the Princess of Zhen is as close as that of sisters born of the same mother!"
He reminded the Crown Prince that Bai Jinxiu’s relationship with the Princess of Zhen was like that of true sisters, hoping the Crown Prince would take her seriously.
