His voice paused for a moment, then he lifted his eyes to solemnly look at Bai Qingyan, and continued, "The Emperor has given Tuoba Yao this chance for revenge, and Yao... is deeply grateful, thus... is willing to do everything in his power to help the Zhou Kingdom conquer the world! To assist an Emperor like you to triumph over the land!"
Bai Qingyan nodded, "Good, you don’t need to worry about your safety. I will have people secretly protect you, and the Seventh Prince of the Dongyi Kingdom is in our Zhou Kingdom’s hands. The Empress of Dongyi will also do her utmost to protect you. I have already arranged for General Jiang Huaisheng to bring the navy ashore. From now on, General Huaisheng will follow your commands, but the navy led by Jiang Huaisheng, which appears to be Zhou’s forces... cannot directly confront the Yan Kingdom, do you understand?"
Tuoba Yao nodded, "Yao understands! Yao is young, if there are matters that are difficult to decide, Yao will have someone send a message to the Emperor for a decision."
"Another thing, many have seen the Seventh Prince of Dongyi, you will likely have to disguise your true appearance." Bai Qingyan turned to look at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping hurriedly took out a mask that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Tuoba Yao.
"To the outside, say... it was the Second Prince of the Dongyi Kingdom who sent people to assassinate the Seventh Prince, setting the ship on fire, and you have lost your appearance and voice..."
As Bai Qingyan finished speaking, Shen Qingzhu handed a small bottle of pills to Bai Qingyan.
"This was a medicine Doctor Hong accidentally created while treating my brother’s voice, it makes the voice hoarse, but does not prevent sound from being made." Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes, stroking the medicine bottle before pushing it towards Tuoba Yao, "Use this medicine for now, as the Seventh Prince of Dongyi gradually grows up, his voice slowly heals, others will forget what the original voice of the Seventh Prince of Dongyi was."
Tuoba Yao did not hesitate, taking the medicine he opened, he poured out a pill and swallowed it decisively.
Bai Qingjue appeared somewhat surprised, "Doesn’t the Prince of Wei fear... that this is poison from the Zhou Kingdom to control you?"
Bai Jinse nervously glanced at Tuoba Yao, then at her elder sister, "Eldest Sister!"
"It’s only natural!" Tuoba Yao remained calm, "Currently, I have nothing, the Emperor places me in the position of the Emperor of the Dongyi Kingdom, something must be used to control this pawn."
"Yusheng..." Bai Qingyan gently called the name Bai Jinse gave to Tuoba Yao, "Xiao Qi has given you a new name, Yusheng... Bai Yusheng, you bear the surname Bai, so you are part of the Bai family, not a pawn, the Bai family... will not use despicable means on its own members!"
Though Tuoba Yao was very composed, he was still a child, and no matter how calm he appeared, his lightly trembling pupils betrayed his inner thoughts, he tightly grasped the medicine bottle in his hand.
He looked at Bai Qingyan’s gentle smile, and his gaze fell on Bai Jinse.
"Bet the nation for three years... three years later, I will personally come to take you home!" Bai Qingyan then glanced at Bai Jinse, "Just like Xiao Qi said, let you live the rest of your life in peace and joy!"
"Eldest Sister... I want to stay and accompany Yusheng!" Bai Jinse said.
"No way!" Tuoba Yao was the first to oppose, his expression tense, looking at Bai Qingyan he bowed in a long salute, "Miss Qi is the Emperor’s own sister. If the Empress of Dongyi knew of Miss Qi’s identity, then the advantage of having the Prince of Dongyi in Zhou’s control would be utterly lost. Please, the Emperor, reconsider!"
"I know you are worried about Yusheng!" Bai Qingyan held Bai Jinse’s hand, "I will have Xingchen bring people to protect Yusheng!"
Bai Jinse’s eyes widened, "But... isn’t Xingchen the most skilled among your hidden guards, Eldest Sister!"
"Your Majesty, you must not!" Tuoba Yao kowtowed, "Tuoba Yao’s life is but a cheap one, the Emperor’s majestic status, how can the most capable hidden guard be put by Yao’s side!"
"I’ve said it, you are part of the Bai family, if you are willing to become Bai Yusheng, then follow the arrangements. If you only wish to be Tuoba Yao, then I will not force you." Bai Qingyan looked firmly at Tuoba Yao and said.
Tuoba Yao knelt, hands tightly grasping the mat beneath him, indecisive...
