1545 For Royal Father

"Tomorrow at this time, the king will see the complete evidence of Second Royal Brother hiring someone to kill his younger brother."

The second prince Mo Lu's body shook, and he hastily picked up a brush to sign the pledge, sealing it with blood. He would not be able to disavow it.

"Very good." The crown prince nodded and reached out to put away the pledge. He then looked at the second prince icily. "Later, Twelfth Brother will be training in the barracks for some time. I hope you will first contemplate every action you plan to take. The so-called restriction by Heavenly Law is not just an empty scare. Even this crown prince cannot do anything about Heavenly Law, let alone… you ants."

After saying this, the crown prince left the second prince Mo Lu's study with Huifeng.

The moment he was about to step out, he paused but did not turn his head. He only remarked coldly, "I am only letting you off on account of Royal Father."

"You should also be grateful that you have a loving father." Crown Prince Mo walked out of the door after saying this placidly.

The old king was already pitiful enough, having to send away his eldest son. If he also had to lose his second son, then his body probably couldn't take it.

He was purely… thinking of Royal Father, otherwise…

After Mo Lian stepped out of the second prince's study, he looked up at the horizon. He sighed gently in his heart: It was time to say goodbye to Qiaoqiao.

Inside the Marquis of Jiayuan's main room.

Qiao Zhongbang glared at his younger daughter Qiao Lin who had spiritedly bounced out in a male getup. He fumed with anger as he yelled, "What are you doing? Quickly go and change out of these inappropriate clothes!"

"Dad, I've already told Sister! Tomorrow, I'm going to go to the barracks with younger brother to train. To walk on the path of the strong, I must learn to be independent and strong-willed! Of course, the most important reason is to take care of Xiao Sen."

Qiao Sen had changed into an energetic riding outfit and grimaced at Qiao Lin. "It's not certain who will be taking care of whom."

Meanwhile, the little monk was biting his small handkerchief by the side, sniveling as he looked pitifully at Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu hugged the little baldy and comforted, "Hey, the old monk had told me that he was going to come pick you up in three years. After the new year counts as one year, so there are only two years left. The old monk will definitely come back to find you."

Even so, the little monk kept sniffling.

Qiao Mu looked down at him, rubbing his little bald head. "Don't cry. Sister promises you that I will definitely come back in three years. This journey to the Six Prefectures will be arduous with unseen dangers. I cannot bring you there."

"Stay at home and work hard to read and recite scriptures, as well as cultivate diligently. Sister guarantees that you will be able to see me soon."

The little monk sniffled a bit longer before nodding pitifully.

Wei Ziqin's eyes had also reddened as she stood by the side. Her children were all leaving home one by one. Xiao Sen was still so young, while Xiao Lin'er was only a half-grown girl. She wondered if they could take care of themselves well.

"Mom, a young hawk needs to spread its wings and fly before it can grow up into a brave warrior in the future! Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my younger brother the whole way!"

When the crown prince heard this declaration after stepping through the door, he sized up Qiao Lin's male getup and chuckled. "Mom, you indeed do not need to worry. Even though Xiao Sen will be going to train at the barracks, I have arranged for people to look out for them the whole way."

"Besides, he will also be accompanied by Yu'er." The crown prince paused before looking at Qiao Lin. "Qiao Lin, you really have decided?"
