Chapter 408 Entering the palace to face the saint!
Lou Yan left too hastily, and the news of Yuan Chu's disappearance could not be suppressed. It spread on the day Lou Yan left, causing an uproar in the entire court.
Lou Yan was responsible for the incident in Southern Xinjiang from the beginning. When Xiao Jue came back, he tried to reach out and was beaten back by Lou Yan. Now that Lou Yan left and there was no one in the court to take charge, Xiao Jue's idea came to Nanjiang again.
on this matter.
In Qinzheng Hall, Xiao Chengye frowned silently.
Xiao Jue stood below, eyes slightly lowered, waiting for Xiao Chengye's final decision.
Xiao Jue is not afraid of Xiao Chengye's disapproval, because apart from himself, Xiao Chengye has no one available.
The second child is a loser, the fourth child is too sick to get up, the third child has gone to the battlefield, and now Xiao Chengye is the only one left by his side.
In the past, he didn't think about this and wanted to compete with others. Now he has figured it out. If Xiao Chengye has no choice but him, then what else does he have to fight for?
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Xiao Chengye spoke: "The matter in Southern Xinjiang..."
"Your Majesty," a young eunuch came in from outside and interrupted Xiao Chengye, "Princess Anshun wishes to see you."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment.
Qin Zhen has not shown up for a long time.
Xiao Jue turned his head uncontrollably and stared at the entrance.
Xiao Chengye didn't think too much and said directly: "Let her come in."
After a while, everyone saw someone coming in from the door.
Qin Zhen rarely wore complicated palace clothes, but even so, she could not hide her bulging belly.
She didn't show up for a long time, but when she appeared, she looked like this, making everyone present wide-eyed in an instant.
Xiao Chengye ran down from the dragon chair in shock and looked at Qin Zhen with wide eyes: "Zhen Zhen, you, what are you..."
Xiao Jue on the side stared at her bulging belly, almost breaking his teeth with hatred.
Qin Hong, who was standing in the corner, stared over and looked over. He was like ants on a hot pot, spinning around in circles.
Qin Zhen smiled and was about to salute Xiao Chengye, but Xiao Chengye pulled her up.
Qin Zhen didn't force herself, she stood up straight and said with a smile: "As your father can see, I'm pregnant. It's been six months."
Although I have seen it, hearing Qin Zhen say it with my own ears still gives people a different feeling.
Xiao Chengye was a little uncontrollable with excitement: "Okay, let me tell you that that brat from the third place hid you so tightly, it turns out it was because of this... He was really capable of doing it, and even I dared to hide it from you.
"
"It's not my fault, Ayan," Qin Zhen said softly, "It was my idea and I didn't tell anyone."
Xiao Chengye was puzzled: "This is a great good thing, why should we hide it?"
"There is a legend among the people that it is better for the child to keep it secret when the fetus is still young and to wait until everything is stable before announcing it." Qin Zhen said, "This is Ayan and I's first child, and we both take it very seriously.
, I didn’t want any accidents to happen, so I hid it.”
"Father, if you want to blame me, blame me."
When Xiao Chengye heard this, he lost all his anger.
"What do I blame you for?" Xiao Chengye looked her up and down and said, "I know how much the third child is looking forward to having a child with you. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he should be more cautious."
Xiao Chengye glanced at her bulging belly: "I also hope that this child can be born safely."
Xiao Chengye went back and sat down, and quickly called to Gao Cheng: "Quick, quick, give Zhen Zhen a seat. Don't let her stand. What if the child is hurt?"
Gao Cheng had a smile on his face and quickly arranged a chair for Qin Zhen.
After Qin Zhen sat down, Xiao Jue looked over and said, "Congratulations to the third brother and sister."
The smile on Qin Zhen's face faded a little, and her eyes fell elsewhere, without even looking at Xiao Jue, as if she didn't hear what he said at all.
Xiao Chengye glanced at Xiao Jue, a little dissatisfied, how could this person be so incapable of seeing? He knew that others didn't want to see him, but he still moved forward. If someone hurts the fetus in the belly with anger, let alone the Qin family, just say that he is far away.
The third child in southern Xinjiang is still crazy?
Xiao Chengye gave Xiao Jue a warning look before talking to Qin Zhen again.
"Why did you come to the palace all the time today? It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant. If anything happens, just ask someone to come to the palace to tell you something." Xiao Chengye seemed to pay special attention to the child in Qin Zhen's belly.
Qin Zhen smiled: "I haven't been out for a long time, so I want to come out and do some activities. What's more, I may not have seen my father for a long time, so I want to come and see him."
Xiao Chengye was coaxed into smiling: "You will coax me."
The two chatted for a while, and then Qin Zhen suddenly changed the subject and talked about something else.
"I met Mr. Yuan on the way into the palace," Qin Zhen sighed leisurely and said, "The man who used to be so energetic now looks like he has aged many years all of a sudden and has no energy left.
Already."
The old Mr. Yuan she mentioned was the head of the Yuan family and the father of Yuan Chu.
This old senator was a good soldier on the battlefield when he was young. Now he has retired and has been serving in the Ministry of War.
Yuan Chu is his legitimate son, and he has always had high hopes. Now that Yuan Chu has disappeared on the battlefield, it is very dangerous. As a father, how can he not be worried?
Xiao Chengye sighed, "I hope he can survive this."
"Why do I look at him? He doesn't seem to be well?" Qin Zhen said slowly, "My son is missing, but he can't do anything. He can only watch and worry. If it were me, I'm afraid
He will be anxious to death early on. Hey, I don’t know if he can hold on until Major General Yuan Chu is found."
Xiao Chengye frowned: "Is it so serious?"
Qin Zhen nodded.
Xiao Chengye thought for a while: "What should we do?"
"How about... find something for him to do?" Qin Zhen said tentatively, "Let him get busy. Once he has support, he might be able to get through this."
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something: "It's better to let him go to southern Xinjiang and let him find his son by himself. I think this is what he is thinking about most now."
"Nonsense," Xiao Chengye glared at her, "The old man is old, how can he still withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling? I'm afraid he will collapse before he reaches southern Xinjiang."
Qin Zhen pouted: "What should we do? He doesn't want to do anything else now, he just wants to find his son."
Xiao Chengye: "..."
Xiao Chengye seemed to suddenly think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Then let him find it."
A smile flashed across Qin Zhen's eyes, but she asked innocently: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let him go to southern Xinjiang?"
"If you don't go to Southern Xinjiang," Xiao Chengye said as if he had finally solved a problem, "Let him be responsible for the reserve supplies for the war in Southern Xinjiang. It can be regarded as a contribution to finding his son."
