Chapter 412 Do you want to go back to Southern Border?
After Mr. Yuan left, Qin Zhen was still sitting in her seat, her brows furrowed tightly.
Linglong rarely saw her like this and couldn't help but ask: "Princess, are you okay?"
Qin Zhen raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a little uneasy.
Over the years, she has ignored Yuan Xu.
Others may not know Yuan Xu, but she knows a little bit about him.
This person will definitely do no good things by Xiao Jue's side.
Over the years, Xiao Jue was far away in the imperial mausoleum, and Yuan Xu was trapped in that backyard. Despite such a long distance, the two never lost contact.
Yuan Xu was like a mouse hiding in the gutter. He stole many secrets when no one noticed him.
Qin Zhen was worried, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing her like this, Linglong could only comfort her in a low voice: "The prince has arranged everything when he left, so there is no need for the princess to worry. Our palace is like an iron barrel, not even a fly can fly in, and we can definitely guarantee the safety of the princess and the young master."
Qin Zhen raised her hand and placed it on her abdomen. After a while, she said, "Okay, I understand."
"You should work harder during this period and keep an eye on things in Southern Xinjiang. Also, arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Qin family."
After walking a few steps, Qin Zhen suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Linglong: "Do you remember the silver shop I often go to? You have also seen their master chef."
Linglong thought of the master chef of that silver shop. He was a very young man with an appearance that people would never forget after seeing him once. He seemed to have a very close relationship with the princess.
Linglong nodded: "I remember this."
"Send someone to secretly watch the Yinlou and follow the master. Make sure to ensure his safety when necessary."
Linglong was a little confused: "Who would be unfavorable to a silver jewelry maker?"
Qin Zhen pursed her lower lip, and then said: "I'm just afraid that he will be implicated by me."
After all, with the lessons learned from the previous life, Qin Zhen had to be careful.
Linglong didn't say much and turned around to make arrangements.
Time passes day by day, and it seems calm on the surface as if nothing happened, but underneath this calm surface there are waves and undercurrents.
The situation in southern Xinjiang was temporarily stabilized after Lou Yan rushed over, but there was not much progress, and Yuan Chu's whereabouts were still unknown.
As time went by, Qin Zhen's worries became more and more serious.
It stands to reason that Lou Yan knows Southern Xinjiang well. With his ability, it is impossible that he has not won the Southern Xinjiang King for such a long time.
She is not the only one who thinks so. Now everyone in the court is dissatisfied with Lou Yan. They think that this prince has a false reputation and there has been no progress at all for so long. They have made repeated suggestions that Xiao Chengye should call Lou Yan back and send other elite soldiers and generals there.
.
After Qin Zhen heard about it, she just sneered: "If Ayan can't handle it, what can they do?"
Looking around, there is no one in the court who can fight better than Lou Yan.
Linglong's voice was very low: "I heard that the eldest prince asked for orders from His Majesty and said that he was willing to go to southern Xinjiang to contribute to His Majesty."
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said in a cold voice: "Let him go to southern Xinjiang, and he will be like a meat bun and a dog, and he will never come back. Our Emperor, I am afraid that he has not reached this level of confusion."
"What does that mean?" Linglong was a little confused, "But what the princess said is that your majesty did not agree to the eldest prince's request."
Qin Zhen said coolly: "If your Majesty is stupid enough to send Xiao Jue to southern Xinjiang, then his role as emperor will be over."
Linglong's expression changed with fright, and she looked around subconsciously. After reading it, she came back to her senses. This was in the palace.
She wanted to remind the princess that walls have ears and not to say anything to others. But after seeing Qin Zhen's gloomy look, Linglong slowly swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Qin Zhen has been a little uneasy since the old man Yuan came here. These days, she often frowns as if she is worried about something.
Linglong didn't dare to ask, so she had to take care of her more carefully.
Qin Zhen raised her head and stared at the tea cup on the table. After a while, she suddenly said: "Xiao Jue will never give up. He will also think of other ways."
"No, Xiao Jue is not that stupid. He knew His Majesty would not let him go to southern Xinjiang, so why did he ask for help?" Qin Zhen murmured in a low voice, "Is it just to displease Your Majesty?"
She raised her hands to cover her face, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head.
Linglong was startled: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Zhen stood up quickly and strode out: "Follow me to a place."
Seeing her expression, Linglong didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed Qin Zhen out the door.
After leaving the palace, the carriage made several turns into a secluded alley, and finally stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.
Qin Zhen got off the carriage with Linglong's help and asked someone to knock on the door.
The door opened from the inside, and a boy stuck his head out and said cautiously: "Who are you looking for?"
Qin Zhen: "Is your master here?"
The young man looked at Qin Zhen's noble aura and did not dare to offend him, so he subconsciously said: "The master is practicing sword practice with his wife in the yard..."
Qin Zhen raised her feet and walked inside.
The boy was startled and didn't dare to stop him. He trotted along: "Hey, hey, how could you do this? Who are you..."
"This is the princess, she is an old friend of your master." Linglong looked at the young man and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you hurry up and inform your master?"
As soon as he heard the word "princess", the boy's legs almost softened with fear, and he quickly ran into the yard.
After a while, Zhao Qing and Hu Yafei personally greeted them from inside.
Yes, this courtyard is exactly where Zhao Qing and Hu Yafei, the former little princess of southern Xinjiang, lived.
Hu Yafei and Zhao Qing got married privately, ruining their engagement with Xiao Yao, which made the King of Southern Xinjiang angry. The King of Nanjiang sent a memorial to the capital and expelled the little princess of Southern Xinjiang from her home. From then on, Hu Yafei was just an ordinary daughter.
, is no longer the aloof Southern Xinjiang Princess.
After that, the two of them lived in this courtyard and lived a very low-key life.
Zhao Qingze still served in the Forbidden Army, and came back to accompany Hu Yafei as soon as he took office. The two lived a life like gods.
Qin Zhen may not have seen these two people for a long time.
Hu Yafei's eyes first fell on Qin Zhen's belly, and she said with a smile: "I heard that the princess was pregnant before, and I didn't believe it. Now that I see it, it is true."
Zhao Qing's eyes also drifted to her belly.
But Qin Zhen didn't have time to reminisce with them now. She directly took Hu Yafei's wrist and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to go back to southern Xinjiang?"
As soon as these words came out, Hu Yafei was immediately stunned.
"Go back to southern Xinjiang?" Hu Yafei's eyes flashed with sadness, and then he smiled, "Princess, you know I can't go back!"
