After leaving Qinzheng Hall that day, I waited for another three days before the imperial edict came down.
Everything went as Qin Zhen expected, Xiao Chengye divided his power into two, letting Hu Yafei and Yuan Xu jointly lead the army.
Xiao Chengye's calculations were ringing, and he was still thinking about checks and balances in this situation.
Let Yuan Xu and Hu Yafei supervise each other so that one of them will not become dominant in the future.
The next day after the matter was settled, Hu Yafei took Zhao Qing to the palace.
The first thing Hu Yafei said when she entered the door was: "I have to say, you crazy woman knows the emperor very well."
She calculated Xiao Chengye's reaction clearly, as if Xiao Chengye had followed her orders.
Qin Zhen smiled: "Do you think I went to the palace just to have fun?"
She was coaxing Xiao Chengye.
Without those efforts, she would not have been able to speak with such confidence in front of Xiao Chengye today.
Hu Yafei laughed, pointed at Qin Zhen, and said: "You are so scary."
Qin Zhen smiled and did not refute this sentence.
"We are going on an expedition tomorrow, and I came here today to say goodbye to you." Hu Yafei became serious, "After we leave, we may never have the chance to return to the capital again."
She pulled Zhao Qing beside her and said to Qin Zhen: "Brother Zhao Qing grew up in Longhu Mountain and regards you as relatives. He gave up everything to follow me to southern Xinjiang this time. I hope you don't blame him. If you do,
, just blame me. I know that the one thing Brother Zhao Qing hates the most is you, and he feels very sad."
Qin Zhen raised her head to look at Zhao Qing, but the other party turned his head and looked at Hu Yafei intently.
Hu Yafei was still saying: "When I come this time, I want to make you a promise. I swear that I will be very good to Brother Zhao Qing in this life, and I will never let him down. So, I hope you can rest assured."
He gave it to me."
Her behavior made Zhao Qing look like a married girl. She hurriedly came to make promises to her parents.
Qin Zhen looked up at Zhao Qing: "Brother, what do you think?"
Zhao Qing came to his senses and said dryly: "I do."
Qin Zhen: "..."
She suddenly laughed.
These two people are truly a perfect match.
One is outgoing, like a warm little sun. The other is introverted, chasing the light silently like a sunflower.
"It doesn't matter if you leave the capital, Southern Xinjiang is more suitable for you." Qin Zhen smiled and looked at the two of them, "I hope you are happy."
Hu Yafei raised her head: "Of course, we will."
She looked at Qin Zhen: "I'm going to southern Xinjiang. Is there anything else you want me to do? Let me return a favor to you."
Qin Zhen looked at her steadily: "Two things."
"First, protect my brother and don't let him regret going to southern Xinjiang with you." Qin Zhen said in a deep voice, "Second, let Ayan return to me intact."
Hu Yafei didn't think twice and said directly: "Put it on me."
She had been a little woman for too long, and now she seemed to have turned into that scorching sun-like little princess in southern Xinjiang.
Zhao Qing looked at her like this, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.
Hu Yafei looked like this when they first met.
He hoped that she would stay like this for the rest of her life.
A few people said a few more words before saying goodbye reluctantly.
After the people left, Qin Zhen closed her eyes and leaned on the chair a little tired.
Linglong on the side felt a little distressed and whispered: "Princess, please come in and take a rest?"
Qin Zhen shook her head and said softly: "No, Mr. Yuan will come over later. I still have some things to discuss with him."
Linglong didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just kneaded Qin Zhen's calves silently.
As the month progresses and she has been working hard these days, Qin Zhen's legs become a little swollen.
Linglong and Manman felt heartbroken every time they saw her, but they didn't know how to help her.
If the prince were here, he would definitely not let the princess work so hard.
But now that the prince is away, the entire palace is supported by the princess. In addition, the princess must always pay attention to the affairs in southern Xinjiang and compete with Xiao Jue in a battle of wits and courage.
Their princess is still pregnant with a child.
Linglong lowered her head, her eyes a little red.
Qin Zhen opened her eyes and saw that she couldn't laugh or cry: "What's going on?"
Linglong pursed her lips, and after a long time, she said in a depressed tone: "If the prince sees you like this, I don't know how distressed he will be."
Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Then you must never tell him. If he knows, he will nag him endlessly, and he will be annoyed to death."
After saying this, Qin Zhen seemed to suddenly think of something, and added: "There may be tears... You don't know how difficult it is to coax him."
exquisite:"……"
Qin Zhen rarely thought about Lou Yan these days, but now that Linglong brought up the subject, she suddenly couldn't hold it back.
"Don't look at his usually cold demeanor, but he is actually like a child who hasn't grown up yet, being coquettish and clingy..."
Qin Zhen squinted her eyes slightly and said in a very soft voice: "He said that he couldn't sleep without me. Ever since we were together, he had to be coaxed to sleep by me every night. This time I went to southern Xinjiang, I don't know.
Can he sleep well?"
Linglong has never heard Qin Zhen talk about Lou Yan.
Now that I hear it, I am shocked.
She didn't expect that in Qin Zhen's eyes, Lou Yan would have such an image.
It can be seen how different Lou Yan is in front of Qin Zhen and in front of outsiders.
It is said that their prince has to be coaxed to sleep by the princess every night. I am afraid no one in the world would dare to believe this.
Linglong raised her head and looked at Qin Zhen, suddenly filled with happiness: "Princess...is she missing the prince?"
Qin Zhen shut her mouth and remained silent for a long time.
After sitting in silence for a while, Qin Zhen took a deep breath and cheered up: "Old Master Yuan should be here soon, right? You go to the door to greet him."
Linglong watched her quickly collect her emotions, as if her vulnerability just now seemed like an illusion.
"Yes, slave, let's go now." Linglong stood up, turned around and walked out.
Their princess is really a very, very powerful person.
———
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yao pinched his nose and poured the last bowl of soup into his throat, then closed his mouth tightly to endure the nausea.
When he opened his eyes after a while, Xiao Yao's eyes had become a little red from holding back.
In front of him was the young imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital, who was reaching out to feel Xiao Yao's pulse.
After a while, the imperial doctor stood up and said softly to Xiao Yao: "Your Majesty, the fourth prince is feeling well. There is no need to use this prescription anymore."
A flash of light flashed in Xiao Yao's eyes, and he asked slowly: "What about the medicine after this..."
The young imperial doctor lowered his head and said lightly: "It's medicine that contains three parts of poison."
Xiao Yao knew immediately that he could not drink any more medicine from now on.
The young imperial doctor took a few steps back and whispered: "Wei Chen's mission has been completed. From now on, he will return to the imperial hospital to study medical skills. Please take care of yourself in the future."
