The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

"Creak" sound.

The door was suddenly opened. Qing'er just stuck her head out and her eyes met a gaze. The scream that was suppressed in her throat stopped instantly.

Qin Ze looked up at the little girl who poked her head out of the door.

I watched the frown on her round pink face gradually relax, then her mouth opened, her anger turned into surprise, and then into panic, and her eyes began to roll around.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, but after a few breaths it was broken by Qing Er, who stammered:

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" After saying this, she hurriedly threw the wooden stick in her hand back and into the room.

"Come and see how she's recovering."

"I just cried, now... I should be asleep." Qin Ze said.

After the girl in his arms made a squeak, her body seemed to freeze and she became silent. At least at this moment, Qin Ze felt that the person in his arms was not a delicate girl, but more like a piece of wood.

She couldn't have fainted from excessive grief, she was still sobbing just now.

So she must be pretending to be asleep.

After all, the girl now looked too weak and frail, which was very different from the strong and brave appearance she always showed, and Qin Ze didn't want to expose the girl's disguise.

Qing'er glanced at Jin Changge in Qin Ze's arms, and immediately understood.

So she sighed, looked sad, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the young lady has been losing her appetite since she found out that you led your troops to Nanze. Although she didn't say it, I know she must be worried."

"As you know, it is not an easy task to attack Nanze. I think it is for this reason that Miss is unable to sleep or eat."

Qin Ze nodded: "So that's how it is."

"Nonsense! That's not the case at all! His army is so strong that Nanze will be conquered sooner or later. He is the king and it is impossible for him to be the vanguard in the siege. Besides, he has a group of powerful generals guarding the city. What should I worry about? !"

"Qing'er, you are talking nonsense! Shut up and go back to sleep!" Jin Changge, who had already fallen asleep with his head buried, shouted in his heart.

Qing'er rubbed her eyes, which turned red. She looked at Qin Ze and continued:

"Yes, Your Majesty, you may not know Miss very well. Miss is just like that. She has a lot of things hidden in her heart, but she just likes to keep them to herself. The night before you left for Nanze, I saw her unable to sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed."

Hearing this, Qin Ze was stunned, and then he said: "That's not the case."

"Although I led the troops to attack Nanze, I was in the rear."

"That's right! That's how it is!" Jin Changge agreed in his heart.

Qing Er shook her head and said, "Who knows? After all, I am not the worm in the lady's stomach, so I don't know exactly what she is thinking. But the lady must have a lot of things in her heart, otherwise why would she lose so much weight in just a few days?"

"I think..." Qing'er was silent for a moment, then continued:

"It should also be related to the people in the palace."

"You know, although the young lady said that she didn't care, after all, those people were her family. Others were fine, but the young lady's second brother treated her very well, and the young lady also missed her in her heart."

Seeing Qin Ze was silent, Qing'er hurriedly added: "I shouldn't have said this, but I thought that Your Majesty is broad-minded and a rare wise ruler. I think you... won't mind if I say this."

Qing'er opened her round eyes and looked at Qin Ze cautiously.

"It's okay, just say it out loud. There's no need to hide it. I won't mind it." Qin Ze didn't care.

Jin Changge breathed a sigh of relief, and any dissatisfaction he had towards Qing'er disappeared.

"This girl can still talk."

But unexpectedly, Qing'er's next words almost made Jin Changge jump up.

I only heard Qing Er sigh:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that Miss is pretending to be strong now. After this great change, Miss has no one to rely on. Although Your Majesty has shown me your love and allowed me to go to Jinling with you in the future, you also know that Miss, after all..."

Qing'er's eyes dimmed, and then she continued: "After all, the young lady's family background is still there, maybe some sensible people will not embarrass her, but there are so many people in the world, there will always be some people who want to slander the young lady for this."

"The young lady is a tough person on the outside but a soft one on the inside. Now she is helpless. I... I'm really afraid she can't hold on..." When she said this, Qing'er's eyes welled up with tears and she lowered her head and sobbed.

"I'm not! I didn't! I'm fine!!!" Jin Changge argued in his heart.

Looking at this sincere little girl, Qin Ze couldn't help but feel emotional, so he said:

"Don't worry. Her assassination attempt that night has proved her determination. When we return to Jinling, I will order people to spread her deeds widely."

"Who blames her?"

Qing Er wiped away her tears and nodded, "Then... maybe that will be better."

"In fact, when I heard that His Majesty was going to bring the young lady back to Jinling, I was very happy. But I was also afraid that someone in the palace would secretly point fingers at the young lady in the future. With the young lady's status,... I was really worried in my heart. Alas." She sighed again.

Qin Ze shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Why worry."

"Don't you know who I am?"

Qing Er hurriedly said: "Of course I know, you are His Majesty, the King of Yan Country! You are the Supreme Ruler, you are..."

Qin Ze interrupted: "Isn't it enough to know?"

"Isn't it just a matter of a word from me? Aren't you worrying too much, little girl?"

Qing'er waved her hands quickly and said urgently, "No, Your Majesty."

"It's just that the young lady is all alone now, and I'm the only one around her. I'm just a little girl, and I can't help her with anything because of my humble status. But you are different. It's said that a saint's words are as good as gold. You said this in person and can protect the young lady. I... I'm really happy."

While speaking, Qing'er was wiping away the tears that refused to fall, but a smile appeared on her face.

Qin Ze was also really amused by her appearance.

"No, you are not an ordinary little girl."

"It's rare to find someone so articulate and loyal."

"Is...is that so?" Qing'er put down her hands and smiled innocently.

Qin Ze pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Okay, it's getting late, it's time to send her back to the house."

"Come, give me a hand, my legs are a little stiff." Qin Ze didn't know how long he had been sitting there, and his lower body was indeed numb.

Qing'er nodded and hurried forward. Qin Ze took the hand she extended, and with his other hand he put his arm around the slender waist of the girl in his arms, then he slowly stood up.

Jin Changge still had her eyes closed, leaning in his arms. Qin Ze bent down and put his hand through her tight and slender legs, holding her up with one hand, and then he picked her up completely.

The body in her arms did not seem delicate, but rather tense.

He staggered, looked at Qing'er beside him and said, "It's true that I have no appetite, and I'm so light."

"You have to persuade her more and let her get well. Otherwise, when she returns to Nanjing, people will say that I abused her. That's not acceptable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze looked down, and his long eyelashes seemed to tremble.
