The most romantic little emperor

Qin Hao followed closely behind and walked into the gate of Guo’s mansion again.

At this time, many ministers in the court had learned the news that Guo Jia had been attacked, and they all came to Guo's mansion, where they happened to run into the ministers led by Dong Sicheng.

The group arrived at the main hall in the front yard. After paying their respects and taking their seats, Dong Sicheng noticed Qin Hao's grim expression and asked on behalf of the other ministers, "Your Majesty, how is Lord Guo now?"

Qin Hao said in a deep voice: "The person has been saved, but the broken finger cannot be reattached. Doctor Sun said that he will probably wake up tomorrow."

Shi Minghan said angrily, "These damned thieves are so cruel and merciless that they dare to do such a cruel thing to an important official of the imperial court. They are simply lawless. If they are not brought to justice, it will be unforgivable."

Upon hearing this, the other ministers echoed his words, determined to avenge them.

Upon seeing this, Fan Wenhai immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice conducted an autopsy and found that most of the deceased Imperial Guards had suffered sword wounds, and more than a dozen of them had been attacked by crossbows."

"After inspection, the arrows of this repeating crossbow are very similar to those of the Qin's repeating crossbow invented by Your Majesty, but there are slight differences."

Qin Hao understood very well what Fan Wenhai meant. Someone was imitating the Qin family's repeating crossbow. He frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Lord Fan, do you mean that someone stole the manufacturing drawings of the Qin family's repeating crossbow? This is a top-level military secret, how is this possible?" Wei Zheng asked in confusion.

Li Zhen sighed deeply and said in a deep voice, "The storm is brewing. It seems someone is plotting something nefarious and wants to overthrow our Great Xia!"

"The attack on Lord Guo was definitely not accidental. He must have touched upon the interests of certain individuals, or perhaps he had access to the secrets of some important figures!"

Qin Hao nodded and said seriously, "The Qin family's repeating crossbow is no secret to some people. As long as there are skilled craftsmen, it shouldn't be difficult to imitate it."

"So, there shouldn't be any possibility that the blueprints were stolen. Otherwise, Lord Fan wouldn't have discovered the crossbow they were making."

"As for the attack on Lord Guo, I already know the person behind it. When he wakes up and finds out the truth, I will give him and the fallen soldiers a satisfactory explanation."

"It's getting late, my ministers, please go back and rest! I will inform you if anything happens."

Everyone still wanted to say something, but when they saw that Qin Hao had already ordered them to leave, they bowed and left.

The two elders, Dong Sicheng and Li Zhen, were reluctant to leave, as if they knew Qin Hao must have something to tell them.

"Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements for the diplomatic mission to the Liao Kingdom and will set off tomorrow. Does Your Majesty have any instructions?" Dong Sicheng asked solemnly.

Qin Hao thought for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "Father-in-law, Mei'er and I will personally see you off tomorrow. I also have a letter in my hand. When you arrive in the Northern Frontier, please hand it to Wang Jian in person. He will fully cooperate with your mission on this mission."

Dong Sicheng thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Then, Lord Guo..."

Qin Hao understood what he was going to say, waved his hand, and said calmly: "You two are both my father-in-laws, there is no unsolvable feud between you. What happened before can only be said to be some political disagreements. I will help you to reconcile."

"When you return from your mission to Liao, I'm sure his injuries will have mostly healed. Then we can celebrate your success and put aside our grudges, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Sicheng bowed and felt relieved.

Qin Hao looked at Li Zhen and, before he could speak, said righteously, "Duke Li's previous concerns will be taken into consideration. I know what's going on. Even if those people imitate the Qin's Crossbow on a large scale, what will happen?"

"If they really dare to rebel and gather together to revolt, I will put aside my worries and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Hearing Qin Hao's confident words, Li Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, saying, "As long as Your Majesty knows what's going on, that's all fine. I'd like to send someone to investigate and see who is behind this and is plotting against the court."

Qin Hao's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea. He laughed out loud and said, "Duke Li, what you said makes sense. So, you send several investigation teams to various states to search for clues about the counterfeit repeating crossbow. Make sure to make a big noise but do little to alert the enemy. This is called stirring up trouble."

"At the same time, I will also dispatch members of the Imperial Guard and the Heroes' Pavilion to conduct separate investigations in various states. This three-pronged approach will allow us to combine forces and wipe out these counterfeiting operations if any one of them gets wind of the situation."

Li Zhen clapped his hands in praise and laughed, "This is a very good plan. I will arrange for someone to investigate and try to catch these criminal gangs as soon as possible!"

……

After finishing the things here, Qin Hao went directly to the backyard.

At this time, Guo Xuanxuan was heartbroken and fainted from crying. Fortunately, Doctor Sun was by her side. After taking a pill, she woke up slowly.

Qin Hao felt a pang of heartache as he looked at Guo Xuanxuan, who was crying her heart out. He hugged her tightly and said in a deep voice, "Sister Xuanxuan, your father fought against the evil forces for Daxia and for me, regardless of everything. It's truly heroic!"

"I swear here that such a thing will never happen again. I will make that evil person pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold for the pain he endured before."

Guo Xuanxuan nodded gently and said, "Your Majesty, I believe you. He is my only relative in this world. I just hope that my father can be healthy and safe."

Qin Hao wiped the tears from her face and comforted her softly, "Little fool, I am also your relative. When your father's injury is healed, we will get married immediately. In the future, we will have our own prince and little princess, and we will be happy forever."

"Sister Xuanxuan, and us, we want to be good sisters for life and serve His Majesty together!" Fan Xuemei said immediately.

Yelu Jin'er echoed, "Yes, yes, we will all be one family from now on. I want to give birth to a princess who is prettier than me, and a prince who is as handsome as your majesty."

"Sister Xuanxuan, do you like boys or girls?"

Guo Xuanxuan looked at the concerned expressions of the three people in front of her and smiled, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty and my two sisters, for your concern. I feel much better now."

Yelu Jin'er persisted, "Sister Xuanxuan, you haven't replied to me yet?"

"I guess Sister Xuanxuan must be liked by both boys and girls." Fan Xuemei joked from the side.

Guo Xuanxuan grew up in the countryside and is innocent. She is definitely not comparable to bold and straightforward women like Yelu Jiner and Fan Xuemei.

She looked up at Qin Hao and saw that he was also very interested. She nodded shyly and said in a low voice, "Well, I like both boys and girls."

To cheer Guo Xuanxuan up, Fan Xuemei teased her, "So, how many children does Sister Xuanxuan want to give birth to for His Majesty?"

Facing the two women's constant questioning, Guo Xuanxuan's pretty face turned red with shame. She also understood their good intentions and said a little embarrassedly: "Why are you two so annoying! Humph, I'm going to ignore you."

"Who made our sister Xuanxuan angry?" A gentle and kind voice came from outside the door.
