The most romantic little emperor

Guo Jia looked at Qin Hao who was coming towards him and struggled to get up.

Qin Hao quickly stopped him and consoled him, "Lord Guo, there's no need to be so polite. I've already apprehended your murderer and will execute him at noon today."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia nodded with great satisfaction and said, "I am truly fortunate to be able to survive and see Your Majesty this time!"

Qin Hao patted his arm and smiled slightly, saying, "My dear Lord Guo, you have survived a great disaster and will surely have good fortune in the future. I have already asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare to confer you the title of Marquis of Ningguo. When you recover from your injuries, you will join the cabinet and assist me in handling state affairs."

"Also, I intend to confer the title of Consort Chun on Xuanxuan. I have already asked the Queen to prepare for the wedding, so that you can witness the love between Xuanxuan and me with your own eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Your Majesty, your grace is so great that even if I were to die, I would never be able to repay you."

"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about, Lord Guo? From now on, we will be a family, and the Guo family will be honored because of you." Qin Hao smiled faintly.

Guo Jia smiled contentedly and said softly, "Your Majesty, the situation in Hedong is a little complicated!"

Qin Hao nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have received the account book. Gongsun Zan is a talented person and has told me the details."

"I have my own countermeasures. I will definitely uncover the culprits behind this and bring them down in one fell swoop. My dear, rest assured and recuperate. After all, health is the capital of revolution!"

Guo Jia smiled and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Hedong has been infiltrated by Prince Ning's forces. Prince Ning's men have not only bribed most of the local officials, but have also recruited many people from the underworld."

"This old minister has discovered that the Cui family, the Nangong family, and other prominent families have colluded with Prince Ning, engaging in human trafficking, embezzling disaster relief grain, trafficking in illegal salt, illegally opening iron mines, and manufacturing military equipment. Their crimes are too numerous to list."

"Besides that, I, this old minister, have checked the local population. Excluding those who died of famine, starvation, and natural causes, there are nearly 300,000 people missing, and most of them are young and middle-aged men and women."

"After some investigation, it was discovered that these people were almost all recruited by the same forces. The women were forced into prostitution and sold into brothels to make money for them, while the men were trained as warriors. Their intentions of rebellion were obvious."

"I suspect they still have spies in the capital, ministers in the court, and even people in the palace. We must be on guard against this."

Qin Hao was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect King Ning to have such great ambitions.

After a long pause, he sighed and said in a deep voice, "Lord Guo, you have worked hard and made great contributions. Just rest assured and recover from your injuries. I will handle the situation properly and will never let the civil strife of that year repeat itself."

When I walked out of the room, I saw Dong Sisi and Su Ziyan walking towards me in gorgeous palace dresses.

Qin Hao was completely puzzled. Why did they come here, and come together?

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Dong Sisi and Su Ziyan bowed slightly and performed a standard palace etiquette.

Qin Hao nodded slightly and said with a faint smile: "Two concubines, why are you here too?"

Su Ziyan spoke first, complaining a little, "Your Majesty, Lord Guo has served the country and the people, but you didn't tell me about such a big thing. If it weren't for Sister Dong telling me, I would still be in the dark!"

"Well! I have nothing to do, so I just want to come and visit Lord Guo, and just happen to keep Concubine Su company." Dong Sisi's eyes were wandering, and she didn't dare to look Qin Hao in the eye, and she spoke vaguely.

Qin Hao looked at the two of them and said apologetically, "Alright, I was negligent about this matter. Go ahead! I'll be waiting for you here!"

"No need for that. Your Majesty is very busy and handling official business is more important. After we visit Lord Guo, we will go back to the palace on our own!" Dong Sisi declined Qin Hao's kindness and said lightly.

After saying that, she turned around and walked into the inner room.

Su Ziyan followed closely behind. When she reached Qin Hao, she whispered, "Your Majesty, Sister Dong has discovered our affairs. What do you think we should do?"

Qin Hao finally understood why Dong Sisi was so cold towards him and why she declined his kindness.

He patted Su Ziyan's hand and smiled softly, "Don't worry, Concubine Dong knows her limits and won't make a big fuss."

Su Ziyan looked up at Qin Hao and said nonchalantly, "I know that. What I mean is, should we drag her into this?"

Qin Hao shook his head decisively. Although he coveted Dong Sisi, he couldn't act rashly in such a rebellious act. If Qin Feng and Qin Yun knew about it, they would be finished as brothers.

Su Ziyan teased, "Don't think that Auntie doesn't know what you're thinking. Before, you looked at Sister Dong with eyes that were almost tearing out of silk. How come you have the intention but not the courage to do it now? Do you want me to help you take her down?"

Qin Hao was almost horny after being encouraged by Su Ziyan. He frowned slightly, feeling a little secretly happy but also worried. He said guiltily, "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate!"

Seeing that Su Ziyan behind her hadn't caught up, Dong Sisi quickly turned around, her face a little red as she asked, "What are you two talking about? You're not done yet, are you?"

"I'll be right there." Su Ziyan replied casually to Dong Sisi.

Then, with his back to Dong Sisi, he pinched Qin Hao's private parts and said jokingly, "Your Majesty, you are not sincere in what you say! You say no, but your body is very honest. Tell me when you figure it out."

Qin Hao was caught off guard and was ambushed by Su Ziyan. He said with a lewd look, "You charming little devil, I'll deal with you later!"

Su Ziyan raised her eyebrows, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Then you better come quickly, I'm waiting for you to clean up."

After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly towards Dong Sisi.

"Hey! Isn't that Concubine Su? Wasn't she sick? Why does she look so energetic?"

Qin Wei and Guo Xuanxuan walked in from outside, and she said with a puzzled look on her face.

Qin Hao had just been provoked by the little devil Su Ziyan, and now here came another mischievous little girl. He was suddenly overwhelmed.

He glared at Qin Wei angrily and said unhappily, "Why are you, a little girl, worrying about adults' affairs?"

Qin Wei puffed out her chest and said angrily, "Brother Emperor, how am I young? I'm almost seventeen!"

Seeing her angry look, Qin Hao couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, it was my brother who said the wrong thing. Our daughter has grown up, and it's time to find a prince consort to take care of you."

"Hmph, I'm not going to get married." Qin Wei opened her innocent eyes wide and said pitifully.

Guo Xuanxuan, watching the two siblings bickering, was amused. She patiently counseled Qin Wei, "Weiwei, when we women grow up, we should find a good husband, get married, and have children. As a prostitute, how can you not get married?"

Qin Wei covered her ears and pouted her red lips, saying, "Alright! Sister Xuanxuan, I've been so kind to you, but you and my brother actually teamed up to bully me. Humph, I'll never talk to you again."

Guo Xuanxuan was somewhat speechless and said, "Okay, Weiwei, if you don't want to marry me, then don't marry me. We will take care of you in the future and let you be a happy young lady, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wei put down her hands that were covering her ears and forced a sweet smile.

She hugged Guo Xuanxuan's arm affectionately and said with a smile: "I knew that Emperor Xuanxuan loves me the most."

Qin Hao rolled his eyes at the two girls speechlessly and said with a faint smile, "Xuanxuan, just spoil her! Sooner or later, she will be spoiled by you."

Qin Wei stuck out her tongue and made a mischievous gesture as if asking you to take care of it.

Qin Hao shook his head helplessly and lowered his head to think about what Guo Jia had just said.
