Quick Wear: The female supporting role makes a comeback by giving birth to a child

Qi Yuan was stunned.

When I looked up, I met my son's clear eyes which were full of curiosity and doubt.

His heart sank.

His expression remained calm: "Xiao Wu, who told you about 'rice man'?"

The third prince stretched his head and looked at the memorial on his brother's desk.

It was like when you are doing homework in class and your deskmate suddenly raises his hand to ask the teacher a question and you look over with curiosity.

Xiao Wu pointed his chubby little finger at the memorial in front of him: "This is what is written in the memorial."

Qi Yuan frowned.

Get up and walk over.

The Third Prince had now come to his brother's side and was reading the contents of the memorial:

"There is a Zhang family in Qinghu County, Liangzhou, who trades vegetables with the Northern Hu. Qinghu is extremely poor, but there are still people who are greedy and oppress the people..."

Before the content was finished, the memorial was taken away by Qi Yuan.

This is a compromise letter.

The outermost letter was a greeting letter from the prefect of Liangzhou.

And in the interlayer of the folding paper, there was a piece of paper.

The strip of paper was firmly glued to the corner of the fold.

It can be seen that he was afraid of being discovered.

Qi Yuan frowned even more tightly.

He flipped the folded book left and right.

Look at the traces left on it.

If Xiaowu's hands were not small and he had to wet his fingers with water when turning the pages, he would probably not have been able to find this secret letter.

Liangzhou...

Liangzhou, as the northern border of Da Qi, borders the Northern Hu across a desert.

The land there is barren, and the people have been subjected to provocations and wars from the northern barbarians for many years, so their lives are really poor.

In recent years, the annual tax revenue of Liangzhou has almost always been negative, and the imperial court has needed to provide additional subsidies of money and grain almost every year to ensure that the people can survive.

But even so, it is still stretched to the limit.

He always thought it was affected by the geographical conditions of Liangzhou.

But I didn't expect that there was another hidden story behind this!

It seems that we have to send someone to Liangzhou.

Qi Yuan wondered who to send.

Xiaowu had already leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered to him, "Third brother, do you know what a 'vegetable person' is?"

He had never heard the word before.

I'm so curious.

The third prince has always loved reading and has a wide range of interests.

Seeing that his brother was still thinking about it after such a long time, he was a little speechless: "Really want to know?"

It’s better to be young and ignorant!

Xiaowu nodded his little head, his clear big eyes full of curiosity.

The third prince pursed his lips and said, "No regrets?"

Xiaowu just felt strange. Why did the third brother suddenly ask so many strange questions?

But he still shook his head obediently: "No regrets."

Why would you regret something that has broadened your horizons?

Xiaowu thought to himself.

But soon, he regretted it.

"'Cai Ren' means using people as vegetables."

Xiao Wu was puzzled: "How can a human be a dish?"

He had only heard someone say something like "No one takes you seriously."

It sounds like contempt.

do you mean this?

Third Prince:...

He didn't want to explain it in detail, thank you.

But facing his brother's eyes full of curiosity, Xiao San decided to let Xiao Wu suffer a beating:

"It's like pork. In the past, the Hu people would call us Han people 'two-legged sheep', which means that people can be like sheep. When they went to war, they didn't bring food or grass, but people."

Xiaowu: (☉_☉)

Xiaowu was almost dumbfounded.

Human=pig?

yue～

Xiaowu's face turned pale instantly.

Thinking about the steamed pork with rice flour that he had eaten at noon because he was greedy, he couldn't stop retching.

Third Prince:...

He silently took several steps back, returned to his desk, sat down, picked up the red pen, and continued reading the memorials.

It's none of his business.

This is what Xiaowu needs to know.

He has advised everyone.

Xiaowu retched for a long time but couldn't vomit. He just felt uncomfortable all over and was not feeling well.

Qi Yuan noticed this and hurried forward to pat him on the back:

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this? Are you sick? Someone, call the doctor!"

Someone outside immediately took action.

Qi Yuan patted his son's back and looked at the Third Prince: "Xiao San, what's going on?"

The third prince scratched his face:

"Father, this is not my fault. It was my fifth brother who wanted to know. I just gave him a brief explanation..."

The more he spoke, the more guilty he felt, and his voice became lower and lower.

Looking at my fifth brother's pale face, I felt distressed and regretful.

Did he just speak too bluntly?

Should he have been more tactful?

Or just muddle through?

It’s better than making my fifth brother suffer so much.

The fifth prince retched for a long time but couldn't vomit.

But I was sweating all over and felt exhausted all over.

He half leaned on his father's arms and shook his head: "Father, don't blame Third Brother. It's me who can't stand it...yue~"

I can't think about it. I feel like vomiting when I think about it.

After hearing the brothers' explanation, Qi Yuan was speechless.

He patted his son's back helplessly.

Speaking of this, no one can be blamed.

He didn't help either.

He waited for the imperial physician to arrive, check Xiaowu's pulse, and confirm that he was just frightened and there was no other condition. Then he prescribed a dose of tranquilizer and refresher medicine and left.

Xiaowu is really not suitable to stay here in this condition.

Qi Yuan then had someone take him to a side hall to rest.

For a moment, Qi Yuan and the third prince were the only ones left in the imperial study.

Third Prince:...

And this good thing? !

Is it too late for him to follow Xiao Wuyue now?

No, I didn’t say that before. You can’t stop working if you are sick!

The third prince's eyes rolled around, thinking, how about he feel uncomfortable too?

Just as he was thinking about how to get sick in a way that would less likely arouse suspicion, he heard his father ask someone to find his seventh brother.

The Third Prince: (=?Д?=)

Forget it.

My father is now going crazy.

Xiaoqi is only eleven years old!

Moreover, Xiaoqi also has a leg disease.

How did the emperor let Xiao Qi work for granted? !

Human?

The third prince was mumbling all sorts of things in his mind, slandering his father, but his face showed no change of emotion.

On the contrary, the pen in the little hand never stopped moving.

Qi Yuan was very satisfied with this.

Ah!

This is the kind of working spirit we need!

But when he looked at the letter in his hand, the smile in his eyes disappeared completely.

"Cao Bai, summon the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Imperial Censorate to the East Warm Pavilion."

"Here."

Cao Bai retreated.

Qi Yuan thought about it, walked to the desk, and started flipping through the memorial again.

He scanned it casually, trying to find the memorial from Liangzhou to see if what was said in the secret memorial was true.

But after flipping through all the memorials on the table, I still couldn't find it.

In other words, the affairs of Liangzhou were never mentioned in any serious memorial.

Qi Yuan fell into deep thought.

However, after a while, someone came in to report that the seventh prince had arrived.

Xiao Qi just came in and bowed, and Cao Bai came back behind him:

"Your Majesty, several adults have arrived."

"Okay. Let them wait for a while. I'll be there in a moment."

After Cao Bai stepped back, he lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Qi.

The little kid in front of him is obviously a teenager, but he is extremely thin and does not look as strong as Xiaojiu.
