Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Concubine Li thought that her daughter was poisoned and injured in Prince Heng's mansion. Even if Emperor Yuan Qing favored Prince Heng's family, he should seek justice for his daughter.

But the justice she wanted has not come yet.

The emperor even sent someone to bring Lu Huaian into the palace. He would rather accompany him to watch the koi in Hua'an Pond for a day than come to the harem to accompany Lingzhu.

Not to mention the big and small boxes that Huai'an took away when he left the palace.

Concubine Li admitted that she was jealous.

I'm going crazy with jealousy.

She didn't understand why things turned out like this.

She went to Emperor Yuan Qing in dissatisfaction and questioned him why he was so biased.

But Emperor Yuan Qing just looked at her indifferently. When she mentioned that Lu Lingzhu was poisoned in Prince Heng's Mansion, Emperor Yuan Qing asked her to tell it again according to her conscience.

That cold look scared Concubine Li.

She felt that the emperor must have known about her and the Qin family's plan.

"I believe that I have never treated you and the Qin family unfairly. But not only are you not satisfied, you are also using my bloodline as a gamble."

"Qin Ruoxue, I am very disappointed in you."

"Your Majesty, this is not the case. Please listen to my explanation!"

Emperor Yuan Qing only responded to her with indifference.

And since that day, she lost the custody of Lu Lingzhu.

In the previous dynasty, Lu Chenxiao used ruthless means to uproot all the branches of the Qin family and conduct in-depth investigations.

It was soon discovered that the Qin family had also had close dealings with Fang Yuan, and one third of the expensive rice paper in the secret room of Fang Yuan's study was shipped to the Qin family.

Lu Yuanjing was punished to go to the imperial mausoleum, but disappeared halfway. During the time when he left the capital, the Qin family's side branch members appeared at the back door of the former Prince Yu's Mansion several times.

Just as Lu Chenxiao was preparing to take the opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Qin family's direct lineage, urgent war reports from 800 miles across the border were delivered to the capital.

"The northern barbarians are invading, and we request the imperial court to send troops."

The ministers were surprised.

At the morning court, there was a heated discussion on whether to send troops to fight the northern barbarians.

Some people advocate war, while others advocate peace.

They each held their own opinions and the argument continued unabated.

After the morning court session ended, Emperor Yuan Qing deliberately kept Lu Chenxiao and Meng Jinyou.

"What do you two think about the Northern Barbarians' invasion?"

Meng Jinyou whispered, "Most of the northern barbarian tribes are nomadic. In the autumn and winter of previous years, when there was not enough food, they would go out to plunder."

"But now in spring and summer, they have abundant food and grass, and their cattle and horses are strong. It is a good time for them to rest and recuperate. I always feel that they should not choose this time to disturb our Yuan Dynasty, especially with the previous experience of the defeat of South Vietnam."

Lu Chenxiao was silent for a long time before speaking, "What if someone is willing to be their insider?"

"Does the prince know any other information?"

Lu Chenxiao nodded, "People from Baixiao Pavilion found the whereabouts of Concubine Chen in Wandi, and also found a large amount of Xuan paper that was not sold to the public in the Wanwang Mansion."

Meng Jinyou was surprised, "Prince Wan's Mansion?"

"When Concubine Chen escaped from the capital, she was accompanied by a man wearing a black cloak and with great martial arts skills. His name was Yuan Ji."

"When Shang'er and I were in the southwest, we learned that Fang Yuan had a powerful Mr. Yuan who could provide Fang Yuan with unlimited amounts of rice paper and often gave him guidance."

"Ah Xiao, what you mean is that Yuan Ji beside Concubine Chen and Mr. Yuan beside Fang Yuan are actually the same person? And we are very familiar with this person?"

Lu Chenxiao nodded again, "In this month, I have sent three groups of people to Wandi, and I am very sure that Lu Yuanji is healthy."

"He went to Anhui early on under the pretext of recuperating from illness. He wanted to get out of our sight and secretly accumulate strength for today."

"Lu Yuanjing is just a fool he pushed in front to block the knife. The real chess player is Wan Wang Lu Yuanji."

Emperor Yuan Qing looked solemn, "If going to the fiefdom is also one of my second brother's plans, then when did he start planning it?"

Lu Chenxiao stabbed without hesitation, "At least it's earlier than you planned."

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

Can you speak well?

Meng Jinyou speculated meaningfully, "So, the prince was driven out of the capital back then, and it was closely related to the King of Wan?"

Lu Chenxiao's expression froze for a moment, and he glanced at Meng Jinyou dimly.

You're the only one who can speak?

Will you die if you don't take advantage of the opportunity?

"The information we have so far is that Lu Yuanji intends to cede the five cities of Beichuan to the Northern Barbarians for free in order to attract them to invade."

"He's crazy!" Emperor Yuan Qing was so angry that his face turned blue.

Ordinary people would not make such a stupid decision, but Lu Yuanji, as the King of Anhui, is so confused.

Emperor Yuan Qing declared in a deep voice, "We must fight this battle. Otherwise, we will lose more than just the five cities of Beichuan."

Behind the five cities of Beichuan is the Anhui area. If the Northern Barbarians take the five cities of Beichuan and get the support of Lu Yuanji, they can lead their troops directly to attack the capital.

By then, the royal family's face will be a small matter, while millions of ordinary people will have to suffer from the war.

Therefore, the Northern Barbarians must be blocked outside the five cities of Beichuan, so that they have no chance to lay their hands on any land of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Ah Xiao, all the useful generals in the court are away. You are the only one I can rely on right now."

Lu Chenxiao remained silent.

If it were normal times, he would definitely take the initiative to ask for battle.

But now Shang'er is pregnant, and he wants to stay with her until she gives birth safely.

Emperor Yuan Qing saw that he looked troubled and had some guesses in his mind.

He stood up and paced behind the dragon table for a few circles, then waved to Lu Chenxiao, "Think about it first, and discuss it with your sister-in-law."

If it were someone else, even if Emperor Yuan Qing did not issue a direct decree, he would still advise him to be a man and put state affairs first.

But he didn't dare to persuade Ah Xiao in this way, for fear that Ah Xiao would get angry and directly refuse without giving any room for negotiation.

On the way out of the palace, Meng Jinyou seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Chenxiao glanced at him, "If you have something to say, say it quickly."

"I think the emperor is right. Go back and have a good discussion with Shang'er. She has lived with my grandfather since she was a child. She will understand your responsibility to fight for your country and protect the people."

Lu Chenxiao rolled his eyes without hesitation, "Is it her who can't bear to leave me? It's obviously me who can't bear to leave her."

"This trip could take a few months or even several years. What if Shang'er forgets me?"

Meng Jinyou: “…”

Suddenly I don’t feel like talking anymore.

Meng Yunshang, who learned the news, had the same idea as him.

She listened to someone rambling on and on, not noticing how miserable she felt when he was leading his troops to war.

I wanted to laugh at him for not being weaned like Huai'an, but as I listened, my heart suddenly softened.

She asked him softly, "How about I go with you this time?"

Lu Chenxiao refused immediately, "No, I didn't know you were pregnant last time. Now your belly is starting to show, how can you still endure this hardship?"

"Then you should deal with them quickly and come back to meet your daughter as soon as possible."

Lu Chenxiao suddenly hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck and said nothing.

"I'm sorry, wife, I broke my promise again."

I promised to stay with her during this pregnancy, but now I have to leave in the middle of it.

Meng Yunshang heard the guilt in his words, hugged his waist with both hands and laughed, "My husband is the most upright man, this alone can withstand all difficulties in the world."

"Why is my wife so nice!"

The buzzing words fell into Meng Yunshang's ears with a hint of moisture.

She comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, my husband. The children and I will be waiting for you at home!"

"it is good!"
