Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Qiao Xi didn't ask.

She thought maybe it was both.

She is Su Heting's wife, and it is her heart's desire to have children for him.

Yi Qing and Su Heting had a grudge against each other for stealing his mother and killing him, and Dayou was also messed up by him. With such a deep hatred, Su Heting wanted to take revenge personally, and Qiao Xi understood.

And support!

She would secure the rear for him.

However, she didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

A month after Qiao Xi returned to Beijing, Yi Qing, the regent of Wuli, personally led his troops to attack Dayou.

Su Heting announced the news of the emperor's personal expedition in the court, and all the officials tried to dissuade him.

The new emperor had been on the throne for less than a year and had no children, but Dayou was not without military generals.

Even if the new emperor does not trust others, there are many outstanding candidates in his Jiangbei Army who may be able to serve as the commander-in-chief of an army. Why should the new emperor go there in person?

The most important thing is that all state affairs must be handed over to the queen, in case the queen develops ambitions.

By then, the emperor and the empress will fight with each other, or the empress will do something to greed for power and make it impossible for the new emperor to come back. Then Dayou will fall into the hands of Queen Qiao.

What's more, in their opinion, Wu Li was once defeated by Dayou and was not to be feared.

But there were also supporters like Gao Chengqian and Xu An, who believed that it was a good thing for the new emperor to go and intimidate Wuli and enhance the prestige of Dayu country.

Before the two sides could come to a conclusion with their argument, another urgent news arrived.

The Uri spies sneaked into a small town in Dayou and massacred two villages overnight, killing hundreds of innocent people.

And left a provocative blood letter.

The blood letter stated that Su Heting had not learned his lesson and had snatched away the Princess Regent Wuli. These hundreds of lives were a warning from the Regent Wuli to Su Heting.

If Su Heting does not send Princess Regent Wuli back in time, Prince Regent Wuli will massacre all the people of Dayou.

When this blood letter was sent to the capital, the situation on the other side of the border had already broken out.

The retired emperor once took someone else's wife and kept her by his side for more than ten years, disguised as a eunuch.

Su Heting is the biological son of the retired emperor. Maybe his son has learned from his father and has the hobby of stealing other people's wives.

The blood-written document is indeed misleading, as it does not specify the age of Princess Regent Uli.

So many people living in the border areas believed this and began to complain about Su Heting.

All the officials in the court knew that the emperor and the empress were deeply in love. The empress had just returned from a great victory, so the new emperor would not steal someone else's woman.

But as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. There must be a reason why Wuli issued such a warning.

As a result, there were many speculations, but because of this incident, there were fewer voices opposing Su Heting's personal expedition.

The people are resentful of the new emperor, which is not conducive to the stability of the country. Only the new emperor can go there in person to appease the people.

Su Heting personally led the army, and the matter of the Queen regulating the country was thus decided.

After hearing the news, Zhou Huiyue was so angry that she stabbed the embroidery needle into her thigh.

Tears fell down, and she bit her trembling lips to stop herself from crying out loud.

She could accept her own stupidity, accept that she had been teased by the emperor and Yi Qing for half her life, and ended up in a situation where she could not face people openly.

But she couldn't accept that Yi Qing was throwing such dirty water on her son.

At this moment, her hatred for Yi Qing reached its peak.

When Qiao Xi came over, she saw her crying and sewing a piece of clothes for the child with trembling hands.

"If you feel bad, just cry."

Qiao Xi wanted to take the needle and thread from her hand, unable to bear to see her forbearing.

At first, she was a little angry with Zhou Huiyue.

But in the month since returning to Beijing, except for the few days when he was unable to get out of bed, the two met almost every day.

Either she went to pay her respects to Zhou Huiyue, or Zhou Huiyue came to see her.

Zhou Huiyue loves Su Heting, and treats her very well because of his love for her. People are not plants, and the anger she had previously taken out on him was forgiven by Su Heting.

Zhou Huiyue raised her head, forced back her tears, and forced a smile, "It's okay, just a few more stitches and the dress will be fine."

It was a small jacket embroidered with ruyi patterns and peonies, sewn for Qiao Xi's future daughter.

Seeing that her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even hold the needle, Qiao Xi said, "As you said, a few more stitches will make the dress finished.

But if you accidentally prick your hand and get it stained with blood, wouldn’t that be a pity?”

After hearing this, Zhou Huiyue put all the things into the basket.

It is unlucky if things given to children are stained with blood.

But without anything to hide, she couldn't control her emotions anymore.

Finally, she covered her face with her hands. "It's all my fault, but I have to let my son bear the consequences. I... I really can't face him."

Qiao Xi sighed softly, "The other party is too despicable and too crazy."

Perhaps, Zhou Huiyue was wrong to be soft-hearted and should not have let Yi Qing go.

But her savior was also the man she had once been attracted to. Qiao Xi had thought about this in recent days. If it were her turn, it might be difficult to have the best of both worlds.

She wiped the tears from Zhou Huiyue's fingers and said, "You have to believe in your son, he will handle it all.

My husband didn't blame you. He was worried about you and was tied up by his ministers, so he asked me to come and see you.

Don't cry, or he'll be heartbroken when he sees you later."

Zhou Huiyue covered her face for a long time before she regained her composure and asked, "When will He'er leave?"

Qiao Xi had already learned from Su Heting that Zhou Huiyue was going to personally settle the matter with Yi Qing, and replied, "About three days later."

"Three days."

Zhou Huiyue's eyes flickered.

Then he looked at Qiao Xi's abdomen, "Is there any movement?"

Qiao Xi's health still needs the care of Lai Chijiao and his daughter, so Su Heting did not hide the fact that Qiao Xi needed detoxification during delivery from them.

Su Que, the big mouth, told Zhou Huiyue about the matter. Zhou Huiyue has been paying attention to Qiao Xi's menstrual blood these days.

Hearing her ask this, Qiao Xi knew what she was asking and shook her head, "Not that fast."

Zhou Huiyue suddenly touched Qiao Xi's belly and said, "When mother comes back, there will definitely be good news.

Xibao'er, He'er will leave for Beijing in three days. You should spend more time with him during these three days. You don't have to come to see mother every day."

Su Heting is about to leave, and Qiao Xi will indeed be very busy, busy with taking care of his affairs while he is away, busy with the handover of government affairs and other matters.

So he nodded and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'll come to see you when I have time."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhou Huiyue smiled gently, "Go and get busy. If you guys are okay, everything will be fine with me."

When Qiao Xi returned to Su Heting, all the ministers had already left. She told Su Heting about Zhou Huiyue's situation.

"I always feel like there's something strange about Mom, but I can't put my finger on it. When we get to the border, you should keep an eye on her."

What she didn't say explicitly was that she felt Zhou Huiyue seemed determined to die, but when she heard her say she would wait for her to come back, Qiao Xi felt that she was overthinking it.

Su Heting was frowning as he looked at the account books presented by the Ministry of Revenue. War required money, but the national treasury was empty in the hands of the retired emperor.

Although a lot of money was seized from various fiefdoms over the past year, it was all used for people's livelihood, and the national treasury is still not well-off.

We have to get some from those wealthy families and businessmen.

When Su Heting was thinking this, he heard what Qiao Xi said. He was doing two things at once and understood what Qiao Xi meant.

He closed the account book, thought for a moment, and said, "Mother told me that when she comes back she wants to visit Grandma and make more clothes for our children."

I won’t be too depressed.

Qiao Xi thought about it and gave up the idea, thinking that Zhou Huiyue was just being sentimental because of her past experiences.

He stopped thinking about it and focused on learning how to handle government affairs with Su Heting.

Three days passed quickly.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven ended, Qiao Xi and all the officials saw them off at the city gate. Su Heting gave some words to encourage morale, then walked up to Qiao Xi and hugged her.

He said in a loud voice, "Guard the house for me. If anyone dares to bully you, I will come back and deal with him for you."

This is said to all officials.

This hug was also beyond Qiao Xi's expectations. They were very close in private, but now they were the emperor and empress of a country, and they always had to observe the rules when they were outside.

Obviously, Su Heting also held it for everyone to see.

Qiao Xi thought of the rumors about Wuli Country, hugged him back, and whispered in his ear, "Promise me that you will return home safely."

Yi Qing is a madman, and madmen always tend to take extreme measures. Qiao Xi is worried about Su Heting.

Su Heting comforted her, "As long as you are here, I will naturally come back safely."

But she heard Qiao Xi murmur, "Brother Crown Prince, can you kiss me?"
