Chapter 104: Agreeing to Send Troops (Part II)
The queen mother was also taken aback by General Lin's title, but she was still patient.
"You just said, you just said that the seventh princess is already pregnant?"
General Lin finally remembered that the queen mother was the biological mother of the seventh princess, and she should love the seventh princess more than the queen mother.
General Lin hurriedly took out the letter in his arms and handed it to the queen.
"The Seven Princesses and I are in love with each other and have feelings for each other. Soon I found out that the seventh princess was pregnant, so I entrusted the seventh princess to the emperor, oh, it was our queen mother, that is, Princess Qixin to take care of. ”
The queen of Qingguo heard General Lin call Qixin 'Queen Mother' so hated that her teeth itched,
"The Northern Qi State launched a war against the Southern Li Kingdom, and the son-in-law was forced to have no choice but to guard in front of the Seven Princesses and send troops to the Southern Li Kingdom. Before leaving, the little son-in-law told the emperor to take care of the seventh princess. But not long ago, when he received this letter, the son-in-law found that the seventh princess's tone revealed loss, and after looking closely, he found the letter of Princess Liman Qixin in the envelope. The little girl has been very anxious since she received the letter, although she knows that she should not come to disturb her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but now the little son-in-law really has no choice. I also hope that my father-in-law and mother-in-law can be gracious, live with my son-in-law, and go over to accompany the seventh princess as soon as possible. ”
After General Lin finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and refused to get up, and the emperor was angry at what the person in front of him said, so he lost his temper. But after seeing the queen, he was angry, and felt that he didn't need to say anything.
Compared to the Seventh Princess, Qixin was now at least able to let him know that she was still alive. But the Seventh Princess, since she left that day, there has been no news. The queen mother has been in self-blame, why did she ask the seventh princess to marry instead of Qixin, if she hadn't done that at the beginning, at least the seventh princess would have stayed by her side safely.
Several people carefully flipped through the things that General Lin took out, but the queen mother looked at it very attentively, looking back and forth, tears flashed in her eyes. After all, after so many years of husband and wife, the emperor also knew the queen's feelings, so he didn't stop her. However, the emperor exchanged this look with Duan Yu in private.
It's a pity that when these two people exchanged glances, Duan Yu lowered his head and didn't see it.
"Alright. Queen, you go back first, and I'll take care of the matter here. ”
When the queen heard the emperor say this, she suddenly panicked. looked at the emperor nervously and said,
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to go to the water?"
The emperor frowned and did not speak again. Who would have thought that the queen mother knelt down like this,
"Your Majesty. Qi Shui is also your biological daughter, she has been respectful to you for so many years, and she has not done anything wrong. Now Qi Shui's life and death in the Northern Qi Kingdom are uncertain, and even the child he is already pregnant with is almost gone, think about how heartbroken Qi Shui should be, and the concubine feels sorry for this child in her heart. Your Majesty, even if you blame Qi Shui, please help this child for the sake of the concubine who has been serving you honestly for so many years. Your Majesty, I beg you, Your Majesty! ”
After the queen mother finished speaking, she kowtowed violently. The palace maid couldn't even stop it on the side, but General Lin put his palm under the queen's head,
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, don't do this, the seventh princess, she will be sad to see you like this, mother-in-law."
The queen mother originally had no intention of accepting General Lin, but when General Lin said this, she grabbed General Lin's arm and cried.
"Qi Shui, my poor child, it's all the mother's fault, it's the queen mother who is sorry for you. Qi Shui, my poor child. ”
The emperor saw this scene and was really a concubine, in front of outsiders, as the mother of a country and infected so disregarding his own image,
"Alright! What are you crying and crying in the imperial study, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and pull the queen back! ”
The emperor was angry. The palace maids didn't dare to hesitate, and went directly to play and dragged the queen out, and soon the queen's cry was no longer audible.
At this time, the emperor sneered at General Lin, who was still kneeling on the ground,
"I didn't see General Lin having such good acting skills before, it's really admirable."
"Son-in-law, this is all true feelings, and I hope that my father-in-law will be clear."
The emperor and Duan Yu glanced at each other, and Duan Yu understood. Duan Yu suddenly bowed to the emperor,
"Your Majesty, this General Lin has bad intentions, I hope you will think twice."
The emperor nodded.
"Father-in-law, the son-in-law just hopes that he can end this morning and return to the Northern Qi Kingdom as soon as possible to protect his wife and children. I also hope that my father-in-law can be fulfilled. Five thousand, as long as you lend your son-in-law five thousand troops, your son-in-law will not disappoint your father-in-law. ”
The emperor pretended to have thought about it,
"I ask you, if I really lend you 5,000 troops, what are you going to use them for?"
When General Lin heard it, there was a play,
"The son-in-law won't do much, just break through the city gate of the Southern Li Kingdom, and ask them for some things, and then take in the mother or the retreating Northern Qi Kingdom."
"Oh? It's that simple? ”
In fact, the emperor knew that the unjust war launched by the Northern Qi State against the Southern Li State had been thought to have failed from the beginning, and now he just wanted to find a better step.
"Yes, father-in-law, it's as simple as this."
The emperor was silent for a while before he said,
"You go out first, stay in the inn or a nearby place, and when I decide, I'll find someone to inform you."
Although General Lin was unwilling, he also knew that he could only come here today, and it was a big deal that he would come back if there was no news for a few days.
After General Lin walked away, the emperor also lowered his voice,
"Duan Yu, what do you think of this matter? And the letter that is in unison. ”
Duan Yu has been thinking since the beginning,
"Your Majesty, the letter written by Princess Qixin should indeed be for us to help, but what is going on, Wei Chen thinks that he should still get in touch with the princess. Weichen always felt that this was a bureau set up by Princess Qixin, and the stakes in it still had to wait for Princess Qixin to answer it herself. ”
The emperor nodded,
"Well, I really think the same as you. Then that's it, based on one condition, if General Lin promised us a condition, we would lend him troops, if not, we would not borrow. As for what it is, I'll talk about it later. But let's say hello to Nan Liguo in advance and ask them to cooperate. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will do it."
Duan Yu immediately left the imperial study, leaving the emperor alone. The emperor felt a little thirsty and wanted to drink water, but suddenly remembered the original protagonist of this matter, Qi Shui,
"Qi Shui, Qi Shui, it's my father who is sorry for you."
The emperor sighed and said to himself. (To be continued.) )
