"How can this be, what does the emperor do with Xiao Jingqing?" Zhou Xiya was very worried.

"No, it's just that the people are locked up, the emperor just wants to force Marquis Xiao to send troops, but Marquis Xiao's resistance is disrespectful, saying that he can't get sick, and the emperor will lock up the second son when he is angry." The strategist shook his head.

Zhou Xiya clenched his fists, Marquis Xiao is fine, where does it look like he is sick, he wants the world to be chaotic, let the rebels and the army of the imperial court fight, consume each other's combat effectiveness, and when the time comes, he will stand up and control the overall situation, so he will not use the soldiers in his hand to save the emperor.

"You pay close attention to the movements in Luoyang first, I don't think the emperor will do anything to Xiao Jingqing for the time being, I think of other ways, you also think of ways to rescue Xiao Jingqing." Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, Xiao Jingqing spent so much money to support these strategists and soldiers, and now is the time to need them.

After the strategist left, Zhou Xiya went out, she was going to Xiao's house and asked what Marquis Xiao meant.

"Miss, you have a body now, you must not be in a hurry, no matter what the Xiao family will do first, the second young master is still in Luoyang, he will help rescue the uncle, although the master is in the capital, but the emperor's guard is under the jurisdiction of the master, there are so many people, it will not let the uncle receive any harm." Mama Zhou hurriedly followed and persuaded her.

"I'm not worried about the emperor now, I'm worried about Zhou Xiwan, Zhou Xiwan hates me to the core, this time the matter may be that she is behind the scenes, otherwise the emperor wants to detain Xiao Jingqing and think about the strength of the Xiao family and the Zhou family, the emperor can not mobilize many soldiers. Where will it be easy to get started. Zhou Xiya's face was heavy, Xiao Jingqing had her own sources, after Xiao Jingqing went out, she was in charge, so she knew that Zhou Xiwan was very favored now, not only making waves in the harem, but she was meddling in the previous dynasty, and the emperor only knew how to enjoy it now, and he didn't care about the court, and he also gave Zhou Xiwan a chance.

Mama Zhou didn't have any good way to deal with this. Now Zhou Xiwan is the queen. How can she easily move her, Miss poisoned the second miss before, so that the second miss became addicted to drugs, but I didn't expect the second miss to really grit her teeth and quit. Now Miss has no good way to control the second miss.

Soon Zhou Xiya came to Xiao's house. I learned that Marquis Xiao was in the study. Zhou Xiya is gracious.

"Let her in" Marquis Xiao frowned, and after thinking about it, he still saw that there were a few people sitting in the room. and his eldest son, and two counsellors.

"I've seen my father, big brother." Zhou Xiya saluted.

"Why are you here?" Marquis Xiao was a little impatient, he already knew that this second daughter-in-law was unruly and fell out with his wife, so that his wife didn't let her in to ask for peace.

"Father, did your father know about Jingqing's detention by the emperor?" Zhou Xiya asked.

"This is a woman's business, you don't have to worry about it." Marquis Xiao replied with a cold face.

"Father, Xiao Jingqing is my husband and the father of my children, he has an accident now, how can I turn a blind eye, my daughter-in-law asked my father to come forward to rescue Xiao Jingqing." Zhou Xiya knelt on the ground, at this time, face or anything was not important.

"I said, you don't have to worry about this," Marquis Xiao patted the table.

"Father, I know that you have your own plans, and your daughter-in-law will not interfere, I only know that the emperor can mobilize not many troops now, but if the rebellion really grows larger, the emperor will definitely mobilize the army stationed in the north to fight against the Turks, and that army is in charge of my father and brother, I don't know if you want my father and brother to stand still like you, or raise troops to save them." Zhou Xiya said what Marquis Xiao cared about, if the Zhou family really moved troops, then it was on the emperor's side, and if the Xiao family raised troops, they would have to face the iron-blooded army of the Zhou family, and no one knew what the outcome would be.

"You threaten me? Your father will not let the army in the north move, the army will withdraw, the Turks will raise troops to the south, and then the north will be in chaos. Marquis Xiao squinted, however, the soldiers in his hands were evenly matched with the things that Zhou Jianxiong had trained, as long as Zhou Jianxiong did not move, it would be easy for him to take the world. But if this team moves, the entire Central Plains will be in chaos, and it will be troublesome to clean up the situation at that time, he will have to spend more energy to deal with it, and the Turks are not so easy to deal with, he needs the stability of the north now.

"How dare the daughter-in-law threaten her father, my Zhou family is unwilling to participate in these rights and wrongs, but Xiao Jingqing is the son-in-law of my Zhou family, my father will not look at him and ignore him, but if my father is involved, what will the emperor think, the north and the south are united, how can he, the emperor, sit firmly, and when the time comes, it is likely to kill Xiao Jingqing in a fit of anger, this is not what the daughter-in-law wants, and the only one who can solve the current situation is the father, the daughter-in-law knows that the father does not want to quell the current rebellion at once, and even wants to raise them, although there are many soldiers in the father's hands, but there are few people who have experienced a big war, the father might as well deal with the emperor first, agree to send troops, but this amount of troops is not in the hands of your father, just let your father train, and wait for what your father wants to do in the future, the soldiers in your hands will not be new recruits who have not been on the battlefield, so that your father's victory is not greater, the battle situation is controlled by you, and it is not as long as you want to fight, the daughter-in-law thinks, it is still easy for the father to hide from the emperor. Zhou Xiya faced Marquis Xiao directly, hoping that her words could move Marquis Xiao.

As long as Marquis Xiao is willing to send troops, even if it is only a small part, then Xiao Jingqing can come out, which is the safest and safest way.

Xiao Houye glanced at this daughter-in-law, yes, knowledgeable, rare, this daughter-in-law has a great sense of the overall situation, and is much stronger than the eldest daughter-in-law in this regard, although such a woman is a little more powerful, but she is a good helper for her son.

"Brother and sister, you are a woman, don't meddle in these things, what to do Father has his own decision, you better raise the child in your belly." Xiao Ruiqing spoke, he saw that his father's face was softened, and he knew that his father was a little unusual, and he finally bought his father's advisers and asked them to persuade his father to stay still, as for the second child, he could only save himself.

But if my father sends troops, the second child will definitely be fine. Look at what my father meant, it's almost time to raise the anti-flag, the second child comes out, so who is the general of the southern expedition and the northern war, not the second one, the military merits are all occupied by the second child, how can he rest assured.

Zhou Xiya didn't look at him, she was waiting for Marquis Xiao's reply.

"Father, if you want to go further, who will fight for you in the future. Can you rest assured that you will be able to hand over all the army to outsiders? Xiao Jingqing is not only your sister-in-law. It is also the best soldier you have accepted, the most reassuring soldier, can you really bear to see him punished by the emperor. ”

"Okay, I got it. I'll think about it. Go down. Marquis Xiao waved his hand.

Zhou Xiya smiled. She knew that Marquis Xiao had listened to her, and Marquis Xiao might not have thought that the emperor would do anything to Xiao Jingqing before, but he didn't dare to gamble. Now that he has such a method, he will be able to send troops, and his son will naturally be more important than the soldiers in his hands.

Zhou Xiya was about to go out, when Xiao Houye suddenly said, "I will deal with the second child's affairs, you are not allowed to leave Yingtian"

Zhou Xiya paused, how did he know that he was going to find Xiao Jingqing.

"Did you hear that?" Xiao Houye was a little impatient, not to mention that the second wife now has a big belly, no matter how ruthless he is, he doesn't want his son's children to have any mistakes, and Zhou Xiya is the key to his winning over the Zhou family, so he can't leave Yingtian.

"Yes" Zhou Xiya hesitated for a moment or nodded, as long as Marquis Xiao could ensure that Xiao Jingqing was fine, she was not willing to go out with a big belly.

After returning from Xiao's Mansion, Zhou Xiya did not completely let go of her heart, and wrote a letter to her second brother, asking him to ensure Xiao Jingqing's safety, and she was still very relieved about her second brother.

Now she can only send people to collect the news from Luoyang as much as possible, understand the latest trends, and respond to all changes without changing, and that's all she can do-

"Niangniang, taste it, this is a new lychee from the south" A grandmother walked into the bedroom of the queen of Luoyang Palace with a plate of lychees.

Zhou Xiwan got up from the soft couch lazily, picked up one and bit it open and nodded: "It's really good, the food is fresher than in the capital."

"But no, this Luoyang is closer to the south than the capital, and when we get to the south, Niangniang can eat fresher fruits." Mama detoured behind Zhou Xiwan and gently rubbed Zhou Xiwan's shoulder.

"If it weren't for the rebels, we would have left Luoyang a long time ago, and I'm tired of Luoyang." Zhou Xiwan complained, thinking that she could get to the south early, but it was really annoying to go all the way.

"Soon, as long as the court pacifies the rebels, we will be able to set off soon, the courtiers will not let us leave, but they are also afraid of any accidents on the road, and now there are disasters everywhere, those refugees are red-eyed and looking for food everywhere, I heard that some places have begun to eat people." Mama has palpitations, why did she enter the palace in her early years, it's not that she can't live, she has been in the palace all her life, and no one who has caused a disaster knows the suffering of this disaster.

"These courtiers are all waste, so the rebels can't clean it up, but let their ranks get bigger and bigger, there must be something wrong here, what is Your Majesty doing now?" Zhou Xiwan is very dissatisfied, now fighting against the rebels, she also installed some of her own people into the army by the way, but these people really don't give her a long face, they are all waste, not only did they not win a few battles, but they made the other party occupy bigger and bigger, which makes her face Your Majesty.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't take this rebellion seriously, and there were many rebellions, but when was it not suppressed, she was worried about the power in her hands.

"Your Majesty ......" Mama was vague.

"Say it quickly"

"The emperor took Liu Meiren and Wang Guiren to swim in the lake," Mama looked at Zhou Xiwan's face carefully.

"Hmph, those two foxes will be foxes to the emperor, I remember that Liu Meiren's father seems to be a general of the rebel army, I showed favor to him, but unfortunately he thinks that he has a daughter who can invite favor in front of the emperor, so I don't worry about the queen, send someone to check him, I don't believe that he has not embezzled military salaries, and let our people report to the emperor after finding out, the emperor is very angry because the rebellion has not been pacified, just use Liu Meiren's father to sacrifice the flag, without this dependence, I want to see if this Liu Meiren can still his tail." Zhou Xiwan said viciously, she doesn't ask for the emperor's favor now, as long as she has the right, so she usually arranges beauties to serve the emperor, of course, she is looking for people who can listen to her, if she is not obedient, then don't blame her for being polite, there are more women who have died in this harem.

"Yes, the slave understands" Mama nodded, sighing in her heart, this time Liu Meiren is going to be unlucky.

"By the way, how is that Xiao Jingqing?" Zhou Xiwan suddenly remembered the brother-in-law who was locked up.

"It's still locked up, Marquis Xiao didn't say anything about raising troops to save the driver, the emperor was unhappy, and the people didn't let them out."

"Keep an eye on him, let people greet him well, I don't want to see a complete Xiao Jingqing appear in front of me again." Zhou Xiwan's face was pale, she didn't want to kill Xiao Jingqing all at once, what is the meaning of being dead, the Zhou family will definitely take Zhou Xiya back and remarry, but if Xiao Jingqing becomes half-dead and alive, and is crippled when he is alive, then Zhou Xiya can only guard such a person, a noble rich son becomes a cripple, and his heart will definitely change, and then you can imagine how miserable Zhou Xiya will live.

"This ...... Mother, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

"What's the matter, someone else can't stop you?"

"Yes, not only the Xiao family's own people are protecting Xiao Jingqing, but also the people of the Zhou family, Zhou Guangxun, the second young master of the Zhou family, is also protecting Xiao Jingqing, although Xiao Jingqing is in the prison, but the prison is no different from his family, and others can't get close to him if they want to." Mama told the truth.

"What do they want to do, this Luoyang prison is not opened by their family, they treat the prison as an inn, they can come when they want, and they can leave when they want, it's really presumptuous." Zhou Xiwan slapped the table angrily.

"Go and send someone to spread the will of the palace, take Xiao Jingqing out of the prison, find a place to be held alone, no one is allowed to visit, show me the prison, and everyone will take him away." Zhou Xiwan stood up and ordered directly, how could she tolerate Xiao Jingqing being at ease under her nose.

"But if they find the emperor?"

"The emperor doesn't have the heart to care about these now, and the emperor can see it if he wants to, do what I say." Zhou Xiwan sneered.

"Yes" -

In the prison, Xiao Jingqing was drinking with Zhou Guangxun, and a cell had been cleaned up by the Xiao family's subordinates, really like an inn.

"How's the situation out there?" Xiao Jingqing spoke.

"It's not good, the rebels have now occupied a state capital, they are developing very rapidly, where can the general rebellion be so easy to stand down so many cities, all of this is your father's credit, the emperor is still in Luoyang in this drunken dream, just think that these rebels are a rabble, the courtiers who want to tell him the truth have been driven out of the court by him, and the rest are the people arranged for him by your father, how much better can you say the situation can be." Zhou Guangxun didn't know whether to admire Marquis Xiao's methods, or to mock the emperor's mediocrity, if the emperor knew that his heir was like this, he would probably die. (To be continued.) )
