What Qu Wurong asked Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi to do was to find a way to go outside the imperial study and eavesdrop on what Shen Wu'an was busy with these days, and then come back to report back to her.

It's just that the imperial study is a place where Shen Wu'an and the ministers discuss the government, and there are guards guarding it outside, which is not so easy to approach, even if they are people around Qu Wurong, they can't approach casually, so Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi have to follow the little eunuch on duty outside the imperial study to see if they can find out something from them, so that they can go back and talk to Qu Wurong.

After such an inquiry, they really found some clues back.

It turned out that what had made Shen Wu'an busy recently was nothing else, it was the imminent war at the border pass. Not long after the end of the New Year, the Xisai State sent people to constantly harass the border cities of Daliang, although they were all resisted by the guards of the border cities, and the two sides would fight a small battle from time to time, but there was never a formal war.

Not long ago, the Xisai State suddenly mobilized a large number of troops, set up camp only 200 miles away from Daliang, and eyed the border city of Daliang.

In fact, as early as after the incident at the beginning of the year, Shen Wu'an had already made people ready for war with the Cissai State, and everyone understood that this battle was inevitable. Although the Great Liang had just experienced turmoil not long ago, because Shen Wu'an had made proper arrangements in advance, this turmoil did not hurt the foundation of the country, and now the army of the Great Liang Dynasty is still strong and strong, and it is not afraid of a war with the Cissai State.

The only trouble is that a few days ago, Shen Wu'an received a report from the spies in front of him that the Bailiao Kingdom, which was sandwiched between Daliang and Xisai, had also mobilized troops in the border areas of the three countries, and it seemed that they were protecting their border cities, fearing that the war between Daliang and Xisai would affect their own people, but in fact, what their real intention was to gather troops, I am afraid that only they know in their own hearts.

Previously, because Shen Wu'an rejected Xiao Nansheng's suggestion that Qu Wurong and his relatives were pro, the alliance between the two countries did not go smoothly, so Bailiao's army was a big threat to the other two countries, and now both countries hope to draw Bailiao into their camp, so that their side is not only an extra powerful help, but also a war between two enemies and one, the chances of victory will be much greater.

Therefore, even if the armies of Daliang and Cisse are now ready at the border, neither side is willing to go to war first, at least until Bailiao's attitude is clear, they will not rashly choose to attack, and let themselves fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy on both sides.

What Shen Wu'an has to worry about now is how to continue the alliance that he didn't complete with the Bailiao Kingdom last time.

If Xiao Nansheng hadn't asked for peace at the beginning, the two countries would have formed an alliance by this time, and Shen Wu'an wouldn't have to have a headache for this kind of thing anymore, but I don't know why, Xiao Nansheng fell in love with Qu Wurong, who lived in the Royal Zen Monastery at the time, and even gave up a great opportunity to form an alliance with Da Liang for this reason.

Now that Da Liang has taken the initiative to make an alliance with Bai Liao, he must agree to Xiao Nansheng's previous request, and let Shen Wu'an promise to use his wife in exchange for a covenant, he can't do it anyway.

Of course, these things were deliberately suppressed by Shen Wu'an, and it was impossible for Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi to find out, and they also learned from the eunuchs on duty outside the imperial study that the border pass might be about to fight.

After listening to the two of them's returns, Qu Wurong couldn't help frowning.

No wonder Shen Wu'an has been so busy these days that he can't see anyone, it turns out that he was worrying about the war, but what she can't understand is that the war is not something that can't be let her know, why should Shen Wu'an bother to hide it from her?

Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi naturally couldn't give her an answer to this question, she could only ask Shen Wu'an from Shen Wu'an when she went to bed at night, but unfortunately Shen Wu'an seemed to have prepared a set of explanations, no matter how she changed her way to ask, he answered so that people couldn't find a flaw.

So the final result was that until Qu Wurong was so tired that he couldn't withstand the call of Duke Zhou and entered a sweet dreamland, he couldn't get any useful information from Shen Wu'an.

When Qu Wurong woke up the next day, she found that she hadn't asked anything, and she was really distressed for a while, but she seriously recalled the conversation with Shen Wu'an the night before, and couldn't find anything in doubt from it; In addition, after she became pregnant, her energy was no longer as abundant as before, and she felt tired after thinking about the problem for a while, and finally she had to give up pursuing this matter.

Soon it was time for her to leave the palace to escape the summer, although Shen Wu'an could not accompany her for the time being, but he still promised to personally send her out of the palace, so everyone began to wait for him from early in the morning, but it had been almost two hours, but they still did not wait for Shen Wu'an's figure.

"Why hasn't the emperor come back yet?" After Jin Yu, who went to wait outside the gate to wait for someone, returned again in vain, he couldn't help but complain, "If you wait any longer, the sky will be hot, how can the young lady bear it along the way?" ”

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the early morning when the weather was not so hot, but who knew that they had been waiting for almost two hours from the moment to now, but Shen Wu'an still didn't show up, and he sent someone to urge him just to say that he still had something to do, so let them wait a little longer, but if they waited any longer, it would be noon!

Qu Wurong was lying on the soft couch and was drowsy, she got up early today, she was not very awake, and after waiting for so long, her body was indeed very tired.

However, after hearing Jin Yu's words, she forced herself to open her eyes and said something to appease everyone's feelings, "The emperor must have something very important to do, otherwise he wouldn't let a group of us wait for him here." ”

She said that everyone understands this, but looking at the rising sun outside, everyone can't help but worry about her body, "But it's getting hotter and hotter, and it will take at least an hour and a half to drive from the palace to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, can your body withstand it, Miss?" ”

"It's okay." Qu Wurong replied nonchalantly, and gently stroked his bulging belly with his hand, "This little guy has been very well-behaved recently, there shouldn't be any trouble on the road, as for the hot weather, just endure it and it will pass." ”

Hearing her say this, others stopped persuading.

After waiting for another stick of incense, Shen Wu'an still didn't come back, Qu Yizhu sat down next to his sister, and said softly: "Sister, since the emperor has something to do, then let's not wait." ”

"No way!" As soon as her words fell, Qu Wurong rejected her suggestion, "No matter how late it is, I must wait until he comes back!" ”

It's not that Qu Wurong is willful, but I don't know when the things in the palace will be dealt with, and she won't be able to see Shen Wu'an for a while after she leaves today, so before leaving the palace, she must say goodbye to Shen Wu'an in person, otherwise she will be uneasy.

Seeing that her attitude was very resolute, Qu Yizhu had no choice but to let her, "Otherwise, I'll go and have a look." ”

The first few times, I asked Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi to ask, but I was afraid that they would be sent back without even seeing Shen Wu'an's face, but she was also a dignified Mrs. An Lehou, and it should not be difficult to see the emperor, I believe that Shen Wu'an would not bear to let Qu Wurong wait like this.

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked outside, but she had just taken two steps when she was stopped by Qu Wurong, "I'll go with you." After speaking, he beckoned to Jin Yu and Liangyuan, "You two help me up!" ”

Jin Yu and Liangyuan stepped forward, and one of them carefully helped her to stand up from the soft couch, "Miss, the sun has already risen outside, you better not run outside, right?" ”

"The emperor hasn't come back for so long, he must have encountered something tricky." Qu Wurong said as he held his stomach with his hand and walked outside, "I'm not worried, let's go over and see for myself." ”

Knowing that she couldn't listen to persuasion at this time, Jin Yu and Liangyuan had to support her alone, saving her too much hardship, while Yangchun and Bai Xue had already prepared the chariot for travel, and after carefully helping her to board the chariot, the group walked towards the direction of the imperial study.

After coming to the outside of the imperial study, Qu Wurong saw the two ministers walking out of the imperial study before he could step out of the chariot, as if he didn't expect to meet her here, the two people were stunned for a moment, and then knelt down and saluted, "I've seen the concubine!" ”

"You don't have to be polite, two adults, get up quickly." Qu Wurong said as he motioned to walk down from the chariot with the support of Jin Yu and Liangyuan, "This palace is here to see the emperor, is there anyone else in it?" ”

The two of them glanced at each other and nodded, "When the ministers came out, the emperor was still discussing things with Lord Zhai of the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid that Niangniang will have to wait for a while." ”

Hearing them say this, Qu Wurong didn't show a dissatisfied expression, but just bowed his head slightly to indicate that he knew, "Then the palace will wait here for a while." ”

"The ministers will retire first!" The two men saluted again, then turned away.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared that Qu Wurong withdrew his gaze, and Jin Yu next to him asked strangely, "Miss, what are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing." Qu Wurong shook her head gently, I don't know if it was her delusion, how could she think that the two people just now looked at her with an indescribable weirdness?

Although there are tall poplar trees everywhere outside the imperial study, and standing in the shade of the trees does not feel too hot, but this is for ordinary people, and for Qu Wurong, who is particularly afraid of heat after being pregnant, just standing in the shade for such a short time, she is already sweating profusely, Jin Yu and Liangyuan saw this and hurriedly helped her back to the chariot, and was about to persuade her to go back, when they heard Shen Wu'an's angry voice from the imperial study: "If everything is solved by kissing, What's the use of me keeping you people? ”

And pro? Qu Wurong accurately grasped the point in his sentence, she thought that Shen Wu'an was exhausted for the war that was about to ignite at the border pass, why did she suddenly mention something at this time?

Also, who wants to be close? Who do you want to kiss?
