Chapter 233: Defending Against Foreign Enemies
Zheng Xun understood what Qiu Jue meant, and he knew that with their strength, they couldn't fight against the second prince at all.
What's more, Prince Zheng originally didn't approve of him rebelling with other vassal kings, maybe the old prince had already seen the strangeness.
"Queen Mother, maybe my father knows what's going on, and I can only know the reason for it after my father wakes up." Zheng Xun looked at Qiu Jue.
Qiu Jue nodded: "Okay, then let's wait for the prince to wake up in the next few days." ”
"Miss, it's not too early." Little Pink reminded beside her.
Zheng Xun immediately stood up: "Oh, the Queen Mother atoned for her sins, it's getting late, and the room has been sorted out for you." ”
Qiu Jue nodded, and then walked out first, Xiao Peach followed closely behind, and the blackbird looked around, and there was no abnormality, so he followed back and walked towards the room.
When Qiu Jue returned to the room, he saw Xiaobai sleeping on a chair.
"Xiaobai? When did you come? With whom? Qiu Jue walked to Xiaobai's side suspiciously, picked it up and asked.
"You can really run around, how dangerous it is out there now, if you have an accident, I can't save you." Qiu Jue stroked Xiaobai's white hair.
Xiao Taohong stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, Miss, I brought it here, I saw that one of them stayed in the palace, and it followed us back and forth, so I didn't worry about letting it stay in the palace, so I brought it over." ”
"You little girl really want to play a play! We have important things to do this time, what if something happens? Qiu Jue said angrily.
Xiao Taohong still had a hippie smile on her face: "Hehe, no, Miss is a Jiren with her own natural appearance, and there will be no accidents, and I found a problem." ”
"What's the problem?" Qiu Jue asked Xiao Taohong curiously.
Xiao Taohong smiled and said: "Hehe, every time Miss encounters danger, Xiaobai is always by your side, and you can turn evil into good fortune, so I think Xiaobai is Miss's mascot." ”
"Is there one? When was Xiaobai by my side? Qiu Jue couldn't think of it for a while.
Little Peach didn't speak for a long time: "I want to think about it." ”
After a while, he said: "I remember that when we went to the Fan family manor, Xiaobai was climbing on a tree, you have nothing to do, and the emperor also stunned the huge monster." ”
"By the way, and when we were chased by killers, Xiaobai was also behind us, and those killers didn't catch up."
"Isn't that because there is the emperor's secret guard?" Qiu Jue said.
"But how could so many beasts suddenly appear in the woods? I think it's all from Xiaobai. Little Peach also touched Xiaobai.
Xiaobai suddenly meowed.
"Hehe, Miss, you see, Xiaobai also agrees with me, and when we went to the Land of Ice and Snow, Xiaobai was outside that canyon."
"How do you know everything, girl?" Qiu Jue scratched Little Pink's nose.
Little Peach loosened the bridge of her nose: "Of course, don't forget that I am a red fox, and I am very delicate in observing things." ”
"Hey! If you have a talent for eating and playing and focusing on reading and practicing martial arts, you will not be in danger and unable to protect yourself. Qiu Jue touched Xiao Taohong's head and said.
Xiao Taohong broke free of Qiu Jue's hand: "Miss, I'm not Xiaobai, don't move me like this." ”
Qiu Jue saw Xiao Taohong's expression, so she smiled and said, "Haha, it seems that my little Taohong has begun to pay attention to appearance?" ”
Xiao Taohong nodded: "Of course, the young lady is the queen mother, Xiao Taohong can't let others look down on her, otherwise how can you help the young lady take care of those maids?" ”
"Yo! Do you still want to take care of those mothers-in-law? Those mothers-in-law are older than you, and the palace also needs their help, so don't provoke them, just take care of those maids. Qiu Jue said.
The blackbird said: "Those mothers-in-law are not vegetarians, they can stay in the palace until now, they can be described as human spirits, and it is impossible to beat them than this stupid person." ”
After hearing the blackbird's words, Little Peach clenched her fists, but when she saw the blackbird's sword, she retreated: "Hmph! Not like you, miss, what are we going to do next? ”
Qiu Jue looked at Xiaobai, and then said, "We can only wait for Qiu Chan's news now, but I don't know what happened to King Huai'an?" I hope I don't attack, I hope the wind and snow are bigger. ”
"Miss, don't worry, the current wind and snow have no intention of stopping, not to mention that they are relatively close to the country of ice and snow, although the wind and snow are not as big as what we saw, they can also stop them from attacking."
Qiu Jue looked at Xiao Taohong: "I hope so, okay, let's rest." ”
After Qiu Jue rested, there was no movement at night, and he slept until dawn.
In the early morning of the next day, Qiu Jue vaguely heard Xiao Taohong's voice, and then opened her eyes slightly and saw Xiao Taohong standing beside her bed.
Qiu Jue asked weakly: "What's wrong with Little Peach?" ”
Xiao Taohong followed: "Miss, something happened, the Tanglin people called." ”
Qiu Jue instantly sobered up, she sat up and looked at Xiao Taohong: "Is the news accurate?" ”
The blackbird nodded: "It's true, Qiu Chan has sent news that the king of the southwest and the Dongling people are attacking together, and the second prince is struggling to resist, but I'm afraid the East China Sea defense line won't be long in coming!" ”
Qiu Jue said: "But I can't go back now, by the way, blackbird, you send a message to the regent and the emperor, and let them use special stones, maybe they can repel the attack of Tanglin." ”
"A special stone?" Little Pink wondered.
Qiu Jue waved his hand: "You don't care, the emperor and the regent will understand what it is." ”
"Little Pink helps Hongu tidy up his clothes!" Qiu Jue quickly sat down in front of the bronze mirror.
After everything was completed, after Qiu Jue finished washing, he came to the hall, and Zheng Xun was wandering in it: "Niangniang, the Tanglin people suddenly attacked in advance, and the South China Sea defense line may not last long!" ”
Qiu Jue nodded: "The palace already knows, but you still need to hold on for at least six more days, and after six days, they will retreat." ”
"How is that possible? The Tanglin people have always wanted to capture the Celestial Empire, and it is absolutely impossible to retreat so easily. Zheng Xun shook his head and said.
Qiu Jue smiled and said: "You don't care about this matter, as long as you hold the coastal defense line, this palace will definitely have a way to retreat." ”
Suddenly, a flying pigeon flew to the blackbird, and the blackbird saw a secret letter on the pigeon's leg, so he opened it and saw that it was the regent.
"Miss, a letter from the Lord Regent." The blackbird walked in and handed it to Qiu Jue.
After Qiu Jue opened it, he handed it to the blackbird: "Do as you say." ”
"Little Lord, let's go to the kitchen to see how the prince is now, right?" Qiu Jue walked out first.
When they came to the kitchen, they found that the purple on Prince Zheng's face seemed to have worsened.
Zheng Xun asked nervously, "What's going on?" Why does it seem to be getting worse? ”
The lark shook his head: "The prince is fine, but the poisonous gas has gathered on his face with the fumigation therapy, and I have already helped the prince to administer the needle, as long as the poisonous blood is spit out, it will be fine." ”
"Didn't you say it would take seven days? How can it be relieved in one day? Qiu Jue asked.
Zheng Xun also asked eagerly: "Will you be able to clean up the poison tomorrow?" ”
Skylark shook his head: "No, it will take six days, the prince is poisoned too deeply, although his life is saved, but if the residual poison in his body is not cleared, it will recur." ”
"Then there's Miss Lao." Zheng Xun looked at Prince Zheng with concern, and then saluted the lark.
"The little prince is polite, this is what the lark should do." Skylark said.
Qiu Jue said: "You also rest and rest, there are still six days to go, if you fall, Prince Zheng's poison will be difficult to heal." ”
Zheng Xun called the doctors: "You guys are guarding here in turn, and you all have to obey the orders of the lark girl." ”
After explaining, Qiu Jue, Zheng Xun and Xiao Taohong left again.
At this time, the blackbird had already returned: "Miss, it has been arranged, the regent has sent the east and west non-stop, and the second son's side has also been escorted over by General Chen." ”
Qiu Jue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "That's good, I hope this time I can deter them, then I don't need to use that kind of thing." ”
The blackbird nodded: "Miss, don't worry, the regent is very confident in that thing, and may be able to take this opportunity to consolidate the position of the Celestial Empire and discourage those who covet the Celestial Empire." ”
Qiu Jue nodded: "That's good!" ”
After Qiu Jue and the others had eaten, they left King Zheng's mansion, she wanted to know what Luo Sheng's achievements had been in recent days? As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the border defense is stable, the Celestial Empire will be able to develop in a stable and orderly manner.
As soon as Qiu Jue stepped out of the gate of King Zheng's mansion, he saw Luo Sheng driving a carriage to the door.
"See the Queen Mother!" Luo Sheng bowed.
Qiu Jue asked curiously, "Luo Sheng, how did you know that this palace was going to look for you?" ”
Luo Sheng said solemnly: "Empress Dowager Qi, there is a war in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and I have already sent grain and grass, but I can't leave here for the time being, so I need the little prince to help escort the grain and grass to the East China Sea." ”
"Where did the food and grass come from? Isn't this harvest season? Qiu Jue was puzzled.
Luo Sheng said: "It is true that it is not the harvest season, but Weichen has studied the grain regardless of the season, so there is already a good harvest in the autumn harvest, and now the grain is planted." ”
"These are all donated by the people, but Wechen has already recorded the amount of food donated by each person, and when the war subsides, Wechen will return it to them according to their share." Luo Sheng said.
Qiu Jue nodded with satisfaction after hearing Luo Sheng's words: "It seems that this palace has not mistaken you, let the little prince send someone to this matter." ”
Zheng Xun walked down from the top of the steps: "Brother Luo, rest assured, Zheng Xun will live up to his mission and will definitely send someone to deliver the grain and grass." ”
Qiu Jue looked at Zheng Xun: "This palace has thanked you again for the emperor and the people of the Heavenly Dynasty." ”
Zheng Xun and Luo Sheng hurriedly returned the salute: "The Queen Mother is serious, this is what we should do as courtiers." ”
Qiu Jue nodded: "After the palace goes back, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of the emperor, okay, the little prince should arrange to leave quickly." ”
