Seeing Xiao Xiao's cautious and cautious appearance, Rock Candy nodded helplessly.

After walking away in three steps, he said to Qin Yining: "Princess, don't be angry with the prince." At that time, you suffered too much when you gave birth to two little sons, which really frightened the prince, he was a big man, in order not to let you suffer, and even came up with such a way, which shows his sincerity to you. ”

Seeing that Qin Yining only lowered his head slightly, he refused to speak. Bingtang said again: "The slave is afraid that you will blame yourself if you know, so she refuses to tell you." The prince is dedicated to you, and he can't spoil his heart. What's more, the medicine slave is indeed confident that it will not hurt the prince's roots, just thinking that it is a good thing if you don't get pregnant all these years, one is that the court is unstable, and you have lived a lot of wandering days, which is not suitable for this child, and the other is also to give you care and recuperate. ”

"I know you're well-intentioned." Qin Yining sighed lightly, "We were together early in the morning, although I had to accept you as a maidservant at that time, but I have always regarded you as a sister in my heart, and I naturally trust you." ”

When Bingtang remembered what happened back then, his heart was full of emotion, his long eyelashes flickered, and his big eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"Princess. I know your hardships, and I know that you are a kind person. We know your struggles. The suffering you have suffered for the prince over the years is not known, I am by your side all day long, where can I not know?

"Fortunately, the prince has always been consistent with you, and his feelings have never diminished due to prosperity, nor have they changed with the passage of time.

"When the prince asked me about this kind of medicine, the reason why I dared to give it was because I knew that the prince cared about you and your feelings, even if the prince didn't care about me, he would tolerate me in front of you."

Qin Yining was moved by Bingtang's sincere words, and took her hand and said, "I understand." I can also understand the thoughts of the prince and you at that time. I was just...... It feels indescribable. I am also worried that if he does not have any more children in the future, it will be my sin. I don't doubt his feelings for me, you look at my father, in this life, for the sake of children, in the end, ......"

Bingtang nodded, she has an apple face, a petite figure, and looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but because she has studied medicine for many years and has seen a lot of various diseases, she has a more thorough understanding of human life, aging, sickness and death, and a deeper understanding of world affairs.

"Princess, the most sincere thing in this world is feelings, but the most fragile thing is also feelings, the prince is really good to you, but no one can guarantee whether there will be changes in the future. The slave said this, not to ask you to guard against anything, after all, the feelings in this world are so elusive. The slave just wants to say that there is nothing wrong with you having these concerns, but you really don't need to take them too seriously. ”

Qin Yining felt as if he had entered a misunderstanding, and he couldn't help but think wildly, and he couldn't even control his emotions. Now this situation is not the time for her to be cranky, she thinks that this is not appropriate.

"I understand what you say, it's just that emotions are not so easy to control. Come to think of it, I really shouldn't be, the prince is very good to me. Who can say for sure what will come? It doesn't necessarily go the way I want it to, and it's too early to start worrying about the future. ”

Bingtang smiled and nodded, seeing that Qin Yining's brows were still worried, he couldn't help but say: "Princess, now you can't see the happy pulse on your pulse, but the slave maid thinks that you are very emotional like you when you were pregnant with your brother, and your mind has become more sensitive and soft." ”

Qin Yining's slender white hand caressed his lower abdomen and smiled: "This kind of thing, in fact, even if it can't be seen from the pulse, the feeling of being a mother is also very accurate, and I think I really have it." If I didn't say it at first, I didn't want to have an empty rejoice. ”

Bingtang smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, princess, I'll work hard to adjust it for you, and you can listen to me, let you eat whatever you want, let you sleep as long as you want, and ensure that you will be foolproof when you really want to give birth in the future." ”

Qin Yining's mood suddenly brightened, and he nodded again and again.

When he came back after dark, he saw that Qin Yining was no different from the past, and Bingtang also nodded to him to indicate that it was okay, so he was relieved.

After a simple dinner, Qin Yining served Xiao Kuanyi.

"Is there a war report from the imperial court? What is the situation of the battle in Dingbei? ”

Xiao Xiao sat on the edge of the bed in a snow-white middle coat, but the robe in Qin Yining's hand was thrown on the screen, and she was pulled into the quilt that was covered with a soup woman, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"The battle report has not yet arrived, and the weather is cold, and our people's journey has been delayed. But the situation ahead is certainly not much better. ”

During this period, the war between the Great Zhou and the Tatars was in a state of decline. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had just been founded, it should be a time when the soldiers were strong and strong, but the silver in the imperial court was not enough, and the Tatars seemed to see that the Great Zhou did not have the silver to fight a protracted war, but avoided the edge and deliberately delayed time with the Great Zhou.

Even if Ji Zeyu has the ability, he can't bring the soldiers who can't eat enough and are full of resentment.

After several battles, now Huichuan County has long been lost, and it has continued to retreat for hundreds of miles, and it is very close to the capital.

If there is no improvement, I am afraid that the Tatars will directly hit the capital. Wouldn't it be dangerous?

When the two of them thought of the scorching war, their hearts were a little heavy for a while.

After a good night's sleep, the next morning, the latest battle report was delivered.

At first glance, he couldn't even eat breakfast.

"The situation is not good, Ah Lan and Gao Wenliang have led the Tiger Ben Army to retreat to the last city outside the capital."

"What?" Qin Yining was shocked, and his chopsticks fell off, "The Tatars are already about to hit the capital?" ”

Xiao Xiao nodded solemnly, put down the battle report, and unfolded the secret report, which clearly stated the situation of coming to the capital today, the attitudes of all parties and the public opinion of the people.

Xiao Xiao glanced at it, and handed it to Qin Yining: "Sister Yi'er, take a look." ”

Qin Yining handed the chopsticks he picked up to rock candy to wash, and turned around to take the secret report that he denied.

At first glance, she was angry and laughed.

"It's really funny, the faint king himself spent all the money, and he couldn't use the silver to buy food to help the victims, and he couldn't take out the silver to feed the army, but he complained about you!"

The secret report clearly wrote: The prince is for disaster relief and purchases grain and grass from all over the world, although many wealthy grain merchants are located in the north, they would rather send grain to the prince for disaster relief than sell it to the imperial court to feed the tiger army and resist the Tatars.

"Those rich people and businessmen care most about profits, they are not stupid, the same grain, of course, will choose the reasonable price to sell. The Son of Heaven only said how much silver he would give, but what he did was no different from plundering, either forcibly lowering the price or issuing an IOU. He doesn't give money to sell grain, and he will owe money at every turn, which is no different from giving people for free, and those people will of course sell grain to those who can get cash. ”

Qin Yining returned the secret report to Xiao Xiao, frowned, and said: "As soon as the news spreads, I'm afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will also resent us." Along the way, you worked hard to raise food and deal with those people, and gradually opened up the situation, and saved so many ordinary people with the food you bought. But now that they say you're a sinner, you're a sinner. ”

"Well, I can't be angry about this." Xiao Xiao smiled openly, "Anyway, I have a clear conscience, and besides, the money is used on the people, and I feel very comfortable." ”

He was so cheerful, which caused Qin Yining to laugh too, "God has also given the best reward for what you have done, and you have won the love and trust of the people and your subordinates." If Li Qitian knows these things again, I'm afraid he will be angry and turn the table, he doesn't want you to regain control of the Tiger Ben Army, but he accidentally let you get the hearts of the people, and Gao Wenliang's ability is not as good as you, the war is getting more and more tight, seeing that the Tatars will break through the last city and the army will come to the city, Li Qitian is afraid that he will be angry and helpless. ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded. He knows Li Qitian too well. At this time, he was afraid that his intestines would be repentant. But the original choice was made by himself, and no one influenced his thoughts, and he couldn't complain about the matter so far.

The relief of the old capital was carried out in an orderly manner, and when Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining were busy feeding and relocating the people, the court and China were already in chaos.

At the court meeting, Li Qitian sat on the Jinluan Palace, and the courtiers were arguing over the war.

Some people agree to remove Gao Wenliang and send Xiao Xiao back to help Ji Zeyu, while others figure out their intentions and say that Xiao Xiao's regaining control of the military power is a flood beast, as if Xiao Xiao will rebel as soon as he returns.

Li Qitian listened to the first two big, the situation these days is too anxious, he hasn't slept well for two days, he came to the court, the court will be noisy. After returning to the harem, the harem ladies were even more frightened and laughing, as if the Tatars were about to enter the palace.

The Queen Mother even took his hand and asked him to send someone to send their female dependents out of the palace to protect them secretly.

Li Qitian was in a panic and became angry. As an emperor, he didn't even think about running. The queen mother and the concubines ate rice in a group, but they couldn't help, but they also caused chaos for him, and they were the first to want to run away.

Li Qitian doesn't even feel strong to quarrel now, but he didn't settle the account in the harem, but just ordered: The Tatars can't get in, and even if they do, the royal family would rather die than let anyone survive.

When the Queen Mother and Li Helan heard about it, they hugged their heads and cried.

Li Qitian's annoying brain hurts, and now the ministers are still arguing, and they can't put forward useful suggestions at all, he really can't bear it, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Shut up." I raise you, that is, in times of crisis, let you speak freely and contribute to the country, you are good, what are you thinking about now? ”

Long Yan was furious, and the noisy people had to stop.

Li Qitian felt that he couldn't count on these people, so he simply issued a direct order: "The Tatar war is tense, and in order to defend the authenticity, I will order the defenders from all over the country to go to King Jingqin to jointly resist the Tatars." ”
