The two turmoils made the court almost half empty, the old prince, the general, and the great Sima were imprisoned, and a large number of civil servants and military officers who followed the tide were exiled. The emperor and queen sat on the court, and there was a little more wind and frost between their eyebrows and eyes.

Ai Qing stood beside Mu Chunju, listening to him tell all the battles with Lou Qi before, and she realized how much effort he had spent in just half a month. After hearing this, the courtiers were even more in an uproar, in addition to being surprised by the extraordinary combat power of the wolf army, they were more questioning his failure to fight. The kings of all dynasties wanted to expand their territory and tried their best to conquer and plunder, but Mu Qingju turned a blind eye to the large territory that could have been easily obtained, and collected the army after killing the king and destroying the medicine.

Facing the noise of the courtiers, Mu Chun's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he asked: "With Chiyun's current national strength, how can he rule Lou Qi, whose population and land area far exceed his own?" If you do it reluctantly, it is tantamount to ants swallowing elephants, and when the people's hearts are not collected, other countries will take the opportunity to start a war, and the army will not be able to assemble because it is scattered everywhere, but I am afraid that Chiyun's situation will be more dangerous. ”

Taifu Chuhuai immediately had an epiphany when he heard Mu Qingdu's analysis, and said: "The prince is very right, there is a great shortage of good talents at the moment, if you divide some more to rule Lou Qi, I am afraid that it will be even more stretched at that time." The most important thing at the moment is to strengthen Chiyun's national strength, and only when the national strength is strong can we talk about other things. ”

"If this is indeed reasonable, but what if Chiyun lets it go and let the country reap the benefits of the fisherman?" Inspector Yushi He Guangwen's words hit the key.

"This ...... What do you think? "The emperor also knows that Chiyun can't swallow Lou Qi, but the other three kingdoms are very likely, and he is embarrassed for a while.

"Lou Qi is in the west of my Chiyun, and Pilan Guluo is in the south, Luo Cave is in the east, these three kingdoms want to swallow Lou Qi, they all need to pass through my Chiyun, Luo Cave has no worries, as for Gu Luo and Pi Lan I have already laid 10,000 wolf troops in the place where they must pass, and deliberately let out the wind, even if they want to gnaw this piece of meat, they will not dare to act rashly because they are afraid of the wolf army."

"The prince is thoughtful, but the ministers are too worried!" The courtiers had nothing to say when they heard that Mu Chun had already arranged all the worries, and they were even more impressed by his military talents.

After getting out of the court, Mu Chun was left in the imperial study by the emperor, and Ai Qing accompanied the queen back to Xihua Palace. The queen didn't want to arouse Ai Qing's sadness, she only picked up the rebellion in the palace, and didn't mention the child at all, but her eyes often looked at her stomach inadvertently, Ai Qing naturally felt it, the more the queen didn't mention it, the deeper the self-blame and guilt in her heart, and her eyes turned red after chatting for a while.

"Queen Mother~~" Aiqing finally couldn't help but call softly, and the tears in her eyes flowed out instantly.

"You kid, why are you crying?" The queen naturally understands Aiqing's mood at the moment, she has two sons in this life, and her only daughter is married far away, and she has seen a lot of scenes of life and death, and she knows that there are many things that she can't ask for.

"Queen Mother, it was Qin'er who didn't protect the child in her womb~~" Aiqing touched her lower abdomen and whimpered, and her lowered eyebrows never had the courage to raise them again!

"You brought back Du'er for your mother, and that's your credit. As for the matter of giving birth to a child, it depends on a fateful word, and this child has no fate with us, so you don't have to think about it anymore. You are still young, and sooner or later the child will have again. The queen comforted her, pulled her to herself, sighed, and continued: "Do you know how many times the queen mother has had a baby?" Three times, this cone-piercing pain has suffered more than you! ”

Ai Qing finally raised her head when she heard this, looked at the queen in a daze, and waited for her to continue.

"At that time, the harem was not as clean as it is now, and there were many people who wanted the life of the queen mother and the child in the womb, and the queen mother regarded me as a demon girl who charmed the monarch because the emperor favored the queen mother, if it wasn't for the emperor's desperate protection of me, I was afraid that the queen mother would not live today. The bitterness that the Queen Mother has tasted before does not want to be inflicted on you again. ”

Listening to the queen's sighs, Ai Qing knew why she treated her so well, the more people who have experienced ups and downs and tribulations, the more empathetic they can empathize with others. She only felt like the shadow of the queen, but she was much luckier than the queen.

Looking at her to stop her tears, the queen stroked her hair bun and said, "Okay! The emperor and the queen mother have already discussed, and the throne will be passed to Du'er next month, and you must be the mother of a country to be strong, and you must not cry easily. ”

"Passing the throne? Queen ......"

The queen's words made Ai Qing completely stunned, and hurriedly asked: "Father Kang Jian, why do you want to pass on the throne now." ”

"The queen mother and your father are both old, and this throne will be handed over to Du'er sooner or later, and today's knowledge and insight in the court are enough to convince the courtiers, and now it is better to take this opportunity to pass on the throne. Moreover, the decisive son Wen Taowu is far superior to the emperor, and the queen mother believes that he can govern Chiyun better. The queen seemed to add a bit of decadence between her eyebrows as she spoke, she had lived within the walls of this palace for most of her life, even if there was no wind and frost on her face, but the traces of the years had long been engraved in her heart.

------

After returning to the palace, the queen's words have always lingered in Ai Qing's heart, in the past, she was thinking more about the love of her children, but now she is going to pretend to be in the world of her family and country.

"Decided, my father left you behind today, but he said about the succession." Ai Qingqi asked in Mu Chundu's arms.

"Hmm" Mu Chun sighed heavily: "I only found out today that my father is really old, he and his mother have stayed in this palace for half their lives, although they are sitting on the country, they have never really appreciated the magnificence of the Chiyun territory, and now it is time to take a break and go outside the palace walls to see." ”

"The father and the emperor took the queen mother to see the desert rivers and mountains, and Qin'er accompanied you in the palace to guard the land of Limin." Ai Qing said word by word sonorously, and her eyes were firm and decisive.

Mu Chun looked at the bright eyes of the person in his arms, put a kiss on her forehead and asked, "Are you really willing to give up the whole world for me and stay within the palace walls of this Quartet every day?"

Ai Qing straightened up and shook her head: "This is not giving up, if there is no you, no matter how big the world outside the palace is, there will be no half color, but if you have you, where you are is my world." ”

"Qin'er~~" Mu Chun hugged her into his arms with emotion: "In this life, I will never fail you." ”

Hearing this, Ai Qing gently broke free from his arms, wrapped her hands around his neck, stood on tiptoe and smiled sweetly: "Let's have another child!" ”

"Are you well?"

Since she was pregnant, Mu Chun had never touched her again, how could such a delicate and graceful little wife lie on her side every day without being enthusiastic! But every time I think of her body, I can only suppress this heat, and now I still have to ask uncomfortably when I look at her blood-colored little face.

"That's it! I've already taken the pulse, and ......" Ai Qing's face turned red as she spoke: "The chance of getting pregnant in the past few days is very great." ”

"Huh?" Mu Chunju looked at her shy appearance and asked, "Is there a saying for this?" ”

"That's it...... I don't know how to tell you! In short, it is easy to get pregnant. Ai Qing's face was even redder at the root of his ears when he asked this.

Looking at her delicate appearance, Mu Chun couldn't help but pick her up horizontally, put her on the bed, sink down to seal her lips, and ask for ......

The next day, after the next court, Ai Qing was sitting at Ai Qing's table and explained to Mu Chun the small objects made a few days ago, each of which was very exquisitely made.

"Lord Wang, look who this is!" General Zhou walked in from outside the house, followed by a person.

"Master!" "Professor?"

Mu Qingjue and Ai Qing looked at the white-bearded old man in a Taoist robe in front of them, stood up and called at the same time.

"Master, are you still alive?" Mu Qingju walked around the desk and strode forward, his eyes full of surprise.

"Hmm" The white-bearded old man nodded with a distinguished expression, and then looked at Ai Qing, who was standing behind Mu Chundu, with a surprised expression.

Looking at the master's gaze, Mu Qingju turned around and led Ai Qing forward and introduced: "Master, this is Qi Qin'er, the apprentice's wife, Qin'er, this is the master I mentioned to you before, Daoist Yuan Chong."

Daoist Yuan Chong looked at Ai Qing and nodded, stroked his long beard and asked, "Why did you call me a professor?"

"Oh! The master looks like a person Qin'er knew before, maybe Qin'er was wrong! Ai Qing looked at the old man with long beard and gray hair in front of him, and felt that it seemed unlikely.

"Master, my apprentice heard that you had ...... a few years ago," Mu Chun's decisive words interrupted her thoughts.

"It's okay for the teacher, what can those poisons do to me? All these years as a teacher, it's just a temporary departure for something. As Daoist Chongyuan spoke, he turned his head and saw all kinds of objects on the table, but he only raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say anything.

"Master sit down first, and Qin'er will make you tea." Ai Qing thought that the master and apprentice should have a lot to say, so he beckoned Daoist Chongyuan to sit down and go to make tea himself.

Daoist Chong Yuan watched Ai Qing go out, turned his head and asked, "Jue'er, how long have you been married?" ”

"Back to Master, it's been nearly a year since Qin'er married into the palace."

"Can you notice the difference in her?" Daoist Chongyuan asked tentatively.

"What is Master referring to? Don't hide it from Master, Qin'er is indeed different from others, Qin'er said that she is from another world" Mu Chun said and got up and took a few small objects from the desk and handed them to Master and said: "These objects are common things in their world, but the disciples have never seen them, and they only feel that these objects are indeed much more advanced, especially the round ball called the electric light, which is really refreshing for the disciples." ”

"Electric light? Did she make the electric light? Daoist Chongyuan was stunned when he heard this.
