"Your senior brother heard that you had a fever last night and took care of you all night long." Hua Qingxue had an unknown smile in her eyes.
After Su Shaowen listened, he realized that Liang Wensheng was still standing next to him. Seeing Liang Wensheng's haggard face with a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, a trace of warmth flowed through his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist: "Thank you, senior brother."
Liang Wensheng scratched his head in embarrassment: "We are all men. Just say thank you. I wish you were fine!"
Su Shaowen lowered his eyes, an imperceptible sadness flashed across his eyes, then he raised his head and returned to his original state.
…
Above the court.
"What do you think about the soaring prices?" Li Jingnan glanced at the ministers standing below expressionlessly.
The Queen Mother listened to the affairs behind the curtain.
The ministers seemed to be facing Li Jingnan, but they still looked at the Queen Mother.
Li Jingnan's eyes were filled with a sinister look, and then he quickly calmed down and remained calm.
"Your Majesty, the skyrocketing prices have aggravated the deficit of our Da Qi State's treasury!"
A minister has revealed the truth.
Li Jingnan listened quietly to their arguments.
Prime Minister Zuo stood in the court listening to their argument, and then looked at Li Jingnan who had a cold expression on his face. He couldn't help but frown. He had a vague feeling that this was a hot potato.
"Your Majesty, currently the largest industry in Shengjing is the Tang Sect. If the Tang Sect helps, the market will not be completely price imbalanced." A minister expressed his thoughts.
When Zuo Xiang heard this, he secretly cried out, fearing that the little emperor had already made up his mind.
Prince Ning didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He must have known who was behind the soaring prices.
"I think so too." A smile appeared at the corner of Li Jingnan's mouth, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the smile did not reach deep into his eyes, "I wonder how the Queen feels?"
Zheng Shuwen frowned on the side, and everyone's eyes were fixed on her.
"Just let the emperor decide!" Zheng Shuwen didn't intend to say anything. Besides, Li Jingnan was already sitting there in the court hall, so she didn't have much say.
"Then leave this matter to Prime Minister Zuo. I believe Prime Minister Zuo will not let me down." Li Jingnan smiled and looked at Prime Minister Zuo lightly.
There were faint sighs among the courtiers. They all knew that Prime Minister Zuo had an unclear relationship with Mr. Tang Yu, the head of the Tang Sect.
The Prime Minister Zuo's face darkened slightly. It was not right for him to answer, and even less so for him not to answer.
"Wei Chen is already old and a bit old and confused. It's better to leave this kind of thing to young people to experience. I'd better not add trouble to my old bones." Zuo Xiang said a little evasively. He didn't want to take this job. Errands.
"This is not a trivial matter. I have thought about it carefully and feel that Prime Minister Zuo is the most suitable candidate. Therefore, Prime Minister Zuo should not shirk. Just like that, he will withdraw from the court." Li Jingnan's eyes narrowed and he was already a little unhappy.
Prime Minister Zuo wanted to say something else, but Li Jingnan had already stood up.
Chen Yuan did not expect that Li Jingnan would leave the matter to the left prime minister so directly, leaving no chance for anyone to argue.
After leaving the court, Zuo Xiang went directly to the imperial study without leaving the palace.
"Prime Minister Zuo." The guard handed over the luggage.
"Is the Emperor here? I want to see the Emperor." Prime Minister Zuo frowned and wanted to go in to see Li Jingnan.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the Emperor is reviewing the memorial, and no one is around at the moment." The eunuch next to Li Jingnan said, the Emperor had just ordered not to see anyone, how could they dare to neglect him
"Can you tell me that I have something urgent to see the emperor?" Zuo Xiang frowned.
"Prime Minister Zuo, this is not just what the servant said. You also know the emperor's temper." The eunuch looked at Prime Minister Zuo with a troubled face.
"Prime Minister Zuo? Let him come in." Li Jingnan had already heard the voice outside the door.
When the guards heard this, they stopped stopping the left prime minister.
"I am here to attend, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Zuo came in and said.
"If the Prime Minister is here for court matters, then don't say anything else." Li Jingnan did not raise his head, and his hand was still writing on the memorial.
"I want to know why I was asked to do this. There are many capable people in the court." Zuo Xiang expressed his doubts.
Li Jingnan paused and raised his head: "You go out first, don't let anyone in."
After everyone retreated, Li Jingnan looked at Prime Minister Zuo with a solemn expression: "Prime Minister, does he know why I am so concerned about this matter?"
When Zuo Xiang heard this, he felt that this was not a simple matter. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
"The initiator behind the soaring prices is Prince Xiao Han of the Liao Kingdom. It is no longer a matter of a day or two for the Liao Kingdom to capture Daqi." Li Jingnan sighed.
A trace of complexity flashed in Zuo Xiang's eyes.
"Before the general left, he specifically asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly."
"The emperor means that the general is no longer in Shengjing?" Zuo Xiang did not expect that Fu Tingye was no longer in Shengjing.
"The general has rushed to the border." Li Jingnan nodded.
Prime Minister Zuo touched his beard. General Fu walked really quietly.
"I will investigate this matter clearly."
…
"You said Fu Tingye is no longer in Shengjing?" Zheng Shuwen stood up in surprise.
"I heard with my own ears what the emperor and the left prime minister said." Xiaodouzi, who was kneeling below, did not dare to tell lies.
"You go down first." Zheng Shuwen waved her hand and let him go out.
Zheng Shuwen's eyes flashed with fierceness. Fu Tingye was not in Shengjing, so she had the opportunity to attack Hua Qingxue.
We must get rid of Hua Qingxue when Fu Tingye comes back!
"Queen Mother, this is a great opportunity to get rid of Hua Qingxue." Zi Wan appeared next to Zheng Shuwen at some unknown time, "Keeping Hua Qingxue here must be a disaster."
"I don't see how she could have escaped without Fu Tingye's protection this time." Zheng Shuwen snorted coldly, her amorous eyes full of gloom.
The absence of Fu Tingye means that she can take action at any time without any scruples.
Hua Qingxue, who was focused on preparing arms, was not aware of the upcoming danger.
"Wu Zhuo, tonight you escort Wen Sheng to send these new Thunder Thunders to the military camp." Hua Qingxue looked at him seriously. She would definitely not be at ease if Liang Wensheng was allowed to go alone.
"But the general has an order for me to stay and protect my wife." Wu Zhuo half-knelt on the ground. As the saying goes, military orders cannot be violated.
"I will tell the general personally that you and Wen Sheng will rush to Panshui tonight. If it's too late, you won't be able to catch up with the two armies to start the war!" Hua Qingxue's eyes were cold, exuding a kind of majesty that could not be violated.
"When you get there, help me give this letter to the general." Hua Qingxue took out the letter she wrote and handed it to him.
"I understand, madam." Wu Zhuo took the letter and put it into his arms.
Liang Wensheng loaded the prepared thunderbolts and cannon barrels onto the carriage.
Before leaving, Hua Qingxue did not forget to tell the two of them to pay attention to safety along the way and not to let the Liao army notice.
"Okay, Master, it's getting late, we have to be on our way." In order to prevent Xiao Han's eyeliner in Shengjing from noticing, they could only leave the city at night.
"Vice General Qin has already arranged the inns along the road." Hua Qingxue felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.
"I understand, Master, let's go."
Watching the carriage disappear into the night, the stone in Hua Qingxue's heart finally fell.
"Madam, don't worry, they will definitely deliver it on time." Huan'er kept comforting her.
Hua Qingxue said nothing, turned around and walked into the house.
When Liang Wensheng left, Su Shaowen was a little reluctant to leave. He also wanted to follow him, but Hua Qingxue did not let him follow him after recovering from a serious illness. He could only watch helplessly and wait for their return.
Hua Qingxue returned to the house and couldn't sleep while lying on her bed. She had a terrible headache. She covered her head and felt a little uneasy inside.
After struggling until early morning, Huan'er saw the pain on her face and hurriedly went to the doctor.
"Ouch," Huan'er bumped into someone just after leaving the yard. Huan'er was hit so hard that she wanted to curse, but when she saw who it was, she immediately smiled.
"Why are Huan'er so anxious?" As soon as Lu Zhengqing rushed back, he was hit by someone.
"Master Lu, you came back just in time, so I don't have to go out to see the doctor. Madam has a headache again!"
"I'll go over right away." Lu Zhengqing's face turned solemn upon hearing this, "Huan'er, please help me bring my father-in-law and mother-in-law to my place."
Only then did Huan'er see that Lu Zhengqing was accompanied by two elderly couples. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Mrs. Luo, Master Luo."
"Is the lady you are talking about the Sibing's wife?" Mrs. Luo asked Huan'er curiously.
"Yeah, it's Mrs. Si Bing."
"Master, it seems that we can not only see our granddaughter this time, but also Mrs. Si Bing." Mrs. Luo had a smile on her face.
"Okay, okay, let's go see Yu'er first." Mr. Luo exuded an elegant aura, and looked at Mrs. Luo with tenderness in his eyes.
"Then take us there quickly." When Mrs. Luo mentioned her daughter, she couldn't stop smiling, obviously she couldn't wait.
Huan'er took them there.
Lu Zhengqing hurried to see Hua Qingxue. When he opened the door and walked in, he saw Hua Qingxue rolling on her bed with her head in her arms.
"Xi'er, go get my needle." Lu Zhengqing ordered Xi'er who was helpless.
Xi'er was also overjoyed when she saw Lu Zhengqing, and hurried to get Lu Zhengqing's needle.
Lu Zhengqing took out a needle and inserted it into Hua Qingxue's acupuncture point.
Hua Qingxue's pain slowly eased a lot. Lu Zhengqing frowned, looking at Hua Qingxue who was no longer rolling around with her head in her hands, and covered her wrist and began to feel her pulse.
He retracted his hand and asked Xi'er beside him: "Have you experienced any stimulation, madam, in the past few days?"
"No, I didn't see Madam being irritated in any way, but Shaowen has been ill for the past two days." Xi'er thought for a while, but didn't notice anything wrong with Hua Qingxue.
We can only wait until Hua Qingxue wakes up before asking.
"Xi'er, please guard Madam first. I still have something to do. Remember to call me when Madam wakes up. I have something to ask Madam." Lu Zhengqing warned Xi'er before turning and leaving.
