Emperor Longqing wanted Prince Zheng and Wei Yangqing to go as imperial envoys to supervise the war, secretly asking them to act as lobbyists.
The old lady responded, "Old Five came and told me that the will of the saint cannot be disobeyed, so we have to go. But once we go back, we may not be able to come back so soon."
Wei An understood the implication and was silent for a moment before nodding: "Yes, he may not be able to return so soon. The turmoil in Jiangxi has already occurred. If the King of Jin gives up, he will surely die. How can he surrender? And once the war starts, it will not be so easy to end."
Prince Zheng and Wei Yangqing followed the imperial court's order. If everything went well, it would probably take at least a year and a half, not to mention if there were any accidents, it would be even more difficult to say how long it would take.
Speaking of this, Old Lady Wei couldn't help but sigh, "We don't know what the situation will be like. Prince Linjiang probably doesn't want to stop it. It won't do him any good to stop it. If this happens, we don't know how long it will last. It's a confusing account that we can't figure out no matter how we calculate it."
But it was a rare time when she was clear. Old Madam Wei sat up straight again and said, "Fortunately, he was determined enough to deal with Chu Jingxing this time and didn't show mercy anymore."
It's already rotten flesh, and it won't grow back into a scab if you keep it. It's better to cut it out completely. Although it will leave a scar, it's much better than letting the whole body rot.
The grandparents and grandchildren talked in detail, and before they knew it, more than half an hour had passed. The sun was already at its zenith outside. Qingyu smiled and said outside, "Madam, Princess, the prince came with the princess, and now he is accompanied by the third lady and is coming to us."
The prince she was talking about was Prince Zheng. Old Madam Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. It seems that we really can't talk about people behind their backs."
As he said this, he asked Qingyu to come in and help him change into clothes for meeting guests, and then he invited Prince Zheng and Princess Zheng to come in.
Princess Zheng was a little tired from walking with her belly bulging, so the old lady quickly asked her to sit down and asked her, "Why do you look unwell, are you feeling unwell?"
Princess Zheng's face really looked bad. The dark circles under her eyes could not be covered up no matter what she did. She sighed and said, "It's nothing... I just didn't sleep well these past few days."
He had to go to the palace to pay his respects every day and chat with the Queen to relieve her boredom. It would be strange if he could sleep soundly.
The old lady paused, then looked at King Zheng and said, "Today, why don't you make it clear to His Majesty how much you value your wife. I don't think His Majesty will care about these little details when he wants to use you."
No matter what, the human body is more important.
If something really goes wrong with this pregnancy, who can I turn to for justice
King Zheng nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I will go and tell His Majesty in person tomorrow."
Having said that, he stopped talking again and looked at Old Madam Wei and Wei An, frowning and saying, "There is just one thing that I can't decide on."
Princess Zheng shook his hand and looked at him with a smile: "Didn't we agree on this? I will stay at home and close the door tightly. Even if you are not here, it is the palace after all. Is it possible that someone can break in and do anything to me?"
Old Lady Wei and Wei An looked at each other and understood why King Zheng was worried.
He would be away for such a long time, leaving the capital, leaving Princess Zheng alone in the capital. Unfortunately, Princess Zheng had no reliable family members, and the Huairen Marquis's Mansion was as far away as it could be, and was of no help at all.
King Zheng looked at her and turned his head to say, "I am really worried if he stays alone in the capital and you all go to Fujian. It would be fine if nothing happens. If something does happen, I will be thousands of miles away. Even if I want to save him, it will be difficult. Besides, she is about to give birth. I am sorry that I can't accompany her. If I put her in danger again..."
King Zheng has never stopped blaming himself for not protecting the young Ming fish.
If he can't even protect Miss Ding, he might never be able to live a peaceful life again in this life.
Old Mrs. Wei frowned and was a little undecided.
What King Zheng said was that with the current internal and external troubles, the situation is changing rapidly and no one can predict what will happen next.
What if Prince Linjiang really rebelled? Prince Zheng and Wei Yangqing outside would become targets. Emperor Longqing would definitely vent his anger on them and blame them for not reporting the incident.
By then, Princess Zheng will be the fish waiting to be slaughtered.
But how easy is it for Princess Zheng to leave the capital
Not to mention that Princess Zheng no longer has any biological parents. Even if she has one and they are living in another place, how could Emperor Longqing allow her, a princess of a vassal state, to return home and stay while she is pregnant with Prince Zheng's child
Mrs. Wei thought for a while but still couldn't think of a solution, so she asked, "What do you think?"
Prince Zheng said quietly, "I want to entrust the person to the care of the Qinghe Earl's Mansion."
Mrs. Wei's eyelids twitched violently, and she asked him in disbelief, "What did you say?"
How is this possible
The two families are not relatives, and the situation is like that...
The wife of the Earl of Qinghe is not a person who is willing to help others or do good deeds.
Wei An understood what his father meant and asked him, "You want to entrust it to Third Young Master Lin, right?"
Prince Zheng smiled, knowing that his daughter had come to her senses, and hummed, "What I mean is, if Third Young Master Lin is willing to help, he can persuade Concubine Shu..."
Although Concubine De was favored and the Empress was the Empress, Concubine Lin Shu, who was now pregnant and had been with Emperor Longqing for many years, and who had always been low-key but never out of the center, had a more stable position.
If she could lend a helping hand and say that she enjoys Princess Zheng's company, then Princess Zheng would be able to stay safe.
Old Madam Wei relaxed her frown and nodded, "This is a good idea, but the Concubine Shu has always been low-key, I'm afraid she may not be willing to say it."
Wei An was somewhat helpless, as she knew what her father meant. He came to ask for her opinion. If she agreed, she would go and ask Young Master Lin for help.
Concubine Lin Shu has always loved her younger brother as if he were the apple of her own eye. As long as he made a request, she would satisfy it. It was also because Concubine Lin Shu was good to her younger brother that Emperor Longqing loved her and cultivated the third young master Lin.
She always felt that Young Master Lin seemed to treat her differently, and Prince Zheng must have known it.
Girls are always more sensitive, just like they can sense Shen Chen...
She retracted these thoughts in time, and knew that the method proposed by King Zheng was the best one, so she nodded in agreement: "This is indeed worth a try."
