Uncle Qin stood up and walked to the dragon robe and asked, "What do you think of this dragon robe?"
Zhao Chong panicked and said, "Uncle, our father is now addicted to opium and is being used by us. The imperial physician has said that his time is running out. We must not commit regicide and let Prince Ning or Prince Liao catch us!"
Zhao Chong looked carefully at the dragon robe in front of him. It was obvious that the dragon robe was not his.
Uncle Qin patted Zhao Chong on the shoulder and said, "Prince Ning and Prince Liao have dared to rebel and have lost the support of the people. They will surely be defeated by us."
Zhao Chong said in panic: "Uncle...you..."
Uncle Qin said in a cold voice, "Be obedient and be a good Crown Prince in the palace."
Zhao Chong clenched his hands and said, "Yes."
When Zhao Chong left the Qin Mansion, he felt depressed. Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds, it seemed as if thunderclouds were coming. He always thought that the Qin family was just using him as a puppet emperor.
Unexpectedly, the Qin family had already prepared the dragon robe!
…
The Dragon Boat Festival in Beicheng is not as lively as that in Shengjing City.
There is a custom of dragon boat racing in the Quancheng military camp, but with the army about to start, no one is interested in dragon boat racing.
In Prince Qi's mansion.
Qi Yuning said to Lu Ze in the study, "We are leaving with the army tonight. Why don't you stay and take care of Lingling?"
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and said, "You and Bao Shuang and Bao Xue went to the battlefield. If I stayed in Beicheng and was afraid of death, what would I be?"
Qi Yuning said helplessly: "But I promised Lingling that I would not leave her, and now I have to leave again..."
Lu Ze chuckled and said, "Lingling has Brother Ayou as her companion now. I see she hasn't been sticking around us during the day these past few days. She's only been looking for Brother Ayou to play with."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "But I'm afraid Lingling will cry if we leave."
Lu Ze said, "We have my parents around, and Lu Baozhu is here to play with Lingling. They will make Lingling happy."
Qi Yuning went to Lu Baohua to find Lingling. Lingling was practicing calligraphy with little Ayou. Little Ayou's calligraphy had already taken shape, while Lingling was drawing small circles, although these circles were not very round.
Seeing Qi Yuning coming over, Lu Baohua said, "Princess, Lingling is practicing the order of her strokes. Lingling is actually very smart, but she is too young. She needs to practice the order of her strokes to write well. Her old practice of copying will not work well."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I feel relieved to have you teach her."
Qi Yuning hopes that Lingling can grow up happily, but she also hopes that she can study hard and be sensible, be as free and easy-going as Lu Baozhu, be full of poetry and books like Lu Baohua, and be as chivalrous as the two sisters Baoshuang and Baoxue, and learn martial arts to protect herself.
Qi Yuning walked up to Lingling and said, "Lingling, mother has something to tell you."
Lingling put down the brush in her hand, threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms and said, "What does mother want to say to Lingling?"
Qi Yuning whispered, "Lingling, mother is leaving North City tonight. Mother is going to follow your uncle Ayou's father and the others to fight the bad guys and save His Majesty, so mother has to leave Lingling again..."
Lingling hugged Qi Yuning tightly with her little hands and said, "Lingling, follow mother and fight the bad guys together! Lingling has a small wooden sword. Lingling has learned a lot of kung fu from the third and fourth aunts. Lingling can defeat the bad guys!"
Qi Yuning smiled and touched Lingling's forehead and said, "You and Brother Ayou, wait obediently for Daddy and Mommy to take you back to Shengjing City, okay?"
Lingling leaned on Qi Yuning's shoulder and shook her head, "No, no! Wuwu!"
Qi Yuning said helplessly: "Mom promised Lingling that she would come to find Lingling as soon as she defeated the bad guys!"
Lingling said, "Lingling doesn't want anything, she just wants to be with her mother."
Lu Baohua felt distressed looking at the poor Lingling and said to Qi Yuning, "Princess, why don't you stay here?"
Qi Yuning said, "This war is urgent. I was previously in charge of the Qi family's silver and grain. Our Qi family army suffered heavy losses due to military rations, so I can no longer leave the military rations to others. I need to go."
Qi Yuning held Lingling in her arms and said cruelly, "Lingling, I'm sorry, mother has to leave you."
Lingling burst into tears, "Lingling doesn't like mommy's kisses anymore. I won't like mommy's kisses anymore."
Little Ayou looked up at Lingling and said, "Lingling is very naughty. Lingling looks so ugly when she cries. She's not pretty at all."
Lingling suddenly stopped crying, wiped her tears with her little hands, and asked Qi Yuning: "Mommy, is Lingling ugly?"
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Lingling is very beautiful."
Little Ayou continued, "Dad and Mom went to the battlefield to protect our descendants and to build a prosperous country. You should be proud of this. Every time my dad went out to fight the bandits in the desert, I didn't cry because he was a hero!"
Lingling pouted and said, "But Lingling can also be a little hero. She can follow mother to fight the bad guys. Mother, please take Lingling with you."
Little Ayou said: "You are so young, if you go there, you will need someone to take care of you washing, dressing and feeding you!"
Lingling listened to what little Ayu said and said weakly, "Lingling can dress and eat by herself...but Lingling can't wash herself, wuwuwu."
Qi Yuning patted Lingling's head and said, "Be good and play with Brother Ayou in Beicheng. It will be quick. Trust your uncle and our Qi Family Army. We will definitely win."
Lingling said, "Then Mommy must think of Lingling every day, and Lingling will also think of Mommy every day."
Qi Yuning kissed Lingling hard on the side of her face, and Lingling also held Qi Yuning's face and kissed her, "Mmm!"
