"Don't even mention those two, aren't my two the same? As soon as Shaoyang mentioned getting him married, they ran away. They've been in the south for almost a month now and still haven't come back."
"The other one, no matter how I look at them, it's not going well. Now there are rumors that Shi Xiao's reputation isn't very good, and no one wants to marry her. Sigh!"
Zhao Hanyue felt sad when she talked about this. How come her two sons, who were so good-looking and capable, couldn't find wives?
She was so worried that her hair was falling out in clumps! She even wanted to send her secret guards to capture Lin Xiong'an and give him a good beating. It was all because of that black-hearted bastard that she couldn't find her son and daughter-in-law.
As Lin Yuxin listened to their gossip about her brothers and saw how upset Zhao Hanyue was, she suddenly remembered that her third brother was spreading rumors about her to avoid being framed! It seems this boomerang was a bit too much!
Lin Yuxin stroked her chin. She hadn't figured out a solution for her third brother yet, but what about her second brother…
Lin Yuxin suddenly laughed, looking at Zhao Hanyya. It seemed that her mother wouldn't be sad for long.
Zhao Hanyue was still feeling sad, but when she suddenly saw her daughter smiling, she was very puzzled. Why was she so happy that her two older brothers weren't getting married?
"Xin Xin! What are you laughing at?"
Qian Li also saw it. Seeing that she didn't seem upset anymore, she felt relieved and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, but Mother, don't worry. Maybe Second Brother will give you a surprise when he comes back this time?"
Lin Yuxin shook her head, not explaining why, leaving everyone in suspense.
[Of course, it's because my second brother secretly found someone he likes behind our mother's back. He'll probably bring her back to meet us this time!]
Zhao Hanyue froze upon hearing Lin Yuxin's thoughts. Was it true? Xinxin said that the second son would bring a girl back this time?
Zhao Hanyue's sad expression immediately disappeared, and she looked relaxed. As long as she could bring back a woman, even a beggar would do! She wasn't picky!
The aunts were also confused by Lin Yuxin's words, but they didn't pay much attention. What kind of surprise could that kid have?
The next morning, Lin Yuxin was woken up by Xiaodie.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Liu has arrived. He says the Emperor summons you to the palace!"
Xiaodie leaned closer and said to Lin Yuxin.
"What could he possibly need me, a pregnant woman, to come to the palace so early in the morning?"
Lin Yuxin didn't even want to open her eyes. She turned over and didn't want to move anymore. She didn't want to go, she really didn't want to go.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Liu is waiting outside. Shall I help you get dressed?"
Seeing that Lin Yuxin hadn't moved again, Xiaodie thought for a moment and then whispered something.
"Uh-huh!"
Lin Yuxin gave a vague response and then fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, Lin Yuxin was already sitting in the carriage.
When Lin Yuxin arrived at the Imperial Study, only the Emperor was inside. She went in and bowed to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, this humble woman pays her respects!"
"Rise! You are pregnant now, there's no need for such formalities."
The Emperor looked at Lin Yuxin with a kind expression and said.
He was increasingly pleased with this girl! She was exceptionally capable, not only transforming the Xia Kingdom from a food-poor state into the leading grain producer, but also gradually surpassing the Qi Kingdom.
Later, they invented that mysterious weapon and a special forces unit capable of fighting ten enemies at once, which raised the military strength of the Xia Kingdom to a new level.
The other countries paid close attention to their trip to Zhao, sending many people to Xia to gather intelligence. They learned that they had only brought about two hundred people, so Lin Yuxin's two hundred soldiers also attracted much attention.
As it turned out, they returned unscathed and even helped Qiu Jingfan seize the throne. It can be said that in addition to Li Xiaochen's abilities, those two hundred soldiers were also a force that shocked several countries!
With only two hundred or so people, how could they move freely in and out of a country without getting hurt? How could such a capability not attract the attention of other countries?
This is one of the reasons why the State of Qi sent troops this time. They were afraid of the State of Xia's capabilities. They were afraid of being surpassed by the State of Xia and that the State of Xia would become a threat to them.
So they couldn't wait any longer and wanted to join forces with several other countries to deal with them. Whether they succeeded or not, it would serve as a warning to the Xia Kingdom.
However, because of Lin Yuxin and others, Qiu Jingfan has now succeeded to the throne in Zhao, so Zhao did not agree to Qi's request to send troops.
The Sauna Kingdom did not send troops for other reasons, but the Northern Frontier intervened.
[You knew I was pregnant and still called me here so early? What an exploitative boss! Poor working class!]
Lin Yuxin pouted and didn't say anything.
The Emperor: How long has it been since I heard this girl's true feelings? Even when she's scolding him, he feels a strange sense of warmth towards her.
The Emperor looked at Lin Yuxin and thought for a moment, but didn't know how to start, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly if you have something to say!"
Lin Yuxin was even more speechless when she saw the Emperor's expression.
[I was called here so early in the morning, but I didn't say a word. Are they taking advantage of me because I have no one to back me up?! Believe me or not, I'll unleash a tiger to bite you!!]
"Originally, Li Xiaochen didn't want me to tell you this, but after thinking about it, I decided to tell you anyway, since this matter is also related to you. In fact, Qi's military expedition this time was partly because of you."
Upon hearing that the girl had a tiger, the emperor, regardless of whether it was true or not, dared not gamble. Who knew what the girl could possibly come up with to trick him? So he didn't dare keep him in suspense any longer and spoke directly.
"I?"
Lin Yuxin was dumbfounded. What?! Had she become a femme fatale who brought ruin to the country?
"Yes!"
The Emperor analyzed the war situation for Lin Yuxin one by one, as he needed her help with something else.
Lin Yuxin's heart skipped a beat when she heard that Northern Xinjiang had also gotten involved.
If the Northern Frontier intervenes and uses Gu poison extensively on the battlefield, then Li Xiaochen and his group will be in great danger, and the supplies she prepared for him did not include anything to cure the Gu poison.
Even if we use those grenades, we can't use them indiscriminately!
"Has something happened in northern Xinjiang?"
Lin Yuxin looked at the Emperor and suddenly asked a question.
There must have been a sudden problem in northern Xinjiang. How could northern Xinjiang possibly have the ability to launch an attack?
Has a new Holy Maiden been chosen in the Northern Frontier?
“It’s not the Northern Frontier, it’s Shangguan Yan. She sent a message to the Northern Frontier through the Third Prince. In addition, since Shangguan Yan was married off to the Xia Kingdom, the Northern Frontier has not been able to select a suitable Holy Maiden. They also sent me a secret letter, wanting Shangguan Yan to return and continue to be the Holy Maiden, but I did not agree.”
"Who knew they would bypass me and contact Shangguan Yan directly? In the past six months, Shangguan Yan has secretly refined another batch of Gu worms, which are said to be very powerful. Even my son has been bewitched by them."
The Emperor gets a headache just talking about this. His third son is really more trouble than he's worth. He arranged for him to marry Shangguan Yan so that he could get help from the northern frontier and so that the two of them could get to know each other better.
He might have been able to help Xiao Hao in the future, but he seemed quite smart, and who knew he'd be manipulated so quickly! How embarrassing!
Why don't you think he's worried about the third brother's life or death? How could he not be worried? That kid is cunning; he couldn't even outmaneuver Shangguan Yan. He's probably all honesty and no brains, except for one side, which he can only exploit to his own people.
