Chapter 281 Concubine Yao is pregnant

Isn’t it said that His Majesty has been very fond of Concubine Yao recently?

Why did you shut her up?

Lu Xingwan naturally did not fall behind.

[Tsk tsk tsk, didn't they say that Concubine Yao is very favored by the emperor recently? The emperor is willing to lock her up. 】

[But she deserves it. Who made her have nothing to do all day? She even dares to find fault with her mother. ]

[Now even the Queen has to be polite to my mother, she is really arrogant. ]

The Emperor of Great Chu was not in a good mood to begin with, but after hearing what Lu Xingwan said, he suppressed his anger.

He couldn't help but glance at Song Qingyan again.

What she wanted was for everyone in the palace to respect her. She couldn't give her the position of empress, but if she couldn't even give her the real power, that would really disappoint Qingya.

When the maid heard that the Great Chu Emperor was angry, she kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is really that Concubine Yao is not feeling well..."

"If you feel unwell, go find the imperial physician!" The Emperor of Great Chu no longer had any patience.

He was really disgusted that she pretended to be sick in the palace after only being under house arrest for one day.

"I have consulted the imperial physician, and he said that the queen is pregnant." The maid did not dare to raise her head, but just knelt on the ground and finished her words.

【Oh, this child came just in time. 】

[You have saved Concubine Yao's life! Otherwise, you would have been confined for two days! Now that you are pregnant, your father will definitely let you out.]

[Mother, look, I've told you long ago that you have to learn to be humiliated in front of your father. Look at Concubine Yao.]

As the Great Chu Emperor listened, his face became increasingly gloomy, and he felt as if he was in a difficult situation.

Lu Xingwan didn't care about his expression at all and continued to complain.

[Father, look, since Consort De passed away, there have been more and more children in the harem.]

[Noble Lady Le is also pregnant. When the Empress was still Concubine Ning, she was also pregnant, although she accidentally miscarried later.]

[Now even Concubine Yao is pregnant. ]

Song Qingyan felt that Lu Xingwan was simply jumping back and forth on the bottom line of the Great Chu Emperor.

Fortunately, His Majesty couldn't hear her. She really couldn't imagine how angry His Majesty would be if he could hear what Wanwan said.

The Emperor of Great Chu was indeed angry, but he could not vent his anger on Wanwan, and naturally he could not involve Song Qingyan and Concubine Wen.

Among those present, the only one who could withstand the wrath of the Emperor of Chu was the little girl, Concubine Yao.

"If she's pregnant, just stay in the palace and take care of her! Do you want me to serve her personally?" After saying this, the Emperor of Great Chu walked forward holding Lu Xingwan. Song Qingyan and Concubine Wen naturally followed in a hurry.

Only the little maidservant beside Concubine Yao was left, knocking her head repeatedly on the ground: "I dare not, I dare not."

Only then did Lu Xingwan realize that he seemed to have been wrong.

It seems that Concubine Yao's child came at the wrong time.

At the same time, in the western camp, Song Qingqi was sitting with Shen Xiao, discussing Helian Hengxin's plan to win them over.

Shen Xiao paused and said, "Why didn't you call the young master as well?"

In his eyes, Song Zhuo is the son of the Song family after all, and will definitely be the successor to Marquis Dingguo in the future, so Song Qingqi should put more effort into cultivating him.

Song Qingqi just shook his head: "He is just a guard, what are you calling him to do?"

"I see that he is in a very irritable mood now. He should be given more experience."

Shen Xiao nodded, and in his heart he agreed with Song Qingqi's approach. Song Zhuo's temperament was indeed not very stable, and he was still far from being able to take over the job of Lord Hou.

Song Qingqi then pushed the memorial in front of him to Shen Xiao: "Take a look."

Shen Xiao picked up the memorial in confusion, only to find that it was the memorial written by the Marquis to His Majesty. The memorial was simple, only saying that the two cities of Yuefeng Kingdom had been captured before, and now things were gradually getting on the right track. The soldiers of the Western Camp also never forgot to train and were ready to go at any time.

Finally, he mentioned that Helian Hengxin was now busy with the chaos in Yuefeng and had no time to care about the Great Chu Kingdom.

After reading it, Shen Xiao looked up at Song Qingqi. He felt that the last sentence was quite abrupt.

Just as he looked up at Song Qingqi in confusion, Song Qingqi pushed a secret letter in front of him in front of Shen Xiao, motioning him to open it and take a look.

Shen Xiao did not refuse and unfolded the letter.

However, this letter stated in detail that Helian Hengxin had made an appointment with Song Qingqi some time ago, and even promised him the title of duke, hoping to win over the Marquis Dingguo.

However, Song Qingqi had already carried out his original plan and showed a hesitant look in front of Helian Hengxin.

This letter was written by Song Qingqi to the prince, and he was asking the prince about his next move.

Shen Xiao finally understood that this secret letter was the key point.

Seeing that Shen Xiao understood everything, Song Qingqi continued, "This memorial is made public, and its purpose is to let Helian Hengxin see it."

After that, he pointed to the secret letter in Shen Xiao's hand and said, "This secret letter was sent together with the memorial to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Once Helian Hengxin finds this memorial, he will know that I did not tell Your Majesty about his meeting with me, and he will have even greater expectations of me."

"As for the next step, we still have to wait for the reply from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shen Xiao nodded, and couldn't help but admire the old marquis in his heart.

No wonder when the old marquis recommended you to be the general of the Western Army, he said that you have been familiar with military books since childhood and are the most suitable person for this position.

After following the old marquis for these days, he realized that the old marquis' choice was indeed correct.

Just as Song Qingqi put the letter away, Song Zhuo rushed in and looked at his father angrily: "Father..."

But he changed his words when he was about to speak: "General, I led my troops to patrol the surrounding area, but I saw that Helian Renxin was training his troops at the junction of our two armies. This is really too much!"

"I have come to ask for permission to lead a small team to drive them away!"

Although Song Zhuo has a hot temper, he has one advantage: he obeys military orders.

Now that things had happened, he knew he had to come back and ask the general for instructions.

Shen Xiao also had some admiration for him, but the agreement between the Marquis and Helian Renxin was originally a gentleman's agreement, so why would they care about the place where he trained his troops.

Just as he was about to explain, Lord Hou spoke.

"Take a small team with you and tell Helian Renxin that if they can't choose a good place for their martial arts training, we will choose it for them."

Song Zhuo was naturally happy and turned around to inspect the troops.

"Marquis, doesn't Helian Renxin have a gentleman's agreement with the old marquis?" Shen Xiao asked curiously.

"What gentleman or not," Song Qingqi did not take Helian Renxin to heart, "If he really wants to abide by this gentleman's agreement, he should honestly train his troops within their range."
