Chapter 332: The New Emperor x The Poor Princess of the Former Dynasty 15

After June, the weather became hotter. Aunt Qiao had been pregnant for two months, but she did not intend to make it public. Now she did not have any symptoms of pregnancy, such as morning sickness, fatigue, and nausea. Instead, her appetite gradually increased and she gained a little weight.

This made Jun Molin very happy, and he rewarded the people in the kitchen and Guanghua Palace with many gifts.

However, Caiying and Cailian, who served Aunt Qiao personally, knew that their Empress was probably pregnant. "Your Majesty, are you really not going to tell the Emperor? I'm afraid someone with ill intentions will come to harm you. Wouldn't it be better to have the Emperor's protection?"

Aunt Qiao was lying on the couch, holding her forehead, and smiled slightly, "You two think too simply. Just because I'm safe now doesn't mean there are no spies around me."

"If I tell the Emperor now that I am pregnant with his child, given his personality, he will definitely make it known to everyone, and then I will be in danger."

"Wait a little longer. The Emperor said that General Sima is almost under his control. It won't be long before there is no one who objects to me becoming the Empress. It won't be too late to talk about it then."

"This..." Caiying and Cailian looked at each other and could only close their mouths helplessly.

"Nothing is late?" Jun Molin only heard the last few words uttered by Aunt Qiao when he walked in, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

Without blushing or panting, Aunt Qiao glanced at Jun Molin and said, "I feel that I have gained a lot of weight. I think it won't be too late to eat less for a while."

Caiying and Cailian's mouths twitched slightly, and they realized that their queen was really good and could tell lies without changing her expression.

The key point is that Jun Molin actually believed it. He walked over to Qiao Jinjin and sat down, hugged her into his arms, touched her slightly fleshy belly and said, "This is good. You were too thin before."

"By the way, I have found out what General Sima did secretly."

After saying that, he turned to the servants of Guanghua Palace and ordered, "Protect your queen during this period. General Sima has planted a lot of people in the palace. I am afraid they will harm the queen."

"Yes, I obey your command."

Qiao Jinjin raised her eyebrows and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, General Sima really hates me to the core. I really don't know how I have offended General Sima."

Jun Molin scratched Qiao Jinjin's nose and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with you. He hated your father. Now that your father is gone, he has transferred his hatred to you."

Aunt Qiao rolled her eyes speechlessly. She was so unlucky and was wrongly accused.

A distinguished guest came to the general's mansion, and he was indeed a distinguished guest to the current General Sima.

Looking at the dignified Xu Qingzhou, General Sima showed an unimaginable enthusiasm. "Mr. Xu, please take a seat quickly."

Xu Qingzhou was surprised by General Sima's enthusiasm, but he understood it when he thought about General Sima's current situation.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu has anything important to tell me that has brought him here to visit me?" General Sima was well aware of the former prime minister's son's obsession with the eldest princess, and he could also guess the purpose of Xu Qingzhou's visit to him, but he just wanted to ask even though he knew the answer.

Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I think General Sima should have guessed it."

"Yes, I am here to cooperate with General Sima."

"I want to take the princess away"

General Sima was still surprised by Xu Qingzhou's directness. "As expected of the former prime minister's son, he is so straightforward."

"To be honest, I really want to help you, but my current situation is really difficult."

Xu Qingzhou drank his tea calmly. After a long while, when General Sima was a little unsure, he spoke, "General Sima, you underestimate yourself. I know General Sima's ability very well."

"Hahahahahahaha" General Sima was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed heartily. "I just like dealing with smart people. Now that you've come to this, there's no reason for me to disagree."

General Sima and Xu Qingzhou discussed for a long time in the study and dismissed the servants. No one knew what their next plan was.

During the morning court session that day, General Sima took off his general's hat, knelt on the ground, raised the hat above his head, and said in a voice full of self-blame, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I am really not worthy of being a general of our Da'an anymore."

Jun Molin pursed his lips tightly. According to General Sima's temperament, it was impossible for him to resign. Jun Molin knew that General Sima had new plans after just a little thought.

"Oh? Why didn't I know that General Sima was guilty? How can our Da'an be without you, General?"

General Sima lowered his head, a gleam in his eyes, and said, "I opposed the previous princess to be the empress some time ago. Now I know I was wrong. I did many things that were not good for the emperor and the empress before. Now I really don't have the face to face the emperor."

Jun Molin's lips curled up slightly, he was fed up with General Sima's acting. "General, you should keep your hat on and don't mention resignation anymore. If you really want to atone for your sins, you might as well rest at home for a while. As for the military token, you can give it to someone you trust."

Jun Molin's answer was different from what General Sima had expected. He thought Jun Molin would raise his hands in approval if he resigned. He originally wanted to retreat in order to advance, but he didn't expect...

"Your Majesty, I will stay indoors for the time being and reflect on my mistakes. I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health."

"If you have a starting point, you will withdraw from the court if nothing happens."

General Sima, who left the court, did not show any dissatisfaction because he did not achieve the expected results. Instead, he curled the corners of his lips.

In short, his purpose was to leave the court for a while. During this period, he had other arrangements and was preparing to leave the capital to handle an important matter.

What happened in the court soon reached Jin Jin Qiao's ears, as if she was deliberately informed. It seemed that it was just as she thought, there were quite a few spies in the palace.

"Your Majesty, it is a good thing that General Sima left the court, so as to avoid making the emperor angry again in the court."

Jinjin Qiao snorted and laughed, "General Sima has other plans. He let me know on purpose just to tell me and the emperor that he will stay in the general's mansion obediently for the time being."

"If my guess is correct, General Sima will make a big move this time."

Jun Molin strode into Guanghua Palace and said in agreement, "Jin-Jin is right. He is indeed going to make a big move."
