Chapter 400 Don’t you want to be the Crown Princess?
Nalan Zhu'er finally gave birth to a son, and both mother and child were safe.
A calm person like Cen Jue was as happy as a child.
He kissed Nalan Zhu'er's forehead excitedly, "Zhu'er, thank you."
Since childhood, Cen Jue had a very difficult life in the Cen family because he was a bastard's son. Later, his only sister who protected him died unexpectedly not long after she got married.
He was doing it to avenge his sister, and this belief kept him going until he got through it.
Finally, after meeting Nalan Zhuer, the sky, which had been dark for many years, slowly began to show color.
And now, Zhu'er has worked so hard to give birth to a child for him, a child who is related by blood to both of them.
How could he not be excited, how could he not be happy?
Seeing Cen Jue was about to cry with joy, Nalan Zhuer, who was a little disappointed to have a son, was also infected by his emotions.
A hint of shyness flashed across her face. "Be careful, there are others here."
Princess Jiamin smiled beside her, "It's okay, you can just pretend we don't exist."
It was already late at night and everyone was still waiting here. Nalan Zhu'er and Cen Jue were very moved and arranged for everyone to rest in the guest rooms.
Lin Qingning: "The prince and I will go back first. There is a carriage waiting for us. You will definitely have a lot of things to do in your mansion today, so don't worry about us."
Jiamin also nodded.
Wei Shuhe said, "I'll stay. I've already arranged everything for the child. If Zhu'er is feeling unwell, I can go over to see her in time."
When Nalan Zhuer heard what they said, her eyes suddenly turned red and she was about to cry again.
Chen Ya was beside her and quickly pressed a handkerchief against her eyes. "Okay, okay, you just gave birth to a child. You can't cry. It will hurt your eyes."
Lin Qingning also said: "Go and rest quickly."
In fact, Nalan Zhu'er was extremely tired and her body was in pain. She looked at her son one last time before falling into a deep sleep.
Chen Ya was still busy with follow-up matters, but she still personally sent Lin Qingning and others to the gate.
Over there, the King of Northern Frontier was talking to Qin Jingyu at the gate.
Qin Jingyu raised his head and saw Lin Qingning walking towards him. He naturally reached out and held her hand.
"Let's go home."
"Um."
After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Qingning and Qin Jingyu helped each other into the carriage. As soon as the curtain was lowered, she felt sleepy.
Qin Jingyu pulled her and let her lean on his shoulder. "If you are sleepy, take a nap. I will call you when we get to the East Palace."
Lin Qingning hummed and leaned on his shoulder.
Although her eyes were closed, she still raised the corners of her mouth slightly and whispered: "Jing Yu, I'm very happy. We sisters have experienced a lot of bad things, but in the future, we will all get better and better!"
Qin Jingyu: "Yeah."
Lin Qingning put her face against his chest and rubbed it intimately. "Among the few of us, I have the highest status. So, I have to learn more and practice more in the future, and work hard to make myself better."
"This way, when they get into trouble in the future, I can protect them."
Qin Jingyu kissed her hair gently, "You are just busy protecting others."
Lin Qingning raised her head, feeling a little sleepy, her eyes narrowed and filled with mist.
She smiled and said, "Because you protect me."
Qin Jingyu rarely saw her so happy and relaxed, and his heart softened.
He couldn't help but kissed the corner of her mouth again, and said solemnly: "Okay, go and protect whoever you want to protect, and I will always stand behind you."
Lin Qingning fell asleep in Qin Jingyu's arms as she wished.
Later, she didn't know how she got back to the East Palace or how she got off the carriage.
She didn't even know who helped her change clothes, remove makeup and wash herself at night.
When she slept until dawn, there was no one around her. Lin Qingning immediately called Banxia to help her comb her hair and change her clothes.
Lin Qingning: "When I came back last night, you were helping me wash up, and your movements were so gentle that I didn't even wake up."
Banxia looked confused, "Ah, it's not me. When we came back last night, you didn't wake up, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept carrying you back. He also asked the servants to bring warm water up, and then he asked the servants to go down."
"Before I left, I saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who helped you remove your makeup and wash up."
Lin Qingning: “…”
It feels a bit surprising, but also expected.
She just felt her heart filled with tenderness.
Coming back so late yesterday and having to attend the morning court early this morning, Lin Qingning felt that Jing Yu was working too hard. After much thought, she decided to make some medicinal dishes herself.
To nourish Jingyu’s body.
**
During the morning court today, the King of Northern Frontier was dozing off.
In the end, he was almost stabbed by the tablet in his own hand. Emperor Minghe couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to say: "Let's stop here for today's meeting."
Because a battle with Xiliang is imminent.
Therefore, there is a lot of content in the daily meetings.
Especially now that it is midsummer, we must once again pay attention to problems such as floods in the south.
However, Emperor Minghe sympathized with the King of Northern Frontier, knowing that he had a new grandson in his palace last night and had not had a good rest.
So the morning court session ended early.
The King of Northern Frontier yawned and followed Qin Jingyu.
"Prince, you returned to the East Palace even later yesterday, right? You didn't sleep for long, aren't you sleepy?"
What do you mean by not slept for long?
In fact, Qin Jingyu hardly slept at all.
After they returned to the East Palace yesterday, he helped Qing Ning remove her makeup, change clothes, wash and wipe herself, but in the end she didn't wake up and he got angry.
There is no way.
After letting Qing Ning go to bed, he went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.
After I came back, I hadn't been lying down for long while holding Qing Ning before it was almost dawn and I had to get up and prepare to attend the morning court.
Of course, Qin Jingyu would not tell anyone about what happened between him and Qing Ning in the boudoir. Instead, he reached out and patted the King of Beijiang on the shoulder.
"Maybe you're old."
King of Northern Frontier: “…”
How come this kid is still so sharp-tongued after becoming the crown prince?
The King of Northern Frontier saw that he was not heading towards the East Palace, and asked in confusion: "Aren't you going back to rest?"
Qin Jingyu: "I feel very inspired by what we talked about in your house yesterday. I plan to talk to my father about it."
When the war was mentioned, the King of Northern Frontier was no longer sleepy.
He immediately said, "I'll go with you!"
Qin Jingyu: "Aren't you sleepy?"
King of Northern Frontier: "Just ask someone to bring me a pot of strong tea later."
Qin Jingyu: “…”
More than an hour later, Qin Jingyu came out of the imperial study. He returned to the East Palace and heard that the Crown Princess had just woken up for a while and went to accompany the children.
Qin Jingyu stayed in the front yard to handle some government affairs. He first called Su Ziyuan and others to ask if there was anything happening recently.
Su Ziyuan handed over a letter.
"Your Highness, this is the reply from Qianji Pavilion. They have captured Master Qingyun and are sending him to the capital of Da Chu."
Qin Jingyu took the letter, read it, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face.
"This is a very good thing."
I have learned a lot about Xiliang from Xu Mu before, and this True Man Qingyun will know even more.
After all, when fighting a war, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
There is still one pill of the truth that Doctor Bai managed to prepare last time.
It was reserved for True Man Qingyun.
I just don’t know if Master Qingyun can figure out that there is such a medicine waiting for him?
True Man Qingyun couldn’t figure it out.
Not only were his hands and feet tied, but the tortoise shells, copper coins, compasses and other things on his body were also taken away.
The Taoist robes on Master Qingyun were replaced with coarse cloth clothes, and his hair accessories were also changed. Now he looks like a fair-faced gentleman.
True Man Qingyun looked at the man in the crescent-shaped white robe sitting next to him and sighed:
"As for your Qianji Pavilion Master coming in person?"
The person sitting next to him was Bai Lansheng.
Bai Lansheng nodded. "That's right. You have to know how many people I have mobilized to look for you in the past few months. You have wasted a lot of my time and manpower."
True Man Qingyun: "But who asked you to chase me? Is this little bit of silver all you need from Qianji Pavilion?"
Bai Lansheng: "It's not just about the money. The conditions offered by the other party are very tempting. You know, we in Qianji Pavilion are businessmen. As long as it's suitable, we will do this business."
True Man Qingyun said angrily: "You speak so nicely, but you work so diligently just for the Crown Princess!"
Bai Lansheng's hand holding the teacup paused slightly.
True Man Qingyun saw hope, and he immediately said, "Do you think you have hidden it well? Bai Lansheng, I know that you have always liked Crown Princess Lin Qingning, right?"
"When she was still Gu Qingning, you fell in love with her at first sight. Later, you did many things to treat her well silently."
"But she doesn't know. Is it worth it for you?"
Bai Lansheng slowly finished the remaining half cup of tea. He said calmly, "If I think something is worthwhile, it is worthwhile. How can you, a Taoist priest, understand this?"
True Man Qingyun choked, but he really didn't want to be sent to the capital of Da Chu.
Because once he was sent there, he would have no chance of survival.
Ever since he learned that something had happened to Empress Dowager Cui, he knew that the murder of Empress Yuan must have been exposed.
Otherwise, Emperor Minghe would have no reason to let the Empress Dowager die.
The Queen Mother was killed. If he was sent to the Qin father and son, wouldn't he be tortured to death?
Because he had foreseen that his ending would not be good, he had been hiding from place to place for the past few months.
But who would have thought that he would still be found by the people from Qianji Pavilion!
True Man Qingyun has a strong desire to survive and he does not want to give up now, so he wants to seek an opportunity from Bai Lansheng.
And Bai Lansheng has special thoughts about the Crown Princess, which is the best opportunity!
True Man Qingyun said:
"Bai Lansheng, it was obviously you who knew Lin Qingning first, and it was obvious that you have always been very nice to her."
"Are you willing to just watch her marry someone else and get angry?"
"Only I can help you. I have a way to make Lin Qingning fall in love with you and be with you. I just hope you can let me go and seek refuge in Xiliang in the future."
"Bai Lansheng, don't you want to be the Crown Princess..."
