Chapter 422: Regent of the Retired Emperor



As her belly grew bigger, Zhao Qingrui began to feel uncomfortable and had more pregnancy reactions.

In addition, the weather was getting warmer and there were a lot of things going on in the court, so Zhao Qingrui became more and more irritable.

Whose pregnancy is so hard? It's so difficult.

However, she has to persevere and do all these things herself.

For Zhao Qingrui, the days after she became pregnant felt like years.

Zhao Qingrui never appears in public, which has caused some trouble and a lot of messy news outside.

Zhao Qingrui felt very restless when listening to Shang Lian report these things every day.

"How far is the rest of the journey? How long will it take us to get back to Xianyang?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian.

"Your Majesty, at the current speed, it will take more than five months to return to Xianyang." Shang Lian said seriously. This was because after Zhao Qingrui became pregnant, many steps were streamlined during the tour and the calculation was made.

If we follow the original plan, it will take at least half a year.

Zhao Qingrui rubbed her brows. If she had known earlier when planning the cruise, she would not have planned such a long route. Because of her pregnancy, this cruise would not actually have much effect.

"Let's keep moving at this speed." Feeling the scorching sunlight shining in from the window, Zhao Qingrui sighed. She was not afraid of the high temperature, but the people in the convoy were just ordinary people.

I just hope this child won’t be born outside. It’s already three months old. Zhao Qingrui touched her belly and it’s almost as if someone else is pregnant for several months.

Seeing the worry between Zhao Qingrui's brows, Shang Lian didn't know what to say. She naturally knew what His Majesty was worried about.

However, the court cannot do without His Majesty, and she doesn't know what to do.

The First Emperor is not in the Qin Dynasty now. If he were still here, he would be able to come out and take charge of the situation at this time.

There is no point in thinking so much, and there is no way to change it at the moment.

When Ying Zheng contacted his daughter, he also felt her impetuousness.

In the past, many women in the harem had become pregnant, but he had never taken such matters to heart. He only cared about who gave birth to his child.

After having more children, he cared even less about those things. After all, he had enough sons and daughters, and he didn't have to worry about any child dying and leaving the Qin Dynasty without a successor.

"Father, why don't you come back early? The Qin Dynasty needs you." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly. If he came back, she could have more rest.

"That's fine. It's a little inconvenient for you to walk now. It will definitely be more difficult in a few days. I am also worried about you." After two seconds of silence, Ying Zheng decided not to hang out outside. His daughter is more important.

Moreover, he also wanted to be the first to see his two grandchildren when they were born.

The army of the Maurya Empire posed no challenge to the Qin Dynasty, and he no longer had the same interest as he had at the beginning.

Being invincible is so lonely.

"Father, are you really coming back?" Zhao Qingrui asked in surprise.

"Yeah, the army here is too weak, there is no challenge, and it's too boring." Ying Zheng sighed unhappily. Fighting with these people is worse than fighting with those huge sharks on the sea.

"That's really not challenging." Zhao Qingrui laughed when he thought of the situation of the Qin army. The soldiers were all practicing physical training methods, although it was only the basic version. There were also countless food supplies, so the trained army was naturally invincible.

Coupled with those hot weapons, the outcome of the battle between the two sides was doomed from the beginning.

Now that she heard that Ying Zheng was coming back, Zhao Qingrui was still very happy.

With the emperor around, he is familiar with all kinds of government affairs, so nothing will go wrong.

Ying Zheng was very proactive. After making the decision, he called the children and Meng Yang and others over the next day and told them that he was going back.

"My younger sister's situation is special, and it is indeed necessary for my father to go back and take charge of the situation." Yin Man instantly understood the current situation.

"Well, the Maurya Empire here poses no threat. You can discuss and decide what to do." Ying Zheng looked at the children and the rising generals. These people were capable of standing on their own. It didn't matter whether he was here or not.

Yin Man's words made the generals present feel nervous. What happened to His Majesty?

They wanted to ask something, but after being glanced at by Ying Zheng, they swallowed the questions that were on the tip of their tongues. The First Emperor did not allow them to ask any more questions.

All right, then don't ask. Your Majesty's situation must be confidential. If more people know about it, the danger will definitely increase.

Looking at their expressions, Ying Zheng knew that they had imagined a lot of things.

But I didn't care much about it. When the two little ones were born, I would announce it to the world and they would know about it.

The Qin Empire has an heir, which is a good thing for the entire Qin Empire.

After talking to them, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to pack up his things, then board a big ship and head towards Daqin.

Steamships are very fast, much faster than other large ships. In addition, many merchants have gone out to sea to do business in recent years, and they have also discovered some rules to avoid risks at sea.

Ying Zheng only stayed at sea for about twenty days before arriving in Lingnan of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Qingrui had already asked people to wait there.

He also issued an edict to the court, stating that after the First Emperor returned to Xianyang due to poor health, the government affairs would be managed by the retired emperor, and all decisions in the court would be made by the retired emperor.

The six ministers and the cabinet members who received the order stared at each other in amazement. "Is His Majesty in poor health? This is a serious matter."
