Chapter 1434 Requesting for Permission

In the capital, when Rongchuan got into trouble this time, Zhou Shuren did not hide it from his wife. He asked Jinyan to send the message back home as soon as he left the palace, and left Jinyan at home. If there was anything wrong with his wife, Jinyan would inform him immediately.

At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the report of the rumor. His wife had a premonition, and after analyzing the hints, she was mentally prepared. Now Rongchuan and his wife were both safe. His wife just looked unwell, and she did not call a doctor.

Zhou Shuren signaled to let the secret go out, as he had to continue his work. There was already a standoff in the northeast, and war could break out at any time. The entire Ministry of Revenue was on high alert.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan's complexion had returned to normal. There was no point in her being anxious now.

Li and the others were also surprised. Li comforted them, "Rongchuan and Xuehan will definitely return to Beijing safely. Don't worry too much, mother."

Among the daughters-in-law, only Li could not see the situation clearly. Zhao and Su Xuan had serious expressions on their faces, and they obviously thought of Rongchuan and Xuehan's situation. The journey back to Beijing would not be easy.

Zhulan looked at her daughters-in-law and said, "The war has already started in the Northeast. The future will be unstable. You should take good care of the servants in each room and tell the children not to go out on the street unless necessary."

Who knows if he will create chaos in the capital and even try to assassinate Rong Chuan? We have to be on guard. If we are really affected by the chaos, it will be purely our own bad luck.

The Li family members thought, "Yes."

Li was the oldest among the daughters-in-law. She and Zhao had experienced the war. Su Xuan was born at the tail end of the war and knew nothing at the time, so she had no memory of the war.

The Li and Zhao families were different; they knew the dangers of war.

Li then asked, "He Shu and Wu Ning are in the northeast, and I don't know how they are doing."

Zhao continued, "I don't know if it will affect my hometown."

Zhulan is not worried about the war in the northeast. She knows as much as Shuren knows about the emperor's moves. The emperor has made a big plan. Although there have been unexpected natural disasters, there is absolute military force. Military force determines success or failure, and no one can escape the bombardment of cannons.

Zhu Lan said: "You have to believe in the strength of the country. They will pay the price for actively provoking the war."

Zhulan's tone was calm and firm, which gave confidence to the daughters-in-law. The strength of the imperial court was obvious to all, and the Li family members gradually calmed down.

Inside the palace, the Emperor looked at Prince Liang and asked, "Do you know the condition of your body?"

The palace coup had injured him badly. Even after he had recovered, Prince Liang's body was broken. He would feel uncomfortable even in the wind or rain. How could he lead troops to fight in this state?

Prince Liang knelt straight, "Father, I know my son's physical condition."

The retired emperor thought to himself that the emperor was the one who knew the Prince of Liang's physical condition best. Even he, as his father, did not know as well as the emperor. He sighed in his heart, wondering why the Prince of Liang took such a risk. How could he not know?

King Liang continued, "The royal family needs someone to lead the troops. Originally, the King of Qin was the most suitable, but he was injured, so I asked for your permission first. Your son asks for your father's consent."

When he heard that the Prince of Qin was injured, he knew that it was an opportunity for the Prince of Liang's Mansion. If they missed this opportunity, once something happened to the Queen, the Prince of Liang's Mansion could only passively bear the Emperor's hatred.

He had calculated everything, but he had not expected that the queen would be pregnant again. Fortunately, there was still a chance.

The fact that the Emperor did not agree at the morning court today meant that he had agreed to his request. He knew his elder brother too well, so he took the initiative to find his father. It was his own fault if something went wrong because he took the initiative to ask for battle, and the Emperor did not force him to lead the troops.

The emperor signaled to Prince Liang to get up, but Prince Liang did not move. The father and son looked at each other, and the emperor closed his eyes. "You won't listen to anything I say now."

The eldest son has already sat firmly on the throne and has shown his ambitious fangs. As for the other sons, the Prince of Qi is considered good, the Prince of Chu has been like this for his whole life, and the Prince of Liang is the only one who seems to be confining himself. Even in this situation, the Prince of Liang is still afraid of being held accountable. As a father, the Prince of Liang takes risks for the sake of his offspring.

The emperor finally waved his hand and said, "You can go."

King Liang kowtowed heavily, then turned around and staggered away.

The retired emperor looked at his sons' backs. All his sons were good and any one of them could inherit the country, but there was only one throne.

Zhou Family: The news of the assassination of King Qin spread quickly in the capital. Xuemei returned to her parents' home after hearing the news. She felt relieved to know that her sister was fine.

Xuemei asked anxiously, "Mom, will the war in the northeast reach Zhoujia Village?"

Zhu Lan consoled him, "We are still stationing troops. If a large-scale war breaks out, if you are worried, you can let Jiang Miao and his wife return to the capital."

Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, she could let her daughter return to the capital.

Zhulan said, "You should take care of your health."

The eldest lady has lost a lot of weight this year.

Xuemei agreed, "I'll drink more soup to replenish my body."

Zhulan thought of her grandson Jiang Du, "Jiang Du just got married, so don't force the young couple to have children."

Xuemei smiled and said, "I didn't force them to have a child. Children are destiny, and they will come naturally when destiny arrives. My mother-in-law was a little anxious and mentioned it a few times. I talked to her about it, but she never mentioned it again."

Zhulan, "I can understand your mother-in-law's anxiety."

Jiang Du got married late, so he was anxious to have a grandson.

Temple, Rongchuan helped his wife walk around in the temple. They left the mountain village and went to the temple to continue recuperating.

Rongchuan looked at his wife's belly and said, "I'm sorry for both you and the child."

He felt sad to see people having to leave the mountain village just when they were able to get out of the fields, but he had to leave for the sake of safety.

Xue Han couldn't walk anymore after a few steps and gestured to go back, "I should be the one to apologize. If I wasn't a burden, you could return to Beijing sooner."

"You can't say that. We are one. Don't ask me if I am a burden or not. The situation is already like this. It doesn't make much difference if I go home earlier or later."

He was seriously injured and could no longer lead troops to fight. He and his wife just wanted to return to Beijing safely.

Xue Han saw her husband in bandages. He didn't dare to use his arms and could only support her with one hand. She refused. He just looked at her. She knew in her heart that she scared her husband this time lying in a pool of blood. He would not let go of her hand wherever he went. He would not feel at ease unless his hand touched her.

Xue Han asked, "How long will we stay in the temple?"

Rongchuan said: "At least three days."

My wife's fetal position is still unstable, and his injuries require rest. He can walk around thanks to his young age and good recovery ability, but his wounds are not much better.

Xue Han touched her belly and asked, "Is there any danger?"

Rong Chuan shook his head, "This is a temple controlled by assassins, it's relatively safe here."

Xue Han was stunned for a moment, "There are assassins here too?"

Rong Chuan curled his lips and said, "Yes, temples are also good places to collect information."

Some ladies love to worship Buddha and often ask the Master some questions. A lot of information can be obtained from the conversations.

Xue Han blinked her eyes, "Doesn't this mean that one is not sincere in becoming a monk?"

Rongchuan, "Just collecting information. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We should go back and take medicine."
