The Qiao family was busy and happy for several days. Qiao Zhongguo's face was almost crooked with laughter. In the past few days, he went to court:

Colleague: "Morning, Mr. Qiao!"

Qiao Zhongguo: "How do you know I have a big fat grandson?"

Everyone: “…”

Qiao Zhongguo had been showing off for several days, but today when he sat in the study, he remembered that he had forgotten to read Meng Guxue's letter!

He hurriedly got up, took out the envelope from the wooden box and opened it. After reading it, his expression changed slightly.

Qiao Diyi came slowly with Qiao Jiaojiao in his arms. When he saw that his father looked unhappy, he was shocked.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Qiao Zhongguo looked up when he heard the voice and saw Jiaojiao coming. He quickly hugged her and said:

"Dad just read Miss Meng's letter. The situation in Nanli Country is not optimistic."

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. "Dad, what did Miss Meng say?"

Qiao Zhongguo had a worried look on his face. "The royal family of Nanli Kingdom went hunting, and the third prince was ambushed. An arrow pierced his arm, and he was seriously injured."

"The thief committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, and nothing was found."

Qiao Jiaojiao's face changed drastically when she heard this, "Plotting? There is definitely something fishy going on here!"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded. "Miss Meng said in the letter that the arrow was actually aimed at her at the time. The Third Prince was not far away. He realized something was wrong and rode over to block it for her."

"Look—"

Qiao Zhongguo raised the letter on the table. Qiao Jiaojiao took a closer look and realized that the ink on the last few words of the letter had smudged, as if it had been soaked with tears.

"I guess Miss Meng was frightened."

Qiao Diyi also saw it and said something with a worried look on his face.

Qiao Jiaojiao was worried about Meng Guxue.

[When the marriage was arranged, Meng Guxue told Dad everything she knew, which really helped our Qiao family a lot.]

[Especially the matter of Huguo Temple. If she hadn’t mentioned it to Tzu Chi, I’m afraid this matter wouldn’t have been uncovered so quickly.]

[She traveled through time and space, so she must not like fighting and killing. The main thing is that she doesn’t have a golden finger, so I’m afraid she lives in fear every day...]

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, there was a hint of deep thought on his face. After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote a letter back to Meng Guxue, with a lot of comfort in his words.

March soon came, and Shen Yuanzhan finally received an official letter from the King of Nanli Kingdom.

The letter said that he would hold a grand celebration for his 55th birthday on September 23 and sincerely invited friendly countries to come and watch the ceremony and share the joy.

Shen Yuanzhan immediately replied, saying that he would definitely send an envoy to congratulate, and Xiao Hongda was the best person to lead the team.

Everything was being prepared in full swing until June 16, when the Empress successfully gave birth to the eldest son of the Yong Dynasty royal family. The Emperor was very pleased and the whole country celebrated.

On the day of his eldest son's third birthday, the emperor gave him the name Shen Chengzhen and announced to the world that Shen Chengzhen would be the crown prince.

Qiao Jiaojiao participated in the third-day baptism ceremony. Looking at the little prince who was still sleeping soundly in the arms of the queen, she felt filled with emotion.

The fate of all of them was finally completely changed, and the eldest grandson of the emperor who died young in the book was reincarnated again.

And this time, he is destined to be the center of attention!

After the Qiao family returned home from the baptism ceremony, they received the second letter from Meng Guxue.

This letter came five months after the first one, which made Qiao Zhongguo feel a little frightened.

During this period, he wrote to Meng Guxue twice, but Meng Guxue never replied.

If the spy had not reported that nothing serious had happened to the royal family of Nanli Kingdom, Qiao Zhongguo would have even begun to worry whether Meng Guxue had encountered some misfortune.

Qiao Jiaojiao sat in Qiao Zhongguo's arms. The father and daughter opened the letter, and their faces changed drastically after reading it!

Meng Guxue said in the letter that she and Baili Chengyou were in a very difficult situation during this period.

Baili Chengyou's biological mother, the wife of the successor to the throne, was slandered for having an affair with the second prince, and this matter caused a sensation in Kyoto.

The wife of the successor king could not bear the humiliation and was also worried about implicating her son, so she chose to commit suicide to show her integrity. In the end, she was barely rescued, but fell into a coma and has not woken up since.

Baili Chengyou's mentality collapsed and he almost lost his mind. He impulsively confronted the king in person and was confined to his house for a month.

These days, Meng Guxue has to take care of the wife of the successor state lord, comfort Baili Chengyou, and be on guard against assassinations. She is exhausted.

At the end of the letter, Meng Guxue mentioned the Nanli King's Christmas in September and asked cautiously:

"Will Master Qiao come by then?"

Qiao Jiaojiao could tell from Meng Guxue's words that she trusted and relied on her father.

[It is obvious that Meng Guxue really wants Daddy to go to Nanli Country, but she is worried that Daddy will be in danger, so she dare not say it out loud.]

[Bai Li Cheng You's biological mother was slandered for having an affair with the Second Prince. The biggest beneficiary of this incident is none other than the First Prince, so Shen Yuanbai must have been behind this! ]

[It stands to reason that Baili Chengyou would not be so vulnerable, but it is obvious that Shen Yuanbai knows how to exploit people's weaknesses.]

[And the inside story must be more complicated than what Meng Guxue wrote, otherwise it would be impossible to force the wife of the king to die to prove herself. ]

[Alas, I didn't expect Meng Guxue to have such a hard time. I almost wanted to fly directly to Nanli Country to help her! ]

When Qiao Zhongguo heard Jiaojiao's words, the plan that had been lingering in his mind since January finally came true.

He suddenly lowered his head and said to Jiaojiao in a gentle voice: "Jiaojiao, do you want to go to Nanli Country to play?"

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard this, her eyes widened slightly, "Dad, what do you mean——"

Qiao Zhongguo smiled and nodded, "When Miss Meng decided to help our Qiao family, she did not hesitate or be stingy at all."

"Dad thinks that now is the time when she needs help the most. We can't just stand by and watch."

"Moreover, the selection of the leader of Nanli Kingdom is also crucial to the relationship between our two countries. We have to help Baili Chengyou out of both reason and emotion!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately stretched out her hands and shouted, "Great! Jiaojiao is going! Jiaojiao can also try to wake up Baili Chengyou's mother!"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Jiaojiao's head, feeling soft in his heart.

"Daddy knows that Jiaojiao is the kindest child. Let Daddy talk to His Majesty about this matter."

That afternoon, Qiao Zhongguo took Xiao Hongda with him to the palace to ask for an audience.

When Shen Yuanzhan heard that his two generals were coming at the same time, he was shocked and quickly left his son behind to go to the imperial study to meet them.

After Qiao Zhongguo bowed respectfully, the first thing he said was, "Your Majesty, I would like to lead the delegation to Nanli Kingdom."

Shen Yuanzhan raised his eyebrows curiously when he heard this. "It's fine if Qiao Aiqing wants to go, but is there any special reason?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded and handed over Meng Guxue's handwritten letter.
