Zhao Shun came to the side hall, and first saluted Jiang Chuo with fists: "I have seen the empress."

"Cousin Shun, did the empress dowager agree to take your sister-in-law away?" Jiang Chuo asked.

"Well, I agreed." Zhao Shun said.

"That's good, then I'll go first." Jiang Chuo said.

"Congratulations to the empress." Shen Qinglan stood up and saluted.

Jiang Chuo looked back at her and smiled, "Sister-in-law, take care of yourself."

"Well, thank you for your concern, ma'am."

After Jiang Chuo left, Zhao Shun hurriedly walked to Shen Qinglan's side, frowned and asked, "Why do you look so bad?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't had a good rest." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun took Shen Qinglan's hand, and at this moment a palace official entered the door and replied: "My lord, my concubine, the empress dowager has invited the imperial physician to check her pulse."

"Let him in." Zhao Shun said.

"Yes."

The palace man invited the imperial physician in, and the imperial physician took Shen Qinglan's pulse and said, "Go back to the prince, the fetal image of the princess is fine, but her body is a little weak, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"Thank you, the imperial physician." Shen Qinglan said.

"Princess is polite, this is what lower officials should do." The imperial physician said.

"Okay, you go down first." Zhao Shun said.

"Yes."

After the imperial physician left, Zhao Shun sat down beside Shen Qinglan.

"Sisi, how do you feel?" Zhao Shun asked.

"I'm really fine, my lord, let's go back to the mansion." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, let's go home."

On the way back home, Shen Qinglan kept leaning on Zhao Shun's shoulder.Zhao Shun held her in his arms, holding her hand with the other.

"My lord, we have completely offended the queen mother this time." Shen Qinglan said.

"If you offend, you will be offended. What else can you do? Sooner or later, this will be the result. Don't worry, this king will definitely protect you." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan looked up at him and said, "My lord, I want to go to Luoping as soon as possible, and I can only cause you trouble in the capital."

"Okay, but you are not in good health and the journey is tiring, so you should wait for a few days." Zhao Shun said.

"Ah."

Shen Qinglan nodded and leaned on his shoulder again.

"My lord, sometimes the concubine thinks in her heart that it would be nice to be able to snuggle in your arms all the time." Shen Qinglan said softly.

Zhao Shun smiled and patted her hand lightly, "Sisi, you have never said such a thing to me."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shun planted a kiss on her forehead, and said again: "Sisi, I heard that Xiao Guo has gathered 30 elite soldiers and wants to take down two border cities. I..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Qinglan sat up straight, looked at him and asked, "Are you going to fight?"

"I……"

"Don't go!"

Shen Qinglan's face turned cold in an instant, "My Shen family can invest millions of dollars to summon a strong army to defend against the enemy."

Zhao Shun laughed, "Okay, okay, if the Shen family contributes a million dollars, then this king should think about it carefully."

"Humph!"

Shen Qinglan was so angry that she turned her head and stopped looking at him.

"When you come back from Luoping City, I will come back too. You, me, and the child, our family will be reunited then." Zhao Shun said.

"You...you can go if you like! I have so many good generals, but I want you, the regent, to go to the front line!" Shen Qinglan said.

"I'm going, the unscrupulous generals are already available." Zhao Shun sighed.

Shen Qinglan frowned, "Then... can't we negotiate a peace?"

"You can negotiate a peace. I am going this time for the purpose of negotiating peace. The national treasury is empty, and natural disasters have been happening for many years. It is really not suitable for war at the moment. Although the Shen family has plenty of money, as the regent, I always rule the country with the financial resources of the Yue family. Not only is my reputation bad It's nice to hear, and it's more likely to be lazy." Zhao Shun said.

"But...but now...I don't want you to leave..."

Shen Qinglan lowered her head, and tears fell immediately.

Zhao Shun's heart tightened, and he hugged her into his arms.

"Sisi, what happened this time... I am sorry for you. When I come back, I will definitely make it up to you a hundred times and a thousand times. Sisi, I really love you."

"I know……"

Shen Qinglan held onto his collar tightly, "Then come back quickly, okay..."

"Well, definitely." Zhao Shun patted her on the back lightly, and said, "Sisi, I will always report that she is safe. You don't have to worry about it too much, just take care of your baby with peace of mind."

"When are you leaving?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"About ten days later, before that, I will send you to Luoping City and arrange a good manpower for you." Zhao Shun said.

"Ok, I will wait for you……"

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, two more lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.
-
In the afternoon, the sun shines through the south window and reaches the bedside.

Shen Qinglan opened her eyes after taking a nap, and found her grandmother sitting beside her bed.

"Grandma, why are you here?"

Shen Qinglan was about to get up in a hurry, but her grandmother supported her, and said with a smile: "Slow down, slow down, don't worry, be careful and dizzy."

"It's okay, Sisi isn't that delicate, she's in good health." Shen Qinglan said, leaning on the soft pillow at the head of the bed, and holding her grandmother's hand.

"I just heard today that you were detained in the palace by the empress dowager the day before yesterday. I was worried, so I came to see you. Judging by your complexion, you are still not well." Grandma said.

"It's Sisi's fault for making grandma worry so much. Grandma, just rest assured, Sisi is fine." Shen Qinglan said.

The grandmother sighed softly, thought for a while and said: "I see, we can't delay the return to Luoping City. We have been packing for a while, and the grandmother is worried that the Empress Dowager will be suspicious and trip you up. But You are not in good health yet, and the journey is exhausting, it is really unbearable."

"Grandmother means..." Shen Qinglan was puzzled.

"I was thinking, your father, mother, and Azhu, we will go to Luoping first, so as not to attract the attention of the Queen Mother, you should take care of yourself first, and when you get better, you will pass slowly." Grandma said.

"Grandmother, there's no need, the lord said... to send me to Luoping before he sets off." Shen Qinglan said.

"Why... the prince is going to fight again?" Grandma was surprised.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Xiao Guo is already preparing his army and horses. I have experienced two rebellious incidents, and I am no longer able to fight, and there are no good generals available. At this time, the prince must go."

The grandmother thought for a while, and nodded, "Yes, as the regent, if the prince does not go out at this time, I am afraid that he will be accused by the subjects of the world as a vegetarian, and he will not seek government in his position. It is not easy for the prince. Since Since the death of the first emperor, he has been busy and has no free time. Although the new emperor has ascended the throne, everything still depends on him."

"The prince looks indifferent, but he is actually a filial person. He never forgot the entrustment of the first emperor, and he cares about the people of the Li people in the border town. As his princess, I can't hold him back." Shen Qinglan After saying that, he smiled, and said: "Because of his going to war, I even had a fight with him, otherwise, he always felt that I didn't care about him."

The grandmother also smiled, and said: "Your prince is very clear in his heart. He knows that you are a sensible person. The prince is about to go to war, and he must be thinking of you in his heart. You should also take good care of yourself. This is the most important thing."

"Well, Sisi will. The prince also left a team for me, and Murong Bo will also stay." Shen Qinglan said.

"The prince is very thoughtful. By the way... I heard that the Empress Dowager is not feeling well. How is it?" Grandma asked.

"I just sent people to Zhanghua Palace today, and the Empress Dowager's health has improved a lot." Shen Qinglan said.

"That's good."
