Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 788 The Family Walks (4 More)
The news of Su Qing's return to Beijing spread to Qianqing Palace immediately.

Zhao Xi ordered Eunuch Sanbao to wait at the gate of the city, and directly connect Su Qing to the palace.

Before Su Qing changed out of his armor and military uniform, he was blocked by Eunuch Sanbao at the gate of Beicheng.

He was riding a Xueliqing horse, his grim face was covered with gloom, the rein was clenched tightly in his left hand, the whip in his right hand, and a beast-patterned saber was slung across his waist.

"Your Majesty has summoned you, and please invite the governor to enter the palace with your slaves." Eunuch Sanbao bowed his waist and spoke in a respectful tone.

Su Qing remained motionless, and the gaze cast on him was piercingly cold.

Eunuch Sanbao thought Su Qing didn't hear it, so he repeated it again.

Su Qing was still silent, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"

Eunuch Three Treasures: "..."

Su Qing said coldly: "Whoever blocks me will die!"

As he spoke, he waved his whip, and the horse neighed loudly and then galloped towards Eunuch Sanbao.

Eunuch Sanbao broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and hurriedly hid to the side.

Su Qing's horse has galloped far away, and the direction is Su Mansion.

Eunuch Sanbao stroked his chest, then stepped into the carriage and asked the coachman to follow the Governor of Su and go to the Su residence to wait.

……

Su Mansion, Yuxiu Courtyard.

"Master Qi is back, ma'am, Lord Qi is back!"

Following Jin Huan's joyful voice, Lin Xiaoyue, who was almost maddened by Jin Yiwei's monitoring, seemed to be waiting for the hope of life. Her face, which had been slumped for several days, finally came to light, and before she had time to calm herself down, she hurried away out.

Su Qing has strode into the courtyard gate.

Seeing his wife rushing towards this side without hesitation, he stopped, the cold star in his eyes dissipated, and there was an imperceptible soft warmth.

"Qi Ye, you're finally back." Seeing him, Lin Xiaoyue thought of all the things she had suffered these days, and now she felt full of grievances, and her eyes turned red.

Su Qing stretched out his hand, stroked her soft cheeks with his rough fingertips, and said in a soothing voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Before Lin Xiaoyue could say anything more, she heard the voices of two children not far behind her.

"Daddy, Ah Nuan misses you so much!"

"Daddy..." This is Amor's voice.

The little guy was raised to be round and solid, and his little butt twisted and twisted as he ran. It took a long time to reach Su Qing, and he didn't step on his feet firmly, so he staggered and threw himself into Su Qing's arms.

Su Qing hugged him, then squatted down, his stern and resolute facial contour softened a lot, and asked him, "Did you listen to your mother during the time when your father was away?"

"Yes~" the little guy said, looking up at Lin Xiaoyue.

Lin Xiaoyue just laughed, "After Master Qi left, the little guy will listen to me, it's just..."

At this point, the smile on her face stopped and her expression darkened.

"I know all about it." Su Qing revealed it in one sentence, "Go into the room first."

With Jin Yiwei's eyes and ears outside, the courtyard is not a good place to talk after all.

Lin Xiaoyue came to her senses, and she and her husband dragged a child into the house.

After closing the door and letting Jin Zhi and Jin Huan guard outside, Lin Xiaoyue hugged Amur to the couch, poured tea for Su Qing, asked him if he was hungry, and if he was hungry, immediately ordered the back kitchen to prepare a meal.

"Don't bother." Su Qing said: "Today's meal, I will probably go to the palace to eat."

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

Su Qing didn't tell him that Emperor Xuanjing asked Father-in-law Sanbao to pick him up, but only said: "I'm going to report to the palace in a while."

Hearing the word "entering the palace", Lin Xiaoyue's heart sank, and the corners of her lips tightened.

After a while, she said sadly: "Do you know what His Majesty means?"

"I received the news in northern Xinjiang." Su Qing said truthfully.

"Your Majesty asked Lord Qi to leave his wife and children behind and send Amur back to the Western Borders to become king." Lin Xiaoyue became more and more uncertain, "Master Qi, when do you plan to leave?"

After all, she failed to give birth to Qi Ye's son. If he used this as an excuse to form another family in Xijiang, how would she deal with herself?

In fact, as long as he can stay, she can give him a concubine to bear a son for him, she can take as much as she wants.

Seeing his wife suddenly depressed, Su Qing took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and looked at her dark face, "You don't want me to go to Xijiang?"

"I..." Lin Xiaoyue paused and nodded, "If it is possible, I hope you can stay in the capital, then at least our family will always be together."

After thinking about it, he added, "If you want a son, after the national funeral, I'll take a concubine for you right away, and I can choose according to your preference, and I will definitely be able to give birth to an heir for you."

"What I want is not an heir." Su Qing glanced at her.

These words made Lin Xiaoyue even more uncertain, she moved her lips.

Su Qing had finished drinking tea, stood up, stroked the top of her hair, "Stay at home and wait for me to come back."

Lin Xiaoyue could only nod her head and send him out of Yuxiu Courtyard.

……

Eunuch Sanbao was still waiting outside, seeing Su Qing coming out so quickly, he quickly put on a smiling face, "Seeing my family, Qi Ye can now enter the palace with peace of mind to meet the saint?"

Su Qing glanced at Jin Yiwei who was guarding outside the gate of Su's house, and sneered, "During Su's Northern Expedition, the imperial court really took good care of my wife, meticulously."

Eunuch Sanbao just pretended not to understand, and continued to follow his words, "Master Qi has made great achievements in battle and is an important minister of the imperial court. His Majesty will naturally take good care of his wife."

Su Qing didn't say anything more, got on his horse, raised his whip, and headed towards the imperial city.

……

After layers of notifications, Su Qing met Emperor Xuan Jing in the side hall of Qianqing Palace.

I remember that when he set off for the expedition, the 17-year-old boy in front of him was still the prince who supervised the court. After half a year of seeing him, the other party has already sat firmly on the dragon chair and ruled the world.

"The last general kowtows to His Majesty." Su Qing knelt on one knee, with his back straight.

"The governor doesn't need to be too polite, just be flat." Zhao Xi raised his hand.

When Su Qing stood up straight, Zhao Xi asked, "I'm sure you already know the purpose of sending the governor back to Beijing this time, right?"

"I know." Su Qing paused, "It's one thing, but whether it can be done in the end is another matter."

Zhao Xi leaned back, with interested eyes, "Oh?"

Su Qing sneered, "Your Majesty's purpose in going to Western Xinjiang is nothing more than to stabilize the people's hearts, but in the end, he can't even stabilize his own family. How can he stabilize the Jiuli people?"

Zhao Xi understood, "I think the chief governor is complaining that I didn't quell the rumors about the child in your house in Beijing a few days ago."

Su Qing was noncommittal.

Zhao Xi smiled lightly, and already understood Su Qing's thoughts, "It was the late emperor's will to send Amur back to the western border, and the governor knew that it couldn't be changed, so you came to see me now to negotiate conditions, tell me!"

Su Qing was slightly stunned, the new emperor's mind was so clear that it was frightening.

However, since the emperor passed the steps, why didn't he go down, "If you have to go to the western border, the general has only one request, and that is to take away your wife and children."

The young emperor seemed to have expected him to say this a long time ago, without any surprise on his face, and his tone was calm and slow, "The governor took away his wife and children, and the imperial court has no bargaining chips to restrain you. How can I believe that, are you Are you really loyal to Chu State?"

"The last general is willing to hand over his military power, and exchange his wife and children for the opportunity to go to the western border with the last general."

It wasn't until he said this that Su Qing suddenly realized that everything was in Emperor Xuan Jing's expectation, or in other words, in his calculations.

Emperor Xuan Jing expected that he would come to negotiate terms, and the condition he offered was to take away his wife and children. The only bargaining chip he could hand over was the military power in his hand.

In the final analysis, Emperor Xuanjing was afraid that he would go to Xijiang and unite with the Jiuli enclave to rebel against himself, so he wanted to take his military power in advance.

Playing tricks at such a young age is really not in vain for all these years of painstaking cultivation by the late emperor.

……

Zhao Xi left Su Qing to eat fast in the palace, and when Su Qing returned to the mansion, Lin Xiaoyue was sitting on the couch in a daze.

Su Qing took two steps forward.

Lin Xiaoyue heard footsteps, turned her head, and met his deep gaze.

"Qi Ye." Lin Xiaoyue said: "Jin Zhi said, the guards outside have all withdrawn, did you say something in front of His Majesty?"

"I promised Your Majesty that I will send Amur back to the western border." Su Qing replied.

Lin Xiaoyue was suddenly speechless. What she had been worrying about all along finally happened.

Thinking of this trip, he had to come back once a year, Lin Xiaoyue felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Su Qing looked at her expression, and suddenly smiled, "Since you've gone and won't come back, then naturally the whole family has to go."

"What?" Lin Xiaoyue couldn't believe her ears, she looked at Su Qing with burning eyes, "Qi Ye, you didn't lie to me?"

Su Qing nodded, "The schedule is tight, so let the servants start packing."

Lin Xiaoyue still found it inconceivable, "Our mother and daughter are His Majesty's bargaining chips to restrain Qi Ye. How could he casually agree to Qi Ye to take me and Ah Nuan away? Could it be that Qi Ye agreed to His Majesty's conditions?"
