Quick Wear of Pregnant and Soft Beauty

Chapter 139 The Prime Minister has a wife but no children

Nothing major happened in the next few days of Qiu Lie. Originally, everyone was waiting to see how Zhou Shaoning would react. It never occurred to me that she had not even left the tent once since that day.

The rest of the people seize the time to hunt. The royal hunting ground raises many animals. If they are lucky, they can hunt wild deer together in winter to entertain distinguished guests.

The prince hunted some good foxes and had them taken back and made into fox furs for the queen. Remembering Zhao Yin's body, he personally took people to the depths of the forest to hunt down five or six wild deer and came back. Three were given to Zhao Yin, and the others were given to the empress dowager and the emperor as a filial piety.

Except for going to the forest on the first day, Shen Lanzhou spent the rest of the time with Zhao Yin in the camp, occasionally going to the emperor to help with some matters.

Only a small number of people saw how he shot that day and knew how good his archery skills were.

After the autumn hunt, we returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the end of autumn, the wound on Zhao Yin's arm was almost healed, it was slowly scabbing, and occasionally itchy.

The baby in her belly was more than four months old.

As the end of the year approaches, many officials inside and outside the capital want to make some achievements and get promoted. As the head of the hundred officials, Shen Lanzhou had less and less time to return to the palace. Sometimes he would hurriedly eat with Zhao Yin and then leave for the palace.

Hong Rui once passed the news that she was pregnant and the imperial concubine sent her nanny to take care of her, and she was determined to please the third prince. Never one to be sour or jealous, the third prince doted on her a lot more than before.

As for Zhou Shaoning, on the third day after Qiu Lie returned to Beijing, she took a carriage from the palace to the Third Prince's Mansion. But I heard that the third prince never stayed in her room.

As winter was approaching, a group of vendors suddenly poured in from outside the capital. In his words, he mentioned that someone in Anping County outside the capital was leading an uprising.

The matter reached the ears of the censor, and he immediately impeached the local magistrate.

Leading an army in rebellion meant that something was wrong under the king's rule. It is also very likely to cause instability in people's hearts and turmoil in the current situation, and it is easy for someone to take advantage of the loopholes and threaten the throne.

The emperor was furious, "Prime Minister, has the magistrate of Anping County ever written a letter about this matter?"

Shen Lanzhou said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's not true. Maybe it's a rumor. Your Majesty might as well send someone to Anping County to find out."

As the princes grew up, there were not a few ministers in the court who secretly formed factions to join forces. In the past, the emperor would let Shen Lanzhou handle such matters. Since he became obviously close to the prince, the emperor would subconsciously avoid him in some matters.

The emperor looked around and found that no one was available.

Just when he was in trouble, his eyes stopped on one of them. "Master Zheng, I remember that the district and county you served before was not far from Anping County?"

A man came out of the crowd and said, "Your Majesty, we are only separated by one county."

"Okay! Let Mr. Sun manage matters in the capital. You can go to Anping County immediately to verify."

"Your Majesty, if there are really traitors and rebels, it will be difficult for the minister to go alone." Mr. Zheng almost said that the emperor sent me to die.

The rest of the people looked at Mr. Zheng sideways. This boy was young, but his art of speaking was becoming more and more sophisticated.

The emperor pondered for a while, "I will send an army to follow you."

Master Zheng: "I thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

The uprising in Anping County caused an uproar throughout the capital, and Zhao Yin was slightly surprised when he heard about it. At this time in the previous life, someone from this county should have come to complain, but now it has become an uprising and it is getting more and more serious.

After the court, the prince and the prime minister drank tea in the East Palace.

"Ziyi, do you think Master Zheng can come back alive?"

"Whether Lord Zheng can come back depends on whether His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to take action." Shen Lanzhou added: "It doesn't matter whether Lord Zheng is a neutral faction or not. From the moment Lord Wei died, he was destined to have an incomprehensible relationship with the third prince. hatred."

The prince took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "Master Zheng's method of investigating the case last time was quite interesting. The court needs such interesting people so that it will not be so boring in the future."

Shen Lanzhou understood that the prince was willing to protect Mr. Zheng.

He walked out of the East Palace and looked in the direction of the Hanlin Academy.

Not long ago, he sent someone outside the capital to wait for a small government official who was going to the palace to file a complaint. He had already asked his friends in the world to find out what happened in Anping County.

The uncle of the third prince used his power to collect extra taxes there, mined coal mines privately, and arrested many ordinary people. In addition, they also sell private salt and intercept caravans.

Most of the huge wealth he acquired was given to the third prince to win people's hearts.

Originally, according to Shen Lanzhou's past temperament, this matter should be reported to the emperor immediately, and the third prince would be imprisoned in the palace.

But this was not the result Shen Lanzhou wanted.

In the emperor's heart, the third prince and the prince were both his sons. He needed the third prince to restrain the prince and stabilize his throne.

No matter how jealous the third prince does, as long as he does not threaten the emperor's position as the most powerful person, the third prince will not die.

As long as the third prince does not die, the prince will always be replaceable.

Since the Queen Mother's proposed marriage and the death of Master Qiu Liewei, Shen Lanzhou understood that only the prince could legitimately ascend the throne as soon as possible. His position as prime minister will be more stable, and his power will be less constrained by those in the royal family.

People will do irrational things when they are in trouble. The third prince has been recruiting troops secretly for many years. You can imagine what he will do if he realizes that he is no longer destined for the throne.

The emperor would never tolerate a son who could threaten his throne at any time.

When Shen Lanzhou returned home, he saw a familiar carriage parked outside and asked the concierge. "Who is coming to my father-in-law's house?"

The concierge replied respectfully, "It's Young Master Zhao, and he's bringing an old man with him."

After Zhao Gao Wu Qiu Lie, he set off to Nanshan to find the old miracle doctor according to the clues provided by the prince.

When Shen Lanzhou heard that he was taking an old man with him, his heartbeat slowed down for half a beat and he walked into the house much faster.

"Madam, her heart was depressed before. Coupled with the many colds and fevers, her internal organs were severely exhausted. I will slowly help you recover. It should take about ten years."

Zhao Gaowu clenched his fists and knelt on the ground. "Old miracle doctor, you have great medical skills. You will definitely have other ways."

The old miracle doctor shook his head, "Young master, don't make things difficult for me. The internal organs are the foundation of a human being. If the foundation is damaged, no matter how good your medical skills are, it will be useless."

"Third brother, get up. Ten years is already very good. The doctor before said that I can only live for three to five years at most." Zhao Yin had expected this situation. After all, the system had conducted a comprehensive test on this body in advance. .

Zhao Yin looked at the old miracle doctor and said, "Please, miracle doctor, keep this a secret for me and don't tell my husband about this matter."

"Third brother, you too."

Zhao Gaowu, a grown man, had red eyes, "Why don't you tell him? He is a dignified prime minister, a man who stands upright..."

Zhao Yin just smiled and shook his head to interrupt him, "Third brother, you will understand if you have someone you truly love."

Sometimes it is the most painful to lose something after you have gained it.
