The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Crown Princess, the Emperor has issued an order that we must go to Huangshan Temple from today." Qing Yi ran in hurriedly and reported the sudden news to Xue Jinhua who was drinking pregnancy-preserving medicine.

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua just raised her eyes slightly. She didn't pause at all while holding the medicine bowl in her hand. After taking a sip, she said slowly: "Oh? Really? It seems he is quite quick." Her tone was as calm as water, as if all this was expected.

However, Qingyi, who was standing aside, had a worried look on her face and said anxiously, "Crown Princess, the situation is so urgent right now, but all our arrangements have been disrupted! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not made any move yet. If things continue like this...if the Xue family makes trouble, I'm afraid we will all be trapped in Huangshan Temple and unable to escape. The consequences will be disastrous!"

Facing Qingyi's worry, Xue Jinhua gently put down the medicine bowl in her hand, calmly took off a jade pendant from her waist, and handed it to Qingyi: "Don't panic, Qingyi."

"Take this jade pendant. The Crown Prince had prepared it long before he left. If the plan is indeed advanced, you must immediately deliver the jade pendant to the post station outside the city gate. Remember, this matter is of vital importance and there must be no delay."

Qing Yi looked at the jade pendant, her eyes full of reluctance and worry: "Crown Princess, if I leave now, who can protect you? Or let someone else deliver the jade pendant. I must stay by your side all the time to ensure your safety."

How could Xue Jinhua not know what she was thinking? However, the issues involved were complicated and not as easy as they seemed.

"Qingyi, you are the only person I can trust right now. You must not let anyone else handle this matter. Remember, no mistakes are allowed!"

Xue Jinhua said solemnly, her tone was also extremely serious, "If there is any negligence, the consequences will be disastrous, and the number of people who will die will probably not be just you and me."

Qingyi knew that Xue Jinhua was always cautious and prudent, and seeing that he had made up his mind, she did not try to persuade him any further.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is time to go to Huangshan Temple.

Although the Queen Mother had not yet fully recovered, she still made up her mind to embark on this journey without hesitation out of consideration for the country's fortunes.

When the empress dowager traveled, the number of maids serving her was more than twice as many as usual.

And since leaving the palace, the Queen has always followed closely behind and taken good care of him. The two get along well with each other, and the scene looks particularly warm and harmonious.

At this time, Xue Jinhua stood quietly at one side. Because she was pregnant, she did not serve closely as usual, but only spoke a few words occasionally.

However, when the Queen Mother glanced at her, she found that the maidservant was not the usual Qingyi maidservant. She couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked with a bit of curiosity, "Why did you change the maid today? You are pregnant now, so you should find someone familiar and reliable to accompany you and take care of you."

Xue Jinhua bowed slightly and responded softly, "In reply to the Imperial Grandmother, Qingyi has caught a cold recently and is feeling unwell."

"My granddaughter-in-law thought that since she was already ill, if she forced herself to come with me, what if she passed the disease on to everyone else? Wouldn't that be a sin? Besides, this time we came to pray for the prosperity of the country, and Qingyi usually practices martial arts, wielding swords and guns all day long, and is used to fighting and killing, so she lacks some piety."

"As for this girl Guyu, she was specially left to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before he left. She is efficient and hardworking, and she also takes good care of my grandson's wife's daily life. I think nothing will go wrong."

The Queen Mother was secretly delighted when she heard this, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She nodded and said, "Well, since it is arranged like this, I think you must have some plans in mind, so I will do as you say."

At this time, Boss Xue, who was standing not far away, obviously also heard the conversation between Xue Jinhua and the Queen Mother, but he just glanced at where Xue Jinhua was, without showing too much emotion on his face, and still looked calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

There was no affection between Xue Jinhua and him anymore, and the thin disguise between them had been completely torn apart, leaving only a superficial layer of courtesy and decency.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua was extremely disgusted with him and was too lazy to even say a word.

"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the Empress."

Following a respectful greeting, Xue Jin turned and left expressionlessly.

However, even though she was walking further and further away, she could still hear the trivial and low voice of Boss Xue intermittently: "This humble official came here to report some details about the blessing to the Empress Dowager in advance. When the blessing comes, I hope the Empress Dowager and the Queen will pay a little attention......"

When Xue Jinhua finally walked a long way away and could no longer hear Boss Xue's words, a figure so familiar that it made her feel annoyed suddenly appeared in front of her.

Upon closer inspection, this person turned out to be Young Master Jin!

Xue Jinhua frowned, looking unhappy, and said coldly: "What are you doing here? I don't need you here, you should go back to the Imperial Master as soon as possible."

For some reason, out of an instinctive reaction, Xue Jinhua disliked the person in front of her from the bottom of her heart.

Every time I see him, I feel an indescribable discomfort in my heart, as if something is blocking my chest.

Young Master Jin lowered his head slightly, as if he was lost in thought, and for a moment, no one knew what he was thinking about.

After a while, he slowly said, "I'm afraid the Crown Princess has misunderstood. This time, the Emperor specifically ordered me to come and protect the Crown Princess."

"The journey to Huangshan Temple is long and arduous, and the journey is exhausting. The Crown Princess is pregnant now. If there is one more person to take care of her, the Emperor will feel at ease."

As he spoke, Gongzi Jin's eyes inadvertently swept over Xue Jinhua's bulging belly.

Although it was an extremely brief glance, at that moment, Xue Jinhua felt her heart suddenly go cold, and an indescribable strange feeling arose spontaneously.

This feeling was hard to describe and made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Regardless of whether she felt physically comfortable or not, Xue Jinhua was always repulsed by Gongzi Jin's gaze deep down.

She frowned slightly and responded firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Jin, but I don't need your special protection."

"The people left behind by His Royal Highness are enough to protect my safety. As for Lord Jin, it would be better for you to focus your energy on protecting other members of the royal family who need care."

Facing Xue Jinhua's refusal, Gongzi Jin's expression did not change, and he still maintained his humble and polite attitude, but the attitude in his words was extremely firm: "I am acting in accordance with your orders, and I am wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that the Crown Princess is safe and sound."

"If the Crown Princess is dissatisfied with me, you can directly present your complaint to the Emperor. However, I am under the Emperor's order and dare not disobey him in the slightest."

Seeing her firm and tough attitude, Xue Jinhua knew that no matter how hard she tried to persuade her, it would be in vain and meaningless.

So, she narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes flickering, and finally she sighed softly and said: "Since Lord Jin insists on doing this, then it's up to you." As soon as the voice fell, Xue Jinhua turned around and got on the carriage with a little anger.

As the coachman waved the whip, the carriage began to move forward slowly, the wheels made a creaking sound, and the body of the carriage began to sway.

However, during this swaying, Xue Jinhua inadvertently caught a glimpse of the familiar figure of Gongzi Jin - he was standing quietly not far away, his eyes vaguely looking over here.

Seeing this, Gu Yu couldn't help but lower his voice and said to Xue Jinhua, "Crown Princess, that Young Master Jin is a capable person beside the Imperial Master. He appeared here this time. Could it be that he was sent by the Imperial Master to monitor us?"

Guyu was the person Ling Yan arranged to stay with Xue Jinhua. Although she was not proficient in martial arts, she mastered basic medical skills.

Guyu was well aware of the difficult situation Xue Jinhua was currently in.

After hearing what Gu Yu said, Xue Jinhua hesitated for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Who cares if he was ordered to come and monitor us? Anyway, we are upright and have nothing to fear."

"Besides, there are still some things that have not completely cleared my suspicion. Now that I am acting under his nose, it is also a good opportunity to prove my innocence. If they are willing to follow me, let them follow me." In this way, the carriage swayed all the way towards Huangshan Temple. After about an hour, it finally arrived at the destination.

When the abbot of Huangshan Temple learned that the emperor and the empress dowager were about to arrive, he made all the necessary preparations in advance. He led all the monks in the temple to wait respectfully in front of the mountain gate early in the morning, awaiting the arrival of the holy emperor.

Soon, one could see flags flying and canopies like clouds, and the emperor and the empress dowager's carriage slowly approaching.

When the carriage came to a complete stop, the abbot led the crowd to kneel down and pay respects, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I am honored to have you visit my humble temple."

The emperor stepped down from the carriage with a swift and graceful step, raised his hand and said with a smile, "Master, please stand up."

He looked around and saw the green mountains surrounding him and the solemn ancient temple, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Just as the emperor was about to step into the mountain temple, suddenly, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds resounded through the sky, coming from far away and becoming clearer and clearer.

Then, there was a burst of noisy noise.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Following the cry of surprise, a man was seen falling hurriedly from a speeding carriage, and then tumbling towards the emperor in a panic like a rolling ball.

The dust was flying all along the way, attracting the attention of people around, with expressions of surprise and worry on their faces.

But after a few moments, the man finally rolled all the way to the emperor's feet under the astonished gaze of everyone.

He was in ragged clothes, covered in dirt, and shouted again in horror: "The Emperor is in trouble!"

The emperor's face suddenly turned gloomy when he saw this, and he asked sternly, "Why are you so panicked? Hurry up and report the truth!"

The soldier raised his head tremblingly and answered tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Mobei suddenly raised an army to the south... Their army is unstoppable and has already captured thirteen states of our dynasty! Now urgent news has come from the border... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the 100,000 troops sent by our dynasty have suffered a disastrous defeat!"

"Wha...what?"

When the emperor heard this, he trembled all over as if struck by lightning. His face turned extremely pale in an instant and his body shook as if he was about to faint.

Seeing this, the servants nearby hurried forward to support him.

The Queen Mother was also stunned by the sudden news. She opened her eyes wide and murmured in disbelief: "How...how could this be? Is it really as the folks say, this is the so-called vision from heaven?" Her words revealed deep worry and uneasiness.

At this time, Xue Jinhua was already a little confused. Seeing this scene, she was even more certain of her previous guess - this matter was probably inextricably linked to Boss Xue.

Thinking of this, she raised her head involuntarily and cast her eyes on the imperial teacher standing on the side.

However, to her surprise, the Imperial Master still looked calm and composed, as if he already knew all of this.

The Imperial Master bowed and said slowly, "Your Majesty, this strange phenomenon from the sky is indeed an ominous sign, so we must pray for blessings without delay."

"It's just that... right now there are many matters to be dealt with in the court, and it's really busy."

"In my humble opinion, Your Majesty should return to the palace for a while and personally preside over the overall situation of the government. When the day of blessing comes, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to visit Huangshan Temple again."

After hearing this, the emperor pondered for a moment and thought about it secretly in his heart.

Although praying for blessings is of vital importance, the military and national affairs of the court cannot be neglected in the slightest.

The suggestion made by the national teacher was exactly what he wanted.

So the emperor nodded and said, "Well, let's do as the Imperial Master says. However, during this period, I will have to trouble my mother to take care of me."
