The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

Xue Yao insisted on not accepting the spike, ignoring the Khitan boy's stubborn and disappointed eyes, took Lu Qian's arm, turned and left.

No one owes anyone a favor.

As a citizen of Daqi, Xue Yao had reason to cut off any ties with the Khitans who coveted the territory of Daqi and plundered the herdsmen on the frontier.

He wanted to take the little chubby cub and the chattering five cubs back to the camp as soon as possible, to see if the warm baby was frightened, and finally bring the three cubs back to Beijing safely, just as they did when they came.

In another month and a half, it will be the chubby boy's 15th birthday. Xue Yao's wish is to let the little chubby boy spend his 16th birthday without any worries, and then slowly get in touch with some government affairs to share the prince's worries.

It is only one year and one and a half months away from this goal.

Xue Yao didn't know that his wings could not completely shield the three cubs from the landslide and tsunami disaster.

He did everything he could do—he preserved the reputation of Concubine Xi, warmed up the little fat cub's childhood, stopped the villains from framing the prince, saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in three counties, and saved the prince's life. He also injected antitoxin into the wounded emperor, and left a variety of antidote powders for the military doctors to try.

Unfortunately, the emperor still left after all, only living eight days longer than his previous life.

When the prince said, "Father is already in heaven", he described it as haggard, and his voice was so low and hoarse, so low that Xue Yao was lucky, hoping that the little fat boy didn't hear this sentence clearly.

There was a long gap, and Xue Yao thought that Lu Qian really didn't hear clearly, because the little fat boy didn't respond.

The chaotic and noisy camp was isolated by Lu Qian from his own world.

The fifth prince crazily shook his elder brother, asking how it was possible for the slight arrow wound to take away his father.

It was obvious that the treatment was timely, and the fifth prince also took the father as a hostage in time, how could it be possible?

Lu Qian didn't respond all the time, and looked blankly at Fifth Brother shaking Big Brother.

Xue Yao was so nervous that his hands and feet were cold, and he was always ready to meet the crying of the little fat cub, and ready to offer his arms to comfort the little fat cub.

But Lu Qian just looked at his elder brother expressionlessly.

When the Fifth Prince roared and lost his strength, Lu Qian walked up to the Prince and asked, "Isn't the father going back to the palace with his son?"

The prince put his arms around his younger brother's shoulders, and told him softly that his father had already returned to the palace, and now that the fifth child was back, the brothers had to set off early tomorrow morning to catch up with the team escorting their father to Huangzi Palace, and return to Beijing to prepare for the funeral.

There are still many things waiting for the prince to do, but the emperor left suddenly, and Ji Yang has not finished repairing.

Of course, the most difficult thing is the ascension of the new emperor.

The prince knew that his return to Beijing in the middle of the war would not be kept secret for long, and he also knew that the party of the three princes would definitely cling to the handle, blaming his father's accident on his AWOL. Even if the father is emperor, he cannot excuse the prince from responsibility.

If the emperor hadn't caught the trick, he would definitely reprimand the prince for being emotional in private, but on the stage he would lie that the war was settled and he ordered the prince to return to Beijing.

The prince himself didn't know whether the impulsiveness that night was due to his father's strictness on the surface and his protection in private for so many years.

This secret thought has always been hidden deep in the prince's heart.

Knowing his father's protection, the more the prince thinks about it, the more painful he feels, the more guilty he feels, and he wants to apologize with death every moment.

However, the situation was so tense that he didn't have a chance to breathe. The mistakes he made were irreparable, and he could no longer destroy his ancestor's foundation in the hands of the third child.

So he poured trusting eyes on the face of the seventh brother who didn't look too sad in front of him: "Old Seven, we all have to be prepared."

Lu Qian still looked at his elder brother so blankly, not understanding what his elder brother wanted him to prepare, and felt that without his father's sons and ministers, he should understand what his elder brother wanted him to prepare, so Lu Qian became nervous, his childish face showed Pretending to be calm and sophisticated, he solemnly showed his eldest brother the wound on his arm that had not yet fallen off the scab: "When the wound is healed, I will prepare."

He was making excuses for his unpreparedness.

The younger brother's performance made the prince very confused. These days, he has been thinking over and over again what his father said before his death, repeatedly analyzing whether these words are muddled words or his father's sincere wishes.

If appointing the seventh brother as a reserve and persuading him to assist him were all sincere, what did the father see in the seventh brother's strengths?

The prince was still young after all, and he couldn't see some things clearly with his father's eyes anyway, so he felt that his father must be sick and confused.

But he still needs the cooperation of the seventh brother. If he cannot gain a foothold in the court because of his crimes, he will first use his power to help the seventh brother ascend the throne and cut off the Tong family's wings.

What happened after that was a matter between their brothers.

The real and pure brotherhood between Lao Qi and him made the prince not in a hurry to think about the future.

At this moment, Xue Yao was the only one who was extremely worried about the Seventh Prince.

Just when the crown prince said that he was going to escort the emperor Zigong back to the capital, he heard the system screaming—his little chubby boy's sense of security was suddenly cleared to zero.

This is very abnormal. The pain caused by the death of a loved one is often not an instant burst, but after a long time, every occasion when the other party is needed and the other party is absent, the longing like a knife will slowly erode people's hearts.

Just like the fifth and sixth princes, after the initial grief dissipated, the two brothers soon began to encourage and comfort each other, only the seventh prince remained silent.

Having also lost their father, the two elder brothers had no time to understand what kind of confusion the younger brother was going through at the moment, only Xue Yao felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Even though he stayed with the little fat cub all the time, Xue Yao still felt that the little fat cub was keeping away from him all the time.

Xue Yao tried to wrap his arms around the little fat boy's arm, then his neck, and then his waist, but the little guy still didn't respond.

Xue Yao took out his newly exchanged milk and snacks from his luggage, and threatened Fat Boy, "This is the last pot of milk. Your Highness, or the fifth and sixth brothers?"

Lu Qian turned his head to look at him, the flickering candlelight in his pale pupils, and Xue Yao's clumsy "coaxing children to perform".

The quiet eyes made Xue Yao feel cramped, and he lowered his head and opened the water bag obediently, reaching out to feed the little chubby cub.

It was at this moment that Xue Yao quietly looked at Lu Qian's strange gaze. This gaze was not as carefree and loose as in the past, but a kind of concentration of letting go of everything, which made Xue Yao feel that Lu Qian, at this moment, He was the only one in his eyes.

Xue Yao said embarrassedly: At that moment, he was quite excited.

Anyone who has been with a child with an emotional disorder for more than ten years, and it is the first time to receive such intense attention, will probably be secretly happy regardless of the occasion. meaning.

Early the next morning, he realized that the little fat cub was missing.

Beside Xue Yao's pillow, there were half-eaten pastries and half-drinked milk.

Because he lied to the little fat cub that there was only the last portion of food left, so the little fat cub didn't have a full stomach before this farewell, and left half of the food for his incompetent little companion to read.

Xue Yao, who hadn't washed his face or rinsed his mouth, frantically searched all over the camp, and then asked for help from the prince, sword master and old man Xu, and told them that the seventh prince was lost.

Only at this time did the crown prince, fifth prince and sixth prince start to feel remorse, lack of consolation for the mentally ill younger brother, and were very angry at the waywardness of the seventh brother.

No one could figure out what kind of petty temper the Seventh Prince was playing by "running away from home" at this juncture.

In the end, it was up to Xue Yao to calm down desperately, try to enter the little chubby boy's mind, think in his way, and guess where he went.

Xue Yao had a bad guess——

The fat cub's father passed away, and the Khitan prince replaced the fifth brother. In this fair exchange, only the Khitan king remained.

The little fat cub is going to kill the Khitan king, Xue Yao thought to himself.

In the original book, after King Ning ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to secretly instigate a Khitan general, capture the Khitan king alive, and kill the Khitan king in the same way that his father and elder brother died in battle.

There is a significant difference between Lu Qian today and King Ning in the original book, that is, he has never hit a wall, and he does not have enough forbearance and patience.

King Ning's revenge plan was advanced.

The Juggernaut and old man Xu calmed down Xue Yao, who was in a frenzy, and promised to bring the apprentice back safely.

If you want to cross the river, you have to pass at least one pass. With the lightness of the two masters, it is easy to reach the pass early and block the way of the little apprentice, so there is nothing to worry about.

It was impossible for Xue Yao not to be worried. He wanted to go find it with the two seniors, and he knew his speed well, so he could only obediently wait for news in the camp.

The prince also arranged for the soldiers to quickly notify each gate: strictly guard against death, and send the seventh prince back to Beijing in time.

Because the funeral of the emperor cannot be delayed, the crown prince can no longer wait for the mischievous seventh brother to be escorted back, and lead the other younger brothers back to Beijing as soon as possible.

Xue Yao originally wanted to stay in the frontier and wait for the little fat boy to go back together, but the prince asked him to go back to Beijing to testify that the third prince had sent troops to chase and kill him and the seventh prince.

It was unavoidable that the court was in turmoil, and the third prince took advantage of the loopholes, so Xue Yao could only go back to Beijing with the prince.

Tong Ningzhao's spies have already found the guards at the post station along the road, and confirmed that the prince is still in the war, so he went back to the palace.

The emperor's edict clearly stated that the prince was rescued because his whereabouts were unknown, which can show that the prince did not inform the emperor before returning to the palace.

This leaves a lot to be desired.

The news of the emperor's death had already cost the empress half of her life, and the empress with half her life left was in a trance, and hadn't comprehended the meaning of changing King Lining as the heir apparent in the will.

She couldn't even remember for a moment who King Ning was, what it had to do with her, and what it had to do with her husband.

The news of her husband's death turned her complaints that had been brewing for decades into bad debts. When standing by the Zi Palace, the queen only saw her husband in the coffin and her overworked son.

The queen took her son and talked a lot to her husband beside the coffin.

After nearly 20 years, her second master finally had time to listen to her so quietly again.

The prince did not expect that the queen mother would not be furious because of his private return to the palace.

A woman who has lost the care of her husband often seeks a sense of security from power. He thinks that the mother has long since lost the tenderness and tenderness of her youth.

Farewell, the queen mother in armor and holding a sharp sword reconciled with the man in the coffin she had hated for 20 years.

It's not fair, women are always too softhearted.
