Chapter 465: There are no more unscrupulous generals available in the DPRK

Zhao Shun came to the side hall and first saluted Jiang Chuo with clasped fists: "I have met the Queen."

"Cousin Shun, has the Queen Mother promised you to take your sister-in-law away?" Jiang Chuo asked.

"Yes, I agreed." Zhao Shun said.

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

"Farewell to the Queen." 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 quickly walked to Shen Qinglan, frowned and asked, "Why does your face look so bad?"

"It's nothing, I just didn't get enough rest." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun took Shen Qinglan's hand. At this time, a palace attendant came in and reported back: "Your Majesty, Princess, and the Queen Mother have invited an imperial physician to diagnose the Princess's pulse."

"Let him come in." Zhao Shun said.

"yes."

The palace attendant invited the imperial doctor in. The imperial doctor took Shen Qinglan's pulse and said, "Go back to the king, the fetus of the princess is fine, but she is a little weak. She will be fine after a few days of treatment."

"Thank you so much, doctor." Shen Qinglan said.

"Princess, you're welcome, this is what a lower official should do," the imperial doctor said.

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

"yes."

After the imperial doctor left, Zhao Shun sat down next to Shen Qinglan.

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

"I'm really fine, Your Majesty, let's go back to the house." Shen Qinglan said.

"Okay, let's go back home."

-

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

"Your Majesty, this time we have completely offended the Queen Mother." Shen Qinglan said.

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

Shen Qinglan looked up at him and said: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Luoping as soon as possible. I can only cause you trouble in Kyoto."

"Okay, but you are in poor health and tired from the journey, so please wait a few days." Zhao Shun said.

"Um."

Shen Qinglan nodded and leaned on his shoulder again.

"Your Majesty, sometimes I think in my heart and mind that it would be great if I could always be in your arms like this." Shen Qinglan said softly.

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

After saying that, Zhao Shun placed a kiss on her forehead and said, "Sisi, I heard that Xiao State has summoned 300,000 elite soldiers and wants to capture two border cities. I..."

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

"I……"

"Don't go!"

Shen Qinglan's face turned cold for a moment, "My Shen family can invest millions to recruit powerful troops to defend against the enemy."

Zhao Shun laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, if the Shen family invests one million, I will give it some thought."

"snort!"

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 children, 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.

"We have no more unscrupulous generals in our court." Zhao Shun sighed.

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

"We can negotiate for peace. I am going this time for the purpose of negotiating peace. The national treasury is empty and there have been natural disasters for many years. It is really not suitable to start a war right now. Although the Shen family has plenty of money, as the regent, I always use the financial resources of the Yue family to govern the country. Not only does my reputation suffer

It sounds nice, but it also sounds like inaction and laziness." 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 can't forgive you. When I come back, I will make up for it a hundred times a thousand times. Sisi, I really love you."

"I know……"

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

"Yes, definitely." Zhao Shun patted her back gently and said, "Sisi, I will always report that you are safe. You don't have to worry too much. You can just take care of your baby with peace of mind."

"When are you leaving?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"In about ten days, before then, I will send you to Luoping City and arrange manpower for you," Zhao Shun said.

"Ok, I will wait for you……"

After Shen Qinglan said this, two more lines of tears fell 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 hurriedly wanted to get up, but her grandmother supported her and said with a smile: "Slow down, slow down, don't be anxious, be careful if you get dizzy if you get too anxious."

"It's okay, Sisi is not that delicate and is 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 Queen Mother the day before yesterday. I felt worried, so I came over to see you. Judging from your face, it still looks bad," said the grandmother.

"It's Sisi's fault that Grandma is so worried. Grandma, just don't worry, Sisi is fine," Shen Qinglan said.

Grandma sighed softly, thought for a moment and said, "I see, we can't delay our return to Luoping City. We have been packing our bags during this time, and Grandma is worried that the Queen Mother will be suspicious and may cause trouble for you. But

You are not in good health yet, and the fatigue of the journey is really unbearable."

"Grandma means..." Shen Qinglan was confused.

"I was thinking that your father, mother and I, as well as A-Zhu, would go to Luoping first so as not to attract the attention of the Queen Mother. You should take care of yourself first and wait until you feel better to go there slowly." Grandma said.

"Grandma, it's no need. The prince said... that he would send me to Luoping before he goes on an expedition," Shen Qinglan said.

"Why...the prince is going on an expedition again?" Grandma was surprised.

Shen Qinglan nodded, "The Xiao Kingdom is already preparing its troops. Our court has experienced two rebellions. We are no longer able to fight and there are no good generals available. At this time, the prince must go."

Grandma thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, as the regent, if the prince does not go to war at this time, I am afraid that the people in the world will accuse him of being a vegetarian and not doing his job while in office. It is not easy for the prince. Since then,

Since the death of the late emperor, he has been very busy and had no time to spare. Now, although the new emperor has ascended the throne, he still has to rely on him to support everything."

"The prince may seem indifferent, but he is actually the most filial person. He has never forgotten the late emperor's entrustment for a moment, and he cares deeply about the people in the border towns. As his princess, I cannot hold him back." Shen Qinglan

After saying that, he smiled and said: "I even had a quarrel with him because of his going to war. Otherwise, he would always feel that I don't care about him."

Grandma also smiled and said: "Your prince is very clear in his heart. He knows that you are a sensible person. Your prince is about to go on an expedition, and he must be thinking of you in his heart. You should also cherish yourself. This is the most important thing."

"Yes, Sisi will. Your Majesty also left me a team of people, and Murong Bo will also stay." Shen Qinglan said.

"Your Majesty is thoughtful. By the way... I heard that the Queen Mother is unwell. How is she doing now?" Grandma asked.

"I just sent someone to Zhanghua Palace today. The Queen Mother's health has improved a lot." Shen Qinglan said.

"That's good."
