Chapter 308 Recruit Me
Originally, it was Su Qingqing who was coaxing Rong Que, but when Rong Que said this, looking at Rong Que's red eyes, Su Qingqing's defense was instantly broken!
"You are so annoying, why are you saying these things!"
Tears gushed out, Su Qingqing punched Rong Que twice, her heart was filled with sweetness, but she couldn't say what she meant.
"I'm pregnant now and I can't cry, but you picked on me."
Rong Que held the man in a restraint, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
As he spoke, his hand touched Su Qingqing's abdomen, "Be good, baby, don't cry. If you keep crying, the baby inside will kick you."
Rong Que has called Su Qingqing many nicknames, including Qingqing, Xiaoqing, and Su'er. When his love was deep, he also called her some unpleasant names.
But it was the first time I heard the word "baby".
Su Qingqing's already swollen heart began beating even faster under the stimulation of these few words.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never known what a gentle embrace is.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never known what care and concern means.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never known what passionate love is.
At this moment, she had .
The man who was holding her in his arms coaxed her in a low voice and called her baby.
Su Qingqing turned her body to one side, buried her face in Rong Que's lower abdomen, wrapped in his stiff court robe, and sobbed.
"Don't cry , or you'll go out with red eyes and nose. If General Zhao and Xiao Yu see you, they'll think I'm bullying you." Rong Que stroked Su Qingqing's back again and again, "Baby, what words have provoked you like this? Can you tell me? I'll make arrangements for it later."
When Su Qingqing heard the word "baby", her scalp felt numb.
Her eyes were red as she glared at Rong Que, "Shut up."
Rong Que was being naughty. He leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Okay, baby."
The carriage rumbled and the people inside were tired all the way until it returned to the capital city.
Just after passing the city gate, the team that was originally moving suddenly stopped. Rong Que lifted the curtain and looked outside. Ming Lu came over and reported, "Your Majesty, the residence of the Minister of Rites was burned down. The road ahead is a bit blocked."
Rong Que asked, "The house of the Minister of Rites was burned down, so why is it blocking Gulou Street?"
The guard standing next to him: ...
Isn't your focus a bit off?
Shouldn't your first reaction be how could the Minister of Rites' house be burned down?
Rong Que glanced at the guard: What's there to react to? I was the one who set the fire!
After being glanced at by Rong Que, the guard, who had been having some psychological activities, immediately looked at his nose and his heart.
Rong Que asked Ming Lu, "Is it just Gulou Street that is blocked, or are there other places blocked as well?"
Minglu said, "All the roads from the city gate back to the palace are blocked."
Rong Que sighed, "Then let's wait until the road is cleared. Where's the Minister of Rites?"
The Minister of Rites, who had been standing on the side in a state of panic since early morning, immediately popped up and said, "I am here."
He is about to collapse.
The plan that was well arranged, one thing after another, ended up being Su Qingqing's personal show, and those hundreds of vicious dogs were conscripted by Su Qingqing.
That would be fine, but his plan failed and then his house burned down?
I heard from the servant who came to deliver the letter that it was burned till not even a slag was left.
He Chao was standing next to the Minister of Rites and glanced at him calmly , "Tsk, what are you talking about? How come your house is burned down like this? Who did you offend recently?"
Originally, the Minister of Rites was still confused as to what the fire was about, but when He Chao explained it, he suddenly got a heads-up.
Could this fire be...
He lowered his head and glanced at Rong Que's carriage.
He Chao said in a cold voice: "It can burn an entire house to ashes, but there is no casualty in your house. The fire was set very accurately. It must be someone who knows your house very well. Otherwise, how come no one was injured?
Moreover, this fire is also weird, how come no one was burned to death? Did the fire eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures? "
As he spoke, He Chao suddenly looked straight at the Minister of Rites.
"If I were the arsonist, based on the grudge between us, I would burn a few people to vent my anger, especially your sons, so that you would have no descendants."
"He Chao!" The Minister of Rites was so stimulated by He Chao that he almost vomited blood.
His temples bulged, and he glared at He Chao angrily. He took a step forward and grabbed He Chao's collar.
He Chao raised his eyebrows, half provocatively and half lazily, "No one likes to listen to honest advice these days. They just like to listen to people coaxing them, but they don't even consider what benefits the people coaxing you can bring to you!"
The Minister of Rites stared at He Chao and said angrily: "What do you mean!"
He Chao was furious and spitted at his face. He Chao frowned in disgust, "What I mean is, why don't you go back and check on your family?
The way you act makes it easy for me to suspect that you deliberately burned your own house to cause a traffic jam and to keep His Majesty here."
The Minister of Rites came here just to ask Rong Que for leave and to rush back home immediately.
Unexpectedly, he was choked by He Chao's sarcastic words. He was so angry that his throat hurt. He pushed He Chao away and turned to Rong Que and said, "Your Majesty, I..."
Rong Que waved his hand, "Alright, go back and take a look at what's going on. Remember to report to me that you're safe."
The Minister of Rites thought to himself, how can there be peace when the house has been burned to ashes?
But he still responded respectfully.
But when he turned to leave, He Chao suddenly said to him: "Reporting safety means that you don't get angry and get hurt when you go back."
The Minister of Rites glared at He Chao fiercely and strode away.
If he stayed any longer , he was afraid he would not be able to resist punching someone.
How can there be such disgusting people in this world?
The Minister of Rites hurried home quickly. When he arrived in front of his mansion, he heard the howling of ghosts and wolves one after another, which made his scalp numb.
When I got closer, I finally saw the steward of the mansion.
When the steward saw him coming, he hurried forward with a gloomy face and said, "Master, you are finally back."
The Minister of Rites looked at the tragic scene before him and asked, "What's going on?"
The steward said, "This morning, when you were accompanying His Majesty and His Majesty out of the city for the enthronement ceremony, a fire suddenly broke out. The fire was so big that it could not be put out. Oil was poured on the burning area. By the time everyone realized that they could not use water to put out the fire, the fire had already burned out.
Fortunately, our backyard is connected to the garden of Duke Xue’s mansion, so the old lady, the ladies, and the young masters quickly moved to the back.
If not for this, we would all be burned to death in there today."
"The fire started at the door?" the steward said, and the Minister of Rites asked.
The steward shook his head. "It didn't start from the door, it started from the adults' study. The study is in the outer courtyard, and the outer courtyard was burned more severely. Oh, right..."
Having said this, the steward suddenly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve.
"This is what I found in the small garden when the fire started. Is this yours, sir? I remember that you searched for it for a long time a while ago but couldn't find it. I didn't expect it to be found in a big fire."
