Chapter 424 Heng'er
There were several court officials who Rong Que and He Chao had privately discussed several times and would be dealt with in detail after Su Qingqing returned.
Taking this opportunity, He Chao informed Wang Yu in advance. It happened that these court officials were among those who disobeyed orders. Wang Yu, adhering to the principle of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, gave the order without saying a word.
"The Queen has given so much, but you are not even willing to summarize your experience. If that's the case, then tell the Queen in person why you are unwilling to write."
With a wave of his hand, palace guards immediately came forward and took the target person away.
Those who have already sat down and started writing their reflections secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gloated over the misfortune, and watched the show from the other side of the river.
Those who were still making a fuss but had not yet been escorted by the guards sat down quickly, so fast that they would rather hit their tailbones and hurt them than let anyone take them away.
As for the target persons being taken away, no matter how they pulled, struggled, cursed and accused, the guards were like tools without emotions. They said nothing, had no expression on their faces, and dragged the persons away directly.
Among them, two are the heads of the eight major families.
The main thing controlled by the Eight Great Families was food. Now that the food problem had been solved, the court was not so wary of them anymore and took this opportunity to put them directly in the Ministry of Justice's prison.
The emperor and empress with two spoons had no idea what was going on in the Golden Palace .
When Su Qingqing opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. She tried to turn over in a daze, but felt a hot source behind her. She laughed muffledly, "Why are you still here? Don't we have to discuss matters today?"
It was Rong Que's custom to hold meetings in the imperial study after the morning court session every day.
Rong Que had just woken up, his voice was still hoarse, "I didn't attend the morning court today..."
Su Qingqing was stunned and moved her body, which was a little numb from the pressure of her stomach after a night's sleep, especially her legs. She was so tired that she had not moved much during the whole night, and now her entire side legs were numb.
She lay flat on her back and looked at Rong Que from the side. "Then I will be a sinner for all eternity. It's only been a short time since the beginning, and the king has stopped attending court in the morning?"
During the days and nights when Su Qingqing didn't come back, Rong Que was often awakened by nightmares. Touching the empty bed, his heart was filled with emptiness and pain.
When I opened my eyes today, I saw Su Qingqing holding my arms, and I felt so at ease.
He rubbed his nose against the top of Su Qingqing's head and kissed the corner of her eye. Rong Que said lazily, "I hope the baby in your belly will be born soon. After he is born, I will ask the three tutors to train him and try to let him take over as soon as possible so that his father, the emperor and his mother can live a happy life as soon as possible."
Su Qingqing was now heavy and it was not easy for her to turn over. She smiled twice and said, "Did Bai Er make any movement?"
Rong Que stroked Su Qingqing's shoulders with his fingers. The jade-like skin in his hands made people feel distracted. "He Chao said yesterday that there are already traces. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be results today."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned over and supported his arms on both sides of Su Qingqing, "Let me kiss you."
Su Qingqing was stunned, then couldn't help laughing, "Just kiss me, do you need to report it? Why haven't I seen you report it before..."
Before he finished saying the word "tell", Rong Que pressed his lips down.
After a solid and passionate kiss, Rong Que let out a loud sigh, turned over and jumped to the ground, "What a pleasure!"
"You're sick!" Su Qingqing looked at him with amusement and turned to the other side.
As Rong Que picked up his clothes and put them on, he said, "I am sick. I have a disease that will catch fire all over my body if I lie down on the bed again."
Su Qingqing lowered her eyes and then chuckled.
Rong Que glared at her and was about to speak when Jixiang's voice reporting from outside came in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Highness has arrived."
Your Highness?
Which prince?
Su Qingqing and Rong Que stared at each other in shock, and then Su Qingqing turned over and shouted outside, "Heng'er?"
Jixiang hummed, "Yes."
Rong Que: ...
The brother-in-law he had sent away with great difficulty is here again?
Rong Que didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why is he here again?"
This time, it was not Jixiang who answered Rong Que, but a very unhappy male voice, "My sister is about to give birth, why can't I come? You can let her get pregnant..."
Su Heng's voice sounded outside.
But he stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence, probably because he was stopped by Jixiang.
The smile on Rong Que's face froze visibly.
Su Qingqing is afraid of these things.
It was true that she was pregnant, but she went to the Northwest not because of Rong Que's request or anything. She went there willingly and on her own initiative.
For one thing, she knew that she was the best person to solve the problem.
Secondly, she is not the kind of woman who can settle down at home.
Although she is pregnant, she doesn't want to confine herself to this world because of the pregnancy. She can't say that she has to lose the career she loves because of her pregnancy, even if it's for ten months.
This is a trade-off between the two sides.
But in the eyes of outsiders, this is Rong Que's incompetence.
Su Qingqing was afraid that such words would reach Rong Que's ears and make him feel uncomfortable and have other thoughts. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen on the first day she came back.
These are the words spoken by my own younger brother.
Su Qingqing turned over and got up from the ground, without even bothering to put on her shoes, and walked towards Rong Que in two steps.
After a brief moment of pain in his heart, Rong Que noticed Su Qingqing's actions. Seeing that she was not wearing shoes, he quickly stepped forward and picked her up.
"Why did you come down without shoes?"
Su Qingqing hooked her arm around Rong Que's neck and looked at his face, "I'm not..."
Rong Que lowered his head and kissed her on the mouth, interrupting her, "I know."
Pause.
"I'm also afraid that you'd think too much. It's not easy for you to travel around while pregnant. If you still have to consider my emotions and my heart... I'm not so incompetent that I don't even understand your thoughts."
The word "incompetent" hurt Su Qingqing a little.
Rong Que leaned over and put her on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover her legs, stood up and kissed her eye, "Dear, I didn't think too much, I just feel distressed, distressed for your hard work and running around, and also... I miss you."
Su Qingqing looked at Rong Que's expression and was sure that what he said was true, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Que stood up and said, "Put on your clothes. I'll go see Heng'er."
When Rong Que opened the door and went out, Jixiang was standing in the corner of the yard and talking to Su Heng. Su Heng lowered his head, but his face showed obvious dissatisfaction.
Jixiang had a look of frustration on his face and stomped his feet hard.
Rong Que knew what the two were talking about without having to guess.
Originally he wanted to talk to Su Heng, but now was obviously not a good time.
"Your sister is awake. I have something else to do, so I'm afraid I can't have lunch with you. We'll have dinner together in the evening." Rong Que said gently to the person in the corner, then turned and left.
As soon as Rong Que left, Jixiang said angrily: "Your Highness, why don't you understand the Queen's intentions?"
