Chapter 99: Descendants The Queen Mother looked slightly startled and looked sideways.
The woman in front of her looked calm and open a moment ago. She didn't say a few words, but why did she seem to be showing her claws? It's not like a young woman in her mid-[-]s has never had an easy time with men.
Back in King Yong's Palace, didn't she sleep with His Majesty every day?
There has long been no innocence between them.
To be honest, the only one who should be angry is come I've been sleeping for several months without any movement?
Could it be that she is unable to have children? The Queen Mother looked at Jiang He's waist and hips with a critical look.
It's not quite round.
"If there is nothing else, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I will go back." Jiang He said on his knees.
"Why are you leaving now?" The Queen Mother looked a little confused, "Your Majesty is waiting for you at Zhiyang Palace."
Wait?Are you waiting to have sex? There was a mocking smile in Jiang He's eyes, and he said lightly: "Really? I don't know that the Queen Mother is so tolerant to Your Majesty and allows him to have lewdness in the harem."
Entering a relationship before you are married and putting sexual intercourse first is not fornication.
The Queen Mother never expected that Jiang He would not only reject her kindness, but also dare to contradict her like this.
The corners of her lips were slightly open, her anger was building up, she threw the jade in her hand and shouted: "Ms. Jiang, don't you know good from evil!"
"Your Highness the Queen Mother," Jiang He took a step forward and said without being humble or arrogant, "do you know that Dayong still has to build canals, fight against the six kingdoms, and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Yong ancestors? You might as well ask Your Majesty why he Please return to the Yong Kingdom. The matter of the heir has nothing to do with me. There are many people who can give birth to children, so you can send them to Zhiyang Palace every night. I am very busy, so I will take my leave."
The Queen Mother sat down holding her heart, her face as pale as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Yes, she only remembered that Zhao Zheng treated Jiang He differently, but she forgot about Jiang He's other role.
The greatest role of this woman is not to give birth to children, but to assist His Majesty in wiping out the Six Kingdoms.
She is the descendant of a military strategist that the Seven Kingdoms are competing for, and is a popular figure.
But who told her to get Zhao Zheng's favor? Since Zheng'er wanted her, she had no reason to refuse.
What's more, Your Majesty doesn't have much time left to live.
"Ms. Jiang," the Queen Mother said simply, "You may not know that Your Majesty—"
"Mother!"
A thunderous and angry voice cut off the Queen Mother's words, and Zhao Zheng's figure appeared at the door of the palace.
Although the dark blue Yuanduan court uniform is light and thin, it gives people a sense of solemnity and gold and ink, he kicked off the sulfur pattern embroidered on the edge of his clothes, and his solemn face and vigorous pace made everything in the palace eclipse.
Zhao Zheng strode in, with his wide sleeves thrown away and his posture upright. He stood still and looked at the Queen Mother, and sneered in a deep voice: "Don't you know that the canal repair is at a critical moment? If there is no serious matter, don't call Princess Anguo back to the palace."
The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Zheng with wide eyes.
Look, he said "go back to the palace". In his heart, there was only this one woman.
It's better to give up as soon as possible, this woman is not willing to give birth to a boy and a girl for you.
"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother stood up and walked around several cases, walking lightly, and glanced at Jiang He and said, "The Ai family called Princess Anguo back, but they were thinking that the princess's biological parents had died, and the king of Qi was thousands of miles away. I wanted to ask Ask her what she thinks about life-long events. Now that she knows the answer, Princess Anguo can go about her business with peace of mind, and Your Majesty can marry a princess from another country in a serious manner."
In fact, the Queen Mother did not need to say it again, Zhao Zheng had already heard it clearly outside the palace.
Otherwise, he would not have stopped the Queen Mother from saying that he was not going to die soon.
He didn't need anyone's sympathy or charity, especially hers.
"Mother and queen don't have to worry about marriage for me," Zhao Zheng's eyes lingered on Jiang He for a moment, and then he said solemnly, "I will give an explanation to my mother and queen about the affairs of my descendants."
The Queen Mother then moved away as if she was victorious, accompanied by the chambermaids and palace maids. Soon, only Jiang He and Zhao Zheng were left in the palace.
The atmosphere between them was a little strange.
Everyone seems to have a lot to say in their hearts, but they don’t know where to start.
Finally, Zhao Zheng said: "It's late at night, I will ask Su Yu to take you back."
Su Yu is the person Zhao Zheng trusts most, and he is also the commander of the Wei Wei Army and Lang Zhongling Army.
Jiang He knew that Zhao Zheng only trusted three people, Li Wenzhou, Zong Jun and Su Yu.
Zong Jun has followed her, and Su Yu has also used it to protect her.
Sometimes you don't have to say what you care about someone, just look at what he is willing to do for her.
Jiang He said softly "Hmm" and walked out. Her sleeves lightly touched Zhao Zheng's court uniform, and he stopped.
"Zhao Zheng," Jiang He's voice was gentle but hesitant, "How are you going to explain the matter of your heir to the Queen Mother?"
The distance was so close that Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smell the familiar body fragrance on her body.
How to explain?
In short, you don’t want to have children.
A child is enough to trap a woman and make her stay at home day and night.
She will become tired, her thoughts will become rigid, and she will grow old day by day in the trivial matters that she has no time to take care of.
This way she wouldn't be able to realize her dream, both of their dreams.
"Don't worry," Zhao Zhengdao said, "It's not like the clan doesn't have any children. We can just adopt one. If it doesn't work, Ahe, didn't you say you want to introduce the princesses of the Six Kingdoms to me?"
He once said that the seven countries have been married for 500 years, and each is only for profit, and he is also for profit.
Zhao Zheng thought he could be like this forever.
When he first got married to Qi, he agreed to the marriage without even seeing Jiang Yuheng's him, he just wanted to marry a princess of the other person looks like and what his temperament is are not considered at all.
The worst case scenario is getting married and hanging up at the Yong's palace is very large, and he is sure that no one who hates him will ever see him.
But since when did he know that women are different from each other.
Since when did he want that woman to be in his arms forever, no one else would want her.
Maybe it's because he lacks sincere feelings and the love that can make him trust.
Or maybe it's because she is so similar to him, as if she is the lost soul of the other half.
Zhao Zheng waited for Jiang He's answer.
When she says she doesn’t want anyone else, I will give birth to you.
Or can you wait for me?
But Jiang He just nodded slightly and said calmly: "Okay."
Zhao Zheng's heart dropped, but he managed to keep a smile on his lips and called out: "Su Yu, send the princess back."
After the scorching heat comes the beginning of autumn, and it is expected that Han Canal will be completed in another half month.
It was originally estimated that the construction period would take ten years, but due to the arrival of Mo Zhe and the large-scale investment from the Yong State, it was actually completed nine years ahead of schedule.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a thing was a miracle of divine blessing.
This is a major event worthy of national celebration.
One of the courtiers whom the Empress Dowager trusted suggested to her that on the day when the water in the canal was unblocked, she should go to Tianyan Mountain with her family members to worship to heaven, praying that the water in the canal would be unobstructed and the weather in Yong would be smooth.
Since the Queen Mother had not left the palace for a long time and had no chance to approach other courtiers, she readily agreed.
Zhao Zheng was noncommittal about this matter.
The courtier talked too much, so he said that since this was the case, let his mother arrange the matter.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed and took the opportunity to win over the courtiers while setting up an altar next to Tianyan Mountain.
The arrival of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty is of course a big event.
Su Yu had screened the identities of Xiuqu Minzhuang and soldiers a few days in advance to confirm that there were no spies involved.
Those who had committed crimes in their clan and were working here as "prisoners" were also arranged to go to Luoshui far away to avoid contact with the monarch.
This place is far away from the capital, so of course we need food after the festival.
Su Yu brought food and water from Kyoto, and detached some manpower from the imperial kitchen and major restaurants and restaurants in Kyoto to Zongjun was away, he had to arrange for his servants to test the poison for all meals.
Su Yu was so busy that he couldn't help but ask Jiang He when Zongjun would be back.
"Almost." Jiang He nodded to him, with a smile on his face, but with sadness hidden in his eyes, he said lightly, "It will only take more than half a month."
In her hand she held the letter Zongjun wrote to her.
The letter was delivered as quickly as possible.
They changed people and horses every fifty miles, without resting day and night, so they were much faster than Zongjun.
"Commander Su," Jiang He said to Su Yu when he left, "please call Mr. Chen Jingshi over. I have something to arrange."
Due to lack of manpower, Chen Jingshi was also assigned a job by Su Yu and asked him to be responsible for the drinks at the ceremony.
It is a drink that the king, queen mother and ministers of the court all drink.
"Have you seen the contents of the letter?"
At the same time, in the palace of King Yong in Kyoto, Zhao Zheng asked.
The doctor nodded and said: "Zongjun is very cautious. He has arranged people all the way to deliver it to Hanqu. The humble post finally persuaded one of the postmen to take a look and confirm that Chen Jingshi was checked and that Chen Jingshi was not trustworthy. "
Zhao Zheng does not need to know the specific content of the letter, he only needs to know whether he is trustworthy, that is enough.
"Is his family here?"
"Yes." The doctor nodded, "Looks like he's doing his job."
Regardless of whether they are responsible or not, they cannot be retained.
Zhao Zheng looked out with a cold look in his eyes, and the doctor immediately understood and said: "I'll do it for my humble duty."
The doctor ordered the army to retreat, and Zhao Zheng stood up and walked to the entrance of the palace.
Autumn is here, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in Yong Temple is blooming.
Last autumn, Jiang He left him.
Fortunately, she is here this year.
I just hope she doesn't get angry because of her decision.
She is too soft-hearted and will leave opportunities for others if she is not ruthless.
He is different.
The people who deserve to be killed and the grass that deserves to be chopped off should not be left alone.
