"The prince is stupid. What did he do to the Shen family in Wantian County? And Magistrate Sun, what's the point of killing them? He's just doing something useless and alarming the Night King."
"What we have to do now is to recuperate our strength. When the emperor's eldest grandson reaches the age of two or three and can ascend the throne, we will help him ascend the throne. You will be the empress dowager and I will be the regent. At that time, we will deal with the Night King again.
Isn’t it easy?”
Charlotte said reluctantly, "Isn't this too long? I can't wait to take their lives.
"As I said before, start slowly and don't act too hastily." Wei Xuanyuan said, "Even if you don't want to wait as long as three years, you have to wait for one or two years, right? You can't hold an unweaned baby to the throne, right?'
"One or two years at most." Charlotte gritted her teeth and said, "Within one or two years, I must see the Night King and Night Princess die, otherwise I can't bear it."
"Okay, I promise you." Wei Xuanyuan replied, "During this period, we must recharge our batteries and be sure to cultivate a force strong enough to deal with the Night King in case of emergency."
When Xia Luoluo heard this, his face turned cold, "If this princess remembers correctly, didn't you say before that you were strong enough to deal with the Red Flame Camp?"
Wei Xuanyuan looked solemn.
"This alone is not enough. The Night King is good at fighting. If he really wants to rebel against the Red Flame Battalion, it will be difficult to deal with. What's more, the Southwest General Wei Liang is still his man.'
"During this period, you have been advising the prince to calm down the Night King first and not to have a direct conflict with him. When the time comes, defeat him in one fell swoop and prevent him from having any chance to fight back."
Charlotte was silent after hearing this. She originally wanted to break up the Night King and Night Princess Shen Yuyu. If she didn't have a head-on conflict with the Night King, wouldn't this be possible?
"What? You don't agree?" Wei Xuanyuan saw that Xia Luoluo didn't say anything, so he turned over and pressed forward, "You can endure it for a while, and you will be honored for a lifetime. If you still can't let go of the Night King, I will give him his head in front of you.
"Hey~~Who wants him to behead~~" Charlotte couldn't help but feel a little happy when she thought of the Night King kneeling under her pomegranate skirt and letting her play with her, "He humiliated this princess back then, if one day he falls to
In the hands of this princess, I will tie a chain around his neck and treat him like a pig or a dog~~'
"As long as you persuade the prince to endure it for a year or two, I will definitely do what you want. Of course, my people will also persuade the queen to give up the idea of making the emperor's eldest grandson the crown prince. The throne of the Great Zhou Kingdom will definitely be yours and mine~
~”
After a pause, Wei Xuanyuan added, "But everything is not so absolute. If there is an opportunity during this period, I will naturally seize it and eradicate the Night King and Night Princess in one fell swoop."
"Okay." Charlotte also knows that nothing can be rushed. After all, they have been racking their brains during this period but have not been able to achieve their goals. They really need to plan for it slowly.'
After staying in Zhaoshu Palace until the fifth watch, Wei Xuanyuan quietly left the palace.
After Wei Xuanyuan left the palace, he went directly back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He now has a new identity in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Butler Huang, and lives in the courtyard where Zhou Qian lived before.
Now, almost everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion belongs to Zhou Qian, but only Zhou Qian knows the true identity of Butler Huang.
At this moment in the Linghua Pavilion of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Lingling, who was imprisoned here, had a big belly that was about to give birth and could not sit or lie peacefully.
In just a few months, she seemed to have changed into a completely different person. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, a few dazzling white hairs actually appeared on her head.
Ever since the news of her parents' family being murdered reached her ears, she felt worse than death every day.
It was said that her family died at the hands of gambler Shen Yingming, but she had another terrible guess in her mind. The murder of her family might have been caused by Zhou Qian.
She knew Zhou Qian's secret, and originally wanted to use this secret to exchange for countless glory and wealth, but she never thought that she could not see the sinister nature of people's hearts, and that Zhou Qian would treat her so insidiously without caring about his old love.
She only wanted to climb to a high position to avenge her sister Shen Youyou, but she never thought that her sister's revenge had not yet been avenged, but her family was involved and her family was brutally wiped out.
Shen Lingling thought about it and wiped her tears with self-blame and guilt.
After she was tired of crying, she leaned on the bed and fell asleep, holding her huge belly.
I don't know how long I slept, but just as I was drowsily asleep, I heard the door creak open.
"Go and take her pulse to see when she will give birth." Zhou Qian led a doctor in. Shen Lingling woke up when she heard the voice, got up from the bed with difficulty, held her waist and knelt down towards Zhou Qian. , hugging his thigh and bursting into tears.
"Master, Master Lingling knows that he is wrong. Lingling doesn't want anything. She is content to just stay by Master's side and serve her. I beg Master to forgive me." As soon as these days came around, Shen Lingling knelt down and begged miserably. , hoping to gain Zhou Qian's pity in exchange for a way out.
Her whole family was wiped out, and she would probably die once the child in her belly was born.
"Get up." Looking at Shen Lingling kneeling on the ground with pear blossoms in the rain, Zhou Qian seemed to feel a little distressed. He helped Shen Lingling up from the ground and said in a good voice, "Lie down on the bed and ask the doctor. Look at the child in your belly, don't worry, as long as you give birth to the child well, I will still support you as my wife."
"Sir, Lingling is not your wife, but your mistress. She will serve you wholeheartedly." Shen Lingling dares to expect the position of a wife? She may not even be able to save her life.
Although Zhou Qian spoke well during these days and advised her to take good care of the baby every time he came back, he never let her out. How could she dare to think about the position of the wife? She just wanted to save her life, so she spoke sincerely and well-behaved. I just hope Zhou Qian can believe her and spare her life
"I am the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty. How can I be a person who breaks his word? Don't worry, the position of wife will definitely belong to you." Zhou Qian said it as if it was true. After Shen Lingling looked at it for a few times, she felt that it seemed true. I felt somewhat at ease again.
With Zhou Qian's support, Shen Lingling got into bed with her belly full and quietly cooperated with the doctor to examine her.
"It will be full term in about ten days." The doctor said after the examination, "However, it is possible that the baby will be born a few days early. We need to find the midwife first to ensure it is safe."
"Okay, I will make arrangements." Zhou Qian comforted Shen Lingling for a few words, and then left the room with the doctor.
Shen Lingling was also extremely desperate. She was about to give birth in about ten days. After the child in her belly was born, her life would probably come to an end.
How old is she? She is as old as a flower. How can she be willing to wait for death?
But looking at the nailed-down window and the locked door, she felt nothing but despair.
She was weeping when she suddenly heard Zhou Qian's voice faintly coming from outside. Shen Lingling hurriedly moved to the door with her big belly and put her ear against the door to eavesdrop.
Zhou Qian's voice came from outside the hospital, instructing his subordinates: "Go to the countryside to find a stable woman. Don't reveal her whereabouts. We will dispose of her after the delivery."
After hearing these words, Shen Lingling felt like a blow to the head, her head was buzzing and she collapsed to the ground.
