However, the housekeeper quickly calmed down, looked at Princess Qixia politely, and asked respectfully: "This is..."
"She is Princess Qixia from Mobei. She is temporarily living in the eldest princess's mansion." Qi Jin didn't want to explain any more and just took Jun'er's hand and walked inside. "While Princess Qixia and Jun'er are staying in the princess's mansion, Please take good care of them and give them instructions later. No one should neglect their mother and son."
Mother and son?
The stewardess stirred up another huge wave in her heart. Princess Qixia and the child who looked exactly like the prince were mother and son. So... it couldn't be that the prince had an affair with the princess from Mobei and then gave birth to a child, right?
It's over, it's over.
If the Marquis and the eldest princess know about this, they will have to die. There are so many noble girls in the Chu country, how good would it be to marry them back? I want to have as many children as I want, but how can I get it together with the princess of the Mobei barbarians?
Chu State and Mobei have been at war for many years, and they are mortal enemies.
The prince actually brought the enemy into his home.
Qi Jin ignored the rich psychological activities of the steward and placed Princess Qixia in Feiyu Pavilion, which has an excellent environment.
It is adjacent to a waterside pavilion, with beautiful scenery and gurgling water. It is a place where people can relax physically and mentally.
"Although my mother stays at the border all year round, the housekeeper, nanny and maids of this mansion are all here, just like when my mother was at home before." Qi Jin took her into the attic, "I will send some maids here later. , take care of the daily life of you mother and son."
"Thank you."
"No need." Qi Jin shook his head, "I just want to talk to you."
"Didn't we just talk about it on the carriage?"
"We were talking about private matters just now, and now we are talking about state affairs." Qi Jin carried the child and walked to the window to sit down. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to want to be the Queen of Mobei."
"Why?" Princess Qixia raised her eyebrows, "Because you don't want to get married?"
Qi Jin shook his head: "That's not the reason. My father holds the military power of the Chu Kingdom. If you become the Queen of Mobei, it will be equivalent to our son having a grandfather to support him on the left and a mother as the king on the right. He has blood flowing from his body. The blood of half the people in Mobei, this is destined to attract the attention of everyone in the future."
Princess Qixia was silent for a long time and had to admit that Qi Jin was right.
No matter whether the two of them get married or not, they can't change the child's life experience.
If she becomes the Queen of Mobei, she will definitely need military power, but it is not easy for Mobei to get Chu State to trust her completely. Coupled with the military power of Marquis Zhongyi, even if Rong Cang can trust her, what about the next generation?
When what you possess is enough to threaten the imperial power, it doesn't matter whether you have any dissent. What's important is that once you have dissent, it is very likely to subvert the imperial power.
"So you want me to give up?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Qi Jin was a little confused. "Letting you give up will only show my selfishness. It's not easy for you to plan for many years. I have no right to ask you to give up these things, but what is in front of you is real." difficult choices.”
"Why don't you ask your father to give up his military power?" Princess Qixia asked back, "If you really think about your children, you can ask Marquis Zhongyi to give up. As long as Mobei and Chu state cease war, the generals under the prince's command will be enough to withstand the troops of Southern Qi. Ma, your father is getting old, and the eldest princess has been at the border for so long. She has had enough of the wind and sand, so she might as well come back and entertain her grandchildren."
Qi Jin looked at her without saying a word.
"Or you can suggest that the prince leads an army to conquer Mobei. In this way, I won't be able to be the queen, and I won't have to hand over the map for judgment." Qixia suggested, "You can also leave me in Chu State and let me If I can’t go back to Mobei, I can only support my husband and raise my children, and I can’t show my face in public.”
Qi Jin choked: "I didn't mean that."
Princess Qixia stood in front of the window, looking at the lush greenery outside. Her voice was calm and calm: "If I have no choice, I can only accept the fact. As long as there is still a chance to choose, I don't want to leave my fate to others." In hand."
She was fed up with the suffering and helplessness of being unable to control herself, and she no longer wanted to live by looking at other people's faces. She just wanted to have freedom and the right to decide her own destiny.
Qi Jin suddenly didn't know what to say.
He knew that what he just said was unfair to her.
He is a man and an only child. He has been loved by three thousand people since he was a child, but she grew up in humiliation and cold eyes. She has long been fed up with the pain and helplessness of having her destiny controlled by others. She finally managed to survive a little bit. Hope, how could you selfishly ask her to give up?
Besides, no matter what standpoint, he had no right to ask her to do this.
"Jun'er is going to sleep again." Princess Qixia's eyes fell on the child's face. She saw that his eyelids were twitching and his brows were slightly furrowed, hiding hidden worries. "Can you go and invite the miracle doctor now?"
Qi Jin handed the child to her, told her not to worry, and quickly turned around and walked out.
The sun has set, and the darkness is gradually closing in.
As soon as Qi Jin stepped out of the courtyard, he saw two people led by the steward, Rong Cang and Ji Ziyi.
"Your Majesty." The stewardess saluted, "Your Highness is here."
Qi Jin hummed: "You go down first."
"yes."
Qi Jin saw the ceremony and quickly took Rong Cang and Ji Ziyi back to Feiyu Pavilion. Princess Qixia was guarding the bedside. When she heard footsteps coming from outside, she got up and walked out, only to see Rong Cang and Qi Jin leaving. Come in.
"This is Doctor Ji." Qi Jin briefly introduced Princess Qixia, "Let Doctor Ji take a look at the child first."
Ji Ziyi walked to the bed, took the child's pulse, and carefully checked Jun'er's pupils and skin. After many attempts, Jun'er showed no signs of waking up, which made people a little worried.
Ji Ziyi asked: "Does he sleep like this on the road?"
Princess Qixia hummed and said, "He is still young after all the hard work of traveling and riding. I thought it was just the child's body that couldn't handle it that was why he was always tired."
"This is a 'drunk spell'. The symptom is drowsiness. At first, you have to sleep for at least six or seven hours a day. For children, it may be longer. It is normal to sleep for eight or nine hours. The time you wake up is short, and you are sleepy. It lasts a long time.”
Qi Jin hurriedly asked: "Are there any other consequences?"
"Without an antidote, the longer the poisoning lasts, the longer he sleeps every day. After ten days, he will probably be in a deep sleep until his organs fail little by little and he will never wake up again."
Qi Jin's face was cold: "How many days has he been poisoned?"
Qixia frowned: "Four days."
Qi Jin looked at Ji Ziyi: "Can you solve it?"
Ji Ziyi nodded: "Yes."
Princess Qixia breathed a sigh of relief: "Will there be any sequelae?"
"That's not true." Ji Ziyi said in a calm and confident tone, "After all, someone called me a miracle doctor. I dare not insult this ridiculous compliment."
Hearing this, Qi Jin felt relieved and bowed deeply to Ji Ziyi: "Thank you to the miracle doctor for saving your life. I am deeply grateful. If you need anything, just give me the order and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Prince Qi's attitude is gratifying." Ji Ziyi curled her lips, "I think when I detoxified the prince, the prince was only jealous, and he still owes me 10,000 taels of medical treatment fee."
