It was impossible to go from the capital to Jinling and back in ten days.
But Li Qing didn't bargain. He went out first and talked about it later. He just tried his best to hurry up this time.
~
Li Qing laid a soft mattress on the carriage and prepared some fruits and snacks, "Hong'er, we have to travel day and night, it will be very hard."
"Children are not afraid of hardship." He patted his chest and said, "If godfather gets tired, I will drive the horse."
In his mind, driving a carriage only requires a wave of the whip, which is not difficult at all.
Li Qing smiled: "Sit down, let's go."
"okay."
…
Li Qing changed horses without rest, day and night, almost never stopping. Even so, it took him ten days to reach Jinling.
Li Qing handed the little guy over to his biological parents, paid homage to his master, and then returned to the capital.
Zhang Slutty said, "I'll go with you."
"Ah?" Li Qing was quite surprised, "Master, what are you doing there?"
"Stealing the "Yongle Dadian"!" Zhang Sloppy chuckled, "How could I miss such an interesting thing?"
Li Qing smiled happily and said: "That would be even better. With Master here, the efficiency will definitely be higher."
"That goes without saying." Zhang sloppily rubbed his hands, already looking forward to it, "Let's bring some more fakes."
"Disciple, we are pressed for time. Let's talk about it later." Li Qing said, "I want to rush back to the capital as soon as possible."
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "Why are you so anxious? Did something happen in the court?"
"No, the little emperor granted me ten days' leave. If I exceed the deadline for too long, my money will be deducted."
"That's too much!" Zhu Yunwen stood up for Li Qingming and asked, "How much did he deduct?"
"Two years' salary."
"Two years..." Zhu Yunwen did the math and said funnyly: "It's not much money, and our family doesn't lack this."
Li Qing shook his head: "It's different. Working for free makes me feel unmotivated."
"..."
Zhang said sloppily: "If that's the case, you can go back first, and I will rush over slowly with the fake."
"That's fine." Li Qing instructed, "Master, please bring some money. Now there is almost no requirement for road guides. However, if you really want to get on the line, it is really impossible without road guides. You are not a court official, so you have to use money to clear the way." .”
"I know that." Zhang Sloppy nodded, "You go back first, I will be there soon."
"Hey, okay." Li Qing smiled and said, "Master, junior brother, I'll go back first."
Zhu Yunwen nodded: "I'll send it to senior brother."
As soon as they left the house, they saw Xiao Li Hong's parents across the street and brought their son over.
Seeing Li Qing going out, Li's father was surprised and said:
"Brother Li, are you leaving?"
"Well, I still have a lot of things to do, so I have to get back as soon as possible."
Li's father said embarrassedly: "I wanted Hong'er to get closer to Brother Li, but I didn't expect that it would cause trouble for Brother Li."
"It's not really a trouble. I'm having a great time getting along with the little guy these days." Li Qing smiled and stepped forward, leaning towards little Li Hong and said, "The godfather is gone."
Little Li Hong said reluctantly: "Goodbye, godfather. You must be back during the Chinese New Year. We have hooked up before."
"Well, I will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year." He touched the little guy's head, got on his horse, whipped up his horse, and said, "Drive~"
"Goodbye, godfather." Xiao Lihong's voice gradually faded away.
…
Li Qing was very fast. Riding alone, he rushed back to the capital in less than seven days.
After hurriedly arriving at the palace and checking in, Li Qing was about to go to Baoyuan Bureau, but was grabbed by Zhu Qizhen.
"Sir, have you forgotten something?"
"What?" Li Qing looked puzzled.
Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "You are indeed lying to me."
Li Qing was startled and suddenly said: "Oh, I remembered it, no problem. Is the Queen free?"
Zhu Qizhen said in a low voice: "Of course, Xiao Linzi, go and call the queen over."
"Yes." Xiao Huangmen agreed and hurried away.
About a quarter of an hour later, Queen Qian came in wearing regular clothes.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." With foreign ministers present, Queen Qian was very considerate and made a grand ceremony with the little maid.
"Without any courtesy, why are you being so polite?" Zhu Qizhen stepped forward with a smile and helped her sit down. "Mr. Li knows medical skills, let him help you take a look."
"Mr. Li knows medical skills?" Queen Qian looked at Li Qing.
"I know something." Li Qing nodded, then raised his robe and saluted, "Wei Chen has seen..."
"No gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qing moved freely, stopped immediately, stepped forward and said, "May I give you my Majesty's pulse first?"
Queen Qian nodded and stretched out her wrist.
Although she wore a red hijab when she got married, she still knew that Li Qing was the wedding envoy. In addition, her husband often mentioned it. She had not seen Li Qing a few times, but she was quite familiar with him.
I know that although this person is only a seventh-grade general, he is her husband's loyal minister.
"Sorry to trouble Li Qing's family." Queen Qian said politely.
Li Qing smiled: "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
As he spoke, he put his hand on his wrist, lowered his eyebrows and squinted his eyes habitually...
Zhu Qizhen was extremely nervous, but he did not dare to disturb Li Qing's pulse diagnosis and paced back and forth nervously.
After a long time, Li Qing withdrew his hand and frowned. gòйЪ.ōΓg
"Sir, how are you?" Zhu Qizhen became even more nervous when he saw that he was still in the same condition after checking his pulse.
"This..." Li Qing did not answer, but said to Queen Qian, "My Lady, please excuse me, but before you left the cabinet... were you in good health?"
Queen Qian understood the subtext and nodded with a blushing face.
That's right, this little queen was obviously drugged from time to time, no wonder she couldn't get pregnant... Li Qing nodded lightly.
"Sir, what's going on?" Zhu Qizhen was really anxious.
Li Qing glanced around.
"Everyone, stand down!" Zhu Qizhen said.
"Yes." Xiao Huangmen and Zhen'er, who followed Queen Qian in, all retreated.
"Can we talk now?"
Li Qing nodded: "Let me tell you the conclusion first. Your Majesty is not sick in the first place."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Qizhen looked confused, "You mean I'm sick?"
"Your Majesty is in good health." Queen Qian added in a low voice, trying to respect her husband.
Li Qing sighed and said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you straight, the empress was given a drug that made her unable to conceive."
"What?!" Zhu Qizhen sat up in shock, followed by disbelief and boundless anger.
"Your Majesty, please don't get excited." Li Qing comforted him.
Queen Qian acted relatively calmly. She was stunned for a while, and then became a little enlightened.
"Who is it?" Zhu Qi Zhen said angrily, "Xiao Qian, tell me who it is, I will destroy her nine tribes."
There's no need to guess, it's obviously your mother... Li Qing rolled his eyes.
Queen Qian shook her head slightly: "I don't know, either."
As he said that, he looked at Li Qing and said, "Did you make a mistake, sir?"
She didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Li Qing secretly sighed: Keeping things quiet will only harm yourself.
He just smiled and looked at Zhu Qizhen, "Your Majesty, this matter is not difficult to guess. You should be able to think of it."
Zhu Qizhen was stunned. After a moment, he figured it out.
A handsome face turned ferocious: "Okay, you make me lose my son, and I'll make you lose my father."
Sun Zhong must die, no one can keep him!
In fact, the reason for the current situation is not that Mrs. Sun wants to kill off her son's wife, but that Mr. Qian and Mr. Sun have different intentions.
If Qian was like Zhen'er, her son would have run away long ago.
Mrs. Sun wanted to support a daughter-in-law who was devoted to her to rise to power, and then maintain her position for a long time.
In this era, especially for the royal family, if you have no heirs, even if you are the head wife, it will be difficult for you to achieve great things.
Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he trembled. He didn't expect that Sun could do such a despicable thing.
Li Qing has been exposed to politics for a long time, so he is somewhat used to it.
Wu Zetian even killed her own children. People in the political field are not unacceptable no matter how vicious they are.
It can only be said that Mrs. Sun is an 'ambitious' woman.
She may not have any outrageous thoughts, but her intention to control the entire harem is obvious!
After a while, Zhu Qizhen regained his senses and asked urgently: "Sir, what about the Queen...?"
"It's very difficult." Li Qing said truthfully, "The probability of the queen having an heir is very low. Even if she is pregnant, it will be difficult to keep her."
Zhu Qizhen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and Queen Qian's face turned pale.
"Sir, just tell me if it's possible?" Zhu Qizhen said with red eyes.
"It's still possible." Li Qing said.
"That's good." Zhu Qizhen looked much better and took the queen's hand, "Don't worry about the small money, we will have a son."
"Yes." Queen Qian nodded in despair and forced a smile.
Zhu Qizhen turned around and asked, "Sir, do you have any good prescriptions?"
"It's not necessary for the time being." Li Qing said, "Just make sure the Queen's diet is healthy. After a while, when her physical condition improves, I will prescribe medicine."
After a pause, "Your Majesty, it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible. The royal family must be kind to mothers and filial to sons."
"I..." Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth, "I understand."
