Soon, in the princess's palace, a doctor carefully took Fang Baihua's pulse, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Doctor, how are you? Is the princess okay?" Song Hai said nervously.
"The prince is at ease, the princess is fine."
"How come you suddenly feel nauseous when you are fine? Why don't you check carefully?" Song Hai said worriedly.
"No need, Lord Hou, this is a normal reaction."
"Normal??" Song Hai was stunned.
"The princess is pregnant, so she will naturally feel uncomfortable," the doctor said with a smile.
"You, what did you say?" Song Hai was stunned and said in disbelief.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, the princess is pregnant," the doctor said again.
"I, I'm pregnant." Fang Baihua was also shocked.
"Okay, okay, great," Song Hai said happily, and quickly ran to Fang Baihua. Unable to hold himself back, he said, "Baihua..."
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis." Looking at the excited two people, Chunying and others beside her immediately said happily, not only because Fang Baihua was pregnant, but also because of having this child, Fang Baihua would definitely be even more favored when she arrived in Qi State.
They had all been to Qi State and knew how much the old lady valued the three generations of the Song family.
"Haha, okay, okay!!" Song Hai said happily.
In the afternoon, a young and calm man saw Song Hai talking excitedly. He felt happy for a while, then his expression changed quickly and he said seriously: "Master Hou, it's better not to tell anyone about this matter yet."
His name was Fan Yu and his courtesy name was Boda. He was arranged by Song Jiang to help Song Hai.
"Why?" Song Hai asked puzzled.
"We are about to set off. If this is revealed, it will be troublesome if King Chu regrets it because of this child," Song Hai said seriously.
When Song Hai heard this, he frowned and said, "This is my and the princess's child. What does it have to do with the Chu State?"
"Master Marquis, just because he is your child, the State of Chu may value it. This child is the nephew of the king and a true descendant of the royal family of the King of Qi. If the King of Chu refuses, he says that he will personally train this child and strengthen the relationship between the two parties. If there is no relationship, then there will be trouble in the future," Fan Yu reminded.
Song Hai looked shocked and quickly turned to a guard and said, "Quick, send someone to temporarily control the doctor."
"yes!!"
"By the way, where are Song Ling and King Su? We can't delay, we must set off as soon as possible," Song Hai said seriously.
When Fan Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "The Marquis doesn't know something. His Royal Highness Prince Su seems to have met a woman he likes. Recently, he took Mr. Ling out when nothing happened."
"The woman you like?? Who?" Song Hai said cautiously.
"Your Majesty An Xin, she is not the daughter of a high-ranking official, but the daughter of a wealthy businessman."
"What? A rich businessman??" Song Hai was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Is Prince Su really interested in him, or is it just because of his beauty?? How can such a scholar, farmer, industrialist, and merchant, from a wealthy businessman's family, be worthy of the prince?"
"This subordinate doesn't know"
Song Hai shook his head, "When King Su comes back, invite him over immediately."
"yes!!"
"Boda, after I return to Qi State this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come back in a short time. From now on, you and Xu Fu will be responsible for the affairs of Chu State."
"yes!!"
"The king said that Chu's affairs should be resolved last, so your task is still to maintain the relationship between the two parties. You have already gathered information and sent it to Qi."
"My subordinates understand"
After Song Hai nodded, he walked to the nearby bookshelf and took out a wooden box. After opening it, he saw a thick stack of land deeds inside.
"Some of these things belong to the princess, some are rewards from the King of Chu, and some of them are what I have accumulated over the years. I will hand them over to you from today on. These things should be enough for you to have no worries for five years!!" Song Hai sighed a little. .
"Master Hou" Fan Yu looked shocked.
Song Hai waved his hand and said with a bitter smile: "You can't take these things away. How could the King of Chu let me take such a big advantage? But if he stayed in the Chu State, he would not dare to move around. Besides, our Qi State is now in the Chu State." There are also many forces, all of which require expenses, so just think of me as doing my part for the great cause of Qi State."
After saying that, he handed it over.
When Fan Yu saw it, he quickly took it respectfully and said with admiration: "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I will definitely keep it properly!!"
"Okay, also, the King of Chu has recently handed over many things to Xiao Yu, and the King also asked us not to interfere in Xiao Yu's affairs."
"Although Xiao Yu is very smart, he is a woman after all. It is okay for a short time. Over time, there may be a fight between the back court and the court, and there will also be dissatisfaction from the prince. So you have to pay close attention. If Xiao Yu falls into a trap, If the court is defeated, then naturally forget it, but if the court is defeated, we must try to rescue some promising ministers, especially the right prime minister Zu Shiyuan and Jiangning Mansion General Wang Yin."
"Right Prime Minister??" Fan Yu raised his eyebrows, cupped his fists and said, "Master Marquis, when something happened to the princess this time, the Right Prime Minister didn't waste too much thought."
"That's because the right minister is only loyal to the King of Chu. Xiao Yu planned the princess to assassinate the king's heir. Naturally, he couldn't say anything. However, King Su gave him a lot of help when he was searching. In fact, I and the county The Lord has said that the reason why the Right Prime Minister did not openly oppose Xiao Yu was because at Xiao Yu’s suggestion, the King of Chu began to re-employ nobles. This was what the Right Prime Minister had always wanted to do, but was blocked by Prime Minister Lou.”
"In this case, it stands to reason that the right prime minister should be fine??"
"Of course nothing will happen in a short period of time, but once the Right Prime Minister takes too big a move, it will gradually infringe upon the interests of the generals who once revolted. Don't think that Xiao Yu is doing this to help the Right Prime Minister. She is using the Right Prime Minister to continuously expand herself. The strength of these noble families and the uprising generals are basically incompatible in terms of opinions and ideas. It would be fine if the King of Chu could distinguish right from wrong. However, the King of Chu actually favored the generals in his heart and had no good impression of the noble families. , he only used it as a last resort to stabilize the situation, but once this happens, the right minister may be abandoned!!"
"So the princess was once worried that once the conflict between the two parties arouses the prince, it will affect General Wang Yin. You must remember that before the king formally enters the imperial capital, he must ensure the safety of General Wang Yin. Although General Wang Yin is immortal, He is a talented general, but he is indeed less talented than Zhengdou. He is no match for Xiao Yu."
"My subordinates understand"
"You are a talent selected from the King's recruitment list. I believe you can take over this important task. Remember to pay attention to your own safety."
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis!!" After Fan Yu said this, he suddenly said: "Master Marquis, I have something else to ask you?"
"you say"
"If Concubine Xiao asks us to help, should we help or not?" Fan Yu said seriously.
When Song Hai heard this, he was silent for a while and then nodded slightly.
Fan Yu saw it and immediately said: "I understand."
"This matter must be hidden from the princess at all times. Although the princess has suffered such injustice, she is still the sister of King Chu," Song Hai said with a hint of shame.
"Yes." After Fan Yu nodded, she said worriedly: "Master Hou, will this give Xiao Yu too much power and affect the future?"
Song Hai smiled and said, "Boda, don't worry, the queen can appear in the Tang Dynasty, but she will never appear today. She is no match for the king."
"yes!!"
