Chapter 203 General Li's Substitute
"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

Emperor Jing looked at the person in front of him, with no expression of joy or anger on his face, and said lightly, "Why is the queen here at this time?"

"Your Majesty, my concubine has made a new snack and I want you to try it." Then he took the food box from the maid.

"Well, then bring it up." Emperor Jing nodded.

Li Yuning looked at the person who was eating snacks, and tentatively said, "Your Majesty, my concubine came here today, and I do have something to say to Your Majesty."

Seeing that Emperor Jing didn't speak for a long time, Li Yuning didn't wait any longer, and then said: "Your Majesty, my concubine's father entered the palace yesterday and told my concubine that he stayed in Beijing for a long time, and planned to return to the border soon."

When Emperor Jing heard this, he raised his eyes and signaled the queen to continue.

Li Yuning received the meaning of Emperor Jing, and quickly continued: "It's just that your majesty also knows that a few days ago, the concubine's younger brother was attacked and injured, and his body was completely broken. My grandfather was sad for a long time because of this incident, until my father continued. After we got married, my grandfather just slowed down a bit."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuning directly knelt down, "Your Majesty, this concubine would like to ask you to allow my concubine's father to bring his family back to the border."

After Li Yuning finished speaking, it took a long time for Emperor Jing to pat off the crumbs of the dessert, "Queen, get up."

"Your Majesty?" Li Yuning felt a little uneasy because of Emperor Jing's long silence, and didn't know what His Majesty meant when he said that.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter. The queen doesn't have to worry about it. Well, I still have a memorial to approve. You can step back first." After Jingdi finished speaking, he didn't even look at the person who was still kneeling on the ground, and took it directly. He picked up the memorial on the table and began to read it.

Seeing this, Li Yuning wanted to speak, but was pulled back by the nanny behind her, motioning her to leave, so she didn't say much, "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine will leave."

After Li Yuning left, Emperor Jing directly dropped the pen in his hand, his chest heaved violently, obviously very angry...

Huo Chenxiao returned to the palace, and while going to the study, he ordered, "Wufeng, you go and bring the prince to the study to see me."

"Yes."

So not long after Huo Chenxiao arrived in the study, Wufeng brought someone over.

"Father, you are looking for me." When Huo Beichen faced Huo Chenxiao, he was not as relaxed as he was in front of Lan Qing, but was a little more cautious and cautious.

"Sit down." After watching the person sit down, Huo Chenxiao didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated the purpose of letting him come, "Your Majesty said that you should go to the border to guard General Li instead."

"Yes."

"You don't seem surprised." Huo Chenxiao was not surprised when he saw his calm appearance.

Huo Beichen thought, of course he wouldn't be surprised, since he was adopted by His Majesty to Prince Li's Mansion, he knew what he should do - seize power.

Huo Chenxiao has been in the army for many years, and his reputation and prestige are extremely high. All the soldiers obeyed his command not only because of a soldier talisman, but also because they were sincerely convinced by Huo Chenxiao and were willing to be driven by him.

How could His Majesty feel at ease in such a situation? Even though it was rumored that the prince was inhumane and unable to conceive children, this still did not make His Majesty feel at ease. His Majesty would be at ease only if he held the military power and the hearts of the people in his own hands.

So there is him, His Majesty's idea is very simple, he is the prince, His Majesty's blood, he got the military power, it means His Majesty got it, and getting the military power from him is much easier than getting it from the prince up.

"Since that's the case, then you should go back and prepare. Your Majesty's will will come soon." Huo Chenxiao didn't ask any further questions, and sent people back after finishing the matter.

"Yes," Huo Beichen stood up and walked out, stopped at the door for a while, then turned around, looked at Huo Chenxiao, and said hesitantly, "The mother..."

"I'll tell her you don't have to worry."

With Huo Chenxiao's promise, Huo Beichen felt relieved, and left without saying anything.

At night, before Huo Chenxiao could speak, Lan Qing took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, why did His Majesty call you into the palace today?"

As soon as this question was finished, Lan Qing saw that both father and son had stopped their chopsticks, but before he could react, "What's wrong?"

The two looked at each other, and it was Huo Chenxiao who spoke first, "...Let's talk after eating first." After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks first, picked up the food for Lan Qing, and then began to eat by himself.

Lan Qing: ...

I'm so nervous you let me eat first? !

But seeing that the two of them have already started eating, it seems that they really don't plan to talk at the dinner table. Lan Qing has no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and finish the meal first...

On the other side, when Bai Qirou heard the news, he was so shocked that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand, "What do you mean? Your Majesty means, you go back to the border and let me stay in the capital?! I don't want it."

"Don't get excited, sit down." Bai Qinian looked at his younger sister and quickly comforted her.

"Rou'er, this matter is not a question of whether you want it, want it, or be willing." Father Bai then put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Since your Majesty has already said it, then explain it. , Your Majesty has made up his mind and will not change it."

Why didn't Bai Qirou know this truth? After calming down, she also knew that her stay in the capital was a certainty, but she couldn't get used to it for a while.

Father Bai looked at his daughter who was sitting on the seat with her head down, looking a little lost, and couldn't bear it in her heart. Although the border is a bit rough, at least Rou'er is happy; but in the capital, there are so many rules when father and brother are not around. Restraint, I am afraid that I will have to be wronged.

He also understood His Majesty's thoughts very well. He agreed to let Bai Qirou stay at the border because there was an old man Bai in the capital. Now that the old man is seriously ill, in His Majesty's eyes, he is naturally not as useful as Bai Qirou, so he wanted to keep him. the capital.

As long as Bai Qirou stays in Beijing for a day, His Majesty will be at ease with the Bai family.

"Father, I understand. I will stay in the capital." Bai Qirou was not a fool, and after understanding His Majesty's intentions, he took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Rou'er, do you still remember Qian Momo?" Bai Qinian took the initiative to change the subject.

Bai Qirou nodded when she heard the words, "I remember, she used to be with my mother, but she was not well a few years ago, so she was sent outside to care for her."

"Yes, but now that she's in good health, the old man can't stay idle, and you just want to stay in the capital, why don't you let the nanny come over to take care of you." Bai Qinian suggested.

"That's fine, Mammy Qian has watched you grow up, we can rest assured that she will take care of you, what do you think, Rou'er?" Father Bai also agreed.

"Okay, then let's do this." Bai Qirou nodded in agreement.
