After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

She remembered that the original book talked about this battle. Although Prince Ning was defeated in the end, the emperor's victory was not easy.

This time, Prince Ning was in the capital, but his move of secretly mobilizing the Jianzhou Army was really unexpected.

If the eldest princess had not received this news, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Compared to Qiao Jingjing's panic, Lu Xingzhi seemed calm and composed.

He pondered and said, "It seems that even if Your Highness does not go to find Prince Ning, Prince Ning is planning to start a rebellion on the day of Your Highness's wedding.

I'm afraid that the Jianzhou troops will not arrive in a few days, but will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and then attack the city from outside, and cooperate with Prince Ning and his followers to force the palace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Xuan and Qiao Jingjing's expressions changed.

"Will arrive tomorrow?" Qiao Jingjing was very surprised.

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi responded while taking his outer robe and putting it on. "There is no time to lose. I will go to the palace now and report this to the emperor. We must stop the Jianzhou troops before they arrive in Beijing."

"In that case, let me go." Qin Xuan had calmed down at this time, and thought to himself that after going to the palace to report to the emperor, the emperor would definitely send someone with troops to intercept the Jianzhou army. When the two armies met, there would inevitably be a fierce battle.

This matter is dangerous, he can't let Lu Xingzhi take the risk.

"No, neither you nor my father-in-law can go. You are the groom tomorrow, and you have to stay in the mansion to contain Prince Ning and his followers. After entering the palace, I will ask the emperor to lead the troops." Lu Xingzhi's handsome face was serious.

Qin Xuan frowned, "But if you go, it will be too dangerous. The Jianzhou Army is well prepared..."

"It's dangerous for anyone to go, but it will be better if I go than if you guys go." Lu Xingzhi understood his concerns and interrupted him in a gentle voice.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she also advised, "Brother, my husband is right. You and Dad really can't go. Let your husband go."

Although she knew that it would be dangerous for Lu Xingzhi to go, he was the only suitable person now.

This matter is urgent and must not be discovered by Prince Ning and his cronies, so it has to be done in secret.

If Lu Xingzhi entered the palace, the emperor would most likely send him out of the city.

Qin Xuan frowned, still hesitant in his expression.

After all, Lu Xingzhi was a civil servant and had never led troops.

"Believe me." Lu Xingzhi patted his shoulder. "Tomorrow is your wedding with His Highness. No matter what, the wedding must be held as scheduled and must not be disrupted by anyone."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan stopped struggling and said, "Then you have to be careful."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi responded and was about to walk out, but Qiao Jingjing grabbed his hand and said, "You must protect yourself!"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lu Xingzhi turned around and touched her hair, then strode away.

As soon as he left, the room was silent for a moment. Qin Xuan saw Qiao Jingjing's worried face and said softly, "It's still a while before dawn. You should rest well and don't worry too much. I'll go discuss this matter with Dad."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing suppressed her anxiety and nodded.

Although she knew that Prince Ning's conspiracy would never succeed, when two armies were fighting, swords had no mercy, and she was afraid that Lu Xingzhi would not be able to take care of it.

After Qin Xuan left, Qiao Jingjing went to bed, but she was no longer sleepy.

At dawn, a man on a fast horse, carrying the emperor's order, galloped out of the city.

Although the gatekeepers were surprised, they had no choice but to open the city gate when they saw the emperor's order.

Before they could see the person's appearance clearly, the horse had already galloped out of the city.

This person is Lu Xingzhi.

After he reported the news, the emperor acted promptly, gave him a token, and ordered him to leave the city, go to the Xishan camp, dispatch troops, and intercept the Jianzhou army.

……

Duke Qin's Mansion. Qiao Jingjing was restless all day, and even Yu Fei'er noticed it. She held her daughter's hand, looking worried, "Jingjing, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing pulled herself together and shook her head, "No, I'm just happy for my brother. Today is his wedding day."

Speaking of this, Yu Fei'er also looked very happy. She said excitedly: "The eldest princess' daughter-in-law will be coming in soon. I want to see the bride."

"Well, we'll go see it together then." Qiao Jingjing also said with a smile.

At this time, Mother Lu pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "There are so many guests in the mansion, where is Ah Xing? Why doesn't he come out to help entertain the guests?"

Qiao Jingjing hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Mother, don't make it public. My husband has important things to do. Don't let anyone know that he is not in the Duke's Mansion."

Mother Lu was very surprised, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved, but at the same time, she was a little anxious.

After all, Qin Xuan’s wedding is such an important day, if Lu Xingzhi is not there, others will definitely be surprised.

Especially Prince Ning.

I just hope that Lu Xingzhi can successfully intercept the Jianzhou army.

Thinking of this, she saw Father Lu sitting idly on the side. She paused, walked over, and whispered a few words to him.

When Father Lu heard this, his eyes sparkled, and he rubbed his hands, eager to try. He suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Don't worry, Jingjing, I'll go out of the city to help Ah Xing right away."

Qiao Jingjing quickly warned: "Then you have to be careful and protect yourself."

"Don't worry." Father Lu was in high spirits, and then he left through the back door while no one was paying attention.

Qiao Jingjing stood there, clenching her fingers. She didn't know if what she was doing was right.

But the Jianzhou army was coming with great force, and she was really worried about Lu Xingzhi, so she had to ask Lu's father, who was a bandit, to go and help him.

I just hope that the father and son can be safe.

"Jingjing, what are you worried about?" Seeing her worried look, Xu couldn't help but ask.

"Maybe I'm a little tired." Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and said with all her might.

"Since you are tired, go and rest for a while. You are a double, so you have to take care of yourself." Xu advised.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing took her hand and said with a smile: "Mom is also a double body person, so let's rest together."

"Yeah." Xu nodded.

Seeing the two of them so close, Yu Feier hurriedly grabbed Qiao Jingjing's other hand.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing turned around, smiled at her, and held her hand tightly.

When night fell, the eldest princess's sedan chair finally arrived at the gate of Duke Qin's mansion.

Amid the sounds of gongs and drums and firecrackers, the eldest princess got off the bridal sedan, holding one end of the red silk, and under the guidance of Qin Xuan, she stepped over the fire basin and saddle and entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

When she saw the perfect couple appear in her sight, Qiao Jingjing put her worries behind her and sincerely wished the newlyweds well.

After the bride and groom paid homage to heaven and earth, they were sent to the bridal chamber.

Prince Ning stood among the guests with a very gloomy expression.

Didn’t they say that the emperor would be present to celebrate today? Why didn’t he come?
Just when he was trying to find an opportunity to go to the bridal chamber to find the eldest princess, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

He looked up, his expression suddenly changed, "Your Majesty?" (End of this chapter)
