The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 171 Zhao Chen Gets Angry

Not long after Guo Zijing left, Lin Xian came to pick up Liu's mother and daughter. Before leaving, of course he hugged his granddaughter for a while.

After sending off his father-in-law's family, Zhao Chen carried his daughter and walked back with his wife. Ah Ju saw that the corners of his mouth had been curled up, and he couldn't help asking him when he returned to the house: "What's so happy about it?"

Zhao Chen kissed his daughter, "Cancan tell your mother, who did you meet when you and my aunt bought candied haws?"

Speaking of candied haws, Cancan took a deep breath, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Uncle! Uncle give candied haws!"

Ah Ju was surprised, "Brother has you been here?"

Zhao Chen let his daughter go to play in the kang, held his wife's hand and pinched it while explaining: "He came to pick up my aunt. He didn't come in when I heard that my aunt was gone. Why, Azhu didn't tell you?"

Ah Ju looked at her husband who had a playful look in his eyes, and slowly came to his senses.That's right, the candied haws that my younger sister went to buy with Cancan. Cancan saw Guo Zijing, and my younger sister must have seen it too, but the girl came back as if nothing had happened. This thought was hidden deep enough. She is a big sister. Can't see it at all!

If the younger sister doesn't tell her the secret, Ah Ju will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, either angry, or feeling that the younger sister is not kissing him.

His wife was not very happy, so Zhao Chen hurriedly told her about Lin Zhu blushing and standing with Guo Zijing talking, Cancan had been listening to his parents talking, and heard the candied haws interrupted: "Uncle give it to my aunt, candied haws, it's not good, my aunt Don’t eat! It’s delicious!” The last sentence was very serious.

Zhao Chen didn't quite understand, but Ah Ju understood, and couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that not only my sister likes Guo Zijing, but Guo Zijing also likes my sister, otherwise why would I buy seedless candied haws for my sister?For a stern man like Guo Zijing, Ah Ju couldn't imagine buying candied haws.

In any case, the two of them didn't seem to be as emotionless as they appeared on the surface, and Ah Ju finally settled something on his mind, and slept very well for the next few days.In November, the crown prince and concubine will be crowned, and the ministers of civil and military affairs will order their wives to pay homage, and Aju is spared a lot of fatigue because the month is too old.

And when King Jing was appointed as the crown prince to visit the Taimiao, Qin Siyong, the general of Zhenbei, was in a daze holding the emperor's imperial edict announcing him to return to Beijing.

In order to avoid the rebellion of the big officials in Fengjiang, the emperor will keep the officials' family members in the capital, and will order the officials to return to Beijing every three years.He originally planned to go back to see his daughter this year, but since her daughter was gone, he still wanted to go back to the capital and kill Zhao Yunting.His daughter killed Zhao Yunting, he could understand Zhao Yunting's anger, but the grudge should be gone after his daughter's death, why did Zhao Yunting desecrate his daughter's body, not even giving her the whole body?

He wants to avenge his daughter.

He won't do it himself, but he wants to watch Zhao Yunting die.

But the imperial decree of the emperor...

"General, General Wu is here." The personal guard replied in a deep voice outside.

"Invite him to come here." Qin Siyong was about to send someone to invite Wu Qi, when he heard that the other party was here, he immediately replied.

Soon, Deputy General Wu Qi pushed the door and entered, closed the door after entering, and walked into the study familiarly.The two had gone through life and death together many times on the battlefield, and they didn't pay much attention to those vain etiquettes when they got along in private. Wu Qi went straight to the desk, and just about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the imperial decree in front of Qin Siyong, and his heart trembled, "The general has decided to return to Beijing?"

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Qin Siyong asked in a low voice: "Your brother also thinks it's wrong?"

Looking at each other, Wu Qi stopped hiding, pulled a chair and sat down under Qin Siyong, "The general must not go back. Just now we arranged for the person who took care of the young master to catch a spy. The spy bit his tongue and committed suicide, but failed. Later, he was recruited. It was sent by Zhao Yunting. Think about it, General, Zhao Yunting has always been at odds with the Qin family, and if he knew about the fact that the general took in the young master, would he not tell the emperor? If the emperor knew about it, how would he be suspicious of the general?"

Qin Siyong raised his eyes to look at him, and his eyes gradually moved to the spreading edict.

Wu Qi also looked at the imperial decree, reached out and knocked, "General, I'm still confused. After Zhao Yunting supported the emperor's enthronement, he was in the limelight. With his hatred for the second girl, he could find a reason to kill the second girl at that time. Why do you have to hold back until now?"

Qin Siyong closed his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair and did not speak for a long time.

why?because of him.At that time, he took refuge in the emperor, and if the emperor wanted to use him, he would naturally tell Zhao Yunting to save his daughter's life.Now the emperor became suspicious of him, Zhao Yunting acted accordingly, knowing that the emperor would not blame him for killing his daughter at this time, and immediately got rid of his daughter.Without his daughter to restrain him, he was alone with a powerful army in his hands, and if there was a matter of taking in the Qin family's flesh and blood, the emperor announced him to return to Beijing to test him.

Wanting to dispel the emperor's suspicion, he had only one way to go, and he took his nephew and grandson back to Beijing together, and handed them over to the emperor for disposal.

But that child is his only relative in this world. He killed his own brother just to save his daughter's life, but the emperor didn't protect him. Why would such an emperor also hand over the life of his nephew?
Qin Siyong opened his eyes, and said to the roof: "The barbarians sent a team of troops to invade the country to rob the country, my virtuous brother quickly lead the troops to attack."

Wu Qi was taken aback for a moment, the border has been peaceful recently, there is no...

He looked at Qin Siyong, suddenly understood, got up immediately and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

The emperor gave the general a Hongmen banquet. Of course the general can't go. If he doesn't go, he has to find a reason. Now that the Hu people "may invade at any time", the general can't get away for military reasons. By the way, he also reminds the emperor that the Qin family has been stationed in the northwest for decades. With his military exploits and prestige, the emperor really pushed the general into a hurry, and it will definitely hurt both sides.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Qin Siyong's memorial arrived in the capital. After Tang Wendi read it, he sneered and sent Wei Yuanxuan Zhao Yunting and his son to Chongzheng Hall.

After the two had read the memorial, Emperor Wen of Tang said coldly: "Thanks to your father and son who would rather give up hatred for the sake of the court and society, but he used the safety of the border as an excuse to fool me for his own selfishness! This kind of villain will definitely cause serious trouble if he stays. Before I asked you to discuss the strategy to deal with the Northwest, is there a way?"

Zhao Yunting looked at his son.

Zhao Chen knelt down on one knee, his voice was sonorous and forceful: "I have a plan."

Emperor Tang Wen sat down, stared at his handsome face and said, "Speak."

Zhao Chen whispered for a while.

Emperor Tang Wen pondered: "This is a good idea, but the risk is too great, if it doesn't work, Chengyuan..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but for the sake of the stability of the country, and to avenge the hatred that our father and son have endured for many years, I am willing to take risks, and will do my best to facilitate this matter to relieve the Emperor's worries." Zhao Chen said loudly, "If the Emperor is at ease, I will be at your disposal at any time. "

Emperor Tang Wen nodded, got up to help him up, thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "I remember your wife is having another baby. When is the delivery date? Although the matter in the northwest is urgent, Qin Siyong sent you there as soon as he handed over his son. That's not right, Cheng Yuan is spending a new year at home, if your daughter-in-law was born early, it won't be too late for me to send you there after you see your son."

Both Zhao Yunting and Zhao Chen knelt down to thank each other gratefully. Zhao Chen was overjoyed and his voice was a little choked up: "The emperor Long Enchen is unforgettable. The doctor said that the minister's wife gave birth around the middle of February, and the minister is really looking forward to seeing the birth of the child with his own eyes before setting off. , but I also know that important military and state affairs should not be delayed, and I ask the emperor not to worry about my family affairs, Cheng Yuan is always on standby."

"Mid-February..." Tang Wendi muttered to himself, and did not answer right away. Instead, he ordered Wei Yuan to bring over a copy of the almanac. , the doctor you hired for your wife should be accurate, so you can spend a few more days with their mother."

It's dangerous to go here, and if he is the emperor, he must let the ministers go at ease.

Zhao Chen kowtowed again to thank him.

The father and son withdrew, their yamen were located in different places, when they were about to part, Zhao Chen said to his father: "Ah Ju is heavy, don't tell me about this when father goes over, lest she worry."

"I know." Zhao Yunting patted his son on the shoulder, wanted to tell his son a few words, but thought it was still early before departure, so he didn't say much.

Ah Ju lived a relatively quiet year this year. In the past two years, there were many banquets to be attended. This year, thanks to the blessing of the child in her womb, she was saved from going to the palace to pay New Year’s greetings, and from going out to visit. The mother-in-law helps to take care of the trivial matters, and she has nothing to do after sitting with the guests.

At the end of the first month, good news came from Ji's family that Guo Baozhu gave birth to a fat son for Ji Zhao.

Ah Ju’s delivery date is approaching, so she couldn’t go to see the baby, but Zhao Chen went to see her with Cancan in her arms. When she came back, Cancan sat beside her mother and was unhappy. Ah Ju curiously asked her what was wrong.

Cancan lightly touched her mother's stomach, and said aggrievedly: "My brother is not good-looking."

Ah Ju smiled, and told her daughter softly: "My younger brother was not good-looking when he was born, but after a month he grows up, he will be as good-looking as Cancan." Whether it is her and Zhao Chen, or Guo Baozhu and Ji Zhao , They are all good-looking, how can a child be ugly?
Cancan didn't know what was coming to her mind, she showed a disbelieving expression, and after a while she lay on her mother's shoulder and asked, "When will my brother come out?" After her mother became pregnant with her brother, she hasn't hugged her for a long time.

"In a few days, Cancan praise my brother for looking good, and he will come out." Ah Ju smiled and coaxed her daughter.

Cancan immediately told her mother's stomach that her younger brother was good-looking.

Zhao Chen came in through the curtain, and saw the two mothers talking softly.

"Daddy!" Seeing Daddy, Cancan climbed a few steps forward, and when she was far away from her mother, she stood up on the kang, and wanted to hug Daddy.

"Cancan is getting more and more sensible." Zhao Chen picked up his daughter and kissed her deeply, "Who did Cancan praise just now for being pretty?"

"Brother." Cancan turned her head to look at her mother, her two little hands were held together and twirling around, "Cancan praised my brother for looking good, and he came out."

Zhao Chen raised his eyes to look at his wife, and said with a smile: "Is it your mother who taught you the fallacy again?"

Ah Ju glared at him.

But Cancan didn't know what fallacy was, she only knew that it was taught by her mother, so she nodded.

As the delivery date approached, Ah Ju didn't sleep well at night, thinking wildly, and asked Zhao Chen in a low voice: "Cancan Xu is already four years old, should she live alone?" She was also reluctant to let her daughter move away, but worried about herself Attack, scare the child.

"Don't worry, let's talk about it later, if she's crying now, you don't have the energy to coax her like this." Zhao Chen said while holding his wife's hand.He will be leaving soon, and it is uncertain when he will come back. Even if his daughter moves away now, when he leaves, his wife will definitely let her move back as a companion, so why bother.

What he said made sense, Ah Ju nodded, feeling the man's chest was hard, Ah Ju touched it, and complained worriedly: "Everyone else gains weight during the Chinese New Year, why do you seem to have lost weight?"

Zhao Chen smiled, touched his wife's stomach and said: "My son is coming out soon, I look forward to hugging him every day, can I not lose weight?"

Ah Ju rubbed against his shoulder, and stretched out her hand to cover the back of his hand, "Don't worry, hurry up."

Zhao Chen also thought so.

But when it was fifteen, Ah Ju still didn't feel any signs of giving birth, so he invited the palace physician to take his pulse, saying that the pulse was stable and nothing unusual, and told them that the baby might indeed be born a few days later than expected.The child was fine, and Ah Ju felt fine, so he didn't worry too much.

However, Zhao Chen became very angry. He wanted to accompany his wife when she gave birth, and wanted to see their mother and child were safe with his own eyes.But he could only worry secretly, not daring to show any clues in front of his wife and daughter.

The imperial decree to transfer him to be the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi was issued at the beginning of February, and all the relatives joined him in hiding Ah Ju.

Seeing that he was about to leave the next day and Ah Ju was not yet born, Zhao Chen was so anxious and reluctant to let go that he couldn't help but hold his wife and slowly explain to her.

Ah Ju looked at her husband, unable to speak for a long time, finally regained her voice, but urged her husband to quickly arrange for the midwife to prepare.

She was about to give birth, the day before her husband was about to leave.
