Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

Chapter 438 I have endured too much

Chu State, inside the palace.

The forbidden army hurriedly walked towards the imperial study.

At this time, the morning court just came down, and the ministers came out of the political hall in twos and threes.

"It's been such a long time, and the emperor is still unwilling to announce the news of the empress's death. How long will this harem be empty?"

"My lord, please be vigilant. It was only the last time someone brought up this matter, and the emperor was so angry that he was dragged out by the imperial army to beat him up. Who dares to mention this matter now?"

The heads got closer again.

"Duke Yasukuni...is there no movement?"

"Prince Yasukuni may not want to go through this muddy water, let's wait and see what happens."

The Forbidden Army gradually drifted away with the low voices of the ministers.

As soon as Xiao Jin sat down in the imperial study, Zhang Shuming walked in.

"Your Majesty, there are forbidden soldiers outside the door asking to see you."

Xiao Jin picked up a memorial without looking up, "Let him in."

The imperial army walked into the inner hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, half an hour ago, I found a carrier pigeon outside the palace gate with letter paper tied to its foot. I took out the letter paper and found something strange, so I dare not If there is any delay, it will be sent to the emperor."

Xiao Jin raised his brows and eyes when he heard the words, his pupils were expressionless, "What did you write?"

Jun Jun said: "It is written on the letter paper that the empress is still alive."

Xiao Jin paused and stood up from the dragon chair, "Take it here."

The forbidden army immediately handed over the letter paper.

Xiao Jin took the letter paper and looked at it. There were strange handwriting on it, but it clearly stated that Su Ying was still alive, and he was in Jincheng now.

Jincheng was his former fiefdom, no matter what route from the Cangjiang River, it is impossible to go to Jincheng.

Zhang Shuming glanced at the letter paper from the side, "Your Majesty, the source of this news is unknown, so I still can't believe it easily."

Xiao Jin is not stupid, so he will not believe it easily, "Can you see someone suspicious?"

"Returning to the emperor, no suspicious person was found during the patrol of the humble office. This pigeon was picked up at the foot of the city wall."

Xiao Jin slowly clenched the note in his hand, "I know, step back, and if you find anything unusual again, please let me know immediately."

"yes."

After the imperial army retreated, Zhang Shuming brought tea to Xiao Jin's hand, "The emperor has a sip of tea."

Xiao Jin waved his hand, and unfolded the note in his hand again.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuming couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, there may be fraud in this."

"If it's a trap, if they fail once, they will come back again. I want to see who is behind it." Xiao Jin firmly believes that Su Ying is still alive, but the news is credible, and he will not believe it easily .

Seeing that Xiao Jin was not fooled, Zhang Shuming secretly exhaled a sigh of relief. During the time when the empress was away, the emperor seemed to be a different person. He dealt with state affairs all day long, and taught the eldest prince the rest of the time. He sat alone on the bed at night. , I don’t know if I have slept or not. It’s only been a while, and I’ve lost a lot of weight just looking at it, hey!

The eldest prince is also pitiful. Right now, he only has four hours of sleeping time a day, plus one hour for eating. The rest of the time is almost endlessly studying. For two hours, I went to the imperial study to listen to the emperor's discussion with the ministers.

In such a tiring daily life, the First Prince did not complain at all, but the smile on that immature face became less and less.

Xiao Jin didn't tell the two children about Su Ying, and the two children surprisingly didn't ask. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the father and son, as if some people didn't mention it, she would always be there.

During the silence, a small figure came outside the imperial study.

Zhang Shuming reminded softly: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here."

Xiao Jin gripped the letter paper in his hand tightly, and let Dabao enter the hall.

"See Father Emperor."

"Come here and sit down, have you read all the notebooks that the emperor asked you to read yesterday?"

Dabao nodded, "I've finished reading."

Xiao Jin hummed.

"Father, after my son and minister finished reading the excerpts last night, there were two excerpts that my son wrote an overview of, and I asked my father to read them."

Xiao Jin took the paper in his hand with some surprise and looked at it.

It is impossible for Dabao to test his views on state affairs at this age. He just said that he can read all the words on the notebooks, and further understand the contents of the notebooks. Made progress again.

The overview is very immature, but it is very rare for Dabao at this age.

Dabao stood in the hall with a trace of apprehension in his big eyes.

Xiao Jin affirmed after reading it: "It's well written."

After hearing Xiao Jin's praise, Dabao raised the corners of his lips in relief, "My son will continue to work hard."

Xiao Jin asked him to sit down next to him, seeing the faint bruises under his eyelids at such a young age, he couldn't help feeling distressed, "Did you not sleep well at night?"

Dabao said softly: "Last night I wrote the overview and went to bed later than usual, and I can make up for it after a nap."

Xiao Jin held his little hand, "Ji'er, Father knows that you have worked very hard, if you are really tired, take a rest."

Dabao held Xiao Jin's hand instead, his big eyes were full of firmness, "Father is tired, Ji'er learns a little more, and can share more with Father, so that Father won't be so tired .”

Xiao Jin held Dabao in his arms, "Silly boy..."

"Father, don't worry, Ji'er is not tired. Ji'er likes to read books and listen to the teacher's lectures. Ji'er has to learn a lot of things. From now on, he can protect Father, Ling'er, and...mother..." Dabao said later His voice was choked up.

He knew, he knew everything, those people would always secretly say behind his back that my mother fell into a big, big flood and would never come back again, and when he heard that, he would be angry and scold them, Tell them loudly that mother will be fine, she will definitely come back!

Just like she and her father fell into the water and came back!

Mother Zhao and the others would always cry secretly with Linger behind his back, and he was also very angry, why did they cry when mother clearly didn't come back!

Dabao is very angry, and also angry with himself. If he has grown up and can share his father's worries, then he is the one who helps his father, so that his mother will not go out of the palace, and there will be no danger!

So Dabao worked hard to read and study hard, hoping that he could know more, grow up quickly and become the helper of his father, so that his mother can come back!

Children's thoughts are always mature with incomprehensible innocence.

This maturity that does not meet the age makes Xiao Jin feel distressed, but as the eldest son, this is also the only way he must go.

"Your mother, you will definitely come back."

Dabao raised his head from Xiao Jin's arms, this was the first time Xiao Jin mentioned this matter in front of the child since Su Ying disappeared.

"Er Chen also felt that Mother would definitely come back, and Mother also told Er Chen not to worry about her, she would be back soon!"
