"Your Majesty, I previously felt that the qualifications of General Lu and General Qin were too low. In fact, it was for the sake of the war on the border. The Dongting people are coming menacingly. They are too young and are not a suitable choice!"

Uncle Chang An was kneeling on the ground, but his back was very straight. He didn't think there was anything wrong with their collective targeting of Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian before.

Neither the emperor nor anyone else spoke, and Chang Anbo was not in a hurry. He continued: "But this time banditry is rampant, and all the generals in the court have things to do. General Lu is left alone for the time being, so he will be fine. Let General Lu give it a try. If he can successfully eliminate the banditry, General Lu will have vindicated his reputation."

"What do you think of General Lu?"

"What follows? The sentence was said to Lu Baichuan, and it was very suggestive.

He just wanted to arouse Lu Baichuan's competitive spirit. Wasn't he despised and suspected by everyone in the court before?

This is an opportunity to prove yourself, and no smart person will miss it.

Lu Baichuan glanced at him with no emotion in his eyes, but he finally made a move.

He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what Chang Anbo said is right. I am willing to go to suppress the bandits, but I just want Qin Jian to go with me."

When these words came out, they played into Chang Anbo's wish. He originally thought that it would be good if he could get Lu Baichuan away, but he didn't expect that he would take Qin Jian away by himself. God was really helping him.

Others looked down upon Lu Baichuan even more. They felt that Lu Baichuan was really useless. He always had to ask someone to help him with such a trivial matter. Such a person really posed no threat to them.

I don’t know how the emperor was deceived by him before. He fooled them into thinking how powerful this person was, but now it seems that he is just a paper tiger.

It’s not surprising that they thought so. The main reason was that Lu Baichuan’s performance during this period was really not good. He was suspended from work and there was no movement at home. He really had no ability at all.

If it weren’t for the emperor’s favor, wouldn’t all the Lu family be useless?

No, Jiang Jiuniang is an exception!

They have not forgotten those things that Jiang Jiuniang sold for sky-high prices. They offended people so much before that it was hard to say anything, but now is the opportunity.

As a result, many people stood up to speak for Lu Baichuan, saying that it was normal for him to be young and lack confidence. Let him take whoever he wanted to take with him, just in time for the two young people to have some experience. .

Mr. Kang wanted to sneer when he listened to the words of these people in the court. Those who didn’t know thought that Beiyan’s court had always been so harmonious and beautiful, or that these were all related to Lu Baichuan is a good friend.

I don’t know which dogs were biting people in the court some time ago. How shameless!

If this was normal, he would have stood up and cursed, but this time he was as if he was deaf, standing and dozing the whole time.

Whatever, he is not as knowledgeable as these dogs.

Under the situation where all these courtiers were helping to speak, the emperor could only reluctantly agree. Finally, to prevent these people from biting back, he also emphasized: "This is what you have chosen. People, please don’t blame me if you have any problems later.”

He spoke in a strange and arrogant way, which made everyone feel a little embarrassed. Recently, the emperor either didn’t speak or was irritating them. Everyone in the court He was so self-conscious that he didn't know how to ease the relationship between the king and his ministers.

Now they have made no mistakes, and the emperor has given them face for the time being without too much embarrassment. But once they make a mistake, there is no need to say anything and just wait to die.

Therefore, it was urgent to ease the relationship between the emperor and his ministers. After hearing this, they hurriedly flattered and made extravagant remarks. As a result, the emperor ignored them.

The suppression of the bandits was urgent. The emperor did not give Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian much time and asked them to take the people out that night.

Chang Anbo stood on the city wall and watched the group of people leaving the capital city, with a smile on his lips.

Everything is going according to his plan. Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian will definitely die on the way to suppress the bandits, and naturally there is no need for the rest of the Lu family to exist.

Ms. Sun felt that it was a bit dangerous for her two sons to be suddenly sent to suppress bandits. She was panicked when she thought of the bandits they had encountered on their way to escape. Although she knew that her two sons were capable people, But they were all mortal and could be injured, so they wanted to go to a temple outside the city to seek peace.

The female relatives at home were all there and they had nothing to do, so they made an appointment to go out together tomorrow.

This was the first time that the Lu family went to the temple to offer incense after they settled down again. Mrs. Sun paid special attention to it. She personally prepared all the necessary things on the first day and went to the temple early the next morning. Going out of town.

Lanying Temple is halfway up the mountain, and the journey is relatively long. We have to go out before dawn. Mrs. Sun asked everyone to go to bed early and not to waste time.

Jiang Jiu Niang thought the same thing and went to bed early. In the middle of the night, she was suddenly woken up by the maid. The maid looked panicked and said: "Madam, someone came from the palace and said that the Queen Empress has started to attack. The emperor is worried, so he asked his wife to go to the palace to help watch."

Jiang Jiuniang opened her eyes in a daze, always feeling that something was unreal.

The Queen’s delivery date should be about half a month away, because she has been raising her well.It won't happen in advance.

It seems like someone did it on purpose.

Jiang Jiuniang narrowed her eyes. If something happened at this time, if she had to be pushed away, there would definitely be danger on the road.

She got up and cleaned herself up, then went to find Lianhua in the middle of the night, explained a few words, and then hurried into the palace with the people coming from the palace.

In the middle of the night, the palace was still brightly lit, and the people in the palace were in a hurry, rushing to give birth to the queen.

"Please, Madam."

The palace maid who led the way was also very anxious. She had to pay attention to her manners when walking in the palace, but now she didn't care about that and lifted up her skirt. , just to make myself go faster.

"I won't be able to give birth for a while. Please tell me carefully what is going on."

"This maid is serving the queen. I have seen her before. Several times, Jiang Jiuniang quite trusted her.

The palace maid heard this and said honestly: "After dinner, the queen went for a walk in the garden as usual. There were pebbles on the road, and the queen accidentally sprained her foot, so she started."
< br />When the palace maid said this, she felt very guilty. They were all watching at the time, but they did not clean up the pebbles on the road in advance, which caused the empress to give birth prematurely.

"Would this happen in the past?"

The palace maid shook her head: "The empress is pregnant with Liujia, so the slaves have been careful and the road has to be cleaned several times a day. So many times, I really didn’t expect that there would be some small stones missing.”

It’s not usually there, but it was there today, so it must have been intentional.

As for why the attack started at night and why he came to see her in the middle of the night, it must be that the emperor felt that he was playing tricks recently and could not interact with her too blatantly, so he tolerated it again and again. Tolerate.

Who would have thought that the queen's situation was not optimistic and she had never been able to give birth, so she was invited into the palace in the middle of the night.
