Chapter 222
Duke Chen said without any thought: "Whether you lose your official position or your head, it's not as important as her life."
Uncle Junior High School was stunned. Although this sounded sincere, it made people feel very ironic.
If he had known to think like this before, how could the father and daughter end up like this?
"The princess should not go, and the third lady is not happy to see you, so as not to affect her." The third uncle advised.
He said this, first of all, for the sake of Duke Chen's future.
Er really doesn't want their father and daughter to have conflicts on the battlefield.
It is best if he doesn't go.
After hearing this, Duke Chen was silent for a long time before slowly raising his head and said, "Yes, lest she be unhappy, then I won't go. You go, take good care of her."
The third uncle nodded.
Duke Chen asked, "Are you a soldier from Beiying? Who else can go with you?"
"The deputy commander is General Zhen Shi'an, and Lord Su Yisu is the military supervisor." said the third uncle of the junior high school.
"How to leave the city? There are also a lot of three thousand soldiers. How to transport food and grass? Who is working hard to maintain the supply?"
"Go out of the city and go in batches, and the food and grass have already gone first. General Sun Chang'an transported the food and grass and gathered in Qizhou."
Duke Chen nodded, "Well, since that's the case, you should hurry up and avoid missing the meeting place."
The third uncle of junior high school has already packed up. Although the sword and shoulder armor has not been used for a long time, it has been well maintained.
After the third uncle left, Duke Chen immediately went back to pack up his things.
The things were just a simple cleaning and they immediately went out and returned to the yamen.
"You are going to take leave for so long? Is there anything wrong?" Lord Li asked in shock.
Duke Chen said with a frown: "My mother is seriously ill and there is no mistress at home to take care of her. There must be someone around her."
Lord Li snorted, "Is there no maid in the mansion? Do you want you to take care of yourself?"
Lord Li never said such excessive words, but this old lady was too excessive.
Especially Chen Shouye is also very disappointing. He is so stupid and filial.
However, using filial piety as an excuse, he could not fail to fulfill his promise. Seeing that he insisted on doing this, he said, "Since this is your own meaning, how can I not fulfill my promise? Just a colleague, you and I are the best friends. There is a truth to say, I just say it, it is your business whether you listen or not."
Duke Chen was anxious to leave, but he couldn't show it. He just nodded and said, "You said!"
Lord Li looked at him and said earnestly: "You know now that you blamed Jinning for mistakes and your mother's badness. I don't want you to destroy your future and cut off the rest of your life. This old lady is cruel. Just ask someone to take care of her. Just deal with it for two or three days and then go back to the yamen. Make some achievements, so that Jinning is proud of you, her father."
Duke Chen nodded, "I understand."
He turned around slowly, and tears suddenly surged in his eyes.
How many fathers think of him?
Back then, he worked hard to make Zhen Yi proud of him. He wanted to do something for Zhen Yi to show her to make her happy, happy and harmonious in this life.
He didn't do it.
The moment he walked out of the inspection office, his heart was firm.
Concealing the imperial court to go to the battlefield privately is a death sentence.
He is destined to be unable to come back.
When he rode his horse back home, he personally told the housekeeper to come.
He looked at the housekeeper with a serious expression.
The housekeeper looked down on him a little before, but when he saw the sword he placed next to him and the armor stacked on the table, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.
"Dude!"
Duke Chen looked at him and said coldly: "I will not blame the secret matters you conspired with Changsun before. From today on, the third lady and I are not in the mansion. You will preside over all matters in the mansion and take good care of Miss Jinxian. As for the eldest son who is serving in the palace now, he rarely comes back. If he comes back, you will definitely take his words as a command. Do you know?"
The housekeeper asked, "Dude, where are you going?"
Duke Chen said lightly: "The old lady is seriously ill, and it seems that it is not helpful. I went back to my hometown early to choose a good cemetery for the old lady, so that she can enjoy peace for a hundred years. During my absence, you will try your best to take care of the old lady, but she is seriously ill and can't live well. I mean, live... it will be done. How do I take care of the old lady with the third lady on weekdays? You can take care of it, and you must not add or reduce it!"
The housekeeper naturally understood and said, "Yes, the slave knows."
"Go, if you do these things well, wait for the third lady to come back, you will benefit you."
Duke Chen sighed softly and waved his hand to ask him to go out.
The housekeeper didn't know what he was going to do, but from the tips of his eyebrows, he could see the fire he had had many years ago.
The cluster of flames in my eyes.
Duke Chen disguised himself as he rode his horse out of the city that night.
Imperial Palace, in Qiankun Palace.
Today is not the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but the emperor stayed in the empress's harem.
The emperor was full of worries.
Queen Yuan was a clear-minded person. Seeing that he was frowning, she asked him to lie down and rub the acupoints on his head with his fingers.
"The emperor has something to worry about?"
Empress Yuan is over 40 years old this year and is well maintained. Therefore, although she is in charge of harem affairs, she is not very involved in favor and is not sad, so she naturally looks young.
The emperor closed his eyes and felt her fingers pressing back and forth on the temples and Zanzhu acupoints. His body's comfort failed to dispel the worries in his heart.
After hearing the queen's question, he sighed almost intimately, "You have always been very keen. Do you know what the Queen Mother means?"
Empress Yuan was slightly stunned, not knowing what the emperor meant.
But the emperor, regardless of whether she understood or not, said to himself, "I haven't asked my mother about the affairs of the government for a long time, are she unhappy? Or do she think I did something wrong?"
He said, sighing and crying, "It's really ironic. The civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom actually asked a woman to kill the enemy in front of the formation. What did the mother think? Did she really hope that Chen Jinning died on the battlefield?"
Queen Yuan eats and drinks, "Women go to the battlefield? How is that?"
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Empress Yuan, "Do you think it's ridiculous, do you? But this is the decision of Empress Yuan."
Empress Yuan was stunned, "Did the Empress Dowager have other arrangements?"
"I thought it was, I had already investigated, but I didn't. Her personal guards and the Supreme Emperor's personal guards had not been transferred, which shows that she had no other arrangements."
The emperor was really puzzled. What was the purpose of the mother sacrificing these three thousand people?
Empress Yuan comforted: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. The Empress Dowager can only do it, and she must have her intention."
