Chapter 270 Qin Yi's Expedition

——Inside the Palace of Qinzheng

Led by Eunuch Liu, Qin Yi went outside the Hall of Qinzheng.

"Lord Qin, His Majesty is waiting for you in the hall!" Eunuch Liu said openly.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Qin Yi nodded, and walked into the hall after speaking lightly.

Eunuch Liu stood guard outside the hall, motionless.

Qin Yi pushed the door open and entered. The candle was brightly lit. The man sat with his back straight and bowed his head to write something.

"Your Majesty." Qin Yi said quietly.

Gu Jingyao looked up at him, "Qin Yi, come here."

Qin Yi walked over, looked at Gu Jingyao and said, "I don't know why your Majesty summoned the minister so late?"

"How is Zhu'er learning recently?" Gu Jingyao looked at him and asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, the princess is talented and intelligent, and she studies well." Qin Yi remained expressionless.

"That's good." Gu Jingyao was quite relieved. He couldn't bear to teach Li Xiaozhu himself, but he couldn't bear to see her suffer.

"Your Majesty's meeting with the minister is not just to ask about the princess, is it?" A pair of eagle eyes were sharp under the gleaming mask.

Gu Jingyao smiled, looked at his eyes with a little more appreciation, and nodded calmly, "It is true. Today, my two children originally returned to Beijing from Mobei, but they have not arrived. I received a secret report. Gu Jingcheng hijacked them." Gu Jingyao said calmly, but Qin Yi frowned slightly.

"Gu Jingcheng?" Qin Yi frowned and repeated, looking at him as if confirming.

"Yes, I don't have the skills to separate myself but I can't leave Beijing easily, so I hope you can lead five thousand elite soldiers to Mobei to assist Han Xiujin in rescuing the princess and His Royal Highness, and wipe out the enemy army by the way!" Gu Jingyao paused every word.

Qin Yi frowned slightly, neither agreed nor refused.

"In Beijing, you are the only one who knows Gu Jingcheng best and can save people from his hands. I hope you don't let me down!" Gu Jingyao looked at him meaningfully.

"I am willing to lead the army, and I will definitely not let down your majesty's intentions!" Qin Yi soon understood that Gu Jingyao wanted to make meritorious deeds so that he could have already entered into a marriage contract with Li Xiaozhu.

"Okay, then I'll leave my children to you! Gu Jingyao patted him on the shoulder and instructed carefully.

"Yes! I'm leaving!" Qin Yi bowed his head and saluted, then turned and left.

The Qin family has fallen, and now they have no power in the capital, not even wealthy merchant families. If Gu Jingcheng can be captured during the Northern Expedition, the emperor will definitely reward him heavily. At that time, he will have some position, so he can naturally marry Li Xiaozhu.

But at this moment, Li Xiaozhu was unaware of all this, and with the support of the maid, she limped towards the Queen's Palace.

"Huh? Why is the palace door closed tightly in the mother's palace? Could it be that the elder sister and father came back, and the mother simply closed the palace door for fear of being disturbed?" Li Xiaozhu was a little strange, and the casual maid came forward and knocked on the palace door.

Soon, it opened at the sound.

"My maidservant pays respects to Princess Qingfeng!" The maid bowed her head, her face was not happy, but a little worried.

"Excuse me." Li Xiaozhu waved his hand weakly.

The palace maid immediately turned around and helped Li Xiaozhu walk into the palace. There was silence everywhere. Li Xiaozhu was a little strange, and turned to look at the palace maid who opened the door, "What's wrong with the palace? Why did you close the palace door early? Could it be that the queen mother is not feeling well?"

Her eyes were slightly evaporating, and her heart became more and more worried. She blamed this Qin Yi for insisting on pulling her to practice martial arts, so that he could not be filial to the queen's side.

"Slaves dare not speak nonsense, the princess should ask the empress herself." The maid lowered her head and spoke in deliberation.

The smile on Li Xiaozhu's face instantly subsided, and he quickened his pace towards the main hall. He couldn't be really sick, could he?She was just guessing casually, her mother has been practicing martial arts for many years, and has always been immune to all kinds of poisons, so how could she get sick?Where did my sister and Nian'er go?

"Boom boom boom!"

Li Xiaozhu knocked on the door of the palace, "Queen Mother, I have come to see you!"

"Come in!" A slightly weak female voice came from inside.

Li Xiaozhu's brows became more and more condensed, he pushed the door open and went in. On the bed, there was a woman lying sickly on it, her eyes were full of melancholy, completely different from what she saw in the afternoon.

Li Xiaozhu had never seen such a slumped Qiuye pear, and he panicked for a while, "Mother! Mother, what's wrong with you! What's wrong? I'll ask Dad to find you the most powerful doctor in the world. I can cure you." Li Xiaozhu's eyes turned red instantly, looking at her with pain and worry, wishing that he was the one lying on the bed at the moment.

"I'm fine, but I'm just a little tired. Zhu'er has practiced martial arts for a day, but is she tired? Go back and rest earlier." Qiu Yeli forced a smile, frowned and said.

Li Xiaozhu checked carefully, and saw that she was just a bit sleepy, and there was nothing wrong with her, so he relaxed a little, and prepared to have the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital come to treat her for a while. It's hard to heal by yourself, it's better to be quiet.

"Zhu'er is not tired, Zhu'er wants to be with her mother," Li Xiaozhu shook her head firmly, why did she let her leave so obviously, could something have happened?

"Mother, can my sister and brother enter the palace? Where are they now? Zhu'er brought a meeting gift!" Li Xiaozhu smiled and presented a box of treasures.

"They." Qiu Yeli looked embarrassed, and the maid who was serving at the side immediately turned and left with a wink, leaving only the big palace maid standing aside and waiting to serve.

"Mother, tell me quickly!" Seeing this, Li Xiaozhu was so anxious but helpless, he paced back and forth, secretly guessing in his heart that something must have happened, otherwise Qiu Yeli couldn't have reacted like this, "Mother, they Is something wrong?"

Li Xiaozhu asked word by word with trembling voice.

"Yue'er and Nian'er were taken away by Gu Jingcheng." Qiu Yeli was already very anxious, wishing to fly to Mobei immediately and see Gu Jingcheng's head with his own hands. If he hadn't caused trouble, they wouldn't have struggled like this.

"The queen mother and the emperor father have sent troops to rescue them. They are still so young, how can they survive such a toss!" Li Xiaozhu looked anxious, thinking the same as Qiu Yeli.

"Zhu'er, relax, your father intends to let Qin Yi lead the army to attack and save people." Qiu Yeli comforted softly, but Li Xiaozhu shouted loudly, "Qin Yi? But he was filial and loyal to Gu Jingcheng before, and his father sent him troops to fight against Gu Jingcheng, which is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, so what if they join forces to deal with father?" Li Xiaozhu was extremely puzzled and disagreed.

Qiu Yeli nodded, relieved in her heart that she had grown up and had her own ideas when thinking about things, but she still patiently explained, "No, once the emperor and the courtiers, Qin Yi's filial loyalty has never been Gu Jingcheng but can A Mingjun who brings blessings to the people of the world, and now he will never betray the Gu family."
