Chapter 440 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 51
Pei Qin said: "By the way, Princess, our people in the palace have found out that one of the emperor's concubines, Jiang, is pregnant for about a month."

Upon hearing the news, Ling Xi's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Is this news true?"

"It's true. The maid assigned to Concubine Jiang has checked her pulse and confirmed that she is already one month pregnant."

Pei Qin smiled confidently and with determination.

Ling Xi stroked his fingers and asked, "Have the little emperor and Qi Zhenzhen known this news?"

Pei Qin: "Princess, they probably don't know yet. Concubine Jiang hasn't summoned the imperial physician yet, and she hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy."

Hearing this, Ling Xi's eyes flashed with a smile, "Then let's be kind and tell them about this matter after the little King Nanchen leaves Zhongzhou."

Hearing this, Pei Qin's clever brain turned and he immediately figured out why he had to do this.

Now the young emperor has no children yet, so if Qi Zhenzhen wants to rule the country from behind the scenes, she can only rely on her son.

But once the little emperor had a child, the situation was different.

It has been very common since ancient times for a woman to hold her child in her arms and rule the country from behind the scenes.

Therefore, Qi Zhenzhen will definitely pay special attention to this child.

As for her son, if he is obedient, it would be fine, but if he is not, Qi Zhenzhen will not hold back.

"Yes, Princess. I obey your command."

Ling Xi thought about it and ordered, "Pay attention to the little emperor, don't let Qi Zhenzhen kill him."

Pei Qin naturally understood why Ling Xi did this. His eyes darkened, but he still obeyed the order and said, "I understand."

"After a while, you can hand over the affairs of Zhongzhou City to others."

Pei Qin was puzzled: "Where should the subordinates go?"

Ling Xi smiled and said, "You go to Taiyuan County. The one in the palace is fine. Although Jin Rong is a fool, there are more than a dozen generals in the Taiyuan Army. Although there are already a few of our people among them, and there is also one of my people beside Jin Rong, but that is not enough. You need to wait for an opportunity to enter the Taiyuan Army and gain Jin Rong's trust in a short time."

At this point, Ling Xi's smiling eyes suddenly darkened: "If you are sure, replace all the generals in the Taiyuan Army who cannot be bribed by us with our people. It would be best to replace Jin Rong as well."

When Pei Qin heard about this task, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He was very happy about this matter.

The Taiyuan Army is the largest military force in Northern Chen except for the Nanchen King’s Army. More importantly, Taiyuan is very close to Zhongzhou, so it won’t take long for them to reach Zhongzhou City.

If they could control the Taiyuan Army, it would be a powerful weapon for them, Nan Xiao.

He would do anything that was beneficial to Nan Xiao.

"Yes, princess."

Ling Xi looked at Pei Qin's excited expression and couldn't help laughing.

Pei Qin has evil thoughts about Nan Xiao.

Ever since he knew that she and her brother were planning to take over Northern Chen, he had been extremely active and wished he could split himself into eight people.

"There is one more thing," Ling Xi looked at Pei Qin, "Liu Zixing in the palace is not a simple person. Send a few people to him. Remember to be careful. Also, whisper in his ear frequently to stir up the thoughts in his heart. Tell him that we are from Taiyuan County and can lend him a helping hand. He has a personal relationship with Jin Rong and will believe us."

Liu Zixing was an ambitious man with great endurance. She didn't believe that such a man would not have ulterior motives.

"I have a feeling that the issue of Northern Chen will be resolved when the little emperor's child is about to be born. By then, let those in Zhongzhou who need to move start moving, and try to move as big as possible. If they don't move, we will push them to move."

Ling Xi knocked on the table and made the decision.

Since ancient times, the downfall of a country often begins with internal problems.

There are too many problems in Beichen, but because of Zhou Shengchen, those problems are hidden and not taken seriously.

This time, she wanted to use their own hands to get rid of Zhou Shengchen. Without Zhou Shengchen, Bei Chen was like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"I will remember this and will not disappoint your majesty and the princess."

Pei Qin knelt on one knee with his fists clasped, his handsome and resolute face showing seriousness, as if he was willing to sacrifice himself for Nan Xiao at the next moment.

Ling Xi helped Pei Qin up and said with a smile: "My brother and I believe in your ability. All these years, thanks to you, my brother and I will remember this credit in our hearts."

Pei Qin lowered his head in embarrassment after hearing Ling Xi's words. He blushed and said, "It is my honor to work for your Majesty and the princess."

Ling Xi stood on tiptoe and patted Pei Qin on the shoulder. It was really lucky for his brother to have Pei Qin.

After finishing the story, Ling Xi left Qi Jinchao.

After returning to the palace, Ling Xi learned another piece of news from Zhou Shengchen.

The emperor wanted Xie Chong to stay in Zhongzhou to assist him.

This is not good news.

Ling Xi looked at Zhou Shengchen suspiciously and asked, "So, you agreed?"

Zhou Shengchen shook his head in frustration: "I didn't agree. Everything is up to the military advisor to decide."

"Has the military advisor agreed?" Ling Xi asked.

Zhou Shengchen hesitated for a moment, and Xie Chong and Xie Chen walked in from outside.

That look made Zhou Shengchen and Ling Xi's hearts skip a beat.

Ling Xi had no taboos and asked directly: "Military Advisor, do you plan to stay in Zhongzhou?"

Xie Chong's eyes were red, and he forced a smile: "Could it be that Ling Xi can read minds?"

Ling Xi's face changed, and his eyes trembled: "Military Advisor, do you know that Zhongzhou is full of dangers and scheming at every step?"

Xie Chong looked at the woman he had taught and said, "Don't worry, Ling Xi. I was in Zhongzhou before, and I know the dangers here better than you do."

"Then why are you, military advisor?"

"Ling Xi!"

Ling Xi wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Zhou Shengchen.

Ling Xi looked at Zhou Shengchen, but stopped talking when she saw his red eyes.

Forget it, Ling Xi clenched his hands. It would only be ten months before all this would be over.

She was afraid that what she did would put Xie Chong in danger, but nothing in the world is absolute.

Then just send a message and ask the people in Zhongzhou to protect Xie Chong.

Zhou Shengchen walked up to Xie Chong and asked, "Has the military advisor decided to stay?"

Xie Chong nodded: "Yes, this time, I can't accompany Your Highness back to Xizhou."

Zhou Shengchen held Xie Chong's arm, feeling bitter in his heart.

"Nothing, Xizhou will always be the military advisor's home."

Xie Chong felt uncomfortable as well, but for the sake of Beichen, Nanchen Palace and Xizhou, it would be more beneficial for him to stay in Zhongzhou.

"Your Highness, remember to bury me in Xizhou in the future."

Ling Xi turned her head away and stopped watching the tearful scene between them.

Nine months is not a long time, it goes by very quickly.
