Chapter 447 Zhou Shengchen 58
Qi Zhenzhen looked at Ling Xi eagerly and asked, "I wonder if Doctor Ling Xi is willing to do this for me?"

If someone who didn't know the situation saw her like this, they would probably think she was sincerely asking Ling Xi to do something for her.

Ling Xi bent down and said, "I will obey the Queen Mother's order."

Hearing this, Qi Zhenzhen's smile deepened.

It is said that ever since Ling Xi left the 5,000 royal troops in Qinghe County and followed the carriage of the Yu family to Zhongzhou City, the generals of the 5,000 royal troops immediately sent people to ride back to Xizhou at full speed to report the news.

They rode at full speed all the way, and the journey that usually took three days was shortened to just one and a half days.

The messenger ran away with three horses before returning to the Wang army camp in Xizhou.

In the military camp of King Nanchen's army, Zhou Shengchen was training soldiers and competing in martial arts with Hong Xiaoyu and others.

At this time, someone came up to them and reported: "Report, Your Highness, someone from Qinghe came and said they have something urgent to tell Your Highness."

When Zhou Shengchen heard that the person was from Qinghe, he immediately put down what he was doing.

Hong Xiaoyu, Feng Qiao, Xie Yun and others also stopped their actions immediately.

Feng Qiao was very excited and happy: "Qinghe, that's the matter between Ah Xi and Junior Sister."

"Speaking of which, Ah Xi has been accompanying Junior Sister to Qinghe for nearly a month. Is Ah Xi coming back?"

Zhou Shengchen said to the soldier who reported the incident, "Go and let the messenger in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The soldier who reported the news outside ran in, exhausted, knelt down in front of Zhou Shengchen, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I have something to report on behalf of our general."

"Is Ling Xi coming back?" Zhou Shengchen asked.

The soldier who reported the news shook his head and said, "Your Highness, no, Military Doctor Ling Xi went to Zhongzhou with the carriage of the Yi family two days ago, but he ordered 5,000 of us to stay in Qinghe. Our general felt something was wrong, so he sent his subordinates back to report to Your Highness."

When Zhou Shengchen heard the soldier who brought the news say that Ling Xi followed the Yi family to Zhongzhou, his smiling face suddenly changed: "What did you say? She went to Zhongzhou!"

"Yes, everything I said is true."

Hong Xiaoyu asked: "Do you know why Ling Xi went to Zhongzhou?"

The soldier who reported the news shook his head: "I don't know."

Now, not only Zhou Shengchen, but also Hong Xiaoyu, Feng Qiao and others turned unhappy.

What kind of place is Zhongzhou? It’s a den of tigers and wolves!

Is that a place you can go anywhere?
Hong Xiaoyu looked at Zhou Shengchen and whispered, "Master, is it true that Ling Xi is accompanying Junior Sister to Zhongzhou to get married, and will come back after Junior Sister's wedding is over?"

Zhou Shengchen's face was gloomy: "Not necessarily, maybe something happened in Zhongzhou."

"Xiao Yu, Feng Qiao, Xie Yun, call the troops and follow me to Zhongzhou. However, tell the soldiers not to wear armor and to pretend to be ordinary people. We will go to Zhongzhou in several groups and not to arouse suspicion."

"Tianxing, stay in Zhongzhou and be alert to the enemy's invasion."

"Yes, Master."

Immediately, Zhou Shengchen, Hong Xiaoyu, Feng Qiao, Xie Yun and others divided their troops into four groups and headed towards Zhongzhou from several directions.

Returning to the Zhongzhou Palace, after receiving Qi Zhenzhen's instructions, Ling Xi prescribed a very mild drug for inducing labor, and the body could recover through conditioning afterwards without any sequelae.

The little emperor was imprisoned by Qi Zhenzhen, and the bedroom where he lived was naturally heavily guarded. Two rows of soldiers stood at the door, giving the little emperor no chance to escape.

Carrying the medicine box into the little emperor's bedroom, Ling Xi saw the little emperor Liu Hui sitting next to a pregnant woman. He was touching the woman's belly with a gentle expression, with a faint smile and deep sadness on his face.

Although they are imprisoned here, the atmosphere between the two is peaceful and quiet, and they seem to be a couple with a good relationship.

It's a pity that if Ling Xi didn't come, it would be unknown whether they could give birth to the baby safely or survive after giving birth.

Ling Xi had long guessed that the young emperor could not defeat Qi Zhenzhen, and her guess was indeed correct. It had been less than ten months since the last incident between Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan, and even with Xie Chong assisting him during these months, the young emperor still could not take power back from Qi Zhenzhen.

Instead, he was imprisoned again, and his life was in danger again. This time, his beloved woman and his unborn child were also in danger.

To put it nicely, you are too kind and not cruel enough.

To put it bluntly, he is cowardly and incompetent, and is like a piece of mud that cannot be helped.

In Ling Xi's opinion, people like Liu Hui are the most helpless.

This is also what makes those who assist him the most anxious and angry.

Because he is neither bad nor foolish, and if you look closely, he even has some qualities of a wise ruler.

It's just that he is kind-hearted and weak. He can't bear to be cruel and he doesn't even have the courage to resist.

This is the most frustrating part.

Today is not a prosperous time, but a chaotic time.

What troubled times need is not a kind and loving king, but a decisive and ruthless monarch who can end this troubled times.

In this world, what a king needs is ambition and ruthlessness.

In this chaotic world, any extra kindness will be swallowed up without leaving even a trace.

So, Liu Hui is not suitable to be an emperor.

Hearing the noise, Liu Hui said without even raising his head: "Put your things down and get out now."

Ling Xi put down the medicine box and said, "Your Majesty, it's me."

Hearing Ling Xi's voice, Liu Hui sat up and then saw Ling Xi's surprised look.

He asked in great surprise: "Aunt Huang, why are you here?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Hui's face flashed with joy, and he looked behind Ling Xi: "Aunt, is it the uncle who came to save me?"

Ling Xi did not bother about his address, sat down, met his innocent eyes full of expectation, and shook her head slowly: "The prince is not here, only I am here, your majesty will be disappointed."

Liu Hui was indeed disappointed to hear that Zhou Shengchen was not there.

In his heart, the emperor's uncle is always omnipotent and can always save him from danger.

Although such things were embarrassing for him as an emperor, he would get used to it.

Upon learning that Zhou Shengchen didn't come, Liu Hui cast his hopeful gaze on Ling Xi again and asked anxiously, "Why is the Imperial Aunt in Zhongzhou? Did the Queen Mother capture you?"

It doesn’t matter if the imperial uncle is not here now. The imperial aunt is here and the imperial uncle will always come.

"The Queen Mother had ordered the daughter of the Yi family to come to Zhongzhou to marry the Prince of Guangling. The daughter of the Yi family is my junior sister, and I accompanied her to Zhongzhou to get married. Then, I was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, and I couldn't leave."

Ling Xi briefly explained the reason for the incident, and even though there were some loopholes, Liu Hui had no doubts.

Liu Hui asked cautiously and tentatively: "Then Auntie, I want to know, will Uncle come?"

Looking at the little emperor's expression, Ling Xi couldn't help but wonder what the people who had taught the little emperor were doing for a living.

"Not necessarily. Maybe he will come, maybe he won't." Ling Xi gave an ambiguous answer.

Zhou Shengchen will come, because the people she sent will ask Zhou Shengchen for help in the name of the little emperor.

So he had to come even if he didn't want to.

The final outcome of this play is destined and no one can change it.
