Jiang Xian ordered Yin Xia, the great palace maid next to the Empress Dowager, to call Brother Shen and others over, and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile: "He knows that you are awake, but I don't know how happy you are! And Brother Zhi and Taotao are also in the palace. They all hope that you will wake up soon!"

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, but said, "The children are also tired, so let them take a break for the time being. I have something to say to the prince alone, you all step back first!"

People in the warm chalet looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all very surprised.

It was Li Qian who came to his senses first, gently pinched Jiang Xian's hand, and said, "Then you go to Xinuan Pavilion to have tea first, I will accompany the Empress Dowager."

Jiang Xian wanted to wait and quietly hide somewhere and listen to what the Empress Dowager would say to Li Qian, but when she saw Li Qian's gaze that reassured her, she couldn't help but nod and walked out of the East Warm Pavilion with Bai Su and others.

Meng Fangling brought a chair in front of the Empress Dowager's bed, then arranged a tea and refreshment next to the small table, and then led the serving people in the house to retreat.

Li Qian sat down and leaned over and approached the Empress Dowager. His voice was low but firm and warm, saying, "Grandma, what do you want to say to me?"

He was a man who wades in a sea of ​​blood from the pile of corpses. He knew that the Empress Dowager had not had much time, and thought that the Empress Dowager would definitely not be at ease with Jiang Xian. After thinking about it, the Empress Dowager said, "I haven't had the chance to talk to you. When I first met Jianan, I followed Cheng'en to greet you. Jianan was thin and small at that time. At that time, I was thinking, don't you say that Princess Jianan is the pearl of the Forbidden City? Why did he feel like he was not full? It can be seen that this rumor killed people. Later, I went to the palace to be a guard and occasionally met the Princess, but whenever I saw it, I felt that the Princess was more beautiful. Later, I learned that you were choosing a son-in-law for the Princess. I was sad for a long time. Maybe it was because I was young at that time and I was unwilling to accept it when I encountered unsatisfactory things. Finally, I kidnapped Jianan and me back to Taiyuan regardless of the situation."

When Li Qian said this, it seemed like he was back to that time.

His eyes were filled with a smile and continued, "Jianan and I have been going through so many years, others have become more and more stable, and I am getting more and more worried - I am afraid that one day I will not do well and will be disliked by Jianan. In my heart, no one can go over Jianan.

"Grandma, I swear to you. If I feel sorry for Jianan at all, let me..."

Before he could say his oath, the Empress Dowager had already stretched out her thin hand and shook it weakly at him, panting and whispering: "I'm not talking about this! I'm not confused yet. I know you are good to Jianan. I'm not worried about this. I'm going to talk about you!"

Tell him about it?!

Apart from Jianan, what's there to say?!

Li Qian was a little confused.

A smile appeared on the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth, and she took a break, then she slowly said: "I heard that when you got the shipbuilding map of the Ministry of Works, you started to choose a location, and then built a dock in Tianjin. Later, you started building a ship, and sold the ship to Sichuan. Recently, a naval camp was built?"

Li Qian never hides these things from anyone.

He nodded, looked at the Empress Dowager patiently and seriously, waiting for her to speak.

The Empress Dowager sighed as she looked at it, and said with some emotion: "The destiny is normal, but only those who are virtuous are actually. I am over 70 years old, and I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy, and I have seen everything I should see. I have also protected everything I should protect. When I see Emperor Xiaozong, I can straighten my back and say I will not give up. When I send a mourning to me, do whatever you want, right? Although Zhao Xi is Baoning's nephew, you are her husband. When you kidnapped her and went to Shanxi, she can lie to me for you. It can be seen that in her heart, you are the most important thing. Don't let her down your deep affection!"

Li Qian was shocked.

After so many years, he and Jiang Xian always thought that the Empress Dowager did not know what happened back then. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager not only knew about it, but also hid it in his heart for so many years.

If someone else said this, Li Qian naturally had a thousand reasons to make excuses, but the Empress Dowager who said this was the Empress Dowager, and he was indeed too aggressive at the beginning. He suddenly turned red and said uneasy: "Grandma, I know I did something wrong in this matter, but I am to Baoning... I can't stand it if I think she will marry someone else..."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand again with difficulty and said angrily: "I know, I know. I don't mean to blame you. Sometimes you just take Baoning too seriously and hesitate when encountering things. This is not good. There will be a battle between you and the Marquis of Jinghai. Instead of swaying and making up your mind, you might as well make clear with Baoning. You can act well in the future, and your subordinates will know what you are going to do?"

Li Qian was ashamed when he heard this and murmured for a long time and couldn't speak.

The Empress Dowager did not urge him, and just lay there without saying a word to watch Li Qian.

Li Qian gritted his teeth, his expression seemed a little unpredictable.

Indeed, when he heard that the emperor went south, he had the idea of ​​competing with the Zhao family.

But Jiang Xian was kind-hearted and had little contact with these relatives and nobles in normal times. When those people came to find her, she didn't take it seriously, but in fact she helped them. But she didn't give them some silver like some other nobles. Instead, she asked Aji to arrange these people to do things and support herself with work, so her reputation was not obvious.

The less he was willing to make Jiang Xian sad.

Especially after Zhao Yi's death, Jiang Xian traveled thousands of miles away and risked his life to support Zhao Xi ascend the throne. If she either wanted to help Zhao Yi or the Zhao Dynasty, he would be even more unwilling to let Jiang Xian know his ambitions and his wishes.

But now that the Chao Pillars are in a state of collapse, it is an era of many heroes. How could he be willing to be so unknown?

But no matter how ambition is, it is not as happy as Jiang Xian.

After thinking about it, Li Qian finally decided to keep the same thing - if Zhao Xi did not doubt the employer, it would be fine if he didn't doubt the person. If Zhao Xi suspected the Li family, in order to protect himself, he would have to break up with Zhao Xi.

Who knew that Zhao Xi had attacked him first and ordered him to change his defense.

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Qian immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Xi, saying that the Tartars were cunning and had never abide by the treaty: "Please wait for another two years before making a decision."

Zhao Xi may think that Li Qian’s remarks were written in a tactful and humble manner, and he was in a good mood, so he actually agreed to change his defenses after two years.

This is already very telling.

Although Li Qian said that he would abide by the imperial edict in front of everyone outside, he felt very fucked and thought that he would teach Zhao Xi a lesson anyway.

He was already very careful, but he didn't expect to hide it from the Empress Dowager who was in Cining Palace.

No, maybe Jiang Xian had known it a long time ago, but it was just because he was not making any noise.

Li Qian was sweating on his forehead.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile and comforted him with a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, Bao Ning has been revolving around you and the child in the past few years, and she may not think deeply. She is afraid that she will hear this from other places, and you and your wife will definitely have a grudge.

"Grandma doesn't want you to do this!"
