Seeing Qin Zhen's expression, Ji Xiaotang lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and called Madam Cheng over. Ji Xiaotang asked Madam Cheng to carry Xuan'er over to take care of her with the wet nurse.

Xuan'er was a little reluctant to leave. He was used to staying by Ji Xiaotang when he was awake, especially when Qin Zhen came back from outside. The two of them often had to play with him for a while until he was hungry or sleepy and fell asleep, and they were sent to the wet nurse.

And when he opened his eyes again, he could see Ji Xiaotang very quickly.

Now, he is still very energetic and wants to play with his parents for a while.

Xuan'er hummed and looked at Ji Xiaotang with big eyes a little aggrieved.

"Good Xuan'er, I have something to discuss with your father. You go and go to the nanny to play with the nurse. When my mother discusses with your father, I will go to find you." Ji Xiaotang rubbed Xuan'er's hand and coaxed Xuan'er.

After coaxing Xuan'er away, the smile on Ji Xiaotang's face slowly calmed down.

She looked at Qin Zhen seriously.

"Xiaotang..." Qin Zhen sighed secretly.

Ji Xiaotang was so smart that he didn't say anything, and she realized something was wrong. In the past, even if the two of them talked about important things, they never shy away from Xuan'er.

Ji Xiaotang did this now because he understood that the topic they were about to discuss would be cruel and not suitable for Xuan'er to hear it.

Although Xuan'er's age is not enough to understand and can't remember those complicated topics.

But Ji Xiaotang is so careful. Maybe Xuan'er won't remember what they said today, but their emotions will definitely infect Xuan'er. Ji Xiaotang doesn't want to leave anything, even a trace of shadow, for Xuan'er.

She protected her family and even more so.

"Prince, just say whatever you have." Ji Xiaotang said calmly to Qin Zhen.

"Xiaotang, don't be too anxious, it's nothing to do." Qin Zhen hurriedly comforted Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and did not respond. What she needs now is not comfort, but truth.

"Today, there were urgent documents sent by Zhenyang Mansion and Wuchang Mansion..." Some people from Zhenyang Mansion and Wuchang Mansion each raised troops to rebel, not only killing the guards of these two places, but also occupying several cities.

And these two rebels fought against Xian Song.

"They claimed to enter the capital, welcome Shunyibo to ascend the throne and become emperor, and restore the great Song Dynasty."

"This is not to welcome Huai Jin to become emperor, it is obviously because he wants his life!" Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but stand up and said angrily.

Qin Zhen didn't say anything for a while.

Ji Xiaotang calmed down his anger for a moment, and slowly sat back on the kang.

"Prince, according to you, what's going on in these two places? Is someone doing this on purpose and wanting to live in the life of Jin?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen. This was her first reaction.

In fact, since Empress Dowager Han learned about Princess Changning's death and later turbulent news spread across the country into the capital, Ji Xiaotang had a vague premonition.

But she never expected such a thing to happen. She had been on guard against her, and what she was guarding against was the revenge of Empress Dowager Han.

When Changning married his relatives to the Northern Barbarians, Empress Dowager Han took a series of revenge actions. Now, Changning is dead, and in the eyes of Empress Dowager Han, he still dies miserably, so Empress Dowager Han won’t just let it go.

Ji Xiaotang was very worried that the Ji family would be affected, and she also expected that Empress Dowager Han might be detrimental to her.

Think about it according to Empress Dowager Han's ideas and trace it back to the root of it. If Qi Younian was willing to marry Changning, there would be no future events. And Qi Younian refused to marry Changning because of her Ji Xiaotang.

Furthermore, when Changning died outside Zhenshan Pass, Empress Dowager Han might not be suspicious and hate Qi Younian.

But Zhenshanguan needs Qi Younian, and Empress Dowager Han cannot do anything to Qi Younian, and he may throw all his anger on her head.

Ji Xiaotang was ready, and Empress Dowager Han had not moved. She also thought that Empress Dowager Han was seriously ill and Qin Lin pressed him step by step, so she didn't care about this matter.

However, Empress Dowager Han's revenge will eventually come.

Ji Xiaotang was ready, but he didn't expect that there would be something like this that would require Xie Huaijin to live.

"Xiaotang, what do you mean? Did someone deliberately arrange these two people to take Shunyi Bo's life?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang.

"Yes, Prince. That's what I mean."

Qin Zhen thought for a while before shook his head.

"I don't think it's like."

In his opinion, these two people were just a group of desperate people. The name of Xie Huaijin was just because Xie Huaijin was a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty recognized by the court.

"Although these two rebellions are coming in a fierce manner, they are not afraid." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang that at today's dynasty meeting, Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing had issued an order to mobilize the government troops near the two prefectures to encircle and suppress them from all directions.

Although the rebellion in both places is not fearful, it does not mean that Xie Huaijin will be fine.

"So, what can the Empress Dowager say about Shunyi Bo?" Ji Xiaotang hurriedly asked again.

"Xiaotang, you care about Shunyi Bo." Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang had always been calm and self-control, but today he was a little out of control.

"Of course." Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen and sighed softly. Qin Zhen knew the past between her and Xie Huaijin.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

"We have known each other since we were young, and we can be said to have grown up together. The Xie family is sorry for us, but the Xie uncle and Huai Jin don't have any place to let us down. I treat Huai Jin like brothers, and now he is not just alone, but also my sister and Qi Jin."

Of course, Xie Huaijin's affairs were directly related to Ji Xiaoyun and Qijin. Ji Xiaotang knew the seriousness of the matter, so he was so nervous.

"Prince, do you think the Empress Dowager will be detrimental to Huaijin?" Ji Xiaotang looked directly at Qin Zhen.

Although Qin Zhen was influenced by her, he has always been very good to Xie Huaijin. However, Qin Zhen's attitude cannot represent the attitude of the entire royal family.

Qin Zhen immediately understood that Ji Xiaotang asked whether Empress Dowager Han had murderous intentions towards Xie Huaijin, or that although the royal family had resettled Xie Huaijin, was he planning to let Xie Huaijin live in the end.

Although Ji Xiaotang was still young, he had been familiar with the classics and history with Master Ji Er since childhood. Descendants of the previous dynasty like Xie Huaijin, especially those who were directly qualified to inherit the throne, were even treated preferentially at the beginning, but in the end, many of them could not escape the word "death".

Throughout the dynasties, I would rather kill the wrong thing than let go of the chair. I am the most narrow-minded and cruelest.

Xie Huaijin was able to live safely to this day with their dedicated maintenance. However, the two thieves that appeared provided the cheapest excuse for Empress Dowager Han to get rid of Xie Huaijin.

Ji Xiaotang now wants to know the truth from Qin Zhen’s mouth.

"If Shunyi Bo hadn't been just a child in his mind, he wouldn't have lived until now." Qin Zhen told the truth.

Ji Xiaotang also knew this truth. What she didn't know was whether Empress Dowager Han would let Xie Huaijin live.

"It's hard to say." Qin Zhen pondered for a moment before saying.

Ji Xiaotang was also silent for a moment before nodding: "I understand."

She had known the answer long ago, but she was just lucky.

...

As Qin Zhen said, the rebellion in the Yang Mansion and Wuchang and Wu was soon put down by the official army, and the good news and the bandits' heads were sent to Beijing.

The officials and soldiers who quelled these two rebellions were both the confidants of Queen Mother Han.

Empress Dowager Han was also very energetic and even recovered a little. According to Qin Zhen, Empress Dowager Han's face finally had some blood on her face.

In the court, some people mentioned Shunyi Bo, and some even questioned that the rebellion in these two places was instructed by Shunyi Bo.

There was even another rumor that Shunyi Bo's stupidity was actually pretending to be a fool. He had long had a different ambitions. He continued to secretly continue his strength and contacted his old subordinates, intending to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Han's attitude towards this was very clear, and he beat back all the memorandums of impeachment of Shun Yibo.

But this did not reassure Ji Xiaotang.

Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er came to Prince An's mansion to find Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

"The prince knows more than anyone else what kind of person is that child Huaijin. The Empress Dowager has a pair of wise eyes. Which civil and military officials in the court is given for free? Who can't tell whether Huaijin is pretending or not..." Master Ji Er begged Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang to keep Xie Huaijin.

"It's not just that child Huai Jin, but Xiaoyun and Qijin. If they wanted Huai Jin's life, they wouldn't let Xiaoyun and Qijin go." Mrs. Ji Er said hurriedly, her eyes turned red.

"Huaijin and Xiaoyun took Qijin to Xinhuatang to find us. Huaijin didn't quite understand what happened, but Xiaoyun understood. Xiaoyun cried..." Mrs. Ji took Ji Xiaotang's hand. When Ji Xiaoyun cried, she couldn't continue talking.

Since he learned that a rebel attacked Shunyi Bo's banner, Ji Xiaoyun has been very frightened and has never eaten and slept well.

It would be fine if she had never been happy, but now she knew what happiness felt, but suddenly she was about to lose it in a blink of an eye. Ji Xiaoyun was able to hold on and not fall down, thanks to Xie Huaijin and Qijin in her heart, knowing the burden on her shoulders.

"I was originally hiding it from the old lady and didn't let her know. But somehow, the old lady knew it. The old lady was anxious to get angry and couldn't eat or sleep, so she had to come to you in person..."

If it weren't for the stopping Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er, Mrs. Ji would have really come to Prince An's Mansion in person.

The reason why Mr. Ji Er and Mrs. Ji came in such a hurry was also caused by Mrs. Ji.

"Although the Empress Dowager brought back all the memorials, we still had no idea." Master Ji Er told Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

"Even if my father-in-law and mother-in-law don't come, I will do my best to do this." Qin Zhen immediately expressed his opinion.

"Yes," Ji Xiaotang personally wiped the corners of Mrs. Ji Er's eyes with a wet veil. "Mom, dad, let alone Huai Jin married her sister, she still has seven kilograms. Even if it's just Huai Jin, I won't sit idly by."

"I know, I know." Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er nodded.

Of course they knew that Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang would do their best to protect Shunyi Bo Mansion. What they really care about was that even if Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen did their best, they could not save the person.

After all, Xie Huaijin's identity is there.

"What should come will always come. It's a blessing or a disaster, it's a disaster," several people discussed for a while, and Master Ji Er finally sighed, "You and I understand everything. As long as you do your best, no matter what the result is, you and you will not blame you."

After seeing off Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen looked at each other.

"Xiaotang..." Qin Zhen spoke first.

Ji Xiaotang knew what Qin Zhen was going to say, but raised his hand and refused to let him say it.

"Do your best and leave your destiny."

This is Ji Xiaotang's usual strategy.

The next day, Ji Xiaotang came to Xinhua Hall and met Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun in Xuanhua Hall.
