Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 713 Concubine Xiao is pregnant! ?

Jiang Chen saw the emotional look on the Dajing Emperor's face, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I think that General Luo is loyal to Dajing no matter what!"

"Perhaps General Luo did not smuggle. Or perhaps... General Luo has his own reasons?"

"Difficulties? What difficulties?"

Emperor Dajing frowned.

"I have always trusted him so much. If he has any difficulties, he can tell me!"

"Why is it so?"

Emperor Dajing said this with gritting teeth!

When Jiang Chen heard what Emperor Dajing said, he instantly realized that Emperor Dajing had probably confirmed that General Luo was involved in smuggling.

That's why he directly doubted General Luo's so-called difficulties.

Jiang Chen didn't want to say anything more.

But thinking about how Emperor Dajing had treated him well in the past, he couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, I think General Luo is doing this for the sake of peace on the border and the lives of the border troops!"

"Your Majesty has never been to the border, so I'm afraid you don't know... the border is really hard."

“The border is hard!?”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dajing laughed coldly: "Lord Jiang, you said that life on the border is hard, but do you know that nearly half of the court's annual tax revenue is spent on the border?"

“Is the border still hard?!”

"This……"

When Jiang Chen heard what Emperor Dajing said, he was speechless for a moment.

What should he say?

Or what can he say!?

Dajing spent a lot of money on the border troops, but... none of the money reached the border troops!

He was afraid that even if he told this to Emperor Dajing, the other party would not understand, so...it was better not to say it.

"Lord Jiang, please go down. I want to be alone."

"Wei Chen resigns!"

……

Jiang Chen left the imperial study and walked out of the palace.

For some reason, after seeing Emperor Dajing express his true feelings today, he felt that this emperor was very pathetic.

Not only did the officials in the court deceive their superiors and subordinates, but they also took bribes and committed corruption.

Even Emperor Dajing himself didn't know where he went wrong.

In the hands of such people, Dajing will only become more and more miserable, and will eventually be swallowed up!

It seems that he needs to speed up and occupy Dajing!

But what Jiang Chen didn't know was that he had to speed up!

Because...something happened in the harem!

In Concubine Xiao's bedroom, she was sitting on the couch with a melancholy look on her face.

Her period should have come a long time ago, but till now, she still hasn't come!

Plus, she's been sleepy lately and has frequent nocturnal urination...

Isn't this the sign of pregnancy that the old lady at home told her?

If she gets pregnant, she's dead!

If she had had a relationship with Emperor Dajing, perhaps everything would be easier to explain!

But the problem is, she and Emperor Dajing have never had one!

So once her belly gets bigger, it will definitely be exposed!

By then, not only her, but Jiang Chen will probably be in crisis too!

"No! This matter must be told to Jiang Chen as soon as possible!"

Concubine Xiao hurriedly called her trusted palace maid and ordered her to leave the palace to deliver the letter!

On the other hand, Jiang Chen didn't know that Concubine Xiao was already pregnant with his child.

At this time, after Jiang Chen returned to Kyoto Prefecture, he ordered people to find Luo Ye.

He felt that it would be better to explain the matter of the Minister of Revenue to Luo Ye so that Luo Ye would not have any more illusions.

When Luo Ye learned that Jiang Chen was looking for him, he hurried to the Kyoto government office.

"Old Nine! What's the situation?!"

Luo Ye looked at Jiang Chen excitedly!

……

In Luo Ye's opinion, with Jiang Chen stepping forward, there shouldn't be any problem with this matter!

But Jiang Chen's words disappointed Luo Ye!

"Fifth brother, His Majesty did not agree." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

"What!?"

Luo Ye looked incredulous!

"Old Nine, you are not kidding me, are you?"

"Your Majesty...how could you not agree?"

"you……"

"Fifth brother, His Majesty said..."

Jiang Chen did not hide anything and directly said everything that Emperor Dajing said.

After Luo Ye heard Jiang Chen’s words, he was completely stunned!

"Your Majesty, is that true? He...he thinks I am unsuitable?"

"Fifth brother, don't think too much. If His Majesty thinks you are not suitable, then forget it."

"You'll have another chance later!"

Jiang Chen didn't know how to comfort Luo Ye, so he could only try his best to speak.

But Luo Ye left in a daze.

"Oh! Why bother?"

Jiang Chen looked at Luo Ye's leaving back, feeling helpless.

Luo Ye is also a miserable person!

He was determined to join the civil service and change the situation of the military officers!

But now all these situations indicate that he did something wrong!

This...will this make Luo Ye feel comfortable?

At this moment, Xu Meng came into the hall.

"My Lord! Someone just delivered a letter!"

"Hmm? Sending a letter? Who?"

Jiang Chen was slightly startled when he heard Xu Meng's words.

"It was a woman! She wanted to hand the letter to you in person, but I said you were busy, so she left." Xu Meng told everything.

"A woman?"

"Who could that be?"

Jiang Chen couldn't figure out who it was.

He reached out and took the letter from Xu Meng!

However, after opening the letter, Jiang Chen stood up in shock!

"Pregnant!?"

……

"Um!?"

When Xu Meng heard Jiang Chen's words, he was also stunned!

pregnant?

Who is pregnant?

The Marquis is so excited, could it be Her Royal Highness the Princess?

But Xu Meng didn't know that this person's pregnancy was even more shocking than Her Royal Highness the Princess's pregnancy!

Jiang Chen looked at the letter in his hand, unable to come back to his senses for a long time!

Concubine Xiao is pregnant!

Concubine Xiao is pregnant with his child!

What should I do?

Now that Concubine Xiao is in the palace, if anyone knew that she was pregnant, she would be doomed!

No!

He must get Concubine Xiao out!

"Brother Xu, if I ask you to go to the palace and bring someone out, can you do it?"

Jiang Chen stared at Xu Meng and asked.

"Um!?"

Xu Meng was stunned by Jiang Chen's question!

Go to the palace and bring someone out! ?

Then...who could it be?

"My Lord, I can try, but... I don't have much confidence!"

"Is that person a master?"

"If so, maybe!"

Xu Meng said respectfully.

"What if it's an ordinary person?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

"Ordinary people..."

Xu Meng was stunned!

If it were an ordinary person, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

The palace is heavily guarded, how could anyone be brought out so easily?

Jiang Chen looked at Xu Meng and already knew the answer!

It seems that Xu Meng is unreliable!

He himself is talking nonsense!

Although he has space, space cannot hold living things!

This...what should I do!

Got it!

Jiang Chen suddenly thought of something, maybe... that person has a way!

Jiang Chen hurriedly left the Kyoto government office and came all the way to the Dongfang family!

Perhaps only Dongfang Wan'er can help him now!
