All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

Chapter 242: Just Cooperation, Not Husband and Wife

"I dare not."

Xia Chan knew that the other party looked down on her.

She didn't ask him to like her right away.

She stood on the steps, looking down at Hu Xiusheng standing below. "Since grain production cannot be increased, we can try to improve seeds and fertilizers."

"War is a waste of money and manpower, and in the end, you may not get any benefit at all."

"With the strength of our Southern Xinjiang, we are not qualified to lose the bet."

Hu Xiusheng was obsessed with getting land and was willing to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers from southern Xinjiang for it.

Xia Chan thought this was inappropriate.

Wei Jin's soldiers cannot be used in useless wars.

His soldiers will be used to deal with the Shenyin Cult.

Moreover, if they rashly sent out troops, even if they won, it would be a waste of money and manpower. If they lost, then Wei Jin would definitely be the one to be liquidated.

Xia Chan didn't want this to happen from the bottom of his heart.

So naturally she had to stop it.

Hu Xiusheng was already feeling a little depressed, and now he heard Xia Chan say so much, but Wei Jin remained silent.

This made Hu Xiusheng even more dissatisfied with Xia Chan.

He frowned and said, "Empress Xia, you are a woman living deep in the harem, enjoying fine clothes and delicious food every day. How can you comment on the affairs of the country casually?"

After saying that, he raised his hand and said to Wei Jin, "Your Majesty, our Southern Xinjiang Royal Court is named Wei."

Instead of the surname Xia.

However, Hu Xiushen did not say the latter sentence.

Xia Chan sneered.

Wei Jin looked a little unhappy.

Hu Xiusheng is a stubborn person. He only sees the benefits he wants to see and does not think about the overall situation.

Wei Jin's face darkened and he looked at Hu Xiusheng coldly.

"Master Hu, you need to figure out who you are talking to now."

"I remember saying that Concubine Xia is equal to me."

"You are disrespectful to Concubine Xia, which means you are disrespectful to me. Lord Hu, do you want to order me to do something, or do you think I am a tyrant? What you can see, I can't see."

Wei Jin was young, and some of the old ministers did not take him, the young king, seriously.

But that was all done in private, and no one dared to show it in the hall.

Of course, this was also the first time that Wei Jin questioned someone like this.

Hu Xiusheng felt a little embarrassed.

Sometimes blue, sometimes white.

The look he gave Xia Chan was full of obvious malice.

Xia Chan raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips and didn't take it to heart.

She held her belly with her hand and said to Wei Jin, "Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can I go back to the palace to rest?"

"I will accompany you."

As soon as Wei Jin finished speaking, he stepped forward and held Xia Chan's arm with his hand.

The two of them didn't care what other people in the hall thought, and they left the front hall and walked towards the back palace.

The place we went to was naturally where the summer cicadas lived.

Many eyes in the palace saw it.

Wei Jin, the King of Southern Xinjiang, really dotes on Concubine Xia.

Look at the other concubines in the palace. Is there anyone like Xia Chan? No matter where she goes, Wei Jin accompanies her?

But then again, who made Xia Chan the only pregnant concubine in the harem?

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the King of Nanjiang's first child. It is understandable that the King of Nanjiang would care a little about it.

Inside the palace, Hua He heard other people's discussions, she lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes.

The next moment, she raised her head, and the incomparably gentle look returned to her eyes.

He scolded the palace servants who were casually discussing Xia Chan and Wei Jin.

Even when he was scolding the palace maids, Hua He's attitude was extremely gentle.

"If the king hears you talking nonsense about your master, be careful with your tongue."

After saying this, she paused again and continued to add.

"Also, the king is seventeen and still has no children. Now that Concubine Xia is pregnant, it is reasonable for the king to pay more attention to her. You must stop talking nonsense."

The palace servants were scolded by their master and immediately fell silent, not daring to speak any more.

However, a personal maid beside Hua He was still somewhat dissatisfied.

After the others had left, she whispered, "Your Highness, you were conferred the title before Concubine Xia. According to the order, you should be pregnant first."

Not only did Xia Chan get pregnant first without regard for the order of arrival, she also showed no respect for Hua He, the sister who came into the family first.

This made Lian Xin feel very unfair for his master.

Even though Xia Chan is extremely beautiful, their queen has known the king since she was a teenager.

How could the king be so ungrateful?

Hua He looked at the indignant maid beside her and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Because she was a maid who grew up with her, she would be more real in front of her.

"What's the use of young friendship? Everyone knows that the king is completely bewitched by Concubine Xia."

"My queen, are we just going to watch this happen? Can't we do something to resist?"

"Resist? How can we resist?" Hua He raised his head with a sad expression on his face. "How can we resist the king's decision?"

"My lady..."

"Go down, I want to take a rest."

Hua He waved his hand, indicating that the topic was over.

Lian Xin was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

The queen is kind-hearted, but she can't just watch her being bullied.

There are some things that the Empress cannot do, but she can do them.

Lian Xin stepped out of the palace and quietly left the palace.

The place where summer cicadas live is called Juyue Palace, which means that one can bend down to catch the moon.

Wei Jin helped Xia Chan back with an angry expression on his face.

Ying Po saw everything clearly from the side, and she slowly stepped forward to serve.

"Your Majesty, will you have dinner here today?"

Wei Jin looked at Xia Chan.

Xia Chan curled the corners of his lips.

"Your Majesty, please have your meal here."

"Well."

Wei Jin finally said, "Go and prepare."

"Yes."

After Ying Po walked away and made sure that she could not hear them anymore, Xia Chan handed a pill to Wei Jin.

"She will put drugs in the food later. You should take this antidote pill first."

"it is good."

Wei Jin obediently took the detoxification pill given by Xia Chan.

No matter which of them it is, they all know who is the force behind Ying Po.

They cannot challenge that force for the time being.

You can only maintain the signs of poisoning on the surface.

Once they are ready and have successfully gained the other party's trust, they will crush the other party in one fell swoop!

Before that, you must be patient.

Be patient again and again.

Wei Jin took the detoxification pill given by Xia Chan and drank a glass of water.

"When are we going to do it?"

He asked Xia Chan.

Xia Chan reached out and touched her belly, feeling the slight movements of the baby in her belly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"You don't have to wait too long."

When she gave birth to the child, her master killed her.
