Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

The Queen held Hexi's hand, patted it soothingly, and gently loosened Hexi's fist.

"Xi'er, you must stay calm. The imperial physician said that you need to rest and protect the fetus."

"Mother Empress, please tell me! I can do it!"

Seeing this, the queen shook her head, and she had another thing in her mind.

"Xi'er, now...what about the baby in your belly?" the queen said with difficulty.

The Fucha Mansion has now learned the news and heard that Guwaljia has fainted twice.

If she knew that Hexi was pregnant, she would definitely beg Hexi to keep the child.

But as a mother, she didn't want He Xi to keep him.

Just think of it as a mother's selfish desire. Without this child, perhaps He Xi can start her life a new way.

But once a child is born, it becomes a lifelong bond.

He Xi was silent. Compared to Fu Kang'an, she did not feel that real about the child in her belly.

"Empress Madam...I need to think about it." He Xi hesitated.

The Queen touched Hexi's head and lovingly embraced her again.

Hexi buried herself in the Queen's arms and cried quietly.

After Qing'er and Lanxin learned the news, they rushed to visit Hexi.

He Xi was the same as before and seemed to have survived.

But after Qing'er and Lanxin left, Hexi took off all her disguises.

Qing'er and Lanxin looked at each other and sighed to each other.

It seems that He Xi was seriously injured this time.

Under He Xi's strong request, she finally learned the truth.

It’s the White Lotus Sect again!

The last crackdown by Emperor Qianlong left them badly weakened, and now they have set their sights on the army.

It was also because of them that Fukangan's actions were exposed.

Good! Very good! Even a centipede is still alive. This time she will definitely catch all the remnants.

Hexi came to the imperial study to ask to see Qianlong.

"Fifth Princess, I will report this right away."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wu."

Qianlong was discussing follow-up matters with the ministers of the Ministry of War. He was a little surprised to hear that Hexi wanted to see him.

"You guys go back first."

"Yes."

Qianlong was also very sad these days. Fu Kang'an was not only his most favored minister and the most talented general of the new generation, but also his wife's nephew and son-in-law.

Qianlong was also very angry when this happened.

"See Huang Ama."

"Xi'er, no need to be polite."

The Queen blocked the news of Hexi's pregnancy, and Qianlong didn't know that Hexi was pregnant.

"Father Emperor, today I..."

"Xi'er, you don't need to say anything. I know everything. I will not let any of those remnants go! As for Yaolin, I believe that he will be blessed by heaven. I have already sent people to look for him."

Hexi nodded with red eyes, which made Qianlong feel distressed.

"Your Majesty, your daughter requests to participate in the elimination of the White Lotus Sect." Hexi said with a firm tone and looked at Qianlong with burning eyes.

Qianlong originally wanted to refuse. In the past two days, Hexi looked much more haggard.

"Xi'er, I have already sent someone..."

"Father, our daughter is pregnant." Hexi dropped the bombshell lightly, leaving Qianlong completely confused.

Pregnant, pregnant?

"If I don't kill those evildoers with my own hands, I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"Xi'er, are you pregnant?!"

"Yes, Father Huang, please grant your daughter's wish."

"Then this child..." Qianlong's first reaction was the same as the Queen's, which was that he didn't want Hexi to keep the child.

"Father, I have thought about it and I want to give birth to him."

He Xi never thought that one day she would firmly choose to give birth to a child.

"But you, alas." Qianlong understood that Hexi had thought it over carefully. This child had a stubborn temper.

Once you make up your mind, ten oxen can't pull you back.

"Father, you don't have to worry about your daughter." He Xi forced a smile.

She was a princess, so raising a child was not difficult for her. Moreover, this was the only bond between her and Fukang'an, so she was reluctant to let go.

Anyway, it was impossible for her to remarry, not for the so-called chastity, but because she didn't think there was another person who could love her as much as Fukang'an. She had always been pessimistic about marriage, and it was Fukang'an who gave her confidence bit by bit.

People are most afraid of comparison, let alone dead people.

Qianlong still disagreed with Hexi's request. It was imperative to wipe out the White Lotus Sect, but Hexi, as a princess, was not suitable to participate in it.

He Xi became anxious.

"Father, I have a solution. Please help me!"

"What do you have in mind?" Qianlong asked doubtfully. The White Lotus Sect had been entrenched for so many years, it would not be easy to eradicate it completely.

"Public opinion!" He Xi said slowly.

If you ask her, the White Lotus Sect is a group of hypocrites who are sanctimonious and hypocritical.

This traitor is worthy of being under the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming!

No matter what, you can beat them all you want behind closed doors, but it is unacceptable to let the dog out with the door open.

In the final analysis, they are nothing more than people pursuing fame and fortune, and have long lost their original sense of justice.

"What is public opinion?" Qianlong asked curiously.

He Xi majored in media in his previous life. Although his academic performance was only average, he was quite aware of the role of public opinion.

Public opinion is like a sharp blade that is invisible and intangible but can play a decisive role.

To kill someone, one must destroy their heart. Her first step is to peel off their fig leaves layer by layer!

Hexi briefly explained her plan, although Qianlong did not quite understand the new terms Hexi mentioned.

But his long-term thinking as a superior made him keenly aware of the beauty here.

"But Xi'er, how are you going to spread it?"

He Xi calmly uttered two words: newspaper.

This is actually part of her strength, but she didn't expect it to be used so soon.

Hexi planned to publish the Qing Court Express, publishing major and minor events and official documents in newspapers to let everyone know about the activities of the White Lotus Sect as quickly as possible.

Qianlong pondered and said: "Your idea is good, but you overlooked one point."

"what?"

"Less than one in ten or twelve of these people can read and write." Qianlong's statement was still a euphemism. In fact, very few people could read and write.

He Xi, however, already had a plan.

"Father Emperor, we can use the storyteller."

Even if I can't understand the words, I can at least understand what they are saying.

Let the storyteller give the talk in teahouses and taverns in the city.

Qianlong looked at Hexi with admiration. Although the plan was a little immature, it was remarkable.

Qianlong once again felt sorry that Hexi was a girl. If only...

After getting Qianlong's approval, Hexi finally showed the only relieved smile she had in these days.

"However, I have one request. You must protect yourself."

"Yes, your son obeys your command!" He Xi agreed naturally.

Qianlong felt that his daughter deserved a wider world and did not want to restrict her.

"But, Xier, how did you know all this about the newspaper?" Qianlong asked in confusion.

"Father, I am..."
