She looked at Zhao Qiyan who was in front of her with a face full of distress.

"Miss Zhi Lan, don’t, don’t misunderstand."

But he could not say anything else. After all, he had been following him, and only after seeing Zhi Lan smile at Mo Zhu that he finally caught Zhi Lan. It could be said that he had gotten himself into trouble.

"Heh, could it be that the dignified Great General Zhao wants to deny it in front of a weak girl like me?"

Seeing that the more Zhi Lan spoke, the more unpleasant the sound became, and Zhao Qiyan’s face became more and more unsightly, as though he was forced to do so and as if he had never been humiliated like this before, the fists in his hands slowly tightened.

Zhi Lan was also a martial artist, so she naturally knew what Zhao Qiyan was thinking at the moment, and the anger in her heart could not help but increase.

He could not care about anything else, in a flash, he rushed forward, as though wanting to hit Zhao Qiyan before he made his move.

The battle between the two quickly attracted the patrol, but they didn’t seem to be able to see it.

"It’s alright, my palace maid and General Zhao will spar with each other."

The soldiers looked at the two in front of them and did not know if they should go forward to help. After all, these two looked very familiar to each other, but this was the first time they were fighting in such a large crowd.

The moment Hu Xiao opened her mouth, she seemed to have noticed that Hu Xiao was around, the stunned people immediately bowed to him.

"Forget it, forget it. You can leave. I’ll watch."

Nodding faintly, the soldiers left as instructed.

Just now, Zhao Qiyan was still afraid of Zhi Lan, but he had become more serious. Sighing lightly, he stepped forward to stop the two.

"Do you want to recruit someone else?"

Hearing that, the two of them were startled, the patrol squad who had not left the corner was still there, and there were even a few palace maid Eunuch, Xi Ran, who had circled back and forth a few times, their faces slightly red.

Zhi Lan looked at Hu Xiao, and then left Hu Xiao and ran. Seeing that, Zhao Qiyan still wanted to continue chasing.

"Alright, you still want to go after them? Why do you want to go after them? The two of them are fighting again? "

Zhao Qiyan heard and truly stopped. After waiting for a long time, his emotions seemed to calm down as he took a step back and bowed towards Hu Xiao.

"Thank you, Empress."

Hu Xiao naturally knew what Zhao Qiyan was thanking him for, but she didn’t mind.

"Zhao Qiyan, chasing a girl is what you are pursuing."

Initially, he was still thinking about how Zhi Lan looked like, but Hu Xiao’s following words made him slightly startled.

"What does Empress mean?"

He looked at Hu Xiao with a serious expression, but Zhao Qiyan was secretly shocked. So Hu Xiao actually knew, then did Hu Xiao even know the movements behind her back? Zhi Lan was, after all, Hu Xiao’s personal maid, so what was Hu Xiao thinking?

He still looked bright on the surface, but he couldn’t see through Hu Xiao’s inner thoughts at all. After a while, he shook his head, and remembered Hu Xiao’s attitude from before.

"Zhao Qiyan, I have taken care of Zhi Lan as if she was my little sister, but you seemed to be inviting me to truly fight with Zhi Lan just now? How can a weak girl like Zhi Lan be treated so rudely by the General Zhao? "

Pretending not to know about Zhao Qiyan’s apprehension, Hu Xiao continued to speak. Of course, there was also dissatisfaction with Zhao Qiyan because she had been in a high position for too long, the male chauvinism in her body was simply too strong, if the two of them really decided to be together in the future, Zhi Lan would probably suffer too many grievances, Hu Xiao was unwilling.

"Then may I ask what the Empress should do?"

He had indeed gone too far earlier and could not help but agree with what Hu Xiao had said a little bit, and humbly asked for guidance.

Of course, you two have not reached that step yet, but you attacked Zhi Lan just like that before the two of you were even certain of your relationship with him, so I think that you will not be too good to Zhi Lan in the future.

The hints in Hu Xiao’s words were extremely obvious, if she still did not know, that would be her problem.

"Thank you, Empress, for your teachings. If this lowly general finds out, he will not let you down."

He then bowed to Hu Xiao, and hastily ran away after waiting for Hu Xiao to speak again.

Looking at Zhao Qiyan’s figure that was leaving in a hurry, Hu Xiao was a little taken aback. She didn’t seem to say anything just now, but Zhao Qiyan might have figured it out on her own.

As he walked back to his own courtyard, the anger he had felt in front of Xue Mier and Qin Shuo disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Sure enough, before they even entered the courtyard, they heard Zhi Lan’s vigorous cursing.

Let’s go. Go do what you need to do.

Seeing that Zhi Lan was surrounded by a group of palace maid s, Hu Xiao could not help but scold them with a smile. Due to what happened last time, the palace maid s that remained by Hu Xiao’s side could basically be considered to be Hu Xiao’s trusted aides, and their relationship was naturally better than that of an ordinary master and servant.

"Empress."

Zhi Lan who was cursing just now immediately stopped, but her words were filled with grievance.

"Alright, alright, at most, you can just hit him back the next time, and that is to say that Zhao Qiyan allowed you to stand and fight him, who do you see Zhao Qiyan being so patient with?"

Touching Zhi Lan’s hair, Hu Xiao said with a smile.

The two of them had some good impressions of each other, but they did not know themselves. Otherwise, how could they not feel uncomfortable with the uncomfortable thoughts in their hearts?

"Alright, you need to think about these relationships yourself. I am only going to do it as you please, these things are just drawings for the well and some introductions for the water channels. You should mail these things to South Yue."

The tone of his voice was so cheerful, it was as if he was talking about the weather today.

Zhi Lan who was feeling awkward a moment ago was shocked when she saw this. did not take what they had just said to heart at all!

"Empress!"

After a long time, he refused to go and only raised his head to look at Hu Xiao.

"Zhi Lan, you must know that if I wanted to do something, I have to do it no matter what. If you are willing to help me, you might be able to save me some trouble, but if you are not willing!"

If they didn’t use Hu Xiao’s personality, it might not be impossible for him to pass down her South Yue, but the way she spread it would definitely set off a storm.

"Empress, there is no need to send it back, Zhi Lan has a way."

Seeing Hu Xiao about to take back the item in her hand, she quickly rushed forward and snatched it away, putting it away precious.

"What is it? You can’t let me know of your method? "

Seeing her carefully putting it on her chest as if it was a treasure, Hu Xiao curled her lips and left.
