While saying this, a trace of regret flashed across Qin Shuo’s face. He hated himself for not being present tonight, if not for that, he would have been able to see his mighty wife.

"The Empress is very eloquent, and everyone on the scene can’t help but admire her." After a while, Mo Zhu added, he sneaked a glance at Qin Shuo and saw that his expression was ugly. The smile on the corner of Mo Zhu’s mouth deepened.

"Your Majesty, since you’re here at the South Yue Kingdom, what’s the point of staying at the relay station? If you can’t see the Empress, how can you change her mind?" He wanted Qin Shuo to take the initiative and attack.

Otherwise, after the sacrifice at South Yue Kingdom was over, Qin Shuo had no reason to stay any longer.

Listening to him say that, Qin Shuo thought about it and felt that it was reasonable to say that Mo Zhu had come here. He came to the South Yue personally to find his Empress.

He pursed his lips, not saying anything. He was the Emperor, so why should he lower his head!

Furthermore, he had already lowered his head once and waited for Hu Xiao at the inn for a few days, but Hu Xiao had not come back yet.

If he hadn’t known that the owner of the inn was someone else and not Hu Xiao, he would have definitely stayed in that inn forever.

Seeing that he had wavered, Mo Zhu knew that his words were working. He lightly waved his fan, slowly walked towards Qin Shuo, and said: "Prince, women are coaxed by men, you’re too stubborn, when will you be done with it? It would be better if the Emperor shamelessly went and explained it to the Empress. The Empress has a straightforward disposition, after her anger has dissipated, she will definitely return to the East Court with you. "

"Your majesty, how about this? This humble subject wants to make a trip to the palace tomorrow, why don’t you disguise yourself and follow this humble subject to the palace?"

Seeing Qin Shuo feigning indecision, Mo Zhu’s eyes flashed with a smile, and before he left, he said, "Your majesty, don’t forget about the matter of me entering the palace with you!"

Qin Shuo snorted lightly. When Mo Zhu closed the door, he almost flipped the roof out of excitement. He would go to the palace to see Hu Xiao tomorrow.

This was what he had been looking forward to, and this was what he had finally looked forward to.

Pretending to bump into Hu Xiao, let’s see how Hu Xiao will avoid him now!

Thinking about it, Qin Shuo beamed. He blew out the candle leisurely, so excited that he did not sleep for the entire night.

The next morning, he sat upright in his room and waited for Mo Zhu without waiting for him to get out of bed.

Hu Xiao did not stay idle either. She was having a headache about the sacrifice.

"Qi’er, the sacrificial ceremony starts three days later. We, your nephew and my, must help each other out." Hu Xiao patted Hu Qi’s shoulder, and said with a smile.

There were so many things to do, how could she do them alone? Recently, her Royal Brother was so busy that she couldn’t hold herself back.

"Aunt, let’s have a cup of tea first. We’ll discuss this slowly." Hu Qi shrugged his shoulders, he had been very busy these past few days with the matter of the offering.

The uncle and nephew duo discussed in whispers for a while, and then divided the work. Each took on their own task, and arranged the matters regarding the sacrificial ceremony in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, King of the South Yue felt that once her sister grew up, she could take charge of herself.

He kept praising Hu Xiao in front of the eunuchs. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

During this time, because she was hiding from Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao stayed in the palace and almost never went to the inn. During her free time, she suddenly thought about the inn.

"Princess, where are you going?" Zhi Lan asked puzzledly. Why didn’t you go out and take a rest when you have time?

At this time, Hu Xiao smiled slightly, picked up a set of blue clothes, and said: "Go out and take a look, I’ve stayed in the palace for too long, it’s suffocating."

Because of the sacrificial ceremony, she didn’t have time to go out.

Zhi Lan was worried, she looked at the sky outside and frowned: "But Princess, it’s getting late, the sky is getting dark, and if you go out now, I’m afraid you won’t be safe."

"I want to sneak out while it’s dark. Otherwise, if Royal Brother finds out, he would definitely scold me." At this time, Hu Xiao had already changed her clothes. She turned around in front of the mirror, feeling a little excited in her heart.

It had been a long time since there was any news from the inn. She had to go and see how the business was doing.

Zhi Lan was such a smart person, she could immediately see through her thoughts, "Princess, you’re going to the inn, right?"

Hearing that, Hu Xiao laughed, and only heard her say: "That’s right, if not, why would I go out? I would naturally have to pay more attention to my family’s inn, and do not know how business is going, last time I went out of the palace, so I did not see it, and now that I think about it, it is quite a pity."

Since she said it like that, Zhi Lan could not stop her. "Princess, be careful."

Hu Xiao did not allow her to accompany him, so she had no choice but to stay in the palace.

Zhi Lan, you must keep this a secret for me, don’t let the Royal Brother find out about it. No, don’t tell anyone else, there are too many people here. Although she trusted Zhi Lan, she still did not forget to remind him.

After exiting the palace gate, Hu Xiao headed towards the inn. There were not many people on the road, and it was really time for dinner.

On the contrary, after arriving at the inn, she saw a dense crowd of people, the inn’s business was flourishing, and the entire place was packed with people. Hu Xiao was overjoyed, this was the perfect scene, this was what she wanted to see.

The moment she entered, Ling Hua saw her. Her gaze sized up the crowd, so she did not notice Ling Hua.

"Hey, what are you looking at? I called you a few times already. Your ears are pretty good, so you automatically ignored my words. You should hit me, you should hit me!"

Ling Hua tugged on Hu Xiao’s ears, only then did Hu Xiao regain her senses, she patted the back of his hand and said: "It’s only been a few days since we last met, have you grown angry? However, to think that you managed the inn so well, it is beyond my expectations!"

The two of them talked as they walked towards the accounts room. Ling Hua’s arm was on Hu Xiao’s shoulder, and the two seemed to be extremely close.

"I even thought that you had disappeared. You didn’t step into the inn for a few days in a row!" Ling Hua glanced at her and said unhappily.

It was hard for her to even see Hu Xiao, the inn’s business was so good, she could not leave.

"Look at what you’re saying, I’m busy with you too. The matter of the sacrifice hasn’t been settled yet, aren’t I? As soon as I have time, I’ve already rushed out!" Hu Xiao stretched lazily. She did not come here to accept Ling Hua’s lecture.

"Hu Xiao, have you heard rumors of the people?" Ling Hua smiled mysteriously, with a taunting tone.

Hu Xiao glanced at her and asked suspiciously: "What rumor? From the looks of it, it can’t be that you have connections with me?!"
