After hearing this, Concubine Shu finally realized that it was not her image that was the problem, but that these ministers had no idea that Concubine Xian's sister was going to leave the palace.
She was about to say something to shut up the person who was speaking, but she didn't expect the emperor to open his mouth and ask a question first.
"Why can't Concubine Xian leave the palace?"
The minister glanced at the prime minister next to him, looking for help.
"Prime Minister, has it not been the case since ancient times that concubines cannot leave the palace at will?"
Prime Minister Li was suddenly pulled into the water and nodded.
"Yes, but the rules are set by the emperor. Since the emperor has agreed, the ministers should obey."
Minister: "..."
You said you were upright and incorruptible, but why are you flattering the emperor?
"But it's still inappropriate for Empress Xian to leave the palace, and disaster relief is no joke."
The emperor raised an eyebrow. "Why is it inappropriate? It's fine if Concubine Xian doesn't leave the palace. You can leave with the little princess. I don't want you to help with disaster relief. You will only be responsible for braiding the little princess's hair, feeding her, bathing her and coaxing her to sleep. If you can do that, I will agree to let Concubine Xian leave the palace."
The minister who spoke wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and closed his mouth.
He almost forgot that the little princess was still a baby who needed milk. He could not take care of the little princess even if he was beaten to death. Moreover, the little princess was so precious that if something happened to her, he would not have enough heads to chop off if he had ten heads.
"Your Majesty is wise," he said solemnly, cupping his hands. "The little princess does indeed need Empress Xian to accompany her and take care of her. I have no objection."
Those who wanted to watch the fun silently despised him in their hearts and thought it was boring.
"Since everyone has no objection, it's settled."
The emperor was very satisfied.
"Sister Xianfei," Concubine Shu stepped forward and pulled Concubine Xian aside. "We have all heard what the emperor said. Although we are relieved that you know martial arts, you still have to protect yourself and Luo'er. We will wait for your return."
As Concubine Shu spoke, she took out a small dagger from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Xian.
"Take this. There's a mechanism on the handle, and there's a poison needle hidden inside."
She specially asked Mu Xue to apply a deadly poison on it, and now it can finally be used.
"Thank you, Sister Shufei."
Empress Xian put the dagger into her sleeve and thanked him sincerely.
"Don't be polite. Although I don't know what you and Luo'er are doing in Li Country this time, the princess of Li Country is a dangerous person. This dagger is small, so it's easy for you to hide it."
Defei and Roupin walked over to the two of them and said, "Yes, Sister Xianfei, you must protect yourself well. We are still waiting for you to come back and fight with Sister Shufei."
"Yes, yes," Concubine Rou nodded and took out the small soft pillow she made and handed it to Concubine Xian. "I don't have anything to protect you, Sister Xian, but I only have this soft pillow. Sister Xian, bring it for the little princess to use when she sleeps. It's very soft."
"I appreciate Sister Roupin's kindness. Luo'er will definitely like it."
"I've prepared food for you and Luo'er."
De Fei took out the food she had prepared and said, "Luo'er, you must have suffered a lot during the long journey. Save these for the journey."
"Thank you, Aunt Defei, Aunt Shufei, and Aunt Roupin."
Yu Yiluo appeared from the side and thanked him with a sweet smile.
"Luo'er, are you just thanking me verbally?"
Concubine Shu squatted down and pinched her little face, "No other expression?"
Yu Yiluo thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he quickly kissed Concubine Shu on the face.
"Does this mean that Aunt Shufei likes it?"
Concubine Shu smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she said with a smile, "I like it."
"Luo'er, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other."
Defei squatted down and said, "Your aunt Roupin and I are also waiting for your response."
To ensure fairness, Yu Yiluo kissed them both again.
[I feel like a complete jerk, kissing this and that.]
[Hey, why do I feel a sudden chill on my back? ]
Yu Yiluo turned around and found that the emperor was coming towards her with a dark face, looking at her expressionlessly.
[It's over, Daddy is jealous again.]
"Daddy."
Yu Yiluo walked up to the emperor and said, "Do you need to send someone to go with me? I think Mu Chen is just right."
[It would be nice to have two people in a long-distance relationship meet up, and I can also have someone to help me out.]
"He went back to pack his things."
"Daddy is so wise," Yu Yiluo gave a thumbs up, "Don't miss me too much when I leave."
The emperor snorted and squatted down, pointing at his face.
Yu Yiluo looked helpless and kissed him.
"Let's go. Qingrong and Qingfeng, I'll stay here and wait for my mother and I to come back."
He waved goodbye and got on the carriage.
The emperor stood up and looked at Concubine Xian.
"Be careful on your way there. General Jin and the old general are waiting for you to come back and explain the martial arts to them."
"I understand. It's too hot outside. Your Majesty, please go back."
The two of them got on the carriage, which slowly drove away from the palace gate. The emperor stood at the palace gate, watching the slowly departing carriage motionlessly.
"Your Majesty, please go back."
Eunuch Cao whispered.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped. Yu Yiluo poked her head out and shouted, "Daddy, remember what I said. Go back quickly."
The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and waved at her. He waited for the carriage to move again before turning and walking towards the palace.
"Father, Luo'er is gone?"
When the prince finished the tasks assigned by the emperor and rushed over, the palace gate was already empty.
"She's leaving, but she's still waiting for Mu Chen. If you have something to say to her, go ahead."
The prince bowed and took Lin Qi to quickly chase Yu Yiluo's carriage.
The two caught up with Yu Yiluo at an inn in the market.
Qian Jue, who was driving the carriage, saw the prince and stopped the carriage, "Little Princess, someone is chasing us."
Yu Yiluo lifted the curtain and looked at the prince standing next to the carriage in surprise.
"Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?"
The prince took a few steps closer to the carriage and raised his hand to rub her head.
"I came to see Luo'er off. Luo'er has been away for a long time, so naturally, my royal brother had to come and see her off. I was busy with other things just now, and when I came here, you had already left the palace. Fortunately, I caught up with you."
"Then please take care of yourself, my prince brother."
"Okay," the prince withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "I'll take care of everything in the capital. Luo'er, just do what you want to do, but remember to prioritize your own safety."
…
After saying goodbye to the prince, Qian Jue lazily drove the carriage.
"I've waited so long, I thought everything that should be delivered had been delivered."
"Be patient, we still have to wait for Mu Chen."
Qian Jue thought he had misheard, "Still waiting for Mu Chen? Aren't we going to go as a group of three?"
How come this team is getting bigger and bigger? And Mu Chen doesn't know martial arts, so his burden becomes heavier.
"Yes, let's go to Changshan County first."
The carriage left the city smoothly and Qian Jue stopped it. "Why do we have to go to Changshan County? Can your Third Brother afford the delay?"
"There's a locust plague in Changshan County. It would be better to go and help solve it and wait for the Princess of Li."
Before leaving, she had instructed someone to spread the news that she was going to Changshan County. When the Princess of Li Kingdom received the news, she would probably set off to wait for her.
