The Queen Mother shook her head. "There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just worried about the guards at Prince Yu's mansion."
Ye Xiaoxiao understood, "Mother, don't worry, His Majesty has already made all the necessary preparations."
"Besides, there are still many secret guards under the emperor's command, so there won't be any trouble."
The Queen Mother shook her head. "I'm not worried about his safety. I'm just worried that Shangguan Yu will take the opportunity to escape."
"Also, I'm worried that he has helpers outside. If I let him go back to the mountains, I'm afraid I won't feel at ease."
"Queen Mother, don't worry too much. Father will not allow him to escape."
"Also, my daughter-in-law has spread the news that the Lianxin poison can be cured."
"Shangguan Yu probably doesn't want to live as long as his father."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a hint of coldness flashed across her face.
"If I hadn't been afraid that Ling Yun might have some grudges in his heart, Mother would have already..."
"Forget it, it's better to keep them. They can be used to test poison on my grandson in the future."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
As expected of the palace fighting champion, he is a ruthless person.
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she coughed dryly and smiled faintly, as if she was afraid of scaring Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, mother is not a murderer, it's just..."
"Mother, you don't need to say more. Your daughter-in-law understands that women are weak by nature, but they become strong as mothers."
"Xiaoxiao is also the mother of two children. Xiaoxiao understands her mother's thoughts."
"If Xiaoxiao encountered something like that, she might be even more cruel than her mother."
The Queen Mother sighed, "No, Ling Yun is different from his father, and I will never allow anyone to harm my grandchildren."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, "Mother, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore."
The empress dowager smiled faintly and changed the subject. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a long time before Ye Xiaoxiao got up and left.
When I returned to the bedroom, Shangguan Lingyun had not come back yet, but he had already sent Wang Xiao to pass on a message.
"Master, His Majesty will not be dining tonight. You can eat first and don't have to wait for him."
Ye Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "Why don't you eat for no reason?"
Since they got married, Shangguan Lingyun has always insisted on having dinner with her, rain or shine, and Ye Xiaoxiao has gotten used to it.
How could Ye Xiaoxiao not be surprised that he suddenly didn't show up today?
"Wang Xiao said that there are an unusually large number of memorials today, and Your Majesty may be busy until very late."
Ye Xiaoxiao was even more confused. There were clearly no memorials when she came out today, so how could there be so many memorials?
"Tianxuan, is there anything big happening in the capital today?"
Tianxuan shook his head, "It seems not."
"That's strange. Let's go and take a look."
So, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to eat, and rushed to the imperial study with Tianxuan without stopping.
Wang Xiao was a little surprised to see the two of them, and without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao to be informed, she walked straight in.
Shangguan Lingyun was busy reading the memorials, and Ye Xiaoxiao frowned as soon as she saw it.
"There weren't many when I left earlier, how come there are so many now?"
Shangguan Lingyun looked up from the pile of memorials.
"Why are you here? Have you had your meal?"
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head and picked up a memorial.
"I'm not really hungry. I haven't eaten yet. You haven't told me what these memorials are about."
When Shangguan Lingyun heard that she had not eaten, he threw away the memorial in her hand and pulled her up.
"Have your meal first, and I'll tell you slowly later."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he immediately asked Wang Xiao to serve the meal to the imperial study.
Ye Xiaoxiao sat down with Shangguan Lingyun and waited for the meal to be served. Only then did Shangguan Lingyun speak.
"Originally it wasn't a big deal, but for some reason, a flash flood suddenly occurred at the foot of Nanshan Mountain."
Ye Xiaoxiao was startled. "At the foot of Nanshan Mountain? What place? Are the herbs still good?"
Shangguan Lingyun frowned, "The flash flood occurred in a very remote area, so there weren't many casualties."
"It just so happened that the herbs grow right below the mountain torrent."
"The people I sent are now blocked by the mountain torrent, but they sent a letter via carrier pigeon, so they are safe for the time being."
Ye Xiaoxiao accurately grasped the profound meaning of Shangguan Lingyun's words.
"It's not a big deal for now. Does that mean a flash flood will pass through there sooner or later?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry."
"According to the current speed of the mountain torrent, it will take about three days to reach the herbs."
"I have ordered them to dig deep trenches and try to divert the flash floods to other places within three days."
Ye Xiaoxiao became even more anxious when she heard this, "Otherwise, let's go there overnight."
Shangguan Lingyun immediately shook his head, "Xiaoxiao, I won't let you take any risks."
"Besides, Dayu's envoys will leave early the day after tomorrow. As the emperor and empress, we must see them off."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned. She had finally gotten some news about the rootless grass, and she didn't want to give up.
However, she knew that Shangguan Lingyun was right. Going there now was not only not the right time, but also extremely dangerous.
Seeing that Ye Xiaoxiao was not impulsive, Shangguan Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Shangguan Lingyun was initially worried that Ye Xiaoxiao would rush to the foot of Nanshan Mountain in a fit of impulse, so he didn't plan to tell her.
But I didn't expect that Ye Xiaoxiao would come to the imperial study without even having dinner.
In order not to make Ye Xiaoxiao worry, he had to tell her the truth.
"Xiaoxiao, there's no point in being anxious right now, let's eat first."
The food has been served, but Ye Xiaoxiao has no appetite.
After sighing, Ye Xiaoxiao called the system in her heart.
"System, is rootless grass afraid of water?"
