In the darkness, a slightly fat man was looking at his subordinates who came to report.
"Yes, sir, your Majesty's traces have been found on the official roads and inns."
"They were indeed heading west, but I don't know whether it was West City."
The obese man frowned, "Go and investigate. We must not let His Majesty find any clues."
The subordinate responded and then turned and left, while the obese man paced back and forth in the room.
"Master, what are you doing? His Majesty said he was on an incognito visit, but he was actually going after the Queen."
"If you ask me, this queen is really willful, but it's fine this way."
"Your Majesty has left the capital. It's not certain where he's going, but it's definitely not in the capital."
"Before, we were always worried about this and that. Now that they are gone, can we go about our business with peace of mind?"
The seductive woman next to the fat man hooked her arms around the man's neck.
The man frowned slightly, but the charming woman kissed him directly between the eyebrows.
"Well, sir, we'll just have to be careful with our men."
"If any clues are found, there are only a few of them..."
The woman wiped her neck, and the man's eyes flashed, but he was finally persuaded.
Seeing the man loosen up, the woman laughed and pounced on him. A burst of loud noises sounded, and the two immediately started fighting fiercely.
In the harem, the Queen Mother sighed helplessly after learning that Shangguan Lingyun had taken Ye Xiaoxiao away.
Lime and Iris immediately stepped forward to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty and the Empress have always been calm and composed people. You don't have to worry too much."
The Queen Mother nodded, "You don't have to worry about me."
"When His Majesty and the Queen are away, send more people to keep an eye on the harem."
"If anyone is found gossiping or betraying others, they will be severely punished."
Qing Ning and Iris nodded, and the Queen Mother lay down with a headache and prepared to rest.
"By the way, from today on, the two little princes will be raised in my bedroom."
"You two, clean up the side hall and let the wet nurse live in it."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she fell asleep feeling a little tired.
After Qing Ning and Iris covered her with the quilt, they quietly retreated.
In the woods outside the city, Ye Xiaoxiao could imagine that the capital would be in chaos because of their departure.
But she had no idea how chaotic it was.
"Husband, why don't you go back? If you're really worried, just send some more secret guards to follow you."
Shangguan Lingyun ate the rabbit meat elegantly, and after a while, he had finished the remaining rabbit meat.
After wiping his mouth, Shangguan Lingyun hugged Ye Xiaoxiao again and headed towards the carriage.
"We will stay in the carriage tonight. Wang Xiao, Tian Xuan, you will sleep in another carriage and take turns on duty."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded. "Xiaoxiao, I've been looking for you for most of the day. I'm really tired. If there's anything, can we talk about it tomorrow?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was not willing to believe his lies. She thought about how he had traveled to Nanshan overnight, which was much farther away than here.
But Shangguan Lingyun clearly didn't want to go back, so no matter what she said, it would be in vain.
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little angry. After getting on the carriage, she immediately turned her back.
Shangguan Lingyun raised the corners of his lips slightly and hugged the person from behind.
"Good Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. I have considered this incognito visit for a long time."
"In the past, Daxia was constantly at war with Dayu, and many places were simply not managed properly."
"Some cities may seem peaceful, but they are actually full of shady dealings, and there are many people like Tianxuan."
"The emperor believed Shangguan Yu's one-sided words and has been lax in supervising his subordinates."
"A few days ago, I asked Wang Xiao to collect some herbs and, at the same time, collect some evidence of crimes against local officials."
"For example, the West City you're planning to visit now has a Mao Mountain on the way there."
"This Maoshan Mountain is in a dangerous position, but there is an official road next to it."
"All the caravans heading from Maoshan to the capital pass through there."
"But Maoshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has been occupied by a group of bandits for many years."
"They robbed and looted, committing all sorts of evil."
"Also, in Maoshan County behind Maoshan, it is said that there is a small county magistrate there."
"It is said that this man is not afraid of power and can solve cases like a god. The people call him the Great Justice."
"But a few days ago, news came that this county magistrate accepted bribes, raped a woman, and was thrown into prison."
"Wang Xiao received an umbrella for 10,000 people. Let's go take a look when we pass by."
"There are many such cases. Tell me, is this incognito visit of mine important?"
Ye Xiaoxiao curled her lips. Since she couldn't argue with him anyway, she could only let him do what he wanted.
"You are His Majesty, you have the final say. Aren't you tired? Go and rest."
Shangguan Lingyun turned Ye Xiaoxiao's body over, and Ye Xiaoxiao fell directly into his arms.
"Xiaoxiao, be good. Make me promise that you will tell me what's going on and never leave without saying goodbye again."
Ye Xiaoxiao lay quietly in his arms, looking at his handsome eyes and eyebrows, lost in thought.
"Forget it, let's go to bed early, get the herbs back soon, and return to Beijing soon."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the new task given to her by the system, sighed, and acquiesced to Shangguan Lingyun's following.
