Shangguan Lingyun didn't have that kind of patience. After asking again coldly, Commander Zhou still chose to obey obediently.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Recently, because of the departure of Your Majesty and the Empress, many people in the capital have been saying that the Empress is a beauty that brings disaster."
"My Lady, please don't mind me. In my heart, you are the lucky star of our Great Xia. Those people are just ignorant and foolish."
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Shangguan Lingyun, whose face was cold, then smiled faintly and pulled his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, Commander Zhou has traveled all night and has been very tired, yet you haven't even excused him."
In front of outsiders, one must give due face, therefore, Ye Xiaoxiao only hinted quietly and did not directly let Commander Zhou take charge.
But even so, Commander Zhou was already very grateful to Ye Xiaoxiao in his heart.
[Oh my god, the Empress is truly kind and beautiful. Even when His Majesty was looking so grim, she still tried to plead for me. She must be the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.]
[No, when I return, I will worship the Empress, burning incense and offering sacrifices three times a day without missing a single detail.]
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
She suddenly felt a little regretful for pleading for Commander Zhou.
[Brother, I'm begging for mercy on your behalf. You're planning to send me away. This is too cruel.]
Shangguan Lingyun was about to let go when the air around him suddenly became even colder.
Commander Zhou broke out in cold sweat and was trembling with fear.
[Oh my god, Your Majesty, why are you so scary? I swear, I really didn't say a single word against the Empress.]
Ye Xiaoxiao felt helpless and had to pull Shangguan Lingyun's sleeve again.
Although he intends to enshrine me in a rather scary way, he must be truly grateful to me.
【In that case, I'll help him again. 】
When Shangguan Lingyun heard this, he realized that he had misunderstood what Commander Zhou and Ye Xiaoxiao meant.
After relaxing the expression on his face, Shangguan Lingyun spoke lazily.
"The Empress has asked you to get up, Commander Zhou, please stand up and answer."
Commander Zhou said "yes" excitedly, then stood up tremblingly. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Ye Xiaoxiao a smile.
Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and then talked to Commander Zhou about the next itinerary.
After all, Commander Zhou will have to follow them to solve the problem later.
When Commander Zhou heard that they were going to Xicheng Mountain again, he became even more excited.
"Could it be that the Queen has discovered another mine, which is why she went to Xicheng Mountain?"
[It is said that the No. 1 manor in the world was given to the Empress by Prince Dayu.]
[This mine must have been discovered by someone from the No. 1 Village in the World, who then told the Empress, who then told Your Majesty.]
[I heard that Her Majesty has a lot of her own assets, and yet she didn't just embezzle this gold mine. She is truly magnificent.]
"No, I must write a letter back to tell my colleagues that they must not misunderstand the Empress."
If you make Her Majesty sad, then from now on, I suggest that you put any good things into your own pocket.
Ye Xiaoxiao listened to Commander Zhou's inner thoughts, and the smile on her face grew deeper and deeper.
Shangguan Lingyun watched Ye Xiaoxiao smile at Commander Zhou, but a hint of jealousy flashed through his heart.
"Okay, I'll leave the matters here to you. Wait for my notification when you're done."
Commander Zhou nodded immediately, but he looked at Shangguan Lingyun's unfriendly expression with some surprise.
[Your Majesty, what's wrong? You were so happy just now, why are you suddenly angry again?]
[Forget it, forget it. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. I really miss the time when Your Majesty was still the Crown Prince. Alas!]
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing everyone looking at her, she waved her hands a little embarrassedly.
"Goodbye everyone, don't miss us, we will be back in a while."
Everyone: “…”
Shangguan Lingyun looked at the playful Ye Xiaoxiao, hugged her in his arms, and then used his lightness skills to go down the mountain.
"Your Majesty is so amazing, Your Majesty is so funny."
The voices of Liu Da and Liu Er sounded at the same time, and Commander Zhou looked at them with a bad expression.
"You two should be careful with your words. If His Majesty hears you, you will lose your tongues."
Liu Da and Liu Er shrank their necks in fear, and then quickly followed Commander Zhou to arrange the next steps.
In the capital, after investigating for many days, the Ye family finally found some clues.
Wang Muxue took a booklet and asked Ye Chang to gather all the members of the Ye family to the Ye family hall.
"Mu Xue, you called us here in such a hurry, but what happened?"
Wang Muxue nodded, then handed the booklet to everyone.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is the account book of Yaoguang Pavilion's income in the past few days."
Mrs. Ye was puzzled, but Ye Pengcheng and the four sons of the Ye family figured out something.
"Among those who recently bought jewelry, the ones who used the most cash were this Xu, Feng, and a woman named Liu Ruhua."
"Sheng'er, ask the people from Tianxia Diyizhuang to investigate and see if there is any connection between these two women."
Ye Sheng nodded and took the task, and then everyone took turns flipping through the booklet.
Ye Fan frowned and looked at the numbers in the booklet, then continued.
"There's a lady named Aunt Liu here, she also bought a lot of things."
"But in comparison, this Xu family flower is the biggest."
"If I remember correctly, the family that His Majesty dealt with in Luancheng some time ago was surnamed Xu."
"Also, look, there's a young man named Xu here who also spent quite a bit of money."
