Shangguan Lingyun frowned, "Why, is there any news about the herbs from Dayu?"
Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I just think that the news about the herbs we got before is on the border of Dayu."
"But Taikang County is still some distance away from the border of Dayu, so I think there is a high possibility that there are other herbs in Dayu."
Shangguan Lingyun pondered for a moment before replying.
"Let's go back to the capital first. There are many kinds of herbs, and their production environments are different. I think Dayu must have them."
"However, Dayu is not stable at the moment. If we go there rashly, it is likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Dugu Xin has been extremely busy lately due to Empress Dayu's concerns. We should not cause him more trouble at this time."
"Besides, we've been out for a while now. Your fourth brother and Princess Xinya are getting married soon, so we should go back and help them officiate the wedding."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed to return to Beijing.
"That's right. Let the people from the Number One Manor under Heaven search for the herbs first. If they find any clues, we can go there later."
"It's been a while since I got out. I don't know how the two children are doing."
After the two of them discussed and returned to Beijing, Wang Xiao began to prepare, and soon everything was ready.
The group set out on their journey back to Beijing again, but unlike when they came, there were no disaster victims on the road this time.
"I didn't expect Commander Zhou to be so quick. The disaster was under control in just a few days."
Shangguan Lingyun was still very satisfied with Commander Zhou's abilities, so he didn't say much.
It took nearly a month to get here, but only four days to go back.
After returning to the capital, Ye Xiaoxiao went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom first. Seeing that the two children had grown up a lot, Ye Xiaoxiao felt mixed emotions.
"The children are all fine, you don't have to worry. Tell me what happened during your trip.
The Queen Mother was probably bored, or perhaps she wanted to dispel Ye Xiaoxiao's guilt, so she took the initiative to talk to her.
Ye Xiaoxiao saw through the Queen Mother's thoughts at a glance, but still briefly recounted what had happened this time.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt deeply moved.
"I never thought that the seemingly peaceful and stable Daxia would have so many termites."
"And Shangguan Yu too. Even at this point, he still has the nerve to be such a thief."
"I kind of regret giving them to their father and son..."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and stopped the Queen Mother from speaking, "Mother, they are not father and son."
The Queen Mother looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with some doting, "Okay, I understand."
"Forget it, let Ling Yun handle these matters. Mother believes he can make the decision."
Ye Xiaoxiao agreed very much, so she didn't say anything more. After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, the Queen Mother mentioned the recent events in the capital.
"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but the palace banquet you hosted last time helped many lovers get together."
Ye Xiaoxiao became interested, and the empress dowager saw this and briefly recounted what happened after they left.
"Needless to say, your fourth brother and Princess Xinya, ever since Prime Minister Wang retired and returned home, the Wang family has been run by Wang Muzhe."
"I heard that the Wang and Qin families are about to get married, and they are waiting for you to come back and arrange their marriage."
"Also, there are many vacancies in the court, all waiting for you to come back and make a decision."
After Ye Xiaoxiao understood what was going on, she nodded lightly. After a brief chat with the Queen Mother, she took the children back to the palace.
As soon as Shangguan Lingyun returned to the palace, he went straight to the imperial study. The mountain of memorials made him frown.
After Ye Xiaoxiao went back and washed up briefly, she played with the two children for a while. After the children had rested, she went to the imperial study with the ginseng soup she had prepared herself.
Shangguan Lingyun was reviewing memorials, and only noticed Ye Xiaoxiao after she approached.
"It's so late, why don't you take a rest? I'll just watch for a while and then go back."
Ye Xiaoxiao handed him the ginseng soup and said, "State affairs are important, but you should also take care of your health."
"Besides, these are just trivial matters. No matter how anxious you are, it won't hurt to wait a little longer."
With the help of the secret guards and the Ye and Qin families, the affairs of the court have basically been handled.
If something big happens, it will be delivered to them directly by carrier pigeon, so the rest are just unimportant little things.
Shangguan Lingyun took the ginseng soup, pulled Ye Xiaoxiao to sit down, and then looked at Ye Xiaoxiao meaningfully.
[Xiaoxiao brought me ginseng soup at this time, could it be that she missed me? ]
[That's right. I haven't been able to eat or sleep well during this period of time. I haven't been close to Xiaoxiao for a long time.]
Ye Xiaoxiao looked up and happened to meet Shangguan Lingyun's fiery eyes, and she happened to hear his inner thoughts.
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
[No, I just came over to show some concern. I hope he doesn't take it as that.]
[However, it has been a while since I've had a good rest. Well, I should go back to my bedroom and rest first.]
After thinking about it, Ye Xiaoxiao was afraid that Shangguan Lingyun would lose his bestial nature. She had originally planned to read the memorial with him, but now she stood up and wanted to leave.
Shangguan Lingyun had a beautiful woman in his arms, so how could he let her escape from his clutches?
He drank the ginseng soup in the bowl in one gulp, and then walked towards Ye Xiaoxiao.
Their cheeks were almost touching, and their warm breath hit each other's faces.
Shangguan Lingyun whispered softly in Ye Xiaoxiao's ear in a seductive tone.
"Xiaoxiao brought ginseng soup here. The meaning is self-evident. How can I let her down?"
