Shangguan Lingyun felt a little jealous and hugged Ye Xiaoxiao in his arms, which made Ye Xiaoxiao and Dugu Xin smile at each other.
"Now that we have the necessary medicinal materials, we have also solved the plague and the rebels."
"According to the date, the imperial examination will soon enter the palace examination stage. Next, we should go back."
"As for the remaining two herbs, I have a feeling they will appear soon."
Dugu Xin smiled faintly and nodded, "In that case, I wish you a safe journey."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and said take care to him, then left with Shangguan Lingyun.
Dugu Xin watched their receding backs until they disappeared, then he looked away.
Everyone started their return journey. Because of the existence of the space, Shangguan Lingyun was not worried about the hardship of the journey.
Tianxuan, Wang Xiao and others were ordered to take turns on the journey. Five days later, Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun finally returned to the palace.
As soon as he returned to the palace, before he had time to change his clothes, the empress dowager, who had learned the news, brought people to kill him.
After walking around Ye Xiaoxiao and making sure she was safe and sound, the Queen Mother finally let go of her worries.
"You two will be gone for over a month, I'm worried about your dead mother."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she saw that although the two men were in a hurry to get on the road, they did not look very tired, and she couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Neither of them explained, but took the two children from the two maids and teased them for a while.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, the two little guys have grown a lot. When they saw the two of them, they actually giggled.
The Queen Mother was actually a little jealous when she saw this. "These two children, since you left, have never smiled like this before."
"You don't know, although these two children are young, they are very smart, as if they can see through people's hearts."
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately became interested, so she looked at the two children carefully, hoping to hear what they were thinking.
However, after watching for a long time, she didn't hear any thoughts from the two children.
Ye Xiaoxiao laughed at herself, secretly laughing at herself for being too naive. What could a four-month-old child know?
Without thinking any more, Ye Xiaoxiao asked the Queen Mother.
"Mother, how is the imperial examination going? How many days are left until the palace examination?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother remembered why she came here.
"Speaking of this, you have reminded the Queen Mother."
"Tomorrow is the day of the palace selection. It's just right that you've returned."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked hesitant. Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.
[Oh, how should I tell them about Yunting?]
Shangguan Lingyun did not hear the Queen Mother's thoughts, but from her expression, he had already guessed what she was thinking.
"Is the Queen Mother worried about Yun Ting?"
The Queen Mother sighed upon hearing this, then nodded.
"Yes, Yun Ting was banished from the capital because of the Liu family."
"Now that he has made his mark, Mother should be happy, but the Queen is worried..."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly, "Don't worry, mother. I know Yun Ting's character well."
“Moreover, the feud between him and the Liu family is destined to prevent the Liu family from making a comeback.”
"However, I can use the name of Yunting to give my grandfather and his family a better life, and also fulfill my mother's filial piety."
The Queen Mother knew Shangguan Lingyun had made his decision as soon as she saw it, so she smiled faintly and nodded.
"Mother knows you have made up your mind. Mother is just worried that you are too concerned about her feelings."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly and shook his head, "Don't worry, mother. Yun Ting has talent but no ambition. In the future, he is destined to revive the Liu family's reputation."
The Queen Mother was relieved upon hearing this, and then she asked the two to go back to bathe and change clothes, and she also took the child away temporarily.
After returning to her own bedroom, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly had a strange feeling of being home.
It was as if this place had become her own little home without her realizing it.
Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao lying lazily on the bed, Shangguan Lingyun felt a tenderness in his heart.
"Xiaoxiao, you should rest in the palace first. Your husband still has many affairs to attend to, so I can't accompany you for now."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao got up from the soft big bed and came to his side with a smile.
"My husband accompanied me in my search for medicine, so I can't just watch him deal with state affairs alone."
"Since we've already rested in the space, why don't I go to the imperial study with you?"
Shangguan Lingyun originally didn't want to make her work too hard, but Ye Xiaoxiao insisted, so he had no choice but to let her do it.
The two of them came to the imperial study together. Unlike what they had imagined, there were not many memorials.
"I guess all the minor issues have been resolved, so there's nothing serious going on right now."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded and casually flipped through the memorials on Long'an. Most of them were about the imperial examinations.
However, two of the memorials were placed separately on the Dragon Bank. Ye Xiaoxiao was a little curious and picked them up to take a look.
Afterwards, she handed the two memorials back to Shangguan Lingyun.
Shangguan Lingyun opened it and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"I didn't expect that as soon as we got back, someone would be eager to come."
"But it's better this way. It's better than us going through the trouble of looking for it ourselves."
Ye Xiaoxiao sneered, "It's no secret that we're looking for herbs."
"However, I never thought that the other two herbs we sent so many people to search for in vain would fall into the hands of these two people."
"It seems that after the palace examination is over, we will have to meet them properly."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled coldly, then nodded.
"That's good, it saves us a lot of trouble."
"Since there's nothing important happening here, please have your relatives come to the palace later."
"Let's hold a family dinner and ask about what happened in the capital since we left in the past few days."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, and then asked Tianxuan to inform the Ye family and several other families with whom she had a good relationship.
At night, everyone gathered in the harem. After a round of greetings, everyone asked about the results of their trip.
On the way back, Ye Xiaoxiao had already processed all the medicinal materials and placed them in the space.
When everyone asked about it, she only said that the preservation of medicinal materials required special treatment and did not take them out to show everyone.
However, when everyone heard that Queen Dayu actually tried to start a plague, they all felt a little unbelievable.
"This Queen Dayu is truly crazy. She would resort to such cruel means."
"Fortunately, you arrived in time. Otherwise, with the Cangwu River so close to Daxia, Daxia would inevitably be implicated."
"Yes, it's a good thing you made this trip, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."
The old Duke and Ye Pengcheng sighed one after another, and the others also echoed a few words.
Qin Chuan, on the other hand, looked at the two of them with some concern.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Empress Dayu and Crown Prince Dayu are at loggerheads. Will the envoys encounter any danger while traveling to Dayu?"
