Before Qin Xue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wang Muxue.
"Xiaoxue, be careful with your words."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and waved her hand, "It's okay.
Ye Xiaoxiao knew that what Qin Xue wanted to say was like Shangguan Lingyun replacing Shangguan Du, but after all, not everyone could say such words casually.
Qin Xue and Ye Xiaoxiao are good friends, so they don't have to be so cautious when speaking.
But Wang Muxue was worried that Qin Xue would talk too much and accidentally upset Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't care and just talked about Dayu's affairs.
"Dayu's situation is special, and Dugu Xin has never cared about that position."
"He just wanted to clear his mother's name, and at the same time, he wanted Emperor Dayu to admit his mistakes."
"But for an emperor, how could he possibly admit his mistakes to his son and ministers?"
"So, he allowed Empress Dayu to suppress him, and he only gained the reputation of being a favorite of the Empress."
Qin Xue curled her lips. Wang Muxue gave her a piece of dessert and then changed the subject.
"Xiaoxiao, how long will it take you to brew this antidote?"
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the alchemy furnace that was bubbling with steam and roughly calculated the time.
"It will take at least four or five days. It's not certain. It depends on how the herbs are prepared in the later stages."
"If you have anything to do, just go ahead and do it. You don't have to come to the palace to accompany me every day."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought that Wang Muxue asked because she was busy.
Upon hearing this, Wang Muxue immediately explained with a smile.
"I don't have anything to do, I just asked casually."
"I thought, if it takes a long time, I'll find some fun for everyone after we get back, so we don't get bored here."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded. "You can go and do whatever you want. You don't have to go to the palace every day. It would be too much of a burden for you."
While they were chatting, Li Jingjing took a break and walked over with a rosy complexion.
"Xiaoxiao, your pregnancy-protecting pills are really good. I only took a short nap and I felt like I had slept for several days."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "You really need to rest more. If you keep doing this, your body will be damaged."
Li Jingjing smiled faintly, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
"By the way, what are you guys talking about?"
Qin Xue briefly recounted what everyone had just said, and Li Jingjing understood.
"My husband did tell me a few things about Dayu, but they are mostly men's affairs, and we can't help."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I haven't seen Yangyang and Nuannuan for a long time. Why don't you bring them over and let them play with us for a while?"
This proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, and soon the wet nurse brought the two little kids in.
Here, everyone was teasing the child, it was a very heartwarming scene, while on the other side, after Dugu Xin brought Princess Xinya and Ye Sheng back to the imperial capital, he went to meet Emperor Dayu.
In the meeting hall of the Dayu Dynasty, Dugu Xin and others saluted the emperor and empress sitting on the high seat.
"Your son pays homage to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother."
"The Great Xia envoy pays homage to His Majesty Dayu and the Empress Dowager."
Everyone bowed and Emperor Dayu wanted to ask some questions, but since there were so many people around, he swallowed his words.
Queen Dayu was already angry because she had lost contact with the Qi family army.
Now that she saw Dugu Xin coming back safe and sound, she suddenly became even angrier.
After Emperor Dayu asked everyone to excuse themselves from formalities, Empress Dayu was the first to speak out.
"Prince, why are you away for so long this time?"
"You know, your father has high hopes for you. You can't just focus on sightseeing."
Dugu Xin looked at Queen Dayu neither humbly nor arrogantly, then stepped forward to answer.
"Your Majesty, I was worried about the safety of my younger sister, so I wanted to go and greet her."
"But I didn't expect that we would encounter some problems when we arrived at the border, which forced us to delay for such a long time."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Dayu looked at Dugu Xin and Princess Xinya in confusion.
"Oh? I remember you said you were going to take a walk in the nearby mountains and rivers before leaving the palace. Now it seems you must have encountered something interesting. Why not tell us about it so that everyone can hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Xinya immediately stood beside Dugu Xin and looked at Emperor Dayu with a shy and frightened look on her face.
"Father, you don't know that what we encountered this time was not a fun thing."
Emperor Dayu laughed heartily, "How come your trip to Daxia has made you so timid?"
"As the children of Dayu, we must not let others laugh at us."
Princess Xinya was somewhat dissatisfied, but she also knew that she was no longer the beloved daughter.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm too timid, it's just that this matter is too shocking."
"I wonder if your Majesty has ever heard of the idiom 'raising rats as a pest'?"
Emperor Dayu frowned slightly, while Empress Dayu's expression changed again and again.
Emperor Dayu became a little impatient, so he looked at Dugu Xin and asked.
"Prince, tell me, what exactly is going on?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, when I passed by Cangwu Mountain, I noticed that the rats there were large and numerous, so I became more cautious."
"After repeated observation, I discovered that these mice were actually raised by someone specifically."
"In order to investigate these rats, I have been delayed for some time. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Emperor Dayu no longer cared about the issue of time. He now wanted to know more about the mouse.
Dugu Xin did not keep the suspense any longer and briefly recounted what happened on Cangwu Mountain.
