As expected, Zhi Lan, who was about to say something to him just now, instantly forgot what she wanted to say.
"Empress, can you stop worrying about this matter? It was Zhi Lan’s carelessness today and there won’t be a next time."
His answer surprised Hu Xiao a little, but after thinking about it for a while, she did not say anything more. After all, this was Zhi Lan’s own problem, she only needed to help Zhi Lan when she needed help, as for the others, she did not even care about herself.
Ever since Hu Xiao and Qin Shuo settled the matter of repairing the canal in front of the court officials, Hu Xiao became unusually busy, and did not even bother to bother about all the trivial matters.
"Empress, Mr Mo Zhu requests an audience."
After resting with much difficulty, the Mo Zhu whom she had not seen for a few days came to find her. In these few days, Hu Xiao was busy with the matter of repairing the canal, so she did not care much about digging the well inside the Sui City. freewebnovel-cσ๓
"Mm, let him in."
He patted his tired face and forced himself to sit up.
"Greetings Empress."
"Mr Mo Zhu? "What is it?"
The current Hu Xiao could not wait to lie on the bed and sleep, but the current Sui City did not allow him to be negligent in the slightest.
"Reporting to the Empress, it was about the matter of the well. I still have some doubts."
Mo Zhu naturally noticed that even though Hu Xiao was smiling, she could not cover up the tiredness on her face. Her heart tensed up, for the past few days, she had not been able to find Hu Xiao’s shadow, she must have been busy with this matter.
"Mm, if that’s the case, then go ahead."
"It’s like this. The Empress went to check out the location of the well, but we haven’t seen any water source for several days. Is there something wrong with the location?"
"Hmm? Still not out of the water? This shouldn’t be the case. Although I’ve been to that place before, the underground water source there is much more arid than before. Naturally, it’s deeper than before. Then does the earth that’s being beaten up from below feel moist? "
Hu Xiao thought for a while and asked.
After all, they were not specialized, and their rough location was only calculated. Since they did not see any water for the past few days, Hu Xiao was a little worried, and furthermore, if they were to dig deeper, it would not be safe for the people digging the well.
"There is some wetness. However, the depth has surpassed what I had anticipated. Do we need to take any further measures?"
Hearing that Mo Zhu’s words were a little wet, Hu Xiao felt at ease.
If that’s the case, then there must be water, so there’s no need to worry. The soil is getting more and more moist, so you don’t need to go down, and just throw a relatively weak primer down and explode.
"Alright."
After getting what he wanted to know about, Mo Zhu got up and prepared to leave, but when he raised his head, he saw that there was actually a leaf on the tip of Hu Xiao’s hair. He wanted to reach out and take the leaf off the leaf, but as he recalled what Qin Shuo had said before, he slowly put his hand down.
But in a moment, it was seen by Qin Shuo who came over to ask.
"This one shall take his leave."
He didn’t notice Mo Zhu’s small movement just now, but after hearing Mo Zhu’s words, he couldn’t wait for the man to leave.
Waiting until Hu Xiao was the only one left in the room, only then did Qin Shuo slowly and unhurriedly walk in.
"Empress, guess what Zhen saw just now?"
Hu Xiao sprawled on the table in exhaustion. If it was in the past, Qin Shuo would have already seen that something was amiss with Hu Xiao, but unfortunately, all he could see was Mo Zhu’s and Hu Xiao’s actions just now.
When a man and woman were alone, it looked like Mo Zhu was plotting against Hu Xiao! Especially in Qin Shuo’s opinion, Mo Zhu’s appearance was not bad! How could Qin Shuo endure this?
"Your Majesty? "Why are you here?"
Upon seeing that it was Qin Shuo, the spirit that he had been trying to hang on for a while calmed down. For some reason, in front of Qin Shuo, he felt even more relaxed.
Hu Xiao originally thought that she could take a break, but Qin Shuo was even more unwilling to let him go.
"What’s wrong? The empress doesn’t seem to want to see her alone? The next person to enter is either Gu Zi or Mo Zhu. The empress should be disappointed, right? "
Seeing that Hu Xiao had seemingly climbed up happily just now, and immediately laid down when she saw her, Qin Shuo actually thought that Hu Xiao’s reaction was entirely because she was the one who entered the room, and not because she was the one who was forced into it.
"What are you talking about?"
Hu Xiao felt a little baffled. She recalled that Mo Zhu was the one who came here first, could it be that Qin Shuo saw something incredible again, or did he misunderstand something?
But the two of them did not do anything excessive just now, what kind of anger did Qin Shuo have?
"Your Majesty, if your concubine is slightly tired and has nothing else to do, may Your Majesty leave first?"
Hu Xiao was already exhausted, but she was still unwilling to let it go. Furthermore, she had already used up all of her patience in the past few days, if not for the fact that she was too lazy to bother about it, Qin Shuo would probably be screwed.
"Empress, don’t challenge my patience. I can’t possibly pretend that I don’t know this more than once."
"Your Majesty? To think that you would think that your concubine has done it. May I ask, Your Majesty, what did your concubine do to infuriate your Majesty? "
"You! Empress, don’t be so ungrateful! "
Qin Shuo was truly angered to the point that he hated Hu Xiao. If Hu Xiao had said a few soft words to him, he might not have ended up in such a state, but she could do nothing about it.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Shuo was just about to leave. However, Hu Xiao quickly stepped forward and pulled Qin Shuo up.
"Let go! The empress wants to bring Gu Gou somewhere! "
Initially, he thought that Hu Xiao had thought things through, but when he saw Hu Xiao grabbing him and walking out of the yamen, Qin Shuo felt a rare sense of fear.
"We’ll know when we get there."
After saying that, Hu Xiao no longer spoke, and brought Qin Shuo to the place where the ditch that you had decided on that day.
Looking at the Sui City and soldiers working there, Qin Shuo was a little curious. In the past few days, Qin Shuo had not been to this place, he only knew that Hu Xiao had already started to handle the matter, but did not know how she was able to progress. He just wanted to ask Hu Xiao what was the meaning of this, so she put on a set of clothes.
Looking at the items in his arms, Qin Shuo was slightly dumbstruck. Although he had left the palace from time to time, he knew at a glance that the clothes in his arms were meant to be worn by the people of Sui City to repair the sewers. Qin Shuo, who had lived in luxury since he was young, had never touched such poor quality clothes and immediately wanted to throw away the clothes in his hands.
"Your Majesty, chenqie feels that Your Majesty has been too idle these past few days. To think that you would have the leisure to guess at something that doesn’t exist. How about we let Your Majesty experience the life of a commoner in the Sui City?"
Just a moment ago, Hu Xiao thought of this plan. She naturally knew that if she had told Qin Shuo about it from the start, he definitely would not have come, so she directly dragged it over. Since they had already reached this place, Hu Xiao believed that Qin Shuo could still escape.
