Letting out a sigh, Hu Xiao turned around and looked at the few people in front of him. It seemed like she had not seen them for a long time.
"The matters outside the city have basically been settled. Let’s go."
Just a moment ago, he was already prepared on the road to not be able to leave. Indeed, even if he wanted to leave, he could not do so now, as there was not much difference between being watched from afar and being under Qin Shuo’s watch.
At this moment, the woman who was still at the door and had yet to leave came up.
"Empress isn’t going with us anymore?"
"Empress is always a pampered place. How could a place like the outside of the city let Empress stay?"
"That’s right, the Empress has already taught us so much, we should return to her side."
"... ..."
Everyone around Hu Xiao spoke at once, but the words that no one said were unpleasant to hear, their eyes slightly red.
As for those who don’t want to be with your couple, just come and look for the yamen. I will let the Prefect give you a public certificate, and if you are afraid of being beaten up, then report it to the officials. After all, it is not related to being beaten up.
One by one, they consoled her. Although they always had a lot of respect for her, Hu Xiao could hear the concern in their words.
Even the few people at the side did not urge Hu Xiao to go, they only waited with smiles on their faces.
After sending off the few of them, he did not go and take a look at the construction of the canal. After all, this was only an excuse that he wanted him to leave behind.
"Empress, this is a letter from the South Yue."
Seeing that Hu Xiao had lost the thought to escape, Zhi Lan took out the letter and handed it over to Hu Xiao.
"A letter?"
Didn’t he just come here a while ago? Why did he appear here again? Did something happen again? Even though she didn’t want to admit it, her South Yue was still her backing, so she naturally could not be too slow.
Fortunately, he still had the memories of his previous self in his mind.
"Heh, the news spread quite quickly."
After reading it, he passed it to Zhi Lan. This was the first time Zhi Lan had ever seen it, but the contents of the letter shocked him greatly.
"Empress, what should we do?"
So the only thing in the letter was for Hu Xiao to inform Hu Xiao about what she had done for the people of Sui City as well as the tools and water channels.
However, Sui City were far away to begin with, so how did he learn about them? How could she be so sure that it was Hu Xiao’s idea?
"It’s fine. Let’s go meet His Majesty."
At the moment, as the empress of East Court, what she was doing in the Sui City could also be considered as a secret, so it was naturally impossible for her to spread it out so easily.
"If the Empress tells His Majesty like this, will His Majesty misunderstand?"
It was obvious what Hu Xiao wanted to do, but Zhi Lan was not as calm as him. After all, no one could guess what the Sovereign King wanted to do.
"Impossible, if I were to pester you, you might really misunderstand."
Waving his hands casually, Zhang Xuan walked out.
After circling around and not seeing Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao could not help but feel a little annoyed. She happened to see someone.
"Where did His Majesty go?"
It turned out that the person was Wei Shi who was following beside Qin Shuo.
"Greetings, Empress. Your Majesty, His Majesty is here right now ..."
Wei Shi was shocked by the sudden appearance of Hu Xiao, upon hearing about Hu Xiao, her expression became even more terrifying.
"What’s wrong? "Directly?"
"His Majesty is at Imperial Consort Xue’s place."
"Err ..." I understand. "
Seeing that, Wei Shi anxiously left, and there was no need to continue speaking with Xue Mier, because she hated Xue Mier.
"Empress, why don’t we go back first?"
"What for?" Let’s go, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen Imperial Consort Xue, let’s go meet. "
The corner of her mouth raised slightly. After taking a glance at Zhi Lan, Hu Xiao turned around and walked towards Xue Mier’s room. It was not some big deal, so why should she be afraid?
There were a few times when she wanted to say something, but seeing that Hu Xiao did not have any intention to stop, she could only follow behind Hu Xiao.
"Yoh, you guys are truly in deep love. Coincidentally, I haven’t even eaten yet, so why don’t we eat together?"
After stopping the little palace maid from reporting the news, she strode in. When she saw the actions of the two people on the table, she could not help but say with a sigh.
Tsk tsk, look at how you’re giving it to me, while I give it to you. Could it be that this is the look that Xue Mier gave me a few days ago when she said that her majesty was ignoring her?
The two of them could not help but be startled, Hu Xiao’s actions made them feel awkward, as though they wished for Hu Xiao to leave quickly.
If the concubine had seen the affection between the king and the other concubines in front of him, she would have turned around and left long ago. A concubine like Hu Xiao, who had such a calm expression while watching the show, had truly never heard of it and had never seen it.
"Continue, you guys continue. I’m just a little hungry. I’m here to get some food."
Looking at the two of them staring at him blankly, he put down the plates in his hands unwillingly and said with dissatisfaction.
Hearing Hu Xiao’s words, Xue Mier and Qin Shuo acted as if they had recovered from the shock and continued with their actions.
Seeing that, Hu Xiao nodded her head, but not long after, Hu Xiao regretted it, the two of them were too tired of each other, even though she considered herself to be more resolute, but she still felt that it was too tiresome, and after randomly taking a few bites, Hu Xiao placed the things in her hands down and looked at the ’rich love’ the two of them had.
"That’s enough, what else is there for the empress?"
Anyone who was being stared at like that by Hu Xiao would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Mn, has His Majesty and Imperial Consort Xue finished eating yet?"
What happened? Hu Xiao looked at Xue Mier, whose face was now the color of a pig’s liver.
"What is it that the empress can say directly."
It was originally meant to be fun to begin with, so after being disturbed by Hu Xiao, naturally, she no longer had those random, messy thoughts.
Seeing that Xue Mier did not have the intention to leave, Hu Xiao directly ignored Zhi Lan who was doing something behind her back.
"It’s like this, Your Majesty. Since Sui City could survive through this disaster, those drains and the method of digging the well must be my concubine’s idea, right?"
Qin Shuo was a little baffled, but he still nodded his head. After all, what Hu Xiao said was not a lie.
