"I never, at that time, the General Zhao also recognized him when the Empress and the General Zhao entered the yamen."
Originally, he was sent to the empress’s side to protect her in the dark, but after a day, he had gained respect from the empress in his heart, and there was no longer the contempt he had for her in the past.
"General Zhao?"
"After helping out at the restaurant, the empress and General Zhao got to know each other."
Qin Shuo waved his hands and allowed the Shadow Guard to leave.
When Imperial Consort Xue saw Qin Shuo’s absent-minded state, she immediately knew that Hu Xiao had messed up her heartstrings, and her heart was filled with jealousy. Even though she had a tinge of envy after hearing about Hu Xiao’s one day outing outside the palace, in the blink of an eye, she was only deeply jealous.
Jealousy was clearly outside the palace, but it was always taken care of by His Majesty. It was always taken care of by His Majesty.
If Hu Xiao knew that the Imperial Consort Xue had hated him for such a long time, she would definitely regret it.
"Courtier Wei, inform the young relatives of the justice courts, take over the case of the Prefect, investigate everything thoroughly at the yamen, and arrest the merchant who made a move on the empress, confiscate the family’s property, and have his wife and daughter exiled. Let the justice courts investigate the crime."
Qin Shuo said after thinking for a while.
The empress might be unreasonable, but this meant that there should not be a single blemish on the face of East Court. Those troublesome citizens actually dared to offend them, so naturally, I had to welcome them on behalf of the empress.
"Your Majesty, the empress has returned to the palace."
Palace Servant came to report.
"Imperial Consort Xue, I still have some matters to take care of. You can return to the palace first."
Qin Shuo looked at Imperial Consort Xue and said.
"Okay."
Naturally, Imperial Consort Xue knew who she was going to meet. Although she was jealous in her heart, she still did not dare to openly disobey the Holy Will in the end.
"Empress Xuan has come to see Gu."
Hu Xiao was stopped on the way back to her own Bedchamber. Looking at the eunuch in front of her, she knew that this was Qin Shuo’s personal eunuch.
"Is Eunuch Wei busy?"
Hu Xiao was normally kind and amiable, as long as she was not targeted, Hu Xiao would never be stingy with her good temper.
"Reporting to Empress, His Majesty knew that Empress had already returned to the palace, so he sent this lowly one to bring the Empress to see Your Majesty."
Eunuch Wei actually had a good impression of Hu Xiao. Although Hu Xiao was the empress, she did not put on airs with petty people, and although there were not many chances for Hu Xiao to pass down his decree, just a few times was enough for these people who had lived beside him since they were young to see it clearly.
Hu Xiao was very clear about the purpose of this visit. Honestly speaking, Hu Xiao did not want to go see Qin Shuo at all.
"The reason why I was able to leave the palace without being bestowed upon me by Your Majesty is to properly express my gratitude. Eunuch Wei, let’s go. "
Hu Xiao missed modern phones very much. If she had a phone right now, she would have just called to say her farewells. She still had to travel a long distance to another place to do this, it was truly tormenting.
In the past, Hu Xiao was very respectful to his old palace, thinking that the wisdom of the ancient people were extremely outstanding. They did not have the modern, advanced machines, but they were able to build this huge palace with just their own hands, little by little.
Although this palace was not the Palace that he was familiar with in the modern world, in Hu Xiao’s opinion, it was not inferior to this palace at all.
But now, Hu Xiao really wanted to scold the person who designed this place. Why would she want to design this great palace? She rarely allowed the eunuchs to carry the palanquin, so she had to walk by herself.
Amidst Hu Xiao’s curses, it quickly arrived.
"Empress, His Majesty has been waiting inside for a long time.
Hu Xiao nodded and turned.
When Hu Xiao came in, she found Qin Shuo pretending to be dealing with official business, and did not want his bored look to be seen by his empress. For some reason, Qin Shuo always felt that his idle look would always be mocked by Hu Xiao.
But in the end, Qin Shuo was the one who was overthinking things. The current Hu Xiao did not have any intentions of bickering with Qin Shuo, after playing around for a day, even the mansion had already opened up. Now, her heart was only thinking of returning early to rest after returning to Qin Shuo’s residence.
"Your servant greets Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Jin An."
Although she was unwilling, Hu Xiao still had a lot of courtesy, so Qin Shuo was unable to find anything wrong with it.
"Stand up. Is the empress happy to go out for a day?"
Although Qin Shuo had long heard about Hu Xiao’s actions outside the palace from the Shadow Guard, Qin Shuo really wanted to know what Hu Xiao was thinking.
"Many thanks to Your Majesty for giving me a concubine to leave the palace. The outside world is much freer. How about all sorts of restrictions within the palace? It’s just that the people of the world outside the palace are all complicated ..."
In the end, Hu Xiao spoke in a euphemistic manner, causing Qin Shuo to smile slightly.
"I have been careless. I heard that today, two of my court officials were strolling with the empress?"
"Yes, His Majesty sent someone to follow Chenqie?"
Hu Xiao was slightly dissatisfied, someone was following him, Hu Xiao already knew when she left the palace, so this person was actually from Qin Shuo? If he knew about his actions and words, why would he bother calling him over?
"Why does the empress have to speak in such a harsh tone? I’m only talking about the empress’s safety, but the empress has not been here for too long, so I don’t even know that the empress has overstepped her boundaries with the officials in the imperial court."
Qin Shuo was dissatisfied with this, although he was very clear about the personality of Yin Fufeng and Zhao Qiyan, the Empress was his own wife after all, so he would naturally feel uncomfortable if he walked too close to another man, let alone the Patriarch of the East Court.
"Does Your Majesty think that chenqie is intentionally getting close to the two sirs?"
Hu Xiao was unhappy, she was being too lenient, she did not have any good impression of Qin Shuo in the first place, she wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible. Furthermore, Qin Shuo was treating him like this now.
Since it was someone from the Qin Shuo Sect, then why did he not take action when he was in a fight with someone else?
The Shadow Guard had planned on being completely loyal to Hu Xiao, but who knew that Hu Xiao would be dissatisfied with him for coming into contact with him for the first time.
"Regardless of whether I am or not, the Empress is in fact with the two court officials today."
At this time, Hu Xiao no longer wished to continue the conversation with Qin Shuo, and her tone no longer contained the same indifferent gratitude she had before as well.
"A few days ago, His Majesty thought so, so let’s forget about it. I don’t want to explain anything."
Hu Xiao’s tone made Qin Shuo feel dissatisfied as well.
"What does the empress mean by this?"
"There’s no meaning. I still have some matters to take care of in this palace, so chenqie will take her leave first. That’s right, chenqie will bring back a palace maid from outside the palace and set it up in my palace."
Without waiting for Qin Shuo’s reply, Hu Xiao turned and left.
He just knew that he was at odds with Qin Shuo, look, if he did not say anything, then it would be better for him to just quarrel, but instead, it was time to plan on going to the Li Palace.
No one had ever left such an impolite place in front of Qin Shuo before. The flames of anger in Qin Shuo’s heart instantly rose.
Qin Shuo had already forgotten that he had given many of his first time to Hu Xiao. For example, the first time he was beaten up by the imperial concubine, the first time he had to let go of his position and negotiate peace with the imperial concubine ...
If it was in the past, Qin Shuo would be this rude, Qin Shuo would be furious and have his five horses torn apart, but this Hu Xiao, who could still not move, could not help but feel extremely aggrieved in her heart.
