But Xue Mier and the rest felt that it was their own, and not passing these things to other nations. South Yue was her home country, and it was an alliance from the beginning, but from the looks of it, what words that Hu Xiao had said made him feel that it was from the atmosphere of friendship between the two countries?
But now that she gave all these to Zhi Lan, it would be entirely up to him. If Zhi Lan didn’t give these to him behind her back, it wouldn’t really matter to Hu Xiao.
Slowly returning to her room, Zhi Lan was left standing by the table thinking.
"Your Majesty, this is a message from the dark guard."
In the study room, Yin Fufeng gave the note in his hand to Qin Shuo.
The expressions on their faces turned increasingly grim. The news that they had received was indeed a headache for them.
"Frequent movements?"
He placed the note in his hand into a nearby bonfire, and a moment later, it disappeared.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Hur hur, it’s nothing. Let’s continue to monitor the situation. There’s some sort of movement being reported."
In these few days, his East Court had suffered from a certain degree of trauma. If the neighboring countries took this opportunity to send troops, it would be an extremely troublesome matter. Moreover, the Southern Patrol was not over yet, so there were many things that could not be dealt with.
"Oh right, let’s quickly end the Southern Patrol. If the Imperial City is empty for too long, I’m afraid some people might suspect something."
Yin Fufeng nodded his head, that was what he had intended, but after thinking about it, he was still unable to say it, since the end of the Southern Patrol was a major event, and the omens were not good either.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject seems to have heard some bad news about the empress. Has Your Majesty heard?"
All this while, both in the open and in the dark, Hu Xiao had already heard many rumors and rumors about them, to the point that her ears were slightly callused. But this was the first time Yin Fufeng had ever brought this up carefully, causing him to be extremely curious.
"Tell me about it."
"I heard that the Empress wants to send the blueprints for the drought drilling of the Sui City to the South Yue? It seems to be behind your back, Your Majesty? "
He did not know what Qin Shuo meant exactly, and how he reacted after hearing it. However, a few days ago, he had wanted Hu Xiao to not care about these things, and now, he had heard these words.
"Oh, this is something that I know of only by myself. One day, the empress came to us with a letter from the South Yue, I neither agreed nor disagreed with it. I think these words were said by Xue Mier."
However, there were only a few people who knew about it, so Hu Xiao would naturally not divulge about it so much, and it seemed like there would only be Xue Mier.
"Then, your Majesty, what do you think now?"
Yin Fufeng was a little shocked, but it did seem like Hu Xiao would do something just now, and inform Qin Shuo of everything. If not for those words, Qin Shuo would probably not have been able to listen to them as calmly as he was now.
"There is indeed a certain amount of truth in the empress’s words, but let this matter rest. There is no need to explain it so early."
Waving his hand, Yin Fufeng left.
He turned around and walked to the window. The birds outside were chirping merrily, as if something had happened to them.
Xue Mier was the only one who would spread this news. She wanted the empress to stand against the officials of the imperial court once again and remain as foolish as ever.
Thinking about it, even if Hu Xiao heard these words, she would probably look down on him. After all, she had told that she was going to do it that day in such a threatening manner, and these rumors would definitely not disturb her heart. Maybe she would even listen to the rumors that expressed her thoughts.
As expected, just now, Qin Shuo was secretly hiding on top of the roof beam.
"Empress!"
She had been hiding here with Hu Xiao somewhat helplessly, but in her heart, she had rejected Hu Xiao’s unparalleled offer.
"Shh, I’m coming."
She rolled her eyes at Zhi Lan, who mysteriously stared at the room.
"Have you guys heard? The Empress seems to be wanting to give it a try now, and wants to pass the secrets of my East Court to the South Yue."
"Really? Would the Empress really do this? Your Majesty definitely won’t agree to it. "
"But I feel that what Empress is doing is right. Even though Empress has already married into my East Court, the Empress is still a princess after all."
"... ..."
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he got, but the person who spoke up for Hu Xiao was a rare good seedling.
"Zhi Lan, you found a way to transfer this woman to my side. It’s only been a few days."
The lower class people seemed to want to continue talking, but someone had already come outside and had no choice but to stop.
Squinting his eyes, he turned around and left.
Hearing the words he wanted to hear, he naturally didn’t want to stay any longer. He returned to his room with a smile, but in his heart, he remembered the person who said those words.
Unknowingly, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Who is it!"
A shadow seemed to flash before his eyes. The man who had been sleeping had opened his eyes and quickly pulled out a dagger from under his pillow and threw it over.
"Tsk tsk."
He wanted to stop his actions when he heard that person’s voice.
"Your Majesty, are you busy this late?"
This was the first time someone walked to his bed after he fell asleep. He couldn’t help but wonder if it was because his vigilance had decreased or something.
"What, isn’t it natural to come alone to find the empress? Is there something you need to find the empress for? "
As he spoke, he took off his clothes and walked towards Hu Xiao.
Hu Xiao, who was still in a daze a moment ago, watched Qin Shuo’s every step and became more clear-headed.
This young and immature look really shouldn’t appear on Qin Shuo and himself, furthermore, she didn’t plan to offer his body to Qin Shuo! He had long ago instructed himself to not let anyone in after sleeping, but why would Qin Shuo appear here?
Now that she had already entered, it was naturally too late to say anything, but Hu Xiao was still very dissatisfied.
Seeing that Qin Shuo was close to him and could no longer control himself, he tried to suppress Qin Shuo’s hand. After struggling for a few moments, he was unable to struggle out.
They only saw Hu Xiao throw Qin Shuo out of the window unceremoniously as she tied up all sorts of things!
With a pa sound, Qin Shuo’s buttocks fell to the ground, and the window that he threw out earlier closed quickly.
The few palace maid s who were on night duty just now heard the commotion and were shocked, but after seeing Qin Shuo’s actions, they turned and left, the movements did not even pause for a moment.
