In the end, under Hu Xiao’s perseverance, Zhi Lan still obediently brought over the clothes.
When the master and servant left the palace together, Zhi Lan’s appearance changed slightly. She thought that in a while, she only needed to tell the guards that she was with Empress and they shouldn’t suspect anything. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Thinking about it this way, Hu Xiao became much more confident. However, she didn’t expect that the one guarding the entrance of the palace this time was Qin Shuo’s personal bodyguard, Ah Qi.
Ah Qi often saw Hu Xiao, so he was very familiar with her figure and appearance. Even if Hu Xiao turned to dust, he could still recognize her.
"Empress, the Emperor said that the Empress is not allowed to leave the palace." Ah Qi’s voice suddenly sounded, scaring Hu Xiao.
She did not see Ah Qi, so she did not know that he had stopped his.
"Big brother guard, you must have recognized the wrong person. How am I some empress? At most, I’m just a second-rate maidservant by the empress’s side." Hu Xiao laughed awkwardly, her beautiful eyes moved, as though she wanted to see if there were any familiar people here!
He was out of luck, there really was one!
When her eyes met Ah Qi’s gaze, she almost wanted to crash her head against the palace wall and die.
The corner of Hu Xiao’s mouth twitched, then she raised her head and arrogantly said: "Where I go is my freedom. You all have no right to stop me, including Your Majesty."
After she finished speaking, she started walking forward, step by step, she did not put Ah Qi in her eyes at all.
Ah Qi had always only listened to Qin Shuo’s words, he did not listen to Hu Xiao’s bullshit reasoning, his straight and strong body blocked the entrance of the palace, and his attitude explained everything.
"Empress, sorry for offending you." Ah Qi’s voice was hard and emotionless. His face was cold and there was not a trace of warmth on it.
This guy is going against the heavens, he’s not even listening to Empress’s words, Qin Shuo’s people are even more arrogant than Qin Shuo.
At least in front of her, Qin Shuo would still listen to her.
"Even Qin Shuo doesn’t dare to stop me, who the hell do you think you are, you dare to block me?" Hu Xiao asked harshly. Since he could not do it sneakily, then he might as well break out, it was better than staying in the palace.
She continued to walk forward, until she was in front of Ah Qi, Hu Xiao used her strength to push him hard, but seeing that Ah Qi did not move, Hu Xiao did not push him away.
This guy, what a tough body, I can’t even move him!
To her words, the Ah Qi neither answered directly nor apologized. He only knew that his mission was to stop the Empress and bring the Empress back to the palace.
At the same time, he admired the emperor for actually guessing the empress’s intentions.
Hu Xiao’s face darkened, following that, she clenched her teeth and pushed Ah Qi again. Ah Qi turned around and imprisoned Hu Xiao with her hand.
"Empress, I’m sorry." His martial arts were above Hu Xiao’s, so Hu Xiao couldn’t do anything to him.
"You dare to sneak up on me? I’ll cripple you!" Hu Xiao said shamelessly, making it sound like Ah Qi was sneaking a hand at his uniform.
Hearing this, the Ah Qi’s face flushed red as he tried to defend himself, "Empress, please do not speak nonsense. This subordinate is definitely not a shameless person."
Not only did he not want to let go of Hu Xiao, he also wanted to bring Hu Xiao to the throne room.
All the officials present in the hall were shocked by Hu Xiao’s arrival. When had they ever heard of the Empress entering the throne room?
The faces of the ministers were as ugly as if they had swallowed flies. Seeing that, Hu Xiao’s anger had dissipated by half, the officials and officials did not allow women to enter the throne room, while she, Hu Xiao, insisted on coming.
"Queen, stand by the side." Qin Shuo looked at Hu Xiao, gesturing for her to watch.
As for whether or not the imperial concubine would be able to enter the throne room, Qin Shuo did not care at all.
However, just because he didn’t care didn’t mean that the officials didn’t care.
Imperial Censor was the first to enter the stage. He cupped his hands towards Qin Shuo and said in a stern voice: "Your majesty, the imperial harem cannot be used for political purposes. The imperial concubine and imperial concubine are even less allowed to step into the throne room.
"Li Aiqing, the rules were set by someone. Now that the world is different, the rules must be changed as well." Qin Shuo unhurriedly replied him, and basically had no intention of letting Hu Xiao out.
Hearing his words, Hu Xiao’s eyes lit up, revealing a gaze that said "the child can be taught". Yes, rules are set by the person, they should change according to the time.
The Imperial Censor was cut off by his words, he used the corner of his eyes to quickly glance at the other Imperial Censor s, seeing that they were hesitating to speak, Imperial Censor Li continued, "Your majesty, since ancient times there has never been such a thing, even if we changed the rules, we should not change this teachings of our ancestors."
After hearing that, Qin Shuo shook his head, laughed lightly, and said: "Li Aimin, you and Wen Aimin are the same, you are too arbitrary, you only look at the surface, and we, on the other hand, have seen the inner palace. The imperial concubine has entered the throne room, in our view, this is an improvement in the way East Court people view things."
Qin Shuo told the Imperial Censor everything that Hu Xiao had told him. At this time, the Imperial Censor had nothing to say, they knew that the Emperor was determined to protect the Empress, so no matter what they said, the Emperor would find some strange excuse to stop them.
Following that, Qin Shuo turned his head and looked at Yin Fufeng with a meaningful gaze. Yin Fufeng immediately came to a meeting, stood up, and changed the topic.
"For the past few days, the Imperial City has been in a state of chaos. Assassins were roaming about, and the Emperor was concerned with the safety of the Imperial City. He had set up a city guard to guard the Imperial City.
Yin Fufeng simply explained Qin Shuo’s intention. As he was speaking, his gaze turned to the hundred officials’ bodies, and finally stopped on Hu Xiao’s body.
Hu Xiao grinned, thinking that this method was feasible. This way, the female examinee would be safe, and she would give a thumbs up in her heart, praising Qin Shuo for his achievements.
"If I had done this earlier, I wouldn’t have been angry at him yesterday. Don’t you know that anger can make people age?!" Hu Xiao ridiculed in her heart. She was very happy for the safety of the woman who took the exam.
Her eyes revealed a look of admiration, and met her gaze. Qin Shuo smiled.
Just smile and be happy, he thought.
"This is the empress’s suggestion, so we plan to give the authority of Imperial Army to the empress, what do you think?" Qin Shuo said in all seriousness. His eyes quickly swept across the ministers below, his voice cold and sharp.
Without asking, it was obvious that this group of old antiques would object.
Qin Shuo had interacted with them for a long time, so he had long understood their personality. The reason he asked was only to see them anxious for debate.
Indeed, upon hearing that, the faces of all the ministers below changed. Unless they were crazy, they would not agree to Qin Shuo’s suggestion.
They were opposed to the imperial harem being in power from the start, so if Qin Shuo handed over the authority of Imperial Army to Hu Xiao, they would definitely explode!
