"What is it? That day, you and your cousin Wen Fuchen swore that you would cripple my position at the back of the palace. Did you completely forget about that? "
Hu Xiao completely caught the hatred that flashed past her eyes, but she did not care.
Xue Mier hated herself for more than a day or two, so she, Hu Xiao, did not care about being hated by Xue Mier anymore.
"Empress, you knew about this a long time ago?"
How did Hu Xiao know that they had done this so cleanly? Does that mean Her Majesty knows as well? They couldn’t help but feel chills down their spines. If that was really the case, then did they make the wrong decision?
"Originally, I didn’t know, but now it seems like you already know."
After dispersing the power in his hands, he took the handkerchief that Zhi Lan passed to him and wiped it slowly, as if he was holding onto something extremely dirty.
"You ..."
Xue Mier did not dare believe it, and actually admitted it herself. Her mind was in a mess, and did not know what to do next.
"Zhi Lan, Imperial Consort Xue doesn’t seem to be too well. Let’s send our guests off. I’m also tired."
However, Hu Xiao did not have any thoughts of continuing to care about this man. After instructing Zhi Lan, she turned around and left.
Zhi Lan did not have a good temper like Hu Xiao, she directly pulled Xue Mier who was lying on the ground, pushed him out of the room, and just as she was about to say something, she closed the door.
Xue Mier could not care about all this at the moment, and anxiously ran far away.
"What?" Is that really what she said? "
A few days ago, Wen Fuchen had smashed one of his ribs with a single slap, and now, he was still lying on the bed resting. However, due to the matter of Sui City, he had not been able to rest properly these past few days.
In the past, was always responsible for all of these things, but he did not know that there were so many troubles. It was obvious that Hu Xiao had explained it so simply and clearly in the imperial court that day, but why did Wen Fuchen have so many complicated matters in his hands?
Previously, he felt that Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng had taken responsibility for the Sui City disaster and had found an excuse for them to take over from Qin Shuo. Now, the two of them only needed to be in charge of the safety of the Sui City and nothing else.
Just like Hu Xiao, she could not see anyone, and had only used one sentence to stop him.
Everything was for Hu Xiao, to say that everything that happened, big and small, was managed by Hu Xiao, they did not know about it either! Listen, listen to these words! Hu Xiao had actually subdued these two in just a few months, what kind of methods was this?
"Cousin brother, the citizens of Sui City are going to explode, and we don’t know what to do with the construction of the canal, so we stopped, and the crops planted outside the city are going to die again. What should we do?"
The two of them could be said to be on fire. Normally, the officials following behind them could not have imagined that their arrogant thoughts would only make this matter worse.
"Hu Xiao won’t say anything in front of everyone?"
At first, he had placed his hopes on Hu Xiao, but after being locked up for so many days, Hu Xiao had become more obedient. However, when she saw that the news Xue Mier brought back was all bad news, she could not help but feel a chill in her heart.
"Forget it, forget it. I can’t let the people of Sui City suffer another disaster like they did before. I will personally go see this Empress."
This feeling was really not good. It was obvious that he was the one who had meddled too much with the imperial court in front of the Emperor, the Empress. But now, he had to personally ask Hu Xiao to explain the solution to this matter.
Even so, Wen Fuchen was still ashamed to meet Hu Xiao. He sent Xue Mier back and allowed the others to help him up.
Originally, he thought that as long as he did what Hu Xiao had done before, the citizens of Sui City would be able to make a smooth transition. However, he did not know that there were so many secrets behind it, that they were all unfamiliar with each other.
"Empress, Minister Wen requests an audience."
Zhi Lan glanced at Wen Fuchen who was kneeling at the door, and turned to report to Hu Xiao.
"No, didn’t I say that my body wasn’t feeling well and I wouldn’t meet anyone?"
Hu Xiao naturally knew why Wen Fuchen was here, but she was feeling bad, how could he be willing to see him? freewёbnoνel.com
"Empress, Empress, please have a look at this official, the citizens of Sui City need the Empress, Empress!"
A mouthful of ill temper clogged up Wen Fuchen’s chest, but when he thought about his Sui City which was gradually becoming chaotic, he could not help but shout out.
Shut up, our queen has already said it, why would Minister Wen be like that? You were the one who said that our queen doesn’t follow the rules and interferes with the court’s affairs, and now that something has happened, you all have come to find her.
Zhi Lan had already harbored a deep grudge towards Wen Fuchen, but at this moment, she saw that even though Hu Xiao had said that she would not see his, Wen Fuchen still did not let him go. She could not help but feel angry in her heart, but when she remembered that one of the ribs in her chest had been broken by her own mother, she spoke with ill intentions.
"Please let me know more, the people of Sui City cannot wait any longer."
Wen Fuchen was normally a high and mighty Minister Wen, who wouldn’t curry favor with him when they saw him, when would they ever receive such treatment! However, he was still unable to flare up, so he could only silently endure.
"The Empress said she won’t!"
Furthermore, Hu Xiao was currently busy, so after casting a glance at Wen Fuchen, Zhi Lan did not even think, and closed the door behind him. Today, she was already very familiar with closing the door, and the action of closing the door was extremely crisp and clean. Wen Fuchen looked at the door for a long time, but did not have any indications of opening it, so he could only turn and leave.
In her heart, she knew that Hu Xiao was making things difficult for him, venting her anger over the previous matter. Seems like the decision to cripple His Majesty was the right decision.
If Hu Xiao knew what Wen Fuchen was thinking, she would be so angry that she would laugh. She had never seen such a thick-skinned person before, not to mention, the person who was a imperial court official.
"Your Majesty, why have you come to find chenqie?" Chenqie is very busy, okay? "
Although it was not that Hu Xiao was not feeling well, it was not as if she was meeting an outsider. Especially since Qin Shuo was still here.
"Empress ..."
Qin Shuo saw that Hu Xiao, who was hiding from him, was feeling helpless. It had been so many days, but Hu Xiao did not seem to want to walk in with him at all.
"Your Majesty, chenqie can’t afford the title of Empress. Didn’t Your Majesty intend to cripple her before?"
