"Your majesty, you absolutely cannot." The ministers spoke in unison as they all voted against Qin Shuo’s proposal.
Fortunately Qin Shuo had expected it, otherwise he would have been angered to the point of spitting blood.
"Why not?" Qin Shuo sneered, "The imperial concubines can’t be political, right? I know that you guys have these things in your heads."
The civil officials looked at each other, thinking that the Emperor was clever enough to guess what they were thinking.
"Your majesty, for the safety of the Imperial City, the Emperor shouldn’t have passed the command to the Empress." Imperial Censor mustered his strength and said in a rough voice. He knew that he must not give in on this matter.
They had already let Hu Xiao go many times when it came to this matter, so this time, they were united as one and stood firmly against him.
Qin Shuo wasn’t stupid, he naturally saw through their determination. Thus, he asked coldly, "In your opinion, who should we hand over the command to?"
Hu Xiao stood indifferently at the side, clearly seeing the battles in the imperial court. She sneered, and thought to herself: How can I not compare to you?
The ministers looked at each other, and finally focused their gaze on Zhao Qiyan.
"Your majesty, the General Zhao is a martial general. In my opinion, handing over command of Imperial Army to the General Zhao is the best thing that can happen." Although Zhao Qiyan and Hu Xiao’s relationship was good, other than the fact that he was capable, there were no other people in the imperial government.
Qin Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly, and in the end, agreed to it. He passed over the command to Zhao Qiyan, which was exactly what he wanted.
Coming out from the throne room, Qin Shuo and Hu Xiao walked side by side, suddenly, Qin Shuo took out a badge from nowhere and handed it over to Hu Xiao. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"What is this?" Hu Xiao puzzledly asked, she did not dare to casually take the order badge.
In her heart, she was concerned about the girl outside the palace, and at this moment, she only wanted to go out and take a look.
"Catch." Qin Shuo opened her fingers and placed the order badge on her hand, "When you have free time, go to Imperial Army to pick out people, and the Imperial Army will be under your control."
The corner of Qin Shuo’s mouth raised slightly. He knew that Hu Xiao would definitely be happy after hearing this news.
In her ecstasy, Hu Xiao was unable to react for a while. She stared wide-eyed and stared at Qin Shuo foolishly.
The Imperial Army are managed by her? Isn’t it supposed to be managed by Zhao Qiyan!
Abruptly, Hu Xiao understood what he meant. Giving the command over to Zhao Qiyan was just a pretense, but Qin Shuo actually wanted to give him the command over.
Hu Xiao was extremely happy, she immediately jumped up from the ground and said happily: "Awesome, Qin Shuo, I love you so much, I’m so happy!"
Hu Xiao excitedly jumped up, his entire body hanging on top of Qin Shuo’s body as she gave a fierce kiss to him, not caring about Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng’s presence.
Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng looked at each other in silence.
Seeing that, Qin Shuo was extremely happy, he took the chance to hug Hu Xiao and said: "Xiao-Xiao, let’s go, let’s return to Bedchamber."
Looking at the two’s backs as they left, Zhao Qiyan felt his heart ache. He bit his lower lip and said with a sour tone: "A moment of reconciliation, a while of quarreling, I really don’t know what’s going on with the two of them."
"Sigh, the emperor and empress are truly enemies after all." He continued with a bitter smile.
Seeing the two of them like this, Yin Fufeng’s heart felt extremely uncomfortable. He patted Zhao Qiyan’s shoulders and said indifferently: "I’ll go back first.
He directly told her what he thought. Looking at the woman he liked cuddling with other men, he could not take it anymore.
Even if that man was Hu Xiao’s husband, his heart was completely cold.
Hu Xiao, do you know that I like you too?
Returning to the residence, Yin Fufeng’s mind still flashed with the scene of Qin Shuo getting intimate with Hu Xiao.
He shook his head, took out the personally brewed Peach Blossom Wine and took a few sips.
"Master, Minister Wen has calmed down a lot these past two days. Although he did not take any action, he still called for a group of ministers to discuss things with him." The guard was half-kneeling on the ground, respectfully reporting on the situation at Minister Wen’s residence.
After he finished listening, Yin Fufeng nodded slightly. He asked, "Did you hear what kind of discussion they are having?"
This was the main point of this matter, he would never allow Minister Wen to do anything that would harm Hu Xiao.
"This subordinate does not know, that the Minister Wen’s manor is heavily guarded, and this subordinate does not dare to approach too close, so this subordinate does not know the specific matters that the Minister Wen is discussing in the mansion." He was afraid that if he got too close, his identity would be revealed, so he had been extremely cautious all along.
"Yes, I understand. I will continue staring at him." Yin Fufeng’s eyes flashed. Right after he finished speaking, someone came to report.
"Go back first. If there is any movement from the Minister Wen, report back to us." Yin Fufeng waved his hand, gesturing for him to leave the place from the window.
Then he turned to the door and asked, "What is it?"
"Master, Mr Mo Zhu is here." A respectful voice came from outside the door. Hearing what was said, Yin Fufeng put down his wine cup, his heart full of surprise.
"Quickly invite Mr Mo Zhu in."
Compared to the last time they met, Yin Fufeng’s heart was heavy. The Mr Mo Zhu saw people with precision, and more or less, he guessed the truth.
"Mo Zhu, why have you come?" Yin Fufeng asked with a smile on his face. He tried his best to pretend that he was happy.
However, he couldn’t pretend to be happy. Within a few seconds, he had revealed his true colors.
"It’s so lonely to drink alone!" Mo Zhu chuckled. "I just happened to come along. I’ll drink with you."
"Do you want a few dishes with wine?" Yin Fufeng asked with interest. Seeing Mo Zhu, he temporarily put aside his worries.
However, he still appeared to be preoccupied. Mo Zhu called for the servants and told them to prepare the food and wine.
"I had nothing better to do at home, so I wanted to drink with you. I didn’t expect you to drink with me first." Mo Zhu smiled, then said lightly, "Are you in a bad mood or something?"
After hearing this, how could Yin Fufeng dare to tell Mo Zhu about his worries? He shook his head and laughed, "I just want to drink. The Emperor has set up his Imperial Army and is investigating the assassination attempt on a woman’s Imperial examinations. Have you heard about it?"
Mo Zhu rarely went to court, and he stayed at home most of the time, so Yin Fufeng couldn’t guess whether he had heard of this before.
"I heard that the Emperor gave the authority to command to the General Zhao on the surface, but in reality, he gave the Empress the authority to manage the Imperial Army, right?" Although he was staying at home, he knew what was happening outside like the back of his hand. Maybe, he knew better than Yin Fufeng.
Hearing that, Yin Fufeng opened his eyes wide, thinking that Mr Mo Zhu was indeed strong, he deserved to be called Mr Mo Zhu.
He secretly admired Mo Zhu, and in the process of discussing political affairs with Mo Zhu, he gradually forgot about Hu Xiao.
