Hu Xiao specifically emphasized the word ’please’. After hearing this, Zhi Lan was slightly shocked, thinking to himself, When did Empress become so courteous?
"Your majesty, the Empress has prepared a table of food and is waiting for you to pass." She lowered her head a little, and did not stare at Qin Shuo.
Qin Shuo was skeptical, thinking that Xiaoxiao might be up to something again. In the afternoon, it was the decree of departure, but he didn’t know what would happen tonight.
Arriving at the Phoenix Perch Hall, before he even went in, he saw Hu Xiao. At this time, Hu Xiao was waiting for him at the door, and when she saw him, she smiled gently.
Qin Shuo scratched his chin, thinking that there was something good, he walked in quickly.
"Qin Shuo, eat more. After being busy the whole day, you must be hungry!" Hu Xiao constantly helped Qin Shuo with his food. Regarding Hu Xiao’s good intentions, Qin Shuo naturally accepted it.
Not long after, the table was a mess. Hu Xiao then asked with a smile on her face, "Qin Shuo, is today’s matter very difficult to deal with?"
"Hmm, that’s right, it’s not easy to deal with. Xiao-Xiao, there are some things that are not left up to me alone." Qin Shuo righteously spoke those words, and it was true that these matters could not garner the consent of all the civil and military officials.
"Then why didn’t you say so earlier in the afternoon? If I hadn’t asked Zhao Qiyan, hmph, you would still be in the dark." This afternoon, Qin Shuo did not clearly state whether or not he would pass down the decree to get away from his, causing her to think that Qin Shuo did not love his, and hence did not fulfill his request.
She pulled Qin Shuo’s clothes and wanted to punch him this afternoon as punishment for his actions, but Qin Shuo dodged her punch. Instead, Qin Shuo grabbed her arm instead, preventing his from hitting him.
Seeing that Hu Xiao had been subdued, Qin Shuo was extremely pleased, "Xiao-Xiao, in terms of martial arts, you are still not comparable to me."
Just then, Hu Xiao smirked and used her leg to hook onto Qin Shuo’s waist.
"Let’s see who will be the one laughing at the end." After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
In the midst of their laughter, the two of them truly reached an agreement.
However, the Minister Wen was worried about the matter regarding the decree. Before he went to court, he specially discussed this matter with the Master Lee and wanted to raise a rebuttal in the imperial court.
"Master Wen, if you take the lead later, we will definitely follow." Master Lee thought for a moment and said with a firm voice.
"Is that so?" Minister Wen cast his gaze at the other ministers, afraid that they would turn on him.
"So are we, Lord Wen. You can take the lead and say it, and we will agree." Lord Chen quickly said that he mustn’t issue the decree, what if his wife wanted to go with him?
After hearing everything, Minister Wen was relieved and led everyone in.
At this time, Hu Xiao who was still deep in her sleep was suddenly awakened by a piece of news. Zhi Lan shook her anxiously, and said in a horrified voice: "They started to fight, Empress, they started to fight."
"What does it have to do with me? What’s there to be so surprised about?" Hu Xiao yawned and said tiredly.
What was there to argue about in the morning? What she hated most was being woken up early in the morning.
She thought it was two people fighting, so she didn’t pay much attention to it.
However, Zhi Lan’s next words caused her to jump in fright, "Empress, wake up, the South Yue and North Qiang are fighting."
South Yue and North Qiang started to fight?
Hearing that, Hu Xiao suddenly opened her eyes.
She suddenly sat up from the bed, grabbed Zhi Lan’s sleeves and said, "From who I heard, where did this news come from, is it credible?"
A while ago, Ling Hua had mentioned in the letter that South Yue was about to invade and attack North Qiang, at that time, she didn’t pay any attention to it.
"Eight hundred miles of urgent news. Empress, it’s true. Quickly think of a way!" As a member of the South Yue, Zhi Lan was naturally concerned about the safety of the South Yue.
How, how, how can I do anything!
At this moment, Hu Xiao’s mind was in a mess. The South Yue s were not a match for the North Qiang s, she was very clear on the strength of these two countries, which was why she was in such a hurry.
"Empress, find the emperor. The emperor will think of a way to help the South Yue." At this time, Zhi Lan’s brain was still a bit clearer. She placed both of her hands on Hu Xiao’s shoulders and anxiously said.
"Alright, find the emperor. He will help me." Hu Xiao regained her senses as she took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down.
However, the power of this explosive news was boundless. freewebnoveℓ.com
She could not wait and went to look for Qin Shuo, but was stopped halfway.
Yin Fufeng’s face was full of worry, obviously knowing about the news too, his body blocking in front of Hu Xiao, not allowing her to continue forward.
"Yin Fufeng, what are you doing? Go away quickly and don’t block me." Hu Xiao said coldly. Anxious, she pushed Yin Fufeng fiercely.
After hearing what Hu Xiao said, Yin Fufeng shook his head and changed the topic, "Empress, it is not appropriate for you to look for the Emperor at this time."
Yin Fufeng said with a straight face, as if he wanted to prove to Hu Xiao the seriousness of this matter.
At this time, Qin Shuo was in the middle of the imperial court, so if Hu Xiao suddenly barged in, he would definitely become everyone’s target, and at that time, in order to protect her, Qin Shuo might even fall out with the officials.
Moreover, the war between the two sides was a matter that concerned the safety of a country and not something Qin Shuo alone could decide.
"How is that inappropriate? Is my problem not a problem?" Hu Xiao’s eyes were wide opened as her face flushed red.
If South Yue was in trouble, shouldn’t East Court come forward to help?
"No, Empress, that is not what I meant. I wanted to say." At this time, the Emperor is currently in the imperial court, and all of the civil and military officials are present. Yin Fufeng explained. He tried to calm Hu Xiao down so that she could calm down.
Then, he said, "Empress, calm down first and we can discuss this matter. Think about it, before South Yue attacks the North Qiang, you must have already made preparations, so don’t be too worried."
Yin Fufeng was well aware of this point, so he did not try to reason with her.
She knew what Yin Fufeng was saying, but she couldn’t help but worry. What if the South Yue were to be destroyed in the north?
"Alright, I’m not going to look for him. I’ll wait for him at the North Gate. You can get out of my way now." Hu Xiao endured her anger and said that this was a matter of South Yue, she could not lose her temper at all.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Yin Fufeng moved to let her pass.
Qin Shuo rushed forward and met Hu Xiao at the north gate. Hu Xiao came with an aggressive momentum, his heart was startled, and she vaguely knew what Hu Xiao was here for.
Seeing Qin Shuo, Hu Xiao immediately came over. She looked at him and asked: "Qin Shuo, now that South Yue is at war with North Qiang, are you going to help?"
