"Alright, then I’ll be going now. You have to be careful later. Don’t let them catch you alone." Hu Xiao said cautiously. Under Lu Yin’s watchful eyes, she left on another path.
Her figure gradually moved further and further away, and only after she had completely disappeared from his sight, did Lu Yin finally get up and leave.
But at the entrance of the slums, Hu Xiao met three familiar figures. It was originally these three simple and crude people, not only did they not have any skills, they even dared to follow him, and now they were blocked!
"Go away, go away, this is not the place for you to come from." At the entrance to the slums, Qin Shuo and the other two were stopped.
"Heh, what you’re saying is strange. Why can’t we come? Isn’t this your home?" Zhao Qiyan crossed his arms and said impulsively.
The slums were not the exclusive domain of the poor, how could these people chase them away!
What’s more, didn’t Lu Yin and the Queen just go in? Why can’t I and the Emperor go in when they can?
This was the first time he had encountered such an unfair treatment. Moreover, the Emperor was still here. Wasn’t he deliberately courting death by blocking the Emperor’s way in the Emperor’s territory?!
"Why are you blabbering so much? If I say no, then no. I can tell you guys don’t live here. You must be from a rich family. What, do you have a purpose in coming here?" The old man’s eyes were filled with vigor as he stared at Qin Shuo and the other two.
Hearing that, Zhao Qiyan was immediately angered, he bit his lower lip and said rudely: "Don’t mind our motive, hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise don’t blame us for being impolite."
As soon as he said that, the people around the old man picked up their sticks and surrounded the three of them.
Seeing that, Yin Fufeng knew that something was wrong. Even though the three of them had powerful martial arts, they were outnumbered.
It was all Mrs. Zhao Qiyan’s fault for being reckless.
He gently pulled on Zhao Qiyan’s sleeves and smiled apologetically: "Everyone, I am truly sorry. My friend here has a bad temper, please forgive me."
As a stately Prime Minister, he did not want to provoke conflict between the government and the people.
"Then get out of here, don’t be an eyesore." This time, they were not as courteous as they were before. Instead, they directly pushed them out of the hall.
Yin Fufeng was helpless, he kept retreating, and when he turned back and saw Qin Shuo’s gloomy face, he stuck out his tongue in fright.
Who would have thought this would happen so unexpectedly!
Hu Xiao who was watching from the side laughed out loud, almost clapping her hands together in applause.
In less than half an hour, she had returned to the Imperial Palace. Seeing her panting, Zhi Lan was extremely worried.
"Empress, my little ancestor, what sort of evil deed have you done now?" Zhi Lan closed the door and asked nervously.
Every time Hu Xiao returned in a hurry, she was always worried that she had committed a crime.
Hu Xiao poured tea for herself, she drank it all with her teacup, and after a while she replied: "What nonsense are you saying, you followed me for so long, when have you seen me do naughty things!"
Hu Xiao said shamelessly as she stared at Zhi Lan. She then said: "Alright, don’t think too much, I’m fine, but I haven’t eaten for almost a day, it’s true that I want to eat hotpot."
Hu Xiao touched her stomach, and said seriously. She wanted to eat right after coming back, a classic foodie.
"Let’s have a good dinner tonight. Hurry up and prepare, little sister." Hu Xiao pushed Zhi Lan outside the door. She had not eaten for more than half a month, he was really greedy for her.
After Zhao Qiyan returned to the palace, Qin Shuo immediately assigned him a mission, asking him to come over and see if Hu Xiao had returned yet.
Zhao Qiyan did not dare to reject, and immediately came over, but right at the entrance of Hu Xiao’s Bedchamber, he was stopped by the palace maid.
"General Zhao, Big Sister Zhi Lan already said that you are blacklisted, she won’t let you in." palace maid extended her arm and stopped Zhao Qiyan.
Hearing that, Zhao Qiyan’s footsteps paused, what did it mean to be blacklisted, what nonsense was Zhi Lan saying?
Zhao Qiyan rolled his eyes and said amiably: "Heh, don’t listen to her, quickly let me in. I’m here to look for Empress, not her."
Indeed, he was here to look for the Empress, but it was fine for Zhi Lan to take a look as long as she was here.
"No no, General Zhao, Big Sister Zhi Lan already said that no matter what the reason is, you cannot be allowed to enter." palace maid shook her head. Her attitude was extremely firm and did not allow Zhao Qiyan to enter.
This time, Zhao Qiyan had no other choice, what kind of thing was this!
Zhi Lan was too excessive, to actually put him on the black list.
However, he didn’t dare to not complete the Emperor’s mission. Thus, he loudly shouted, "Empress, are you inside?"
Zhi Lan did not allow him to enter, which was not a problem, as long as Empress allowed him to enter.
He understood Hu Xiao, until Hu Xiao wouldn’t shut the door on someone for no reason. This wasn’t her style.
He shouted loudly. He neither beat him nor barged in, the palace maid had no choice but to follow him.
"Zhi Lan, have a listen. Is there any sound coming from outside?" Closing the door, Hu Xiao did not hear Zhao Qiyan’s words clearly.
In her ears, she could only hear the noise.
"Empress, this servant will go out to take a look." Zhi Lan quickly put down the spoon in her hand and rushed out.
Hu Xiao could not tell, but she could, thinking whether Zhao Qiyan was crazy, why was he shouting outside the door!
"Are you done shouting?" When Zhi Lan came out, she frowned and said, feeling extremely unhappy.
She had never seen someone as thick-skinned as Zhao Qiyan who wouldn’t even let him stay here, and he even shamelessly stayed back.
"Zhi Lan, you’re finally out. I’ve been waiting for you." Seeing Zhi Lan’s figure, Zhao Qiyan was extremely excited.
He was just about to pull Zhi Lan’s hand, but was dodged by Zhi Lan, causing a trace of disappointment to flash past his heart.
"Zhao Qiyan, what are you doing? I’m warning you, you better hurry up and get here. Zhi Lan bit her lips and said fiercely.
Her eyes were filled with a cold intent, she was extremely cold, and almost drove Zhao Qiyan away.
Hearing this, Zhao Qiyan unhappily muttered: "Zhi Lan, look at what you’re saying. Are you happy to see me in a coma?
Although their voices were soft, it was enough for everyone present to hear them loud and clear. The palace maid s wanted to laugh, but they did not dare.
They thought to themselves, the General Zhao is too funny, I’ve never heard of a man leaning on a woman.
Zhi Lan’s gaze swept in all directions before she clenched her fists and spoke word by word: "Zhao Qiyan, if you say this again, I will tear your mouth apart."
"How would I dare? I won’t say it next time, Zhi Lan, my beautiful miss, my gentle lady, will you let me in?" Zhao Qiyan’s attitude was sincere, he almost crawled at Zhi Lan’s feet.
