The current Hu Xiao was extremely strange in the first place, but the strange aura behind his words still made Wen Fuchen feel a rash sensation.
"Ah, Empress, what did you do to my cousin! Your Majesty! Empress asks you to detour to my cousin. "
Xue Mier, who had been forced to come here step by step, was somewhat late. However, when she saw the scene before her eyes, she couldn’t help but wish that she had not appeared.
"Heh, around your cousin? But when have you ever let me go? "
A light laugh sounded out but it casually stopped right at Qin Shuo’s heart, it even made Qin Shuo’s heart itch.
"Empress, yesterday’s matter was all done by you, why are you here to slander us and make things difficult for you?"
Even though she was taken away by Wei Shi yesterday, and even though she did not know what happened last night, it was certain that Hu Xiao and Mo Zhu would be together. Xue Mier did not believe that Qin Shuo was so generous that it would be able to take care of her own Empress and other men!
"Your Majesty, I’ll have to trouble you to condescend to explain to me whether or not your concubine is innocent to you."
Zhi Lan clenched her teeth, and there was even a hint that if it wasn’t for him pulling Hu Xiao along, it was very possible that Hu Xiao would have already pounced on him and bit down on him.
"We have already sent people to investigate yesterday’s farce, the reason why the Queen is staying with Mo Zhu is because we need to discuss how to run the school. The two of them have always been innocent, Mier, you are not allowed to spread rumors anymore."
No rumors were allowed to spread, and that ended it. Hu Xiao did not dare believe that after she killed one of them, the rest ended it just like that.
"Chenqie knows her wrongs, please forgive me, I have offended you yesterday, but the reason for all of this is because of chenqie. If Empress wants to vent her anger, please come and find chenqie, chenqie humbly requests that Empress let Chenqie biao-ge go."
If Hu Xiao did not know what she did just now, she would have been coaxed into a daze by Xue Mier. She had only acted because she saw that Hu Xiao had a bit of power, and it was clear that she did not have any big issues.
After not seeing Hu Xiao speak for a long time, even Qin Shuo’s face was a little unsightly.
"Hehe, esteemed imperial concubine, you’re overthinking things. Since Your Majesty has forgiven me in place of all of you, then I’ll forgive you. I don’t care either."
With that, he quickly left, and even Qin Shuo who was behind him did not bother to take another look.
When he saw Hu Xiao’s limping appearance, Qin Shuo did not have the slightest intention to joke around. All he had was a trace of guilt towards Hu Xiao, which seemed to exist within her heart.
Qin Shuo had never felt that there was anything wrong with his actions, but he felt that he could not say or do anything like that just now.
"Empress ..."
With that, Hu Xiao left after pausing for a while, as she was no longer worried about the matters behind him.
The people in the great hall were busy calling for the imperial physician and discussing the recent events, and only Qin Shuo felt a little hesitant.
Yesterday, he took advantage of the fact that Hu Xiao had been drugged and forcefully seized Hu Xiao, and now he thought that she shouldn’t be so impulsive. If Hu Xiao had been drugged, she could have gone to the imperial physician or whatever, but why was he unwilling?
Now that he thought about it, it was probably because he saw that Hu Xiao and Mo Zhu’s relationship was so close, and although she and Hu Xiao had a husband and wife relationship, it couldn’t be as real as being husband and wife.
This was already the third day that Hu Xiao closed her door and had no visitors. She originally thought that she could still explain what had happened that day to Hu Xiao, but Hu Xiao just didn’t pay attention to him.
Even the usually casual Zhao Qiyan had felt this kind of silence that hung in the air, because a long time had already passed since his return, and the schedule for his return to the capital had been lifted. Although Hu Xiao was not seeing guests, Zhi Lan still informed him about the situation outside every day.
On this day, Zhi Lan was hesitating on whether or not to give the thing in her hands to Hu Xiao. During her hesitation, Hu Xiao actually walked out for the first time.
"What are you holding in your hand? Did you give it to me?"
The expression on her face made Hu Xiao a little confused. Instinct, this was not a good thing for him.
"Empress, this is a letter sent by the Lord of the South Yue Kingdom."
It was a letter delivered by a different method and carried a different carrier. Hu Xiao found it funny, it was just a letter from South Yue, no matter how she looked at it, it looked like a torrent of beasts.
He accepted it without any hesitation. Even though he still had something on his mind, he felt a little uneasy after he finished reading it.
The recent developments of the South Yue were very good, the indistinct Hu Xiao was actually able to see a few people supporting him, she did not know if this was a good thing, but in the end, she was not like before, standing alone and without help in front of Wen Fuchen.
Hu Xiao naturally knew that most of this came from the South Yue, and since there was something going on with the South Yue, Hu Xiao naturally would not ignore it.
If there was nothing urgent, she would definitely not tell Hu Xiao to return to the South Yue.
"Empress, His Majesty has come. Would you like to let His Majesty in?"
Ever since that day, Hu Xiao’s so-called "not seeing anyone" was a person’s absence, and even the Emperor was no exception. But now, Hu Xiao actually had the time to get up from her bed, as she had thought it through in the future.
"Mm, the Emperor is here. Let him in."
To always hide like this was not a solution, which was to let Qin Shuo know about the matter of the South Yue.
When Qin Shuo heard this, he was slightly amused. He originally thought that today would be another day without any achievements, but he did not expect that Hu Xiao would actually start seeing people.
"The empress looks very good today, but did something happy happen?"
It had been a long time since Hu Xiao last smiled, and Qin Shuo kept feeling that it felt like a long time.
"Your Majesty, you’re overthinking it. Chenqie has always been like this."
She originally thought that she would not care about the current him, but seeing the person in front of him, Hu Xiao felt that she was in a difficult situation. She could not help but regret.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter that the South Yue has given to chenqie. Your chenqie wishes to return it. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to release the person?"
There was nothing shameful about the letter, but why did Qin Shuo’s face turn uglier and uglier? Hu Xiao looked at the surprise, without any doubt, he was looking at the same thing as the young man.
"The empress is the empress of my East Court. Returning home is an important matter and it is also very troublesome. Do you still want to go back? "
Could it be that something really happened with South Yue? Why did Qin Shuo have such an attitude? He was only making a trip back, why did he feel like he was courting death?
"Does Your Majesty know anything?"
Looking at the person in front of him, his thoughts couldn’t help but fly back to that day. This person didn’t believe him, and if it wasn’t for what happened afterwards, he wouldn’t have abandoned him and waited at the door.
"I don’t know."
There was a slight pause, but Qin Shuo could not help but say this with a cold voice.
From the looks of it, he did not know anything, but since this person did not want to say it out loud, Hu Xiao would not let herself be humiliated and start over again.
They casually chatted about some things like they did in the past, but Hu Xiao felt that she had missed out on something.
"Mingyue is about to leave for the capital. Empress, please take a break. We’ll set out tomorrow."
