Jiang Daqiang turned his head and noticed Deng Yushan's expression, then he sat back down and bowed to Old Madam Shen.
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I was too emotional..."
"It's okay~" Old Madam Shen waved her hand.
Who sitting here is not anxious? Zhang Wenyuan and Sun Ren have a lot of questions to ask, and they keep pursing their lips anxiously, wishing they could get into Ji Guangda's mind and read everything they want to know.
Ji Guangda smiled and looked at Old Madam Shen.
"I have not heard the emperor talk about the affairs of the capital."
When everyone heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.
"But..." Ji Guangda glanced at everyone and slowly opened his mouth.
These two words immediately made everyone's heart hang in the air. Jiang Daqiang was so anxious that he wanted to pry open Ji Guangda's mouth and make him speak quickly.
It turns out that the capital is not a good place. Ji Guangda, who used to speak very straightforwardly, has become roundabout in his speech after returning from a trip to the capital. It's really frustrating.
"But what about it!?" Deng Yushan couldn't help but ask.
Ji Guangda smiled and continued,
"The Emperor intends to attack the Fire Phoenix Kingdom and conquer it. Then, Qianhuang City, which is located between the two countries, may..."
When Deng Yushan and the others heard this, their gloomy eyes suddenly brightened up.
They said that the emperor had taken great pains to expand Qianhuang City to such a large size and built it so well, there was no reason for him to just abandon it.
Deng Yushan's eyes rolled around, thinking that the Qianhuang Palace was still a little small if it was to be used as the imperial palace in the future. He had to plan it carefully and try to make it like an imperial palace.
It just so happened that there were still a lot of materials left from the previous construction of the city wall, and there were also a lot of materials at the construction workshop, so there would probably be a lot left.
If he saves up all the money, he should be able to double the size of the palace.
Ji Guangda didn't say it with certainty. He changed the subject and looked at Mrs. Shen.
"Your Majesty the Queen, I have been ordered to come and take you and the Princess to the capital."
"Firstly, the emperor wants to celebrate the New Year with his family."
"Secondly, the deposed emperor is still imprisoned in the imperial prison. The emperor said that the matter of judging the deposed emperor should be handed over to the empress dowager and the princesses."
Madam Shen was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly red, and she sneered,
"Xuanyuan Xi is still alive, so I really need to go back and ask him about it."
Ask him why he can't tolerate the loyal sons of the Shen family.
Ask him if he has any intention and why he wants to exterminate the Shen family.
Ask him how it feels to be a prisoner...
She also wanted Xuanyuan Xi to kneel in the Shen family ancestral hall and kowtow to the loyal martyrs of the Shen family who died fighting for the Great Celestial Empire.
Ji Guangda quickly bowed and said, "The Emperor is still waiting for the Empress Dowager to come back and have the New Year's Eve dinner together."
"Why not set off now? It will only take a quarter of an hour to get from Qianhuang City to Bailong City. After picking up the princess, we can reach the capital this afternoon."
Ji Guangda was very anxious. He was the first one to set out and he couldn't be the last one to go back.
Calculating the time, if he sets out now, he might be the first to return.
He is now very familiar with the route, which can save him a lot of time.
Niu Yangfei set out an hour later than him, and probably hadn't reached Fanjing City yet.
Moreover, the parking space in Fanjing City is not as convenient as that in Qianhuang City, so Niu Yangfei still has a long way to go.
This is good. When he picks up the princess from Bailong City and goes back, he might run into Niu Yangfei.
Madam Shen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, let's go."
As long as the deposed emperor is not dealt with, the capital will not be at peace. She has to go to the capital quickly to prevent anyone from breaking into the prison.
Ji Guangda's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly, "Yes!"
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor asked you to bring Miss Meixiang with you as well. He is a little worried about the people in the palace using her."
The servants in the palace are all former employees, so who knows if there are any spies among them.
Miss Meixiang is a martial arts expert, and the Emperor can feel more at ease with her accompanying the Empress Dowager.
If he were to say so, all the servants in the palace should be replaced.
But Minister Jiang said, who can guarantee that there will be no problem with the new servants.
He was speechless after hearing this, as if it was indeed the case.
New servants are unfamiliar with the affairs of the palace and are more likely to cause trouble.
Especially for such a big event as the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the old people in the Imperial Household Department are naturally more skilled in doing it.
This is indeed the case. Emperor Qianhuang's coronation ceremony went smoothly. No one would dare to cause trouble at this critical moment.
Madam Shen nodded and glanced at Meixiang beside her, "Meixiang, please come with me."
"Yes!" Meixiang smiled and bowed, "I'll go pack my things right away."
"Go ahead!" Madam Shen nodded, "Just bring two sets of clothes."
She wouldn't have the chance to wear her current clothes if she took them to the palace, so she could just take some underwear with her.
The Empress Dowager's clothes were all custom-made by the Imperial Household Department, so she had to follow the rules to maintain her dignity.
"Yes!" Meixiang responded, quickly left the hall, and went straight to the old lady's palace to pack her luggage.
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Meixiang with envy as she left, pursed his lips, looked at Ji Guangda, and asked anxiously,
"Your Excellency, what about us? Did the Emperor allow us to go back with him?"
Sun Ren looked at Ji Guangda with longing, "Yeah, what about us!?"
Just as Ji Guangda was looking at them in some embarrassment, heavy footsteps were heard outside the courtyard.
"Ha ha ha ha....."
Zhang Tiezhu's silly laughter came from the courtyard.
"Madam, the prince has ascended the throne!!!"
Zhang Tiezhu rushed into the living room panting excitedly.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the maids and servants in the mansion talking about King Qianhuang ascending the throne and becoming emperor.
This made him so excited that he immediately ran to tell Mrs. Shen.
Their good days are coming, how can they not be excited!
“Huh!?”
Zhang Tiezhu was surprised to see Ji Guangda standing in the middle of the living room.
"Master Guard, why are you here?"
Ji Guangda looked at Zhang Tiezhu, who had eye mucus in the corner of his eye and a silly look on his face, and the corner of his mouth twitched twice.
"You didn't wash your face?!"
Zhang Tiezhu was stunned for a moment, grinning innocently, "No... I didn't have time."
“Old lady!!!”
Zhang Tiezhu turned his gaze to Madam Shen and shouted excitedly,
"The prince has ascended the throne and become emperor!!!"
The sound, like beating drums, made everyone's heads buzz.
Ji Guangda looked at the silly Zhang Tiezhu speechlessly.
"Keep your voice down and address her as the Empress Dowager."
"...Oh, yes, yes!" Zhang Tiezhu nodded repeatedly, baring his teeth as he looked at Old Madam Shen.
"Your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. Her Majesty the Queen Mother is very pleased..."
As Zhang Tiezhu spoke, he knelt down with a thud, and Kuku kowtowed three times.
