Chapter 2306 [Shangxie] Is the snow on Taixu Mountain also so heavy?
At the same time that Xia Fuyi walked into the wind and snow, in the Chiwei Palace far away from the border town, guards in cloaks hurriedly walked up the long steps in the snow with a pile of memorials in their hands and knocked on the door of the Zichen Palace.
He pushed the door open and walked straight to the desk by the window, presenting all the documents in his hand.
"This is an urgent report from Yan Gui, saying that the military pay is insufficient. There's also a letter from the Lord of Xiushui... no, the Lord of Xiushui City. Please be sure to read it. And this..."
After a long and urgent report, Qingze still did not receive any response.
He stopped involuntarily and looked up.
The man sitting behind the desk, wearing a black robe, was turning his head to look at the heavy snow falling outside the window.
His profile was so handsome in the dim light that it seemed extraordinary. His amber eyes reflected the vast palace covered in silver. His expression was focused and slightly dazed. It seemed that he didn't hear a word he said.
Qingze suddenly fell silent, and after a while he dared to cautiously call out,
"His Majesty."
The man tilted his head slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on the window. After a moment, he spoke and called out Qingze.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
But he didn't speak immediately.
Those eyes were focused on the heavy snow outside the window. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and slowly asked,
"Do you think the snow on Mount Taixu is as heavy as in the capital?"
Qingze was not surprised by this question at all.
He was silent for a moment, then he said slowly,
"The letter from the Lord of Xiushui City is asking Your Majesty to help resolve their snowstorm problem. It's said that every winter in Xiushui City, heavy snow falls for more than ten days. Taixu Mountain is close to Xiushui, and according to reports from previous years, after this winter, I'm afraid the entire mountain will be covered in snow."
The emperor frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice,
"So, do you think she would know to come down the mountain to avoid the cold?"
Qingze lowered his head and answered softly,
"According to what Lian Tang said, Miss Xia seems to have lived on Mount Taixu for five years and never came down. This year, she must have spent the winter on the mountain as well."
This time the emperor remained silent for a longer time.
He stretched out his hand, his fingertips out of the window, and caught a bit of white snowflakes. The white quickly melted into a bone-chilling coolness that penetrated his skin and went straight into his blood.
"You're right. She's so slow-witted, how could she have thought of going down the mountain to avoid the cold? Fortunately, she has strong internal energy, so she shouldn't get sick from the cold."
He withdrew his hand calmly and looked down at the document on the table.
Qingze stood there with his head down for a moment, then suddenly bent his knees and knelt down.
The emperor didn't even look at him and said calmly,
"What are you doing?"
"His Majesty."
Qingze bent down, his forehead almost touching the ground.
"Now that the domestic government is back on track, internal and external troubles have been initially resolved. The ministers you promoted have also worked hard for the country and the people. Even if you disappear for a while, nothing will go wrong with us watching over you."
The emperor's eyebrows remained motionless.
"so what?"
Qingze gritted his teeth and continued,
"Why don't you go out of the palace and relax? Go to the warmer south. When you pass by the Chiwei border, you can even go see Miss Xia. She lives alone in the deserted mountains. I'm afraid she has trouble even getting food."
Chang Sun Chi looked at the memorials with his eyelids drooped, but he didn't turn over a single page for a long time.
Just when Qingze thought he would not answer again, he finally heard a response from above.
"No."
