Xia Chujian didn't care at all and said, "Then tell me the gossip you heard. Let me see the value of your achievements."
Quan Yuxun said, "You don't believe me?"
Xia Chujian said, "What does this have to do with belief? Okay, I believe that the Empress particularly favors you, and you are the Empress's favorite little wolfdog, okay?"
Quan Yuxun felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and was unknowingly led astray by Xia Chujian.
He said unhappily, "I am older than Your Majesty! How can I be a little wolfdog?"
Xia Chujian tutted his words, "You really don't know what's good for you. It sounds better when I call you a little wolfdog than an old one, right?"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"Since you want to know, I'll give you some basic knowledge, free of charge."
Xia Chujian: “…”
Talking to a lawyer is expensive.
Quan Yuxun knew what this little miser was thinking at a glance.
He raised the corners of his lips and said, "Based on common sense, there are two possible reasons for this."
"First, the Empress wants to leverage your influence to further consolidate her influence and support among the grassroots. This is crucial for her to stabilize the throne she just obtained."
"Second, she wants you to carry a sedan chair for others."
"Your popularity is at its peak right now. If she doesn't take full advantage of it, she will no longer be a member of the Tantai royal family."
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "What does it mean to carry a sedan chair for others? Does it mean literally, or does it have another meaning?"
Quan Yuxun said: "Simply put, it is to serve as a stepping stone for others to move up."
Xia Chujian understood and said with a displeased face, "Why? I have made such great contributions for her imperial rule. Why do you have to step on my face to elevate others?"
"Do you know who has such a big face?"
Quan Yuxun said, "I tried to inquire, but this time, His Majesty kept it a secret and I couldn't get any information at all."
"You must know that because Her Majesty ascended the throne so hastily and didn't even go through the stage of being a Crown Princess, she doesn't have many people available to her."
"So her secretariat is leaking like a sieve."
"But this time, no news leaked out, which is very unusual."
Xia Chujian: “…”
After a moment's silence, Quan Yuxun continued, "Your Majesty is making such a grand display this time. I'm afraid this sedan chair will be incredibly large. You should be mentally prepared."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She wondered, "At this kind of ceremony to award honors to meritorious officials, she even stepped on the meritorious official's face. What is this empress trying to achieve?"
"Isn't she going to fight the Zerg?"
"If she does this, who in the army will be willing to sincerely fight for her?"
Quan Yuxun said, "That's common sense, but what if the person she wants to praise is particularly powerful?"
"Can you still help her fight the Zerg?"
Xia Chujian said, "I can do it too! Which of our five major interstellar fleets can't do it?"
Quan Yuxun said, "What if that person is more powerful than all of you put together?"
Xia Chujian: “…”
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she asked tentatively, "...Could it be that, Huo Shuai, you've recovered?"
Of course she knew about Huo Yushen's situation, but she didn't know whether others knew about it, such as Quan Yuxun.
Sure enough, Quan Yuxun frowned slightly and said, "If it really is Marshal Huo, then even if His Majesty is stepping on you, you have to accept it."
"However, according to the information I received, Huo Shuai's condition has not improved."
"I heard that he has been taken to Mulan City on Guiyuan Star by his mother to live in seclusion."
Suddenly, he looked up at Xia Chujian and said, "Do you know where Huo Shuai and his mother are now?"
Xia Chujian looked puzzled and said, looking at Quan Yuxun on the virtual display, "How would I know?"
"Chief Quan, just because I was born in Mulan City, you can't assume that I know everything about Mulan City!"
"Also, don't you remember that my house was destroyed and has just been rebuilt?"
"I moved my family out and the house is empty. I've already entrusted it to my real estate agent to rent it out."
Xia Chujian cleverly left a trap here.
If Quan Yuxun ever found out that Huo Yushen and his mother were living in Xia Chujian's house, she could just shirk responsibility and say that the real estate agent had handled the paperwork and she was just collecting the money...
However, Xia Chujian didn't know if she could hide it from a cunning person like Quan Yuxun.
She was nervous in her heart, but she looked calm on the surface.
Quan Yuxun didn't think much about it.
He hadn't been to Mulan City on Guiyuan Star for a long time, so he didn't know the situation there.
He knew that Xia Chujian's family was destroyed because of his second uncle.
Later, the Xia family was rebuilt with money provided by my second uncle.
This was as he should have been. He did not intervene, but only instructed the steward of the Quan family's manor in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, to help the Xia family more.
Now he is facing pressure from the empress and is unable to take care of himself.
This was a first for the four great noble families.
Over the past ten thousand years, the Beichen royal family has only produced three empresses.
The first empress died of illness one year after she ascended the throne. The second empress was emperor for nearly sixty years, but she never got married in her life. As soon as she ascended the throne, she made her brother's son the crown prince.
The current empress, Tan Tai Zijun, is the third one.
She is still young, and there is no constraint from the royal family.
She is the only one, so she will definitely get married and have children so that there will be an heir to the throne.
