After returning from Weishui, Qingliu started looking for her assistant in the workshop.
She had just chosen her person when Zhao Jun sent her a message asking her to prepare to leave the city with him.
What happened so fast?
At that time, Zhao Jun was assigning tasks to other people in the Neishi Mansion.
"In the next few months, Wang Taicang and I will be going to Hanzhong County to supervise this year's spring planting. We will be away from Xianyang for a while. The affairs of the Internal History Office will be handled by the remaining officials. If you are unsure about anything, please write to me."
Zhao Jun and the remaining commanders completed the basic tasks, and there was nothing else to do.
"Wang Taicang, how long does it take to get from Xianyang to Hanzhong?"
After receiving instructions, the others went to work, leaving only her and Wang Deng preparing to go to Hanzhong.
"It's not very far. It only takes two days to get there by carriage."
Two days isn't too far?
Zhao Jun thought about the bumpy carriage and its speed and suddenly understood.
Compared to places where it takes half a month to travel, two days is indeed very close.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go back to the palace and prepare. I'll probably be staying here for quite a while. We plan to leave in three days."
After Zhao Jun finished talking to Wang Deng, he returned to the palace and said hello to Qingliu.
Let her hand over the things at the workshop. I will definitely take her with me this time.
When Qingliu heard that she was going to guide the spring planting, she felt a little excited, because she had never been to such a far place.
Zhao Jun was also excited. This was the first time she had traveled far away since she came to Qin.
Zhao Jun packed up his things and thought for a moment before leaving, then said hello to Ying Zheng again.
She had sought Ying Zheng's opinion long before she decided to go.
After all, it is the first time to leave the palace, and I will have to stay outside the palace for several months.
Of course, this long-distance business trip must be approved by the leader.
Fortunately, Ying Zheng knew the importance of spring planting, so he did not interfere too much with her work and quickly agreed to her leaving the palace.
Now that he was leaving tomorrow, the Lord of Zhao decided it would be better to say hello to Ying Zheng.
"Master Zhao is here."
This time, Sun Cheng stopped her and said a few words to her.
"I heard that you are going to Hanzhong County. I won't be able to see you for the next few months."
Apparently Sun Cheng also got the news and said goodbye to Zhao Jun.
"Yes, I won't be able to see you for the next few months. When you come back, bring some gifts for Eunuch Sun. I'll go in first."
Zhao Jun smiled and chatted with Sun Cheng, then walked into the front hall with ease.
However, what she didn't expect was that there was more than just Ying Zheng in the palace.
Zhao Jun paused in his forward steps.
Why didn’t Sun Cheng tell her that there was someone in the hall?
In the hall, besides Ying Zheng sitting at the desk as usual, there was also a young lady.
Zhao Jun could only see her profile from behind. Her face was soft and thin, and she looked as if she was crying.
Judging from her dress, she doesn't look like a palace maid, so she must be Ying Zheng's wife.
"Uh, sorry, my king, I'll be out first then."
As soon as she came in, the two people who were talking just now looked up at her.
Zhao Jun quickly lowered his head, said something awkwardly, and wanted to leave.
"Wait."
Zhao Jun was almost retreating to the door when he was suddenly stopped.
Ying Zheng's low voice came.
She turned around reluctantly, still keeping her head down.
"You go to the side hall and wait first." Ying Zheng said.
Zhao Jun nodded and quickly walked out the door.
As soon as she came out, she saw Sun Cheng standing not far away, but he had his back to her and didn't see her.
Zhao Jun walked into a side hall and said secretly in his heart.
You are so good, Sun Cheng, for not reminding me that your gift is gone.
Zhao Jun sat on the mat in the side hall and took a deep breath.
This was the first time she met Ying Zheng’s wife, and she didn’t know who she was.
But since Ying Zheng had so many wives, it's normal that she doesn't know any of them.
Zhao Jun nodded, not knowing what to feel. She just felt that the weather today was really stuffy and she shouldn't have come at this time.
She had just let out a breath and had no time to take a few more breaths when suddenly a voice came from the other side.
"Your Majesty, we really can't let Fusu come back."
Zhao Jun slapped her head. How could she forget that the sound from the other side could be heard from this side hall.
Her heart, which had just calmed down, began to lift again. She carefully lowered the arm she was leaning on, and even her breathing became much lighter.
Fusu?
Zhao Jun turned his head.
Could this be Fusu’s biological mother, Lady Chu!
Since he had to listen anyway, Zhao Jun changed into a comfortable position and listened openly to the conversation.
"Why would I let him come back? I think he's doing well out there and gaining experience, so I won't let him come back."
Ying Zheng's low voice came, with a hint of vagueness.
"Your Majesty, how could this child be away from his mother for such a long time? He didn't even come to see me a few times during the New Year."
Mrs. Chu's soft voice came, and Zhao Jun got goose bumps even through the wall.
These words were too gentle. Zhao Jun thought about it and decided that she shouldn't talk like that anyway.
"Fusu is no longer a child. Don't try to keep him by your side anymore. This will only harm him."
"I'm warning you for the last time. Just live your own life well and don't get involved in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you won't end up well."
Ying Zheng said this without a trace of emotion.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Fusu is my son. How can I harm him? Besides, the Chu State is also in trouble."
