"Chu Yi, I'm suddenly a little worried."
Xiao Ling's face was serious. "Fu Xi's motives are definitely not simple. Everything she does seems to be designed to cause unrest. Whether it's what she did in Anguo or Qiguo, it's almost exactly the same!"
"Well, it seems like it's a good idea to keep an eye on things related to Fu Xi."
All these things combined together made even Chu Yi alert.
"However, with her methods, it would be easy for her to do anything to us if she wanted to. Therefore, I still suspect that although her goal is to muddy the waters, she is clearly hesitant and dares not act rashly."
"That's true." Xiao Ling agreed.
However, when she thought about what Fu Xi had done, her worries reached their limit.
"The Tianwei side needs to intensify its investigation into Qi. I always feel uneasy. Perhaps after this incident, Fu Xi will appear in other places and stir up trouble."
"Yes, Your Majesty. I understand." Mu Ci responded.
The few of them didn't discuss Fu Xi's affairs too much, not because they didn't care about her, but mainly because even Xiao Ling himself knew very little about Fu Xi.
From the beginning to the end, she had no idea of Fu Xi's purpose.
After putting it aside for the time being, Mu Ci quickly left the Zi Chen Palace.
Xiao Ling turned around to look at Chu Yi's expression, and finally couldn't help asking, "Chu Yi, do you want to take advantage of the rebellion in Qi to get involved?"
"Oh? Your Majesty noticed it."
"Of course," Xiao Ling said confidently, "I've been with you for so long, I know exactly what you're thinking, even without having to say it out loud."
"Haha, I do have this intention."
Seeing this, Chu Yi confessed his inner thoughts: "At present, it seems that the combat capabilities of the Yan army and the Jing camp are still sufficient to deal with Qi. If the rebellion in Qi is serious, we don't seize the opportunity to bite off a piece of meat, and then others will think that we, the An Kingdom, are easy to bully."
"That's what you said...but...are you really sure?"
Chu Yi followed suit and shook his head. "I don't understand these military strategies, so this depends on General Shi's attitude. If they think it's acceptable, then there's no problem."
"That's feasible. I am now very confident in General Shi and the Yan army." Xiao Ling's mood also improved a lot.
Putting aside other things, the sudden civil unrest in Qi must be good news for An Guo.
"General Shi's current attitude is thoughtful, but he has been keeping an eye on the movements in Qi's Shengjing City. I will issue an edict at the time. If there are major changes in Qi in the future, General Shi and his men will be allowed to act at their discretion."
Faced with the current situation, the two quickly reached a consensus on their attitude towards Qi.
For the past few months, Chu Yi had been handling most of the affairs in the court. Xiao Ling had no objections to his victory.
In less than a moment, seeing that Chu Yi had put his mind back on government affairs, she thought for a while, and suddenly moved closer carefully.
Noticing the little empress's actions, Chu Yi put down the memorial in his hand and then placed her arm in front of him. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ling lowered his head and thought for a moment, then whispered, "I...have an unwelcome request."
"Well, tell me, what do you want?" Chu Yi observed her expression carefully, and seemed to understand after a closer look.
“It’s not a big deal, but it’s a bit troublesome.”
Xiao Ling said, "I feel like I'm going crazy staying in the palace for the past six months. After the baby is born, I want to go out for a walk."
Hearing this, Chu Yi nodded in approval.
Anguo is so big, it’s not a big deal for the empress to go out for a walk.
After all, during this year, not only the empress, but even he, the prime minister, had developed problems from staying in the palace.
Sometimes it's not a bad thing to go out for a walk.
Of course, when they said they were going out, they were going incognito. Neither the imperial court nor the people could afford to make a grand display.
The only thing he was worried about was safety, but with the double protection of Tianwei and Xu Zizhuo, Chu Yi was not worried about that.
"Regarding this matter, I don't have any opinion..."
After a brief thought, Chu Yi smiled and agreed, "Speaking of which, I'm also tired of staying in the capital, and this is a good opportunity to go out for a walk."
"After the Lunar New Year, if everything is ready, we can make some arrangements. It's a good opportunity to check out the tax reforms in various places."
Xiao Ling was surprised that Chu Yi agreed to his request so easily.
But soon, she suddenly remembered that Chu Zei was not a decent person and she felt relieved.
If this happened to someone else, she, the emperor, would have no chance of getting out. After all, she was pregnant with a daughter, and the position of crown prince had not yet been decided.
If we follow the thinking of those civil servants, they will definitely say that the country is still unstable, so Your Majesty should just stay in the palace and be a good villain.
But Chu Zei is different. He must be thinking about making himself happy first.
As for accompanying me for a walk, most of the time I am brought here later.
Xiao Ling thought so in her heart, but she was very happy to see Chu Yi make direct and simple arrangements.
"Then it's a deal. After the New Year, when we've dealt with the affairs of the court, we, the king and his subjects, will go out and have some fun. As for Yinyin... shall we take her along?"
Speaking of this, Chu Yi was stunned for a moment.
But after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"This is indeed a problem, but it would be better to take Yinyin with you. After all, I am worried about leaving the child alone in the palace. I am mainly worried that the bumpy journey after giving birth will be bad for Your Majesty's health..."
Xiao Ling fell silent for a moment.
Chu Yi was also worried. Traveling would require riding in a carriage. If his body had not recovered by then, it would be difficult to take care of the child at the same time.
During the silence between the two, Chu Yi reached out and touched her belly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Let's make some arrangements for now. At worst, we can wait until Your Majesty is fully recovered and then we can set off. The journey might be delayed, so we can just take it slow. There's no need to rush or run all over the place. Just find a destination and that's it."
After hearing Chu Yi's plan to take both into account, Xiao Ling, who had been quite anxious about his own ideas, suddenly smiled.
"That's a good idea. Let's do it this way."
After laughing, she suddenly hesitated as she thought of something and leaned on Chu Yi's shoulder.
"Isn't it a bit irresponsible of me to rush around like this? Can matters at court be arranged after we leave?"
"How could that be?" Chu Yi said without any worry. "If everything can only work if I and Your Majesty are in the court, then what's the point of having other officials in the court?"
"Then... do you have any good plans?"
"I think the Shangshu is quite suitable. The cabinet will then select two elders."
Chu Yi's words were very decisive. It was originally just a matter on the agenda, but he directly handed it to the Minister of Revenue who was already extremely busy, which became a heavy burden.
This hands-off boss did not hesitate at all.
Hearing Chu Yi's answer, Xiao Ling chuckled.
"Chu thief, you are as scoundrel as ever..."
