Chapter 369 The news had already spread throughout the entire palace.
Xiao Tang sighed softly, speechless.
She muttered to herself, "You don't understand. I have a mission, so I need these three days."
Ruyi really didn't understand, and she really couldn't comprehend what she was hearing.
He tilted his head.
She didn't dare ask any more questions and left.
Xiao Tang gulped down another cup of tea, grumbling under his breath.
"Damn system, are you satisfied now?"
The little pink dumpling climbed out of my arms and nodded with a smile: "Host, you've been doing really well lately, you deserve praise and compliments."
Xiao Tang scoffed, "No way, I don't want to be praised by you."
"Host, we've been working together for so long, isn't it enough that we give each other a compliment?"
Having spent so much time with it, she's come to realize that this damn system is becoming increasingly worldly and sophisticated.
If this dog system were still as cold and indifferent as before, she could still find it normal.
Xiao Tang looked around the bedroom. Although it was somewhat different from the Regent's Palace, she thought that the three days should pass quickly!
But I never expected that these three days would be so long.
On her first night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Helpless, she could only close her eyes and count sheep in her mind.
Counting sheep made him more and more lucid.
So he started counting the imperial feathers again.
One Imperial Feather, two Imperial Feathers, three Imperial Feathers...
He silently recited it in his heart.
Xiao Tang finally felt sleepy.
A gentle night breeze swept by.
The person who was fast asleep had no idea that a dark figure had suddenly slipped into the bedroom.
The tall figure landed beside the bed and leaned down slightly.
His tall figure cast a shadow that blocked the moonlight, and it fell precisely on Xiao Tang's face.
Xiao Tang was completely unaware, only slightly frowning.
The man stared at her small face and let out a soft, cool hum.
Di Jingling never expected that his wife would sleep so soundly on the first day of their separation, while he was unable to sleep due to his longing for her, so he came to check on her.
His gaze locked on her slightly parted red lips, his eyes flickered, and then suddenly covered hers.
In that instant, only this close proximity made him feel as if his empty heart had been filled.
Xiao Tang frowned, and just as she was about to suffocate, she suddenly opened her eyes.
but……
There was no one in the house.
She touched the corner of her mouth.
It still hurts a little.
If the sensation hadn't been so clear, she would have really thought she was dreaming.
Did Di Jingling come here?
That familiar scent.
However, she quickly shook her head, ignoring this absurd idea.
The main villain said he wouldn't come, so that's definitely impossible.
Take another look at the little pink dumpling next to me.
This guy is fine, he's asleep... or rather, his phone is off.
It was like a stupid machine; no matter how much she poked it, it didn't react at all.
The next day.
Xiao Tang went to court.
After all, she had been so lazy, and recently the Empress Dowager had been keeping a close eye on her and was quite dissatisfied.
During the court session, she discovered that Emperor Jingling didn't even look at her.
During the conversation, the topic of the avalanche in Beixiao City came up.
The recent snowfall over the past few days has caused considerable disruption.
The weather is getting increasingly strange. From the initial continuous snowfall to the recent sudden warming, an avalanche has occurred in Beixiao City, a city that has been frozen for many years.
Beixiao City is located at the northernmost tip of the Great Sheng Kingdom, backed by continuous snow-capped mountains, and has always had an extreme climate.
Although the population there was small, it was still an important border region.
During this time, the ministers even argued heatedly over certain matters.
Suddenly, the young emperor's clear, childlike voice pierced through their argument, asking Xiao Tang, "What does the Imperial Advisor think should be done?"
When Xiao Tang's name was suddenly called, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Of course, even Di Jingling, who had been deliberately avoiding looking at her, suddenly stared at her.
As the regent, Di Jingling was sitting next to the young emperor.
At that moment, he was above her, and she was below him.
A glance fell, looking down from above, their eyes met.
Xiao Tang coughed lightly a few times: "Your Majesty, such matters should be decided by the Regent. Your subject... will not."
She simply shrugged and became the hands-off manager.
In any case, most of the ministers thought she simply couldn't do it.
Sure enough, the bad divination I had that day came true.
Disaster strikes in the Great Sheng Kingdom!
The book only mentions the avalanche briefly, as part of the timeline. After the avalanche, the male protagonist leads his troops to besiege the capital and force the emperor to abdicate.
The main villain died shortly after the avalanche...
The only thing Xiao Tang could think of right now was to stop Di Jingling from going to Beixiao City for disaster relief.
Given the Emperor and Empress Dowager's nature, they would definitely send Di Jingling to provide disaster relief first.
This regent is a true workaholic.
He went to war.
He went to the disaster relief efforts.
He was still in charge of suppressing the bandits.
No matter what it is, the regent has to take charge.
Shouldn't the imperial court be filled with talented individuals? Even if it's not full of talented individuals, shouldn't it recruit talented people without being bound by convention?
We should recruit more talented people; there will always be capable individuals to help. We can't let Di Jingling take the lead in everything.
In the book, during the time when Di Jingling was away on disaster relief after the avalanche, the male lead, who was a jerk, showed up.
Moreover, Beixiao City had laid a trap, waiting for the main villain to walk right into it.
Look, the Grand Preceptor has once again passed the problem to the Regent.
All the officials looked at Emperor Jingling.
Di Yanqing also opened his big, round eyes and looked at Di Jingling expectantly.
After all, he's still young and doesn't understand these things at all.
