"I have you in my heart too, and I love you!
But Ayun, my identity is a bit sensitive at the moment. My sudden becoming of a royal concubine has undoubtedly blocked the way for many people, and many people are dissatisfied with me.
There will be a lot of gossip in places where we can't hear it. If I suddenly become the queen again, I'm worried that something bad will happen.
Now that the Zhao family's affairs have finally come to an end, we have more important things to worry about. Can we put the Queen's matter aside for now?
I can just live in the palace near Kunning Palace, so that I won’t give others anything to talk about.”
Ying Xixi explained patiently.
She knew that Xiao Xieyun knew these things better than her, and the reason why Xiao Xieyun asked even though he knew the answer was just because he wanted to feel safe.
Then she would give him a sense of security and let him know that he was in her heart.
"So you have me in your heart, right?"
Xiao Xieyun asked this question stubbornly.
"Yes, I have you in my heart, so Your Majesty, do you agree with what I say?"
Ying Xixi blinked and looked at him.
Xiao Xieyun curled his lips, "I can only agree. Let's go and see the palace you want."
The two walked to the palace near Kunning Palace.
This palace has no name, so Xiao Xieyun left the naming task to Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi knew that she was bad at naming, so she returned the difficult task of naming to Xiao Xieyun.
In the end, Xiao Xieyun simply decided on the name of this palace - Xiyue Palace.
Xiyue Palace was fully equipped with tables, chairs, and other furniture, but they were all covered with a thick layer of dust.
There is a small courtyard behind Xiyue Palace, with two plots of weeds in the courtyard.
Ying Xixi thought that if she lived in this palace permanently in the future, she could grow some vegetables on these two pieces of land.
If Xiao Xieyun allowed, she would also like to raise a few chickens, ducks and geese here and live a pastoral life in advance.
Ying Xixi and Xiao Xieyun walked around Xiyue Palace and then left, planning to wait until the palace maids had cleaned up before coming back to see if they wanted to buy anything.
The next afternoon, Ying Xixi moved into Xiyue Palace.
She didn't have much luggage to begin with, and everything she used now was bought for her by Xiao Xieyun.
The things she used before are still in the Zhao Mansion, so it doesn’t matter whether she wants them or not.
However, the dowry belongs to the general's mansion, so she has to find an opportunity to get it back.
As she was thinking this, after a while, Yueya came into the inner hall carrying a big bag.
"Your Majesty, this bundle is what His Majesty sent to the Zhao Mansion to pack for you. In addition to the bundle, your dowry was also brought here.
Your Majesty, please see if there is anything left unpacked. I will ask someone to get it."
Ying Xixi was quite surprised. "Okay, let me take a look."
Yueya put down her bag and went to the outer hall to move the other things in one after another.
The original owner was the only daughter of a general. The dowry she brought with her when she married Zhao Linjian could be said to be the most valuable asset in the entire general's mansion.
The general gave her almost all the good things in his house.
After marrying into the Zhao family, Zhao's mother had thought about the original owner's dowry.
But the original owner was strong enough to keep her dowry and prevent Zhao's mother from succeeding.
What Yueya moved in now was almost everything that the original owner had in the Zhao family.
Ying Xixi recalled the original owner's memory and counted the things one by one.
"Yueya, everything is here. It's very complete."
Yueya breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Madam. Just tell me how to pack the things, and I'll do it."
Ying Xixi didn't refuse. After a brief explanation, Yueya quickly began to pick up the things scattered on the ground.
Ying Xixi looked at the sunlight outside the window and suddenly thought of Xiao Xieyun.
Last night, the two of them had a heart-to-heart talk.
What Xiao Xieyun is busy doing now is to clean up the spies in the court.
It is not an easy task to identify and eliminate spies.
After they made the agreement last night, Xiao Xieyun got up before dawn this morning to attend court and has not shown up until now.
She also wanted to help Xiao Xieyun, but she didn't know where to start.
........
Xiao Xieyun's efficiency was much faster than Ying Xixi had imagined.
Within just six or seven days, five officials in the court had been thrown into prison.
Xiao Xieyun did not disclose the reasons why these five officials were detained. To others, it seemed like the tyrant was suddenly looking for trouble.
For a time, everyone in the court was in danger, fearing that they would accidentally offend the tyrant and be thrown into prison by the tyrant.
Normally, things that happened in the palace, especially things like officials being detained, would rarely be reported outside the palace.
But no sooner had the five officials been thrown into prison than the news of this incident began to spread throughout the capital.
In the hall of the busiest teahouse in the capital.
"Hey, did you hear? Five gentlemen in the palace have been thrown into prison!"
"What? Is this true? Who are these five gentlemen? What crime did they commit that landed them in jail?"
"Oh, what crime did they commit? Those five gentlemen didn't do anything wrong at all! They were thrown into jail by that person for no apparent reason!"
The man in black robe who spoke looked indignant.
His words shocked the people who gathered around.
"Is this true? Even if that person is so foolish, he wouldn't let an innocent person go to jail, right?"
"Yes, that's irrational. If an official is sent to jail even though he hasn't committed any crime, it could be because of a personal vendetta.
