"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day. You are too willful." Cao Dongsheng advised.
Zhao Huan said angrily, "Get lost! I just left the palace incognito, and I'm not dead. How can you say I'm without a king for a day? You're such a badass! You've made me lose my battle! I'll leave tomorrow."
Cao Dongsheng knelt hurriedly: "This servant deserves to die."
"Come on, come on, Cao Dongsheng, why are you acting like a bitch? I don't blame you. Call Linghu Yunlong and leave the palace tomorrow."
Cao Dongsheng wiped the sweat off his face. He no longer dared to joke with Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, should we bring Hua Tuo with us?"
"Well, take him with him." Zhao Huan thought about it. Jeju City was almost destroyed last time. It would be a good idea to bring Sai Hua Tuo with him.
"Well, Your Majesty, do you want me to inform Empress Nangong as well?" Cao Dongsheng asked again.
"No!" Zhao Huan shouted, "This must be kept secret from her. It must be kept top secret. She must not be allowed to follow us!"
Zhao Huan actually had his own plan: to leave the palace incognito, perhaps he could encounter some romantic encounters. Bringing Nangong Lian'er with him was a good idea; if a woman got jealous, it would be disastrous.
Not many people in the palace knew that Zhao Huan had left the palace in disguise, and the only one who knew about it was the queen.
However, he underestimated women. As the saying goes, the devil is one foot high, but the way is ten feet high. Zhu Lian summoned Nangong Lian'er to Renming Hall.
"Lian'er, do you feel you are used to life in the palace?" Zhu Lian asked with concern.
Nangong Lian'er smiled happily and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Lian'er is doing well."
"Well, you'll get used to it. But after staying in the palace for a long time, I'm afraid it will be a bit boring." Zhu Lian asked.
Nangong Lian'er pursed her lips and said, "It's more than just boring. I'm almost sick from holding it in. The palace is big, but there are too many rules and there are no fun things."
Zhu Lian smiled and said, "I heard that His Majesty is going out of the palace."
Nangong Lian'er's eyes sparkled: "Really? Where is your Majesty going?"
"Your Majesty wishes to leave the palace incognito and make private visits to various places."
"Really?" Nangong Lian'er clapped her hands excitedly and shouted: "Great, I want to go."
"But His Majesty doesn't want you to go." Zhu Lian whispered.
"Why?" Nangong Lian'er stared with a pair of blinking eyes: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go?"
Zhu Lian shook her head: "I don't know either, but there are so many beauties in the world. His Majesty doesn't want to take you with him, I'm afraid he has other things in mind..."
A smart woman wouldn't finish her words. Sure enough, Nangong Lian'er frowned slightly: "Hmph, I don't care, I'm going." She looked at Zhu Lian and held his hand and said coquettishly: "Empress, please tell His Majesty to take me with you."
Zhu Lian smiled slightly and said, "I have begged for you, but His Majesty refused to agree. However, you can follow him secretly."
Nangong Lian'er was overjoyed, but then her expression darkened: "What if His Majesty sends me back?"
"Cry."
"What?"
Zhu Lian laughed and said, "Crying is the most powerful thing a woman can do. First, cry, second, make a scene, and third, hang herself. If you catch up with His Majesty and he wants to send you back to the palace, then cry, cry as hard as you can. Once His Majesty sees you crying, he will definitely agree to your request."
Nangong Lian'er bowed deeply: "Thank you, Queen!"
Zhu Lian warned, "Remember, don't let His Majesty know that I told you. Just say that it was Cao Dongsheng who told you."
"Him? Why? Will Cao Dongsheng agree?" Nangong Lian'er asked curiously.
Zhu Lian suppressed her laughter and said, "You are the Queen. Even if Cao Dongsheng is wronged, would he dare to argue with you?"
Nangong Lian'er laughed: "Your Majesty, you are so amazing."
Zhao Huan gave instructions on internal affairs and left the capital with Cao Dongsheng and Linghu Yunlong.
Yingchang Prefecture.
It’s not far from the capital, and it’s quite prosperous.
"Youwei, let's go for a walk in the city."
Zhao Huan, dressed like a young man from a wealthy family, held a folding fan in his hand. Cao Dongsheng, dressed as the housekeeper, and Linghu Yunlong, dressed as the attendant, walked into Yingchang City with great fanfare.
"Tofu pudding, the best tofu pudding!" a vendor shouted.
"Let's go and finish our tofu pudding." Zhao Huan called to the two of them.
No matter what era, having money makes you the boss. Zhao Huan threw a piece of silver on the table and said, "Three bowls of tofu pudding, no need to change."
The merchant was surprised and delighted, thinking that the God of Wealth had come. This ingot of silver was enough for him to earn for a month, so how could he not be happy?
"Hey, sir, wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Soon the vendor personally brought over three bowls of tofu pudding and gave them to Zhao Huan and the other two.
"Boss, I want to ask you something. What do you think of the governor of Yingchang Prefecture?" Zhao Huan asked.
The vendor shook his head: "What else can I do? All officials in the world are the same."
"Are you saying this is a corrupt official?" Zhao Huan became interested.
"That's not the case," the vendor said, placing the tofu pudding in front of the three men. "It's just that the prefect is a bit timid."
The vendor was about to leave when Zhao Huan grabbed him and said, "Tell me, why is this prefect so cowardly?"
Perhaps Zhao Huan's gift was too generous, and the merchant felt embarrassed. So he moved a stool over and sat down, gesturing: "You are from out of town, right?"
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "We will attack the capital."
The merchant looked him up and down. There were so many wealthy young men in the capital, so he didn't suspect anything. He continued, "Something happened last month in Pang County, under Yingchang Prefecture."
Zhao Huan, Cao Dongsheng and Linghu Yunlong looked at each other and were overjoyed. He was eager to see some injustice happen so that he could meddle in other people's business.
The vendor became more and more excited as he spoke: "It is said that there is a Shen Jiaoniang in Pang County. Wow, this Shen Jiaoniang is so beautiful."
