Empress Dowager Li and Ma Dong stood still and talked for an hour.

No one knows what they said.

But when they turned around, anyone could see that their expression was peaceful.

The officials who followed finally felt relieved. Before that, they were all worried about Ma Dong.

Because Ma Dong was ordered to protect Zhu Yijun's thoroughness, but as a result... Empress Dowager Li could certainly believe that Ma Dong had not fulfilled her responsibilities.

However, now it seems that Empress Dowager Li does not intend to pursue the matter. She did not say a harsh word during the whole process of communicating with Ma Dong, and kept whispering softly.

But in fact, Sister Wang Xi and Wang An had already expected this to be the ending.

This is also the reason why the two of them sigh and admire each other.

If you think that Empress Dowager Li will really get angry and scold Ma Dong, you would underestimate the empress dowager who once served as Emperor Wanli for ten years.

So when I saw Empress Dowager Li and Ma Dong turn around leisurely, Wang An and Sister Wang Xi couldn't help but smile at each other and then walked up.

"Wang An." When Wang An was about to walk in front of him, Empress Dowager Li shouted softly.

"The Queen Mother, I am here."

"Simply clean up and we will return to Beijing immediately."

"Ah?" Wang An was stunned in surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong, "Immediately, go back to Beijing?"

"Well, how long do you want to stay?"

"Okay! The sooner the Empress Dowager returns to Beijing, the more you are worried about, I will go and clean up now." Wang An ran away quickly.

No matter how well he understood Empress Dowager Li and how accurately he figured out Empress Dowager Li's thoughts, he didn't expect Empress Dowager Li to make such a decision.

But this decision is undoubtedly very much for him. Empress Dowager Li stays in Taiwan for one more day, and the emperor will worry more day in Beijing. Of course, the sooner he returns to Beijing, the better.

"Mom finally came to Taiwan, so don't stay for a few more days?" Sister Wang Xi still regarded herself as Zhu Yijun's wife and kindly called Empress Dowager Li "Mother".

"No." Empress Dowager Li shook her head, "Wang An said just now, I'd better go back to Beijing as soon as possible."

"I don't know if there is a chance to see you again in the rest of your life." Sister Wang Xi said sadly.

Empress Dowager Li also felt that the chance of meeting in the future might be very slim, so she encouraged: "It is great to meet, but if we don't have the chance to meet again, we must cherish the present and live well."

Sister Wang Xi nodded repeatedly and said with relief and gratitude: "Thank you for your advice!"

Empress Dowager Li then said to Ma Dong: "General Ma, I will leave the matter of moving the tomb tomb to you."

"I know."

"I don't say anything extra. General Ma is a smart person, so I'll leave Taiwan to you."

"I will do my best to live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and His Majesty."

"Oh, and she, I'll leave it to you." Empress Dowager Li held Sister Wang Xi's hand, "I have always liked her very much. Since she wants to stay in Taiwan and is unwilling to go back to Beijing with me, she can only leave it to General Ma."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I will protect the princess as if I were protecting my own life." Ma Dong promised in front of Empress Dowager Li with confidence.

"The princess is just the past. After all, General Ma will forget it." Empress Dowager Li said earnestly and meaningfully, "I guess she doesn't like the people here, and they always regard her as the princess of the past. We should all be the same, and we need to look forward after all."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, I will keep it in mind!" Ma Dong bowed respectfully to Empress Dowager Li.

Sister Wang Xi felt her nose sore. Queen Mother Li was the greatest woman she had ever seen in her life.

Empress Dowager Li said relievedly: "Okay, I have already told you what you should say, and it's time to go back. I'll leave it to you here. The emperor has the infinite hope that he has placed on this land. I will thank you for your help in the future.

"The Empress Dowager is so serious. It is the responsibility of the empress dowager to protect this land and let the people on this land live a good life. If the empress dowager has a little passion, he will spare no effort to shine."

"Okay, okay, with General Ma's words, I can return to Beijing with confidence." Empress Dowager Li said three words "good" in a row, and her joy was beyond words.

Soon Wang An finished packing up and saluting.

Since Empress Dowager Li has made a decision, it is not convenient for Ma Dong and Sister Wang Xi to stay. The Empress Dowager secretly left Beijing and ran to Taiwan in a disguise. She should indeed go back earlier.

Ma Dong arranged for the soldiers to take Empress Dowager Li to Fujian on a boat and watched them get on the boat and leave.

This trip can be said to be coming and going in a hurry.

Looking at the big ship breaking through the waves and gradually disappearing in front of him, Ma Dong couldn't help but sigh: "This is the first time I have seen the Empress Dowager. She is really amazing! Her extraordinary vision and broad mind. Although she is a woman, she is far better than us men. She is worthy of being a woman who has upheld the state power of the Ming Dynasty for ten years in the reign of Emperor Wanli!"

Sister Wang Xi smiled slightly. On the one hand, she thanked Ma Dong for her praise for Empress Dowager Li, and on the other hand, she felt that if she asked her to evaluate Empress Dowager Li, she would not know what to say, because it would seem insignificant to use any words to describe Empress Dowager Li.

Although one expresses his feelings, the other feels that the words cannot express the meaning of the words.

But they undoubtedly showed great respect for Empress Dowager Li, and the two of them thought of the last part, which was the passage of "The princess was just the past, after all, it was... People finally need to look forward."

Isn’t this the best hint and encouragement for both of them?

On the way to send Sister Wang Xi back to the mansion, Ma Dong couldn't help asking, "Did the Empress Dowager ask you to return to Beijing?"

"Just ask me if I have this idea." Sister Wang Xi replied, "I didn't say I must go back."

"Then why don't you go back?"

"What is the job to go back to Beijing? What is the identity to go back? Isn't it good to live here? Everything can start over, and you and I still have a five-year agreement."

"Thank you!" Ma Dong said happily and excitedly.

"Where are you? The Queen Mother asked me if you have a relationship?"

"As you expected, I asked."

"how do you say?"

"I learned a word from the prince: seeking truth from facts. Instead of covering up, it is better to be honest. So I told the Queen Mother in my heart, saying that I am willing to use the rest of my life to protect you and ask her to fulfill her."

"What did she say?"

"She said you are a good woman, and the prince of the Fan is sorry for you. She will not interfere in the rest of your life. I hope you will be happy! The Empress Dowager is really amazing!" Ma Dong couldn't help but sigh again.

"Tell her the Emperor's strategic deployment?"

"Yes." Ma Dong nodded, "This is your deliberate explanation, and of course I will not forget."

"What's your mood at this moment?"

Ma Dong looked into the distance with passionate and authenticity, and a heroic spirit arose naturally.

"I just want to lead Taiwan to become rich, strengthen the construction of military forces, and make Taiwan have enough strength to become one of our strategic bases in Ming Dynasty."
