"I... really don't want you to see me! Pavilion Master, let's leave quickly!"
Qin Mengxue pushed Ye Qing away with a red face, her tone was unclear and her expression was unnatural.
There is no way, anyone who encounters this kind of thing would be at a loss.
"Your Majesty, you have just arrived in Puzhou, and if you leave so soon, even Master can't bear it."
As Ye Qing spoke, he secretly glanced at Shi Huaiyu, but the latter obviously didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Ye Qing and the others, so he turned his head away pretending not to notice.
"It's not unreasonable, then let's leave immediately after the Pavilion Master's spiritual power recovers!"
"Yes, Your Majesty has worked tirelessly to take care of all the affairs of the Empire. It is really my fault that I cannot stay with Your Majesty to help solve your problems. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me."
"Huh, you still know? If I hadn't formed an alliance with the Li Tang Empire, why would I have wasted my time with you?"
After venting a few words of dissatisfaction, Qin Mengxue's expression finally softened, and she ordered Ye Qing to prepare two more bedrooms. Ye Qing obediently obeyed, served tea and poured water, and patted his back and shoulders. In this short period of time,
Ye Qing was so groveling, like a slave, that he finally coaxed Qin Mengxue.
As for Huang Sisi?
She is now receiving education from Shi Huaiyu.
"Sisi, have you made any progress since you left the Imperial Capital?"
Huang Sisi lowered her head in shame upon hearing this and said nothing.
Make progress?
In the past four months, Huang Sisi could probably count the number of times she practiced on one hand. How could she still bother with practicing?
However, this was obviously what Shi Huaiyu had expected. She sighed softly, pointed her fingertips on Huang Sisi's forehead, and said: "Master knows that you are attracted to Ye Qing, but you can't forget about cultivation, right? This is the matter here.
Now, you and I can go back to the imperial capital."
"Master! I don't want to go back!"
"Are you stupid? His Majesty has already had the idea of recruiting Ye Qing as his wife, and now there is a princess from the Li Tang Empire. If you don't go back in advance to make preparations, be careful that when he comes to pay homage, you won't be included!"
Shi Huaiyu glanced at Huang Sisi angrily and continued: "Ye Qing is about to become the royal wife of the Qingfeng Empire, and he will also be the consort of the Li Tang Empire. Aren't you afraid of suffering a loss?"
"Don't be afraid! Ye Qing is very kind to me. Yesterday he went to Prince Wu's house for a drink and even brought back half a jar of Baixian brew for me to taste. There are also..."
Looking at Huang Sisi chattering endlessly, Shi Huaiyu's eyes were full of smiles.
"Okay, Master knows that you and Ye Qing are very close to each other, but there is no need to discuss this matter. You must go back with me."
Huang Sisi knew that she could not defeat the master, so she could only nod aggrievedly and agreed.
the other side.
After finally meeting her sweetheart, Qin Mengxue was naturally very happy. She pulled Ye Qing and kept talking about her experiences in this world. When she was angry, she cursed without caring about her manners. When she said she was wronged, she leaned in Ye Qing's arms as if she was being bullied.
The little child.
In four months, too much has happened in the imperial capital.
"Ye Qing, some time ago you asked me to investigate the border logistics, and we have already got some clues. Wang Shangshu traced the matter and I am afraid it has something to do with the Qin family. He visited the Qin family the day before and was discovered early the next morning.
Hanged himself at home.
Ye Qing, I always feel strange in my heart, as if something big is about to happen, what should I do?"
Looking at Qin Mengxue who was sighing, Ye Qing suddenly realized that the empress in front of him, who was above tens of millions of people, was actually just a girl in her twenties. The burden of the entire country was on her, so it was no wonder that she had such a look on her face.
Fatigue.
"Your Majesty, do the Qin family have any disobedience?"
"This... I don't know, but they must be planning something. So much food, grass, and armor have been embezzled. It can't be just for money."
"In this case, Your Majesty may need to plan ahead."
The influence of the Qin family in the Qingfeng Empire was as great as that of King Wu on the Li Tang Empire. In addition, during this period of time, there were always rumors such as how a woman could become the emperor, which had been bothering Qin Mengxue.
However, when there is a drought, you can dig a well, and when you encounter the enemy, you can fight to the death. However, this long-lasting public opinion cannot be suppressed, let alone blocked. Qin Mengxue can only let it continue to ferment. This kind of remarks has even been imagined in the court.
.
At this time, once Qin Wanli becomes disloyal, how many followers will he have if he ascends the throne? The Qingfeng Empire, which finally settled down, will inevitably fall into uneasy turmoil again.
This is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the people.
So Qin Mengxue must be vigilant!
"Let's not mention whether Qin Wanli has a disloyal heart. Just the rumors in the imperial capital may not be guided by someone with intentions behind his back.
When I was in Liangzhou City, I really saw the people. They only care about what they eat today and whether they can have enough for the next meal. To be honest, no matter who becomes the emperor, they actually don't care, so maybe there are rumors in the imperial capital early.
The culprit of the rumors is none other than the Qin family!
Of course, this is just my guess, but it does make sense, so Your Majesty, the Qin family must be on guard against it."
Of course, Qin Mengxue also knew that Ye Qing did have a point in what he said, but...
Without evidence, I can't take action against the Qin family without permission, right?
"Is it possible that they have verified the authenticity of the matter before spreading the rumors? If your Majesty just wants a name to offend the Qin family, this could not be easier."
Isn't there a ready opportunity right now?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I will go to see His Highness the King of Wu right now. Regarding the alliance, His Majesty can discuss it with the King of Wu in person."
"Thanks a lot."
Qin Mengxue nodded with a smile, but immediately thought of Ye Qing and Huang Sisi's shameless life, and suddenly turned cold.
"Thank you for thinking about my sister!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Qing suddenly ran away, taking three steps at a time and then two steps at a time, and went straight to Prince Wu's Mansion.
With the waist card given to Ye Qing by King Wu himself, Ye Qing entered King Wu's Mansion as if he wanted to go home. He was led by servants throughout the whole process, and finally saw King Wu in the pavilion in the backyard.
"Your Highness."
"Brother Ye! Why are you free today and why are you looking for Brother Yu?"
King Wu greeted him enthusiastically, grabbed Ye Qing's shoulders, and led him into the pavilion. Whether intentionally or not, he pressed Ye Qing opposite Li Yuechan.
"I was just chatting with Yue Chan about you, but I didn't expect that Brother Ye would actually come. Is it possible that you and I are spiritually connected?"
"Your Highness and the princess are talking about me? Are they talking bad about me? If that's the case, I will fight back."
"Oh? How does Brother Ye plan to fight back?"
"For example, if you go to a brothel and don't pay, you won't be paid?"
"Harm! What kind of bad talk is this? It's just a fact."
