"Do you really want me to return to the capital first?" Lu Zhiyun asked.
"Yes!" Xia Qingzhou didn't know why, "I'll stay for a few more days."
"Are you really too busy, or don't you want to go back to the capital with us?"
"Nonsense, how could I not want to go back with you?"
"Master Xia, you don't dare to go with us?" Ding Xiang teased from the side, "I'll tell you, this is all related to Miss Ming."
Xia Qingzhou took a sip of tea to hide the guilt in his eyes.
"Master Xia doesn't want to go with me, but I still have to wait for you. After all, I still have a calamity. Master Xia doesn't want me to face it alone, right?" Lu Zhiyun said.
Xia Qingzhou put down his tea cup and looked at her seriously: "Why did your Majesty say this?"
"Master Xia, you have stayed in Nanzhou for too long and have you forgotten that we still have a batch of supplies in the hands of the robbers?" Lu Zhiyun said, "When I left the capital, I arranged for several generals to go around to suppress the bandits.
Not to mention, the generals were brave and good at fighting, and they did eliminate many bandits. However, they never found our lost supplies. So, do you think the evil people behind the scenes will let me go if I want to return to the capital?"
"Your Majesty, please wait for Xia for three more days. After Xia has finished handling the remaining matters, he will go back with your Majesty."
We must bring the empress back safely, otherwise we will be sorry for the people of Fenglin Kingdom and our good brother's entrustment."
Lu Zhiyun said calmly: "Okay."
A few days later, Lu Zhiyun, Xia Qingzhou and others planned to leave Nanzhou secretly, so they chose to set off before dawn.
However, when their carriage drove out, the whole street was ablaze, and people stood on both sides of the street holding torches.
"Mother Xia, Nanzhou has come to life because of you. When you return to the capital, don't forget us. The people of Nanzhou will never forget your kindness. We have already discussed it.
A statue of the Empress will be built in Nanzhou. The people in Nanzhou do not believe in Buddhism or religion, but only believe in our empress."
"My dearest lady, have a safe journey."
In the dark world, the words "safe journey" echoed for a long time.
Lu Zhiyun did not get off the carriage, but sat in the carriage and waved to everyone: "Go back and take good care of yourselves. Your life will be better in the future. If there is any injustice in the future, just come to the country and file a complaint. I will do it for you."
support."
"Empress, we will study hard and become the pillars of Fenglin Country." A group of children said crisply.
Lu Zhiyun had tears in her eyes and nodded with a smile.
There were torches all around, and her appearance was clearly visible to everyone.
Lu Zhiyun is very beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy, but in the eyes of the people, the most beautiful thing about their queen is not her appearance, but her heart that loves the people like a son.
They would pray for her, pray that she would give birth to her child safely, pray that she would be carefree in her life, and that she would be successful in times of adversity.
At dawn, the convoy had already left Nanzhou far away.
Ding Xiang looked at Lu Zhiyun's red eyes and said, "Mother, I noticed that you are crying more and more now. Could it be that you are becoming a mother, so you are becoming more emotional?"
"It's good that you know, don't be angry with me." Lu Zhiyun wiped the corners of her eyes, "Those children are so cute. I suddenly hope that time will go faster so that I can see them grow up."
"At that time, the empress was just a little old woman." Ding Xiang teased, "She is not as beautiful as she is now!"
Ming Ziyan said: "I know how to take care of skin and keep my empress young forever."
"Really?" Ding Xiang pointed to herself, "I want it too."
"Can."
Lu Zhiyun glanced at Xia Qingzhou outside: "How are you and Mr. Xia doing?"
Ming Ziyan curled his lips: "What does this kind of slut have to do with me? I saw him getting hurt for the sake of the people before, so I didn't care about him. Now that he's better, I feel disgusted even looking at him."
"Ziyan, we are good sisters. Don't keep some secrets alone. Tell them and let everyone make suggestions for you." Lu Zhiyun shook Ming Ziyan's arm.
Ming Ziyan smiled and said angrily: "Your Majesty is indeed becoming more and more childish. She wants to watch a show just because she wants to watch a show. She puts it so grandly."
"Then why don't you tell us?" Lu Zhiyun said, "It's still a long journey, so just tell us a story."
"Actually, it's nothing." Ming Ziyan said, "Although he saved me that time, he still touched me. It's good that I didn't kill him."
"Master Xia is actually such a person..." Bai Zhi was surprised, "It doesn't look like him! He is usually quite a gentleman."
"Hypocrite, just pretending." Ming Ziyan snorted coldly.
Xia Qingzhou rode over and said to Lu Zhiyun: "Madam, up ahead is the place where Prince An Guo lost his goods."
"You should have sent someone to investigate in advance, right?" Lu Zhiyun didn't believe that Xia Qingzhou didn't investigate in advance.
With his temperament, he will try his best to be absolutely foolproof in everything he does and will not fight an uncertain battle.
"There are indeed many robbers in this area, but as the empress said, General Tang led people to clean up here. All the robbers here were cleaned up, but the relief materials we lost were not found."
"so……"
"I will send people to investigate if there are any suspicious people. It has been a long time since the incident, and the people I sent found no evidence. However, before I went to Nanzhou, I sent people to check here. Although the gentleman did not find anything, he collected
A lot of evidence was collected, and the evidence was put into the box by Miss Bai Zhi beside the empress. Wei Chen made some bold guesses based on the evidence, and now we need to confirm it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that I don't want to take risks. Bai Zhi and Ding Xiang are both very capable. It might be safer if I use them to pretend to be you."
"My slave agrees." Ding Xiang nodded.
"Although there is no way to fake your face, as a queen, wearing a hat when going out is also a rule." Ming Ziyan said, "I don't want you to take risks, after all, you are two people now."
Lu Zhiyun looked at her belly: "Okay."
She didn't have to take risks, after all, the child in her belly couldn't tolerate any mistakes.
"The Queen will get off the carriage first. I have arranged for someone to meet you here. Then I will take the Queen to a safe place for a few days. After the incident is over, we will come back to you."
"Ensure your own safety first. If you find anything wrong, take them and evacuate first." Lu Zhiyun said, "Don't go head-on."
"Don't worry, Madam, I'm still waiting to be the little prince's adoptive father. I will definitely not let myself take risks." Xia Qingzhou said.
