Hu Xiaoxiao's good mood came to an abrupt end. What was that?

Before Hu Xiao could voice out his doubts, Qin Shuo turned around and left. Wen Fu Chen stared at Hu Xiao and followed him.

Seeing that familiar figure, Hu Xiao hastily pulled that person back. That's right, it was Yin Fufeng who had come to join the fun.

"Tell me quickly, why do you want me to follow you when you know that the Southern Patrol Sacrifice is just a toy?"

Hu Xiaoxiao was puzzled, hadn't Qin Shuo also been unhappy with him all this time? Why did that Southern Patrol Officer want to follow him? Qin Shuo wasn't afraid that he would kill him in the middle of the road and run away.

"Aiyo, esteemed empress, quickly let go. Men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other."

Yin Fufeng jumped up hurriedly and said, "This is the harem, right? How can you be laughing like this? If someone makes use of you, then I, Yin Fufeng, will die a thousand times."

"Stop blabbering, hurry up and tell me about the Southern Patrol Sacrifice."

Hearing this, Hu Xiao also let go of Yin Fufeng, realizing that what he did was wrong, but he couldn't blame himself. He could only blame Qin Shuo. With such a casual word, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Yin Fufeng explained it in a simple way, but it sounded like he hadn't noticed it at all. To be honest, he could just go out and play for a while.

Yin Fufeng saw that Qin Shuo was still smiling and didn't understand so he quickly followed him back to the study room.

When Hu Xiaoxiao, who had never been out before, heard this, he was overjoyed. Just as he was worrying about staying at the palace, he remembered that they were out on a trip. Thinking of his concubines, he walked into the palace with a sly smile.

The crowd watched as Hu Xiao walked in, suppressing their dissatisfaction, not daring to open their mouths to say a single word.

"Do you regret it now, sisters? I don't usually give people any chances, but it's a pity that my little sisters didn't catch it.

Looking at the furious crowd, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Empress."

When Zhilan saw Hu Xiaoxiao coming in, she stood behind him.

"I am a little tired, just look at my sisters, this matter requires you to personally work, then you will know the hardships of the people, no one can be lazy, and the maids and eunuchs of Yongning Palace will all come over to watch, to see how Master does things, and to serve Master at your side in the future, you will do your best."

"Yes, Empress."

Zhilan said with a smile. It seemed like the humiliation she had suffered at the hands of Xue Meng'er these past few days was something she could take back today.

With the people of Yongning Palace watching, as well as His Majesty's dictation, for a moment, no one saw the superfluous actions of Xue'er. She looked at the faraway smiling face that stood by the window, and gritted her teeth in hatred.

He had thought that with his cousin here today, he would be able to escape punishment like this. However, this damned Hu Xiaoxiao had also received the rebuke of his own cousin. He truly was an evil person.

Although she felt like cursing and laughing thousands of times in her heart, with her skill, Xue Meng'er was really scared and kept her composure. Everyone saw Xue Meng'er being so obedient, so they no longer dared to complain.

It was true that he had brought calamity upon himself. To be able to think of such a method of punishment as Hu Xiao's, he could be considered an extraordinary person.

"Your Majesty, the Empress didn't behave like any sort of empress at all. Your Majesty definitely cannot bring her along on this southern tour."

In the study room, as soon as the Minister came in, he knelt down and said this.

The empress had lost her virtue and was vulgar. Qin Shuo was already used to hearing these words from Fu Chen, but even these did not have any new meaning. He could not help but feel annoyed.

"Oh? Minister Wen said that the empress was wicked? So, Minister Yi Wen means that which concubine in the imperial harem is suitable to go? "

Qin Shuo narrowed his eyes, his cold and handsome face was now a little severe. Looking at the kneeling Wen Fu Chen, he asked absent-mindedly.

"This subject thinks that Imperial Concubine Xue is most suitable. Furthermore, Imperial Concubine Xue has been going together with me for the past few years. Imperial Consort Xue is demure and composed, and should be able to shoulder such a great responsibility."

"Imperial Concubine Xue? Do you remember that Imperial Concubine Xue is Minister Wen's cousin? "

Yin Fufeng was shocked by Fu Chen's words. What Fu Chen had said made Qin Shuo feel a little annoyed. Fu Chen had done it too obviously.

If it was a woman like that from the south, it would be alright for her to be an official in the imperial court, but from the perspective of the traditional East Court, these relationships had to be hidden away in private. Although most of the sons and daughters of officials were concubines in the imperial harem, this was still a taboo.

"Imperial Concubine Xue has accompanied me on a solo tour to the south, but she has never shown up. Now that I have an empress, I naturally will go along with her and pray for the blessings of all the people in the world. To end up ungrateful and unjust? "

Qin Shuo's words were too harsh, and Fu Chen finally reacted. Being provoked by Hu Xiaoxiao into confusion, Fu Chen was now shocked.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is not what I meant. It was just that Imperial Concubine Xue had performed well in the past, which was why this humble subject recommended Imperial Concubine Xue. Your Majesty has made clear to me."

The scholar hurriedly knelt down again, not daring to raise his head as he was extremely nervous.

"Ah, I was just joking, don't take it to heart, but the Queen's decision to follow this trip to the south is completely meaningless." Ah, I was just joking, don't take it to heart, but the Queen's decision to follow this trip to the south has absolutely no meaning.

After a long silence, Qin Shuo said slowly.

Fu Cheng was shocked. He had been careful in dealing with matters of the mansion, but why did Qin Shuo know about it? He didn't dare to say anything more. Qin Shuo was giving him a clear hint. If he persisted in doing so, the consequences would be dire.

"Yes, this humble subject obeys."

"This humble subject obeys the decree."

Fu Chen and Yin Fufeng said in unison. However, their moods and moods were completely different.

"Yes, you can leave now."

Qin Shuo nodded.

Recently, it had become too obvious for Fu Chen to target the empress. Qin Shuo had no choice but to think about what Fu Chen wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, a letter from the Southern Yue."

Wei Chen placed a letter in front of Qin Shuo and left.

"Hmm? "South Vietnam?"

Qin Shuo was slightly surprised, but immediately relieved.

"But the Empress has let the south Yue know recently. Did the south Yue write a letter to His Majesty specifically?"

Yin Fufeng joked.

Although he felt that Hu Xiao's actions were quite straightforward, if his opponent was the Son of Heaven, then this situation was a little too excessive. Presumably, the Southern Yue also thought the same.

"As you expected, but I believe that the reason why the South Yue sent people over is also to remind the Empress of the future."

Qin Shuo smiled and handed the letter to Yin Fufeng. It was a good thing that the South Yue had sent people to the East District.

As expected, she really did come for the Empress.
