In a place where Qin Shuo couldn't see, Xue Mier glanced at Hu Xiao provocatively. Originally, Xue Mier thought that she would fly into a rage because of this, but who knew that Hu Xiao would still have such a calm and composed appearance?

Seeing that Hu Xiao had disappeared from the courtyard, Qin Shuo brought Xue Mier and left the place.

But who would have thought that Hu Xiao, who had just left the courtyard, would meet Mo Zhu and Zhao Qiyan.

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhao Qiyan! Mr Mo Zhu. "

He quickly caught up to the two people who were walking in front and talking about something.

Hearing Hu Xiao's words, the two of them were stunned, they turned and saluted.

"Alright, no need to be so polite. Where are you guys going?"

It was already late in the night, and seeing the two walk side by side, Hu Xiao felt a little strange.

"Oh. Reporting to the Empress, the two of us are planning on eating …"

Hearing that, Hu Xiao interrupted Zhao Qiyan.

"Have a meal?" You are also eating? "Why don't we do it together? I also happen to have something to say to you."

Originally, he thought that Hu Xiao would stop the two of them from talking, but since Hu Xiao had extended an invitation and had other important things to discuss with him, she naturally could not reject him.

After a while, they appeared in Hu Xiao's residence.

They had all cleaned up and were not doing too well. However, they were not paying much attention to this matter. Although they were staying at the yamen, they were not much different from the relay stations. There was nothing they were not used to.

After hurriedly eating dinner, Hu Xiao and walked into the courtyard. Fortunately, the courtyard Hu Xiao lived in was large enough, otherwise, if they were to chat inside the room, it would be chatty again.

"Empress, what was the important matter you were talking about just now?"

Zhao Qiyan had already been unable to endure it any longer, but he ate and did not speak. He could only hold it in, and now that he could finally speak, he impatiently asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Eh? Yin Fufeng? "Come in quickly, let's go together."

Just as Hu Xiao was about to speak, she saw a shadow flash past and anxiously said.

Hearing that, the person outside was startled, and turned to look inside the house, but after seeing his good friends Zhao Qiyan and Mo Zhu who were also sitting by the side, Yin Fufeng calmly walked in.

It was naturally done after the salutation.

"Yin Fufeng, I was too agitated in the pavilion today, sorry."

After brewing for a long time, Hu Xiao opened her mouth to speak with some embarrassment.

Since she had already realized his own mistakes, Hu Xiao naturally needed to find a chance to admit it. She couldn't let the other party keep it in her heart forever.

Zhao Qiyan and Mo Zhu could not believe what they heard, after all, they could not imagine that Hu Xiao would do such a thing, the shock was evident on their faces, but Hu Xiao could not care less about the two of them.

"Empress is being too serious, I am also somewhat at fault for what happened today."

Forget about Zhao Qiyan and Mo Zhu, even Yin Fufeng himself was shocked. After all, no one had ever spoken in such a serious and humble manner, and there was no need for Hu Xiao to apologize at all for today's matters. After all, both of her hands were at fault!

Seeing that the two of them had been playing dumb, apologizing to each other, Zhao Qiyan became more and more curious, and continued to ask, but after a while, he found out the cause and effect of today's events, and was speechless.

There were too many things that were misunderstood due to proper business in the imperial court, and even Yin Fufeng and Yin Fufeng would often quarrel with each other in the imperial court because of disagreements, but after that, the two of them no longer took it to heart, but now that Hu Xiao had talked about it, everyone benefited greatly.

"Alright, since I've already spoken humbly, then this matter can be considered as a replay. Don't bring it up again in the future."

Seeing Yin Fufeng nod his head, Hu Xiao was satisfied.

Only then did Hu Xiao recount the reason why she had them gather here today.

"Today, we are here on my own initiative, the people of Sui City have been hungry for a long time because of this natural disaster, and the imperial government has not found out about this matter in time because of that Prefect. Since this calamity has already been brewed, we must think of a way."

Seeing that all of their expressions were troubled, Hu Xiao on the other hand, remained calm and continued to speak.

"I have already thought of a way, maybe Yin Fufeng didn't notice him being with His Majesty today, but I have already asked, there is a river channel a hundred miles away from the Sui City, it can be said to have an abundant amount of water source, so my plan is to open the channel and draw a portion of the river channel's water towards the Sui City, which will solve the problem of the drought."

"..."

Hu Xiao's explanation lasted all the way until midnight, but the few people who were doing it were still full of spirit. They never thought that they would think of such a way to open a channel and not cure it, but now, Hu Xiao's suggestion had brought great benefits to the citizens.

A month ago, it was because of several consecutive months of drought that the citizens had not been able to gather anything. Furthermore, Sui City was too remote, and no merchants came to this place, so even the yamen was built a long time ago. It was just that after the Prefect had been installed, the place had become much more luxurious.

It was precisely because of this mansion which was incompatible with Sui City that the citizens of Sui City hated the imperial government.

However, Hu Xiao's act of stocking up on food had changed the opinion of the citizens of Sui City somewhat, but they still did not believe in the imperial government in their hearts.

This is what I have said before, there must be a person left between His Majesty and I, His Majesty, as His Majesty is a genius and his skills are inferior to mine, thus my presence here is the best solution, the method to open the channel and channel is my own, and naturally, I am the most qualified to remain here, thus, I let you all come here first to see if this method is feasible, and secondly, I want you all to persuade His Majesty to let me stay!

As soon as Hu Xiao finished speaking, the few people who were talking earlier instantly went silent.

"Empress, I remember that Your Majesty seemed to have severely warned Empress today to not bring up this matter again."

After staring blankly for a long while, Yin Fufeng finally spoke up. Although the situation during the day did not allow Yin Fufeng to listen in too much, he still did not remember a single word that he had said.

Hu Xiao was not a woman either, even if she was powerful and clever, how could she beat all the victims of Sui City? Furthermore, there would be people who would underestimate Hu Xiao's womanly body. Although it was good to imagine, it was still a difficult task to execute.

"I naturally know what you mean, but there should still be someone who will step forward. Since I'm the empress of East Court, I shouldn't be afraid of you either."

As soon as he said that, the remaining three people were stunned.

He thought that Hu Xiao had always wanted to leave the title of empress, but now it seemed like they were the ones who were overthinking it.

A few men were actually not as strong as a woman and could not help but feel guilty. At this moment, someone outside the door, upon seeing this, slightly mocked himself before turning around and leaving.

"Ai, what kind of expression is this? Why do you keep looking down on our Empress? "
