As he played with the object in his hands, he realised that he had never seen this order badge before, and guessed the reason behind Qin Shuo's actions.

"This is a solitaire's order badge, there are only three portions of it in the entire East Court, and seeing this order badge makes me feel as if I have seen a solitaire, and have received all the orders I have received from this order badge, as though I had received all the orders from a solitaire."

Qin Shuo laughed at Hu Xiao's strange appearance, and said slowly.

What!

Hu Xiao was stunned in place for a moment, she just now thought that it was fun to play, looking at the materials of the order badge, the colors were all high quality, her heart was still thinking about how much silver would be pawned, but now she felt as if the thing in her hand was scalding hot.

He hurriedly kneeled on the floor.

"Your Majesty, this token is too valuable. Your concubine dares not accept it, so I hope that Your Majesty can keep it!"

With that, he returned the order badge in his hand to Qin Shuo, but Qin Shuo's following words made Hu Xiao not know how to refute.

"Empress, since you can sacrifice yourself for me, I'm only giving you a small right. If the empress still refuses to accept it, do you think it's wrong to do it alone?"

It was obvious that all of this was because she, Hu Xiao, was a princess of the South Yue, and the empress of the East Court. If this was really the case, then Qin Shuo should have done all he could to weaken Hu Xiao's authority, so why was it that Hu Xiao's authority was growing higher and higher?

"This matter has already been decided by Gu Shenwei. There's no need for the empress to continue trying to shirk it. It's just that she has feelings for the empress, that's all."

Qin Shuo sighed lightly, as though it was a huge mistake for Hu Xiao not to accept this treasure, but Qin Shuo's current state made Hu Xiao even more suspicious.

"Since that's the case, chenqie will respectfully obey."

If something urgent happened in the future, he would be able to save his life. After all, although his own martial arts were not bad, he was still not a match for a large army. If things got to that point, he would be able to preserve his life.

"The empress should have done so long ago."

Seeing Hu Xiao take the order badge into her chest, Qin Shuo's somewhat serious face instantly turned happy, but she actually saw a trace of a smile on the face of the ice mountain, which could be considered to be extremely difficult.

"Hehe, didn't chenqie feel that the token is too valuable just now? Chenqie doesn't dare to accept it, but since chenqie has already accepted it, then His Majesty must not return. This token belongs to chenqie."

After he finished speaking, he held it tightly in front of his chest, as if he was afraid Qin Shuo would take it back.

Hu Xiao's actions were too exposed, Qin Shuo merely took a glance before turning his head uncomfortably, and said indifferently after a moment.

"Since I've already given it to the empress, I naturally won't take it back. Don't worry, empress."

Could it be that Qin Shuo was someone who went back on his words? Since he had already given it away, he naturally wouldn't take it back! What the hell does Hu Xiao think he is! Such a despicable person!

Even so, thinking back to how Hu Xiao looked just now, his face showed uneasiness, but luckily Hu Xiao had her full attention on the order badge, and didn't notice the uneasiness on his face.

"Haha, Your Majesty has misunderstood your concubine. Since Your Majesty is so busy and worried about your health, your concubine will leave first."

Carrying the treasure in her arms, Hu Xiao turned around and left with a bright smile.

Although he did not see Qin Shuo's face when he left, but the earlobes that were slightly red could not be seen clearly by Hu Xiao. It was extremely bashful, but looking at Qin Shuo who had such a beautiful daughter in the harem, how could he also have such shyness? Could it be that he was missing a girl from one of the families?

He shook his head, wanting to throw out the thoughts in his mind. After all, Qin Shuo's appearance was really too magical, Hu Xiao felt that she had forgotten about this scene.

After a good night of sleep, Hu Xiao managed to get a good night's sleep.

After all, he had been injured so he had to wake up several times during the night.

Giving Zhi Lan a casual wash, Hu Xiao hurriedly rushed over to Mr Mo Zhu's courtyard.

"Empress, your wound! "Be careful!"

Zhi Lan said helplessly as she chased after her.

The Imperial Physician had said that they couldn't move too much, or else the wound would open up again. However, when Zhi Lan looked like she didn't care about his wound at all, Zhi Lan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"It doesn't matter. I know what my wounds are."

Hu Xiao heard the words from behind and did not seem to care at all. After all, her own body was clearer than the imperial physician's, especially when the wound was on her chest. The imperial doctor was a man and woman, so she did not dare to look at him.

Without waiting for Zhi Lan to speak, Hu Xiao had already ran into the courtyard.

Yesterday, they already knew that Hu Xiao would be here today, and Yin Fufeng, Zhao Qiyan and Mo Zhu had been waiting for a long time inside Mo Zhu's courtyard.

Hu Xiao immediately rushed forward and stood in front of the object that the three people were surrounding.

"Is this what all of you did?"

Hu Xiao was extremely happy as she looked at the gigantic object in front of him.

The thing in front of him looked like a windmill.

"What's the use of this?"

It had been done for a few days, but they didn't know what to do with it.

This thing is used to draw water, and it can also be considered an object to irrigate the crops of commoners. When the water is brought to the source of water, it can be used to guide the water on the object.

The Sui City's terrain was too high, and although the water source could guide the people to grow their crops, it could not lead the water source to the people's house in the Sui City.

"Then what if the Sui City is already rather high?"

Mo Zhu was a little suspicious, previously, Mo Zhu had already seen the ditches Hu Xiao wanted to introduce to the water sources, but these could not directly enter the homes of commoners, so what was the point of this? The water would only flow smoothly, but he had never heard of anyone flowing backwards.

"It is used for pumping water. The water will flow to another windmill and rise up, layer by layer, until the water flows smoothly."

It was not like Hu Xiao had not thought about it before, but Sui City was too dry of a geology.
