They bowed towards the emperor, and were supported up by Ling Chaofeng and Wei Tengfei. The emperor said in a gentle tone: ”There is no need for the elderly to be so courteous, we should thank all of you, and protect the mountain forest for my Daqi.”

On the other side, Hanxi supported Xiaowan who was standing not far behind them, while the Queen stood by the side by herself with her back straightened.

Her expression was solemn as she stared at the person in front of her. Her gaze immediately fell on the Emperor, and she saw that the atmosphere had changed, and Siyan revealed a smile.

The Xiaowan looked on foolishly. Turns out the Queen was just as she had imagined, dignified and dignified. She knew that she wouldn't be able to become such an amazing woman in her entire life, but she was already satisfied to see it with her own eyes.

Although the emperor hated Ling Chaofeng for his arrangements, it was indeed as Xiaowan said, he was the one who agreed to come. He had felt that the two people who destroyed the shop were a little strange since a long time ago, and if he didn't come, then everything would be fine.

However, now that he had arrived, he did not regret it at all. He had personally witnessed the desolation and desolation behind this great river and mountain. The words spoken by the elders on the mountain were as if they had been enlightened.

Xiang Run more and more understood that with his father's outstanding achievements, he should be able to become a king.

After the elders left, only Wei Tengfei and Ling Chaofeng followed behind the emperor. He said to the two of them: ”We must build a warship, even if we have to cut all the mountains in this area, we cannot just watch as the coasts of the Daqi suffer threats again and again.”

”Yes.” Wei Tengfei replied.

”Before, I wanted you to build a weapons factory. Since a natural cave has been formed there, let's put everything on hold. Transfer those people here to plant the trees and tell them to listen to the mountain people's commands.” I hope that when the next Emperor wishes to build the warship of the palace, there will be lush and verdant trees. ”

The Emperor did not speak any heroic words as he said very calmly, ”I have always thought that what royal father left to me was an unshakable overlord. My entire life, I will be a king with no achievements. Only now do I understand, royal father had given the most important burden to us, today's Daqi cannot be considered to be that of a powerful nation, so let's see thirty years or even fifty years from now. ”

The two of them cupped their fists in acknowledgement, the emperor then ordered Ling Chaofeng: ”This time you have cheated on the Sovereign, the death penalty will be spared you.”

Ling Chaofeng's expression was solemn, he had long been prepared for this, for any punishment, he would not resist, this time, it was true that he was being too arrogant.

”Xiaowan.” The Emperor suddenly spoke.

young lady stood at the back, she was stunned, then looked at the Empress, then at Hanxi, as though asking them: Is the Emperor calling me?

Hanxi quickly supported Xiaowan up ahead. The Queen took a few steps, but did not come closer.

The emperor asked the Xiaowan if she wished to forgive Ling Chaofeng for cheating on his husband.

As expected, the moment she said those words, Xiaowan immediately kneeled down, looking anxious and wanting to plead for his husband. In the discussion she had with the Aunt Zhang before they entered the mountain, the worst case scenario would be that her husband would lose his head.

However, what she did not know was that Ling Chaofeng might not have been afraid of death, but the moment he saw her kneeling down, the pain pierced through his heart and he felt ashamed.

The Emperor ordered Hanxi to help the Xiaowan up, then looked at the mud on her Xiaowan's skirt before glancing at Ling Chaofeng. The men understood each other, and the Emperor understood that this was already the biggest punishment for Ling Chaofeng.

He leisurely said: ”Since you are unable to escape from death, I want you to travel all the way from east, south, west, and even find the mountain forests that have been deserted by the imperial government in the Daqi territory. For a period of three years, help the people everywhere rebuild the mountain forest.”

Then he said to the Xiaowan: ”In the future, he will not be able to follow you often, or you will have to follow him around often. Are you willing?”

Xiaowan nodded, but she pursed her lips and thought that once they passed this village, there would be no such shop. She didn't know when she would be able to personally say anything to the emperor, but she steeled her heart and said, ”But Your Majesty … Master wants to find the materials for the boat for the General Wei, wants to earn money for the Lord Tang, and now he has to repair the forest. Furthermore, our family has an inn to do business, there are so many things that can't be done by himself. ”

The emperor laughed, and Wei Tengfei also laughed. Ling Chaofeng walked over and supported his wife in place of Hanxi, smiling and shaking his head at her.

Xiaowan was confused, but the emperor said: ”He has done more than this before. I know that he has the capability. The only difference is that now that he has a wife and children, he will be worried about you. ”

His gaze swept past Xiaowan and Hanxi, and looked at her own wife. Siyan smiled, his eyes filled with joy.

This matter, although the empress could not even go to the Chuanyu, the result was still beautiful. Although the Chuanyu could go at any time, it would not delay one day passing on the inheritance to the ten thousand generations of trees in the mountain forest.

Everyone guarded the emperor who was resting in the mountains for another two days before they smoothly left the mountains. The emperor's group had to return to the capital, Wei Tengfei originally wanted to protect them all the way, but when they had just reached the foot of the mountain, a group of people rushed over. It was Xiaowan's first time seeing the person in the lead. Just when she was curious where this handsome man came from, she saw First Princess running out from the group towards him.

Hanxi supported Xiaowan and whispered to her, ”The little General Shen has come.”
