Qin Shuo cut off their conversation.

”This matter shall come to an end. Empress Gu will send people to guide her. Minister Wen should focus more on the commoners. I'm a bit tired, all of you can leave now.”

He didn't want to see more people arguing in front of him, so he quickly told them to back off.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaoxiao got up and left.

The three people who had left the study room did not separate.

”I thank you two sirs for your assistance. I shall remember your kindness. If you need anything in the future, feel free to speak.” Hu Xiao said.

The two of them were shocked and didn't know that laughing would have such a side.

”But it was a simple task, the empress doesn't need to worry about it.”

”Yes.” Hu Xiaoxiao agreed, but he would remember it in his heart. In this deep palace, it was a big deal to have someone to protect. He was merely an empress from the south of the Yue Province, a mere day of friendship, but the two of them were already enough.

The three chatted and laughed for a while.

”Enough, I have no business here. The two sirs are busy with matters, so I will not disturb you any longer.”

Hu Xiao said as he saw Zhao Qiyan and Yin Fufeng following him.

Although the two of them came to save him, and although Hu Xiao was grateful for this, in his heart he still did not mind what Qin Shuo had said yesterday.

The ancient emperor suspected that this was a common ailment, so it was better to avoid it. At the same time, it was for the sake of both of their futures.

Seeing this, the two people bade their farewells.

The two of them understood Hu Xiao's temperament, so it wasn't difficult for a small matter like this to trouble Hu Xiao. They weren't too worried, but seeing Hu Xiao say this, they left.

At this point, Fu Cheng, who had yet to leave his house, felt indignant. The anger in his heart surged, and he fainted.

Seeing this, Qin Shuo asked the palace maid to send Wen Fu off to rest.

Yin Fufeng was about to leave the palace, but he remembered that he had something else to discuss with Qin Shuo, so he went back.

Zhao Feiyan smiled as he talked about the matter of Yin Fu Feng's mother. He turned around and left for the military camp. He hadn't visited the military camp for a few days, so he decided to train his men when the time was right.

At this time, Hu Xiaoxiao, who had returned to the palace, unexpectedly met Xue Meng'er. Just as he was about to take a detour away, Xue Meng'er directly walked over. It was too late for him to take a detour.

”It's the empress's fortune.”

Xue Meng'er was not as arrogant as before and had no choice but to bow.

”Seems like the lake isn't that icy yet.”

Seeing that Xue Meng'er was about to say something else, he smiled and said slowly. Not only did Xue Meng'er loathe him, she also loathed Xue Mu. She really wanted to see him and not be annoyed by him.

Xue Meng'er's face paled when she heard this. She hurriedly found an excuse and quickly left.

It was as if the nightmare of being kicked down the pond had been awakened. Xue Meng'er was extremely conflicted. There was a queen that could attack at any time. She had to be more careful in the future, otherwise, if she got angry that day, she would be kicked down the lake.

Seeing that Xue Meng'er had left, Hu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. However, these two siblings really did come from different families. Each of them came to cause trouble for him, so he left in a dejected manner.

Within Yongning Palace.

”Is this the woman we saved yesterday?”

Seeing the unfamiliar woman busily working in the courtyard, her figure felt a little familiar, so he couldn't help but look towards Zhilan behind him and ask.

So Zhao Qiyan had sent someone over to find out that he was in the study?

”Empress, it is yesterday's woman.”

Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao looking at that person, Zhilan called the girl over.

”Greetings to the empress, many thanks to the empress for saving us yesterday.”

At this moment, the woman's appearance had long since lost the sorry state she was in yesterday. After being showered and dressed up, she did have some looks on her face.

”A name?”

Hu Xiao didn't reply, but asked directly. Saving this person was a piece of cake, so Hu Xiao didn't really want this person to return the favor.

”Reporting to the Empress, since this servant was sold to the Empress by my parents, my previous name is no longer important.”
