”What are you panicking for? The Empress has not woken up yet. Go wake her up, I'll go take a look. ”

Zhilan looked at ZhiTang's panic-stricken appearance and decided that she still needed to be taught a little bit. Being by the empress's side and panicking when something happened didn't seem like it.

When ZhiTang heard Zhilan's words, she hastily ran over to wake Hu Xiaoxiao up.

At this moment, Hu Xiaoxiao was still deep in sleep.

When Zhixiang reached the bed, she sat up from the bed with a wry smile. She had thought that Hu Xiaoxiao had woken up, but Hu Xiaoxiao's next action caused her to be stunned.

Although Zhixiang already knew that Hu Xiaoxiao's kung fu skills were excellent when he was laughing, that was, after all, hitting someone else. Yet, Hu Xiaoxiao's fist was about to land on her face. It would be weird if she wasn't scared to death.

Sure enough, after Zhixiang's strange cry, Hu Xiaoxiao finally opened his eyes.

For a moment, he could not tell if he was in a dream, the dream scene, the dream stage, or the familiar cheers.

When Zhixiang came in, Hu Xiaoxiao dreamt that he was still living in the modern world, standing on the familiar stage. After the two of them bumped into each other, they were already evenly matched, and the two were unable to keep up with each other, but in the third round, Hu Xiaoxiao seemed to be on the verge of victory.

The most taboo thing in the arena was sneak attacks. Hu Xiao disliked petty people like this the most, so he didn't hold back in his subsequent actions. In the end, Hu Xiao abruptly stopped, because killing someone in the arena was an ugly sight to behold.

At this moment, Zhixiang should be thankful that Hu Xiaoxiao still had a sliver of mercy towards the arena battle. Otherwise, the current Zhixiang would probably have been disfigured.

”What is it?”

Ye Zichen sorted out his thoughts, then looked at Zhixiang with a smile as if it was an expression of his own.

Zhilan should know her own rules. There was the furious Hu Xiao who got up early in the morning, and normally, great events wouldn't come looking for her. Seeing Zhexiu right now, she felt slightly dissatisfied in her heart.

”Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant did not do it on purpose. It was the various palace maids that came to pay their respects to the Empress.”

Zhexiu had never thought that Hu Xiaoxiao would behave like this in his sleep. He was already scared out of his wits, and seeing Hu Xiaoxiao wake up, he quickly kneeled down.

”Yes, I understand.”

After saying that, Hu Xiaoxiao did not move, but sat on the bed in a daze.

When he returned to the East Court from the modern era, his heart was filled with a sense of loss. When he heard that the concubines were still waiting to pay their respects in the front hall, he smiled with a hundred of unwillingness in his heart.

At this moment, in the main hall.

”Ladies and gentlemen, the empress has not changed her clothes yet. May I trouble the empress to take a break?”

Zhilan walked into the main hall and said. His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. After all, he was from the Southern Mountain's Royal Family. Moreover, after receiving Hu Xiao's tutelage, Zhilan had an even more imposing air about her than before.

”The empress has so much to do every day. As concubines, we should naturally wait.”

Seeing that the one speaking was a person that Qin Shuo had doted on recently, Zhilan's eyes flashed with a trace of unrelenting determination.

”Honorable Master Hui is too serious, the Empress does indeed have a great time every day. It would be better if Honorable Master Hui had nothing to do during the day. Seeing how carefully he is dressed up, His Majesty will definitely like it.”

As soon as Zhilan's words came out, the imperial concubines stared at the rich man without a trace.

The harem was filled with countless women, and the only thing they hoped for was for His Majesty to be pampered forever. This way, they would be able to have peace of mind for the rest of their lives, but the ones they favored would have to bear more.

Seeing how Zhilan's words were enough to cause all her concubines to see their discontent, the rich and powerful person was inwardly shocked and did not dare to speak up again.

Seeing that the imperial concubines had stopped speaking, Zhilan was satisfied. With a smile that was like the empress's, how could she tolerate a group of imperial concubines trying to make things difficult for themselves?
