Although she didn't know whether the people sent by the emperor were safe, looking at the changes in the emperor during this period, she knew that these people must have been carefully selected.

Especially when she saw that the two maids who served her in the past were very capable, she stopped asking any more questions.

Now that the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter, the queen mother suddenly realized that they were not very safe in the palace.

"Emperor, can we still talk in this palace now?"

The emperor heard the Queen Mother's inquiry and understood what she meant.

Worried that the Queen Mother was worried, the emperor quickly explained.

"Mother, don't worry. The people around you are selected by your son personally. Those at the door are all personal guards, so there will be no problem."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"In that case, what about Qingshui County..."

The emperor knew that the Queen Mother was still thinking about Xuanyuan Ke, so he no longer hid it from her.

"Mother, what happened in Qingshui County is indeed not an ordinary matter."

"There's cement and some pharmaceutical workshops."

When the Queen Mother heard the emperor's words, she couldn't react for a moment.

Suddenly she saw the purse around Qing Jue's waist and thought that the pills Xuanyuan Ke had prepared for her were in the purse.

As for the magic of this pill, she had personally experienced it before, so she naturally knew how important this pill was to their big week.

When the Queen Mother looked at the emperor again, her eyes were full of shock.

The emperor sighed, "That cement has now been used for the border city wall. It is much stronger than other materials. This is also an important reason why the Fanbang people did not break through the Great Zhou city in the autumn."

"The only city that was lost was because the governor there rebelled, and that's why we lost a city."

"Not only that, Qingshui County has also opened waterways, and transporting medicines and cement to the border is much faster than our capital city."

Even though the Queen Mother had already been mentally prepared, she suddenly felt excited when she heard this.

The old man's hands holding on to the armrests of the table and chairs were trembling slightly.

Seeing this, the emperor quickly stepped forward to help the queen mother.

"Mother, be careful."

After the Queen Mother calmed down, she turned to look at Qing Jue.

"Qingjue, give one pill to Aijia."

Although Qingju didn't know what the Queen Mother wanted to do, she still took out a pill from her purse.

"Your Majesty, these are the pills you used to replenish your qi and blood a few days ago."

The Queen Mother held the pill in her hand and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly chuckled.

"Okay, that doctor from Qingshui County is our lucky star in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Having her come to the Great Zhou Dynasty is a great blessing for the Great Zhou Dynasty and a great fortune for our Xuanyuan family."

The emperor did not expect the Queen Mother to say this suddenly, but he nodded.

"The Queen Mother is right, she is indeed the lucky star of our Xuanyuan family."

When the Queen Mother heard his words of approval, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at the emperor.

"What? The emperor knows who that person is?"

The emperor sighed helplessly, "Mother, if my son's guess is correct, Ke'er is in that person's home now."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help but frown.

"You don't even know who that person is, so how dare you let Ke'er live there?"

Although the Queen Mother was very grateful to the man who could make cement and magic medicine, it was because of him that they could be safe and sound in Zhou Dynasty.

But Xuanyuan Ke is her eldest grandson, how can she rest assured?

Seeing the Queen Mother's worries, the Emperor no longer concealed it.

"Mother, the person who made cement and this magical medicine is Zhang Siyuan's wife."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't react for a while.

After all, it had been nine years since Zhang Siyuan left the court. Although she knew that he was a young general, her name had gradually become unfamiliar to her over the past nine years.

While the emperor was making her a cup of tea, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered who Zhang Siyuan was.

"You mean Zhang Siyuan's wife, she is the miracle doctor?"

The Queen Mother could not sit still this time.

No one else knew how much the emperor was afraid of Zhang Siyuan, but she, a mother, knew it very well.

Zhang Siyuan was obviously a loyal minister and good general who served the country and the people, but because of her son's bad behavior, she was actually asked to resign and return to her hometown.

At that time, the Queen Mother often had quarrels with the Emperor because of this matter.

Now that she heard that the lucky star of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Zhang Siyuan's wife, the Queen Mother actually felt a little dazed.

Thinking of the things the emperor had done before, the Queen Mother couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"You're the only one who has the nerve to start a relationship with me?"

"If it hadn't been for Ke'er this time, I wouldn't have given those good things to you in vain!"

The emperor looked embarrassed when he heard the Queen Mother's words.

Regarding Zhang Siyuan's matter, he knew that what he did was wrong.

But he is the emperor. How can any emperor admit his mistakes?

When the Queen Mother saw him like that, what else didn't she understand?

He raised his hand and waved the tea brewed by the emperor to the ground.

The emperor was startled.

"Queen mother?"

No one expected that the Queen Mother would suddenly attack.

The people serving in the room also knelt on the ground at this time.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"When you drove Zhang Siyuan away, do you still remember what Ai Jia said?"

The emperor was stunned for a moment. Seeing the cold expression on the Queen Mother's face, he finally remembered.

He had quarreled with the Queen Mother back then because of Zhang Siyuan's matter.

At that time, he even dropped his harsh words and said that Zhang Siyuan wanted to return to the court unless he apologized in person!

Although the border war is not as urgent as it was in autumn, they all know that once spring begins, those foreigners will inevitably go south.

It's really not certain whether Dazhou can still defend the border cities by then.

After all, if he convicts Zhang Siyuan, how can Zhang Siyuan's wife still help their Xuanyuan family?

Without the help of Zhang Siyuan's wife, this cement would no longer be produced.

Although the cement is now owned by Da Zhou, the formula of the cement is in the hands of Zhang Siyuan's wife.

The people in the cement workshop are also from Qingshui County.

If there were no cement walls, the border would not be able to support it for even a month.

After all, General Wang is already old, and the capable generals in the court have already been demoted or killed by him for various reasons.

At this time, it is really not an easy task for people to guard the border city.

Thinking that if there is no cement, the iron cavalry of the foreigners will step into the Great Zhou Dynasty.

One day he will step into the capital, and the country built by the Xuanyuan family's ancestors will also be ruined in his hands.

The emperor closed his eyes, a flash of determination flashed across his expression.

He didn't care about the broken ceramic tea cup on the floor, and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a plop.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and Liao Cheng also hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up.

"His Majesty!"
