In the morning of the next day, Taoist Zuntian came to the court hall as scheduled. He strode to the center of the hall with his head held high. After making a big salute, he went straight to the point and asked the fake emperor how they discussed yesterday's affairs.

Mei Xichen had already settled the matter with the false emperor at this time, so he replied confidently: "I have discussed with all the ministers about opening up the border trade between Yagong and Kyoto, and all the ministers have agreed, so I also There is nothing more to say, but the details need to be carefully considered by both parties. I have given the full responsibility to Prince Mei, and you two can discuss it later."

After hearing what the fake emperor said, a stone hanging in the heart of this Taoist Master finally fell to the ground. He thanked her quickly and looked at Mei Xichen.

"This is Mei Xichen, King of Jingyang in Kyoto. He is in a high position at such a young age, but he is young and energetic and should be easy to deal with." Thinking of this, Taoist Zuntian smiled secretly in his heart.

After retreating from the court, Mei Xichen walked out of the hall, and Taoist Zuntian quickly stepped forward to greet Mei Xichen.

"Prince Mei, please stay." Taoist Zuntian stopped Mei Xichen very politely.

"What's the matter?" Mei Xichen asked with a disdainful glance at Taoist Zuntian.

"Did you hear clearly what the emperor said in the court just now?" Taoist Zuntian asked quickly.

"Oh, this matter, I think we should find some time and I will go to your inn. However, I have to wait until I have drawn up the details. This matter should not be rushed. I hope the envoy will give me more time." Mei Xichen said politely.

"No rush, no rush, we will discuss it after the prince has drafted the details. Then I will wait for your good news at the post house." After saying that, Taoist Zuntian walked straight out of the palace.

The opening of border trade has been completed. Taoist Zuntian quickly reported the good news to Pella, which finally took the first step towards success.

Within a few days, Mei Xichen's speed of doing things was really fast enough. He ordered his men to draw up the detailed rules and went to the posthouse to discuss the matter with Taoist Zuntian. Originally, this border trade matter was something that everyone was willing to promote, so these details were nothing more than a formality.

After everything is finalized, Mei Xichen said that the formal official document will be handed over to the envoy in three days, and it can be implemented after both parties sign it.

Taoist Zuntian did not expect that things would be done so smoothly and quickly, so he praised Mei Xichen repeatedly.

In fact, Mei Xichen had already made full preparations and was just waiting to see what the next step of Beila and Taoist Zuntian would be.

Five days later, Taoist Zuntian successfully left Kyoto City with his team of [-] people. Mei Xichen and Xu Mo discussed that they must send more manpower to deploy defenses in the border areas. There must be both overt and covert ones. Keep a close eye on them.

"Xu Mo, I wonder if you can go to the border in person?" Mei Xichen looked at Xu Mo and said.

"Does the prince want to replace the generals guarding the border?" Xu Mo looked at Mei Xichen and asked.

"That's right, the last time Qing'er and I passed by and inspected there for a night. The leader there was just being obedient and incompetent, and he was not one of our own, so I was worried." Mei Xichen's eyebrows revealed A hint of worry.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will set off for the border station immediately." Xu Mo nodded and agreed.

"As for Ling Que, have you figured out how to explain it to her? After all, you have just been married. ..." Mei Xichen looked at Xu Mo with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, Your Majesty. If it doesn't work, I'll take her with me." Xu Mo smiled to ease Mei Xichen's awkward expression.

"Well, if Lingque is willing to go with you, that would be the best. Then I will immediately send someone to write an imperial edict and send you to monitor the station. In addition, all the secret guards over there will be at your disposal." Mei Xichen continued.

"Okay, Your Majesty, then I'll go back and prepare for departure tomorrow morning." After Xu Mo said that, he turned around and left the study.

Xu Mo returned to his house and saw that Ling Que was not in the room at this time, so he called Bing'er to ask.

"Binger, where is your princess?" Xu Mo asked hurriedly.

"Sir, the princess is taking a bath. She will be here soon. Have you had dinner?" Bing'er asked quickly.

"Oh, I've eaten at the prince's place. I'm fine. You can go down and rest." Xu Mo waved his hand to signal Bing'er to leave.

After a while, Ling Que came to the bedroom after taking a bath. Her long hair was black and shiny, and her body exuded the fragrance of roses from time to time. When Xu Mo saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his beloved, not to mention how excited and at ease he felt in his heart.

"Ling Que, I want to tell you something?" Xu Mo said softly, looking down into Ling Que's eyes.

"What is it? Is it important? Looking at you looking so serious, it's probably not a good thing." Lingque lowered his head and smiled, gently stroking Xu Mo's collar.

"Your Majesty asked me to go to the border,..." Xu Mo explained the recent events in the court to Lingque and explained the reasons in detail.

"This matter, it's easy to handle. I'll go with you so that I can protect you better." Lingque's eyes were slightly raised and she looked at Xu Mo with a smile.

"Are you really willing to join me? It's just that this military camp is full of men. I'm afraid you won't be used to it." Xu Mo asked with a worried look on his face.

"It's nothing. As long as you are here, I will be the same wherever I am. Let alone the military camp, I have lived in the mountains for thousands of years. How can I be as delicate as an ordinary woman?" Lingque lowered his head and let out a sweet sound. of laughter.

"Fool, the past is the past. Now that you are my Xu Mo's wife, how can I let you go back to your previous life?" Xu Mo lightly scratched Lingque's little mouth with his hand and said with a smile.

"Since you choose to stay with me, I should treat you well and not treat you badly. Being able to marry you is a blessing that I have spent my whole life practicing." After saying this, Xu Mo looked at Ling with gentle eyes. Que, his hands wrapped around her waist.

"It's best if you think like that. If one day you fall in love with someone else, let's see how I deal with you." Ling Que changed the topic and glanced at Xu Mo. He turned around and got away from the shackles of Xu Mo's hands and stood up. Behind his back.

Xu Mo scratched his brow with his hand angrily and helplessly, turned around and asked Ling Que.

"The few love words I had finally brewed up were interrupted by your sudden words. How do you want me to continue talking?"

"What I'm telling you is the truth. Everyone knows that you mortals are the most fickle, especially when it comes to relationships. How do I know if you will treat me like this all your life?" Lingque pouted, with a trace of emotion in his eyes. of anxiety and confusion.

"Lingque, I, Xu Mo, swear to God that in my eyes you will be yours in this life, in the next life, and in all my lifetimes. From the first moment I saw you, I will never tolerate any woman in my eyes." After saying that, Xu Mo held Lingque in his arms.
