Reborn on the wedding night, the regent princess said she knew she was wrong

"The emperor has been unwilling to give a clear answer, and I really can't do anything about this matter." Long Tianque looked at the chessboard and saw that the winner had been decided. He took advantage of the end of the game to bring the topic back to the thorny issue they had discussed before.

Xuan Ming, who was sitting opposite, heard this and couldn't help but sigh deeply: "I really don't know how to say you... Never mind, if that's the case, then let's send some people to the Dark Abyss Continent to give them a little warning."

Before he finished speaking, Long Tianque suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted excitedly, "Hey, this job is perfect for me. I will go there myself and bring some capable men with me. I will definitely be able to make those guys behave themselves and obey them completely."

Because Long Tianque stood up so quickly, he actually scared the unprepared Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming was stunned at first, then he glared at Long Tianque fiercely and said angrily, "You reckless guy, can you be a little more gentle? You must bring Shadow with you on this trip. He conveyed my will."

Upon hearing this, Long Tianque waved his hand and tried to dissuade him, saying, "That's not necessary. The journey is long and it will take at least several months to go back and forth. What if you don't have Shadow by your side to protect you? If anything goes wrong, I will be held responsible."

However, facing Long Tianque's concerns, Xuan Ming only raised one eyebrow slightly and responded slowly:

"Don't worry. After Shadow's careful training, Yingzhu and Yingmei are now able to take charge. I have reliable people around me to dispatch. But for you, the long journey will be very tiring. You should rest for a few days before setting off."

Seeing Xuan Ming's firm attitude, Long Tianque knew that it was useless to say more, so he nodded obediently and agreed.

Then the two stopped talking and focused on the chess game in front of them again.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the clear and pleasant sound of chess pieces falling on the board, occasionally mixed with the two people's whispered conversations and thoughts.

Before he knew it, a new game ended, and Long Tianque slowly stood up, said goodbye to Xuanming and left.

Long Tianque slowly stepped out of the imperial study, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something important, turned around abruptly, and quickly returned to the house.

He said seriously, "Oh, I almost forgot to ask, how should we deal with that traitor? In the past few years, you have been ill and unable to attend court. Now the court is no longer as peaceful and stable as it used to be. In my opinion, it is better to take this opportunity to make a big move, to shock the tiger and kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that those who have evil intentions will be afraid."

After hearing this, Xuan Ming, who was sitting at the desk, nodded slightly, then slowly stood up and moved behind the desk.

He gently flipped through the pile of documents and scrolls on the table, and soon pulled out a golden imperial edict.

He just waved his arm and threw the imperial edict straight towards Long Tianque like an arrow.

Seeing this, a hint of confidence flashed in Long Tianque's eyes. He quickly stretched out his slender and powerful right arm, and easily caught the imperial edict that was flying towards him in his hand as if taking something from a bag.

Then, he couldn't wait to unfold the imperial edict and read it carefully.

As his eyes quickly swept over the imperial edict, Long Tianque's originally tense expression gradually relaxed. In the end, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and broke into a grin.

"Haha, it turns out you have been prepared for a long time, you are really amazing." Long Tianque said to Xuan Ming with a smile on his face.

At this time, Xuan Ming had already walked in front of Long Tianque. He reached out and took back the imperial edict that Long Tianque had read. His expression was serious and solemn, and he responded in a deep voice:

"Yes, the imperial edict will be read out in public during the morning court tomorrow. At the same time, I have arranged for the Xuanwei to conduct a detailed investigation in secret. Right now, the court really needs to be properly rectified to eliminate those parasites that are eroding the foundation of the country."

After hearing this, Long Tianque nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, then patted Xuanming on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, since everything has been properly arranged, I am completely relieved. I'll take my leave first, remember to say hello to my sister-in-law for me. This time I have carefully selected a lot of precious gifts from the distant Holy Dome Continent for her, you must not be jealous of this!"

After saying that, Long Tianque turned around and strode out of the imperial study, leaving Xuan Ming alone standing there quietly, looking thoughtfully in the direction he left.

When Xuan Ming returned to the Queen's Palace, he saw the yard filled with red lacquered wooden boxes. As he looked at this scene, veins on his forehead bulged.

Mu Zhi was looking through those strange things in the yard with great interest. She caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure out of the corner of her eye and knew that Xuan Ming had come.

She turned around and smiled at Xuan Ming, "Your brother is really generous. He gave us so many gifts, saying that they were gifts to make up for our wedding. In addition, he also gave us gifts in advance for the birth of our nephew. Is he going on another long journey?"

Seeing that Mu Zhi was very interested in those strange things from other continents, Xuan Ming stopped being jealous for a moment.

"Well, he has to go to the Dark Abyss Continent. The Dark Abyss Continent helped Ghost Continent and Void Continent to deal with Xumi Continent. Now the soldiers of Ghost Continent and Void Continent have surrendered. After all, Ghost Continent and Void Continent have been destroyed, and these soldiers were directly incorporated into Xumi. But the Dark Abyss Continent still exists, and the Sixth Prince of the Dark Abyss is still in Xumi Continent. This matter needs to be discussed in the Dark Abyss Continent."

Mu Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "It would be fine to send an envoy. Why does it need General Long to go in person? Isn't this just making a fuss out of nothing?"

Xuan Ming chuckled, "You and I think the same thing, but Long Tianque asked to go there on his own initiative. He likes to do things like bullying others, so I'll just let him go. Anyway, there's nothing else to do here."

"You've spoiled him. The Void Continent and the Ghost Continent have been destroyed, and people need to be sent over to clean up the mess. It's the time to use people, but you agreed to let him go and pass the message." Mu Zhi looked down at the gadgets in the box again and said to Xuan Ming with a smile.

Xuan Ming supported Mu Zhi and said, "You are pregnant now, and bending down will make you tired. Go inside. I will have someone sort out all these things and put them inside. You can take your time to look at them."

Mu Zhi leaned on him and said, "The imperial physician said that although I am already pregnant, I still need to walk around more so that I can have less pain during childbirth. Don't worry about it. The imperial physician and I have a plan. I think it will snow in the next two days, so put these things in the side hall. I will go for a walk when I want to take a look."

Seeing Mu Zhi's insistence, Xuan Ming said nothing more. "I was too busy with government affairs to take care of you. I wanted to ask the imperial physician about your condition two days ago, but a snowstorm occurred in the southwest, and the ministers were urgently summoned to discuss disaster relief. This matter was put on hold. Don't take it to heart. I will accompany you after I am done with my work."

Mu Zhi stood up, patted his hands, and said with a smile, "The ones in my belly and those outside the palace are all your people. You should treat them equally. Although there are blood ties, it can only be a concern, not an obstacle. Xuanming, you are a wise ruler. Even I can't hinder you, otherwise I will feel guilty. You have done enough for me. I am very satisfied and happy. Just go and do your thing. As long as you look back, the child and I will always be behind you to accompany you."

Xuan Ming married her, a sickly girl, despite the pressure from all the civil and military officials in the court, and later abolished the selection system. Now she is the only one in the harem. As the emperor, he has done so many extraordinary things for her, and this is enough.

"Thank you for always being so considerate of me. I'm sorry that you've suffered because of my pregnancy." Xuan Ming's eyes were filled with a barely perceptible heartache.

Mu Zhi glanced at the group of palace maids standing not far away, and said with a smile, "Why should I work so hard? You know, after I became pregnant, I found many palace maids to serve me. The small kitchen is also in my palace. Just tell me what you want to eat. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of. Even if I occasionally go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, the sedan chair beside me follows closely. Besides, this child is very well-behaved and doesn't make a fuss. I sleep well and eat well. Xuanming, I am not tired at all."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming looked at Mu Zhi deeply, and then he felt relieved. Just then, Ying Zhu came over and said that a minister was looking for him. Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming looked at Mu Zhi with some apology.

Mu Zhi let go of his hand and said, "Go quickly. I have never blamed you, and I am very glad that Xuan Cang has a wise ruler like you."

She was indeed lucky to marry such a man.

Although he spent very little time with her, he was benevolent and loved the people like his own children. He had a kind heart that was sincere but sharp.

She also knew about the snowstorm.

The snowstorm in the southwest was very serious. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow and supplies from nearby could not be transported in. If people rashly dug the snow to open a road, it would cause an avalanche. Not only would they not be able to save people, but they would also lose the lives of other people. The ministers were at a loss as to what to do.

He sent people to get a map of the disaster area overnight, studied the drawings for a whole night, and told his plan to the ministers at the court the next morning. After the court, he kept a few ministers to discuss the specific details. He appointed a military governor and went to count the relief supplies in person. He took time to deal with other memorials at night. He was busy for several days in a row, and the dark circles under his eyes were unbearable to look at.

It was not until Imperial Tutor Mu entered the palace and took over some of the government affairs that Xuan Ming was able to take some time out from his busy schedule and have a good sleep.

There are so many things in the world waiting for him to deal with. This winter is particularly cold. There have been considerable disturbances in several cold and bitter places. In addition, he has to deal with the affairs of the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent. He is very busy.

Even though he was too busy to rest, he still thought about her and would send the imperial kitchen to stew soup for her from time to time. Mu Zhi had never blamed him in her heart.

After Xuan Ming left, Mu Zhi watched the palace servants move all the things to the side hall. Nanny Liu also sent people to find a lot of cloth strips to wrap the angular boxes with layer upon layer, for fear that Mu Zhi would accidentally knock them.

Mu Zhi looked at the greatly changed side hall, and felt warm in her heart, "Thank you for your concern, Madam Liu. I just can't sit still."

Mu Zhi's temperament did change a little during her pregnancy, but Nanny Liu never complained. She treated her like her own daughter and took care of everything concerning Mu Zhi herself.

"Your Highness, that's not true. I'm just afraid that you'll keep everything in your heart and won't say it out. It'll make you sick. I hope you'll complain about this and that every day. At least you can say it out. You'll feel better. If you have any complaints, just tell me. I'll be happy."

This remark caused Xi Que, who was supporting Mu Zhi, to laugh secretly, "Madame Liu is just worried that the Madam is not making enough noise."

Mu Zhi also knew that Aunt Liu really enjoyed it. She was suffering from morning sickness and wanted to eat sour food one moment and sweet food the next. She complained that food was not sour enough, sweet enough or spicy enough. Aunt Liu listened to her complaints, but not only did she not think she was meddling, but she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

The small kitchen became Aunt Liu's exclusive kitchen, where she prepared all kinds of exquisite food for her.

Thanks to Aunt Liu's care, she was able to live a happy life during the two months of morning sickness, and even became a little plumper.

Xuan Ming was so happy that he wanted to reward Aunt Liu greatly, but Aunt Liu refused with a cold face, thinking that Xuan Ming would hurt her feelings by rewarding her.

Xuan Ming was troubled by this for a few days. Mu Zhi suggested asking the people in the Clothing Bureau to make two sets of comfortable clothes for Madam Liu and give them to her. She would definitely be happy.

Nanny Liu did collect the clothes happily.

"These days, the ones who have worked the hardest are Xi Que and Madam Liu. You are the ones who worry about my food and my clothes. At night, when the emperor is not here, Xi Que is the one who keeps watch over me. Thank you for your hard work."

Nanny Liu and Xi Que looked at Mu Zhi disapprovingly.

Mu Zhi chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's stop talking. How about this, let's eat hot pot tonight? The emperor probably won't be here today, so let's eat hot pot together around the stove tonight, okay? Madam Liu is the best."

Mu Zhi started to act coquettishly as she spoke. Aunt Liu couldn't stand Mu Zhi acting coquettishly with her.

"Okay, okay, I'll cook myself. No, I'll prepare it now and stew the soup first. Stew it for a while longer so that it will be more comfortable to drink in the evening." After saying this, Nanny Liu walked quickly towards the small kitchen.

Mu Zhi called her but she didn't respond.

"Xi Que, have I been too spoiled?" Mu Zhi stared blankly at Aunt Liu's brisk back.

The magpie smiled softly, her eyes full of mischief, "Your Majesty, your mind is as clear as a mirror, isn't it clear? As long as you act a little coquettishly to Aunt Liu, even if you want the stars hanging high in the sky right now, she will immediately find a ladder without hesitation and do everything she can to pick them down for you."

After hearing what Xi Que said, Mu Zhi couldn't help but blush, and said coquettishly: "You girl only know how to tease me. Actually, it's not that I don't want to ask Madam Liu for help, but I'm a little afraid that she will nag me again."

Last time, in the middle of the night, Mu Zhi suddenly craved for the sour soup, so she whispered a few words to the maid beside her. Who would have thought that the sharp-eared Madam Liu heard it. As a result, she ran to the kitchen without saying a word and stewed a big pot of fragrant sour soup.

When she excitedly made the pot of soup and brought it to Mu Zhi, Mu Zhi was so moved that she burst into tears, which frightened Aunt Liu, who kept nagging her for a long time.
