Empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty

After a lapse of one month, Ashina returned to Fengyi Hall.The Palace of Fengyi has not changed in the slightest, and the palace people are doing their own things very dutifully.It's just that when the master came back, he was a little happy and cleaned up the inside and outside of Fengyi Hall.After a few words of warning, she was relieved to hand over the palace affairs to Aliya.Ashina sat on the soft seat and thought about it carefully. Sure enough, there was something wrong with that woman, Li Ezi.However, the more I feel that there is a problem with a person, but when there is no breakthrough, it will inevitably lead to anxiety.

"Empress, Princess Zhener and Princess Huier are here."

Has been busy with his own affairs, Ashina suddenly realized that he seemed to have neglected these two children for a long time, and felt somewhat guilty.He softened his heart and said, "Let them in."

"Yes."

"The Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother."

Zhen'er is still chubby, nothing has changed.Huier, on the other hand, grew up fast, and her five sense organs began to grow.It's not pretty, but it's comfortable to look at.

Zhen'er has never had any rules with Ashina, so she saluted very naturally and leaned over her whole body, like a little pet begging for petting, she rubbed against her, and said, "Empress, Zhen'er misses you. You haven't been there for a long time." See you Zhen'er."

"It's my fault, I apologize to you here." Ashina patted her little head and replied.I once thought of having a child who was as lovely as Zhen'er, but the extravagant wish was an extravagant wish after all.

"Sister Zhen'er, my mother has a lot of things to do, don't be coquettish." After all, Hui'er does not have the status of Zhen'er, so she dare not be too presumptuous.Although she also likes the empress, she must abide by the etiquette.

"Enen, I got it." Zhen'er replied on the one hand, but on the other hand, she didn't show any intention of shifting her position.The little horse told her that the empress must be very sad because she just lost her baby.When Zhen'er is sad, as long as the little horse hugs her, she will not be sad, so Zhen'er also hugs the empress.Thinking about it, the short and thick hands wrapped around Ashina's arm, getting closer.

Ashina didn't pay attention either, she just thought it was really a long time since she had seen her, and she really missed her.There was a tinge of relief in my heart, but fortunately, it was not like the previous life.

"Okay, Alia looks like I'm going to trouble you to cook for our little Zhen'er again today."

"It is my honor to be able to cook for the princess. This servant will go down now."

"Go."

3 people, sitting around.Ashina quietly listened to their report on the recent situation.

"Empress, Zhen'er heard that Sister Hui'er's father has already started looking for a husband for her sister. Then when my sister has a husband, will she leave the palace?"

"Why, reluctant?" Ashina was a little funny, the two of them were best friends on weekdays, and they might be reluctant to part.However, the two of them are still young, even if they got engaged, Hui'er might have to stay in the palace for a few more years.

"Yeah. Although Sister Hui'er likes books more than Zhen'er, Zhen'er likes Sister Hui'er."

Such blunt words made Dou Hui blush, she has always been thin-skinned.He just blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Daddy said, get engaged first, and wait until a few years later."

"Oh, Prime Minister Dou has someone in mind? I don't know which family's son it is?"

"It's the son of Tang Guogong's Li family. I heard that the people over there brought it up first..." Hui'er's face became even more red, and the roots of her ears also began to turn red.

The Li family, Tang Guogong.Isn't that Dugu Jialuo's nephew, Li Yuan?I saw it when I was out of the palace a month ago, and Ashina's expression darkened instantly.She is an aspiring child, but it's a pity that she has something to do with the person she dislikes the most.Moreover, the Li family offered to ask, could she think a little more, thinking that the Dugu family intended to win over Dou Yi?

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Dou Hui is not stupid, on the contrary, her vision sometimes has a vision that children of the same age do not have.

"No, I'm thinking about Li Yuan. He's a pretty good boy after meeting him once. He's neither arrogant nor impetuous."

Although Ashina gave a pertinent evaluation, I intuitively felt that the Queen Mother didn't like Li Yuan very much, and Dou Hui was not stupid, so she kept her mouth shut and didn't ask any more questions.Afterwards, they changed the topic, chatted about homework, had dinner together, and were led back to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Ah Da is back." Seeing the princess and princess leaving, A Liya reported the news from the secret guard to Ashina.

Ashina glanced around, and ordered to the maids who were busy cleaning: "Okay, you all go down."

"Yes."

Leave one by one until there are only two people left in the hall.A Liya opened his mouth again and said: "Ada did not find any information about Concubine Li in Jiangling. One thing is, the eunuch Zhang Bao next to Concubine Li also left the palace not long after the empress left the palace. He entered a private house in Chang'an, Then a young man rode away on a horse and went all the way to Jiankang."

"Jiankang?"

"Yes."

Ashina played with the nail cover, thinking slowly.Jiankang is the capital of Chen State.This Li Ezi is not from Jiangling, and her whole family was brought to Chang'an back then, so it is possible that Jiankang still has relatives.Chen Guo, Jiankang, assassination, Li Ezi's words.The clues are strung together, and the conclusion is not far away.The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and Ashina looked at the ground jokingly, as if something was wrong, or as if he was eyeing some prey and was about to kill it.

"However, Ah Da came to report, saying that during the investigation process, another force was encountered, and it seems to be investigating the same thing." A Liya was a little puzzled. When they came out, could anyone still be interested in Concubine Li? no?

"Let him come back. Don't expose it." The other force is probably from Yu Wenyong's people.She still can't expose the power of the dark guard to Yu Wenyong.It's just that Ashina didn't know that Ah Da had been exposed a long time ago and reported it to the language gods, but Yuwen gods thought it was the Queen's person, so they simply kept it a secret.He felt that if the emperor knew about this matter, there would be a estrangement between the two of them, so it was better to keep it a secret.

"Yes."

"and also......"

"Anything else? There's really a lot going on today."

"This is Mu Ye's business." Aliya didn't know whether to say it, but she still had the letter she had entrusted from Qi State in her hand.In my memory, that girl had nothing against me.After all, A Liya is a soft-hearted person, and she is also clear about Qi's affairs.King Lanling was stabbed to death, and Mu Ye passed away as the princess of Zhou State. Although she couldn't be killed, she was placed under house arrest in Qi State. She was not of real royal blood, and no one would think of such a person.So I can't bear it.

"Mu Ye?"

"Yes. Mu Ye entrusted the letter sent by that person, saying that it must be delivered to the empress."

Ashina took the letter, and Mu Ye was a woman she admired quite a bit, but unfortunately, she couldn't use it for herself, so she later made a favor and made her a princess.She lived up to expectations and finally kicked Yang Xuewu away.Focusing on this, she gave Mu Ye patience and read the letter.After that, Ashina recalled her decision countless times. Fortunately, she read it, otherwise she would have missed such a great opportunity.

There is only a short line in the letter to introduce her situation and the purpose of writing the letter.

Mu Ye was pregnant, and she wanted to leave Qi State in a fair manner.In return, she gave what she had in hand—the real method of making gunpowder, and a report on the adaptation of the army.Ashina doesn't know chemistry, let alone military affairs, but since that confident woman dared to exchange it, it must be something of value.Regardless of whether King Lanling is dead or not, since Mu Ye intends to take refuge in her and stand on Zhou Guo's side, of course she will give this a chance.

A Liya observed the empress's expression, there was nothing special, and she was not sure what her master's attitude was, so she could only pray for Mu Ye silently in her heart.

After a long time, Ashina finally opened his mouth, and said to Aliya: "Change clothes for me, and go to the emperor."

"Yes."

Ashina thought that the value of this letter still needs to be judged by Yu Wenyong.If he likes it, then he doesn't need to worry about everything.

Taking the letter with him, Ashina went to the Emperor Zhou's bedroom.

"The Empress is here."

As soon as the person arrived, he found a woman who was dressed as a court lady, but was thrown out of the bedroom by the whole person in disheveled clothes.Very unglamorous head over the ground, just in front of Ashina's toes.what's the situation?Didn't come at the right time?

Wang Youcai wiped off his sweat, what is the situation.Which court lady actually dared to seduce the emperor while the emperor was taking a bath?Don't you know that the emperor puts all his heart on the empress and doesn't care about her beauty at all?No, it must have angered the emperor.Ah, why is the empress here?Shouldn't you have to drop the news to inquire about the crime?

"The servant sees the empress." He hurriedly knelt down, his forehead was wet again just after wiping off the sweat.

"Get up. Prince, what is this?"

"This is just a disobedient slave. Come here, hurry up and drag him down, don't stain the eyes of the empress."

As expected of Wang Youcai serving in front of the palace, his reaction was really faster than ordinary people.Soon, a few young eunuchs came over and carried away the maid who was still crying and hadn't recovered.

"Has the emperor ever been inside?" Ashina didn't think too much about it, but she was a restless servant who cared about such things when she was not free.

"Yes." Wang Youcai led Ashina in, while the rest of the people waited peacefully outside.Leading Ashina towards the side hall, thinking about Mu Ye's letter, Ashina didn't notice that he was led to the bathroom in the side hall next door.Seeing that Wang Youcai would not go in at the door, he pushed the door open by himself.

Yu Wenyong was disturbed by the previous maid, so there is no elegance in taking a bath.Knowing that someone came in, thinking about what happened just now, Wang Youcai would not be so stupid as to let someone come in casually.It seems that he is becoming more and more considerate in serving others, knowing that he is not in the mood to take a bath, so he came in early to serve him undressed.So, he walked out of the luxurious bathhouse naked, but when he saw clearly, the person in front was actually the queen! !She saluted herself, squatted halfway, and then raised her head defenselessly.

Strong bronzed muscles, tight waistline, and... Ashina was completely stupid.
