Empress and Empress

Yuan Xingye and the others returned to the military camp in Youzhou. At this time, the sky was already light and everyone was very tired. Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo didn't want to go back to the prefect's mansion to face the imperial envoys.

Yuan Xingye didn't say anything along the way, Xia Zimo took the antidote, rode his horse and followed Yuan Xingye's horse.Pei Shiyuan had already gone to heal his injuries, and Shen Bing followed suit.

Back at the barracks, the two entered the tent.Luo Yan knew that Xia Hanqiu was dead, so she went to arrange new soldiers.

"Are you angry with me?" Xia Zimo asked.Yuan Xingye pulled her to the side of the bed and shook his head.

"Then why don't you talk?" Xia Zimo was puzzled, Yuan Xingye hugged her suddenly, and buried his head in Xia Zimo's neck. "Zimo, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

She had been blaming herself since Xia Zimo was arrested, but after saving Xia Zimo, Xia Zimo was still under threat of death, but she didn't know it at all.For the first time, I felt really useless.

Feeling the strength of the hands on her waist increase, Xia Zimo shook her head, "Then you have to watch me closely next time." She hugged Yuan Xingye's waist.All the worries and fears along the way, now I can finally take a good rest.Knowing that Yuan Xingye was not angry, Xia Zimo only felt extremely tired.Can't wait to fall asleep right away.

"Go to sleep." Yuan Xingye lay down holding her.The two embraced and fell asleep.As for the imperial envoy, let him wait.

Liang Ming, the prefect of Youzhou, is now Xia Zimo's confidant. He soon found out that they had returned. He was naturally happy, because the imperial envoy had already demolished his prefect's mansion, but he didn't expect to wait until the afternoon. At that time, Xia Zimo hadn't appeared yet.

Liang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead. If possible, he really didn't want to face the imperial envoy inside.At the door stood about ten men in Custodian uniforms.Seeing Liang Ming, he didn't stop him.

Knocking on the door, the person inside shouted, "Come in." Walking through the door, a woman dressed as a noble concubine sat on the front seat, and behind the woman stood several court ladies and several eunuchs.The woman was drinking tea, and when she heard the sound of entering the door, she didn't even lift her head.

Liang Ming didn't dare to speak, so he had to stand below with his hands down. If it was yesterday, he would still be a little uneasy. After all, Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye didn't know who died, and he couldn't get rid of it.But now that Xia Zimo has returned, he also has a lot of confidence.

"Master Liang, I wonder when Xia Jianjun will return?" the woman said.

"Returning to Concubine Xian, Xia Jianjun and Marshal went to inspect the front line and will be back soon." Liang Ming said.He also felt a little helpless, this Yuan Xingye's martial arts and intelligence are among the dragons and phoenixes in the world, he can be worthy of a great job, and it is very suitable to be a marshal.Xia Zimo is gentle and thoughtful.The position of supervisor is also well deserved.

This is the virtuous concubine Yu Wenlan who is far worse than the two of them. I don't know why Emperor He thought of sending her to be the supervisor.

Little did they know that the harem was turned upside down after the counselors arranged by the military division came in to remonstrate.Xia Zimo belonged to the empress's family, so the empress wanted to send her people to find out. It would be best to find out that Yuan Xingye intentionally killed Xia Zimo, and then get rid of Yuan Xingye.Concubine Li Gui naturally hoped to send her own people.

After the final fight, Emperor He sent Concubine Xian.This caused an uproar in the imperial court. After all, the harem was not allowed to participate in politics, and Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo were considered exceptions. Unexpectedly, Emperor He, the imperial envoy, also chose someone from the harem.

This kind of partiality to Concubine Li's family, everyone said that Emperor He didn't want to harm Yuan Xingye, but they didn't know that Concubine Xian had already received a hint from Concubine Li, and it was best for Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye to get rid of them together.After all, Concubine Li Gui didn't want someone like Yuan Xingye to exist.

"Oh, inspection? But why did I hear that something happened to Xia Jianjun, and I haven't come to see me for so long, aren't I afraid that I will blame you?" Concubine Xian sneered.She was half-believing at first, but Xia Zimo hadn't seen her for so long, so she believed most of it.

After all, no one wants to neglect imperial envoys!

Liang Ming felt helpless, he knew in his heart that Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo probably didn't take this concubine seriously at all.

Thinking of the elegance and demeanor of those two people, they are definitely not people who have lived under others for a long time.

"Also, this place is really too simple, and I'm really not used to staying here." Concubine Xian said.Liang Ming looked at the changed residence after Concubine Xian came, feeling a little helpless.These things are considered luxurious in his eyes, but Concubine Xian can't tell that they are simple.

"Youzhou is a place of hundreds of battles. It's really simple. My lord, forgive me." Liang Ming knew what the concubine Xian was thinking. Although he was willing to attach himself to Xia Zimo, it didn't mean he could violate other principles.Besides, Youzhou really doesn't have much money, he doesn't want to oppress the people to serve this concubine who doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

Concubine Xian looked at Liang Ming who was bending over to speak, and said, "It's useless." Then she shook the silk in her hand and said, "Xia Zimo hasn't come yet, it seems that there is something wrong with leaving a message, so I will give it to you." The emperor has written a memorial."

Liang Ming said, "The supervising army will be back soon, please wait a moment." He knew in his heart that Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo belonged to Youzhou now, even if the concubine Xian wrote the memorial, whether to send it or not is another matter.

Concubine Xian lazily stretched her waist, the maid behind her obediently stepped forward and beat her back, Concubine Xian yawned, "Cui'er, please tell Mrs. Liang about the rules of this palace. I came here in a hurry yesterday, and I haven't been here yet." Said it well."

"Yes." Another court lady came out, and Liang Ming saluted and followed the court lady out of the room.The court lady named Cui Er said, "My lady drinks scented tea every morning. We brought the tea by ourselves. The water should be the dew of the lotus in the morning. One bowl will make three bowls. My lady's favorite dish is duck tongue, which must be eaten every day." If you want to have a good meal, you only need the tip of the tongue from the old duck.”

"The water for washing your face every day should be mountain spring water, and you should put peony petals on it after three boils and three cooling times. Also, the empress likes to eat roasted suckling pigs, so they should be roasted with pearls, and no other wood can be used."

Liang Ming felt his head buzzing when he heard the maid's words.But the sixth-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, he really didn't dare to offend the maid, so he had to listen obediently.

This court lady is usually just an ordinary court lady in the palace, but when she arrives in Youzhou, she dares to be arrogant because she is the person next to Concubine Xian.Liang Ming had no choice but to simply agree and leave.

In less than a day, the entire prefect's mansion was in chaos, and Liang Ming didn't dare to offend, so he had to use his official duties to hide.On the other hand, Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo slept soundly for a whole day.

The next morning, Yuan Xingye got up early, and the new soldiers brought her and Xia Zimo the clothes they wanted to change. The two ate something and then went to deal with military affairs.

It has been about 20 days since I left. Although Luoyan is in charge of some military affairs, Yuan Xingye has to look at many of them. Xia Zimo went to see Yuan Dong and the others.

After being poisoned, the four were also seriously injured in order to protect her from escaping. The greatest luck was that their lives were saved, and now they can move freely.Seeing Xia Zimo hurriedly greeted him.Yuan Xingye asked the four of them to pay for their merits and to protect Xia Zimo in the future.

At this time, Luoyan came over and said that Liu Xiao, the housekeeper in the prefect's mansion, asked to see him. Liu Xiao was the first direct descendant Xia Zimo accepted here. When she came back, Liu Xiao would naturally come to see her.Liang Ming also knew about it.

Liu Xiao was very excited to see Xia Zimo, and Xia Zimo's heart moved. Although he knew that part of the reason for Liu Xiao was because he was involved in his future career path, he still felt warm.

Yuan Xingye was right, only he couldn't do anything.

"See your lord."

"Get up! What happened in Youzhou recently?" Xia Zimo asked.Liu Xiao thought for a while, "It's nothing special, it's just that the mansion is not very peaceful after Concubine Xian came, and Mr. Liang is helpless."

Xia Zimo snorted, and Liu Xiao talked about Concubine Xian.There was a gleam in her eyes. "Although Concubine Xian is ranked as the fourth concubine, she cannot be arrogant in Youzhou." After speaking, he called Yuan Dong and whispered something in Yuan Dong's ear.Yuan Dong took the order and left.

"You go back and pay attention to the movements in Youzhou City." Xia Zimo explained something, and Liu Xiao also bowed and retreated.

Concubine Xian---you came just in time.Xia Zimo laughed.Her nature is not to step on others to climb up, but after experiencing so much, she has already changed her view.Apart from Yuan Xingye, what else can't be given up now?
