Xu Zhi nodded, enjoying hearing others praise Xue Qingyin.

While talking, the maid suddenly walked up to Xu Zhi, lowered her voice, and whispered a few words to her.

Xu Zhi stood up immediately.

Xu Qi hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "I remembered that I should ask the messenger to bring something back to Yizhou."

Xu Qi slapped her thigh: "Oh! That's right! Look at my memory, then hurry up..."

Xu Zhi said: "I'll just go and you can eat."

Xu Qi was originally very enthusiastic and was afraid that she would not have a chance to express herself. But when she thought about it, only Xu Zhi knew Qingyin's preferences and current needs better...

"Then go quickly." Xu Qi said.

"Um."

Xu Zhi walked quickly back to her courtyard. After entering the door, she turned out of the side door and came to the small door of Xu's house.

She raised her hand to open the door and said helplessly: "Why do you always take this door?"

The weather is already getting colder, but there is not a drop of sweat on the visitor's forehead.

Only the wet temples revealed how much sweat he had shed along the way.

It's exactly Ning Que.

He sighed and said, "Take the main entrance?" He paused and said, "I want to, but I can't."

Xu Zhi was helpless and felt funny in her heart.

"I heard that Princess Xuan didn't keep that pregnancy..." He moved his lips and said in a low tone while looking at Xu Zhi's expression.

Xu Zhi suddenly said: "You are looking for me because of this matter."

"I think you may be sad..."

"It doesn't matter, she is much better now. It would be better to get pregnant after leaving the capital." Xu Zhi said in a calm tone.

Ning is indeed a smart man, so he doesn't ask any more questions when he sees the situation.

Xu Zhi remembered something and asked, "Is the King of Wei dead?"

Ning Que responded: "Yes."

Xu Zhi frowned and said nothing.

Ning Que took the initiative and asked: "Are you worried that His Majesty suspects that King Xuan did it?"

Xu Zhi sighed: "Yeah." She really didn't understand the twists and turns of the royal family, but fortunately there was Ning Chu who could ask.

"No." Ning Que said firmly: "The reward sent out of Beijing is the best proof."

Xu Zhi was puzzled.

But I think Ning really won't fool her.

"Then I'm relieved, you can go back." Xu Zhi said.

Ning Que stood still without moving.

Xu Zhi looked at him and felt that he was not very talkative. He had walked so much and avoided so many people before he came here... He only said a few words, and all the questions he asked were about Qing Yin.

If something happened, he sent the person away.

Xu Zhi hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked the maid to bring him a bowl of herbal tea.

Ning Que took it with both hands, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "It's a holy thing to relieve summer heat. Thank you madam."

Xu Zhi: "...are you leaving?"

Ning Que paused and said, "Madam, you don't have to worry too much about the death of King Wei."

Xu Zhi said happily: "You want to mediate in the court?"

Ning Que hesitated and said: "I... can't. But please believe me, madam. This matter will definitely be fine." He thought for a moment and then added: "If you have a trump card, you can't let it out at the beginning."

Xu Zhi seemed to have a clear understanding: "Take it out at the critical moment to maximize the benefits... The same is true in business."

Ning Que breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."

Xu Zhi paused, turned around and said, "Get some more snacks."

Then she gave the snack to Ning Que.

Ning Que took it and held it in his hand. He didn't say goodbye, but turned around and walked into the night again.

Xu Zhi also went back to continue eating the Bo Xia offering.

The maid followed her closely and whispered: "This man is indeed more useful than the master..."

Xu Zhi laughed out loud and glanced at her angrily: "Don't talk nonsense in front of others."

The maid smiled and said: "I have been following you for many years. You know that I can control my mouth in front of others."

Xu Zhi smiled helplessly and walked forward, her steps gradually becoming more brisk.

Xu Zhi was really ready to take something with her to Yizhou.

In addition to the ones for King Xuan and Xue Qingyin, there are also some for He Songning.

I wonder if An Ning will be implicated if King Wei dies... Xu Zhi frowned and suppressed the worries in her heart.

The next day.

Mrs. Liu came to Prince Wei's Mansion to visit her daughter.

Everyone in the palace felt like mourning their heirs.

Liu Yuerong seemed to be seriously ill again, leaning against the bed, in a daze.

Mrs. Liu grabbed her shoulders and said in a deep voice: "The matter is now over, no matter whether you cry or make trouble, your husband will not come back from the dead."

Mrs. Liu said with an ugly face: "Even...the Liu family has lost hope since then following the Wei Palace."

Liu Yuerong came back to her senses and pushed Mrs. Liu's hand away: "Are you still worried about the future of the Liu family now?"

"Isn't it right? Yuerong, you married the wrong person, and the whole family will be affected!" After Mrs. Liu said this, she calmed down her anger, "Now you have to think about how to find a way out for yourself... "

"How to plot?" Liu Yuerong murmured, "Everyone is gone, how to plot? I won't have a second child."

"Who said there won't be another one?" Mrs. Liu said in a calm tone.

Liu Yuerong sat up and realized: "You mean...Qiao Xinyu?"

Mrs. Liu frowned: "No... you can't let her return to the capital alive. Her father did not die in this war, and he will still be a military governor in the future. She has her father as her backing and her heirs..."

Liu Yuerong smiled coldly and interrupted: "I am the real wife, and I can take care of her under my knees."

Mrs. Liu scolded: "Idiot. The bond of flesh and blood, the connection of blood, how can I give up just because you raised me under your knees? The child will always know who his biological mother is. So... you can't keep it. If you want a child, just take it from me." From other places, just pick one up."

Liu Yuerong was startled.

Mrs. Liu was already a little impatient. How could she raise her daughter to be so stupid?

"How? You haven't thought about it yet? Everyone knows what King Xuan is capable of. It won't take many days to drive the Meng people back to their hometown. By then, Qiao Xinyu will return to the court with the army..."

Liu Yuerong was excited: "Yes, I want to kill her. While she is still in Yizhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away..."

Mrs. Liu thought for a moment and said, "Let's kill them on the road."

Liu Yuerong's thoughts were in a daze again: "It would be great if Xue Qingyin could be killed as well."

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "Why are you still thinking about being jealous of Princess Xuan? She is someone else's wife after all!"

Liu Yuerong covered her face and cried: "But...but why? My husband is dead. But her husband can win and get rewards. In the future, I will really be crushed by her and never be able to stand up again."

Mrs. Liu held her shoulders: "You're a worthless thing. The days are still long. I think in a few days, your mother-in-law will also be released. As long as she is not confused, she will know that she has to help."

you……"

Mrs. Liu pointed out the window, pointing to the majestic palace: "You can see it clearly. It doesn't matter to fight for a good husband, that is the final destination!"

Liu Yuerong was shocked.

Does mother mean that she...will become the empress dowager in the future?

*

After all, Qiao Teng was the governor of Yizhou. He was extremely familiar with Yizhou and even the prefectures and counties near Yizhou.

With him as a guide, King Xuan's army became even more powerful.

On the day when the reward arrived, he had already captured three cities in a row.

Along the way, the people all bowed their heads and kowtowed.

Hou Qiyun was horrified to see this while riding on his horse.

He suddenly realized that... after this military disaster, the soldiers and people of Yizhou respected King Xuan even more, even to the point of being submissive.

King Xuan did not need to wield his sword at the ferocious mountain people.
To be continued...
