In the eyes of the empress, Zhou An, who was a little guilty, could only give honest explanation.

"Bai Xiaokui... was seriously injured and unconscious during the mission, so I asked Master Miaoyan to go south and take Bai Xiaokui back to the capital..." After Zhou An finished speaking, he hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food, looking very hungry, tired and pitiful.

"You asked Master Miaoyan to pick up Bai Xiaokui? Master Miaoyan went?" The empress felt incredible, both of which were incredible. One was that Zhou An actually ordered Master Miaoyan, and the other was that Zhou An actually asked Master Miaoyan to pick up Bai Xiaokui.

You let the world's number one martial arts master pick up your lover?!

Is Bai Xiaokui so important?!

You shameless!

"I have agreed to Master Miaoyan for some things..." Zhou An whispered.

"Ha!" The empress sneered, about to be pissed to death.

She did not ask Zhou An what he agreed to Master Miaoyan because she knew the purpose of Master Miaoyan coming to the capital. Qing Wu once revealed to her that Zhou An's approach was not appropriate and also said some good things to the world.

The meaning of inside and outside is to ask the empress to persuade Zhou An, not to let Zhou An harm the world.

And on this matter, the empress did not make any statement to Qingwu.

The empress doesn't care about the world. Zhou An is doing a good job, and the empress doesn't want to interfere. She just cares about Zhou An asking Master Miaoyan to take over Bai Xiaokui.

It has been so long since Master Miaoyan lives in the Dongchang Yamen and is so mean to Zhou An that Zhou An should not agree to anything, otherwise Master Miaoyan will leave.

I haven't agreed for so long, but I never expected that for the sake of Bai Xiaokui, Zhou An changed his always insisted on the arrangements for the world.

"Bai Xiaokui was born and died for the imperial court. She was injured and was unconscious and did not wake up..." Zhou An felt that she should explain, but she couldn't continue.

"You said..." The empress was about to lose her temper.

"Sister, what's wrong with Bai Xiaokui?" Princess Yunjing suddenly spoke, her little eyes kept scanning the two of them, and she smelled an unusual breath.

The empress looked at Princess Yunjing, as if she had lost her anger, and her face calmed down, "It's nothing, eat yours, what are the kids asking about?"

"Where is it small..." Princess Yunjing didn't dare to talk back, and just muttered in a low voice.

She is the same age as Zhou An, and is only one year younger than the empress, of course not small.

Zhou An could see that the empress was not really relieved, but Princess Yunjing was here, so she was not easy to have an attack. After all, "family scandals should not be made public."

If she knew that as the emperor's sister, she could not control her own man, Zhou Andiu would not be embarrassed, and the empress would definitely be embarrassed.

The empress does not want the pure Princess Yunjing to know about such a bad thing.

"Sage, where is the chieftain of Jincha now?" Zhou An changed the topic and talked to the empress about his business.

"I am still at the Honglu Temple, and Jin Cha is always with him. I have also dispatched two thousand Tian Ce troops to station in the Honglu Temple." The empress said.

Zhou An nodded.

This configuration is OK.

Although there are two thousand more Tian Ce Army than before, the high priest Jincha is very different from before.

"I will go and have a look after the meal and ask him about some things." Zhou An said again.

"Don't you sleep?" The empress stared at Zhou An.

"Your Majesty, you care so much about me..." Zhou An grinned at the empress.

The empress, who was sulking with Zhou An, suddenly became even more angry. Zhou An was so angry.

"Don't laugh, there are vegetable leaves on your teeth, it's so disgusting!" the empress said disgusted.

"Sister, don't you eat it?" Princess Yunjing spoke again.

The empress was silent for a moment, but still picked up the chopsticks. She hadn't had dinner with Xiao Anzi for many days. Why did the empress come? It wasn't just for a "reunion dinner".

Even if you are angry, you still have to eat rice.

She didn't ask anyone else to serve her. The empress got up to serve the rice herself. Zhou An then stood up and wanted to take the bowl for her to serve. She hid for a while and did not let Zhou Ansheng go.

"Master, has something happened recently?" Zhou An seemed to have nothing to say.

"The war in the south... the refugees have already..." The empress spoke twice, all paused for a moment, and finally said: "There is a shortage of money, the court is a shortage of money!"

Money is not omnipotent, but money is absolutely impossible.

The problem lies in the money.

If the court had money, disaster relief would not be difficult, public resentment would not be great, there would be no poor people who could not survive to rebel, and the major families would have no basis for rebellion.

Zhou An was silent.

Money matters are not urgent.

In fact, it is a good thing for the Empress to answer like this, at least it shows that the internal situation in Donggan has not deteriorated further, otherwise the Empress would definitely say it.

"Xiao Anzi, do you still have to go into seclusion?" Princess Yunjing spoke again.

"Yes!" Zhou An nodded and said, "Depending on the situation, the affairs of the Northern Rong Tiannu... I need to think about it."

The night outside the window is thick.

This is supper.

Eat for a long time.

Zhou An ate a lot because the deficit was a bit big these days.

The empress was angry with Zhou An because of Bai Xiaokui's affairs, but not long after, she began to ask Zhou An about the treasure map of heaven and man again.

To Zhou An personally, this matter is the most important thing.

Zhou An didn't hide anything.

One wasteland vein has been opened, and eight more must be opened. When nine wasteland veins are opened, he will try to enter the world of the treasure map of heaven and man again, and after that... he can only take one step at a time.

Tatta.

The sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

"The little pavilion is here, I'll go and take a look." Zhou An got up directly, put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked out.

Dongdong!

"Factory." As the knock on the door, the sound of a small pavilion sounded outside the door.

I don’t know if Xiaotingzi heard that Zhou An had temporarily ended his retreat and reported, or if something happened to happen.

Zhou An opened the door and raised his hand to signal to the outside.

It means to say it outside.

Don't bother the Empress and Princess Yunjing for dinner.

Zhou An went out, Xiaotingzi turned around and followed Zhou An and walked to the yard.

"Man, this is an important information in the past few days. Also, White Lotus is back..." Xiaotingzi said.

Zhou An had just received several information documents that must be passed from Xiaoting, so he suddenly looked up at Xiaoting, then raised his hand and gestured a "shhh".

"When did you come back? Just come back?" Zhou An gathered voices, and only the small pavilion could hear them.

Xiaotingzi didn't know why Zhou An suddenly made it so mysterious, so he didn't dare to speak randomly, but just nodded.

White lotus refers to Bai Xiaokui.

What a coincidence!

Zhou An ended his retreat and Bai Xiaokui came back.

"Master Miaoyan escorted her back?" Zhou An sent a message to the secret again.

Xiaotingzi nodded again.

"But what else is urgent?" Zhou An asked again.

Xiaotingzi shook his head.

"Go!" Zhou An said, turning back to the door with the document.

He pushed the door and entered the hall. Zhou An, who was holding a stack of intelligence documents in his hand, walked towards the table and said, "Master, I have to go to the Dongchang Yamen..."

"Who is the White Lotus?" the empress asked directly with her eyes squinted.

She was indeed eavesdropping!

Tiangang's ears are spiritual.

A woman's intuition is terrible.

"Well... it's Bai Xiaokui." Zhou An could only admit it.

"You go see her?" the empress asked again with her eyes squinted.

"Yes..." Zhou An said with a tough forehead and explained again, "Bai Xiaokui is seriously injured and needs me to go for treatment."

"I'll go with you." The empress didn't say anything to lose her temper, but what she said made Zhou An terrified.
