As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Xie Zhaozhao pictured the appearance of the two little guys in his mind, with a somewhat gentle and loving look on their faces.

She said to the female officer: "Send someone to send a message to the Prince's Palace. I will go see them after tomorrow morning."

The female officer responded softly and waved to the young eunuch on the side, who quickly stepped back and left the palace.

The female officer stepped forward and held Xie Zhaozhao's arm to the dragon bed in the inner hall.

Since His Majesty left the palace, Xie Zhaozhao has been handling court affairs, and Xie Zhaozhao basically rests on the dragon bed in the inner hall of Yulongtai.

Looking back carefully over the past few years, both the emperor and the empress rested at Yulongtai when they were busy.

In his free time, Yun Qi would also accompany Xie Zhaozhao to sleep in Fenghua Palace.

This country, this throne, this court, this palace, the emperor and empress have never been separated from each other.

Holding hands until today.

Even if there were occasional disagreements, blushes or awkward moments, they would always reconcile within a few days and even become closer than before.

The person who bows his head may not always be Yun Qi, but many times it will be Xie Zhaozhao who takes the initiative to admit his mistakes.

Xie Zhaozhao has always been tolerant towards the palace people and will not always act like a powerful person and bully them.

Even except for important formal occasions, he rarely uses self-identity in private.

She has always convinced people with her virtue and made everyone respect her. They are willing to listen to her orders and respect her as the Phoenix Master.

The female officer felt that she had never seen a woman who was as general and exquisite as Xie Zhaozhao.

It was probably because she was such a woman who had such a general understanding and exquisite clarity that she was able to win such a deep love from the emperor.

"You can step back, you don't have to guard me."

The palace maid helped Xie Zhaozhao take off her shoes and get on the dragon bed. She then lay down flat on her back and waved the female officer to have a rest.

As they grew older, Xie Zhaozhao found good marriages for the few people who had always been with Hongxiu Hongxia, and they got married and lived together.

Now this female officer was promoted to Xie Zhaozhao in the later period. She is smart and sensible and has won Xie Zhaozhao's heart. Now she is regarded as his right-hand man.

After listening to Xie Zhaozhao's instructions, the female officer bowed and saluted, and the people who served with her all moved away.

The female official companion has been with Xie Zhaozhao for several years and knows the queen very well.

Xie Zhaozhao was always very alert when sleeping. She would wake up if there was the slightest noise, so she would not let too many people serve in the inner hall during her rest time.

Xie Zhaozhao closed his eyes under the bright yellow brocade quilt.

The mattress is warm.

The scent of ambergris hanging next to the bed was something she was already very familiar with.

The wind blew for a while before, and it seemed to wake me up for a moment. In fact, I haven't slept well recently, but I had a headache due to the cold wind, and I fell into a drowsy state when I lay down.

But it was not easy for her to fall asleep.

There is much more snow this year than in previous years, and everywhere has been affected to some extent. Naturally, the DPRK and the Central Government are busy with disaster relief.

In the past few years, the dynasty has been recuperating and recuperating, and the treasury is still full, and money and materials can be obtained.

It's just that disaster relief in this freezing cold weather is really hard work.

Orders are passed down layer by layer, but not many can actually be implemented, and the disaster relief effects everywhere are generally not very good.

Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao spent most of the winter busy with the snow disaster.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, a corner of the imperial mausoleum collapsed.

The groundbreaking for the reconstruction required sacrifices, so Yun Qi had to leave the capital. Half a month has passed by now.

In a few days it will be New Year’s Eve…

Although the letter was sent and I would return today, the snow keeps falling and the road is difficult to travel. Who knows if I can return today?

Xie Zhaozhao hoped that he would come back slowly, safety first.

She took a breath and slowly turned over.

After staring at the top of the bed tent for a long time, her eyes became a little dry. After turning over, she closed her eyes, but the thoughts in her mind were not cut off, and she thought of some rumors she had heard in the past few days -

Outsiders say that this year's heavy snowfall and the collapse of the imperial mausoleum are both punishments and warnings from heaven.

Because she was involved in politics as the phoenix master, the hen Si Chen incurred the wrath of heaven.

Such voices have been circulating among the people for some time. Although the officials have not explicitly called out Xie Zhaozhao, there have been many people in the court who hesitated to speak in recent days.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he thought of this. An incompetent person always likes to find various reasons to blame others. He is always good at leading a large group of people to use his words to corner those he dislikes.

Over the past few years, she has become too aware of those people's methods.

Winter will eventually pass.

When spring comes, everything revives and becomes full of vitality.

Xie Zhaozhao took a deep breath, meditating to relax, and gradually let his tense thoughts slow down. Little by little, sleepiness began to rise, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

In a daze, she seemed to have arrived at Wangmeizhuang that year.

Yun Qi led her up the steps on the snow.

Halfway there, Yun Qi lowered his head and asked her with a smile: "Can you walk? I'll carry you."

Then Yun Qi squatted down in front of her and urged her to jump on his back.

Xie Zhaozhao could walk, but looking at the young man's broad back, he felt a rare sense of intimacy and coquettishness, so he jumped lightly and lay on her back.

Then Yun Qi was moved up step by step.

The cold wind is blowing sharply.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't feel cold at all. He only felt that the back against his body was so warm, blocking all the cold air in winter.

She slowly hugged Yun Qi's neck tightly, pressed her cheek against Yun Qi's face, and softly called "Ah Qi".

Yun Qi responded with a smile, looking back at her from the corner of his eyes, tenderly and affectionately.

At this moment, a sudden sound of breaking wind sounded.

There were hidden arrows flying from all directions.

Xie Zhaozhao shouted "Be careful", slipped off Yun Qi's body, and fought back to back with him to knock away the many hidden arrows.

And search for the mastermind in the dark night.

But at this moment, Yun Qi suddenly snorted, feeling extremely depressed and painful.

Xie Zhaozhao immediately turned around, his face suddenly pale.

Yun Qi was hit by several arrows in front of him, with blood oozing from the corners of his lips. He pressed his hand on the wound with difficulty, and called out "Zhao Zhao" with a wry smile.

Xie Zhaozhao hugged him hard, his whole body trembling in panic, his eyes instantly turned red, and he called him out loud.

"Aqi..."

"Ah Qi!"

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly sat up, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was extremely ugly.

He sat like that for a while.

The female official who was guarding outside brought Gong E in to ask, and Xie Zhaozhao slowly came back to his senses.

This is also the inner hall of Yulongtai.

She was just dreaming.

The female officer comforted her in a low voice: "My queen has only slept for more than two hours, please sleep a little longer."

"More than two hours?"

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the dancing dim candlelight on the crane lampstand next to the bed: "In other words, it's almost three o'clock in the morning?"

No one woke her up.

And the look in the female officer's eyes... Xie Zhaozhao knew with just one glance that Yun Qi had not come back.

She was in a relatively peaceful mood before going to bed.

Now because I had a dream, I feel really uneasy. How can I feel sleepy?
Xie Zhaozhao was lifted up.

The female officer couldn't help but say a few words of persuasion: "Your Majesty, time -"

"Shhh."

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly stood up and made a silencing gesture to the female officer, "Don't talk."

She faced the direction of the palace gate and listened carefully. (End of chapter)
