Chapter 124: Preparations

Ah Zi gasped when she heard this.

Originally, she only thought about the safety of the two countries and felt that this matter was tricky.

Now listening to Zuo Qiyang's analysis, I realized how dangerous it was for me to be a prisoner of war from Dongyuan to be caught in the middle.

The matter has come to this point, I am afraid that even if I rush to the Sacred Heart Palace overnight to tell Wang Chuanchao's identity to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, this matter will fall in the eyes of outsiders and spread by word of mouth, and I will definitely not be able to get rid of the crime of colluding with Wang Chuanchao and mixing into the Xiyou Forbidden Palace.

I'm afraid that some good people framed themselves and Wang Chuanchao, dog-eat-dog, and finally made a fish and died in the net, and it is not impossible to poke such a big man.

Thinking of this, Ah Zi couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing her like this, Zuo Qiyang smiled comfortingly and said: "Don't worry, since Wang Chuanchao has been in for so long to serve the prince closely, he has not made any big moves, and he must have taken into account that there are many people in the palace, and it is difficult for him to get out of his rash actions, so he has been lurking."

"In this case, he will not act rashly suddenly, you just follow the original schedule and go into the palace every day to serve the Empress Dowager with peace of mind.

"As for who is behind this person's instructions, and what is the ultimate goal, I will let my subordinates investigate, and before the birthday banquet, I will definitely find out thoroughly, you can rest assured."

Zuo Qiyang said such a thing as if he was expressing his determination with his boss, which looked a little funny, but Ah Zi, who was uncertain at this time, felt a lot more relieved.

The next morning, it was not yet dawn. Zuo Qiyang was ready to go with the moonlight.

Ah Zi sent it to the door.

"Let's go back and have some breakfast, it's windy outside in the morning, and I'm sick carefully, and there is no one to take care of the Queen Mother and the Queen."

Zuo Qiyang rode on the horse and said with a smile at Ah Zi.

Ah Zi nodded in response, but his feet did not move at all.

Zuo Qiyang was helpless, knowing that she was afraid that she would not go back if she didn't watch her leave, so she had to say goodbye again, pull the reins of the horse, turn the horse's head and leave.

looked at the figure of Zuo Qiyang leaving. Ah Zi's heart was indescribably melancholy.

What's wrong with you? Actually to a man who once hurt them. resorted to ruthless means to slaughter the city for a treasure he stole himself, and finally captured himself to come to a foreign capital.

Ah Zi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Perhaps it was the appearance of Xingfu that made him even more sure of the fact that Ah Brown would not come to save her, and completely broke off the thoughts on the other side. I began to completely let go of my defense. Unconsciously because she was integrated into the new world that Zuo Qiyang led her into.

But now I look back on the days when I came to Xijing. From the first glance when I saw the simplicity of the palace city and the affluence of the life of the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven, to the feeling of the approachability of the Empress Dowager and the Empress when I entered the palace, and then to the surprise after learning about her old man's bumpy life......

In fact, spend one more day in this kingdom. Ah Zi will have a good impression of the people and things here.

Growing up in Dongyuan, although because of the lack of father and mother, and even ended up living on the streets, Ah Zi was enlightened by the land and people of Dongyuan after all, and like all Dongyuan people, in her impression, Xiyou is a place where the country has only been founded for decades, the foundation is still shallow, the land is barren, and there are many wild children.

But now that I think about it carefully, I feel that the statements I have been exposed to since I was a child are not diametrically opposed to the reality of Xiyou, but they are also very different.

Compared with the self-sufficiency and happiness of the Xiyou people, and even after living here for so long, Ah Zi has never heard anyone from the palace to the people of Li here to say a word about the Dongyuan State.

Such a huge contrast, when I think about it carefully at this time, but it sets off the shallowness of Dongyuan's knowledge and the generosity of Xiyu.

Or is this Dongyuan's fear?

Seeing that a group of traitors who split from their own country actually built a country on the originally barren land, or a new country that was far superior to itself in its rule and became stronger year by year, Dongyuan began to be afraid of the people's aspirations after knowing the truth, so the imperial court began to block the news, and the people began to walk around the wrong rumors about Xiyu, and the people ended up living in such a huge lie......

Ah Zi didn't dare to think further, lest he would eventually turn his mind completely to this country, but he would be dissatisfied with the country he grew up in.

There was only less than half a month left before the queen's birthday banquet, and Ah Zi still went back and forth between the Sacred Heart Palace and the Yan Mansion every day, but gradually felt that time was pressing.

Because of the climate, the refining of vegetarian poisonous incense failed twice in succession, and finally Ah Zi took some effort to adjust the stove room temporarily vacated for incense refining to a constant temperature environment, and closed the doors and windows tightly, starting from filtering and purifying the air in the house, which improved.

Standing in front of the door of the finally completed incense refining room with sweat, Ah Zi let out a long breath, and only then did he deeply feel the pleasant climate of the Medicine Immortal Valley...... There is also the importance of Zuo Qiyang.

Seeing that Ah Zi was obviously a lot haggard these days due to overwork, the Empress Dowager and the Empress both advised her to stay at home and rest.

"Recently, the palace has been busy with Zhang Luo's birthday banquet, you are here to look at these messy things, I am afraid that I am even more restless, and I am flawless to take care of the affairs of my own family, and the queen has been so busy recently that her feet do not touch the ground, I am afraid that I will not have time to take care of you, it is better to give you a few days off, and stay until the day of the birthday banquet, Zuo Qiyang is back, and then let him send you to me."

The Empress Dowager calmly talked to Ah Zi.

Ah Zi smiled and responded vaguely, but he still ran to the Sacred Heart Palace every day.

She always felt that because the palace was busy up and down, and the queen didn't come to the queen mother's bedroom much, she should take time to accompany her old man and relieve her boredom.

The Empress Dowager saw it in her eyes and knew that it was her filial piety, so she persuaded her a few times, so she stopped mentioning it, and talked and laughed with Ah Zi every day, and the days passed quickly.

Seeing that there are only two days before the birthday banquet, the palace is in an unprecedented busy, everyone is in a hurry on the road, the emperor even ordered that there is no need to do some false etiquette when meeting outside the palace in the future, and those who can do the work arranged in hand in the days before the birthday banquet will be rewarded, and the number of gifts this week will not be harsh.

With such a popular rule handed down, although the servants in the palace were tired, they were all clean, and they couldn't hear a single complaint.

But in the midst of this peaceful busyness, Ah Zi encountered variables that were enough to shock the entire Xiyou government and opposition on the way to the Sacred Heart Palace one day. (To be continued.) )
