The emperor still cares about me! The prince said secretly in his heart.

From Emperor Guangzhao's letter, he felt the strong fatherly love between the lines, and also received strong spiritual encouragement.

Now, the prince, who is about to become a father, instantly understands that feeling.

After all, blood is thicker than water!

Thinking back to his original usurpation, I can't help but feel ashamed and remorseful.

The crown prince immediately wrote a reply letter to Emperor Guangzhao and asked Xizhen to help pass it on.

Hee-jin took the letter and said goodbye to them.

After sending Xizhen away, the prince said to Hua Yueyu: "Ai Concubine, from today onwards, I want to change my mind and be a good man." ”

Kazuki immediately clenched his hand.

"I've always believed in Your Highness." The ballad of the flower moon said.

After returning to the palace from Jingsi Garden, Xizhen went to the Zichen Palace to see Emperor Guangzhao and handed him the letter written to him by the prince as soon as possible.

Emperor Guangzhao looked at the prince's reply full of self-reproach, and knew that the prince had realized his mistake, and immediately had mixed feelings and tears in his eyes.

After a long while, Emperor Guangzhao said, "Guang'an Hou, play a song of "Great Rhyme" for me." ”

"Okay, Your Majesty."

"Great Rhyme" was originally one of the six generations of music and dance, and it was recomposed by Xi Zhen, so it highlights its majestic momentum.

Emperor Guangzhao loves to listen to it very much, and he must order this song whenever he is in a good mood.

When Xi Zhen finished playing the long "Great Rhyme", Emperor Guangzhao said: "I said last time that I would reward you after you completed the land acquisition, say, what kind of reward do you want?" ”

"The courtiers haven't thought about it yet. Let's accumulate it first. ”

"Okay." Emperor Guangzhao replied, knowing at the same time that when she said this, she would make a big move next.

It's just that I don't know where her goal is this time.

Emperor Guangzhao waited and watched.

He knew she would never let him down.

"Your Majesty, now that the city has been built, you can dig an underground tunnel." Xi Zhen said.

"Uh-huh, I know. Three days later, I will convene the ministers to discuss the matter. ”

"Okay."

……………………

After the aftermath of the abolition of aristocracy and the reclamation of the fields has passed. Shen Xizhen and Pepper went to Xiaoyun Mountain to pick up Du Qiniang and the others back to their homes.

At this time. Seventy percent of the construction of the organ house has been completed.

At this rate, it should be completed by the end of the year.

Xizhen was very satisfied with Wan Haimo's work ability and immediately rewarded him.

I haven't seen each other for more than two months. Xi Zhen found that Ji Yuelian's belly was already very big, and she was also very happy.

Everyone was relieved to see that Xizhen came back safely.

The six of them then took the car back to the Hou Mansion at night.

"During this time, you stay in the Hou Mansion to protect them." Hee Zhen commanded Pepper.

Pepper gladly agreed.

……………………………….

Three days later. Emperor Guangzhao summoned his ministers to deploy the matter of digging tunnels.

The next day, Emperor Guangzhao issued an order to the cities. The responsible persons of each city are required to implement the relevant staff within three days.

Shen Xizhen, as the proposer of this proposal, was sent to the scene to command and supervise.

"We're going to dig an underground tunnel to the border." Shen Xizhen said to the staff.

"Is it dangerous to get too close to the sea?" Questions were raised.

Because the border between the Mao Kingdom and the Gong Kingdom is the sea.

What is the purpose of digging the tunnel so close to the sea? The staff were a little confused.

"Don't worry, there will be a large iron gate at the mouth of the tunnel that can withstand pressure. It is useful to dig in this way, and you will know it later. Xizhen explained.

The people asked no more questions.

Digging underground passages was not an easy task in ancient times, as it involved a lot of technology. Therefore, many countries do not know this kind of thing at all, but Shen Xizhen has seen tunnels with various functions in modern times and understands the role of tunnels in a country.

She had already thought of this when she was making gunpowder. Therefore, this underground excavation work inevitably required a large amount of gunpowder.

She was inspired by the modern pickaxe to create a similar hand-held tool, which she used to deal with ore layers in areas where gunpowder was not available.

This tool has been very popular as soon as it is used. Everyone imitated the manufacturing, and for a time almost every household had one.

Everyone affectionately calls this kind of machine "Zhenji".

The work of digging the tunnel was in full swing.

This time, not only the standing army was mobilized, but the people of Xi also came to help.

As a result, the progress of the project was much faster than Xizhen expected.

A month later, the underground tunnels in the heart of the city were largely dug up.

Inspired by the modern subway, Xizhen has made each city's underground tunnel in several intersecting and interconnected states, so that people from every direction can enter.

In this way, even if someone blows up the tunnel from one direction, it will not leave no way for the people inside the tunnel to escape.

Because she was concerned about the progress of the project, Xizhen came to the site every day to see it, and often helped out, and the people respected her very much.

One day, she was helping to dig the ground in an underground tunnel, and she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and the whole person fell down with a thud.

"Guang'an is fainting!" As someone shouted, everyone turned their gaze.

Pepper, who was digging in the ground not far from her, rushed up with an arrow.

"Guang'an Hou, what's wrong with you? You okay? Pepper didn't care about etiquette, and immediately picked her up.

The people also rushed over and helped Pepper take her out of the tunnel.

Suddenly, people from outside also gathered around.

"Guang'an Hou fainted."

"She seems to be tired, she is the most willing person I have ever met to do things for the people."

"Isn't it? Thanks to her, she was able to hold the northern frontier. ”

"Thanks to her, we have the fields."

"Yes, Guang'anhou's merits are obvious, and the heavens and the earth can be expressed!"

"So she can't be fine."

"Is there water? Whoever has water, quickly bring some to Guang'an. Pepper asked.

"I have it at home, don't say I want water. I won't say a word if I want my cow. ”

People are talking constantly, and it's all about her.

Soon, someone came over with a bowl of water.

Pepper then fed her water herself.

After another moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing that she woke up, the crowd immediately cheered.

"Thank you!" Shen Xizhen said hurriedly, struggling to stand up.

As soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy again. Then he lost consciousness again.

…………………………

The news that Guang'an Hou was tired and collapsed in the underground tunnel immediately spread all over the streets and alleys of Xi Kingdom. Everyone praised each other, saying that it was a gift from God that Xi Guo could have such a woman.

Some people talk more and more mysteriously, and even say that she is the reincarnation of a god. Specially came to Xi to save the suffering.

There are also people who build a temple for her to receive worship from the people.

In short, in everyone's hearts, her status is comparable to that of today's saints.

…………………….

Since falling ill. There was an endless stream of people who came to visit the Hou Mansion.

Although Du Qiniang had already instructed the housekeeper to ask him to respectfully ask everyone to retreat. But there are still many people who stay where they are and don't want to go, just to know Shen Xizhen's condition.

The doctor who checked Xizhen's pulse said with a look of surprise: "Xiao has never seen such a strange pulse, it seems that Guang'an Hou is not only physically tired, but also suffers from other diseases." The little one prescribes some medicine to her first, and let's take it for a while. ”

Hearing what the doctor said, Du Qiniang was frightened.

Although she had long seen that Shen Xizhen was a little different from others. But she never thought in the direction of a strange disease, so what kind of disease did she have? And how can it be healed?

Du Qiniang was suddenly flustered.

Emperor Guangzhao was also very worried when he heard the news of Shen Xizhen's illness. Immediately send the imperial physician to consult.

However, the doctors also said that it was due to overwork, but they could not explain the cause of her abnormal pulse.

In this way, Xizhen had to stay at home to recuperate.

However, five full days later, her physical discomfort still remains.

A large number of people still gather in front of the Hou Mansion every day, and everyone enthusiastically asks about her condition.

That night, Xi Zhen called Du Qi Niang, Ji Yuelian, the housekeeper Uncle Liu, Xiang'er and Pepper, and said to them: "Judging from the current momentum, my reputation among the people has reached the emperor, which is an extremely dangerous thing. ”

"You're still sick, you can't run around." Du Qiniang said busily.

"Don't worry, I won't go too far, I want to go to live in Taoyuanwu in Shili Prefecture, where there is a resort, which is very suitable for recuperation." Xizhen said with a smile.

"It's not far away, that place is three hundred miles away from here, how can you get there now?"

"I can do it, I want to ask Pepper and Xiang'er to accompany me then."

"It's okay for them to be well, but you're sick, and I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the long journey."

"Don't worry, I know it."

…………………

The next day, Xizhen personally entered the palace to meet Emperor Guangzhao.

"Your Majesty, now that the national defense facilities of the Xi Kingdom have been basically solved, and the people have land to cultivate, the courtiers want to ask you for a month off to recuperate, and I hope you will be gracious."

"Is Guang'an Hou going to recuperate at home or in another location?"

"Both, but the courtiers promise you that they will not go too far, much less to other countries."

Looking at the pale woman in front of him, Emperor Guangzhao could also see that she was not lightly ill, so he said: "Okay, I am approved, but you have to promise me that you will come back as soon as the one-month vacation is over." ”

"No!" Shen Xizhen hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

…………………….

"I'm sorry I haven't been with you for a long time due to my busy work lately!" Shen Xizhen took Jiang Weibai's hand and said.

Jiang Weibai saw her sick like this, and her heart was already so sad that she burst into tears, where did she mind what she said? Busy said: "Where, you have a good body first, and there will be more opportunities for us to get together again in the future." ”

"I asked Mama Chen to make some of your favorite spiced orange peel cakes, you can take some back with you."

"Look at you, you're sick like this and still thinking about me......" (to be continued).
