Emperor Guangxuan strode into the prince's mansion.

There was not a hint of joy or sorrow on his face.

Everyone knelt down and saluted him in a panic.

Walking straight to the bed of Empress Dowager Gina, he glanced at Empress Dowager Gina, who had lost her breath, and suddenly felt a little gloating in his heart, he felt that her death could finally make his mother under Jiuquan blind.

Both of them were once prominent women around their fathers, but they were so sad when they died, it can be seen that sometimes the higher they climb, the worse they will fall, and the more desolate the end will be, and the corners of Emperor Guangxuan's eyes will pass a touch of complexity.

He blinked, and seemed to quickly withdraw himself from the sad expressions of the crowd, and he set his eyes on the newborn, and found that he looked so similar to his father, and his heart was sullen.

"Bring the four princes back to the palace and be raised by the queen." Emperor Guangxuan said loudly, and there was no doubt in his tone.

In this way, the four princes have lived under his control since birth, and he does not have to worry that the four princes will compete with him for power and throne when they grow up.

The crowd panicked. The Empress Dowager Gina has just lost her breath, is it appropriate to take her son away like this? But no one dared to raise an objection, because he was the current saint, he had the absolute right to decide, and now that Chu Zihou and Shen Xizhen were not in the prince's mansion, and the others were not the people in charge, who would dare to have the courage to ask for this noble baby to be kept?

In this way, the queen Hua Yueyu, who had won the emperor's order, carried Chu Zixun into a sedan chair and returned to the palace under the protection of a group of guards.

Emperor Guangxuan also returned to the palace after explaining some of the aftermath in the prince's mansion.

The next day, the news of Empress Dowager Gina's death was announced to the whole country. Then he ordered a thick burial of the Empress Dowager Gina.

This lover who was in the heart of Emperor Guangzhao back then has finally gone to heaven to accompany him.

Shen Xizhen, who was far away in the north of Xi Kingdom, and Chu Zihou, who was in the palace of the Gong Kingdom, also felt something at the same time, and their legs went weak for a while.

Shen Xizhen soon knew what had happened.

Chu Zihou had studied mystics with Shen Xizhen for nearly half a year, so he could also calculate the general idea of a thing. He knows. It was his relatives who had an accident, and the direction of the accident was the prince's mansion of Xi State-his mansion. I just don't know who or what happened.

However, the current situation in the mansion is that the Empress Dowager Gina and Princess Changxian are related to him, and he thinks of the Empress Dowager Gina, who is pregnant with Liujia, and these days are exactly her due date, could it be that something happened to her when she gave birth? He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and his mind suddenly became a mess.

He forced himself to hold on to his feelings so that he did not let himself fall.

This kind of grief is not suitable to be expressed in front of anyone, especially if this is not his own country, and no one here will care about his feelings.

However, he was sad. It's as if the body has been emptied of something all of a sudden.

If something happens to his mother, then he is also responsible! If he had stayed with her, maybe things wouldn't have been like this.

He immediately made up his mind to complete the implementation of this plan as soon as possible, so that he could go back and see what was going on as soon as possible. He suddenly remembered that Shen Xizhen would return to Xi Kingdom in two months, and then he would be able to tell her what was going on at home.

Home and family are the goals and spiritual abodes of a person in this world, and if something happens to his family, no matter what, he can't feel at ease.

But he can't do anything now. He could only wait patiently for the moment.

……………………

In the northern part of the country, the excavation of underground tunnels in the border area is in full swing.

Shen Xizhen still appears in front of everyone in wide men's clothes every day, and everyone only knows that she is a military advisor recruited by Liu Ming. But I don't know where she came from. Liu Ming's current official position is the envoy of the Xi Kingdom, and he has great prestige in the north, and being good at strategy is also one of his great advantages, so when he applied to Guangxuan to dig an underground tunnel in the border area, Emperor Shi Xuan immediately agreed.

He knows the benefits of digging underground tunnels in the border area. In the past, when the Xi Kingdom occupied the Mao Kingdom, the soldiers also walked in underground tunnels. This is the most stealthy way to move troops, and it can be used to attack the tributary kingdom when the opportunity arises. Of course, this is a very good thing.

Standing in the suburbs of the northern part of the Xi Kingdom, the whirring north wind blew Shen Xizhen's face. Shen Xizhen's eyes were calm.

Looking at the endless mountains, she felt an incomparable sense of pride in her heart. For what she and Chu Zihou are doing at the moment.

When their cooperation this time is successful, she knows that the Xi Kingdom will no longer be the previous Xi Kingdom, and she and Chu Zihou will no longer be people who need to be incognito, and at that time, her task of traveling to this dynasty will be eighty percent completed, which means that she has passed this time and can travel back to modern times at any time.

What a joy it is to see that what was supposed to take 30 years to accomplish is coming to an end after 20 years. However, she wants to do a hundred points, and she also wants to stay with Chu Zihou for a few more years, so she will not be willing to go back when she completes eighty percent of the task, besides, the Tribute Country is far more difficult to deal with than the Ball Country and the Mao Country, so she has to be extra careful, and she can't make the slightest mistake, otherwise it will be equivalent to losing the whole game, and at that time, she and Chu Zihou will not be able to return to the Xi Kingdom because of this.

"What? Thinking about something? Liu Ming stood on her left side and asked quietly.

"It's not a mental thing, it's just a reminiscence." Shen Xizhen turned his head to look at him and said, with a smile on his face.

This is the second time they have worked together, and she admires his talent and character, and she hopes to continue working with him in the future.

"A person like you, who is young but has experienced strong winds and waves, should have many extraordinary memories, right?"

Shen Xizhen smiled.

"How long will it take for the underground tunnels at the border to be completed?" Shen Xizhen immediately asked.

"It's going to take about half a month." Liu Ming replied.

"Then we can arrange for someone to build a retractable bridge, and you can gather the craftsmen early tomorrow morning."

She had to explain to them the structural drawings and details of the retractable bridge, and she also signed a confidentiality agreement.

"Okay, I'll arrange it early tomorrow morning. It's windy here, let's go back. Liu Mingjian said.

Shen Xizhen nodded and left the countryside with him.

At noon the next day, the craftsmen gathered at Liu Ming's house to listen to Shen Xizhen explain the construction of a retractable bridge.

The meeting did not end until the evening to make sure that everyone understood it.

Liu Ming's wife had already prepared dinner, and Shen Xizhen had dinner at Liu's Mansion before returning to his residence. (To be continued......)
