Chapter 53, the links are closely interlocked

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's body stiffened suddenly, and his heartbeat couldn't help but leak half a beat.

But soon, she regained her composure, raised her head, looked at Xia Pei for a moment, and feigned anger, "Your Majesty is getting bolder and bolder, and you don't care about the etiquette at all, thinking that if the official doctor has changed, no one will be able to control you?"

When Xia Pei heard this, she just chuckled and tightened her little man's waist.

This is not the first time he has sneaked into the mansion, just because of the alley, the vacant East Palace was opened by him through a secret passage, and every time the emperor sneaks out of the palace, he will enter the East Palace, and enter her mansion through this secret passage.

And most of the people in the mansion are accustomed to it, and he is the emperor, so no one dares to stop him.

It just so happened that Xia Pei smiled and did not answer her directly, but deliberately pulled something else, and at the same time let go of her hand and let go of her.

"When did I come, didn't I abide by the etiquette? It's just that...... I can't help but want to see you." When he said the second half, he seemed to have no confidence in his heart.

Lu Zhaoyi only took a step back, raised his head, and quietly observed the man in front of him, with a warmth different from Xia Sheng, his facial features were deep and well-defined, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he seemed to have tempered his perseverance and unyielding will on the school field, or inherited the calmness of Duke Wu, faintly, the temperament of the emperor has been highlighted.

It's just that there is a hint of playfulness in these bottomless eyes.

At that moment, Lu Zhaoyi's breathing stopped for a second, and then, she eased her emotions again and quickly looked away.

"Ahem...... Did Your Majesty hear what we said in the house?"

Xia Pei smiled, and his tone was extremely light, "Hear! When Huazhi came back and came in with the qin, I happened to be outside the door." Z.br>

She hung her head dissatisfied, but she was complaining in her heart, and the girl from Huazhi didn't inform her.

Lu Zhaoyi suddenly felt an embarrassment that spread in his heart, and his face became more and more ugly.

Xia Pei saw her like this, and the smile in her eyebrows became brighter.

"I'm really curious, what kind of poem did the third brother write to you? I know you have the ability to remember, so you should be able to recite it, right?"

Let her recite poems...... Hehe, when she thought of the wording in the letter, she couldn't recite it, so she couldn't help but slowly lower her head.

Unfortunately, the envelope containing the love poem was still in his hand.

Maybe it was because of the angle, Lu Zhaoyi actually found two lines of fonts in it under her side glance, and a trace of surprise flashed in her mind in an instant, staring at the letter paper in her hand incredulously.

"Zhaoyi, what's wrong?"

She stared, didn't answer at all, and immediately turned back into the house.

"Zhiyun, quick, fetch water."

Qu Zhiyun, who was originally hiding in the house and pretending to be blind, was frightened out by Lu Zhaoyi, and then in a panic took a bowl of water from the side and sent it to her.

And Lu Zhaoyi went all the way to the front of the case, and under the gaze of Xia Pei and Qu Zhiyun, she cut it along one side with a dagger, and then spread it out to form a complete piece of paper.

After immersing himself in the water, he took it out and laid it out on the table, and soon the handwriting on the paper slowly appeared.

Cui and Yang hid in Yique, and Xu was difficult. When the emperor camp is meticulous, it is aid!

When he saw the content on the paper clearly, Rao was Xia Pei's calm temperament, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

What is described in this letter is Cui Qingshuang and Yang Xian, who fled in the Peng Wangfu and their whereabouts are unknown, and now they are hiding in Yique Pass, and Yang Wenxu, a guest of the Han Wangfu and the former deputy hall master of the Zuoqin Hall of the Tianxia League, is in great trouble.

Among the emperor's personal soldiers in the garrison of Yique Pass, there are still fine works that echo them, and Xia Sheng's meaning is that the female cadres need to be uprooted before they can rescue Yang Wenxu.

Such news made Xia Pei feel a pang in his heart.

"Yes! Among my most trusted soldiers, there are also traitors who have betrayed me......

"Your Majesty, calm down first!" Lu Zhaoyi pursed his lips, "Yique Pass is not far from Luojing City, you can send someone to make a secret visit first, if it is true, it is not too late to plan."

Since Yang Wenxu from her

resigned from the position of deputy hall master here, and since then he has never interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and he has never seen him appear in front of the world.

A few months ago, when Xia Sheng was unconscious, Lin Chang had specially looked for Yang Wenxu, but after all, he couldn't find anyone, and they also guessed whether he had returned to Hongnong's hometown.

It wasn't until he saw that Lu Zhaoyi woke up to the fact that he had been kidnapped, no wonder there was no whereabouts.

If you want to say that the person who wants to rescue the most, in addition to Xia Sheng, it is her Lu Zhaoyi.

As the leader of the alliance, the brother is in trouble, and it is impossible to let it go.

She lowered her eyes slightly, "Your Majesty, I want one of my Yongwei guards to take His Majesty's personal guards to Yique Pass to investigate, I don't know if Your Majesty can ......

Before he finished speaking, Xia Pei smiled very cheerfully, and his handsome and chic face seemed to be without hesitation, and immediately agreed.

"My mine, it's yours, you can use it if you want."

Xia Pei's answer made Lu Zhaoyi's heart tremble, and his cheeks turned red, but he still lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.

Qu Zhiyun, who was standing on the side, looked at them so close to each other so tired, the whole person couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and couldn't help coughing a few times, wanting to remind them that there was a woman in this room.

"Qi Niang, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some dinner first, does Your Majesty want to stay in the house for dinner today?"

As soon as she spoke, Lu Zhaoyi instantly felt the heat on her face, and immediately took a few steps back, moving a little distance from Xia Pei.

And Xia Pei also felt a little out of place, his eyes wandered, and he looked around to ease the atmosphere.

"Hmm...... I'll stay for a long time,......" Xia Pei's tone was slightly embarrassed, and he couldn't finish a sentence, "Then, I'll go back to the palace first, and there will be a ...... to interrogate."

With that, he turned and wanted to leave.

As soon as his footsteps moved, suddenly, Lu Zhaoyi opened his mouth to call him.

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

"What's the matter?"

Xia Pei stopped, turned around, saw her blushing, took the fur she had taken off before entering the house, hung her head and handed it over.

"Today, seeing that Your Majesty is wearing such a thin dress, and it is cold outside, Your Majesty put on this cloak before leaving, so as not to catch the cold."

Looking at her delicate and shy face, Xia Pei couldn't help but smile, but her heart was warm, "Okay...... I took it."

With that, he took the shawl from her hand, draped it over himself, and left the room like a gust of wind.

After he left, Qu Zhiyun couldn't help but complain.

"Ouch, this hasn't passed the door yet, it's so virtuous, if you really become a queen, do you plan to leave the world behind and only stay with your beloved?"

Lu Zhaoyi glared at her, and her tone still couldn't hide the sweetness, "Don't talk nonsense, mind your own business!"

Qu Zhiyun stuck out her tongue and said no more.

She also knew that with the emperor's laissez-faire attitude, even if she sat on the throne of the queen, she would not be able to leave everything behind.

Just before Lu Zhaoyi was about to be canonized, the emperor also issued an edict and promoted the quasi-empress to the official position, and the official residence was the deputy of Jiuqing.

What's more, the people in the city are spreading that the emperor ordered the craftsmen of the Foundry Department to build a bead curtain, and invited the craftsmen to enter the palace and enter the Taiji Hall to measure the size.

This caused rumors in the market that the bead curtain was made for the queen, in order to let the queen continue to hold the official position and discuss matters in the court.

If the rumors are true, this move will definitely be grasped by the courtiers in the future, and they will have to give examples of the previous court's and harem's political affairs.

However, she is not worried, because no matter what happens, in her eyes, Lu Zhaoyi will definitely succeed, and she will also let the world see clearly that she is a woman, and she can do what a man can do, and she can do better!

Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Zhaoyi finished breakfast, he received the Wujin Jinjun Tiger Talisman sent by Xia Pei, the edict for the transfer of troops, and the blank seal book for sending generals.

As for why this seal book is blank, it is Xia Pei who asked her to write a name by herself, and this time the army mission.

Lu Zhaoyi

I didn't want to think about it, so I took up the pen and wrote it on this seal book.

"Your Highness!"

A respectful voice came.

Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyes, only to see that it was Hua Zhi leading a palace attendant and coming in with a tray.

"Are you?"

The chamberlain greeted him with a smile on his face, lifted the tray above his head and knelt down.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Queen, the slave and maid were sent by His Majesty and sent to His Highness, the matter is very important, it should have been asked by Da Honglu, but Da Honglu said that this matter has always been the responsibility of Your Highness, so you sent the slave and maid over."

Lu Zhaoyi was very uncomfortable by his voice "Your Highness", and asked Hua Zhi to take the tray in his hand, while instructing with a cold face, "My Majesty and I are not married yet, you just need to call "Lu Niangzi", when will the marriage be completed, and when will you change your words!"

The old eunuch looked dazed, had no choice but to respond, and responded extremely flatteringly, "Yes, yes! Your Highness...... Eh, that's what Mrs. Lu said!"

When Fang Cai didn't change his words in time and called "Your Highness" again, he happened to meet Lu Zhaoyi's chilling eyes, which suddenly made the old eunuch frightened and immediately buried his head on the floor.

Lu Zhaoyi continued to look coldly, and the soft wattle caressed the tray, took the bamboo slips from it, and laid them flat on the table.

As the bamboo slip slowly spread out, her gaze fixed on the contents of the slip.

This is a tribute to the kingdoms established by the countries outside the western frontier, the four Yi in the north, and the Buyeo people outside the Great Wall, as well as other states and countries, to pay tribute to the Dayuan Dynasty at the end of this year.

It is clearly within Hongluqing's responsibilities, how can she, Honglucheng, meddle in this matter?

Matters like this should be handed over to the emperor, and after the royal approval, the tributes should be counted and put into the warehouse.

However, it wasn't until she saw the list of tributes presented by the Xianbei Tuoba Ministry, the Yuwen Ministry, and the Murong Ministry, that her eyes suddenly lit up, and she realized why Xia Pei and Zhao Zifang decided to call this matter to themselves.

She was not in a hurry at first, asked Huazhi to invite the old eunuch into the guest compartment to rest for a while, put away the bamboo slips, and brought over the tiger talisman, edict and seal book again, and asked people to call Li Min of Yongwei back.

After a while, Li Min came.

"What's the matter with the Seventh Lady looking for me?"

Li Min came to the lobby, and when he saw her, he immediately bowed.

Lu Zhaoyi glanced at him lightly, motioned for him to come closer, and pushed the three tokens needed for the transfer of troops forward.

"Wei Meng and Du Yu are both recommended to enter the court now, and it is inconvenient for them to carry out this task as an official position, I will think about it and leave it to you, just to see if you can lead the troops in the future!"

Hearing this, Li Min was so surprised that he almost fainted, he had no other way but to kneel and kowtow to thank him.

"The Seven Ladies look up to their subordinates so much, and the subordinates will definitely live up to their mission and will definitely fulfill the Seven Niangzi's entrustment."

Lu Zhaoyi nodded lightly, signaling him to take the three troop transfer tokens and prepare to go.

When Li Min took the token and got up to leave, she took it back and spread it out again.

When she saw the section that recorded the Xianbei tribes, her eyes were fixed on her, and she didn't move for a long time.
