In Qifeng Palace, Emperor Mingde took Xie Xie's hand and sat at the table.

The palace people presented the food, and after Peng Hai personally inspected it, Emperor Mingde picked up his chopsticks and first gave Xie Ji her favorite dishes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With the usual smile on her face, Xie Cheng spoke softly, eating the dish that Emperor Mingde gave her.

But in fact, many years ago, those she once loved were no longer liked by her.

It's just that Emperor Mingde doesn't know.

Eating as usual, occasionally chatting a few words, and while talking, Emperor Mingde led the topic to Xie Yangui and Zhou Jin.

"Although Yan Gui handed over the military talisman and married someone, I thought that she was an idle person, and she should arrange some things for her to do in the court, but she couldn't think of where to arrange for a while, why don't you help me with a detailed one?"

Serving Xie Cheng vegetables again, Emperor Mingde asked with a smile.

"If Your Majesty asks me about the harem, I can say a few words, where can the concubines refer to those related to the previous dynasty?"

Saying this, Xie Ji was a little suspicious in her heart, she smiled and ate the dish that Emperor Mingde gave her, and quietly paid attention to the change in his expression.

Although he saw that his face was as usual, as if he was really just letting her take details, Xie Ji didn't dare to take it lightly.

She secretly went through it a few times in her heart, thinking about her words and deeds in the past few days, and then thinking about the actions of Xie Yangui outside the palace that she knew, it didn't seem that there was anything wrong with it.

can be Emperor Mingde's temperament, since she asked her, she always felt that it was not so simple, and she needed to deal with it mentally.

"It's just that our husband and wife are chatting in private, Yangui is both you and I grew up, just like our daughter, and now she is married to Lao Qi, who is also my daughter-in-law."

"Since it is a matter of your own family, if you have any ideas, just say it, it does not involve the court."

Emperor Mingde smiled and personally served Xie Cheng a bowl of soup.

"If Your Majesty says so, then I can speak freely." Xie Cheng smiled more deeply, but he was still thinking about the words in his heart.

"If you want me to say, since Yangui has been married, the most important thing at the moment is to take care of your body at that time and have a child as soon as possible."

Of course, this is not what Xie Guifei said, but it should be what Xie Guifei should say.

Emperor Mingde couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head and smiled.

"Yes, you used to always talk about letting her get married as soon as possible, and if you have a child, you will help take care of it, and now that she is really married, don't you think about it?"

"I will instruct the hospital to recuperate for their husband and wife, you can wait with peace of mind, I see that Yangui still likes Lao Qi, the relationship between husband and wife is good, and the child must come soon."

Although he didn't remember Zhou Jinqi in the past, on the day of the wedding, he had taken a few serious looks.

After that, I found the imperial doctor and asked a few questions.

Regarding Zhou Jin's physical condition, he knows it well.

"That's the best." The spoon was stirring in the soup bowl, and Xie Cheng looked very expectant.

And in fact, compared to Emperor Mingde, she really knows it.

Speaking of which, Emperor Mingde no longer asked Xie Cheng what he meant, and turned to the matter of autumn hunting.

In the past, he would inevitably take Xie Cheng with him for autumn hunting, and this time was no exception.

The atmosphere in the hall was as harmonious as usual, and anyone who saw it had to say that the imperial concubine had a deep friendship.

——

In the dimly lit basement, Wei Yan's limbs were firmly tied, his eyes were covered with strips of cloth, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

There was nothing in his mouth, but he was kept closed, and at most someone poured him some rice soup, and he didn't have the strength to open his mouth.

He didn't know who he had offended, and who had the ability to knock him out of his home and take him away, he only knew that he was probably finished.

Even if someone finds and rescues him, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive.

He was the head of Emperor Mingde's internal guards, but if he failed repeatedly, he would lose his qualification to live.

It's not that he didn't want to die, but he was unwilling, and he always wanted to struggle again.

Even if he still has to die in the end, if he can pull him together, it will be worth it.

There was a faint sound, his ears moved, and his face turned in the direction of the sound.

A gust of wind blew, accompanied by footsteps, and Wei Yan knew that someone had come in.

The man approached him, came to him, and seemed to crouch down.

Wei Yan's chin was pinched by someone who came, and he turned left and right, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Who the hell are you?" After being let go, he immediately asked, only to hear a sneer.

"Who the hell are you!" He struggled and shouted, but there was no response.

He felt the man get up, his footsteps moving away from him.

"Don't you go, you have to let me die if you die!" He continued to struggle, and had a faint realization that it was the person who came today, not the one who poured rice soup on him in the past.

But the other party did not answer, the door opened and closed, and only the sound of his rough panting remained in the basement.

——

Early in the morning, after practicing, Xie Yangui bathed and changed his clothes, and ordered someone to bring Jing Yu over.

Zhou Jin stood at the door and handed her the horse whip in his hand, which he had newly found, which was easier than her before.

Smiling at Zhou Jin, Xie Yangui urged the horse towards the palace.

At this time, it was the early dynasty, and the courtiers, as usual, returned to various affairs.

There is no news from Qiannan today, but there is news from Yuncheng, Emperor Mingde sat on the top, and after listening to the reply, he asked the courtiers what they meant.

"Your Majesty, although the copper mine has been discovered in the opinion of the minister, it is not very important, unless it has been mined." Zhang Ming, the head of the household, stepped forward and saluted Emperor Mingde.

Now the news that has returned to Kyoto is similar to what Xie Yangui and Zhou Jin got before.

They didn't know what was going on, so the news didn't come back this time.

In contrast, Xie Yangui knew more, because she had seen Shen Huaiyi, took some copper coins from his money bag, and ordered someone to investigate.

It's still under investigation, and I'm thinking it's about to come soon.

"If it has been mined, it must be ascertained for use, and if it has been made into copper coins, the whereabouts must be ascertained immediately, and if it has not been mined, it must be levied for the use of the imperial court."

Copper mining can be big or small, Emperor Mingde frowned, his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

"I have ordered this matter to continue, and the news will be sent back in a few days." Compared with Yuncheng sending the excerpt back, the news of the internal guard is much earlier.

Emperor Mingde also knew about this earlier, and ordered the internal guard to investigate in detail, in addition, he also asked the internal guard to send news to Ji Zheng.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Zhang Ming retreated into the queue, Emperor Mingde's gaze swept over the courtiers, and he spoke slowly.

Without waiting for someone to react, a clear voice came from outside the hall, just like a month ago, "Minister Xie Yangui has a book." ”

Suddenly, many ministers in the palace frowned.

Xie Yangui, who was gorgeously dressed and ostentatious, came in from outside the hall, with a smile in the corners of her eyes, she strode forward to the foot of the dragon stairs and saluted Emperor Mingde at the top.

"Minister Xie Yangui to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."
