Yun Dai returned to the palace and the sky was completely dark.

Chengqian Palace has sent someone to ask several times.

"The Empress is back. Do you want a servant to pick her up?" Liu Dequan asked.

Zhao Yuanjing was wearing clothes and sitting under the lamp to read the note. He thought for a while and said, "I'm tired for a day, tell her to rest. Don't run back and forth."

Liu Dequan whispered: "The emperor also took a break earlier, so the disease was cured and he couldn't endure it."

"I'm fine." Zhao Yuanjing said lightly.

He was poisoned, not sick.

Now that I understand the medicine, it will be a matter of time before I recover.

But government affairs cannot be delayed anymore. Before, Yun Dai stayed up late to read the memorials for him. Since he was getting better, how could he work harder than Yun Dai?

As a slave around him, Liu De could only persuade him and did not dare to stop him.

After a moment, Xu Hu is here.

"I have seen the emperor." Xu Hu knelt down and bowed.

"Get up." Zhao Yuanjing lowered his head and wrote without raising his head, "Tell me."

Xu Hu said: "At the moment, the Empress's carriage arrived at Baishi Mountain. The King of Qin personally welcomed her. He went to the warehouse together and inspected fifty cannons."

"Then what?"

"After the Queen checked the cannons, she picked three cannons for random inspection and testing, and pulled them outside for testing." Xu Hu said, "Empress, Concubine Zhou, and His Highness Qin were lit once."

"Can it be successful?"

"Everyone successfully ignited the launch." Xu Hu said, "The Empress is very satisfied."

"Did they say anything?"

Zhao Yuanjing didn't point out who they were, but Xu Hu understood.

He replied: "Apart from the artillery matter, the Empress and the King of Qin did not say anything special. Instead, they joked about Concubine Zhou together."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanjing stopped writing and looked up at him: "Why did you come back so late?"

Xu Hu lowered his head and replied: "The Empress and Concubine Zhou stayed for dinner. It was the meal made by His Highness the King of Qin."

Zhao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "What did they eat together?"

"No. Your Highness of Qin was outside and had a meal with the soldiers. The Empress and Concubine Zhou had a meal alone." Xu Hu Lao replied honestly, "The Empress came back after the meal."

Zhao Yuanjing pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "You go down first."

He glanced at Liu Dequan and asked, "Do you think the little emperor still have any thoughts on the queen?"

Liu Dequan was so scared that he hurriedly lowered his head and said in panic: "The Empress is deeply in love with the Emperor."

"Is this the question I asked?"

"If you change it, His Highness of Qin has already married the princess... He should have already stopped this kind of ruthless idea." Liu Dequan replied carefully, "For so long, the King of Qin and the Queen have always adhered to their duties and have not surpassed them."

Zhao Yuanjing smiled slightly: "Liu Dequan, you are loyal to the queen now."

Liu Dequan knelt down in a hurry: "I dare not. The slave is my servant. Except for the emperor, there will be no other person in his eyes."

"It is also true that the queen is kind to you, and you are loyal to her."

Zhao Yuanjing looked calm, "I guess the queen didn't eat well outside, so you can ask the imperial kitchen to send some meals."

"Slaves receive the order."

Liu Dequan wiped the sweat from his forehead and left.

...

Yun Dai spent two days to calculate the cost of the artillery clearly, send it to the King of Qin, and suggested that he sell it for more than ten times the price.

Zhao Shu also acted very quickly and had already contacted the Northern Qi royal family.
