After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

what?

One hundred taels of gold?

Prefect Wang and Magistrate Zhang looked at each other and both took a breath of cold air at the same time.

"Then please have someone deliver it directly to my house," Governor Zhao said politely.

"Okay, Governor Zhao, I'll have someone do it right away."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"You are too polite, Governor Zhao. This is all my duty."

Magistrate Wang's eyes widened instantly, and he asked in disbelief, "What did the eunuch just say? Governor Zhao...?"

"Yes." The smile on the eunuch's face disappeared instantly: "The emperor has just issued an order to let Governor Zhao take over the post of governor. How come? Hasn't Prefect Wang heard the news yet?"

Prefect Wang's expression became indescribable.

Ever since Governor Zhao entered the palace, he has been waiting at the palace gate.

But I didn't expect it.

The emperor's imperial edict summoning him was never received.

When Governor Zhao came out again, he had become Governor-General Zhao.

Thinking about what I had done before on the frontier, I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine.

"Excuse me, sir, when will the emperor summon me and Zhang Tongpan?" Prefect Wang asked earnestly.

"How can a servant like me know when the emperor will summon you?" The eunuch said, and his lips suddenly curved into a big arc: "Governor Zhao, are you going to leave slowly? I'll ask someone to find a sedan chair to take you back."

"No need to trouble you, eunuch." Governor Zhao said, already starting to move forward: "Eunuch, please return to the palace quickly and don't delay your work."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor." The eunuch knelt and saluted.

Magistrate Wang: …

Judge Zhang: …

After Governor Zhao leaves.

The two of them whispered to each other.

"It's over, it's really over now. How come Governor Zhao has become the governor-general just after entering the palace?" Prefect Wang looked worried: "Do you think he just told the emperor about our affairs at the border?"

"No." Judge Zhang said firmly.

"How can you be so sure?" Magistrate Wang looked confused.

"Do you think that if he had told the emperor about what happened between us, would we still be able to stand here peacefully?" Judge Zhang rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "I'm afraid the emperor would have had us both dragged down and chopped off."

Magistrate Wang: …

"What should we do now?" asked Magistrate Wang worriedly.

Judge Zhang stared at the direction where Governor Zhao left and shook his head silently.

Under the command of Governor Zhao, the epidemic in the border areas is under very good control.

Although there was a land fault in one village, fortunately people were evacuated in time.

The silver for disaster relief from the imperial court has been distributed.

The people affected by the disaster have been well resettled. Some of them have moved to nearby villages where the earthquake was less severe and not affected, and have started a normal life.

In some areas that were severely affected, no epidemics occurred due to the timely supply of medicinal materials and food.

It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.

The affected villages began to rebuild.

I originally thought that this incident would affect the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Concubine Shu was thinking about how to solve this matter.

Lu Zhaolin and Lu Zhaofeng both returned to the capital a week before the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

Concubine Shu finally put her heart at ease.

The Queen Mother's birthday banquet was held as scheduled with great fanfare.

The night before the birthday party.

Concubine Liang and the Queen stood far away on one side of the Imperial Garden, looking at the Imperial Garden that Concubine Shu had worked hard for several days to decorate, with a sly smile on her lips.
