At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

All the officials present, including Xiao Yan who had just walked out of the army, were shocked when they heard the empress allow Xia Yun not to kneel.

The shock on his face reached its peak at this moment.

Since the founding of the Daliang Dynasty.

There has never been a minister who could be rewarded with the privilege of meeting the emperor without bowing!

But Xia Yun did it!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Xia Yun smiled and nodded.

Xu Wan'er, Qin Tianye and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been on high alert before, fearing that something unexpected might happen on the scene.

"My dears, please stand up."

At this time, the empress looked around at all the ministers present.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sun Maocai and others spoke in unison, then slowly stood up from the ground.

However, just as Sun Maocai was about to speak and welcome the empress into Xiamen City.

The empress was smiling a second ago.

Suddenly his eyes turned white and he fainted on the spot!

Xia Yun was quick to act and hugged the empress in his arms, preventing her from falling to the ground.

This scene fell into the eyes of the people around, and they all looked shocked!

It was like seeing something indescribable.

Xia Yun actually hugged His Majesty!

Ever since Xiao Ling'er ascended the throne and became empress, no man has ever dared to make such a bold move!

"Someone come quickly, His Majesty has fainted!

Xia Yun remained calm in the face of danger. Although he was holding Xiao Ling'er's delicate body in his arms, he had no distracting thoughts in his heart.

He could sense it clearly.

The empress's situation is very critical at the moment.

Xiao Yan also reacted at this time and hurriedly called the accompanying medical officer.

When the medical officer arrived, he immediately began to take the empress's pulse on the spot.

The hearts of everyone present were in their throats.

The empress suddenly fainted and no one knew why.

Once something happens to the empress, it is conceivable that the entire Daliang Dynasty will fall into turmoil.

The medical officer who was taking the patient's pulse also looked very nervous.

However, after the medical officer took the patient's pulse for dozens of breaths, his originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed.

"Your Majesty is in good health, but you are exhausted physically and mentally from running around for days. Your Majesty just needs to rest for a while, and you will wake up naturally."

The medical officer gave the diagnosis on the spot.

After hearing this, everyone in the room felt relieved.

"Lord Sun, prepare the carriage immediately and take His Majesty to the palace for recuperation.

At this moment, the empress was still in Xia Yun's arms.

Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, Xia Yun finally realized that his behavior was indeed a bit abrupt.

But that was the situation at that time.

Obviously, he had no better choice than to hold the empress in his arms.

"Okay, Master Xia!

After Sun Maocai received the order.

He immediately asked his servants to bring a luxuriously decorated carriage.

Now that he has learned that Xia Yun's distinguished guest is His Majesty, he dare not slack off in the slightest.

Xia Yun then carried the emperor onto the carriage.

Yun'er and several maids also got on the carriage.

Not long after, under Xia Yun's arrangement, Xu Wan'er led three thousand cavalrymen to personally escort the empress's carriage to the palace arranged by Sun Maocai.

As for Xia Yun.

Did not go together.

Men and women should not touch each other, not to mention that Xiao Ling'er is the current emperor of Daliang.

If he followed, something would be wrong.

After the emergency was dealt with, Xia Yun's attention shifted to Xiao Yan.

"Your Majesty."

Xia Yun spoke first.

"Xia Yun, how are you?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go into the city and talk."

Xia Yun glanced around.

Although Xiao Ling'er has already made progress.

But at this moment, a group of senior officials from Fujian Province still remained below the city gate.

After all, they didn't dare to act on their own without Xia Yun's permission.

"Alright.

Xiao Yan nodded again.

Not long after, Xia Yun, greeted by a group of Fujian officials, led his army and officially entered Xiamen City!

In Xiamen city.

The residence that Sun Maocai prepared for Xia Yun was only a dozen meters away from the governor's office.

To be more precise.

Xia Yun’s temporary residence was right next to the governor’s office.

Sun Maocai's move was originally intended to make it easier to contact Xia Yun.

The palace where the empress lived was hundreds of meters away from the governor's office.

After the army entered the city.

Sun Maocai arranged the army in the military camp in the city.

After Xia Yun wiped out all 30,000 Japanese pirates in Nan'an City, except for leaving a few thousand soldiers for garrison, the remaining 100,000 troops were all brought to Xiamen.

At the same time, Sun Maocai had already arranged a sumptuous celebration banquet in the military camp.

With Xia Yun's consent, the 100,000-strong army got a rare opportunity to relax.

The celebration banquet was hosted by Qin Tianye. After the prohibition of alcohol was lifted, almost all the soldiers drank heavily at the celebration banquet.

As for Xia Yun, he did not participate in the celebration banquet.

Inside the temporary residence.

Xia Yunzheng, Xiao Yan, Sun Maocai and others gathered together.

"My Lord, what is going on?

In the lobby of the temporary residence.

After everyone was seated, Xia Yun spoke up and asked the question that was in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan sighed. "

"Half a month ago, your majesty wanted to go on a private visit in disguise. I was unable to stop him and had to follow your majesty."

"Then His Majesty chose Hangzhou as the destination for his incognito visit."

Xiao Yan immediately began to explain.

However, when he mentioned the word Hangzhou, he looked at Xia Yun meaningfully.

Seeing this, Xia Yun smiled helplessly.

"I believe that the prince and His Majesty have already seen Hangzhou today."

Xia Yun looked calm and composed while talking.

He knew that this day would come sooner or later.

"Hangzhou City...is indeed unique."

Xiao Yan thought for a moment, not knowing how to answer Xia Yun.

They not only saw the prosperity of Hangzhou City, but also saw various phenomena in Hangzhou City that were not in line with the court regulations.

"I wonder how the prince and His Majesty plan to deal with Xia?"

Xia Yun smiled.

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yan's pupils.

He had intended to avoid this topic in front of Xia Yun.

But I didn't expect Xia Yun to mention it on his own initiative.

"Xia Yun...you are too serious."

After some thought, Xiao Yan gave this answer.

In fact, his answer was entirely based on his own understanding of the empress.

During their trip to Hangzhou, they did see many phenomena that were not in line with the court regulations.

But Xiao Ling'er seemed to have expected it and was not angry.

This is also the most confusing thing in Xiao Yan's heart.

If it were any other local official who dared to build a city wall more magnificent than that of the capital, Xiao Ling'er would definitely be furious.

The punishment could be light, with property confiscated and exile imposed; severe, execution in the autumn.

Only when it came to Xia Yun, Xiao Ling'er not only did not punish him at all.

Instead, after meeting Xia Yun, he granted him the special right to meet the emperor without bowing.

In his eyes, all these signs indicate.

The relationship between Xiao Ling'er and Xia Yun seems to be unusual.
