Sister, you traveled through time too?

It was not until it was completely dark that Tang Zhao held the sleeping Xiao Baiyun and said goodbye to Xiao Yu.

The child had been excited all day and was now sleeping soundly.

Qiuzhe arranged for someone to fetch two high-quality silk and cotton soft pillows so that Baiyun in the carriage could sleep peacefully.

As soon as Tang Zhao got on the carriage, he saw the two comfortable soft pillows and couldn't help but take another look at Qiu Zhe.

"My sister-in-law is a careful person."

"Sister, you found a treasure."

As he spoke, he went to look at Xiaoyu. Seeing Xiaoyu laughing happily, he understood what his sister had said to him just now.

My sister just said that after she marries Dongxu, she wants to make Qiuzhe her concubine.

Tang Zhao thought it was a good thing. After all, Qiuzhe had been with her sister for many years and was a good person who did not fight or compete with her.

But my sister actually said that most of the housekeeping power and household affairs would be left in Qiuzhe's hands.

Tang Zhao didn't understand at first, but seeing how meticulous Qiu Zhe was, she felt it was appropriate.

I think that if the power is handed over to the naive Dong Xu, he will not be able to handle it well. After all, human relationships and social interactions all need someone to take care of.

Dong Xu is also a straightforward, simple and good-natured person. I think my sister's house will be in order in the future and there will be no trouble.

After Tang Zhao left, Xiaoyu took Qiuzhe to the mansion.

She brought Qiuzhe to her yard, both of them were slightly drunk.

There was a hangover soup in the house, but no one drank it.

They looked at each other affectionately, and the smell of alcohol turned into an ambiguous fuse, which only needed a little to ignite a raging flame.

Cuizhi raised her eyebrows and looked at Cuiling. The two of them dragged Xiao Jinbao away very tactfully.

Suddenly there were only two people left in the room.

"Azhe, you are always so thoughtful. You do a great job."

"These are given to you by me. Please accept them and don't refuse. I always feel indebted to you."

Xiaoyu said this and handed the prepared land deed and shop silver note to Qiuzhe.

"It is Ah Zhe's responsibility to share Madam's worries."

"I dare not refuse the gift from Madam. I already have more than enough, and I don't want anything more."

"I only wish to be by your side forever, and to share your worries."

After Qiuzhe finished speaking, he gently gathered up the loose hair around Xiaoyu's temples.

Xiaoyu stroked Qiuzhe's face, and there was an ambiguous and blurred feeling between their breathing.

"Ah Zhe, don't be sad."

Xiaoyu kissed him deeply and whispered comforting words in his ear.

Qiuzhe understood what Xiaoyu was saying.

It is to tell him not to be sad about his master's affairs.

"As long as Ah Zhe is always by my wife's side, I have nothing else to ask for."

"As long as Madam has A-Zhe in her heart, it will be enough."

After saying that, Qiuzhe picked up Xiaoyu, and they hugged and kissed each other.

The smell of alcohol was spraying on their faces. Xiaoyu looked into his eyes and stopped talking about the joys and sorrows.

Perhaps it is the love that is rising tonight that is causing me to feel other emotions that do not need to be expressed in words.

There was a meaningful breath in the intertwined kiss, and there was no need to mention anything at this moment.

The ground is in a mess, even the moon is ashamed to hide in the clouds, no one will hear the singing tonight,

That is a secret that belongs only to the two of them.

……

Tang Zhao returned to the palace and ordered people to take Bai Yun away to rest. Then she went to see Jiang Dehai who looked anxious.

He just glanced at Jiang Dehai and understood what was going on.

In fact, he had been avoiding it all day. He dismissed the palace servants and did not allow Jiang Dehai to follow him.

He just took Baiyun and the little child and hid in his sister's house.

He and Jiang Dehai told him not to disturb them even if the sky fell.

In fact, he was just afraid of hearing it, afraid of hearing everything about Hai Wan.

"She must be very sad and must hate me."

Tang Zhao just thought about it, and his heart gradually began to feel heavy.

He never dared to face Hai Wan, so he kept avoiding her today.

He tried to get along well with everyone and tried not to think about Hai Wan.

I just drink glass after glass of wine, but it doesn't relieve my worries or bring me a big dream.

Hai Wan's appearance and various scenes of her kept appearing in his mind.

He thought of her cautiousness when they first met.

Thinking of her seriousness, secretly eating the dishes,

Thinking of her slowly letting down her guard and opening up to me,

Thinking of the clothes, shoes, socks, meals, and sachets she made for me,

Thinking of them eating, chatting, and traveling together,

They are not husband and wife, not lovers, and he doesn't even know what the relationship between him and Hai Wan is.

He never had any romantic feelings for Hai Wan, nor had he ever had any physical contact with her.

But they really seem like a loving couple in most cases.

An ordinary and loving couple.

She would wear a simple bun and give herself a warm smile.

She can make all kinds of little things to amuse herself and make herself feel the warmth of the deep palace.

Tang Zhao didn’t know what was wrong with her, but Hai Wan was really good, really, really good.

Even though he never had any feelings of love for Hai Wan, he was used to having her around.

He already regarded her as a family member, a friend, and a comfort.

Feeling guilty, Tang Zhao said to Jiang Dehai with a heavy face:

"How is she?"

Jiang Dehai lowered his head, knowing that the Emperor was asking about the Empress.

He couldn't help but sigh, and then he spoke:

"Your Majesty, the Queen..."

"She wrote a confession of guilt, returned the Phoenix Seal, and asked to go to the Holy Temple to live out the rest of her life."

"The servants in the queen's palace also left like monkeys scattering when the tree falls, leaving only the two dowry maids to guard it."

"The Queen is still in Jingren Palace, waiting for your decision."

After Jiang Dehai finished speaking, a look of worry appeared on his face.

He took to heart all the kindness the Queen had shown to the Emperor.

The Emperor also always treated the Empress differently. It was so hard for the Emperor to have such a close friend, and he really couldn't bear to see the Emperor and the Empress separated.

But now that things have come to this, Jiang Dehai knows that there is no other way.

When Tang Zhao heard this, she felt even more sad.

She actually asked to leave on her own?

Did he actually write a confession of guilt and hand over the Phoenix Seal himself?

Tang Zhao knew that Hai Wan could no longer be the queen, but she never expected that she would hand over power on her own.

Don't you want to embarrass him?

He felt even more guilty, and an intense sadness filled his entire heart.

He walked quickly towards Jingren Palace without even stopping along the way.

Jiang Dehai had to jog to catch up with Tang Zhao.

When Tang Zhao arrived at Jingren Palace, she truly saw what it meant when the monkeys scatter after the tree falls.

The entire Jingren Palace was unusually quiet. There was no one in the huge palace. All kinds of things were scattered on the ground, including brooms, buckets, and flower plates.

Usually, Jingren Palace was very lively, and you could hear the noise before you even stepped into it.

Everything in the palace was in order, not as desolate and messy as it is now.

Tang Zhao felt uncomfortable and a little angry.

He hadn't said anything yet, and these palace servants just ran away?

He was about to order the execution of these palace servants, but then he thought, it seems that everyone is like this, everyone is in danger.

This is just human nature.

But he was feeling sad and hesitant in front of the only house with lights on.
