Naturally, it is a segment that everyone likes to watch.

Surrounded by a huge crowd of people and escorted by the ceremonial guard, the East Factory, eunuchs, and soldiers from the Five Cities, Her Majesty the Empress of Da Qi patrolled the entire street in a very impressive manner.

The people around them, whether they were genuinely happy or pretending to be happy, all shouted joyfully, "Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"

The empress sat on her dragon sedan chair, looking out at her well-fed, smiling subjects. She breathed a sigh of relief. Eunuch Gao, accompanying her, said with a chuckle, "Everyone, look at how well the people live beneath the emperor's feet! Where did the cannibalism talk come from? I think Wang Yuanya must have gone seven days and seven nights without food, and was completely starving! It was just a case of hysteria!"

The empress did not respond, but just watched everything coldly, and then said "hmm" softly.

……

While the emperor's parade was being held here with great bustle, what about the streets on the other side?

The victims, who were pale and thin and half-naked, were crowded together like pigs, driven away by the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingmasi with swords and guns.

Among them, a man wearing coarse linen clothes and a black hat was also mixed in the crowd.

She was full of confusion and whispered to a man in black next to her, "Zhang Shun, what are they doing?"

Zhang Shun sneered, "There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below! Just put on an act for the emperor to see."

Having said this, he turned around and looked at the woman, saying, "Old Mistress! I have a mission to complete, so I can only send you here! Please leave the capital, then go out of the city and head to the land temple three miles away! His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin will be waiting for you there!"

Who is the woman?

Of course it was Huang Suqiu who was replaced and secretly brought out.

My wife has been detained. How could Li Jize let his mother fall into the hands of the enemy?

Huang Suqiu was completely puzzled. She asked back, "What a fool Ji Ze is! If he wants to see his mother, he should just say so directly. Why does he have to do it this way? And be so sneaky!"

Zhang Shun: “…”

This old mistress is really careless. What is the relationship between your son and the empress? Don’t you have any idea?

If the old emperor knew that the King of Qin took his family with him on the expedition, even a fool would know that he would rebel next.

However, Huang Suqiu didn't think much about it!

How could a mother doubt her son?

Just like that, Zhang Shun and Huang Suqiu parted ways here, and she walked towards the city gate by herself.

Everything was going extremely smoothly, but it just happened to be a coincidence, didn't it?

The empress was patrolling the city at this time. For her own safety, and to prevent some poor and ignorant person or disaster victim from jeopardizing her royal carriage, she temporarily sealed off the city!

Huang Suqiu had no choice but to stay there and stare blankly with a group of people waiting to leave the city.

at last……

After the empress's "show" ended, the city gates began to open and everyone could pass through smoothly.

However, when it was Huang Suqiu's turn, she was stopped by the gatekeeper.

why?

Because while she was waiting, the gatekeeper had been staring at her for a long time.

She was dressed in plain linen, but her posture was straight and her skin was fair, making it clear she wasn't some ordinary farmhand. Furthermore, she wore a bamboo hat when she went out, and with that kind of attire, it was impossible not to raise suspicion.

and so……

"Hey! Stop!"

The gatekeeper shouted directly, and Huang Suqiu, who had raised her foot to walk out of the city gate, became embarrassed.

She turned around, bowed and smiled, "My lords, is... is there something going on?"

"It's dark now! Why are you, a woman and alone, leaving the city?"

"Hehe... well... hey! We have to survive, sir! If I don't hurry back, the city gates will be closed and we'll have to spend money to stay in an inn again."

"is it?"

The leader stroked his chin and looked from side to side at Huang Suqiu. Finally, he drew his knife and scolded her, "I think you're a spy of the bandits! Take off your hat and let me see."

"This……"

"Hurry up! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Hey, take it, take it! Really!"

As she spoke, Huang Suqiu took off her bamboo hat and waited until the soldier at the door saw her face...

For a moment, everyone's face changed drastically with fear!

In the capital, especially in the military, who doesn't know General Li Jin of the Li family? And who doesn't know his wife?

Immediately, the soldier's face changed drastically with fear, and he quickly slapped himself twice.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I offended you, Madam General! I deserve to die!"

"Hey hey..."

Seeing him slapping himself repeatedly, Huang Suqiu quickly stopped him and sighed, "Forget it! You're also working, this is your responsibility! How can I blame you?"

"Thank you, madam!"

The soldier said this with a flattering look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Madam, where are you going?"

Fearing that Huang Suqiu might misunderstand, he quickly added, "It's not peaceful out here. Do you want me to find some brothers to escort you over?"

"Oh, no need! No need! I heard that the land temple three miles outside the city is very powerful. Let's go and worship there! You know, my husband and son are leading the troops to war. I am worried about them."

Huang Suqiu's smiling words left the soldiers confused.

They also don’t understand why they have to worship the land when leading troops to war to ensure safety!

but……

Her husband is General Li Jin and her son is the King of Qin. Who dares to mess with her?

If she wants to worship the land, let her worship the land!

The soldier smiled and quickly called out to the brothers in front of him, "Let them pass! Let them pass! Madam, please come in!"

Huang Suqiu nodded, put her hat back on, and walked out of the city gate amid the flattering smiles of a group of soldiers.

It can be said that everything has gone very smoothly up to here!

until……

Tap! Tap!

There was a sound of galloping horses, and the rider shouted loudly, "Wait!"

Huang Suqiu froze on the spot, motionless.

When the soldiers at the city gate saw the people coming on horseback, they were so scared that they all knelt on the ground.

"Meet the General!"

The person who came was none other than Li Jize's half-brother Li Jihuan.

Although he was shot and inexplicably bedridden, he somehow escaped the war.

I just didn't expect that he would appear here while riding a horse with an injury?

Li Jihuan was riding on his horse, looking at the back of a woman wearing a conical hat and standing motionless with her back to him. He covered his mouth and coughed.

"Ahem...what's up? Auntie, where are you going so late?"

Huang Suqiu: “…”

"His Royal Highness Prince Qin's mother, it's almost dark, so it's not appropriate for you to go out dressed like this!"
