Both of them were startled and looked out the door.

Murong Xiao was especially shocked.

Qi Fengshan was a civil servant, so it was understandable that he couldn't hear what was going on outside, but it was a bit incredible that he couldn't detect when Chu Zhao was approaching due to his ability to hear from all directions.

Unless Chu Zhao also knows kung fu, can step on the snow without leaving a trace, is as light as a swallow, and can control his breath at the same time.

Murong Xiao frowned and couldn't help but begin to suspect that the people who escaped in the forest before were her and Xie Chengfeng.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Chu Zhao say "just arrived", then opened the door and walked in with a very casual expression, as natural as entering and exiting his own bedroom.

Seeing Qi Fengshan, she stopped and looked at him with a half-smile: "This should be Mr. Qi, whom the prince has praised so much, right?"

"..."

Qi Fengshan and Murong Xiao looked at each other. Seeing that Murong Xiao had no intention of speaking, he stood up and bowed his head to Chu Zhao: "Your Majesty, Qi Fengshan has met the princess."

"Excuse me." Chu Zhao raised her hand, unfolded her broad sleeves, and moved smoothly, as if she had done this action thousands of times.

Qi Fengshan was in a trance for a moment.

It didn't feel like I was saluting a princess, but rather I was saluting an emperor.

An emperor's excuse and a slight raise of his hand are the greatest grace given to oneself.

"Thank you, Princess." He suppressed the shock in his heart and stood up, taking a few steps back.

Murong Xiao then said quietly: "When did the princess come? Why didn't anyone tell her?"

"The guards wanted to send a message, but I refused." Chu Zhao said, "I have something urgent to see the prince, and I don't want to waste time waiting for them to run back and forth."

"What about you?" Murong Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Beiyuan behind him.

Beiyuan hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "It was convenient for me to go down. I thought I would be back soon, so I didn't arrange for anyone else to guard the door. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Excuse me?" Murong Xiao said sternly, "Fortunately it's the princess who comes. What if it's an assassin?"

"How could the assassin dare to come in broad daylight?" Chu Zhao said, "Your Majesty, please don't criticize me. I just arrived and I didn't hear anything. Besides, even if I heard it, it doesn't matter. I took the risk." The risk of killing the nine tribes has been prepared for the prince, so why is the prince still on guard against me?"

Murong Xiao was speechless.

He really couldn't defeat Chu Zhao.

There is never a time when this woman is irrational, she always has something to say no matter what.

"So, what is this big thing that makes the princess unable to wait for the news?" He asked in a deep voice.

Chu Zhao took two steps forward and said seriously: "Fang Weixian left for Beijing yesterday. I don't know if the prince's medicine has been sent out. We have to get it done at least half a month ahead of Fang Weixian to avoid being suspected to the greatest extent." .”

If the Queen Mother fell ill again after Fang Weixian returned to Beijing to promote her medical skills, then it would appear that Fang Weixian was deliberately recommending her to the Queen Mother.

If the two foxes of the He family become suspicious, and think that she is the savior of the Fang family, they will naturally think that Fang Weixian has been bribed by her.

In this way, instead of issuing an order to summon her to Beijing, they might even use this as an excuse to directly send troops to destroy the Jingnan Palace.

"Don't worry, Princess. I have sent people to rush to the capital at high speed." Murong Xiao said, "Fang Weixian is a civil servant. He will travel by carriage at least half a month later than our people. This time difference is enough."

"Okay, this puts me at ease." Chu Zhao said, "In the coming time, the prince must seize the time to train his troops and be ready to go to Beijing at any time."

Murong Xiao nodded and said, "I know this."

Chu Zhao thought of something and then reminded him: "Military training requires some generals who have actually been on the battlefield and fought from thousands of troops to teach the soldiers more practical experience. This has not happened in the southwest for many years." In a large-scale war, I’m afraid the prince doesn’t have many generals like this, right?”

"It's really not much, but it's not nothing." Murong Xiao said.

Chu Zhao frowned and thought for a moment: "The Zhang Xingzhou that the prince mentioned last time is really useful right now."

"You're right." Murong Xiao thought of Zhang Xingzhou and hurriedly waved to Beiyuan, "You should leave for Shuzhou immediately to pick Zhang Xingzhou up. The sooner the better."

"Yes." Beiyuan was still kneeling on the ground, worried about whether the prince would punish him for neglecting his duties. When he heard that he was asked to go to Shuzhou, he agreed, got up and left.

As long as he runs fast enough, the prince can't punish him.

After Beiyuan left, Chu Zhao and Murong Xiao said: "If there is a war in the future, a large number of military doctors will be needed. The prince knows that I can suture wounds. I plan to train all the people from the Yun family of the Divine Doctor Hall to become military doctors so that they can What does the prince think of going out with the army to treat the wounded?"

Murong Xiao was very surprised. He didn't expect that she would even consider the accompanying military doctor.

"Good military doctors have always been a rare commodity. If the princess is willing to teach, it is naturally good, but it will be hard for the princess."

"It's not hard work." Chu Zhao said, "That's all I can do for the prince."

Murong Xiao saw that she was serious about what she said, and his nerves, which had been on high alert since she entered the door, relaxed unconsciously.

"Don't worry, after this busy period, I will keep my promise and hand over the stewardship to you. You will always be my only wife."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Zhao said, "I just said casually at the time, it doesn't matter who is in charge of this family. Now I have to be busy with the affairs of the Divine Medical Hall. I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of the chores in the house, so Concubine Su will continue to do it for me. Bar!"

Who cares about being a housekeeper in the back house? She has to take care of the world.

Some people just wanted to scheming with her, but she ignored them.

Because those people didn't deserve to waste her precious time.

Murong Xiao and Qi Fengshan had a serious discussion on the matter of stewardship a few days ago. Murong Xiao was even worried about how to mention it to Concubine Su. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhao just said he didn’t want it, and it was worse than throwing it away. A sour steamed bun is simple.

Qi Fengshan looked at her calm face in disbelief, and the strange feeling just now came again.

The way the princess looked at the housekeeper with disdain was like the feeling of a person who has seen the big rivers and the sea, looking at a small puddle on the roadside, with three words written all over her face: Who cares!

How could she not be curious about it?

Isn't this what the women in the back house fight for every day?

The princess doesn't care about these, so what does she care about?

Does she want more power?

Qi Fengshan was agitated, and suddenly remembered a sentence he didn't know where to say - never underestimate a woman.

He vaguely felt that his previous view of the princess seemed biased. Perhaps the princess was really an ambitious woman.

Just like Emperor Xihe back then, who would have thought that the person who finally brought peace to the troubled times and unified the world would be a woman?

So, is it possible that both he and the prince underestimated the princess?

Perhaps, from the day the princess returned home, she had transformed from a chess piece to a chess player, but no one was aware of it yet...
