The moonlight was like frost, sprinkling on the palace walls and illuminating the slightly tired face of the Empress Dowager.

She looked at Ah Zi in front of her, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Xiao Yunxi, this woman is indeed extraordinary, loyal and a perfect match for Yi Hantian. However, I have never been able to solve the mystery of her previous life. Fortunately, the opportunity came and I was able to set things right. Otherwise, how could I face the late emperor? But this opportunity only comes once, you and I must cherish it and ensure that they are safe."

Ah Zi nodded slightly, her eyes revealing her admiration for the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager is right. The affairs of the country are arduous and there is a long way to go. But looking at Daqing now, although it is prosperous, the great powers are eyeing it covetously, and their desire to spy on it has never diminished. The danger of Daqing is like a sword hanging over its head, which may fall at any time."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said slowly: "I know you are worried, but I have my considerations. Xiao Yunxi, she is not just alone, she has the support of General Lin and Xiao Yushi behind her; and Yi Han, he is the nephew of Wu'an Hou.

The combination of the two of them will undoubtedly bring together several powerful forces, which will be a great help to Daqing."

Lady Bei Minghou listened to the scene. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she had to admit that the Empress Dowager was very thoughtful. She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the moonlight, and thought: "But if something goes wrong with this arrangement, the consequences will be disastrous."

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly, as if she had already anticipated her worries: "Azi, don't worry. I have already made a perfect plan. When the time is right, I will be able to make a decisive move."

At this time, Bei Ming Hou's wife suddenly turned around and looked at the Empress Dowager in confusion: "But, if you make such an arrangement, what should you do? Dongfang Emperor's uncle asked you to come back from Zhuque Mountain to take charge, but now you have handed over the important tasks to Yi Han and Yun Xi. What are you going to do now?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head slightly and did not answer her question directly. Instead, she turned and walked towards the inner room, saying, "I have my own arrangements. Don't worry."

Lady Bei Minghou looked at her back and felt an inexplicable awe in her heart.

She knew that this seemingly weak woman actually possessed wisdom and courage that were no less than any man.

She once carried the entire Daqing on her shoulders.

When Yun Xi left the palace, Jing Ting had been waiting outside the palace for a long time.

When he saw Yun Xi coming out, he hurried forward and helped her into his carriage.

Yun Xi asked in confusion: "Why are you so careful? It's not like we are shameful."

Yi Han coughed lightly and explained, "We haven't gotten married yet. If someone sees you and I riding in the same car, it will inevitably cause gossip. I'm doing this for your own good."

Yun Xi felt warm in her heart and gently held his hand: "I know you did it for me. But I don't care about those gossips, I only care about you."

Yi Han was touched and held her hand tightly: "Me too. Yun Xi, no matter what happens in the future, I will protect you forever."

Yi Han watched her brows relax and her eyes brighten, and he became suspicious and asked, "After the Empress Dowager talked to you, your expression obviously changed. What did she say?"

"The Empress Dowager has told me everything I want to know." Yun Xi leaned lightly on his shoulder and finally felt the deep bond between them.

Once, even when she was about to get married, she often doubted whether this happiness was real.

Now, she finally understood that this man belonged to her. No matter what honor the emperor gave her, she would stand firmly by his side and no longer deny herself.
