Herme's breath seemed to be absent.

When the Queen left her behind from Princess Lingxi, her end was already doomed.

She was lying on the cold ground, her dark hair scattered all over the floor, and these hairs were all pulled out of her head by Grandma Teach.

"The Queen, this cheap servant is about to die, what do you think the Queen is going to do with her?" Aunt Jiaoyin asked, looking at the bald head in front of her.

The queen was raising her hands, letting another nun bandage her wound.

The previous anger made her break off her nails in a rage, and the pain made her hate the people in front of her even more: "The guards guarding the corner gate have worked hard. Wash her and send her over. Let everyone eat meat."

"Mother... don't..." Herme's voice was hoarse and she begged with all her strength.

The queen looked at her with a sneer: "Don't you like to climb on the bed? Then let you climb as much as you can at one time."

Early the next morning, the carriage drove out of the corner gate.

Several satisfied guards threw Herme's naked body into the carriage, then closed the door and smiled sarcastically at the nun: "Next time, nanny, please be merciful. Every time you slap a bald head, we brothers will not be happy." ah."

"roll!"

"Yes……"

The dilapidated carriage sped towards the outside of the city, leaving the deep palaces of the imperial city behind.

I don't know where the deserted grassland will be the final destination of this northern Xinjiang woman.

……

Four months have passed since the plan to reopen border trade was proposed at the [-]th meeting of the first lunar month, to when the third prince Wu Tianxiao personally took people to the border to sort out the detailed rules and regulations, and to today.

In today's Great Zhou, the scale of border caravans has increased dozens of times. In the past, rare foreign items no longer need to be smuggled into the capital, but are openly transported to all the intercity lanes of Great Zhou by caravans stretching for miles.

Ordinary people can also afford goods that previously cost dozens of times to obtain.

The crowded Honglu Temple in Beijing also became lively, and even the surrounding Luming Street became prosperous.

Xu Rongrong took out four house deeds from the box and told Luo Shu to take them to a tooth shop and sell them.

"Miss, I see that Luming Street is now full of foreign businessmen. I guess the prices of the houses there are going to rise. Wouldn't it be a pity if we sell half of them now?" Luo Shu was puzzled.

"You also said that there are people living there. Wouldn't it be suspicious if our eight small courtyards are always uninhabited? Yaxing will definitely keep an eye on us, and then the identity of 'Tao Gong' may be exposed." Xu Rongrong looked at the little money fan next to him and said with a smile, "Besides, when I bought a shop on Luming Street, I was also afraid that the money I left behind would be stolen by Xu Liu's family. Now this danger is no longer there. Instead of leaving it on the house, it is better to collect it." Come back soon...the bills of the porcelain shop these days are simply too high, which shows how rare this item is."

"Have you noticed something new, Miss?" When it came to making money, Luo Shu's face was full of excitement.

Xu Rongrong smiled brightly: "Nowadays, foreign businessmen come to Beijing to purchase porcelain and the demand exceeds the supply. I would like to hire a caravan to sell the porcelain directly to foreign countries!"

"Miss, do you want to build a caravan?"

"Yes." Xu Rongrong nodded, "With your own caravan, you can not only sell porcelain... but also medicinal materials. You can also sell other goods in the future. It is better than sitting in a shop waiting for business opportunities."

Luo Shu swallowed his saliva and grabbed the four house deeds on Luming Street in his hand: "I'll do it now, slave!"

It has only been four months, and there has already been such a profound change. If time had passed, I wonder what would have happened... Xu Rongrong thought with her chin in her hands.

……

The third prince Wu Tianxiao's trip to the border not only successfully reopened trade.

He also recovered people who were sold to foreign countries by the former Prince's Palace. This time he returned to Beijing and brought back more than 30 people. He also left some guards behind to continue searching for the whereabouts of others.

What Wu Tianxiao did was in sharp contrast to the unethical things done by the deposed prince, Chang Jing and others.

He received a lot of praise from the court.

And this kind of praise and comparison made the queen resentful.

Why would Wu Tianxiao step on her son today!

After Prince Wu Tian'ao was deposed as Prince An, the Queen's thoughts became increasingly unpredictable.

In front of others, she is the master of the harem in the world.

In front of the emperor, she lost her support and had to be cautious. She only hoped for His Majesty's mercy.

And only she and the people around her know that she is always plotting how to restore King An to the crown prince!

It was precisely because of her scheme that Wu Tianxiao became a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh.

But when everything was still uncertain, she had to hide everything and hide it again.

That night, the emperor came to the Queen's Palace.

There have been a lot of affairs in the DPRK recently, and he was not planning to enter the harem.

But in the morning and after the court meeting, he heard too many people praise the third prince Wu Tianxiao.

This reminded him of the Queen. Sooner or later, her praise of the Third Prince and her discussion of King An would spread to the harem. If the Queen heard it, she would definitely be very sad. He remembered that she cried bitterly in front of him after King An's incident. He didn't dare to plead for Prince An. The emperor knew that he had to come tonight.

Sure enough, when he came home, the queen's eyes were red, but she pretended to be strong.

He held the queen in his arms and said, "Wen Fei and I have always been good children, Prince An, but it was Chang Jing who led him bad. Now that he is far away from the troubles of the world in Anzhou, he is more carefree than when he was the prince. Wen Fei does not have to worry. "

When the queen heard this, her eyes turned redder.

She nestled on the emperor's chest and responded in a low voice: "Well..."

"The third child has done a good job this time. During his absence, the third emperor's concubine did not know how to enter the palace to pay you respects. I will ask them and their husbands to kowtow to you tomorrow."

"The third prince has just returned to Beijing, why do you bother him?"

"What? Wen Fei still feels sorry for him?"

"The third prince is your majesty's son and my concubine's child. I naturally feel sorry for him. What's more, during this trip to the border, the third prince has made great contributions. Even if your majesty doesn't reward him, why are we still talking about it? he comes?"

"Okay, okay! It's my fault." The emperor smiled, "Who said I won't reward him? He did a good job. I didn't think of how to reward him at the moment. Does Wen Fei have any good ideas?"

What I said just now was originally a test from the Queen.

Now that she heard the emperor saying that he wanted to reward Wu Tianxiao, the queen's eyes were dark and unclear.

Soon, she straightened up: "Rewards are your Majesty's business, and I don't want to take this job. But...since the New Year's Eve family banquet, there has been a big feast in the palace for a long time, so why not take this opportunity to do something for me?" The third prince holds a celebration banquet? Firstly, it can show His Majesty's love for his son, and secondly, it can also let the clan know that there is a successor to the Zhou royal family."

The emperor was slightly startled: "The queen actually loves the third child so much?"

Then he murmured: "Wen Fei is really a rare woman in the world. I am truly lucky to have you as my wife."

The queen blushed slightly: "This is my duty as a concubine."

The emperor looked at the queen's rosy face, and subconsciously touched her fair neck with his fingers, his voice hoarse: "Wen Fei is like this, I really can't put it down."

Such fiery eyes are something the Queen is all too familiar with.
