The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Xiao Yuanhuai pondered for a moment, as if he understood what she meant, but was still a little confused.

"You mean to leave the palace under the pretext of going to the Fahua Temple?"

"Yes!" Shen Baozhao sighed. The scope of this plague was too wide and the condition was very serious.

She was really worried and had to go and see it in person.

"Then have someone disguise themselves as me and ride the phoenix chariot to the Fahua Temple. I will quietly take Envoy Zeng to Baohe Hall to take a look."

When Xiao Yuanhuai heard that she was going to contact the patients, he was about to object.

"Ah Huai, I don't know where the master has gone to travel again. I'm not bragging, but I'm afraid there is no doctor in Dali today who has better medical skills than me.

I want to help you solve the plague issue as soon as possible."

Xiao Yuanhuai couldn't stand her gaze, so he turned his face away and thought.

Shen Baozhao straightened his face and made him look into her eyes.

"I can't keep hiding behind you and enjoying everything you bring me. If I can't stand up for you when you are in such a difficult time, then what kind of husband and wife are we?

Aren’t husband and wife supposed to share weal and woe? "

Xiao Yuanhuai's expression relaxed a little after hearing this. They were husband and wife, had done the most intimate things, and knew all of each other's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness.

She knew how to convince him, and there was no way he could not agree.

But he was still worried.

"Ah Huai, don't be afraid. Trust me, ok?"

Xiao Yuanhuai leaned his head on her chest and hummed weakly.

Would it be useful if he didn't agree? She would probably do what she had decided to do even if she had to climb over the wall and leave the palace.

Since he can't trap her, let him protect her well.

"You can leave the palace, but I want to accompany you."

"Ah Huai, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. Moreover, you are the monarch of Dali. Just assign a few skilled secret guards to me."

Xiao Yuanhuai's face looked grim. Was she trying to make him die of heartache?

Shen Baozhao felt that this man was too difficult to talk to, but she couldn't lose her temper at this critical moment. Otherwise, if he really didn't let her leave the palace, she would be in trouble.

Patiently persuaded: "Ahuai, you have more important things to do."

"I always feel that the court officials forced me to leave the palace this time with a premeditated plan. Who knows what is waiting for me in the Fahua Temple.

Besides, if you don't accompany them to the Fahua Temple, how can they believe that it is me who is going there?"

"You going to the Fahua Temple can also help me better divert those who want to deal with me secretly, right?"

Xiao Yuanhuai thought of the information provided by the secret guards recently. There seemed to be some unusual movements in Li Min's hiding place. His grandfather even went there in person, and it was unknown what they were discussing.

Although it would be easy to wipe them out in one fell swoop, my grandfather is now a hidden cancer.

His reputation among scholars is extremely high, and without solid evidence, it is impossible to deal with him.

You can only play the long game to catch the big fish.

Seeing his expression, Shen Baozhao knew that he had accepted her arrangement and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, the chicken soup is cold."

"Bixiao, have someone bring another lamp."

Xiao Yuanhuai was amused by her cute expression, "It's okay, it's still warm. I'll drink it."

"Well, that's good." Shen Baozhao said as if he was coaxing a child.

The next morning, Xiao Yuanhuai announced at the morning court that he and the queen would go to the Fahua Temple the next day to pray for the thousands of people of Dali.

Mei Hanlin originally looked calm and composed, but when he heard that Xiao Yuanhuai was also going to Fahua Temple, he was a little stunned.

In this case, it would be difficult to start. He knew Xiao Yuanhuai's skills.

He lowered his head, his eyes dark and a little worried.

However, this was a golden opportunity that he had planned in many ways. He couldn't give it up just because Xiao Yuanhuai was going with him.

If we miss this opportunity, the queen will hide in the harem in the future and it will be extremely difficult to kill her!

After the court was dismissed, he walked slowly out of the palace with his hands clasped.

Mei Qianhe had a really happy time these days. Although he was still busy with official duties, Duan Ning would occasionally come to the office to pick him up after work.

When he is free, he will take her out to play. Duan Ning is as innocent as a child. He seems to be full of energy when he is with her every day.

But when he saw Mei Hanlin staggering and walking alone, he felt indescribably uncomfortable in his heart.

He took three or two steps forward, wanting to support him. But when Mei Hanlin turned around and saw that it was Mei Qianhe, he rejected his kindness with a cold face.

"The Mei Mansion and the County Lady's Mansion are not on the same route, and I am not too old to walk."

Mei Qianhe stood there in a daze until Xue Sheng patted him on the shoulder from behind him and then he reacted.

Xue Shengren was in high spirits because of the happy event. Although his daughter had been born for a month, his excitement of being a father for the first time had not yet passed.

Seeing Mei Qianhe looking depressed, it is natural to try to give her some advice.

"Your grandfather just can't figure it out for the time being. It will get better over time."

Mei Qianhe lives in a separate house, and Duan Ning is the most direct beneficiary. Xue Sheng is also very satisfied with Mei Qianhe, his brother-in-law.

Comfort him patiently.

Mei Qianhe was not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters, and he soon felt relieved.

It's hard to have the best of both worlds, and he knew what his grandfather would like to see most.

Since his grandfather could not forgive him for this matter, he could only do his job well and go further in his official career so as to live up to his grandfather's expectations of him since he was a child.

Mei Hanlin stepped into the carriage with his old steps and hobbled.

Chiwa had always been his pride, and she still was. He wasn't really angry with him, on the contrary, it was exactly what he wanted for him to live in another place.

Now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Everything is planned by him alone.

If the truth comes out, it doesn't matter if the other mediocre children of the Mei family are implicated, but Qianhe absolutely cannot do that.

As long as Qianhe is still alive, he will not be sorry for the ancestors of the Mei family.

Similarly, if his assassination was successful, Qianhe would become Ruolan's assistant.

The Princess's Mansion has no choice but to be led by the Mei Mansion, unless they give up their daughter Duan Ning!

Success or failure depends on tomorrow!

No, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!

Mei Hanlin's carriage slowly drove towards the Mei Mansion, and Kunning Palace was also ready to go.

"Your Majesty, let me disguise myself and take your place." Qingkong said with a worried look and a hint of pleading.

Her figure is similar to that of the empress, and she had disguised herself as the empress a long time ago to escape a substitutionary marriage.

Shen Baozhao shook his head and refused.

Qingkong and Bixiao are like sisters to her, so she naturally would not let them fall into danger.

What's more, going to the Fahua Temple to pray for blessings this time is likely to be dangerous. Qingkong does not know martial arts and does not even have the ability to protect himself.

"Silly girl, His Majesty has so many assassins, there are plenty of candidates. What are you worrying about?"

Although there might not be anyone with a similar body shape to her among the assassins, she should not be noticeable if she is dressed as a pregnant woman.

"Bixiao will accompany me out of the palace tomorrow. Qingkong, you will take care of Kunning Palace for me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two received the order and went down to prepare the things they would need for tomorrow.
