The baby-making system is unreliable

This person was Liu Zhi, the head maid in her palace. She had taken care of her food, clothing, and daily life since she was a child and knew her best.

"I can see again. Who cured me? Where is the Imperial Master?!" Yun Xirou put her right hand on her forehead and closed her eyes as usual, remembering that it was the Imperial Master who came here today to find her.

I thought he had some important business, and it turned out that he was worried about her running the government, so he specially asked her to go out of the city to "give lessons". I don't know what he put in his tea, but it made me want to sleep.

"Your Majesty, it was Young Master Liang who cured your eye disease. I heard that Young Master...the imperial teacher is still on Tiaolu Mountain." Liu Zhi had followed her since she was a child, so she naturally understood her thoughts. She knew that although the imperial teacher had now left the imperial city, the empress had never dismissed the imperial teacher.

Otherwise, why would he go out of town to meet him? ? There were no more than three people in Yongchang who had this treatment, but that person happened to be one of them.

"Now, it's getting late, and Your Majesty has an early court tomorrow, so... you should return to the city quickly!" Liu Zhi reminded in a low voice, lowering his head and looking at his feet, too respectful to say more, the current situation is different from before.

Now the person in front of her is the Empress, the heart of an emperor is no different from others, so she has to be more careful when serving her! !

"..." Yun Xirou was speechless for a moment, and glanced coldly at the person who lowered her head. Does she look so stupid? !

Wouldn't it be better for Liang Kongming to treat her in the palace? ! Why did he have to treat her when she was out of town for an appointment? How could such a coincidence happen in the world! !

There must be something fishy going on, but if I ask Liang Kongming now, I won't get anything. Those two must have colluded long ago, but I don't know how they cured her eyes! !

Perhaps the imperial teacher on Tiaolu Mountain was certain that she would not ask too many questions, so he colluded with Liang Kongming to act in this way.

Yun Airou woke up slowly, rubbed her eyebrows, then waved her hand, signaling the maid to leave, and leaned against the wall of the carriage in a daze.

After a while, she seemed to come to her senses. She reached out and lifted the curtain in front of the carriage. A cool breeze blew past, and her fingers felt cold. She looked up at the sky and found that it was gradually getting dark.

"Someone, come faster, we have to get back before it gets dark!" Yun Xirou shouted loudly, with a hint of urgency in her voice.

This place is very close to the mountains. Once it gets late at night, the air will become extremely cold and humid. When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, dangers can easily occur in the mountains and forests.

If you encounter any wild animals or robbers, it is inevitable that you will waste time and unnecessary dangers. It is better to avoid them if possible! !

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Upon hearing the order, the royal guards outside immediately whipped their whips and sped up the carriage.

The vehicle sped along the rugged mountain road, the wheels rolling and raising a cloud of dust. The trees and rocks on both sides of the road passed by quickly, giving people a sense of urgency.

Suddenly, a group of dark figures appeared in front of the carriage, blocking its way. They were holding weapons, had grim faces, and exuded a dangerous aura.

"Protect His Majesty! There is an assassin!" The guards outside the car drew their swords instantly and looked at the enemy ahead vigilantly.

In just a moment, the two groups of people outside started a fierce battle. The flashes of swords and the shadows of sabers intersected, and the shouts of killing rose and fell. Both sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.

The battle became more and more fierce, the ground was dyed red with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The guards did not retreat and fought the enemy to the death.

With a "whoosh" sound, a long arrow cut through the sky and headed straight into the carriage. Yun Xirou was startled and reacted quickly to avoid it, then calmly and vigilantly lifted the curtain.

Liang Kongming retreated repeatedly, dodging everywhere with a medicine box on his back, and rushed towards her, throwing medicine powder from time to time, but he was not good at using force and almost slipped.

"Your Majesty, it is my fault. Please step aside first!" Liu Zhihu stood in front of the carriage, holding a long sword in his hand, looking around vigilantly, regretting that he was careless for a moment and let the assassin disturb His Majesty.

At the same time, another sharp arrow flew towards her. Yun Yirou was quick-witted and grasped the longbow tightly, pulling the string and shooting the arrow quickly.

There was a flash of cold light, and the arrow pierced straight through the arrow flying towards her like lightning, and continued to fly forward, finally hitting a man in black who was about to chop at Liang Kongming.

At this time, there seemed to be the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away. The pedestrians seemed to realize that other people were coming to support them, and they could not easily capture the empress, so they couldn't help but feel like retreating.

"Retreat!" The leader gave an order and everyone around him retreated one after another. In a short while, only debris was left on the ground.

"Your Majesty!! I am late in coming to your rescue, please forgive me!" A man in military uniform came on horseback, his enthusiastic voice was a little excited and carried a bit of heroic spirit, just like the unbridled youth.

With a 'crack' sound from the whip, she pulled back an assassin and dragged him behind the horse.

"Li Yinwan, with your speed, if you had come any later, they would have all run away!!" Yun Xirou stood on the shaft of the carriage and handed the longbow in her hand to Liu Zhi. Thanks to her being a member of the royal family, riding and shooting were skills that she had to learn.

Fortunately, Yun Yurou has the habit of carrying a bow and arrow all year round, otherwise it would be really dangerous. However, these people are not really masters, and the royal secret guards are enough to deal with them.

Yun Xirou lifted her heavy dress and jumped directly off the carriage. She looked coldly at the assassin's body on the ground, pulled out the arrow on the ground and took a look.

The material of the arrow is indeed a good one produced in abundance in Nanyue, and the material of the clothes is not like the fabric produced locally in Yongchang.

Li Yinwan is the second daughter of General Li from the Li family. When she was young, she followed her father in the military camp. She has an older brother, three younger brothers, and two illegitimate sisters.

Counting cousins, there are at least 14 or 15 children in the family. It does sound a bit unbelievable, but it is also hard to explain why it is "reasonable".

Yun Xirou couldn't remember what so many people looked like, and even if she remembered, they wouldn't match up.

However, the only ones who often appeared in the Li family were the brother and sister. Could it be that this was because there were no other activities in ancient times, so they could only have children? ! Yun Xirou couldn't understand it anyway.

In this comparison, it seems that Wen Shengxian's family is already a rare exception. He has only two younger sisters and three or four cousins.

Ahem…what?! If the dance hadn’t been performed in front of her, there was really no need for everyone to remember it. She didn’t have a photographic memory.

How can anyone remember who we are after just one encounter? It’s good enough if you can remember what we were wearing.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry!? There is still one!" Li Yinwan jumped off the horse, glanced at the reins casually, walked a few steps forward to her, and asked nonchalantly and jokingly, as if he knew the answer: "Do you want to chase her!?"

Oh my! Our new empress is really a hot commodity, a hot commodity that everyone wants to test.

Yun Yurou rolled her eyes helplessly and ignored her. She said in a hoarse voice, "You are asking even though you know the answer. There is no need to pursue them. I guess these people must be assassins sent by South Vietnam. Their purpose is to test my strength and reaction."

If I am not mistaken, they must have another plan. In two months, South Vietnam will send an envoy to negotiate peace, and I think this time they are trying to test her.

"Okay, I'll take the people behind me away. I promise to get some information from you, Your Majesty." Li Yinwan said happily, still holding the whip tightly in his hand, as if the intention to torture him was written on his face.

"Don't even think about it!" The man still shouted stubbornly, "Isn't it against etiquette and law for a female emperor to rule?! Sooner or later you will..."

Yun Xirou's eyes turned cold. Before she could give an order, Liu Zhi stepped forward and slapped him in the face: "How dare you! How can you discuss His Majesty?!"

"Bring the horses, we will rush into the city. I leave this man to you. This kind of person is not worth your attention!!" Yun Ai's voice came lightly and calmly, and her tone seemed as if she didn't take the person in front of her seriously at all.

While straightening her wrinkled clothes, she glanced at the other person with contempt.

"If he doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't want to live, just kill him!!" Yun Xirou flicked her sleeves violently, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

She grabbed the saddle with one hand and the reins with the other, nimbly mounted a horse, and then spoke to the people behind her without looking back.

Her words were so cold and ruthless that people could not help but feel a chill in their hearts, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense.

"You know my temper. I will kill any Buddha or demon that stands in my way. How can the King of Nanyue be so angry about a mere assassin? Why bother with me?!"

Yun Xirou sat steadily on her horse, staring firmly ahead without waiting for the other party's response. She exuded an aura of confidence that made people around her dare not approach easily. She really looked a bit like when she first started the rebellion.

"Let's go!" The horse under her neighed, raised its front hooves and rushed forward, and the group headed straight for the imperial city.

……

A month later, official documents piled up in Qi Zheng Hall like a towering mountain, daunting to look at. There were so many scrolls that they almost buried people.

Many officials were busy dealing with official documents. They seemed to be so tired that they all had dark circles under their eyes. You can imagine how many of them there were.

Yun Xirou sat at her desk, yawning, her eyes lazily scanning the mountain of documents. These were all her achievements. She had been busy for these days, working until late at night every day, and finally finished them.

There was a barely perceptible fatigue in her eyes. She put down the red brush in her hand, casually hugged the lazy cat beside her, stroked the cat gracefully, and quietly watched the busy figures of the crowd.

Liang Songqing, the eldest son of the Liang family, happened to look up and saw the empress who had been busy for several days, and winked at his sister.

Liang Moyu understood and stood up, closed the official documents in his hand, walked to Yun Xirou's side, saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the official documents of the past few days have been processed, and the final finishing touches will be left to us!!"

Liang Moyu is the illegitimate daughter of the Liang family. Her biological mother died of illness when she was young. She has been raised by her stepmother for many years. By this time, she is no more capable than a legitimate daughter.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to do this for you. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself! Tomorrow is the day when General Li will return to the capital. Your Majesty will have to go out of the city to welcome him."

Liang Songqing also stood up, holding his straight body, looking like a typical stubborn civil servant, which made people feel headache just by looking at him.

When he was at home, he was straightforward and stubborn, just like his ancestor, whom he didn't know who he was calling great-grandfather or something.

Actually, although the Liang family was not one of the six aristocratic families, it was the last one to appear and had the least experience in the court.

The ancestors of the Liang family were ordinary poor scholars. They studied hard for many years before they entered the court. It took several generations of hard work to get to where they are today. It is not easy to say.

There is a saying that goes, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west." Isn't this what they are talking about? ! They used to be just a small and insignificant family, but now the Liang family is no less powerful than the previous ones! !

The brother and sister were indeed good at it. After the Wen family and its branches withdrew from the court, the numerous civil and military officials in this huge court were only frightened for a while.

They were all frightened by the army that day for a while, but after they came to their senses, who wouldn't want to watch her fun behind her back? !

Perhaps only the Liang family, the Li family, and the young daughter of the Zhao family can be used. It is hard to say what the others are thinking behind the scenes.

Oh my! The big families are so intertwined and complicated that it is outrageous. The emperor's teacher once compiled their relationships into a book. Where did he put it? Oh, right, in Qi Yudian's bedroom. He used to read the gossip between them as a storybook.

Yun Xirou left Qi Zheng Hall without saying a word. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, she could only think to herself that another day had passed.

"Liuzhi, have you asked someone to do what I told you?" Yun Xirou walked in the corridor and subconsciously turned the jade ring on her right hand, looking at the surrounding buildings while asking questions.

Yongchang is indeed a place with abundant water, a veritable water town! Even the imperial city is almost built on the water, like a palace in the water.

There are numerous courtyards in the city, with houses scattered in an orderly manner; ponds are scattered all over the city, sparkling with water, like huge mirrors inlaid on the earth.

These buildings are rich in ancient style and have unique architectural features, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, which show the exquisite skills of the craftsmen everywhere.

Walking among them, one can't help but be reminded of the Suzhou gardens, both of which have the elegance and quiet beauty.

"I have sent it to you, but the Imperial Master has not replied to my letter, nor has he left a single word."

Liu Zhi followed behind her and answered with a guilty conscience, her body even trembling as she spoke.

"Liu Zhi?! How dare you lie to me?!" Yun Xirou looked at her coldly, her face heavy and expression slightly chilly.

"I dare not... I dare not!! I dare not!!" Liu Zhi fell to her knees with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, even her head turned red.

"Enough. Look up and I'll ask you something!" Yun Xirou just wanted to scare her, not to hurt her head.

"Why didn't the Imperial Master reply?! I have been writing letters to him for a month. Is it because he doesn't want to reply, or did you withhold it privately?!"
