Chapter 244

Rest assured!

Our Empress Zhangsun family will surely be glorious for ten thousand generations; even imperial power cannot constrain us.

Give me a little more time!

"Qian'er, take care of your uncle. Mother is leaving..."

After saying her final words, Empress Empress Zhangsun left the small courtyard in desolation.

Along the way.

Empress Empress Zhangsun felt as if she had lost her soul.

It had been at least several months since she was abducted by Qin Mu in Changancheng. Such a long time.

Her most beloved son hadn't even offered a single word of concern!

Pitiful!

Truly pitiful!

Was there a more pitiful mother in the entire world than her?

Empress Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but give a bitter laugh.

Ever since she met Qin Mu, her world seemed to have changed completely!

Her husband was no longer like a husband, her brother was no longer like a brother, and her son was no longer like a son.

And all of this was caused by Qin Mu.

But could she blame him?

No!

Blame only her brother for being too arrogant, the Emperor for being too tolerant, and the noble families for being too greedy!

They were all the culprits!

But why did she have to be the one to bear it all?

Empress Empress Zhangsun closed her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed silently down.

She had clearly done nothing wrong, clearly always acted as the mother of the nation, so why did she have to bear all the pain?

Was this the price of being the mother of the nation?

Empress Empress Zhangsun suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to care anymore.

Let it be!

In the private room of the luxury inn, Qin Mu was closing his eyes to rest.

Wei Zhongxian walked in quietly from outside and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, people from the Great Tang court have arrived and are waiting below for your audience."

"People from the Great Tang court?"

Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes, a trace of doubt flashing in his gaze.

Were Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and his son not sent by the Great Tang court?

He had thought Li Er sent Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji as the Great Tang's trade envoy to handle all matters regarding the Jiannan Dao trade.

But looking at it this way, it seemed the situation here was more complex than he had imagined.

"Indeed, the person who arrived is the Emperor's old acquaintance, Fang Fang Xuanling."

Wei Zhongxian nodded.

"Oh?"

"It seems the Great Tang Emperor understands me quite well, knowing that I am familiar with Fang Fang Xuanling."

"Let him in!"

Qin Mu nodded.

"As you command!"

After agreeing, Wei Zhongxian withdrew.

In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The door opened once again.

Fang Fang Xuanling walked in from outside.

"Hahaha!"

"It has been several months, and Your Majesty's demeanor remains as impressive as ever!"

Fang Fang Xuanling bowed and greeted Qin Mu with great familiarity.

Setting aside their different political views and stances.

Fang Fang Xuanling still greatly admired this young man, Qin Mu, and had long since regarded him as a friend across generations.

"Prime Minister Fang, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Qin Mu also nodded with a smile.

He also had a favorable impression of Fang Fang Xuanling.

He was a loyal man, possessed great wisdom, and was extremely talented.

"Sigh!"

"I had no choice but to come! Searching through the entire Great Tang, only I am relatively familiar with the situation between Jiannan Dao and Great Qin."

"The Emperor sent me here to make things more convenient for both our nations."

Fang Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said with a beaming smile.

"Since Prime Minister Fang has come in person, I am relieved."

"If your Great Tang Emperor had sent someone like Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji, then I would have to carefully consider the trade between Great Qin and you."

Qin Mu said with a meaningful smile.

"What does Your Majesty mean by that? Have the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhao not arrived yet?"

Fang Fang Xuanling asked with great surprise.

He hadn't expected this!

That the Duke of Zhao and the others would arrive so quickly.

"Not only have they arrived, but the Duke of Zhao's heir, Empress Zhangsun Chong, has also caused quite a scene in Jiannan Dao."

A cold, sharp smile appeared at the corner of Qin Mu's mouth.

Seeing his smile, Fang Fang Xuanling felt a chill in his heart.

Oh no!

Empress Zhangsun Chong, oh Empress Zhangsun Chong!

Have you lost your mind!

You dared to cause a scene in Jiannan Dao?

Do you know what kind of person Qin Mu is?

He kills without blinking!

Fang Fang Xuanling stood up with a "whoosh," his expression extremely grave as he said:

"Your Majesty, Empress Zhangsun Chong has been pampered since childhood, and his temper is a bit much. Coupled with the Top Graduate position Your Majesty bestowed upon him, which made him famous throughout the Great Tang, he naturally became a bit arrogant. I beg Your Majesty not to take offense!"

Fang Fang Xuanling's greatest worry was that if Empress Zhangsun Chong offended Qin Mu, wouldn't this book trade go up in smoke?

No!

Absolutely not!

The books traded from Great Qin this time would directly affect the Emperor's reforms for the next ten years!

Under no circumstances could any mistakes be made.

"Of course!"

"I have always been magnanimous and never hold grudges against others; I assume Prime Minister Fang understands my character to some extent, right?"

Qin Mu nodded with a beaming smile, as if nothing had happened at all.

He did not intend to tell Fang Fang Xuanling the news that Empress Zhangsun Chong was already dead.

Let it be a surprise!

When he would find out about this news depended on Fang Fang Xuanling's own luck.

Hearing Qin Mu's words, Fang Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched.
