The rain had stopped and the wind had dispersed. The air was still cool and the moonlight had blazed through the sky. The white moonlight penetrated through the eaves and covered the corridor. Through the windows, one could vaguely see the flickering candles and flames in the palace, creating a reflection of the beautiful woman's jade-like face.

Bai Feiyue made the bed as before, but the only difference was that she herself lay down on it first.

Right now, he was certain that Bai Feiyue already knew his true face. Then, what was she doing now …

Perhaps knowing what he was thinking, Bai Feiyue softly said, "Your Majesty, Spring's Night is cold. You have a body of gold. What if you get a chill?"

She could not help but care about Yuchen Ze's life. If Yuchen Ze was even the slightest bit unwell, then she would have a great responsibility. Last night, she was merely punishing him.

Yuchen Ze was slightly startled, but soon understood. The next moment, she automatically blew away the candle flame in the entire palace for her.

She knew he was playing dumb, and he knew she knew he was playing dumb, but no one wanted to break this layer of paper.

There were some things that just needed to be understood.

The night passed in silence.

The next morning, when the morning assembly arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, the drought in the south was unceasing, the food was greatly reduced, the people were not harvested, famine was rampant, and the people were not allowed to live.

He really gave Bai Feiyue a big slap. Yesterday, he even said that the West Country would definitely have good weather this year and that it would be ready for business.

And at this moment, the Regent, Yu QianXun, actually requested that the imperial decree request that food be transported to the south personally to investigate the situation of the people and pacify them.

"We can't let him go!"

In the imperial study, Bai Feiyue finished listening to Fu Lai's narration and resolutely said, "Your majesty, we absolutely cannot allow the regent to go to the south to provide relief!"

The fact that the emperor was a fool was already ridiculous. The people's hearts never turned towards Yuchen Ze from the very beginning. If Yuqian Xun gained the people's hearts at this moment, in addition to his status as the Regent, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But who was he going to let Yu QianXun go to? In the imperial court, there was always Yu QianXun, even if there were people who were neutral, the journey to the south was a long one, and it would not be difficult for Yu QianXun to remove all the relief items along the way.

Even if he was surrounded by experts, there were plenty of opportunities to make a move against him after leaving the Imperial Palace. If he succeeded, no one would be able to catch him.

Why was there a drought at this time? Or was it in the south of the grain production point?

Yuchen Ze breathed out a sigh of relief. In front of a natural disaster, he always seemed pale and powerless. If he were to personally go to the disaster area, he would have to reveal his true identity …

He frowned as he thought about it, then suddenly smiled. Ever since his birth, had he not suffered many assassination attempts? Hadn't he dodged them all and survived until now? If it was exposed, then so be it. Even if it was a direct confrontation, it was unknown who would win and who would lose.

He looked at Bai Feiyue and said softly, "I'll go."

Bai Feiyue raised his eyes and shook his head. "No."

"There's no other way."

She suddenly smiled. "Who said that?"

The smile was like ice melting in an instant. The spring breeze blew over, bringing with it a refreshing fragrance.

Her heart was as firm as a rock, and her words were loud: "I'll go!"

Yuchen Ze's heart shook. His throat was rolling, but he could not utter a word.

He was used to fighting alone. Now that someone had appeared to protect him, especially since it was a woman, his mood was rather subtle.

"Your majesty, this is the only way. As an empress, I can completely represent you, and as I just said yesterday, the West Yuan Kingdom will definitely have a good time this year. Even if it's only because of those words, I have the responsibility to pacify the people." Pausing, she continued, "I am the empress! If you can afford to live in luxury, you can also bear the responsibility of the world! "

Fu Lai, who was standing by the side, was already incomparably shocked. Shocked! The emperor didn't hide anything in front of the empress! Shocked! Secondly, did the empress lose her life? She was actually coming to the disaster zone herself!

Yuchen Ze pondered for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Bai Feiyue, his lips curled up in a playful smile. "My empress is so worried about my safety. I'm so touched that tears welled up in my eyes."

This was the first time he called himself 'Zhen' in front of Bai Feiyue. Did this mean that he had officially revealed his cards to her? In that case, she could tell him:

"Yuchen Ze, I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for myself. I am doing this so that one day, I can make Yu QianXun beg for death! "
