The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
117. The Visit of the Two Xin Brothers
A man in a suit of armor stood firmly in the military camp. The sword sheathed on his waist increasingly made him look majestic gallant. His handsome face was still visible even though almost so his chin had been covered by . Pei Zhong Min had already been in this military camp for four months to receive his sentence. Although everyone did not know for what reason he was sent to the far border of the capital, he knew very well Because the Emperor had told him when he wanted to protest and did not accept the duty of guarding the border for that one year.
The fine hair on her chin had already started to grow dense and made her sturdy chin look charming. His originally white skin with a slightly pale current had more dark citizens who showed his hard work over the past four months.
In the Western border area where Pei Zhong Min was assigned was actually quite safe and there was almost never any conflict. The western region of the Shao kingdom borders the North Star kingdom which has a marriage alliance with the Shao Empire. The wife of Pei An Long's younger brother was one of the daughters of the North Star Emperor, which made the two countries unlikely to conflict with each other.
The problem most faced in the Western frontier was the entry and exit of the people from both empires. The two empires had established cooperation in almost all fields. So many merchants would cross freely between the two empires. So at most Pei Zhong Min's job was to check every passerby to deter any unwanted things like rebellion or infiltrating.
Ever since Pei Zhong Min came to the border camp, his job was to check on those people. But of course he was not directly involved in this problem because he really did not like taking care of the people. So he would sit or stand in a corner and watch from a far enough place watching his men work.
A dove swooped down and alighted in front of Pei Zhong Min. Next to his feet was a small roll of paper tied up there. A bodyguard behind Pei Zhong Min took the bird and handed it to Pei Zhong Min.
Pei Zhong Min took the paper from the bird's leg and handed the bird to the bodyguard again.
"God! Girl Zhu was impatient. But it's a pity. The emperor's father had dumped me far away here without being able to make any progress. But I'm not an ordinary person. I'll make chances for myself. It won't be long. It won't be long until I get back to the palace." Pei Zhong Min smiled as he tore the paper into very small pieces and would no longer be able to be read.

"You need to be careful from now on. Don't leave the residence for some time. Since Empress Yuan is pregnant she is not punished for her wrongdoing that has framed you. I have a bad feeling. After this incident I'm sure he'll feel depressed. He's afraid he's blaming everything on you." Pei Zhang Xi said to Lu Jing Yu the next day as he was about to leave for the Yuguang bureau after they had breakfast together.
"But I want to visit Heaven Lake Bungalow this week. I want to eat wine right out of the tree." Lu Jing Yu pursed her lips.
"I'm going to be very busy this week. There's a serial murder case going on in one of the villages on the outskirts of the capital that still hasn't found its bright spot."
"Your Majesty, the empress, outside are the two Xin brothers asking to meet." Mo Han came forward and reported what the waiter in front reported.
"Ah two MISTER Xin. Take them into the main hall. We'll meet them." Lu Jing Yu replied with great excitement.
"Good Empress." Mo Han bowed once before he left the dining room.
Lu Jing Yu stood up with the help of Pei Zhang Xi and immediately went to meet Xin Mo Yan and Xin Mo Yin.
The two old men came together with their families when they were invited to the palace by the Emperor. Today they also offered their families to come see Lu Jing Yu. Their families are very simple. They sat quietly in the hall while waiting for the host to come.
The moment they heard the sound of footsteps entering the hall, they immediately turned their heads and stood up when they saw the incoming host.
"Our respect is King Rui, Empress Rui." Say them together while bowing their bodies.
"Wakeup. No need to be so polite." Pei ZHANG Xi helped Lu Jing Yu sit down carefully.
"Have not seen you in a long time. I really miss Aunt Yun's cooking." Lu Jing Yu looked warmly at a middle-aged obedient woman holding a small child in her hand. She was Xin Mo Yin's wife.
"This is something that the servant cooks to give to the Empress. While at Heaven Lake, I saw the Empress quite fond of the fruit pickles that I made. So I purposely made it before coming here this morning." The woman called aunt Yun gave the box of provisions wrapped in a green cloth that seemed new.
"Hamba is relieved if the Empress likes it."
"I really like it. You guys just arrived in the capital yesterday right? How about staying at this residence for a few days? I'm gonna have someone take you guys around later?"
"We sincerely thank the empress for her good intentions. But we are sorry we cannot accept the Empress's goodwill at this time. We came here today because we wanted to say goodbye. The Emperor has given us a nice home near Heaven Lake. The emperor also gave us a job to teach the artisans in this palace. So we'll move there soon today to do our job."
"Dearly enough. I want you to stay here for a few more days to be with me. But if that's your excuse, I'm not blocking you. Out there are indeed many carpenters and builders who must learn from you how to load something sturdy and durable."
"That's all also thanks to our Empress being able to drop things. We're very grateful."
"That's right, Empress, because it's the Queen's kindness that we finally get to live better. Servant has made a baby swing as our thanks. Even though I know King Rui can definitely buy a better swing, may Empress AND King Rui please accept our simple gift." Two servants brought in a swing that was covered in red with beautiful flying dragon gold embroidery.
Lu Jing Yu opened the cloth cover of the swing and her eyes rounded in astonishment as she looked at the beautifully made swing. The swing was made of finely carved mahogany wood with gold and silver colored carvings. On top of the Swing are installed a variety of funny shapes made of wood. When there is a wind blowing, the hanger will move and produce a soothing sound.
A button on the Swing side caught Lu Jing Yu's attention. It seems that the button is not a simple button. Sure enough when Lu Jing Yu pressed the button the hangings above the Swing were rotating automatically. This reminded him of the swings that existed in his original world. Suddenly he remembered both his parents. They love him even until now his swing when he was a baby is still neatly stored.
"Yu'er what happened? Why are you crying?" Pei Zhang Xi panicked as he looked at the tears flowing down his wife's cheeks.
Lu Jing Yu regained her senses and found everyone looking at her worriedly. He smiled and replied calmly. "It's okay, Your Majesty. I am very happy with this gift. I can't wait to meet our baby and swing it on this beautiful swing."
"you're right. This swing is beautiful."
"Thank you for the praise of King and Empress Rui."
"Since you have made the empress happy, I will give you a gift." Pei Zhang Xi immediately asked Mo Han to prepare the money. But Xin Mo Yan immediately rejected him.
"No, Your Majesty. It is a blessing if the Empress likes our gift. If we receive a gift in return from a gift we send. What's the difference between us and a sycophant?"
"Huft. If you refuse the money I give you I cannot force it either. But you can't refuse this." Pei Zhang Xi took out a badge from his pocket and gave it to Xin Mo Yan.
"This is a Special Badge that only my subordinates have. If you get into trouble one day, you can show this badge to any soldier and they will help you. Or you can meet me in person. You're just curving the badge and you'll be able to see me at any time." Pei ZHANG Xi's.
"Thank you King Rui, Empress Rui. On the contrary, if His Majesty needs our help, if we are able, we will do our best to help His Majesty."
