Chapter 432: Civil strife in Yan State again

When Tao Yanyan thought about traveling back in time, he instantly became a clingy person.

After going to the first floor and signing the contract, Tao Yanyan took He Linzhang's arm and got into the carriage.

As soon as she got in the car, she took off her mask and leaned into He Linzhang's arms like a kitten.

"Your Majesty, I was so worried just now that I would suddenly disappear in the room like Long Weiwei."

He Linzhang hugged her gently and said, "Promise me that you will never go near the room on the third floor of Miaoyinfang!"

Tao Yanyan said softly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I scared you just now. I will naturally not go near that room."

He Linzhang was full of doubts: "I always feel that today's events are a bit strange. Yan Yan, can you understand that strange music score?"

After living together for three years, He Linzhang still understands her a little.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Tao Yanyan nodded and said, "I do understand, but I don't want others to know that I understand. I hope Your Majesty won't blame me."

He Linzhang naturally wouldn't blame her, but he was still a little curious about the fact that she knew music scores and Xia country's musical instruments.

"Then Yan Yan, can you tell me where you learned all this? And the musical instruments of the Xia Kingdom, did you really see them in the geographical records?"

He Linzhang looked into her eyes and asked.

Tao Yanyan pouted: "I usually like to read some miscellaneous books. I have a wide range of knowledge. I am particularly curious about things I have never seen before, so I learned them inadvertently. But I did lose some of my memory when I fell into the water. If Your Majesty must ask, I will have to spend some time to think about it. If I remember it one day, I will tell Your Majesty, okay?"

Thinking of how she was murdered by the people of Canglongmen and fell into the water, not only was she physically weak, but she also lost her memory, He Linzhang hugged her distressedly: "Okay, okay, I don't have to make you think about it, just forget it if you really can't think of it."

Three days after returning to the palace, the royal family of Great Zhou finally received a document from the Kingdom of Xia. The document was brought by the Second Prince at the request of the Emperor of Xia. It was a visiting card, which explained the purpose of the Second Prince of Xia's visit to find someone and hoped that Great Zhou could cooperate.

He Linzhang found it difficult to understand why they would go to such great lengths to find a musician, but the Great Zhou was just doing them a favor and it was just a piece of cake, so he quickly approved the document and returned it to the second prince of the Xia Kingdom.

After being able to move around in Da Zhou with a legitimate reason, the Second Prince of Xia Kingdom went to visit the people who Cang Xuan said knew the truth about Long Weiwei's disappearance. However, to his surprise, everyone said that Long Weiwei disappeared after entering the room.

He didn't find any useful information, so he had to spend his time casting a wide net, but this was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The Imperial Academy's elementary school opened in March. Little Jin'an's grades were excellent, and a better teacher had been found to teach him. Although they were all studying in the Imperial Academy, the three children were no longer in the same class.

After the children went to school, Tao Yanyan focused most of his energy on the imperial farm.

After a long period of careful research and development and repeated experiments, the Ministry of Industry finally succeeded in producing the agricultural machinery drawn by Tao Yanyan.

In order to better demonstrate the product, the Ministry of Works specially invited Concubine Tao to the imperial farm to watch the trial use.

The results of the trial were unexpectedly good, and Tao Qian was overjoyed. He prepared to have thousands of them built according to the blueprints and distributed to various states and counties. However, this was a huge project that required a large amount of iron ore.

At this critical moment, the iron ore trade with the State of Yan had reached a point where it was imminent and could not be delayed at all. However, unexpectedly, at this critical moment, a shocking news came - civil strife broke out again in the State of Yan!

This sudden change was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone was speculating whether this civil unrest would have an impact on the iron ore trade between the two countries, and people were in a panic for a while.

This time, He Linzhang acted contrary to his usual practice and did not send the Great Zhou army to provide support immediately.

You know, last time the same situation happened, the Great Zhou sent a large army. But it was a helpless move at that time. The situation was urgent and he didn't have much room for thinking and hesitation.

However, after experiencing the troublesome entanglement with Princess Yan last time, he was not willing to easily intervene and lend a helping hand this time.

Recalling the encounter with Princess Yan, He Linzhang was really annoyed by her unreasonable demands. He was just trying to help, but she kept holding on to him. Her unreasonable demands were really annoying.

He Lin had secretly decided in his heart that he would keep a distance from such troublesome people in the future to avoid falling into a similar predicament again.

Therefore, even though the news this time was equally urgent, He Linzhang chose to stay put without hesitation when he thought about having to face the endless entanglement of Princess Yan again.

The court officials held different attitudes towards the civil unrest in Yan. Some advocated war, while others were indifferent. In the end, He Linzhang only let the Yan army guard the border and did not set foot in Yan's territory as before.

The Princess of Yan, who was thousands of miles away, was looking forward to the army of the Great Zhou entering the State of Yan as she wished and helping her overcome the difficult situation.

However, when the disappointing news came - the army of the Great Zhou did not arrive as promised, she felt as if an invisible force had hit her heart heavily, causing her to instantly lose the courage and confidence to hold on.

Her eyes, which were bright and moving at first, had now become dim, and her confident expression had long since disappeared, replaced by deep sorrow and despair. She sat quietly in front of the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

Princess Yan sighed softly, her hands unconsciously clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all. Because the pain in her heart far outweighed the pain in her body, the feeling of being isolated and abandoned kept surging into her heart like a tide, almost drowning her completely.

"Empress Dowager, please eat something. You haven't eaten for several days." The maid advised.

"How can I have an appetite for food in the current situation of Yan State? Take it away." After the Princess of Yan came back, she made a concubine's son the emperor and ruled the country from behind the curtain, becoming the Queen Mother of Yan State, the youngest Queen Mother among the four countries.

"Queen Dowager, His Majesty is still young and needs your support. Please take care of yourself and make more plans for the State of Yan!" the maid advised.

"What else can I do? Without the support of the Great Zhou, everything is in vain. Please go down. I want to be alone for a while."

After sending the maid away, Princess Yan fell into deep thought.
