When Hai Lanzhu heard the queen suddenly ask about this, her heart stumbled. Her status reached their level. It was naturally impossible for her to speak and do things on weekdays, especially as the queen, Zhang Yan actually asked her husband about her future plans, which surprised Hai Lanzhu even more.

The thoughts in his heart were quickly planned, but Hai Lanzhu still looked as if nothing had happened.

"Empress, you have asked me what you said. I am just a woman. I am too lazy to ask questions about major issues in my country and I dare not ask them. Besides, our master is always fighting outside and rarely returns home once a year. Even if I want to ask, I have no place to ask."

Seeing Hai Lanzhu's answer so carefully, Zhang Yan immediately realized that it was her questioning abruptly, and anyone else would be wary.

She smiled, walked to Hai Lanzhu, sat down, grabbed her hand and said softly: "Hai Lanzhu, don't be nervous. Your Majesty and Duke Xin are better than monarchs and ministers, but rather as good teachers and friends. You and I are also like sisters. You might as well speak directly. If you are still hiding like ordinary ministers and friends, what's the point?"

Hai Lanzhu looked at Zhang Yan's kind expression and felt the sincerity in her tone. Then she felt a little relieved and said, "I have heard from the master that this matter once before. The master once made an agreement with His Majesty that after pacifying the bandits of the Qing Tartars and the Ming Dynasty, she would lead the Jiangning army overseas to expand the territory for His Majesty. This is the master's wish and was also agreed by His Majesty.

But now the Empress suddenly asked about this matter, was there something wrong?"

"Well..."

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty once told me two days ago that this matter may have changed a little."

"change?"

Hai Lanzhu frowned slightly and blurted out: "Empress, are you saying that Your Majesty regretting it and you don't want our master to go out to sea?"

After hearing what Hai Lanzhu said, Zhang Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This Hai Lanzhu grew up in a Mongolian tribe. She is honest by nature. Although she looked quite cunning just now, she would reveal her true nature once she was anxious.

She quickly comforted her: "Hai Lanzhu, don't worry first, listen to me finish my words, this is what happened..."

In the evening, Hai Lanzhu bid farewell to Zhang Yan and returned to the Duke's Mansion under the escort of her servants. When she arrived at the Duke's Mansion, it was already the lights on her.

When Hai Lanzhu returned to Rongqing Hall, she saw Zhezhe, Da Yuer, Zheng Tuoniang and other girls waiting for her. When she saw her coming back, they all came to meet her.

"You guys are..." Hai Lanzhu couldn't help laughing and said, "The palace I went to is not a dragon's nest. Are you so nervous?"

"Sister, you can sit down first."

Da Yuer pulled Hai Lanzhu aside, pressed her down and sat on the chair, brought a cup of tea and handed it to her. She looked at Hai Lanzhu with a mouthful and asked impatiently: "Sister, what did the queen say when you went to the palace to see the queen this time? What exactly happened?"

Hai Lanzhu asked back: "How did you know that something happened? Isn't it the Queen who asked me to talk to you?"

"It's weird to talk about it." Da Yu'er curled her lips, "In the past, if the Queen wanted to talk to you, she would usually notify you one or two days in advance. How could she be fine if she was so anxious to find you like today?"

"You clever ghost." Hai Lanzhu burst out laughing, reached out and shaved lightly on Da Yu'er's nose, and then said: "Okay, you don't have to guess. There is something wrong with the Queen looking for me this time, and this matter is about our master."

"Our master?"

"Our husband?"

All the girls were shocked. Did something happen to Yang Feng?

Before the women asked questions, Hai Lanzhu shook her head: "Don't worry, it's not that the master has something to do, but something else. You all know that before the master went to war, he told us that after the bandits were pacified, he would lead the army to Nanyang, to expedition to Nanyang, and Japan?"

The girls all nodded: "Remember."

"It's the matter." Hai Lanzhu sighed lightly, "Now the Ming Dynasty's confidant, the Qing Dynasty, which entrenched in Liaodong, has been destroyed by her husband. Now the largest bandit in China, Li Zicheng, has also been suppressed by her husband.

According to the agreement between my husband and Your Majesty, my husband will take our family to Southeast Asia in a while, but there are some problems with Your Majesty now."

When the girls heard this, their faces changed, and Da Yuer snorted coldly: "What's the problem? Does Your Majesty want to repent and not intend to fulfill the previous promise?"

"no."

Hai Lanzhu frowned.

"The Empress asked me to discuss this matter today. The Empress said that the war in the country has begun to settle and everything is in trouble, especially the Jiangnan area is even more complicated. If the imperial court does not have a person who can shake the scene, there will be chaos. So Your Majesty's intention is to let my husband ease it. It is not too late to go to sea after the situation in the court is stable in one or two years."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing that it was not what she was worried about, Da Yu'er's face calmed down, but she immediately said: "Now there is a great power in the capital. Two generals Yang Guozhu are in charge, and there are 30,000 elite soldiers in the capital camp under his command. His Majesty holds this elite soldier. Who dares to make trouble to wipe it out directly? What are he worried about?"

"Bumubutai, you can't say that." Zhezhe, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say angrily when he heard Da Yu'er say this: "You are still so reckless. Not everything can be solved by force."

Zheng Tuo Niang also advised: "Yes, Sister Yu'er. You are such a smart person. You have been organized by Dali for many years. Why do you become so impulsive when you encounter your husband's affairs?"

Da Yu'er sneered, "Look, you are all fooled by the Queen's words. In my opinion, the emperor is not willing to let his husband leave the Ming Dynasty, but he is reluctant to let the wallet of the Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company."

"Well!"

"Hey!"

When Da Yuer said this, all the girls were stunned at first, and they all suddenly realized.

In recent years, the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty paid millions of taels of silver to the Zhu family every year. It is precisely because of this silver that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, had money to train new troops to rescue disasters and resist droughts.
