Chapter 2

In the imperial garden half an hour ago.

Emperor Shunhe finally finished dealing with the 108 questions thrown at him by the chattering old ministers about the issue of the Queen, and was about to go to the Imperial Garden to take a stroll to relieve his current depressed emotions.

Emperor Shunhe raised his head and looked at the dense black clouds above his head. Even the air was filled with a dull smell. He pinched his brows irritably and said unhappily——
"Tsk, everything is really unfavorable today."

But just as he spoke, the sky that had been clouded just now suddenly cleared up.

I don't know if it was Emperor Shunhe's illusion, but the flowers in the imperial garden seemed to be blooming more brilliantly at this moment than when they came yesterday.

Birds also flew from a distance and stopped on the branches of the trees, chirping,

Emperor Shunhe seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him. He turned his head and asked Li Dezhong beside him:

"Li Dezhong, what day is it today?"

Li Dezhong looked confused: he had followed the emperor to court early in the morning. Before leaving, he paid special attention to the news coming from the Leng Palace, but he automatically ignored the news from the Leng Palace.

"That's all." Emperor Shunhe glanced sideways and noticed the confusion on Li Dezhong's face, and just shook his head.

Compared with the depressing atmosphere just now, Emperor Shunhe saw all kinds of auspicious visions around him at this time. Emperor Shunhe swept away his depressed mood and felt instantly better. He waved his sleeves and said to Li Dezhong beside him:

"Li Dezhong, go back."

Li Dezhong didn't dare to guess the emperor's thoughts at will. He just said respectfully:
"Yes."

In Zichen Palace.

Emperor Shunhe had finished approving the last stack of folds, and was taking the tea handed to him by the palace maid and was about to take a rest when Li Dezhong suddenly walked in with his head lowered.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Master wishes to see you."

Emperor Shunhe frowned slightly and stroked the beard on his chin, confusion appearing on his face.

The Heavenly Master rarely comes to his Zichen Palace in person. Could something have happened?

Thinking of this, Emperor Shunhe instantly became serious, put down the tea cup in his hand, and straightened his back:
"Xuan."

Accompanied by a steady sound of footsteps, a man wearing a hood walked straight in front of Emperor Shunhe and bowed slightly.

"emperor."

Emperor Shunhe was anxious, and he hurriedly asked straight to the point:

"Master Tian, ​​you are in such a hurry, but what happened?"

The Heavenly Master shook his head towards Emperor Shunhe: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's not a big deal." He paused and then said, "It's just that I only learned about such celestial phenomena from Master's teachings. Now that I see it with my own eyes, it's really interesting. Only then will I share it with Your Majesty."

Emperor Shunhe's face became even more confused. He was about to ask a question, but the Heavenly Master took the opportunity to do so——
"Yesterday I was watching the star observatory for a long time, and I saw the auspicious star Feng Luan fall into the Xuanyuan star, and then sink into the horizon toward the northeast, which seems to be in the direction of the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

The Heavenly Master's voice was gentle, giving his words a sense of mystery.

He bowed and said, "I dare to ask, is there any child born in the palace today?"

Emperor Shunhe looked confused. He hurriedly called Li Dezhong to ask in detail, but he got the same confused old face and a completely negative answer——
"Your Majesty, you know that since Concubine Jing gave birth to the fifth and sixth princes more than half a year ago, no one in the harem is pregnant."

The Heavenly Master obviously heard what Li Dezhong said, but he still did not change his words:
"Your Majesty, I only believe my own eyes compared to Eunuch Li's words." "Li Dezhong, search the harem now!"

Li Dezhong Shi Shiran withdrew.

The Heavenly Master also chuckled: "In that case, I will retreat first."

Emperor Shunhe waved his hands, his head was now a ball of mush: what a baby, what Phoenix Star, it disturbed him a little confused.

Li Dezhong was extremely efficient and searched almost the entire harem in less than a day.

It's just that he missed the cold and deserted Leng Palace.

After searching for two days with no results, Li Dezhong trembled on the ground and reported to Emperor Shunhe:
"Your Majesty, I forgive my incompetence. After searching carefully, I did not find any children born on that day." Li Dezhong said with a trembling voice, "I even searched Ye Ting and found none."

Emperor Shunhe had a headache: If this Feng Luan star was a citizen of Dazhou, it would be a good thing; if it was born by someone from another country who was placed in Dazhou, it would be harmful but not beneficial.

No matter which side you look at, the only way to solve the problem is to find this Feng Luan star as soon as possible.

But the situation in front of him was difficult, so Emperor Shunhe had to give up first.

"Forget it this time, but never give up the search."

Li Dezhong quickly agreed.

This time, Li Dezhong's comprehensive search made all the concubines in the harem confused, especially Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing was a little crazy. After Li Dezhong finished questioning her, she could no longer hold back the anger in her heart. With a crazy look on her face, she angrily knocked down all the cups in front of her.

The scalding strong tea splashed onto the palace maid who was kneeling quietly beside her without saying a word. The palace maid didn't even frown, as if she was immune to pain, which was commonplace.

Concubine Jing was so angry that she screamed: "Why! Why was this Feng Luan Xing not born to me! What was the oversight? How could someone in the harem secretly give birth to the prince and princess!"

When Concubine Jing was tired from shouting, her personal maid Pingyu opened the door curtain and walked in. She walked around the broken porcelain pieces of the tea cup on the ground and stood gently behind Concubine Jing. He helped Concubine Jing massage her shoulders, and then carefully helped Concubine Jing calm down her emotions——
"Mother, I have just gone to Ye Ting and Tai Hospital to ask questions. No one in these two places knows anything about it, let alone us."

Pingyu soothed Concubine Jing's emotions.

Pingyu continued: "Eunuch Li's search ended without a problem. As long as the emperor doesn't know who this child is, we don't have to worry about it for a day. As long as we find this child before the emperor and deal with it, we will be safe forever. Get rid of future troubles.”

Concubine Jing finally calmed down, and the ups and downs in her chest gradually disappeared. She put her hand on Pingyu's hand and looked up at Pingyu:

"Pingyu, you are right. I can't panic now. I finally defeated that little foxy Concubine Qin. I can't admit defeat yet."

Pingyu nodded with a smile, and then said coldly to the palace maid kneeling on the ground:

"You guys, why don't you clean up the floor quickly and put in new tea cups for the queen!"

Several palace maids withdrew timidly.

Concubine Jing had indeed arranged for people to search carefully for the whereabouts of "Feng Luan Star" in private, but both she and Li Dezhong made the same mistake--
The existence of the cold palace was ignored.

Therefore, several forces have been investigating for three years and still have no definite results.

On the other hand, Concubine Qin in the cold palace lived a harmonious and beautiful life.
