After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Qingling irritably swept the memorials on the imperial desk to the ground.

"These past two days have been telling me not to hand over such important days as the Winter Poetry Festival and the Spring Festival Ancestor Worship to Concubine Shu. I will give all the love in this world to Concubine Shu and let her be my beloved concubine. , the more they stop her, the more I want to pamper her, is there anything wrong with her?"

Emperor Qingling became very angry.

In the imperial study room, all the palace maids and eunuchs headed by Wei Weiran fell to their knees, not daring to raise their heads for fear of being hurt.

Emperor Qing Ling suddenly looked at Wei Weiran: "The night has passed. Is there any news from Wei Xin?"

People in the imperial court are very tight-lipped, so Emperor Qingling did not shy away from talking about the news about the Fourteenth Master and Ying'an.

But Wei Weiran did not dare to say anything. If the matter spread out of the imperial study room through his mouth, he would be the only one who would be held accountable.

He thought about it again and again: "Wei Xin came to see the emperor during his morning court. He didn't say anything was wrong. Now he is waiting outside the palace."

In fact, Wei Xin said that he had roughly found the location of the Fourteenth Master and Ying'an, but he did not dare to convey it.

Emperor Qing Ling waved his hand: "Let him come in."

Wei Weiran nodded: "Yes!"

He stood up and quickly ordered several palace maids and eunuchs to tidy up the royal study and put everything back to their original places before going out and calling Wei Xin.

After Wei Xin came in, Wei Weiran took everyone out in a wise manner.

"Your Majesty." Wei Xin saluted politely.

"Say!" Emperor Qing Ling looked unhappy and frowned at Wei Xin.

When the young prodigal son disappeared, he had already guessed that the fourteenth old man might still be alive, so even though Concubine Shu was sad, he still didn't believe the news that Ying'an was dead.

He always felt that things must turn around.

Wei Xin also noticed that Emperor Qing Ling was in a bad mood, but he still said bravely: "Your Majesty, my subordinates just came to report that Taifu Jiang was tied up and thrown in front of the Criminal Department. Now the Criminal Department is escorting people into the palace. The people of the Criminal Department are He also said..."

He paused, Emperor Qing Ling's eyes were deep and complicated, and his whole body became cold.

"What else can you say?"

Wei Xin immediately knelt down and buried his head, but his voice was loud: "The person looks like the Fourteenth Master. He is accompanied by a man and a three-year-old baby."

Hearing the three-year-old baby again, Emperor Qingling raised his eyelids and asked solemnly, "Where is the person?"

"They didn't know it was the Fourteenth Master and Princess Zhixin, so they let them go directly."

Emperor Qing Ling was just about to get angry when Wei Xin quickly said: "But after my subordinates learned about this, they sent people to chase them in the direction they left. They should have arrived at Furong City by now."

Emperor Qingling stood up: "I'm with you!"

Wei Xin quickly stood up and followed Emperor Qing Ling, lowering his eyes: "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."

The emperor's trip is a big deal. If someone takes advantage of this opportunity to assassinate the emperor, it will be their fault.

Last time at Foshan Temple, Prince Heng sent people to assassinate the emperor and Concubine Shu. If Concubine Shu had not blocked the fatal blow for the emperor, the current Daling Dynasty would have changed hands long ago.

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

Concubine Shu was outside with the cakes she made by herself, negotiating with Wei Weiran: "Where is the emperor?"

Wei Weiran hesitated and said again and again: "Wei Xin is inside, and the emperor should not be able to see the empress now."

Apart from the news about the Fourteenth Master and Ying'an, Wei Xin brought nothing else.

If Concubine Shu went in and heard something else, he really couldn't bear it.

Sure enough, when she heard Wei Xin's name, Concubine Shu's eyes immediately lit up: "Is it possible that there is news about Ying'an?" Wei Weiran nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know."

Concubine Shu looked at Wei Weiran with hope: "I hope my father-in-law can go and tell me that if the emperor is willing to see me, that would be the best. If not, I will leave immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Qing Ling and Wei Xin left the imperial study.

Seeing Concubine Shu, Emperor Qing Ling glanced at Wei Weiran and frowned unhappily: "The weather is so cold, why did you come here?"

With that said, he stepped forward and held Concubine Shu's hand.

She was holding the pastries, and her hands were very cold.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Emperor Qing Ling looked at Wei Weiran: "The weather is bad, why don't you take Concubine Shu to the side hall to wait. If she gets cold, how can you afford it?"

Wei Weiran quickly bowed and nodded: "I know my mistake."

Concubine Shu quickly raised her hand to stop him: "It's none of Eunuch Wei's business. I just miss the emperor, so I came here to take a look."

Emperor Qing Ling knew full well that she wanted to know the whereabouts of Ying'an, but now that the matter had come to this, he really didn't want to blame her. In the end, she was just a poor person.

He did not hide anything and spoke truthfully: "There is news about them in Furong City. I am about to go. Are you willing to go with me?"

Concubine Shu looked up at him carefully and said calmly: "Is it in compliance with the rules?"

Her voice was small and soft.

There was caution and caution in his eyes.

It was completely different from the noble concubine style she had in the harem two days ago.

Emperor Qing Ling felt an unreasonable feeling of distress in his heart. He unconsciously held her hand tightly and kept rubbing it to warm it, passing on his body temperature to her.

The next moment, he pulled Concubine Shu towards him.

"You are my noble concubine. Whatever I say will be whatever you say. It doesn't matter whether it is in compliance with the rules or not, just whether I want it or not."

What he said was so categorical that Concubine Shu's tears suddenly fell and she lowered her eyes and said, "It is a concubine's honor to marry into the palace and become the emperor's concubine."

Wei Weiran and Wei Xin looked at each other and said nothing.

Wei Xin glanced at Concubine Shu and said calmly: "Your Majesty, if the previous dynasty knew that you were taking the concubine out of the palace, rumors would spread, and it might cause turmoil in the court. Why not, my subordinates go first, and after nightfall, If you secretly take the concubine on a tour incognito and cancel tomorrow's morning court, just say that you worked hard day and night for Concubine Shu's body the day before, contracted the wind and cold, and need to rest, so that you can hide the truth and return the day after tomorrow."

Emperor Qing Ling nodded: "Okay, that's it."

Then he looked at Wei Weiran: "Everything in the palace will be left to you to deal with. If anyone has something important, tell me that I am asleep and someone breaks in, and put them in jail. Wait until I come back and make a decision." .”

Wei Weiran nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Everything was arranged in the palace, but in the Lingfeng Casino in Furong City, the Fourteenth Master looked not very good.

Zong Yaozhi looked at him and said, "What's wrong? You've been worried since you came back from the capital. Do you really want to go east and become an emperor?"

The Fourteenth Master picked up the dice at hand and threw them over.

Zong Yaozhi dodged it deftly.

The Fourteenth Master said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the palace already knows our whereabouts. Maybe he will come in person. If he takes Concubine Shu with him, then we..."

Ying'an, who was alone in a daze on the side, heard this. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "How about running to the east?" (End of Chapter)
