Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 473 Find the trace!

Baili Jinchuan rushed to the border day and night and led the border guards to launch a resistance. Ten days later, the news of the border victory came back.Shen Ninghua was shocked when she saw the news, and quickly summoned a group of officials to spread the good news.In addition, the snow disaster has been resolved. Although the people's life is still a bit difficult, the imperial court took timely action and the policy was considerate to the people, so there was not much turmoil.

The domestic situation in Da'an was stable, so Shen Ninghua set his sights on the border.While asking people to raise food and grass to support the frontline army, she sent people out to look for Baili Junyi's trace.She didn't believe that Baili Junyi would die, or as long as she didn't see his body, she didn't believe that he was dead.

At this time, the emperor of Dayue Kingdom was assassinated, and because he was not treated in time, his injuries worsened and he passed away not long after.Without Shen Ninghua's action, the princes who had been entrusted by the Dayue Kingdom began to fight among themselves. Coupled with Baili Jinchuan's intimidation at the border, the Dayue Kingdom began to retreat.The several cities that were originally occupied have all been taken back.

Hong Ling sent the latest news: "Empress Empress, now that the border crisis has been resolved and the people's hearts are extremely stable, you can rest assured for a while."

Shen Ninghua slightly relaxed her frowning brows, and the breath she had been holding in her heart was relieved for a while: "Is there any news from Baili Jinyi?"

"The abolished prince joined the Dayue Kingdom. He originally wanted to use the power of the Dayue Kingdom to threaten you. Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Dayue Kingdom passed away. The throne has not been confirmed. Several princes are vying to seize power. How can we care about him?"

Shen Ninghua looked at the contents of the letter, and shook her head slightly: "The death of the emperor of Dayue Kingdom had some influence on the Kingdom of Dayue, but not so much. On the surface, it seems that the Kingdom of Dayue is under the emperor's control, but behind the scenes the real The one who made the decision was Queen Jin of the Dayue Kingdom, she shouldn't just stand by and watch the fight between several princes, there must have been some accident."

"Slave servant will send someone to investigate to see if there is any hidden secret."

Shen Ninghua nodded, and when she was about to leave the house, she suddenly said, "Hong Ling...do you have any news about Jun Yi?"

Hong Ling paused, lowered her head and shook slightly: "There is no news from the emperor yet."

"Understood, you go down."

The hall was quiet, but Shen Ninghua's heart couldn't be quiet no matter what. She raised her eyes and scanned the hall, her expression was a little dazed.It has been more than a month, but there has been no news from Baili Junyi.Many times, she woke up from a dream, hoping that Baili Junyi would suddenly appear in front of her, and then told her with a smile that he was not missing, but just made a joke...

The boss and Xiaobao came in holding hands, and walked quickly to Shen Ninghua, seeing her expression, couldn't help asking: "Mother, what's wrong with you, are you feeling well?"

Shen Ninghua snapped back to her senses, looked down at Xiao Bao who was lying on her lap, and patted her head: "No, Madam is not feeling well."

The boss walked to Shen Ninghua's side, and imitated his younger sister's appearance and lay beside Shen Ninghua, his little face was red with shame, he was already a man, but in order to make his mother smile more, he didn't mind imitating his younger sister more : "Mother..."

Shen Ninghua's heart softened after being watched by the two children, and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand to embrace them in her arms: "Good boy."

Xiao Bao lay on Shen Ninghua's shoulder, rubbed her cheek dependently, and asked cautiously: "Mother, Daddy hasn't come back, do you want us?"

Shen Ninghua froze, let go of Xiaobao and helped her tidy up her clothes: "Who did Xiaobao listen to?"

"It's a slave in the palace." Xiaobao said angrily, and stomped his feet on the ground, "Xiaobao doesn't believe it. Daddy is the best, so he won't want Xiaobao. Besides, Xiaobao is very good, and he has everything. Be obedient, why doesn't Daddy want Xiaobao?" He said he didn't believe it, but after all he listened to his heart, his big round eyes were filled with tears.

The boss also lowered his head slightly, raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes.

A stern look flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes, and she turned her head to look at Hong Ling beside her: "Go and investigate, and see who is so courageous to talk nonsense in front of the prince and princess!"

"Yes, empress." Hong Ling walked out quickly like a gust of wind, full of anger, let her find out who it was, and she would definitely pull out that person's tongue!
Shen Ninghua embraced the two children: "Don't you understand how Daddy treats you all day?"

Xiaobao thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "Daddy treats brother and Xiaobao very well on weekdays."

Shen Ninghua looked at them with a smile: "Since that's the case, why would Dad not want you?"

The two children thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that what their mother said was right, they couldn't help being happy: Daddy wouldn't want them!

After they thought for a while, Shen Ninghua continued: "You are the prince and princess, and your father is the emperor. Many people dislike him, so they will try their best to slander him. Others don't believe that he can, but we You can't help but trust him, can you?"

"Yes, yes!" The two children nodded again and again, only to feel that they were stupid before, believing other people's words instead of their own father.

"Mother, don't tell Daddy, or Daddy will be sad."

"Well, it's all our fault, we shouldn't doubt Daddy."

Shen Ninghua nodded: "Okay."

After comforting the two children, the three mothers went to see San Zhuang together. After about an hour, the children were all tired, and Shen Ninghua asked the nanny to take them down.

Hong Ling walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, I have already found out that she is the maid next to Mrs. Zhao in the harem."

"Mrs. Zhao? The Zhao family?"

"Yes, she is a branch of the Zhao family, and she doesn't have much contact with the main family. Later, something happened to the Zhao family, but she was not implicated. Who ever jumped out today."

Shen Ninghua's eyes turned cold: "Send someone over to replace all the palace servants around her. The people who served her should investigate carefully, let go if there is no problem, and kill all those who have problems."

"Yes, ma'am."

Tai Concubine Zhao was so mad by Shen Ninghua's methods, she didn't dare to confront Shen Ninghua directly, so she cried and went to Concubine Qi Taigui: "Mrs. Slave, you are clearly slapping me in the face, we people are pitiful enough, why does the empress make things difficult on purpose?"

Concubine Qi Taigui twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand. Since Baili Jinchuan left, she asked the maids to clear out a Buddhist hall. She did not leave the hall door on weekdays, and only concentrated on paying respects to the Buddha. At this time, she listened expressionlessly. Zhao Taipin's crying, but the movement of turning the beads did not stop: "Zhao Taipin, since you are so dissatisfied, then I will send someone to invite the queen to confront you face to face, how about it?"

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Why, don't you agree?" Concubine Qi Taigui raised her head and looked at her coldly, wanting to use her as a weapon, and didn't want to see if she was qualified enough, "Didn't you say that those slaves were wronged and you were pitiful? Gong can't watch the empress bullying others, so I asked her to argue this truth to see what is right and what is wrong!"

"Your Majesty... no... no need, they are just a few slaves... I think they must have violated some taboo, Madam, I'll go first, and I won't bother you to worship the Buddha." After saying that, he hurriedly left with a distressed look on his face.

Concubine Qi Taigui sneered, and told the maid at the side: "Close the door of the palace, if anyone still comes, tell me that this palace must concentrate on worshiping the Buddha, and no one will be seen."

Shen Ninghua heard Qi Taigui's reaction, she couldn't help but smiled slightly, told people not to neglect her, and put this matter behind her.

The inner and outer areas of Da'an gradually calmed down, but someone in the court suddenly came to remonstrate, saying that the country cannot live without a king, and the emperor is now missing. Although it is not certain whether he is dead, he cannot bear the heavy responsibility of the country. It is necessary to determine the heir to the throne as soon as possible.

Although the idea was put forward by old-school officials, the new officials did not object.They also know that the current situation lasts for a long time, and it will be even more unfavorable to Da'an.

Shen Ninghua shied away from considering it, so she didn't say anything for now.After returning to the back bedroom, she looked very preoccupied, Qingque helped her change her clothes, and asked involuntarily: "Mother, the officials in the previous court are making trouble again?"

"Well, the officials came forward and wanted to determine the heir to the throne and stabilize the hearts of the people in the world."

"Heir? Isn't that the eldest prince?"

Shen Ninghua also understood, but she didn't want to burden her child with heavy responsibilities so early on.

Suddenly, Hong Ling ran in all the way with an exclamation: "Miss! No, empress empress! Empress, there is news, there is news!"

Shen Ninghua was taken aback, then stood up abruptly: "But there is news from the emperor?"

Hong Ling ran in, with a big smile on her face, and handed over the letter in her hand.Shen Ninghua opened the envelope with trembling fingers, read the contents of the letter several times, and trembled slightly: "Are you sure? Maybe it's the emperor?"

The letter said that seven days ago, someone from Huajun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. saw a person who looked exactly like the emperor in Yancheng, and then lost it, but it is certain that the person has come to the capital.

"Your Majesty, you can't be wrong. Besides, isn't the Emperor already heading for the capital? We just need to wait in the capital."

Shen Ninghua nodded, with a bright look in her eyes: "Yes, tell me, if you see the emperor entering the city, report it to me immediately. In addition, let someone monitor the whole city so that no accidents will happen."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shen Ninghua's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, her eyes were sore: "That's great, it's really great."

Baili Junyi, who is now Junhua who has lost his memory, felt that there was something important to do after recovering from his injuries in the Yuyang Mountains. He followed his heart and came all the way to Kyoto.Just entering the gate of the capital, looking at the crowds coming and going, he didn't know what to do, he just felt that the emptiness in his heart was getting worse, and he urgently needed someone to fill it up.But who is this person, but he can't remember...
