In the Imperial Palace and the imperial study, the incense from the tripod stove curls up.

Mu Xichen spent the whole night here, reading memorials and thinking about state affairs. Occasionally, he will whisper in the bottom of his heart to call the girl he loves most and heartache most.

At such a cold stage of his relationship with blossoms, he can only use fanatical work to alleviate the pain of his heart. It was not until it was gray that he took a nap on the soft couch in the imperial study.

Now, it's time for the early morning.

After washing his face with cold water, Mu Xichen went to the table and sorted out the memorials spread on the table, ready to go to the morning.

Zonghua suddenly hurried in: "emperor, two palace maids came to Nianduo palace and said they had something urgent to see the emperor."

Nianduo palace? What happened to Duoduo?

Mu Xichen's eyes tightened coldly, sat down and said in a deep voice, "let them in."

It was another maid of Zhuzhu and Nianduo palace. The two girls turned pale and looked flustered. As soon as they saw Mu Xichen, they knelt down: "emperor, the empress is gone... The slaves looked everywhere and didn't see the empress."

"Say it again!" Mu Xichen's deep black eyes were covered with a gloomy cold, and he couldn't believe it or don't want to believe it.

"Back to the emperor, the empress is gone." the palace maid's frightened voice was so low that she could hardly hear clearly.

The voice had not yet completely dropped, "pa", and a roll of memorials held by Mu Xichen had been heavily thrown at Zhuzhu and the maid of honor, ruthlessly hit the maid of honor on the cheek, and finally fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! The maidservants have been following the empress closely, but they didn't know last night..." the two girls who were already nervous were even more frightened and begged for mercy.

Mu Xichen's palm on the table was clenched into a fist, and even the joints were faintly white because of force.

His murderous eyes swept coldly to the two people kneeling on the ground: "when did you find that the queen was not in the palace?"

"Back to the emperor, I watched the queen go to bed last night. Later in the night, I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I saw no one on the Queen's bed. At first, I thought the queen had gone for a walk in the imperial garden, but I didn't see the queen after looking there. I looked around the palace again, I still didn't see the empress... The maidservant was flustered and wondered if the empress was not in the palace... "The little maid replied tremblingly.

"How dare you! How do I tell you to take care of the queen on weekdays?! I told you earlier that someone must guard the queen at night!" he slapped his hand on the table. Mu Xichen's face was full of violent flames, uncontrollable roars and cold eyes. It seemed that he could really kill people: "Last night, you dare to sleep and forget things. You don't even know when the queen will leave the palace! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

"Please forgive me, the emperor. The slaves and maidservants have always obeyed the emperor's orders. Every night, someone took turns to guard the Queen's sleep. However, it was strange last night. It seemed that incense was lit in the palace. After a while, everyone was sleepy." Zhuzhu explained nervously, and her heart was going crazy.

I have never seen the emperor lose such a temper, and I never knew that the wise and calm emperor would be so excited and terrible.

It seems that the emperor still loves the queen in his heart. It's not just love, it's crazy love.

Empress, why are you leaving?

Here, there is your glorious queen, and the emperor who loves you deeply and treats you as a supreme treasure. Why did you leave the palace quietly?

Do you know that you have hurt us servants by leaving like this

"Lit the incense?... blossoming, you finally left me..." Mu Xichen leaned weakly on the Dragon chair behind the table, his eyes were full of red silk, his face was decadent and gray, and seemed to have changed a lot in a moment.

He thought back quietly, remembering every bit when he met Duoduo in the imperial garden yesterday.

At that time, blossoms were very melancholy and silent.

However, he didn't think that blossoms would go. He didn't think that she really tried to leave his world. If he had known... If he had known, he would have rushed to Nianduo palace to guard her firmly.

Thinking of this, Mu Xichen suddenly thought about it.

He remembered that at midnight last night, he seemed to feel someone outside the window of the imperial study. He seemed to hear blossoms calling his third brother gently.

It seems that this is true, this is not an illusion. Blossoms did come here last night to say their last goodbye to him.

However, he didn't find blossoms coming. He didn't catch them and let her pass by

"Blossoming!" with a terrible roar, Mu Xichen, like a wounded beast, bounced up from the Dragon chair and overturned the table in front of him.

Memorials, books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all scattered on the ground. Some of them fell on the beads kneeling on the ground and the maid in waiting, making a harsh sound of "crackling", and the ground was in a mess.

Zhuzhu and the palace maid, including Zonghua, who was standing on one side, all walked on thin ice. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, and no one dared to make a movement.

The whole imperial study, after the frenzy just now, suddenly quieted down, which was suffocating and dead silence.

"Go away! Go back and stay in the Nianduo palace. Keep the Nianduo palace clean and spotless every day, just like when the queen was there." for a long time, Mu Xichen murmured and didn't look at the two palace maids. The dark bottom of her eyes was a deep pain and rustle.

"Thank the emperor for your kindness." Zhuzhu and the palace maid's body had knelt stiff. Hearing the emperor's words at last, she got up and retreated carefully.

"Zong Hua, go and inform Xia Qing. Let him go out of the palace immediately and personally take people to find the queen." he raised his hand and rubbed the swollen forehead. Mu Xichen's cold and painful voice floated in the hall: "every place, every corner, any small town and village can't let go."

"Yes!" facing the angry emperor, Zonghua only dared to say this word.

"All the guards guarding the palace gate last night were executed." the cold voice was a little more chilly.

"Yes!" Zong Hua replied. He sighed in his heart: he guarded the Palace door all night and couldn't even find out the empress in time. Of course, it was a serious dereliction of duty and he had to die if he didn't die.
