Chapter 375: You didn’t even give me a chance to coax you, Xiao Jinyan was happy but the emperor was
The emperor walked quickly into Fengyi Palace. It was already dinner time. The queen was not seen in the restaurant, and the table was not full of food.
Thinking about that afternoon, the queen should still be angry.
The emperor exited the restaurant and walked straight into the bedroom. He didn't see the queen. He frowned and asked, "Where did the queen go?"
"Back to the Emperor, the Queen has gone out." The little palace maid answered cautiously.
out?
Could it be that he went to Hehuan Hall to see Taotao and Susu?
The emperor stopped asking and went straight to Hehuan Hall.
When he opened the curtain and went in, not only did he not see the queen, but Shen Liangdi was not there either. He came to the small bed with doubts and found that the small bed was empty, and Susu and Taotao were missing.
The emperor walked out with a sullen face and asked the young eunuch sweeping the floor in the courtyard, "Where are Shen Liangdi and the emperor's grandson's daughter?"
The little eunuch stopped sweeping the floor and replied: "Go back to the emperor and go out with the queen."
"Going out?" Doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes. In such a cold weather, where did the queen go with Shen Liangdi and the others?
Xiao Jinyan had already obtained the letter written by the queen to him, and the content of the letter was simple and clear.
I will take Shen Liangdi and the others out to stay for a while, so don't worry.
Finally, I still threaten you, don’t tell your father, otherwise I, Shen Liangdi and the others will never come back!
There is a detailed address on the letter.
Even if not, Xiao Jinyan also knew where the queen went with Shen Liangdi.
Xiao Jinyan handed the letter to the candle in front of him and watched it being swallowed up by the flames.
The emperor searched many places but could not find the queen. He couldn't help but start to panic. He hurried back to Fengyi Palace and searched through Fengyi Palace, but still could not see the queen.
Until he saw a red plum hairpin in front of the dressing table, he recognized it at a glance as the birthday gift he had given to the Queen that year.
She was wearing a red riding outfit, and the hairpin he gave her was red, which matched her very well.
When choosing a gift, he felt that the red hairpin was very suitable for her, simple yet generous.
He picked up the red plum hairpin and looked at it. Although it had been many years, it still looked like new.
I found an envelope under the hairpin and felt inexplicably scared.
He eagerly picked up the envelope, opened it, and took out the letter inside with his long fingers.
After reading the contents of the letter, the emperor was completely panicked.
The queen left the palace and ran away.
The queen had lost her temper before, and sometimes she would get so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him, but she never thought of leaving the palace.
He took the letter and strode out, "Here comes someone."
Eunuch Li trotted in, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
The emperor ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone out of the palace to find the queen. She must be found."
Eunuch Li was stunned for a while before he realized that the Queen had left the palace.
Eunuch Li was about to leave, but the emperor stopped Eunuch Li again, "This matter must not be made public."
"Slave, I obey." Eunuch Li took the order and exited.
The emperor then ordered the maids of Fengyi Palace: "The queen is unwell and is recuperating in the palace. No one is allowed to disturb her."
"Slaves, please obey the imperial edict." The maids said in unison.
Later, the emperor ordered someone to call the prince to the imperial study.
When Xiao Jinyan got the news and went to the imperial study, he had already guessed what the emperor wanted.
The moment he stepped into the imperial study room, Xiao Jinyan clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The air around him seemed to be frozen and became very depressing.
Xiao Jinyan took a few steps forward to greet him: "Father, you asked me to come over. Do you have anything to tell me?"
Looking at the prince's reaction, the emperor probably didn't know that the queen had left the palace with Shen Liangdi and the others.
"Your mother left the palace with Shen Liangdi, Taotao and Susu."
Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Father, why did the queen leave the palace? Do you want to take Shen Liangdi and the babies with you?"
The emperor said with a gloomy face: "I also want to know why the queen left the palace. Is there something that I can't tell her face to face? She is not afraid of meeting bad people if she leaves the palace!"
The emperor was angry and worried. The queen knew some kung fu, but she was just like a three-legged cat. She could only show off her fists and embroider her legs. If she met a bad guy with strong martial arts skills, she wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
Xiao Jinyan said: "The queen will not leave the palace for no reason, let alone take Shen Liangdi and the babies away for no reason. The father and the queen are husband and wife. If the father doesn't know the reason, how can we get them back? "
The emperor was startled when he heard the words. Thinking of what happened this afternoon, he knew that the queen was angry, but he didn't expect that she would be so angry and ran away without even giving him a chance to coax her.
While others tend to have a calmer temperament as they get older, she is better off. At forty years old, she is still the same as when she was a teenager.
The Queen had just entered the East Palace and was still the Crown Princess at that time.
There are many rules in the palace, and it took a long time for her to get used to them when she first went to the East Palace.
She was wronged by Concubine Xu's scheme and was so angry that she climbed over the wall and ran away from home that night.
With her three-legged cat skills, she was caught by the Imperial Guards as soon as she climbed to the top of the wall.
Now that she is a queen, she knows how to use the token to leave the palace.
"Your mother is just angry with me." The emperor continued: "Prince, you want to make Shen Liangdi the crown prince, but you have never thought that Shen Liangdi does not have a noble status, and will be the future queen. Chenghe. I have discussed with the Queen and want to foster Taotao and Susu under the name of Concubine Xu, and make Concubine Xu the Crown Princess."
The emperor paused after saying this, "I was just discussing with her. The queen got angry when she got better."
It was only now that Xiao Jinyan understood the emperor's thoughts, and he tried hard to suppress his anger.
"Father, Taotao and Susu were born after Shen Liangdi suffered a lot. You made such a decision with just one sentence. Have you ever thought about Shen Liangdi's feelings?"
The emperor sighed, "I know it's unfair to Shen Liangdi, but I didn't take any practical action. We can find a way to discuss this matter in the future. The most important thing now is to find the queen Shen Liangdi and others. Taotao and Susu are only one month old. How can they bear it?"
Xiao Jinyan said: "If father has always had such thoughts, then I would rather Shen Liangdi live outside the palace with the children."
Emperor The emperor immediately disagreed upon hearing this, "You actually want the crown prince and his daughter to live outside the palace? I will never agree."
Xiao Jinyan reminded: "Father, the most urgent thing is to find the queen mother and Shen Liangdi and others."
The emperor also felt that it was not appropriate to discuss this issue at this time. He ordered: "Prince, you should send more people out of the palace and make sure to find the queen and others. The longer you stay outside the palace, the more dangerous it will be."
Xiao Jinyan lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "Your son obeys your order."
After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Jinyan sent people out of the palace secretly to find someone. Of course, he had to act in full.
Taking advantage of the time to go out of the palace to find someone, Xiao Jinyan rode his horse straight to Fuyaoju in the suburbs outside the city.
It was the first time he knew that this house belonged to his mother.
Shen Chuwei originally had the mentality of making the best of it since he was here.
Although it was a strange place, the environment was good.
The charcoal fire used in the house was the same as that in the palace, which was enough to show that the original owner of this house was very rich.
The small bed in the house was newly purchased, and Taotao and Susu were just right for sleeping.
Babies are usually very well behaved and don't make a lot of noise.
After Taotao finished her milk, she played with the corner of the quilt for a while and then fell asleep.
Only Susu grabbed the corner of the quilt and didn't want to fall asleep.
Shen Chuwei came out of the shower and saw Susu with her beautiful eyes open, looking around, as if she was looking for someone.
"Susu, do you miss your father?"
Shen Chu smiled and said, "Your father misses you too."
Susu stared at Shen Chuwei for a while, and suddenly grinned. When she smiled, her eyes were bright.
Shen Chuwei also smiled, "This place is a little far from the palace. When your father is free, he will come to find us."
Susu opened her mouth, "Yaaaa..."
Shen Chuwei felt very curious when she heard the baby's voice, "Susu, what are you talking about? Are you talking about your father?"
Susu pouted her little mouth and put her finger into her mouth.
Xiao Jinyan, who had come all the way, stood outside the window at this moment, listening to the conversation between Xiaojiu and Susu, and could not help but climb in through the window.
The moment the window was opened, the cold wind whistled past, Shen Chuwei shuddered, looked back at the window, and saw a figure jumping in.
The light in the room was very dim, but Shen Chuwei still recognized at a glance that the person coming was Xiao Jinyan.
She didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to come so soon.
She stood up happily and greeted him, "Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyan hugged her in his arms, and it seemed like they had been separated for a long time even though they had only been separated for most of the day.
"Are the babies still asleep?"
Shen Chuwei's eyebrows curved: "Taotao is asleep, but Susu is not yet. I guess she didn't see you and couldn't bear to sleep."
Xiao Jinyan took her hand and came to the crib. The crib in front of her was a little different from the crib in the East Palace, but the material was good.
When she got closer, she saw Susu sucking her fingers.
"Susu, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Susu saw Xiao Jinyan and grinned, not caring about her fingers.
Shen Chuwei said, "Susu seems to be waiting for His Highness. Seeing you coming, she smiled so sweetly."
Xiao Jinyan looked at his daughter's cute appearance, and his eyes were full of tenderness: "Susu, be good, go to sleep."
Susu smiled for a while, put her fingers back into her mouth, and fell asleep while sucking.
Xiao Jinyan looked down at Shen Chuwei, "I'll go back early tomorrow morning."
It goes without saying that he wanted to stay overnight.
Shen Chuwei was a little worried, "Then will His Highness be able to make it in time for the morning court tomorrow? It's too cold outside to get up early."
Xiao Jinyan said, "It's okay. My mother left the palace and my father is not in the mood to attend the morning court tomorrow. As for me, I was anxious to find my mother and you, so I didn't come back all night."
Shen Chuwei was relieved.
After taking off their clothes, they lay on the bed. The bedding was new and warm.
Xiao Jinyan held her in his arms, sniffing the fragrance on her body, his breath gradually became unstable: "Xiaojiu."
Shen Chuwei blushed, "Jinyan, this is in someone else's house, it's not good."
Xiao Jinyan kissed her, "It's okay, this house belongs to the queen mother."
Shen Chuwei was relieved to let Xiao Jinyan do whatever he wanted after hearing this.
Compared to Xiao Jinyan's happy mood, the couple was in harmony.
The emperor was just miserable, not sleepy at all, standing in Fengyi Palace, thinking about the queen.
