Chapter 18: News (2)

The time sequence has entered the summer solstice, and the sky has become hotter, even though Yasukuni is already in the northernmost country of the three countries, it has not been much cooler.

As soon as the day is hot, people's anger also rises, and in the Yasukuni Imperial Palace, the one in the imperial study, the raging anger burns the palace maids and eunuchs like cicadas.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites asks to see you. โ€

"Nope!"

Wei Chi Mu angrily threw out his hand and folded it. This year, while he was diligent in government affairs, enriching the country and strengthening the army, he asked the people of the Shadow Pavilion to continue to search for Chi Xiaoman's whereabouts, but he never got any news from Xiaoman.

And the big action of the Shadow Pavilion also made the Shadow Pavilion, an organization that has always been mysterious, surface, and Shadow Lin Ruo was even used as the commander of the guards, directly obeying the emperor's orders, which also made the news that the pavilion master of the Shadow Pavilion was the current emperor's captain Chi Mu, known to the rivers and lakes.

"Your Majesty, not only the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, but also the officials ......"

"Lin Ruo, go down. Seeing that Lin Ruo was still motionless in front of him, Wei Chimu said with an unkind face: "Could it be that even you want to persuade me to give up looking for Xiaoman?"

This year, I don't know how many times, the ministers in the early dynasty admonished, to him to hurry up and set up, to enrich the harem, but he was unwilling to break his promise to Xiaoman, a lifetime of a couple, although now Xiaoman's whereabouts are unknown, but he does not believe that Xiaoman is dead, he believes that one day he can find her, and he can also relieve the responsibility of the Yasukuni emperor.

"The subordinates don't dare, but Niangniang has been missing for more than a year, with Niangniang's affection for the emperor, if she is still alive, she will definitely return to the palace, but now ......" Although Lin Ruo also likes Chi Xiaoman, but it has been more than a year, and the pavilion master has not only exhausted the power of the Shadow Pavilion, but even used the imperial power to order various local officials to send people to search, but there is still no trace of Chi Xiaoman, and he has lost hope.

Will Xiao Man still come back to the palace? Wei Chi Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. Xiao Man has always wanted to escape from the palace, he believes that Xiao Man is alive, but he doesn't want to return to him......

Also, he failed to protect her after all, and became the emperor, but he made her suffer more pain and danger, no wonder she was reluctant to appear in front of him.

But, Xiaoman, Xiaoman, are you really so resolute, you don't even want to let me know where you are?

No matter how many years have passed, he will not give up, he will not give up on continuing to find Xiaoman, and he will not give up his promise to her!

It's soon, the government has gradually stabilized, and the seventh brother will soon be able to take charge on his own, and soon, he will be able to pass the throne to the seventh brother, and then he will be able to give Xiaoman the life she wants.

"Your Majesty. Seeing that the emperor was stunned, Lin Ruo was a little worried, afraid that he had said the wrong thing, how could he think that Niangniang was dead! This is the hope of the emperor! It's just ...... He didn't want to see the emperor go on like this again, if Chi Xiaoman was really gone, would the emperor be like this for the rest of his life? This is what he didn't want to see!

"Go down, let the ministers go back, I won't see anyone today. โ€

"The Queen Mother has arrivedโ€”" Outside the imperial study, the eunuch shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, isn't this even the mourning family?" As the news fell, the Queen Mother had already appeared in front of the door of the imperial study.

The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and if she wants to enter the imperial study without passing the rumor, no one dares to stop her.

"Why is the queen mother here?" Yu Chimu frowned slightly.

Although the queen mother was ashamed of Xiaoman, although Xiaoman disappeared this year, she did not dare to let the minister's daughter enter the palace again, let alone choose a concubine for him at will, but the ministers mentioned that he should be the queen and accept the concubine today, the queen mother came at this juncture, I am afraid that someone is inciting the mother to persuade him behind his back.

"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he hasn't been to the mourning family for two days, and the mourning family has to come to see the emperor in person. She knew what the emperor was upset about, those ministers were still asking to see her outside the imperial study at the moment, but she didn't dare to mention the matter of letting the emperor take a concubine and establish the queen, and she came here today just to see her son.

"The child greets the queen mother. Wei Chimu was very annoyed in his heart, and asked for peace in a humble manner, and then continued: "If the queen mother has nothing else to do, please go back to the Cihui Palace first, and then go to have dinner with the queen mother when the child is young." โ€

"The mourning family is really fine, but Yuya has made people get some desserts from outside the palace, and the mourning family eats well, and they also brought some to the emperor. The Queen Mother said, and ordered the palace maid behind her to bring the pastries she brought.

Wei Chimu was not very interested in pastries, and wanted the queen mother to keep them for herself, but after seeing the things sent by the palace maid, he was excited and said, "Where did this come from!"

"This is Yuya asked people to buy it from outside the palace. The Queen Mother couldn't understand why her son was suddenly so excited.

Outside the palace...... "Lin Ruo, go and invite Princess Yuya to come!" Yu Chimu hurriedly said, "Go quickly!"

"Yes. Lin Ruo hurriedly received the order. He knew why the emperor was so excited, because the pastry was very similar to the "biscuits" made by Chi Xiaoman when he was in Xiangmanlou in the Shengxing Dynasty.

Could it be that Concubine Manniang is really still alive? (To be continued......)
