"Lord Zhou?" In fact, there is a second half of this sentence, who is Lord Zhou? What does it have to do with me.

The emperor and the queen glanced at each other, and the expressions of both of them were a little incomprehensible, this Xiaoman pretended not to understand or understood, but something went wrong between the two of them.

The emperor fumbled with the wrench on his thumb, thinking to himself that there should be no problems between the two, and before leaving, Zhou Duchan also swore to himself that when he came back from this errand, he would ask the emperor to give them a marriage.

"Zhou Duchan, they encountered a flood, and their whereabouts are still unknown."

The smile on Xiao Man's face disappeared little by little, and his big eyes were full of sadness.

"When?"

"The report I received a few days ago, it is estimated that it has been more than ten days since I added the time on the road, and there has been no news, so it is very likely that there is more luck than luck."

The grief spread from the bottom of his heart to the whole body, and the pain knocked on Xiao Man's heart, Xiao Man shook his head and couldn't believe it, "No, he will definitely be fine, he promised me, he still owes me so much, he is a trustworthy person, he will not break his word, I believe in him...... No...... No, it won't. Xiao Man sat on the ground, sad and flowing.

Xiao Man's heart was so confused that he didn't see the weird smile on the emperor's face, the emperor made a color towards the queen, and then got up and walked away. Looking at the emperor's back, the queen showed a disgusted expression, this man is really insatiable, and he fights anyone's idea.

After the emperor left, Queen Liu held her big belly and personally helped Xiaoman to sit down beside her.

With a wave of his hand, all the palace maids in the hall retreated, leaving only the queen and Xiaoman.

"Be strong, things are not certain, Lord Zhou's body has not been found, maybe he is not dead or has been rescued.

Xiao Man looked at the queen gratefully, now her heart was in a mess, and she couldn't calm down at all.

"Thank you, Queen, I'm in a mess right now, and I don't know what to do."

"I understand. But the more you have to stabilize at this time, the emperor has already sent out a lot of people, and it's been so many days, this flood should also recede, maybe there will be news soon. ”

"I understand, I'll be strong."

The queen looked at Xiaoman's appearance, and suddenly felt very sorry for this girl in her heart, and the queen has been considering the words: "If, I mean if...... Mr. Zhou...... Really no news ...... the end, you ...... What will you do? ”.

Xiao Man wiped the tears on his face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I won't assume until the end, anyway, I believe he will be fine, and he will come back to see me." ”

The queen felt that smile was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen, no wonder the emperor kept thinking that Xiaoman was really different from other women in the world.

"What are you entering the palace for?"

"By the way, I'm here to find the county lord of Sydney, I've been in the county lord's mansion to help her take care of it these days, you know that we have a lot of business dealings, and we're discussing these days, but after the county lord entered the palace, there was no news, and I couldn't stay in the county lord's mansion all the time, and some things in the house needed the county lord to come back and make decisions, so I thought about going into the palace to find the queen's mother."

"One of the emperor's favorite concubines died, the emperor was very sad, and the emperor announced that Shirley would enter the palace to accompany his old man, and I will ask someone to ask later, can I let Shirley go back to the house today."

"A lot, but thank you to the queen, those two little guys in the county lord's mansion shout every day to find the ...... mother."

As soon as Xiao Man said this sentence, he hurriedly stopped it, almost forgetting that those two little guys were just two orphans adopted by Lord Shirley in the eyes of others.

The queen gently touched her towering belly, "Those two little guys are very likable, but Shirley is not a way to go on like this, after all, Shirley is still an unmarried girl, what can I do if I marry in the future, these two children will drag her down, and they don't even have anyone to worry about in the family, this Shirley is almost twenty years old this year, and she will become an old girl if she continues like this." ”

Xiao Man didn't have any interest in discussing the marriage of Lord Shirley with the queen in her heart, all she was thinking about in her heart was Zhou Duchan, and she said that she believed that Zhou Duchan would definitely be fine, but she was still scared in her heart, because she knew how small human beings were in the face of natural disasters, no matter who you were, no matter how powerful you are, there is no difference in identity and status in the face of natural disasters, everyone is fair, and there are few exceptions.

If it really proves that Zhou Duchan couldn't escape this time in the end, what should he do, what do he want?

The queen didn't know if it was because she was pregnant and unresponsive or what, Xiaoman was wandering, but the queen didn't even notice it, she held Xiaoman's hand and kept talking, and the two staged the most unhearted conversation in the world.

When Xiao Man was in the fugue by the side of the queen of the capital, Shi Chao also arrived in the capital, but Shi Chao did not go home but planned to enter the palace and hand over Zhou Duchan's letter to the emperor before going back to see his mother and Xiao Man.

It was this decision that caused Xiaoman who almost lost his life, and with the token given by Zhou Duchan, Shi Chao quickly entered the palace, and Shi Chao was announced into the emperor's Jinluan Palace.

"Zhou Duchan didn't have an accident......

"Yes, Your Majesty......."

I don't know if it's a mistake, Shi Chao felt that the emperor didn't seem very happy to hear the news that Zhou Duchan was not in danger.

The emperor also realized that his reaction was a little right, and hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to read the letter.

The next thing seemed much easier, and the emperor quickly asked people to prepare related things, but the emperor did not let Shi Chao Ma Shan just leave, but found a lot of reasons to care about Shi Chao and his party, and specially asked people to take Shi Chao and others to the Tai Hospital, so that the Tai Doctor could diagnose and treat them to see if there was anything wrong with their bodies.

After they left the main hall, the emperor directly ordered someone to send a message to the queen, asking the queen to leave Xiaoman until the palace gate was closed.

Although the queen was very reluctant but still couldn't refuse, Xiaoman was in the queen's palace, every time she wanted to find an excuse to say goodbye, she was blocked by the queen, pulling Xiaoman to play chess, playing, and even tasting tea, and finally pulled Xiaoman to give her beauty, and left Xiaoman until the moment before the palace gate closed.

It was almost afternoon when Shi Chao went out of the palace, and the emperor's order was to start immediately, Shi Chao originally wanted to send Zhou Muchan's letter to Xiao Man in person to Xiao Man, but there was no time at all.

Let be forwarded and not at ease, for fear that the letter will fall into the hands of others, in the end, Shi Chao still did not send the letter, thinking that Zhou Duchan should be able to come back soon, and it will be the same for Xiaoman when the time comes.

Xiaoman was sent out before the palace gate was locked, and the lord of Sydney came out with her, and the mood of the two was not very high when they saw each other, and even said that both of them came out of despair, and the two got into the carriage and leaned against each other, and the air seemed to be filled with sadness.

"Xiaoman, Uncle Huang is so pitiful."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"They killed Uncle Huang's favorite woman, and they also killed their children."

throne

"It's not because of the throne, he's afraid that the imperial grandfather won't like him and will pass the throne to this little baby, and he's even more afraid that the imperial grandfather will be restless because of this child."

"Power always makes people lose their nature and become more terrible than beasts."

Lord Shirley was in Xiao Man's arms, and when he was sad, he suddenly got up and looked at Xiao Man, "I forgot to ask how you entered the palace today, didn't you say before that you couldn't enter the palace and asked the people in the palace to stay away." ”

"I also said, I didn't enter the palace for you, you didn't come back all day, the children in the family cried as much as you wanted, and they couldn't inquire about your news, and the housekeeper knew that I had a token from the queen, so he asked me to enter the palace to inquire, but I didn't expect ......."

As soon as the conversation turned, Xiaoman stopped, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you? ”

The more Xiao Man didn't say it, the more worried and anxious the county lord Shirley became, for fear that Xiao Man would be bullied when he entered the palace.

"How can I have such great ability, how can those people in the palace bully a little-known person like me."

"Xiaoman, you don't know, Bicai is not an unknown person, you are more famous than me, since the last palace banquet, everyone knows the relationship between the two of us, many people who didn't associate with me before, and people who don't look down on me now take the initiative to show favor to me, originally I thought it was because of me, but then I learned that they were all because of you."

"Because of me, what good am I?"

"Xiaoman, you don't know, you are now a popular vane in the capital, what clothes to wear, how to dress up, and what makeup is popular are all controlled by your beauty plan and pink beauty."

"That's not my business alone, aren't you also a shareholder of Beauty and Pink, and it's the same to please you."

"It's different, what they know is useless for me, and it's useless to please me."

After speaking, the county lord of Shirley looked at Xiao Man with a smile, only to find that Xiao Man's eyes were blank and looking at a certain place.

Stretched out his hand and pushed Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, what are you looking at?" Why are you so absent-minded, what is going on, and you don't say it, you make me worry like this, is there anything we can't say between the two of us? ”

After listening to the words of the Lord of Sydney, Xiao Man's tears fell, and he threw himself into the arms of the Lord of Sydney, crying uncontrollably.

In front of the Lord of Sydney, Xiao Man is strong and optimistic, never out of control, crying like now, and gently hugging Xiao Man, "What the hell is going on, I feel distressed to see you crying like this, don't cry, I'm going to cry with you." ”

Under the comfort of Lord Shirley, Xiao Man intermittently said what happened in the palace today, "The emperor told me...... Zhou Duchan: They met the flood,...... Until now...... He was not found...... ”

The lord of Shirley stopped moving, she knew about it, and she heard it when she was in the palace, but the lord of Sydney didn't want to let Xiaoman know so soon, because after all, Zhou Duchan's body had not been found, and everything was still possible, but she didn't expect the emperor to tell Xiaoman so eagerly, and she really didn't know what kind of heart he had.
