Yu Yiluo shook her head.
I'm still waiting for the bird to come back. Master Changyun said the Queen asked him to help her find someone through divination. I'd like to see who the Queen is looking for.
The two waited for half an hour, and the bird flapped its wings and flew in from the window. It walked a few steps on the floor and then flew to the small table next to Yu Yiluo and stood there.
"Go ahead."
Yu Yiluo touched its head, and the bird chirped for a while before it became quiet.
"Thank you for your hard work," Yu Yiluo fed it some egg custard, "Let's go."
The bird flew to the window, looked back at Yu Yiluo for a while, then flapped its wings and flew away.
"Mother, the Queen is investigating Prince Rui."
Empress Xian pondered for a moment, "It seems to be just as you said, Luo'er. Prince Rui was not dead back then. The Empress investigated secretly herself instead of letting others investigate. I guess there must be something else going on."
"Mother, let's first determine the Queen's attitude towards Prince Rui. If it's confirmed to be friendly, then it's time to enter the palace."
[If they are friends, you can directly ask the Queen with the jade pendant. If they are enemies, you can investigate secretly first.]
…
The next few days.
Yu Yiluo would let the bird monitor the Queen every day. After a few days, she finally learned the Queen's attitude towards Prince Rui.
The weather is great today. The people sent by the Queen to train Feng Qingqing's guards are training the guards in the spacious courtyard.
Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian came out together and stood on the corridor, watching the people training in the yard.
Feng Qingqing was among them, facing the sun with a bitter face. When she noticed Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian out of the corner of her eye, Feng Qingqing didn't care about the heat anymore, her heart was in her throat.
Could it be that the two of them wanted to take this opportunity to ask for help again? What about their promise to be obedient?
She had just sent the letter and couldn't let the two of them wander around.
Feng Qingqing kept looking over here, signaling the two to go back, but the two smiled at her without moving at all, looking very provocative.
Ling Le noticed Feng Qingqing's little action and frowned, "Madam, please be more serious."
"I understand," Feng Qingqing was worried that Ling Le would notice something was wrong with her, so she looked away and trained seriously.
Qian Jue rarely saw Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian, so he strode towards them.
"What are you doing here?"
His voice was not loud, but it reached Ling Le's ears clearly.
Ling Le raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and rest, and looked at the people standing in the corridor.
When Ling Le's eyes met Empress Xian's, he felt dazed and horrified.
"Madam, who are they?"
Ling Le withdrew his gaze and tried to remain calm.
Feng Qingqing felt a little guilty, "They are guests in my house."
After that, Ling Le didn't ask any more questions, but instead asked, "Since I'm your guest, shouldn't I go meet the Queen?"
"No," Feng Qingqing said, realizing she had overreacted. She quickly tried to make amends, "Actually, I stole them. It was too crude. Lord Ling, please don't tell the Queen Mother."
It is impossible for the two of them to go before the Queen Mother.
"Stolen?"
Ling Le raised his voice a little, "Your Highness, are you not even going to let the girl go now? I will take that girl to see the Queen now."
[This person's reaction to my mother just now was not right. Could I have guessed right?]
[It seems I have to go to the palace to see the Empress earlier than planned. Fortunately, I have already confirmed the Empress's attitude towards Prince Rui.]
"We are really her guests."
Yu Yiluo spoke in a baby voice, and Ling Le only then noticed that there was a child.
The child, the woman, and the man behind the woman whose body was only visible from the neck down, made Ling Le's forehead throb.
"Did your Highness kidnap the entire family of three?"
The queen also said that the princess would be more quiet. In her opinion, she had become even more lawless. She only robbed men before, but now she also did not let go of women and children.
Feng Qingqing: "..."
Yu Yiluo and the other two were stunned when they heard this.
[Fuck your family of three! You're really good at giving Qian Jue a higher generation.]
[Eh, I didn't see Qian Jue's face clearly. Then I'll give this surprise to the Queen and Feng Qingqing later.]
"It's not a family of three."
Feng Qingqing gave a weak explanation, but Ling Le had no intention of listening to her. He only wanted to take Concubine Xian to see the Empress.
"I will take that woman to see the Queen."
Feng Qingqing failed to stop them, and warned them fiercely when Concubine Xian took Yu Yiluo and Ling Le away.
…
Along the way, Ling Le didn't say anything, but just glanced at Empress Xian from time to time.
Empress Xian sat upright in the carriage, holding Yu Yiluo, and ignored Ling Le's gaze.
"Were you really abducted by the princess?"
The carriage was too quiet, so Ling Le started talking.
"Why did this lord take us to see the Queen?"
Empress Xian did not answer but asked instead.
"I have no ill intentions. Don't be afraid. You will understand when you meet the Queen."
The carriage drove to the palace gate and several people got off. Yu Yiluo looked at the Li Kingdom's palace, which looked similar to Tianqi's.
She withdrew her gaze, and followed Ling Le directly to the imperial study in Empress Xian's arms.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The empress was reviewing the memorials without looking up, and just responded faintly.
"But is there something strange going on with the princess again?"
Ling Le bowed, "I have brought people to see you."
The empress slowly raised her head, and when her eyes fell on Concubine Xian's face, she stood up in surprise and walked quickly to Concubine Xian.
He murmured, "It's so similar."
[What does it look like, Prince Rui? ]
With trembling hands, she tried to touch Concubine Xian's face, but she had to withdraw her hand for fear of scaring her.
"Where did you find the man?"
