"Move aside. I don't want to argue with you right now. I have something important to discuss with the Emperor."
Concubine Rou was really interested in what the Queen said, so she couldn't help but ask the Queen.
"Empress, if you have something important to say, just tell me directly. I am not an outsider, right, Your Majesty?"
The emperor was staring at the queen in a daze at this time, so he ignored Concubine Rou.
It was the first time he saw the queen so nervous, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
When Concubine Rou saw that the emperor did not respond to her immediately, she immediately looked at him.
When she saw the emperor staring at the queen in a daze, she was stunned for a moment.
After she realized what was happening, she immediately stood between the emperor and the queen.
"Empress, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly! As long as it's not too extreme, the Emperor will definitely agree to it.
Don’t you think so, Your Majesty?
The emperor nodded. Although he didn't know what the queen wanted to do, this was the first time the queen had asked him for something, so he would definitely try his best to satisfy her.
"Yes, Queen, just tell me what's wrong! As long as it's something I can do, I will definitely help you."
The queen was waiting for this sentence from the emperor, so she spoke to the emperor immediately without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, I wish to leave the palace. I hope your approval will be granted."
Hearing that the queen wanted to leave the palace, the emperor couldn't help but stand up and looked at her with some confusion.
"Queen, why are you leaving the palace? Is there something wrong?"
The Queen did not want to tell the Emperor about this, mainly because the Emperor still had Concubine Rou by his side. She had always suspected that Concubine Rou was behind the disappearance of her Fourth Prince.
But there was no way. She had not found any evidence, so she could only suppress the matter for the time being.
"Your Majesty, I just want to leave the palace to do something. I will tell you the specific matter after I leave the palace and finish it. Is that okay, Your Majesty?"
After all, the queen has been with the emperor for so long, so she knows how to get the emperor's consent.
Doesn’t the emperor like women like Concubine Rou who are good at pretending and speaking softly?
The queen thought that anyone could pretend, even she could.
She knew what the emperor liked, so she pretended to be like that. In this way, the emperor would definitely not be able to refuse her.
The queen's guess turned out to be correct. As soon as she said this, the emperor agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, Queen, I agree to your request, but I will only give you one day. After one day, you must return to the palace."
One day is actually not enough for the queen, but now that the emperor has agreed to let her leave the palace, she is already very satisfied.
Although she couldn't stay outside the palace for too long, if she was sure that the person outside the palace was really her Fourth Prince, she would definitely find a way to restore his identity.
"I thank the Emperor. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Seeing that the queen was about to leave, the emperor subconsciously stood up and spoke to the queen.
"Queen, what are you going to do outside the palace? Do you want me to accompany you?"
The queen didn't want to tell the emperor about the fourth prince yet, so when she heard what the emperor said, she subconsciously shook her head.
"No need, Your Majesty. It's not appropriate for Your Majesty to be present for this matter of mine. I can go by myself.
Besides, His Majesty still has to accompany Concubine Rou, right? I will not disturb His Majesty.
After the emperor was rejected by the queen, his face instantly turned ugly.
Especially after hearing the queen's next words, it seemed as if she didn't care about him at all.
The emperor particularly disliked this feeling, as it made him feel that the distance between him and the queen seemed to be getting farther and farther.
However, the emperor at this time had no way to deal with the queen. He could only watch the queen go away silently.
After seeing the Queen leave, Concubine Rou immediately looked at the Emperor with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, as a concubine in the harem, how can the Empress leave the palace at will? Moreover, she is the Empress, so she cannot leave the palace at will.
Moreover, the Empress did not explain clearly to the Emperor what she wanted to do after leaving the palace.
I have heard that the Empress had a childhood sweetheart before entering the palace. Could she be..."
When Concubine Rou said this, she covered her mouth and didn't say anything else. It was because of her appearance that people became more suspicious.
When the emperor heard this, his already ugly face became even uglier.
"No, the Queen must have something important to tell you when she leaves the palace. She will definitely not do anything to let me down. Concubine Rou, please don't say anything more.
I still have things to deal with, so I'll leave first."
When Concubine Rou saw the emperor leaving, she couldn't help but smile.
Because she knew that the emperor was in a hurry now, he must be going to investigate the queen.
From the emperor's reaction, it can be seen that what she just said must have worked.
Otherwise, the emperor would definitely not be so anxious.
Although Concubine Rou didn't know why the Queen was preparing to leave the palace.
However, Concubine Rou felt that Queen Hua must be hiding something from the emperor.
Generally, things that are shameful need to be concealed, so Concubine Rou is now looking forward to the emperor finding out what she is hiding.
In fact, Concubine Rou guessed correctly. The emperor was now preparing to investigate why Huang Duzhong left the palace this time.
The emperor is still nervous now. He is afraid that what he will find out is really as Concubine Rou said.
So the emperor now wants to find out what exactly happened that is worthy of the queen leaving the palace in person.
However, the emperor investigated for a long time but still couldn't find out why the queen wanted to leave the palace.
So the emperor could only wait until the queen was ready to leave the palace and then send someone to follow her to see what she was going to do.
The Queen has already sent a letter to Madam Bai, and she plans to go out of the palace to take a look tomorrow.
She couldn't wait any longer. If she didn't have something to prepare today, she might have left the palace directly.
Early the next morning, the queen prepared her things and left the palace.
She didn't notice that when she left, another carriage followed her out of the palace.
When the Queen arrived at General Bai's mansion, she was a little hesitant. She was afraid that the result would not be what she wanted.
She was afraid that this would be another false alarm, as she had been disappointed several times.
