“My son, he, he, he has disappeared. He left a letter for you.”
The Empress Dowager's eyes reddened with anxiety.
This is her only son, the one she cares about most, and her only hope in this life.
She remembered asking the Emperor of Western Qin to bring the person to her last night...
She was immediately frightened.
just in case……
Is this child thinking of doing something drastic?
Di Jingling did not accept the letter.
Xiao Tang had already taken it and, after opening it, began to read aloud: "Ninth Imperial Uncle, the outside world is so big, I want to go and see it???"
Upon reading this sentence, the atmosphere in the entire garden suddenly froze and solidified.
The servants around looked at each other in bewilderment.
They never expected that the emperor was just... playful.
The Empress Dowager lost her composure and collapsed to the ground, wailing, "My child, my Qing'er, how could you run around like that, sob sob sob."
Her reaction made Xiao Tang want to complain.
[Damn it, if I were the Empress Dowager, I would never be as stupid as you.]
[Your son is missing! Send people to look for him! What's the use of crying?]
She really wanted to go up and slap that wailing old woman a few times.
If possible!
However, she ultimately held back.
She turned to look at Di Jingling.
The man was clearly also disturbed by the Empress Dowager's crying.
He suddenly spoke up: "Stop crying."
It's very noisy.
His obvious impatience was written all over his face.
Xiao Tang shook her head as she listened, feeling utterly speechless.
However, the Empress Dowager actually stopped crying after being warned by the Regent.
"Yan Jiu, Yan Shi, send men to investigate, focusing on the carriages and vehicles that entered and exited the city gates today."
Since the goal is to go out and take a look, it must be to leave the city.
That brat really knows how to cause trouble.
The man frowned, a displeasure gathering between his brows that he couldn't shake off.
He was indeed very irritable.
If it weren't for the late emperor's will, he would have really said that this young emperor was "a hopeless case."
Xiao Tang remained calm and gently touched the back of the man's hand.
[Wow! The main villain actually got angry about this, that's really unexpected!]
[What I'm saying is, getting angry won't solve anything!]
Xiao Tang just felt that since the Western Qin Emperor had just left today, who could the young emperor possibly come into contact with in the palace? And who could possibly take the young emperor away?
She couldn't think of a second candidate besides the Emperor of Western Qin.
After all, the young emperor was hidden in the Western Qin emperor's carriage, and no one was qualified to check him out.
She suddenly felt that she might have solved the case.
Di Jingling also glanced at her.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Tangtang, please persuade the Empress Dowager that I need to go out for a while."
After saying this, he strode away.
The Empress Dowager gazed at his resolute back before sadly approaching Xiao Tang's side. "Regent's Consort, I only have this one son. I cherish him dearly. Why did he have to run away?"
Xiao Tang was embarrassed.
Well, that's the question...
Not surprising.
Because that young emperor was too playful and had no desire for the throne at all.
But this Empress Dowager, since she claims that he is her son, how come she can't see through such a simple matter?
The little guy clearly doesn't want to be emperor.
What she found utterly baffling was that the late emperor passed the throne to his most beloved youngest son, Di Yanqing, who had absolutely no interest in the throne.
It couldn't possibly be so that Di Jingling could conveniently kill the young emperor and ascend the throne, could it?
Or perhaps they would use the emperor to command the feudal lords?
These thoughts made Xiao Tang suddenly feel a chill run down her spine.
I immediately became irritated.
If Emperor Jingling really ascends the throne as emperor in the future, then what will become of her?
His gaze suddenly swept across the Empress Dowager's face.
She was made empress? And eventually rose to the position of empress dowager?
Throughout history, emperors have often died young, and she had even calculated the imperial appearance and lifespan of the main villain...
Cough cough cough.
Anyway, it was indeed short-lived.
If that's the case, then wouldn't she be able to eventually become Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager didn't know what she was looking at, but she could read a hint of excitement in the bright light in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
She asked curiously.
Xiao Tang shook her head repeatedly, "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Eat a grape to calm your nerves, you'll be fine."
She pushed the fruit platter toward the Empress Dowager, gently comforting her.
Xiao Tang's voice is so gentle.
At first glance, it's impossible to discern anything.
The Empress Dowager seemed a little bewildered, picked up a grape, and popped it into her mouth.
Suddenly remembering something, she stood up. "Yes, I should also go back to the palace to check. What if my Qing'er has returned?"
She said goodbye in a hurry.
Xiao Tang really wanted to tell her that the young emperor would never return to the palace...
Once he left the palace, he was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, impossible to restrain.
Leaving the city is even more remarkable.
This little brat is so naughty.
Children are spoiled and arrogant. They are pampered from a young age and have never experienced hardship, so they do whatever comes to mind.
Especially Di Yanqing, that simple-minded little brat, probably thinks the world has to revolve around him.
Not long after seeing the Empress Dowager off, Yan Shi returned.
His expression was extremely solemn.
Xiao Tang had already started drinking tea, looking calm and composed.
She asked slowly, "How did it go?"
"Your Highness, the confirmed news is that the Emperor may have left with the Emperor of Western Qin."
Xiao Tang clicked his tongue.
Just as she expected.
"If that's the case, Your Highness will surely bring the Emperor back, you..."
“Then I’ll go with him.”
Xiao Tang didn't even think about it.
