Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times.
What if Dongfang Xunyi becomes wary of her? How can the mission be carried out?
"I believe you."
Dongfang Xunyi did not doubt Li Xia's words.
He stood up from his chair and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't bother the Queen Mother for now."
The dream became reality one day.
He needs some time to digest it.
Dongfang Xunyi just remembered that he had something important to do.
In his last dream, he told himself that his mother was still alive.
Now that he has become the emperor, it has become much easier for him to find clues about his mother.
Dongfang Xunyi firmly believes it.
As long as his mother is still alive, he will definitely find her.
"Well, your Majesty, take care."
Li Xia stood up to see him off.
She didn't ask too many questions, nor did she keep him.
The first step has been taken, and with the friendships accumulated through those dreams, the opportunity to implement the second step is just around the corner.
The bait has been thrown, just wait for the fish to take the bait.
Dongfang Xunyi took two steps and said with his thin lips: "If the Queen Mother finds it inconvenient for that child..."
"It doesn't matter, just let him stay."
When Li Xia thought of Chen Yi's pitiful appearance just now, she softened her heart.
Let him stay for two days, and then find a chance to send him back.
Dongfang Xunyi opened his lips and wanted to say something, but finally nodded in agreement.
"Well, as long as the Queen Mother is happy."

"Empress Dowager, why did the Emperor leave?"
Fuling walked into the main hall carrying the brewed tea. On her way here, she saw Dongfang Xunyi leaving in the corridor. She walked to Li Xia and poured her tea while asking casually.
She had used all her special skills, intending to show them off in front of the emperor.
If by chance the Emperor happens to like her tea-making skills, he might visit the Empress Dowager more often.
Everyone in the palace is a shrewd person.
Your Majesty may be the Queen Mother, but it is just a title and she has no real power.
The palace servants will change their attitude according to the situation.
If the Emperor came to visit them more often, the palace maids and eunuchs would not dare to look down on the Empress Dowager.
Hearing this, Li Xia looked up at Fuling and deliberately joked, "Fuling, you've only met the emperor a few times, and you're already obsessed with him? How about I go talk to the emperor and have you sent to serve him?"
She covered her mouth and laughed softly.
"Empress Dowager, you know very well that this is not what I meant, but I just wanted to..."
Fuling bit her lower lip, lowered her eyelids, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Okay, I know you and Yuzhu are loyal. Now that I have entered the palace, I will no longer swallow my anger like I did in the general's mansion. No matter what, your wife is the queen mother after all, they dare not really do anything to me. Besides, I have a mouth and hands, and I will fight back when necessary. I am just a palace maid, I just enjoy talking, I don't have the courage to use violence."
Li Xia said.
She understood their concerns.
"Empress Dowager, if you think this way, Sister Yuzhu and I will feel more at ease." Fuling said with relief.
She was just afraid that the Queen Mother was too kind-hearted and that those in the palace who followed the wind would dare to take advantage of her.
"My lady, I have packed everything for the young master."
"Big sister."
Yuzhu took Chen Yi into the main hall.
Li Xia nodded, "Okay, Yuzhu, Fuling, go do your own things, Xiaoyi, come here, I have something to ask you."
"Yes, madam."
Yuzhu and Fuling bowed and stepped back.
"Big sister, what do you want to ask?"
Chen Yi blinked, looked up at Li Xia cautiously, licked his lips, swallowed his saliva and asked.
My elder sister promised not to chase me away.
She wouldn't go back on her word, would she?
"Let me ask you, did any servants in the mansion see you sneaking out or know about it?" Seeing this, Li Xia couldn't bear to be too harsh on Chen Yi.
Now I know I'm afraid of her.
How come when a person sneaks out in the middle of the night, he doesn’t think of being afraid?
Chen Yi pursed his lower lip and shook his head gently, "I don't know either. I didn't see anyone when I came out. No one should know that I left the house."
He wasn't sure.
"Xiao Yi, do you know you are wrong?" Li Xia wanted to give Chen Yi a verbal lesson so that he would remember it.
Chen Yi lowered his head and said nothing.
He doesn't think he did anything wrong.
If he hadn't sneaked out of the general's mansion that day, he might not have found his elder sister yet.
Li Xia saw Chen Yi was silent, she frowned slightly, "Why don't you speak?"
"Big sister, Yi'er just missed you. I searched every corner of the mansion but couldn't find you."
Chen Yi said aggrievedly.
"you……"
When Li Xia heard his words, she couldn't even say what she had prepared.
She sighed: "Don't do this next time."
