Chapter 139 The Desireless Emperor x The Beautiful and Frail Empress Dowager (41)



Since the queen has made plans, she has nothing to say.

The Queen Mother has her own ideas.

They just need to listen and follow.

The next day.

“Knock knock knock—”

"Your Highness, may I come in?"

Yuzhu had already prepared everything for them to return to the palace.

She knocked on Li Xia's door and came to report.

The original owner had a habit since she was a child, that is, she didn't like to have anyone around her when she was bathing and sleeping.

Li Xia came to this world and learned about the original owner's habits.

She found it much more convenient.

"Well, come in."

Li Xia heard Yuzhu's voice in the room, and she answered the door.

“Squeak—”

As soon as Li Xia finished speaking, the door was slowly pushed open from the outside.

Yuzhu lifted her skirt, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother."

"No need to be so polite, Yuzhu, you're here, is everything ready?"

Yuzhu performed a standard salute respectfully.

Li Xia raised his hand and asked speculatively.

"Your Majesty, yes." Yuzhu nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

Li Xia said, "How about this, before we go back to the palace, let's go out for a day."

The meals in the palace are delicious and nutritious.

But she always felt that something was missing.

She could take advantage of this rare opportunity to taste the food outside the palace.

Li Xia felt that she really didn't know how lucky she was.

She was served all kinds of delicacies, but she was still not satisfied.

The delicious food can't satisfy my mouth.

"I will follow the arrangements of the Empress Dowager." Yuzhu replied with her head lowered.

"My Queen Mother, are you telling the truth?"

As soon as Fuling arrived at the door, she heard the conversation coming from inside. She jumped in excitedly, walked quickly to Li Xia's interview room, blinked her bright eyes, raised her head, and asked expectantly.

When Yuzhu saw Fuling's expression, she said, "Fuling, you must be thinking about the delicious food outside."

She was almost drooling.

The fact that Fuling is a foodie is no secret among the three of them; they have all known it since childhood.

Yuzhu spent every day with her.

She knew Fuling's moral character better than anyone else.

In front of Li Xia, Yuzhu didn't give her any face.

Fuling raised her hand and touched her head shyly, then she chuckled, "The one who knows me best is Sister Yuzhu."

She didn't deny it either.

Anyway, there are no other outsiders inside.

There are only two people, the Empress and Sister Yuzhu, and they are our own people.

It doesn't matter if they laugh at me.

"No problem. I'll treat you today. You two can pick whatever you like. Fuling, just eat as much as you want. I'll treat you all."

It was rare for Li Xia to see Fuling smiling so happily.

Since Yuzhu and Fuling followed the original owner into the palace, they experienced many changes, which forced them to disguise themselves.

The changes in Poria cocos are the most obvious.

She has always been heartless and said whatever she wanted, but now she has become much more restrained.

I'm worried all day long.

I feel like I'm starting to get closer to Polygonatum odoratum.

Li Xia hadn't seen a relaxed smile on Fuling's face for a long time.

I must have satisfied her appetite today.

Let her eat whatever she wants and loves.

When he returned to the palace, he was no longer so unbridled.

The same goes for me.

The three of them enjoyed themselves today and temporarily put aside the burdens they were carrying.

———

The Imperial Palace.

Imperial study.

"Didn't you say you had a clue? Why is it broken again?"

Dongfang Xunyi received a mysterious letter that day and immediately took Xiao Luzi back to the palace.

The above is the news about his biological mother, Princess Hong.

Some time ago, he learned in a dream that his mother might still be alive.

Dongfang Xunyi sent his confidant to conduct a secret investigation into the matter.

He waited for a while and finally some clues came out.

Dongfang Xunyi did not hesitate and returned to the palace immediately.

But when he returned to the palace, he realized that the clues were not complete and he would need to wait a few more days.

So Dongfang Xunyi waited patiently in the palace again.

He only ordered the secret guards to stay in the dark corner of the general's mansion and observe Li Xia.

He instructed the secret guards.

If Li Xia has anything to say, she must report it to him.

The confidant fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, I have failed to perform my duties properly. Please punish me." He knelt down and said.

He had no way to explain it.

The clues were indeed found, but I don’t know why.

Every time it seems like the next moment I am trying to find someone.

The clue was lost again.

He didn't dare say these, for fear that the emperor would think he was incompetent.

He could endure some punishment and some physical pain, and he could overcome all of these.

The only thing you can't lose is the mission.

The emperor asked him to do this, which shows how much he values ​​him.

What if I can't even do this well?

The chances of gaining the emperor's favor in the future will definitely be very slim.

so.

No matter what, no matter what method he used, he had to ensure that he fulfilled the emperor's trust and got things done.

"What's the point of punishing you?"

Dongfang Xunyi narrowed his eyes.

He raised his head, turned his eyes and looked away, his thin lips moved: "Mother, where are you?"

He whispered quietly.

The matter of his mother has always been an unhealable pain in his heart.
