Chapter 433 Nobody can do without her
Western Xia.
Shen Ruzhi looked down at the memorial, and a eunuch stepped forward to report, "Your Majesty, news from Dongling Kingdom."
Shen Ruzhi immediately put down the memorial in her hand and reached out to ask for it, muttering, "It's been almost half a month, and you only just remembered to write to me."
"Perhaps the Princess Consort is too busy with matters in Dongling," the eunuch said, seeing that Shen Ruzhi was in a good mood.
Shen Ruzhi nodded, "You're right, Ningning is destined to be a workaholic, no one can do without her."
As he opened the envelope, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. The young eunuch sensed something was wrong, took two steps back, and lowered his head, waiting for Shen Ruzhi to speak.
"Go and fetch the Empress Dowager." Shen Ruzhi's voice was icy.
After what happened with Yu Hai, she has become more and more like a decisive and ruthless emperor.
This time, however, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
The young eunuch quickly withdrew to find the Empress Dowager.
When Lin Qingshuang arrived, Shen Ruzhi had already changed into her travel clothes. "My son, what's going on?"
"Mother, you've arrived." Shen Ruzhi fastened her belt and whispered to Lin Qingshuang, "Ningning disappeared on her way back. It was probably done by people from Nanli."
"Now that the emperor of Dongling has ascended the throne, the regent has specially invited emperors from other countries, presumably to find Ningning. I can't wait and want to go back first."
"Please arrange for them to come later."
"Should we have a few bodyguards with you?" Lin Qingshuang was a little worried. After all, Shen Ruzhi's martial arts skills were not very high, and her identity could easily attract danger if she went out. "Or, I can have the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect follow you."
"No need," Shen Ruzhi refused without hesitation. "I'll go alone."
"How are you going to get there? You're all alone, with no one to even serve you."
Shen Ruzhi paused, looked up at the outside of the main hall, and gazed into the distance, saying, "I have the large wooden bird that Yu Hai gave me; it will arrive in an hour."
"If we were to travel with an honor guard or on horseback, it would probably take another three to five days to arrive."
"You want to go to Nanli first, right?" Lin Qingshuang exposed Shen Ruzhi's idea.
Shen Ruzhi didn't bother to hide it anymore. "I was sitting inside the big wooden bird's belly, just looking around from the air."
"Don't worry, Mother. I'll be fine. Please take good care of my mother, father, and Nian Nian."
Shen Ruzhi said, "They have just arrived in Xixia, and I am afraid they will not be used to it, and they will be embarrassed to trouble me."
Lin Qingshuang said, "Don't worry, Mother will take care of you wholeheartedly."
"Just you, Zhizhi? Don't you really need someone to be with you?"
Shen Ruzhi shook her head again, "I can do it, Mother."
Seeing Chen Ruzhi's resolute stance, Lin Qingshuang didn't insist on anything further.
Watching Shen Ruzhi walk away, she turned to the head palace maid behind her and said, "Go and inform the Lingxiao Sect, and tell them to warn Dao'er's people to keep their eyes open, in case the prince gets hurt."
"Whether they did it intentionally or deliberately, I will not let them get away with it."
"yes!"
"Also, have them communicate with the martial arts world and try to find Ningning."
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
Lin Qingshuang nodded and turned to walk towards Shen Zhao and Wang Shi's villa.
Shen Ruzhi specially built a villa for them behind the palace, which shows Shen Ruzhi's feelings for Shen Zhao.
Lin Qingshuang didn't feel jealous. If it weren't for Shen Zhao, she might not even be able to see her daughter again in this lifetime.
It was because Shen Zhao saved his daughter that his relationship with Wang Shi became so tumultuous, which is why Zhizhi had instructed her to take good care of him.
We must not let the branches get distracted again.
Just as Shen Ruzhi was piloting the giant wooden bird past the capital of Western Xia, the bird began to malfunction.
Following Yu Hai's instructions, Shen Ruzhi made an emergency landing.
He crawled out of the big wooden bird's belly, circled the bird three times but couldn't find the problem. He looked up again, but there was nothing there in the desolate wilderness.
Shen Ruzhi wandered aimlessly in one direction for a few steps, then turned back.
Not knowing what to do, I thought, "I should have ridden a horse."
Shen Ruzhi kicked the big wooden bird angrily. If it got any later, jackals would come and go. It was better to leave as soon as possible.
Chen Ruzhi prepared to climb onto the head of the large wooden bird, stood up to check her bearings, and knew she couldn't wander aimlessly; doing so would only make her more disoriented.
I might lose my life here.
Shen Ruzhi put her hand above her eyes and looked around. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her, "I told you not to touch it when you're alone."
"It hasn't been long, and you've already become so disobedient?"
"Now you're dumbfounded, aren't you? You've learned your lesson, haven't you?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Ruzhi blankly lowered her hand, turned around in a daze, and when she saw the person in front of her clearly...
Her nose tingled, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. "Ah Hai!"
Shen Ruzhi slid down from the head of the big wooden bird in a hurry. Yu Hai quickly stepped forward to support her and then hugged her tightly in his arms.
Shen Ruzhi hugged Yu Hai tightly, "It's true, it's true."
"I'm not dreaming, Ah Hai, is it really you?"
“You don’t know, ever since your accident, I’ve been dreaming about you every day. In my dreams, you appear in front of me like this, but when I go up to hug you, I always miss you.”
Yu Hai smiled and wiped away Chen Ruzhi's tears, gently comforting her, "It's alright, I'm fine now, everything is over."
"Don't you even know who I am? I am Yu Hai, from a world a thousand years in the future."
Shen Ruzhi said strangely, "How come someone so capable can't outwit that idiot Tuoba Wenjing?"
Yu Hai touched his nose. "I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?"
As soon as Shen Ruzhi thought of something, she immediately looked around and touched her entire body.
Yu Hai grabbed Shen Ruzhi's hand, "Your arms and legs are all there, nothing is missing."
"Back then, the King of Qin found someone with a similar build to me, disguised him, and disfigured some parts of his face before he was able to rescue me from there."
"Don't worry, the person we found is a heinous death row inmate who deserves to die."
Shen Ruzhi wiped away her tears. "He finally did something good. After he returned, I issued an imperial decree that he should return to the capital and not have to go to the northern desert again."
Yu Hai rubbed Chen Ruzhi's head. "Alright, you never used to cry much, but now that you're the empress, you've suddenly started to cry a lot?"
"How about I tell you something even happier?"
Shen Ruzhi looked up at Yu Hai, signaling him to continue. Yu Hai smiled and said, "During my trip to the northern desert, I stumbled upon the mechanism that leads to my world."
"The reason I arrived so late is because I did some research there. If I can get here, the people here should be able to get over here too."
"When the time comes, I can take you to see the world I lived in."
