Chapter 375: You don’t even give me a chance to coax you. Xiao Jinyan is happy but the emperor is miserable.

The emperor walked quickly into the Fengyi Palace. It was already dinner time, but the empress was not in the restaurant, nor was there a table full of food.

Thinking about that afternoon, the Queen must have still been angry.

The emperor walked out of the restaurant and went straight into the bedroom. He didn't see the queen. He frowned and asked, "Where is the queen?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress has gone out." The little palace maid answered cautiously.

Going out?

Could it be that he went to the Hehuan Hall to see Taotao and Susu?

The emperor did not ask any more questions and turned around and went straight to the Hehuan Palace.

When he lifted the curtain and went in, not only did he not see the Queen, but even Di Shen was not there. He came to the crib with confusion and found that it was empty. Susu and Taotao were gone.

The emperor came out with a gloomy face and asked the eunuch who was sweeping the yard, "Where are Concubine Shen Liang and the emperor's granddaughter?"

The eunuch stopped sweeping and replied, "Your Majesty, they left with the Empress."

"Out?" There was a flash of doubt in the emperor's eyes. Where did the empress and Shen Liangdi go in such a cold day?

Xiao Jinyan had already received the letter written to him by the Queen, the content of which was simple and clear.

I will take Shen Liangdi and the others out to stay for a while, don't worry.

Finally, she even threatened you: Don’t tell your father, otherwise I will take Shen Liangdi and the others and never come back!

The detailed address is on the letter.

Even if not, Xiao Jinyan knew where the Queen took Shen Liangdi.

Xiao Jinyan handed the letter to the candle in front of him and watched the letter being swallowed by the flames.

The emperor looked for the empress in many places but couldn't find her. He couldn't help but panic. He hurried back to the Fengyi Palace and searched the palace thoroughly but still couldn't see the empress.

It was not until he saw a red plum hairpin in front of the dressing table that he recognized it at a glance. It was the birthday gift he gave to the empress when she came of age.

At that time, she was wearing a red riding suit, and the hairpin he gave her was also red, which matched perfectly.

When choosing a gift, he thought the red hairpin was very suitable for her, simple yet elegant.

He picked up the red plum hairpin and looked at it. Although many years had passed, it still looked like new.

I found an envelope under the hairpin and felt inexplicably scared.

He couldn't wait to pick up the envelope and open it, taking out the letter with his slender fingers.

After reading the contents of the letter, the emperor was completely panicked.

The queen left the palace.

The Queen had lost her temper before, and sometimes she would get so angry that she didn't want to talk to him, but she had never thought of leaving the palace.

He strode out with the letter in his hand, "Someone come."

Eunuch Li trotted in, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

The emperor ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone out of the palace to look for the queen. She must be found."

Eunuch Li was stunned for a long time before he realized that the Empress had left the palace.

Just as Eunuch Li was about to leave, the emperor stopped him and said, "This matter cannot be made public."

"As you command." Eunuch Li took the order and left.

The emperor also ordered the maids in Fengyi Palace: "The queen is not feeling well. She should recuperate in the palace. No one is allowed to disturb her."

"We servants will obey the emperor's order." The palace maids said in unison.

Afterwards, the emperor ordered someone to call the prince to Yu's study.

When Xiao Jinyan received the news and went to Yu's study, he had already guessed what the emperor wanted.

The moment he stepped into Yu's study, Xiao Jinyan clearly felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The air around him seemed to be frozen and became very depressing.

Xiao Jinyan took a few steps forward and greeted him: "Father, is there anything you want to tell me to come here?"

The emperor looked at the prince's reaction and estimated that he didn't know that the empress had taken Shen Liangdi and others away from the palace.

"Your mother left the palace with Shen Liangdi, Taotao and Susu."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned for a while, then asked: "Father, why did the Queen Mother leave the palace? And why did she take Shen Liangdi and the babies with her?"

The emperor said with a gloomy face: "I also want to know why the queen wants to leave the palace. Is there anything I can't tell her in person? If she leaves the palace, she is not afraid of meeting bad people!"

The emperor was angry and worried. The queen knew some kung fu, but it was just a rudimentary skill. If she met a bad guy with strong kung fu skills, she would not even have a chance to fight back.

Xiao Jinyan said, "My mother would not leave the palace without a reason, and she would not take Shen Liangdi and the babies away without a reason. My father and my mother are husband and wife. If my father doesn't know the reason, how can he find them back?"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, thinking about what happened this afternoon. He knew that the queen was angry, but he didn't expect her to be so angry that she ran away without even giving him a chance to coax her.

Other people become more stable as they get older, but she is different. She is forty years old and still the same as she was in her teens.

When the Queen first entered the Eastern Palace, she was still the Crown Princess.

There were many rules in the palace, and it took her a long time to adapt when she first arrived at the East Palace.

He was wronged by Concubine Xu's scheme and was so angry that he wanted to climb over the wall and run away from home that night.

With her three-legged cat-like skills, she was caught by the guards just as she climbed to the top of the wall.

Now that she is the empress, she knows how to use a token to leave the palace.

"Your mother is just irritating me." The emperor continued, "Prince, you want to make Shen Liangdi the Crown Princess, but you haven't thought about the fact that Shen Liangdi doesn't have a noble status. If she is made the future Empress, the censors will spit like a river. I have discussed with the Empress and want to place Taotao and Susu under the name of Concubine Xu and make Concubine Xu the Crown Princess."

The emperor paused and said, "I was just discussing this with her, but the queen got angry."

It was only at this moment that Xiao Jinyan realized the emperor's thoughts, and he tried hard to suppress his anger.

"Father, Taotao and Susu were born after Shen Liangdi suffered a lot. You made such a decision based on just one sentence. Have you ever thought about Shen Liangdi's feelings?"

The emperor sighed, "I know it's unfair to Shen Liang Di, but I didn't take any practical action. We can discuss this matter later. The most important thing now is to find Empress Shen Liang Di and the others. Tao Tao and Su Su are only one month old, how can they bear it?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "If Father continues to have such thoughts, then I would rather Shen Liangdi live outside the palace with the children."

The emperor immediately disagreed upon hearing this, "You actually want the crown prince and his grandson to live outside the palace? I will never agree to that."

Xiao Jinyan reminded: "Father, the most urgent task is to find the Queen Mother and Shen Liangdi."

The emperor also felt that this was not the right time to discuss this issue. He ordered, "Prince, send more people out of the palace to find the empress and the others. The longer they stay outside the palace, the more dangerous it will be."

Xiao Jinyan lowered his brows and nodded: "I obey your command."

After leaving Yu's study, Xiao Jinyan sent someone secretly out of the palace to look for someone. Of course, he had to act out the whole play.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out of the palace to look for someone, Xiao Jinyan rode his horse straight to Fuyaoju on the outskirts of the city.

It was the first time he knew that this house belonged to his mother.

Shen Chuwei originally had the mentality of just making the best of it.

Although it is a strange place, the environment is good.

The charcoal fire used in the house was the same as that in the palace, which was enough to show that the original owner of the house was very rich.

The small bed in the room was newly purchased and was just the right size for Taotao and Susu to sleep on.

The babies are usually very well behaved and don't make a lot of noise.

After Taotao finished drinking her milk, she played with the corner of the quilt for a while and then fell asleep.

Only Susu was clutching the corner of the quilt and had no intention of sleeping.

Shen Chuwei came out of the shower and saw Susu blinking her beautiful eyes and looking around, as if she was looking for someone.

"Susu, do you miss your father?"

Shen Chu smiled and said, "Your father misses you too."

Susu stared at Shen Chuwei for a while, and suddenly grinned. When she smiled, her eyes were bright.

Shen Chuwei also laughed, "This place is a bit far from the palace. When your father is free, he will come to find us."

Susu opened her mouth and said, "Aa ...

Shen Chuwei was very curious when she heard the baby speak, "Susu, what are you talking about? Are you talking about father?"

Susu pouts her little mouth and puts her fingers into it.

Xiao Jinyan, who had rushed all the way here, was standing outside the window at this moment. Listening to the conversation between Xiaojiu and Susu, he couldn't help but climb in through the window.

The moment the window was opened, a cold wind blew past. Shen Chuwei shuddered, turned his head to look at the window, and saw a figure leaping in.

The light in the room was dim, but Shen Chuwei still recognized the person at a glance as Xiao Jinyan.

She didn't expect Xiao Jinyan to come to her so soon.

She stood up happily and went to greet him, "Your Highness."

Xiao Jinyan held her in his arms. It seemed like they had been apart for a long time even though they had only been apart for half a day.

"Are the babies still awake?"

Shen Chu smiled slightly: "Taotao has fallen asleep, but Susu hasn't. I guess she didn't see you and couldn't bear to fall asleep."

Xiao Jinyan took her hand and walked to the crib. The crib in front of them was a little different from the one in the East Palace, but the material was good.

When I got closer, I saw Susu sucking her fingers.

"Susu, why aren't you asleep yet?"

When Susu saw Xiao Jinyan grinning, she no longer cared about her fingers.

Shen Chuwei said: "Susu seems to be waiting for His Highness. When she saw you coming, she smiled so sweetly."

Xiao Jinyan looked at his daughter's adorable appearance, his eyes full of tenderness: "Good girl, go to sleep quickly."

Susu smiled for a while, then put her fingers back into her mouth, and fell asleep while sucking.

Xiao Jinyan looked down at Shen Chuwei and said, "I'll go back early tomorrow morning."

It goes without saying that he wants to stay overnight.

Shen Chuwei was a little worried, "Then will Your Highness be able to make it in time for the morning court tomorrow? It's too cold outside to get up early."

Xiao Jinyan said, "It's OK. My mother has left the palace, and my father will not be in the mood to attend the court tomorrow. As for me, I was anxious to find my mother and you, so I didn't return home all night."

Only then did Shen Chuwei feel relieved.

After taking off their clothes, they lay down on the bed. The bedding was new and warm.

Xiao Jinyan held her in his arms, sniffing her fragrance, his breath gradually becoming unstable: "Xiaojiu."

Shen Chu blushed slightly, "Jinyan, this is someone else's home, it's not a good idea."

Xiao Jinyan kissed her and said, "It doesn't matter. This house belongs to the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, Shen Chuwei felt relieved and let Xiao Jinyan do whatever he wanted.

Compared with Xiao Jinyan's happy mood, the couple is in perfect harmony.

The emperor was rather miserable. He had no desire to sleep at all. He stood in the Fengyi Palace, thinking of the empress.
