Chapter 476: Relying on Shen Chuwei's help to rescue her husband in Mobei
Upon hearing this, the emperor ordered, "Let him in quickly."
"Yes." After Eunuch Li bowed and went out, Lu Zhaoyan came in from outside.
Before Lu Zhaoyan could even begin to pay his respects, the emperor could not wait to ask, "Lord Lu, how is the calculation going?"
Lu Zhaoyan stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have seen from the hexagrams that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in danger. I have observed the stars every night and found that there are countless stars around the Purple Star. It is not possible to judge whether it is auspicious or ominous. I have also calculated the approximate location of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The emperor frowned upon hearing this: "Does that mean the prince's life could be in danger at any time? Can't you be more specific?"
Lu Zhaoyan thought he was already very good, and he even calculated the approximate location, which made it easier to find. It was more specific... He was not a god~
"Your Majesty, my humble servant's abilities are limited, so this is all I can do."
The emperor also knew that Lu Zhaoyan was good at observing the stars at night and probably knew only the basics of fortune-telling. The most important thing now was to send people to Mobei to find the prince.
"I am sending people to Mobei now."
Lu Zhaoyan suggested, "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Crown Princess go with you as well."
The emperor heard this and asked, "What's the point of a weak woman like the Crown Princess going to Mobei? Mobei is extremely dangerous. It's not appropriate."
Lu Zhaoyan explained: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is a blessed person and can prevent some disasters for Your Highness."
During these three days, Lu Zhaoyan not only read Xiao Jinyan's fortune, but also read Shen Chuwei's fortune. Combining the astrological signs, he concluded that Xiao Jinyan still needed to rely on Shen Chuwei to change his fortune.
It was the first time that the Emperor heard that the Crown Princess had a blessed appearance and could ward off disasters. He thought of the Crown Princess giving birth to a dragon and phoenix twin, which was also a rare auspicious omen.
“You calculated this, too?”
Lu Zhaoyan lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "That's right."
Originally, the Crown Prince had been missing and had kept his disappearance a secret from the Crown Princess. Now, not only did he have to tell the Crown Princess, he also had to let her go with him.
The emperor told the queen about this.
The Queen looked puzzled. "The Crown Princess is just a weak woman. What if she encounters danger in Mobei? Could Lu Zhaoyan have made a mistake?"
The emperor said, "Lu Zhaoyan would not easily say anything that he is not sure of. Since Lu Zhaoyan said that the Crown Princess has a blessed appearance, there must be a basis for his statement."
"...But, I am still a little worried. The Crown Princess is so fragile. When I went to visit Susu, she often asked where her father was and when he would be back. It would take several days to go to Mobei, and Taotao and Susu cannot leave the Crown Princess."
The queen felt distressed whenever she thought of Susu crying for her mommy.
The emperor paused after hearing this and said, "But since this concerns the Crown Prince's safety, the Crown Princess still has to go to Mobei."
The Queen naturally knew how important the Crown Prince's safety was, but she was still worried about letting the Crown Princess go to Mobei.
At this time, Hehuan Hall
Shen Chuwei was eating the pastries bought by Xu Qingqing, and looking at Susu sitting on Xiaobai. Xiaobai had grown a lot and become stronger in the past three months.
Susu practiced many times and finally could sit steadily on Xiaobai's back. She grabbed Xiaobai's fur with her two little hands and shouted happily "Drive..."
Xiaobai was very docile in front of Susu. In order to prevent Susu from falling, he walked steadily.
When the emperor and the empress arrived, they saw Susu on the tiger's back and were immediately frightened. Ever since he raised Xiaobai, the emperor had been worried that Xiaobai would hurt Susu.
Xiaobai is a tiger, a wild beast, he is fierce and not so easy to tame.
The emperor strode over, picked up Susu from the tiger's back, and then pushed her back several steps.
Susu raised her head and saw the emperor. She happily hugged the emperor's neck and kissed his handsome face, "Grandpa."
When the emperor saw Susu's healing smile, all his worries seemed to be swept away and he laughed heartily.
"Susu, you can't sit on the tiger's back. You'll easily fall."
Susu said seriously: "Grandpa, Huhu is very well behaved."
When Shen Chuwei saw the emperor and empress coming, she hurried forward and bowed, "Father, mother."
The queen stepped forward and helped Shen Chuwei up, "Get up."
The emperor said, "Let's go in and talk."
When they entered the house, the emperor and the empress sat on the throne.
Susu hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, and is now snuggling in the emperor's arms.
Chunxi brewed three cups of fresh tea and placed them in front of the emperor, the empress, and Shen Chuwei respectively.
Shen Chuwei was sitting on a chair. She had just eaten some pastries and was feeling a little thirsty. She picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips, blew on it, and took a few sips to quench her thirst.
The Queen and the Emperor looked at each other, then looked at Shen Chuwei, and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Crown Princess, the Emperor and I came here today because we have something to tell you about the Crown Prince."
When Shen Chuwei heard that it was about Xiao Jinyan, she paused in her tea drinking and had a bad feeling in her heart.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"The prince fell off a cliff and disappeared..."
Before the Queen finished her words, there was a "bang" and the teacup in Shen Chuwei's hand shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere, still steaming.
The hot tea splashed on the back of Shen Chuwei's feet, causing her to stand up in pain.
Seeing this, the queen stood up hurriedly and went forward to support Shen Chuwei. Seeing that her embroidered shoes were soaked, she ordered, "Come, call a doctor."
Chunxi called the doctor.
Doctor Wen Yu examined the patient's toe, which was already burned red. After applying ointment, he left.
Shen Chuwei could not care about the injury on her foot. She raised her head and looked at the queen, asking anxiously, "Mother, what happened to His Highness? Why did he fall off the cliff? Has he been found?"
No wonder I haven’t received a letter from home for so long, turns out something happened.
The queen knew that Shen Chuwei would definitely be worried if she told her, so she burned her feet as soon as she said it. How painful must it be to get so red?
She soothed him, "We don't know the exact situation yet, but don't worry too much. Lord Lu has already figured it out. Although the prince is in danger now, he will be fine as long as he is found in time."
When Shen Chuwei heard about the dangerous situation, her heart skipped a beat. In her mind, Lord Lu was a fortune teller, and the dangerous situation must be extremely dangerous.
"I am going to Mobei to find Your Highness."
The queen was stunned when she heard this, and she and the emperor looked at each other in surprise.
Seeing the Emperor and Empress were silent, Shen Chuwei thought they would stop her. She said firmly, "Father, the Emperor and the Empress, don't you want me to go? I am worried about Your Highness. I have to go to Mobei."
The emperor said, "I came here this time to tell you to go to Mobei. Lord Lu said you are a blessed person and can help the prince."
Shen Chuwei heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. It was fine as long as she could go. "I will go pack my luggage."
The queen held down Shen Chuwei who had just stood up, "We will have enough time to pack up later. The emperor will send another general to accompany us, so we need to discuss this further."
Shen Chuwei wanted to set off immediately, but now it was related to the defense of Da Xia's border, which was not a trivial matter, so she had to suppress her urgency.
"So when do we set off?"
The Queen said, "The earliest will be the day after tomorrow."
Shen Chuwei heard this and wondered why the Queen said that it was too late to set out at this moment and that they would set out the day after tomorrow.
I don’t know how Xiao Jinyan is doing now.
After the emperor and the empress left, Shen Chuwei kept packing her luggage.
Chunxi felt a little distressed when she saw this, "Master, please take a rest first, I will pack your luggage for you."
Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at Chunxi. He didn't know when his eyes turned red and his crystal tears were swirling as if they would burst out in the next second.
"Chunxi, will His Highness be okay?"
Chunxi had served Shen Chuwei for several years, but had never seen her master cry? She didn't even cry when she was framed by Chang Liangyuan and imprisoned.
Shen Chuwei blinked her beautiful eyes, tears flowed across her cheeks and fell down as if they were free.
Chunxi panicked immediately, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her cheeks, while comforting her: "Master, His Highness will be fine."
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, but her tears never stopped.
"He promised me that he would take me out of the palace to eat delicious food when I come back. He can't go back on his word."
Susu was lying on the door frame. Seeing her mother crying so sadly, she ran into her mother's arms with her short legs, hugged her thighs, and started crying too.
"Mom, don't cry."
Shen Chuwei looked down at her precious daughter. Seeing that she was crying, she hugged her in her arms with heartache, "Mother is not crying, but there is sand in her eyes."
Shen Chuwei never thought that the lame excuses in the TV drama would be used by herself one day, but how could she bear to do that when her daughter was crying so sadly?
Susu took out a small handkerchief from her bag and wiped the tears from her mother's cheeks while choking up and saying, "Mom, don't cry."
Seeing her daughter being so sensible, Shen Chuwei felt that it would be immature for her to continue crying, and she suddenly stopped crying.
Xiao Jinyan was just missing, why was she crying?
Those who didn't know would think she was crying.
Miraculously, Susu suddenly stopped crying, hugged her mother's neck, and kissed her desperately.
"Baji, Baji..."
Shen Chuwei touched her daughter's face and said with a smile, "Susu is my sweetheart, but I have to be away for a while. You stay in the Hehuan Palace obediently. You can stay at the Empress's place if you want."
Susu didn't quite understand what her mother said, she just felt that her mother was going to leave her, so she immediately hugged her mother's neck, "Mommy, hold the baby."
Shen Chuwei hugged her daughter tightly, raised her head and looked at Chunxi, "You can just pack some daily clothes, and also pack the men's clothes that His Highness gave me."
"I understand." Chunxi stood up and walked to the closet, opened the door, and took out the clothes one by one.
Shen Chuwei walked out holding her daughter and saw Xiao Jinyu walking in.
"Sister-in-law, why are you crying? Who bullied you?" Xiao Jinyu saw that Shen Chuwei's eyes were red, obviously she had been crying, and she felt a little indignant.
Shen Chu shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, I'm just worried about Your Highness."
Xiao Jinyu asked: "What happened to the prince brother?"
Shen Chuwei thought that Xiao Jinyu knew that Xiao Jinyan fell off a cliff and disappeared, but now looking at Xiao Jinyu's reaction, he probably didn't know?
Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Tell me, what happened to the prince brother?"
Shen Chuwei was a little hesitant, "...His Highness had some problems in Mobei. While I'm in Mobei, you should come and accompany Susu more often."
