Shen Ruoxi lovingly patted the boy’s head, and returned to Fengluan Palace hand in hand with Pei Yaozhou.
Today is not only Pei Yaozhou's birthday, but also Shen Xingwan and Pei Xingye's birthday. When they heard the ministers' birthday wishes, they thought of their two children who were far away in the future.
"I wonder what Wanwan and Xiaoye are doing right now?" Pei Yaozhou filled Shen Ruoxi's jade cup with wine. He seemed to be asking Shen Ruoxi, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Wanwan likes sweets, so he should have cake today. Xiaoye likes noodles, so Aunt Zhang will definitely make him longevity noodles." After Shen Ruoxi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and drank the wine in the glass.
The mellow wine goes down my throat with a spicy and fishy taste.
Shen Ruoxi opened her eyes and was stunned by the scene before her.
I saw seven bright stars lined up in a row, hanging in the black sky.
"Seven stars in a row!" Shen Ruoxi exclaimed.
Pei Yaozhou also looked up immediately and then opened his eyes wide.
"Ruoxi, I remember you once said that the alignment of seven stars can open the door to the time tunnel..." Pei Yaozhou's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Shen Ruoxi took out the Millennium Tear and the jade pendant that she had been wearing close to her body for so many years. The moment the two objects touched, a ray of light suddenly shot out.
After seven years, the door to the time tunnel has finally opened again!
Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou clasped their hands tightly together.
…
In the hall, amidst the clinking of glasses, someone suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Look, what's that outside?"
"On your Majesty's birthday, an aurora descended from the sky. This is a very auspicious sign. It will surely bless our Great Yan Kingdom for thousands of years!"
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor! A thousand years, a ...
The ministers knelt on the ground excitedly at the sight.
Lu Yongrui slowly stood up and looked at the half of the sky that was illuminated by Fengluan Palace. For some reason, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart and was inexplicably panicked.
"Father, Queen Mother..."
"My dear ministers, I am also tired today, so I will go back and rest first. You can enjoy yourself."
Although Lu Yongrui is only seven years old, his prestige in the court is second only to that of the Emperor. Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down reverently.
"Farewell, His Royal Highness."
After Lu Yongrui left the hall, he trotted towards Fengluan Palace, scaring the palace maids and eunuchs following him. It was the first time they saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so panicked.
"Where are my father and mother now?" Lu Yongrui asked the palace maid of Fengluan Palace anxiously.
The maid pointed to a small attic in the southwest direction and said, "To answer your Highness, His Majesty, the Emperor and the Empress have gone to the Moon Viewing Pavilion and have ordered us servants not to follow. We will remain here."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yongrui turned and headed towards the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
"Father and Mother, please at least let me see you one last time..." Lu Yongrui muttered as he ran.
On his fifth birthday, his father and mother told him that he actually had a pair of older brothers and sisters, but they were not here, but in a very far away place.
If one day they suddenly disappear, I hope he can understand.
Lu Yongrui climbed up to the top floor of the Moon Viewing Pavilion in two steps. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a strong light that made him unable to open his eyes at all. He had to cover his eyes with his hands.
Everything in front of his eyes turned white, and only his parents' voices echoed in his ears.
"Rui'er, the Emperor and the Empress will always love you."
"Father, Emperor, and Mother! Daddy, Mother, and Rui'er too..."
The strong light disappeared and Lu Yongrui gradually regained his vision. He saw that the room was empty, without even a single person in sight. The sound just now seemed like an illusion.
The young man also hoped that it was just an illusion, and that his father and mother were just tired and went back to the palace to rest.
He walked to the table. The sake in the jade cup was still steaming. Next to the jade cup was a golden brocade bag.
Just as Lu Yongrui was about to open the brocade bag, he caught a glimpse of a teardrop-shaped necklace lying on the ground.
This was something his mother had always worn. If nothing had happened, the necklace would never have been left here.
He took a deep breath, opened the brocade bag, and after reading the words inside, the last bit of hope disappeared.
Tears welled up in the boy's eyes.
When he walked out of the Moon Viewing Pavilion, the tear marks on Lu Yongrui's face had disappeared, and he returned to his normal appearance, but his voice was still a little hoarse.
"Please invite General Luo and Prime Minister Gu to Fengluan Palace and tell them that I have an urgent matter to discuss with them."
Gu Xi and Luo Xuan were about to return home when they were stopped. When they heard that they were summoned by the prince, they were both a little confused.
As soon as they arrived at Fengluan Palace, they were taken to the Queen's bedroom.
Outsiders have never been allowed to enter here. Gu Xi and Luo Xuan were wondering when they saw Lu Yongrui walking out of the bedroom with a tray covered with a yellow cloth in his hand.
"Your Highness, what is this?" Gu Xi asked curiously.
Lu Yongrui lifted the yellow cloth, and on the tray lay the imperial seal and an imperial edict.
"Grandfather, Prime Minister Gu, the Emperor, and the Empress are gone."
"What!" Gu Xi and Luo Xuan said in unison.
"What do you mean by leaving?" Luo Xuan's cheeks flushed with anxiety.
"Is it possible that he has passed away..." Gu Xi said this before realizing what a treasonous thing he had said. He immediately knelt down and said, "I deserve to die. Please punish me, Prince."
Lu Yongrui did not punish Gu Xi, but helped him up: "Father and mother are not dead, they just went to where they should go."
After saying this, the young man knelt down on his knees and said, "Rui'er is young and cannot handle such a big responsibility. I ask my grandfather and Prime Minister Gu to assist Rui'er and protect the Great Yan Kingdom."
