[Chapter 328 Chapter 328 Entering the Palace]
Although Li Xier is not as good as her elder sister-in-law Xiang Chunyun, she can be said to have watched her sister-in-law grow up.
But when she got married, Shen Yuyao was not married yet. They had been together for a while and got along pretty well.
In addition, they all lived under the same roof, so it was impossible to keep any secrets hidden forever. So after Xiang Chunyun knew the secret of the jade plate, she soon knew it too.
Early in the morning, when her husband's personal servant ran over and said that the second young master was missing, Li Xier was a little worried.
But after seeing the letter her husband sent her shortly afterwards, that little bit of worry was mixed with a hint of envy.
So, although she delivered the jade plate and the letter to her parents-in-law's yard as soon as possible, she did not feel nervous at all.
On the contrary, she even had some excitement that she couldn't hide.
After all, it was her husband who had this adventure.
When Prime Minister Shen was about to go out, he received a letter from his second daughter-in-law.
When he found out that his second son had gone to his daughter's place, his head buzzed.
Prime Minister Shen hadn't felt this way for a long time, and at one moment he even felt a panic.
Fortunately, this feeling is fleeting.
What replaced it was a sense of fatalism that the shoe had finally dropped.
Prime Minister Shen knew that what he had been worried about had happened.
The disappearance of the second son is very different from the disappearance of his wife.
I could hide it then, but I can’t now.
Prime Minister Shen read the letter, then handed it back to his wife, said "Got it", and continued to walk out.
Leaving behind Li Xier with a confused look on her face and Old Madam Shen with a complicated expression.
Only after watching her father-in-law disappear outside the yard did Li Xier come to her senses.
She looked at the old lady and asked tentatively: "Mother, what should we do now?"
Although Li Xier had some idea in her mind, she really didn't expect her father-in-law to be so calm after knowing that her husband disappeared.
This even made her feel that her father-in-law had already anticipated this matter.
Li Xier couldn't help but secretly wonder in her heart, could it be that her husband's visit to his sister-in-law was something they had discussed in advance?
Just hiding it from yourself?
Old Madam Shen's mentality at this time was similar to that of Prime Minister Shen. She also knew very well that this matter could not be concealed.
She didn't want to pay attention to her daughter-in-law's temptation, and directly ordered: "Watch the mouths of the people in your yard, don't let me know that anyone is talking nonsense outside."
Li Xier's expression started to frighten her, and she quickly stood up and nodded in agreement.
After sending her daughter-in-law away, Old Madam Shen rubbed her brows.
Then she sent her personal maid over and asked her to call the person who was most skilled in needlework to sew several sets of clothes for her second son according to his size, and planned to send them over as quickly as possible.
Prime Minister Shen first asked someone to ask for leave for his second son, and then after the grand court meeting, he did not leave, but handed a sign to the emperor as soon as possible.
The emperor quickly summoned him into the palace.
Prime Minister Shen signaled the emperor to dismiss everyone, then he knocked his head to the ground and told the emperor about the disappearance of his second son.
After that, he said, "Last night, the goddess came into my dream and told me that she would take that evil creature away and send him to a place where he could learn real skills.
At that time, I thought that whatever I thought about during the day would appear in my dreams at night.
Your Majesty, you are also aware that my troublesome second son has been thinking about some new military tactics recently, and he has become a little obsessed with them.
I was planning to take some time out these days to talk to him about this matter."
At this point, Prime Minister Shen sighed: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that this evil creature not only made trouble at home, but he even alarmed the goddess!"
After saying that, Prime Minister Shen raised his head and looked at the emperor with a look of uneasiness and shame in his eyes: "Now that it has become like this, I dare not deceive the emperor, so I can only ask for leave for my son first, and then ask the emperor to punish him for leaving without saying goodbye!"
When the Emperor summoned Prime Minister Shen in, he originally thought he had some official business, but he never expected to hear such news!
I was shocked for a moment.
The emperor remained silent for a long time.
He was not angry, but he was unable to digest the information contained in Prime Minister Shen's words for a while.
The emperor's mind is still in a mess at the moment.
He stared at Prime Minister Shen who was kneeling on the ground, and after a while he asked, "My dear minister, do you mean to say that my brave general also went to the fairyland? Was he taken there by the goddess?"
How could Prime Minister Shen dare to admit this!
He immediately said, "That's not the case. If I'm not mistaken, he should have been sent by the goddess to another country, a country with strong soldiers and brave warriors.
The goddess told him in a dream that she couldn’t bear to see him thinking about it day and night, so she sent him there to see it for himself, hoping that he would gain something.”
The emperor finally understood that Shen Junshan did not go to the fairyland, but was sent to another country.
This made him feel a little better.
After all, as a monarch and the ruler of a country, if there is a place to go to the fairyland, it should be his.
How can we let a young boy take the lead?
But...if we really go to a country with a strong military to learn the art of commanding a military, that would be a great thing!
He immediately became interested and asked, "Did the goddess say where it was sent to?"
"It's a place called Huaguo."
"China?"
"yes."
"Why have I never heard of this country? Is it some foreign country?"
"The goddess said that China is not in the same realm as us, but is a country in another world thousands of miles away."
…
Prime Minister Shen did not dare to reveal too much information about his daughter's world to the emperor, but he did not dare not mention it at all.
After all, he couldn't let the seeds of doubt grow in the emperor's heart.
The second son is a military general and he is not allowed to leave his post without military orders. This is a military order.
If the emperor doesn't believe him and pursues the matter resolutely, it will be a huge trouble.
Fortunately, the emperor obviously had no intention of pursuing the matter.
Although Prime Minister Shen himself couldn't tell whether the emperor did this because he believed his words, he decided to investigate privately before making a decision.
But at least I've passed this level today.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and realized that due to nervousness and the heat, his entire back of the clothes was soaked.
After coming out of the palace, Prime Minister Shen did not go to handle official business, but directly called a carriage to go home first.
After he returned, he didn't even wash up immediately, but picked up a pen to write a letter to his daughter.
In the letter, Prime Minister Shen first recounted his experience after entering the palace today, and then asked his daughter to find a way to show a "miracle" if it was convenient, so that the emperor would believe it more.
In addition, of course, he gave his second son another admonition, hoping that he would seize this opportunity, learn something well, and not let the family down.
When Shen Yuyao received the letter, she was already on her way to call her husband.
