Hearing that Feng Mingye and Murong Xi were not in the dormitory, Emperor Nanzhao immediately panicked. Yesterday, he had said that he would not leave after he came back, but the kung fu master disappeared after just one night. Emperor Nanzhao's face was very ugly.
She looked at the maid, hoping that what she said was not true. However, the maid knew His Majesty's thoughts and thought that His Majesty wanted to punish her. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty, I really didn't see the prince and the princess."
"Did they not go back to the dormitory yesterday, but to Hades' Mansion?" Concubine Yun asked.
"Yesterday, I clearly said that the palace was ready and asked them to stay in the palace first. How could they leave?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
So Emperor Nanzhao sent for the guards, who told Emperor Nanzhao that the prince and princess did not leave the palace last night, and that the prince and princess were really elusive because the guards did not know when they entered the palace.
"Come here, go and find me in the palace. You must find it for me today." Emperor Nanzhao said angrily.
Concubine Yun Gui was indeed very angry when she saw Emperor Nanzhao, but he was still holding a little baby in his hand. Just as she was about to take the baby over, the little baby sat on Emperor Nanzhao's lap and jumped up and down, laughing.
"Girl, Grandpa Huang scared you, didn't he?" Emperor Nanzhao immediately changed his smile and said softly.
The palace maids and guards kneeling on the ground lowered their heads and did not dare to look. Is this His Majesty who just lost his temper with them?
The little princess shook her body and giggled. When Nanzhao saw such a little princess, her anger was half gone.
"Why don't you go quickly?" Emperor Nanzhao said to the guard.
"Yes." The guard quickly left Liuli Palace.
"You little bastard, I'm so angry. I didn't expect that you would frame me." Emperor Nanzhao said angrily and incoherently.
Concubine Yun smiled, it was only His Highness Pluto who could make His Majesty lose such a big temper. However, when she saw the food on the table, she said: "Your Majesty, no matter whether they have left or not, we still have to eat breakfast.
Besides, Your Majesty doesn’t care about the two children anymore?”
When Emperor Nanzhao heard this, his heart softened. Even if he was angry, he could not scare the child, so he nodded, handed the child to the nanny, and had a meal with Concubine Yun.
Just after finishing their meal, the guards came back to report that Feng Mingye and Murong Xi were indeed not in the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Why don't you let them go to Hades' Mansion?" Concubine Yun asked.
"Didn't you hear what they said and didn't see them leave?" Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the guards didn't see them when they came in?" Concubine Yun said.
Emperor Nanzhao had no choice but to nod his head and let people go to Hades' Mansion to have a look.
As a result, the guard came back to report that Pluto had never come back at all.
Emperor Nanzhao looked very ugly and said, "Where did he go? He didn't even want to leave any news."
"Your Majesty, when you were chatting with Pluto alone, did he not mention any plans?" Concubine Yun asked.
Emperor Nanzhao shook his head and said: "I thought he would not leave when he came back this time. Who would have thought that they would leave secretly."
"I am thinking that they should send the child back after they come back. Maybe the matter over there has not been settled yet. I believe that Pluto is not a person who has no explanation. He will definitely come back after the matter is settled." Concubine Yun Gui advised.
"My concubine, I just wanted to change the clothes for the little princess. I found a letter in the clothes that the princess brought back, which was addressed to Your Majesty." The nanny said in a low voice.
Emperor Nanzhao got excited and said to the nanny: "Bring it to me quickly."
Auntie put the letter directly into His Majesty's hands. After His Majesty opened it and read it, he slammed the table with a loud bang.
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Yun Guifei didn't know the content of the letter. Seeing Emperor Nanzhao's face turn cold again, she knew the content was not that good.
"You little brat, I'm so angry!" Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Your Majesty, what exactly did you write? Concubine Yun said.
Emperor Nanzhao was too lazy to talk nonsense and handed the letter directly to Concubine Yun. Concubine Yun burst out laughing when she saw the letter.
It turned out that there were not a few words written in the letter. It only said that the children were left behind and that they would come back after finishing their work. They did not even say a word of comfort, so His Majesty could not be so angry.
"Your Majesty, after the matter is settled, the children will come back. Why are you angry? If you weren't so anxious to see the two babies, you might not even be able to see them." Concubine Yun said with a smile.
Of course he knew that what Concubine Yun Gui said made sense. If he hadn't mentioned the baby in his letter this time, the two children would never have been able to send the baby back first. The matter with Fengtian Sect must have been very difficult, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed back overnight.
"I don't know when I can come back." Emperor Nanzhao said helplessly.
"Don't worry, Xi'er needs to raise her baby and won't stay in Fengtian Sect for too long." Concubine Yun Gui said.
"I hope so." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"I know you are worried, I know, but they will not leave without coming back this time. Pluto has always been responsible. Since he promised you he would come back, he will definitely come back." Concubine Yun Gui comforted.
In fact, Concubine Yun was also a little uneasy. After all, Feng Mingye was haunted, and she was not sure whether she could come back after finishing her work. Although Feng Mingye was a responsible person, that was only when she was doing business.
But of course she couldn't say that to His Majesty.
Sure enough, Emperor Nanzhao looked better and asked softly: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Why did I lie to you? You don't know that children are filial, otherwise I wouldn't give you such precious pills." Concubine Yun said.
"Xi'er is indeed filial, but forget about that little brat." Emperor Nanzhao snorted and said.
Concubine Yun Gui could tell that Emperor Nanzhao was no longer angry and even looked proud.
"Your Majesty, you are obviously happy that the children came back immediately after receiving your message. If Pluto comes back after finishing his business outside, you don't know." Concubine Yun said with a smile.
"I'm not in a hurry... Yun'er, tell me, if you give up your identity as a noble concubine, would you be willing to walk around with me?" Emperor Nanzhao asked seriously.
"Your Majesty means to leave the palace and go outside for a walk?" Concubine Yun asked.
"That's right, the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom will be left to them. It's time for us to walk around." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"My concubine is eager to go out for a walk. What's the use of the title of concubine?" Concubine Yun said.
"I understand, how about we set off when A Ye comes back from outside?" Emperor Nanzhao said.
"Your Majesty, don't you want to see your grandson born?" Concubine Yun asked.
"You're right, Xi'er is almost four months old now, and she will give birth in less than half a year. Tianmo's family is faster, so she really can't leave?" Emperor Nanzhao said in embarrassment.
"Your Majesty, after they come back, we will walk around the area. If we calculate the time correctly, we will come back early." Concubine Yun said.
"Listen to you, the plan can't change quickly. We can wait until the brat comes back." Emperor Nanzhao said.
After lunch, Emperor Nanzhao felt a little sleepy, so he stayed on the couch to take a nap. While His Majesty was taking a nap, Concubine Yun Guifei asked the people around her to find two safe midwives and send them to Prince Mo's Mansion.
"Mommy, my wish is about to come true." Concubine Yun Guifei said with a slight smile.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by living outside the palace? But how could your Majesty agree?" Grandma Chen asked.
"Your Majesty said that after Pluto comes back this time, he will take me to go outside the palace. Although he will return to the palace, at least for the time being, he can be free and away from the palace." Concubine Yun said.
"It turns out that His Majesty personally promised it, so congratulations to your Majesty. Your Majesty still likes to be free as before," said Grandma Chen.
"I thought I would be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life. I never thought I would have the chance to leave the palace," Concubine Yun said with a smile.
"What the empress said is so pitiful that ordinary women would not envy her." Grandma Chen said.
"Nanny Chen entered the palace with me, and she knows how difficult life in the palace is. In fact, I like to live a simple life. Women who enter the palace will change, and I am no exception. What I did before
, I feel shameful in retrospect." Concubine Yun murmured.
"Your Majesty, the matter is over, why do you need to bring it up again?" Grandma Chen said worriedly.
"I know why Your Majesty has to wait for Pluto to come back, because the one whom Your Majesty relies on the most is Pluto. When he comes back this time, Pluto will probably be able to leave," said Concubine Yun.
"Empress, what do you mean..." Grandma Chen said in surprise.
"Yes, that's what it means. Only when Nanzhao Kingdom is taken care of will Your Majesty really let go and leave the palace." Concubine Yun Guifei said.
"My Lady, the past has passed. Please don't bring it up again." Grandma Chen was worried that Concubine Yun Gui would bring up the past, so she was so cautious.
"I am just lamenting that I was stupid before. As long as Tian Jue is healthy and safe, it is more important than anything else." Concubine Yun said.
"It's great that your Majesty can let go of these things," said Grandma Chen.
"There have been a lot of happy events recently. Tian Mo is going to be a father, and Your Majesty is also very happy. This time when I come back, Princess Pluto is pregnant again, which is also a very happy thing." Concubine Yun Gui said.
"I forgot to tell you, the news just came from Prince Mo's Mansion. Prince Mo has already invited two midwives to be in the mansion. They are more anxious than you." Aunt Chen said with a smile.
"When did he understand these things?" Concubine Yun Gui said somewhat unexpectedly.
"Prince Mo seems to be different from before." Nanny Chen said.
"It was all my fault that Tian Mo went astray earlier. Seeing that his heart is no longer full of hatred, I finally feel less guilty." Concubine Yun Gui said.
"Prince Mo is a lucky man, don't worry." Grandma Chen said.
"My dear concubine, you are also tired, why don't you take a nap for a while," Grandma Chen continued.
Aunt Chen was worried that Concubine Yun Gui was nervous, so she asked Concubine Yun to rest for a while.
You must know that she entered the palace with the imperial concubine. As the personal palace maid beside the imperial concubine, she saw too many imperial concubines' helplessness after entering the palace.
"I know your worries. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. After so many years, I have really figured it out." Concubine Yun said.
"I'm just worried that your Majesty will be wronged." Aunt Chen poured another cup of tea for Concubine Yun Gui and said.
Concubine Yun Guifei took a sip of tea and continued: "Mommy is worried whether I will remember the sad things before. I naturally know your thoughts."
