She had made this determination for a long time, and she had made up her mind since she learned that Ye Shihan was dead.
Bai Chen finally returned to the capital with a group of water control people. After he went to the palace to die, he went directly to the palace.
Su Mu'er had already packed her bags and was preparing to hit the road tomorrow when Doudou and Zhou Zhiyuan were married. When she heard the servant's reply, she hurriedly went to the main hall to see him.
Bai Chen's face didn't look good, and it could be seen that he was very tired during this time.
"Princess, I..."
He hesitated to speak, he didn't know how to speak.
Su Muer knew that he couldn't bear to say those words to her, so she said directly:
"Are you trying to tell me that you failed to get Ye Shihan back?"
Bai Chen nodded with red eyes, "I'm sorry. I heard from the emperor that you already knew about this matter. I couldn't get him back. I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
Su Muer breathed a sigh of relief, "If you can't find it back, I'll look for it myself."
Her words surprised Bai Chen. He looked at her puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
Su Muer picked up the teacup next to her and took a sip, then said softly:
"I don't believe that Ye Shihan will die. Even if he dies, I want to see people in life and a corpse in death, otherwise I will not give up."
Her eyes were firm. Although Bai Chen felt that her trip was a bit hasty, he did not want to stop her. After all, the relationship between her and Ye Shihan was beyond what others could imagine.
Bai Chen nodded slightly, "Well, I will ask someone to draw you a drawing of the specific address where Ye Shihan fell into the water later. But you can't go on the road alone. Let Liu Hai accompany you. He has always been very guilty about Shihan's disappearance and has been on the road.
No words."
"No need." Su Muer shook her head directly, "I don't need anyone to accompany me, I can take care of myself."
"Well, Doudou is getting married tomorrow. I'll go help him with the arrangements. You have a good rest. Don't bring too many things with you on the way. Just bring more banknotes. Too many things will be a burden."
Su Muer nodded, "I know, everyone is helping Doudou prepare for the wedding tomorrow. I have a little pain in my head so I didn't go out. Please go out and greet everyone for me."
Bai Chen nodded and turned around to leave.
Originally, Doudou did not plan to get married so soon, because he was also worried about his father's affairs. Although Su Mu'er did not believe that something would happen to Ye Shihan, the funeral notice had already been sent to the house, and he wanted to wait before getting married.
However, Su Muer insisted that he get married tomorrow because she was going out and she didn't know how long she would be gone. Only when Doudou and Xiaoqian dared to kiss, and Yongping and Zhou Zhiyuan got married, could she leave with peace of mind.
Doudou couldn't defeat Su Mu'er, so he had no choice but to comply with his mother's wishes.
Ye Shihan disappeared, and the emperor knew that something bad was going to happen. He also felt in his heart that he owed Su Muer and her son, so he came to attend the wedding ceremony in person.
The marriage ceremony was held in accordance with the royal marriage etiquette. Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette personally supervised the ceremony. Su Muer did not take care of all matters. Firstly, she felt that she did not have the strength to worry too much. Secondly, she did not have to worry about royal etiquette.
The emperor personally witnessed the wedding ceremony, which also made the two newlyweds earn a lot of face.
After the ceremony, it was time for the wedding banquet. After receiving the bow from the high hall, Su Muer was about to go back to her room to rest. In the yard, the emperor stopped her.
"Auntie Huang..."
Su Muer hurriedly turned around and saluted, "Is the Emperor going back to the palace?"
"Um."
The emperor nodded, "I want to return to the palace, but there are a few words I want to say to the emperor's aunt."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The emperor sighed and then asked:
"I heard that the emperor's aunt is going to find the emperor's uncle?"
"Yes." She said without hesitation and in a firm tone.
"I ordered Bai Chen to lead thousands of people to search along the river for a month but still couldn't find it. How can you blindly search for it like this?"
Su Mu'er looked at the Emperor with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I believe Ye Shihan will not die. He is just somewhere and can't come back. I must find him. Even if he is really dead, I will find him."
His body, otherwise I wouldn’t believe it.”
The emperor's brows furrowed. He looked at the stubborn woman in front of him, pursed his lips and nodded, "Since the emperor's sister-in-law has decided to leave, I can't keep her any longer. Originally, I planned to give the emperor's uncle a grand burial in official attire. But now it seems
It's still too early."
What's the point of being buried in official robes? It's just a formality, and it's a sad formality. How could she agree to it?
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. No matter whether Ye Shihan is dead or alive, I will come back to give an explanation to the Emperor. So I don't want to bury his suit in a lavish ceremony. But during my absence, I would like to ask Your Majesty to be more lenient to Doudou. If he is in the army,
I hope the emperor will be more considerate of what I didn't do well."
"Don't worry, Auntie Huang, I will take care of everything at home. You should also take care of yourself. I heard from Bai Chen that you refused to let Liu Hai accompany you. In this case, I will not send guards to you. I believe that with Auntie Huang's skills, you can take care of yourself."
You are not a problem, Auntie, take care of yourself."
"Your Majesty."
She bowed and the emperor turned and left.
In the evening, Zi Ru came to live with his mother for the first time, because he knew that her mother was going out tomorrow, so he was a little reluctant to leave.
Lying on the bed, Ziru muttered and asked:
"Mom, can you really bring dad back? They all said that dad fell into the water and died. Is that true?"
Ziru's question left her speechless. She didn't know if she could find Ye Shihan. Maybe she would find nothing after ten or eight years, but as long as she didn't see his body, she wouldn't believe that he would die.
"Ziru, mother will try her best to find him. Mother thinks your father will not die and he will not abandon us. What do you think?"
Ziru nodded hurriedly, "I also think daddy will be fine. I hope mother can bring him back. Then Ziru will be very happy."
Su Muer held Ziru's small body tightly in her arms, tears falling down her cheeks.
She didn't want this, and she didn't want Ziru to be alone at such a young age, but what could she do? If she wanted to go find him, Ziru would have to suffer a little.
Although her decision made many people worry about her, no one had the heart to dissuade her.
Early the next morning, she rode on the road alone. She only brought simple luggage and clothes. Xiaoqian stuffed a few extra banknotes for her. Originally she didn't want to bring more, but in order not to worry Xiaoqian and Doudou,
She still took it with her.
All the way south, her eyes were firm and her expression was blank.
She wore the sketch Bai Chen drew for her, as well as the pen and ink Shi Ziqiang bought for Ye Shihan. Originally, Shi Ziqiang wanted to go with her, but she decisively refused. She had to go find Ye Shihan alone, even if she couldn't find him.
, she didn’t want anyone to accompany her, and she didn’t want to waste other people’s time, because she didn’t know how long it would take to come back.
