The Queen's Beggar's Wife

Chapter 155 Called to Zhang Guo

After Chu Yueyin returned to the bedroom, she fell asleep with the hope of being awakened by Beiming Yu in the middle of the night, but until she woke up in broad daylight, there was still no trace of Beiming Yu.From this day on, Beiming Yu disappeared from Chu Yueyin's life.

On this day, Chu Yueyin was admiring lotus flowers by the lotus pond in the imperial garden, when she suddenly saw Huangfuyan walking towards her, followed by Sun Jun, she stopped and waited for him to come.

Huangfuyan stopped three steps in front of Chu Yueyin, and said, "I've seen the empress."

"My lord is polite." Chu Yueyin looked at Huangfuyan's robe, and smiled slightly with the corners of her mouth bent.

Huangfuyan raised his eyebrows, looked down strangely, there was neither a hole nor a dirt, and there was nothing wrong with it.Huangfuyan raised his head suspiciously, and saw Chu Yueyin was covering her mouth with a catkin and smiling lightly, her silk sleeves were hanging down softly, revealing a slender wrist.

Huangfuyan's heart skipped a beat, he looked up and down the palace attire on Chu Yueyin's body, and suddenly realized.As if he had made an appointment in advance, he wore a dark blue brocade robe today, which was the same color as the light blue palace dress she was wearing, and even the white cloud patterns embroidered on the sleeves were the same as hers. The birds on the skirt fit perfectly.

"The Empress is so elegant that she actually came to admire the lotus under the scorching sun." Huangfuyan said as he turned sideways to make way.

Chu Yueyin walked forward slowly, "I'm bored in my heart, so I came out for a walk. Since the prince is here, I will accompany me to enjoy the flowers."

"Okay." Huangfuyan took the paper umbrella from Yinqiao's hand, propped it on Chu Yueyin's head, and walked side by side with her.Yin Qiao and Sun Jun followed three steps behind, and behind them was a large group of guards and court ladies.Those who didn't know looked from afar and thought it was the emperor and the empress swimming together in the imperial garden.

Chu Yueyin lowered her voice and asked, "Have you found Xiyan?"

Huangfuyan also replied in a low voice: "Not yet. Sun Jun and I searched secretly for a few days, but we didn't find any clues. She seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared without a trace. Now there are only two possibilities, one One possibility is that she left the palace, and the other possibility is that she was captured or even... killed."

Chu Yueyin was startled, stopped in her tracks, looked at Huangfuyan sideways, and murmured for a long time: "No! Xiyan's martial arts are so high, and her lightness kung fu is so good, how could she be caught? It's even more impossible to kill it. I don't believe it!"

Regarding Chu Yueyin's denial of the second guess, Huangfuyan neither agreed nor refuted, and only asked: "Then you think she is out of the palace?"

Chu Yueyin lightly frowned, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "It's not logical. If she really left the palace on a whim due to urgent matters, after so many days, at least she should give me a message. However, the Chu family There is no movement over there. Is it true that as you said, she..."

"It's just speculation, not confirmed. I will continue to investigate, so you can relax." Huangfuyan interrupted Chu Yueyin, not wanting her to think wildly.He paused for a moment, and resumed his normal voice, "Empress Empress, let's go over there and have a look."

"Okay." Chu Yueyin nodded.The two continued to walk slowly along the lotus pond.

It was midsummer at this time, and the lotus flowers in the lotus pond were blooming just right, some were budding, some were in full bloom, and some had already shed a petal or two, revealing a small green lotus pod in the center of the flower... A gust of wind passed by , a branch of white and pink lotus flowers swaying, the green lotus leaves rolling like waves, and the faint fragrance drifts into the distance with the wind.

At this time, an attendant wearing a gray robe with a silver trim came up from a small path not far away, came close, and bowed to Chu Yueyin and Huangfuyan: "See empress empress, prince Huangfu. "

Chu Yueyin recognized that this attendant was Mo Yu next to Yu Wenhua, thinking that Yu Wenhua had something to ask her, and was about to ask her.But Mo Yu said to Huangfuyan: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's invitation!"

A trace of surprise quickly flashed in the bottom of his eyes, Huangfuyan asked: "What is the emperor looking for this king?"

Mo Yu said: "There is an imperial decree from Ningxi, and the emperor invites the prince to go to the imperial study to receive the decree."

imperial decree?Suspicion suddenly arose in Huangfuyan's heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.At this time, an imperial decree came over, I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse, maybe the emperor brother was planning something again.Huangfuyan sneered secretly, instead of guessing here, it's better to say after receiving the imperial decree, anyway, regardless of misfortune or fortune, he is no longer the second prince who was at the mercy of others.

Thinking of this, Huangfuyan gave Chu Yueyin a worried look, and calmly said, "Please forgive me, empress, I can't accompany you to appreciate the lotus." He beckoned Yinqiao to come forward, and put the He gave her the paper umbrella, and took Sun Jun to the imperial study.

Just as Chu Yueyin was appreciating the lotus flowers by the lotus pond anxiously, Huangfuyan came outside the imperial study.Without a pass, Mo Yu directly invited Huang Fuyan and Sun Jun into the imperial study.In the imperial study room, besides Yu Wenhua and Zhang Xin, there were several other men wearing Ning Xi's court costumes.

As soon as Huangfu Yan entered the imperial study room, before he could salute Yu Wenhua, a decree officer from Ning Xi Kingdom "thumped" and knelt down towards him.

"Small see the prince!"

Huangfuyan was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up. After a closer look, the man looked familiar, he seemed to be one of the attendants close to his father, and he seemed to be called Qiu Shi.

"Are you Qiushi? Father asked you to pass the decree?"

"The young one is Qiu Shi, who came to deliver the decree at the emperor's will. The emperor... the prince should take the order first." Qiu Shi hesitated to speak, and turned to let someone who was also wearing Ningxi's court costume The man stepped forward, took the bright yellow imperial decree from him, and unfolded it.

"Prince Kang, Huang Fuyan listens to the order."

Huangfuyan knelt down, "My son, Huangfuyan, accepts the order." Sun Jun knelt down after him.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that my son, Huang Fuyan, return to Ningxi Kingdom as soon as possible, and I respect you!"

There was no sign beforehand, and there was no news from the inside line over there. It was so sudden and unexpected that such a simple imperial decree summoned him to return to the country, and the imperial decree did not explain the reason.Huangfuyan didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Your minister accepts the order."

Huangfuyan was about to get up to receive the imperial edict, but Qiu Shi said: "Please wait a moment, my lord, there is another imperial edict."

Huangfuyan was startled, and he knelt down again after he had just got up halfway.

"The second imperial decree was an hour later than the first imperial decree. It was an oral order from the emperor and written by the empress herself. She ordered people to catch up with the young one and send them to the Tibetan Yuan Kingdom together." Qiu Shi explained while unfolding another explanation. Yellow imperial decree.

Huangfuyan was surprised and amazed.There was only an hour between the two imperial edicts, and the second imperial edict was orally ordered by the father and written by the empress.Does this mean... something serious happened in the palace?
