Chapter 99 Crisis
Mu Wan'er, who was sleeping, was startled awake by the palace maids. They were shocked by Lu Hou's decision to take Bai Li and go see the Emperor of Yuan Guo, and they expressed their desire to accompany them.
Luo Hou did not refuse and took Baili Wujin and Muyan'er to the imperial palace, of course, someone had already informed Emperor Yuan beforehand.
Luo Hou almost went all the way unimpeded into the imperial palace and met Dongfang Chen in Qianyuan Palace.
All of you go out. Luo Hou waved his hand and said.
Young lady. The two personal maids by her side looked a bit embarrassed.
Get out! Luo Hou's face sank.
The two old women's faces changed colour and they hastily retreated.
You all go down too. Dongfang Chen also waved his hand at the attendants beside him.
Soon, there were only two people left in the house, Dongfang Chen and Luo Hou.
Your Majesty, I have a matter of great importance to entrust to you, and I beg that you will definitely help. If this matter is successful, I am willing to express my gratitude with generous gifts, whether it be land or gold and silver.
No need for courtesy, just speak your mind. I don't ask for land or gold and silver, I only hope that the two countries of Yuan and Luo can be at peace forever. Dongfang Chen smiled and said.
Many thanks to Emperor Luo, I swear here that as long as I am around for a day, the two countries of Luo Yuan will not go to war and will trade with each other, mutually benefiting. The Empress of Luo said solemnly.
Good, Luo Hou indeed lived up to his reputation. You can speak now, is there anything you need me to help with? Dong Fang Chen smiled and nodded.
Before I say this, I need your imperial majesty's promise. What I am about to say next, except for a few people who must know, please keep it confidential for me...
Luo Hou and Yuan Huang had a long secret conversation...
Finally, Luo Hou came out and said to the crowd waiting outside: "Except for Sun Niangniang, everyone else can go back. The palace will be staying in the palace for a few days, and there are people from the Yuan Emperor serving here, so you don't need to stay here."
The princess, this is not suitable...... Except for Sun Shangshu, everyone else looked at Luo Hou with a difficult expression.
"My mind is made up, there's no need for further discussion." The Empress Dowager said coldly, "Sun Qiang, follow me."
After finishing speaking, Luo Hou followed a eunuch down the steps, passing through the crowd, and walked forward with big strides.
Behind her, another eunuch pushed a wheelchair with Bailiuzi sleeping soundly in it, following behind.
Sun Aunt hastily followed up.
Princess, let me follow you to take care of the young master. Seeing Luo Hou was about to walk far away, Mu Wan'er hurriedly came back to her senses and quickly followed up with small steps.
When Lu Hou heard Mu Wan'er's voice, she paused for a moment, recalling the contents of the letter she saw last night. Her heart was filled with suspicion towards Mu Wan'er. Just as she was about to coldly refuse, she suddenly thought that she couldn't let others notice anything unusual. So, she only spoke lightly: "Wan'er, this is the Yuan Kingdom's imperial palace. It's already very inappropriate for me to stay here, and it would be even more so with a few more people. Alright, I should leave now. The Emperor of Yuan will send someone to escort you out of the palace."
After finishing speaking, Luo Hou strode away, ignoring the attempts of Ren Muwan and other palace maids and eunuchs to persuade him to stay.
Yunfu
Yun Jingchu's face was filled with anxiety, as he called out Wu Shang's name while searching everywhere, in the flower bushes, by the walls, and in every nook and cranny. Yun Jingchu had to carefully search each place.
This morning, Yun Jingchu got up and found that Wu Shang was nowhere to be seen. At first, he thought it might just be hiding in the yard, but after calling out several times without hearing a response, he became anxious and called Bi Ling and Bi He to help search. However, they searched the entire Jingxiu Garden but couldn't find him anywhere.
Soon, Zhu's family and her two personal maids were alarmed, and all three joined the search.
Soon, Yun Jingyan, Yun Jingxi and Yun Jingteng also received the news and all joined the search.
However, more than a dozen people did not even have breakfast and searched for almost an entire morning without finding any trace.
They had no idea that Wu was being quietly taken to Madame Wang's room at this very moment.
