The imperial edict was extremely long. The overall meaning was that Shen Pan 'er had murdered the former Empress Lin Yueying and abolished her position as Empress. She was conferred the title of Empress Chongde Xuansheng. Prime Minister Shen had failed to educate his daughter properly and removed her position as Prime Minister. From then on, the West Chu Dynasty would no longer appoint a Prime Minister and abolish the Prime Minister system. Instead, it would set up six departments under the three provinces.
Since then, Chu Huaijin had created a completely different West Chu Dynasty in history, and had laid a solid foundation for the revival of West Chu.
Chu Huaijin, who was in the court, became more and more intelligent and tenacious. He insisted on attending court every day. No matter if it was windy or rainy, cold or hot, it would not affect his enthusiasm in handling political affairs.
However, the wise and wise Emperor Chongde in front of all the officials of West Chu, once he left the court, he became an ordinary man who had lost the love of his life.
He moved his room to the Phoenix Perching Palace. He habitually looked at the bed that Lin Yueying had once slept on. He slept here night after night, but he did not allow any palace servants to destroy a single blade of grass or tree inside.
Even the gardenia flowers in the corridor were not allowed to grow taller than before. The location of the gardenia flowers would block the long bench that Lin Yueying loved to sit on as long as they grew a little taller.
Looking down at the corridor, it seemed that the girl in white was leaning against a red pillar. Her snow-white face was smiling innocently. Her feet were stretched out among the flowers, gently tapping on the crossbars, making a "dong dong" sound.
"Ying 'er…you're back?" Chu Huaijin put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and took a few steps forward. He did not care if the ink on the brush had dirtied the copybook he had carefully copied.
"Emperor, it's this servant." Xiao Luzi lowered his head. He had already deliberately lowered his voice to the minimum, but he did not expect to still disturb the emperor.
"Didn't I say not to come in for no reason?”
The Taoist priest he had invited into the palace recently had said that if he wanted to see someone who had left for bad reasons, he should go to the place where she often lived. The longer he stayed, the more likely that person would come back to see him. However, when he was living there, he must not enter other people. Otherwise, that person's soul consciousness would be weak and would definitely be scared away.
"Emperor…it's late at night, and you still have morning court tomorrow. Are you…are you resting?”Xiao Luzi stroked his wildly beating heart and finished his words of persuasion.
Recently, the Emperor had been too frightening. He had a crazy attitude towards the affairs of the country, and he was still obsessed with finding the deceased Empress.
"Get out. You're not allowed to come in without Zhen's orders.”
" Your Majesty…" Xiao Luzi suppressed the fear in his heart and knelt at the door, begging him to take care of his body.
Chu Huaijin acted as if he couldn't hear her at all. As usual, he rested in the Phoenix Perching Palace, looking forward to meeting his beloved in his dreams.
Unfortunately, he had stayed in the Perched Phoenix Palace for several months. Other than the sound of the breeze and the sound of the spring water on the rockery, there was no other sound.
He was thoroughly disappointed. The night was long and he couldn't sleep for the entire night. The moment he closed his eyes, he saw Ying 'er smiling at him without any scruples in the fire.
Xiao Luzi's heart ached as he watched Chu Huaijin become more and more haggard by the day, yet he still had to go to court.
One day, when Chu Huaijin went to Xifeng Palace again, he invited the Taoist priest from the Jianghu who came out of nowhere to discuss with him. The next day, Chu Huaijin received a message from the Taoist priest.
"If the Profound Sage Empress had remained here, perhaps she wouldn't have died.”
After leaving this sentence, the Daoist disappeared and never appeared in the West Chu again.
He didn't die…
He didn't die…
These three words pierced deep into Chu Huaijin's heart like a demonic sound.
"Emperor, that Daoist priest is a person who has attained the Dao.”
"Alright, immediately send someone…send someone to look for her.”
In the half a year after the death of the Empress, Emperor Chongde summoned all the painters in the country overnight and ordered them to draw the portrait of the Empress within a day.
The entire West Chu.
When she was going crazy, she suddenly thought of Bai Ze, who had followed her like a shadow.
He was so skilled. If only he had saved her back then.
It was just that Ying 'er was hurt so deeply by him, so it was only natural that she would want to avoid him. However, Bai Ze's characteristics were so obvious, so he definitely wouldn't hide.
He immediately sent someone to issue a new order, announcing to the world that he was sick and that only the Bai family's divine doctor could treat him.
Xiao Luzi watched as Chu Huaijin, other than being a little more serious when dealing with political affairs, was completely crazy at other times.
He was a little suspicious of whether what he did with the Taoist priest was right or wrong.
In order to let the emperor wake up from those illusory memories, he fabricated another lie. Sometimes, one really couldn't lie casually. Otherwise, in order to cover up a lie, one had to cover up another lie.
While waiting to find Bai Ze and Lin Yueying, Chu Huaijin did not move back to Yangxin Palace Hall. Instead, he stayed in Xifeng Palace every night.
He lay on the porcelain pillow that Lin Yueying used to sleep on and touched the hairpin that she used to wear. Days passed, and disappointing news came one after another, but he still did not give up.
The officials could not say anything at all. He was infatuated. For the sake of a dead empress, someone should have come out and said something, but the example of the four officials who had been inexplicably dismissed for half a year was too simple and crude.
Moreover, even though Chu Huaijin was looking for people, he did not abandon the government. In fact, he was even wiser and wiser than before, becoming a wise ruler loved by the people.
Xiao Luzi's feet felt a little heavy. It had been three months since they released the portraits of the Profound Sage Empress and Miracle Doctor Bai, but they still had nothing to show for it. The rosewood carved box in his hand today had fallen from the beam of the Lin Family that had been raided.
"Your Majesty, this is Prime Minister Lin's."
Chu Huaijin hesitated again and again before opening the box. Inside was a booklet wrapped in brown paper. He opened it and saw that it was actually about Lin Mocheng's plans for the West Chu.
The most important thing was to help Chu Huaijin become the wise ruler of the West Chu, allowing the West Chu to achieve unprecedented prosperity. He even faintly revealed that he wanted to support him to become the emperor who unified the four countries…
The words in it were all for the sake of him and the West Chu, but he blamed him and even killed hundreds of people in his Lin family.
His behavior was so outrageous. Even if Ying 'Er was not dead, would she really forgive him?
"Emperor, this servant has discovered a strange thing. I don't know if I should say it.”Xiao Luzi was a little worried that he would make him unhappy.
