Early morning.
Myriad God Palace.
Shangguan Wan 'er carried a stack of memorials and walked towards the main hall.
In the past, the empress would punctually appear in the main hall every day and sit on the phoenix chair to review the memorials of the day!
Today was an exception.
Shangguan Wan 'er walked into the main hall of the Myriad God Palace and saw a few palace maids cleaning.
The empress did not appear!
"Your Majesty, are you late today?"
Shangguan Wan 'er was puzzled, but she did not ask the palace maids about the empress's whereabouts. That was a big taboo!
Moreover, these palace maids might not know.
The empress was not in the main hall of the Myriad God Palace, so Shangguan Wan 'er did not dare to stay any longer. After putting down the memorial, she left the main hall.
Not long after, Shangguan Wan 'er met Di Renjie, who had entered the palace to meet the emperor, in the Imperial City.
"Miss Shangguan, how is His Majesty feeling today?”
Di Renjie wanted to report the case to the empress. As the progress of the investigation was not ideal, he wanted to get some information from Shangguan Wan 'er.
Generally speaking, Shangguan Wan 'er would not hide such a small secret that did not involve a matter of principle.
Especially when Shangguan Wan 'er still needed Di Renjie's help.
Shangguan Wan 'er's grandfather was a minister of the previous emperor of the Great Tang. When he was old, he was sent to be the Grand Tutor of the deposed Crown Prince. Later, he was unfortunately involved in the rebellion of the deposed Crown Prince and eventually died.
Shangguan Wan 'er was also banished to the palace as a lowly servant because of her grandfather's rebellion.
Regarding this case, Shangguan Wan 'er thought that there was something else going on, so she had been planning to help her grandfather recover.
Shangguan Wan 'er hoped that the upright Di Renjie could help her understand this wish.
Therefore, even though Shangguan Wan 'er was already the empress's favorite, she still respected Di Renjie.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Lord Di. I didn't meet Your Majesty when I went to the main hall just now!”
Shangguan Wan 'er explained calmly.
"His Majesty is not in the main hall?"
Di Renjie was stunned when he heard the news.
It was the first time that the empress wasn't working in the main hall of the Myriad God Palace on a weekday morning!
After all, the empress was a peerless king in the fiendish domain. Logically speaking, she shouldn't have any physical discomfort.
As for being late, that was even rarer…
Di Renjie had never seen the empress being late.
In other words…
Since the empress was not in the main hall, it was very likely that she was not in the palace at all!
His Majesty left the palace?
Was she going to do something big?
At this moment, Di Renjie suddenly thought of Pu Qianye, whom he had met at Jixia Academy the day before.
"If the empress needs anything, tell her to come here and look for me!”
Thinking of this, Di Renjie's expression changed slightly and he muttered to himself,"
"Your Majesty…did you go to see that kid?”
Shangguan Wan 'er was originally suspicious of the empress's whereabouts, but after hearing Di Renjie's words, she was stunned on the spot…
Did His Majesty not appear because he went to see Pu Qianye?
This was not possible!
Shangguan Wan 'er subconsciously wanted to deny this speculation. However, she recalled that the empress didn't allow her to follow Pu Qianye the day before and felt that this might be the truth…
But…
No matter what the truth was, Shangguan Wan 'er understood one thing:
"Lord Di, please be careful with your words. This matter is not something that you and I should be concerned about!”
When Di Renjie heard this, he nodded repeatedly."
"Miss Shangguan is right to remind me that I was too rash!”
Following that, Shangguan Wan 'er pretended not to know anything and continued to complete her daily work.
As for the Water Empress, she had not appeared in the Myriad God Palace for two consecutive days.
At this point, Shangguan Wan 'er, who had secretly inquired about Pu Qianye's recent situation, was basically certain that the genius demonic girl that Pu Qianye had just taken in was the disguised empress.
"I really didn't expect His Majesty to do such a thing…"
"Hiding his identity and hiding beside Pu Qianye? For what?"
"Do you want to test Pu Qianye's character and ability?”
"If His Majesty's inspection is successful, will he make a move to pursue Pu Qianye?”
When Shangguan Wan 'er thought of this, she unconsciously felt a little envious.
To Shangguan Wan 'er, the empress's whereabouts were very clear.
However, she did not dare to reveal this to others.
Therefore, all the officials of the Tang Empire were faced with an awkward reality:
The Great Tang's empress suddenly ignored the government!
Although most of the court affairs could be handled by the civil and military officials, there were still some matters that required the empress's intervention…
For example, Japan had a large diplomatic group that was preparing to go to the Myriad God Palace to meet the empress!
The meeting schedule had already been arranged, but since the empress didn't show up, this matter couldn't be carried out.
The head of the Chamberlain of Dependencies, who was in charge of foreign affairs, had a headache, but he had no choice but to seek help from Shangguan Wan 'er.
Shangguan Wan 'er wanted to do him a favor, but she didn't dare to reveal the empress's secret. She could only ignore the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
……
To the empress, the government was just a trivial matter.
Her pursuit of power was only to build a prosperous Great Tang to prove herself!
After her position was stabilized, the empress actually wanted to improve her personal strength!
There were differences in strength between peerless king level experts.
For example, the empress had almost no confidence in winning against the old teacher…
The empress wanted to cross this threshold and become a true god…
The empress felt that Pu Qianye was the key to a breakthrough…
In the empress's eyes, Pu Qianye's strength had soared rapidly. He didn't even have a single shortcoming.
This man was not only the key for her to break through the shackles of her realm, but also the ideal partner in her heart.
It was worth the time to slowly explore…
Therefore, the empress was willful for once and temporarily threw the matters of the imperial court to the back of her mind.
……
That afternoon.
Pu Qianye invited the three female disciples to have dinner in his courtyard. In name, he said that it was a friendly gathering between the teachers and students before the official start of school.
However, Pu Qianye's real purpose was to find out more about Miss Mingkong!
To Pu Qianye, the King's Continent was a world he was familiar with!
Among the three female disciples, Xi Shi and Gongsun Li were familiar figures.
Only the mysterious Miss Ming Kong made Pu Qianye feel a little troubled.
"I must get some useful information out of her today…"
Pu Qianye thought to himself.
