"Tsk!"
Cheng Yaojin's mouth twitched.
He had always disliked Zhangsun Wuji, this old fox.
A stomach full of evil thoughts and a mind full of schemes!
"Wuji, you've contributed greatly to the marriage between the Great Tang and the Tubo. You've worked hard, as expected of the head of the officials of the Great Tang.”
Li Er nodded approvingly as a reward for Zhangsun Wuji.
In general.
He had achieved all the goals he had set for this celebration.
Not bad!
"Right, Ruhui, you're the closest to Xuanling. How's his condition recently?”
"This time, he fell ill after returning from Tubo. These days, Zhen has been busy with the matters of the envoys of the various countries and has not had the time to visit.”
Li Er looked around and felt that something was missing. After a closer look, he remembered that Fang Xuanling had been excusing himself from court ever since he returned to Chang 'an. He couldn't help but worry.
Fang Xuanling was his number one strategist and was loyal to him.
Li Er was naturally very concerned about his health.
"Your Majesty, this matter is strange. When I heard that Xuanling was sick, I immediately went to visit him. However, he avoided me several times. I don't know why.”
Du Ruhui frowned, shook his head, and sighed.
"Oh? This is a little strange."
"Forget it. It just so happens that most of the envoys have already left. Zhen will take the time to personally visit him.”
Li Er felt that it was a little strange, but he didn't care much about it. Perhaps Fang Xuanling's condition was a little unstable and he didn't want outsiders to see him.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, bad news!"
A servant scrambled into the hall.
"Why are you so flustered?"
Li Er frowned as he looked at the unruly servant.
All the high officials present also looked at the chamberlain.
What happened?
"Your Majesty, there is news from the royal manor in the suburbs of Chang 'an that the Empress and Princess Changle have not returned for a day and a night.”
" What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Li Er suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock and anger.
Zhangsun Wugou was Li Er's first wife.
The husband and wife had experienced more than ten years of ups and downs. They had long forgotten about each other and were unusually loving.
Princess Chang Le was Li Er's favorite, the treasure in his palm.
The two most important women in Li Er's heart had disappeared together.
How could he not be angry?
The atmosphere in the Dew Hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses would fall!
That was no joke!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps the princess is innocent and curious about things outside the palace. The Empress loved her daughter dearly, so she might be accompanying the Princess Palace to play.”
Zhangsun Wuji stepped forward to comfort her.
"Duke Zhao is right! Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The world is peaceful and the Empress and the Princess will be fine.”
"Yes, yes, yes! He'll definitely be fine."
"That's right."
“……”
Everyone agreed.
Hearing these words, Li Er's nervous mood gradually relaxed.
That's right!
Who in the Great Tang dared to disrespect the Empress and Princess?
Perhaps that girl, Changle, was too playful and lost her way outside.
Sigh!
I shouldn't have agreed to let them go out of the palace to play.
Li Er felt a little regretful. He looked up at Cheng Yaojin and said,"Yaojin, I order you to lead two thousand palace guards to find the Empress and Changle. You must find them before sunset.”
"This lowly subject obeys!"
Cheng Yaojin left the Dew Palace in large strides after receiving the order.
Li Er slowly sat on the dragon throne in a daze. He was a little annoyed and asked everyone to leave.
"Sigh!"
"I hope it's okay!"
Murmurs and sighs came from the Dew Palace.
……
Yunzhou.
800 miles north of the pass.
This was the northernmost city of the Great Tang, only a hundred li from the Turkic border.
This city was an important border town and the first line of defense against the Turks.
"Your Majesty, we have finally arrived at Yunzhou after a day and a night. After leaving Yunzhou, they arrived at the Turkic border.”
Lu Dongzan wiped the sweat off his face. He looked tired.
It was understandable.
Running eight hundred miles in a day and night was too much for even a soldier, let alone a civil official like Lu Dongzan.
"Yes, let's rest here today.”
Qin Mu nodded.
Very quickly.
The group of people then settled down in the largest inn in the Cloud Prefecture.
Under Qin Mu's arrangements, Zhangsun Wugou and Chang Le stayed in the same room and sent a few women with extraordinary skills to protect them.”
In such a border city, Zhangsun Wugou and Chang Le would find it hard to escape even if they had wings.
Princess Wen Cheng Li Xue Yan was arranged to stay in another room.
Until this moment.
Li Xue Yan was still kept in the dark and always thought that she was on the way to Tubo. She did not know that Zhangsun Wugou and Chang Le were actually traveling with her.
Of course.
She also thought that the person she was about to marry was Songzan Gambo.
Along the way.
Li Xue Yan accepted her fate!
Things had come to this.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not change his fate.
It was late at night.
Qin Mu slowly walked to the door of the private room.
"Your Majesty."
The two maidservants bowed respectfully.
"Yes."
Qin Mu nodded and pushed the door open to enter.
