Zhao Yubao has always been the emperor's confidant, so he is naturally always with him. At this moment, the emperor slipped and the first person to react was him. Then he reached out to try to hold the emperor, but the emperor slipped very quickly. In the blink of an eye, even Zhao Yubao, who saved the person, lost his trace.

It can be opened as a place for the emperor to hunt, so there will naturally be no too dangerous places in the hunting ground. Even if there is, it will definitely be excluded from the range where hunting can be carried out, and there are people who are guarding it. Logically, the emperor will never go to those places. However, it suddenly rained heavily. In order to hide from the rain and rush to travel, they have long deviated from the ordinary route. At this moment, even the guards stationed here are a little confused and cannot figure out where they are, so it is naturally impossible to make concessions in advance and avoid those dangerous places.

So the emperor and Zhao Yubao disappeared in an instant.

The people behind were so scared that their faces turned green. The Imperial Army commander immediately ordered everyone to disperse and search in all directions according to the responsibility of each team. Although it was in the rain, no one complained about it. They all knew that if the emperor could not be retrieved this time, their wealth and life would be over, and they would definitely not be able to escape death. In order to survive, they could only do anything.

However, strangely, no matter how they searched, the Emperor and Zhao Yubao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There was a small cliff in the mountain stream where they fell, which was not big and should not be killed. However, the mountain stream below increased due to heavy rain, and brought a lot of mud and stone from the upstream. It was so turbid that it could not be seen clearly in the water. If a person fell down, it was very likely to be washed away by the water.

After discovering this, the Imperial Army Commander felt even more awesome. Almost all of the emperor's servants were soft-legged and sat on the ground, as if they saw the smile of the god of death. But the Imperial Army Commander was also a determined person. While arranging people to come back to report the message to the queen, he led his subordinates to search along the way. Even if there was no hope, he must find the emperor, and he must see the corpse when he was alive!

Of course, he did not say this to anyone in the last sentence. The Imperial Army soldier who came back to report the message did not know how heavy the heart of his commander was at this moment. After he finished these things, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply, and never said any irrelevant words.

The queen was already feeling her heart crunched and almost couldn't breathe.

She sat in front of her head. She was confused for a moment and couldn't think of anything. She could only cry silently, and her mind was blank. Pei Xiner didn't have the heart to consider her mood at this moment. Her thoughts were turning around in her heart, and many doubts and questions flocked into her mind.

Although it was raining heavily and it was difficult to distinguish things, Zhao Yuzhang had always been cautious and had outstanding abilities. How could he go without distinguishing direction and ignore safety? That man would not let himself take risks easily even in the snow and ice, right?

Although the mountain stream suddenly broke out, two living people, one of them, was a man famous for his military power, so how could they be washed away by the water so easily? Any time they struggled a little, they could always slow down for a moment or two? As long as there was a slight ease, I believe that so many imperial guards would find them and would definitely sacrifice their lives to rescue them. However, until now, the person who reported the news has been back for so long, but no further news has been heard, indicating that the emperor and Zhao Yubao have not been found yet. How is this possible?!

The most important thing is that the emperor has always been wise and martial, and always has careful planning in his work. Zhizhu is in control, but this time he doesn't care about it, just like a young boy, and he must go up the mountain to hunt despite the threat of heavy rain. Knowing that it may be because of the situation, no one with a little common sense or rationality will do that. Even if he hunts, it can be achieved nearby or on plains, right?

The signs were mixed together, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not simple, with deliberate traces everywhere. She just didn't know whether these deliberate traces were left intentionally or unintentionally? And if it was done by someone who was determined, who did it?

As a woman from the back home, she was not very clear about the situation in the court. Although she was smart and intuitive to react to something strange about this matter, she could not draw any useful conclusions. But the only thing that is certain is that since something is strange, Zhao Yuzhang and the emperor's lives should not be so easy to play. Although the two of them don't know their lives and deaths at this moment, she was not as panicked and desperate as others.

Hearing the words of Aunt Mo to persuade the queen to rest assured, she came to her senses, turned her head to look, and then pursed her lips and said, "Empress, no news is the best news. The emperor's auspicious person and heavenly appearance will definitely not be a problem."

The queen woke up in horror, lowered her head and chewed her words repeatedly, her eyes were still a little confused, and she unconsciously said all the thoughts in her heart: "There is no news... If the emperor is really washed away by the water, what if..."

"Empress!" Pei Xiner interrupted her words regardless of etiquette and said seriously, "The emperor will definitely be fine. Even if everyone doubts this, you should not give up. Besides, in order to help the emperor stabilize the people's hearts, you are not at a loss now. There are all Niang Lai in the palace. If you fall down, what should you do when the emperor comes back?"

Everything she said seemed to hit the queen's heart. When she finished speaking, the queen had already calmed down. It was not that she was not worried about the emperor's safety, but that she hid this worry in her heart. She was right. If she couldn't stabilize the hearts of the whole palace and took charge of the whole situation as the queen, when the emperor came back and saw this chaos, what would she think of her as the queen? How could she convince people?

He looked at Pei Xiner gratefully, and the queen cheered up. First, he doubled the military strength of the imperial guards at the palace gate. At the same time, he made the news of the emperor in danger in the palace, but it was not true. He only said that the emperor suffered minor injuries on the mountain and was lucky to be rescued by General Yongwei, which was not a big deal. However, the dragon body was the most important. At the suggestion of the accompanying imperial physician, the emperor and others looked for a place to rest and did not rush back to the palace.

Such plausible news was announced, which not only found an excuse for the emperor not to return to the palace for a long time, but also avoided those who were interested in deliberately spreading various rumors and making a fuss about the emperor's life and death.

In addition, she ordered her confidants to quickly rush to the place where the emperor was in trouble and issued an imperial edict to the Imperial Guard Commander, ordering him to strictly block the news and not allow anyone to pass the true situation back to the palace. At the same time, she stepped up searching for the emperor's whereabouts, and in any case, she must ensure that the emperor returns to the palace alive.

Although the queen is not the most favored in the palace, she has always been respected by the emperor. From the perspective of the emperor asking her to take care of herself, she is also firmly standing on the side of the emperor to fight against the empress dowager. Therefore, the queen has a lot of power in her hands, and at this urgent moment, she even took action to control those restless people inside and outside the palace, which shows her methods.

No wonder she was able to sit firmly in the central palace among the 3,000 beauties in the harem. In addition to the decentness given by the emperor, her wrists and mind are also important reasons.

Pei Xiner kept watching quietly. She was very self-aware of her identity, and naturally knew that this was not the time for her to make a comeback. She had already been very arrogant when she spoke to the queen just now. She followed the power of the matter, and the queen couldn't say anything. But if she still showed her strength at this moment, no matter how generous the queen was, she would not be able to tolerate such a person. She had not lived enough yet, and wanted to accompany the children to grow up safely and get married and start a career, so she naturally would not sit and wait for the death of her own.

She was naturally seen by the queen in her heart. She couldn't help but admire her even more. It was rare that she could not be shocked or impatient, calmly and steadily when encountering things, and think carefully. If she hadn't said it at a loss this time, she would have been unable to wake up for a while. Time is precious and cannot be delayed for a while. If it weren't for the fact that she was confused, it would not be so easy to control.

She then looked at Pei Xiner and said with a smile: "Sister Xiner, you are indeed a smart and independent person. No wonder the emperor and General Zhao both believe you so much. This time you have made great contributions. When the emperor comes back, I will definitely ask for me for you!"

Pei Xiner couldn't help but smile bitterly. Before the emperor came back, she actually wanted to ask for merit. However, it was not suitable to dampen the queen's enthusiasm, so she could only bow slightly and said humbly: "The civilian woman did nothing. If the empress had not been holding her own wisdom, it would be useless for the civilian woman to say something. It can be seen that this is the Empress's own blessing. The civilian woman just took some benefits and dared not say anything to ask for me."

The queen kept flattering her, and while she was worried, she couldn't help but smile. But then she put away her smile again and frowned slightly and said, "I was so panicked at first, but I didn't think it clearly. Now I calmed down and thought about it. Why is this matter so evil this time? There are many unreasonable things, which are extremely confusing."

Pei Xiner had known that the queen was not an ordinary person and could even think of something she could think of. What else would she have imagined after calming down? So she was not surprised, but she didn't say anything. She just glanced at the person next to her and wanted to speak but stopped.

The queen understood and waved her hand quickly, saying, "You all go down."
