The close servant walked carefully to Emperor Wanli, and then muttered a few words in Emperor Wanli's ear with fear and fear.

Anyway, Zhang Jing pricked up his ears, and he couldn't hear what the close servant was muttering.

But when Emperor Wanli looked tight, he asked, "Is this really the case?"

"I don't dare to be sure either."

It can be seen and heard that the close servant was so nervous that he was talking a little trembling.

"So, I dare not speak out, I only dare to report to Master Long Sui. Even Eunuch Zhang, I dare not say a word to him."

After hearing what the closest servant said, Zhang Jing felt a little calmer again, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Emperor Wanli pondered for a moment, waved his hand at Zhang Jing and ordered: "Let's go, follow me to Cining Palace."

Seeing that Emperor Wanli looked nervous as if the sky was about to fall, Zhang Jing hurriedly asked, "Long live, what happened?"

Emperor Wanli did not rush to answer, but said to the nearby servant: "Don't make a statement."

"I know!"

"Let's go." Emperor Wanli left with his sleeves.

Zhang Jing quickly followed him.

The nearby servant who reported the report was trembling in fear, and stood there like a soul-losing loss. He didn't know what to do.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, Emperor Wanli did not make a message in advance, but only brought Zhang Jing into it.

Go straight to the Buddhist temple.

There were two eunuchs on duty in front of the Buddhist temple. When they saw Emperor Wanli suddenly arrive, they were so scared that they were about to report, but they saw Emperor Wanli waved his hand and curled his lips.

The two eunuchs looked extremely embarrassed, but they dared not speak out.

Emperor Wanli rushed in and shouted:

"mother!"

Princess Yongning was so scared that she was shocked. She knew that the matter might have been exposed, but she still held a little bit of luck and said without raising her head:

"Didn't I claim to be a one-month-long practice, and no one will see each other during this period?"

"Second sister, why do you need to hide it anymore?"

Although Emperor Wanli was not sure and did not recognize each other, he also took a chance.

Princess Yongning couldn't hold back at once.

Originally, Emperor Wanli was panicked as soon as he came in.

Princess Yongning had no choice but to turn around.

"It's really you, the second sister."

Emperor Wanli looked at Princess Yongning in surprise, his emotions were very complicated, but he was more angry.

"Where is Mom?"

"Brother, I don't know either." Princess Yongning shook her head and replied in a panic.

"Then why are you here?" Emperor Wanli asked with a stern face.

"It was my mother who asked me to come."

"Where did that mother go?"

"I don't know. My mother just asked me to come here and recite scriptures and Buddha for her for a month, and I don't know anything else."

"So, isn't my mother in Cining Palace?"

“It should be.”

"Zhang Jing." Emperor Wanli shouted.

"I'm here."

"Check it out immediately to see if my mother is in Cining Palace." Emperor Wanli was already furious, "If she is not there, everyone in Cining Palace will have to be punished."

"Yes, long live the Lord."

Zhang Jing left, and he was shocked now. Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Li claimed that she would practice Buddhism in secretly for one month after she asked Princess Yongning to pretend to be her and recite scriptures and Buddha on her behalf, and she secretly left the palace.

Although Zhang Jing has not searched yet, he has basically confirmed that Empress Dowager Li is not in Cining Palace, otherwise Princess Yongning would not have let her replace her.

So to a certain extent, Zhang Jing believes that there is no need to check it at all.

But in order to cooperate with Emperor Wanli, he turned his head and left. Needless to say, the result was.

Of course, no Queen Mother Li was found.

Empress Dowager Li is on her way back to Beijing in this fashion.

Emperor Wanli was so angry that his face turned pale. He was not angry about whether Empress Dowager Li could leave the palace because of why he left the palace, but why he secretly left the palace without hiding it.

Where did you go?

Emperor Wanli summoned all the eunuchs from Cining Palace to the hall, including Princess Yongning.

"Mom secretly left the palace, don't you even know?" Emperor Wanli's expression and eyes were as if they were stinging.

"Long live, please spare me, I really don't know!" The management sign of Cining Palace turned out to be Fu Dahai. Fu Dahai had already replaced him after he died, so he quickly replied.

"Hmph, then what use do I want you?"

I was kneeling in a row, so scared that I didn't dare to say anything.

Only Princess Yongning stood alone, but at this time she didn't dare to look up at Emperor Wanli.

"The Empress Dowager secretly left the palace, and you didn't know what to do, and you took it out and killed me!"

"Long live, please spare me!"

"Long live, please spare me!"

"I really don't know!"

“…”

Kowtow is like pounding garlic, and begging for mercy.

Zhang Jing hurriedly said, "Longsui Ye, please be calm. Please ask Longsui Ye to take back what he said just now. Now the Empress Dowager is missing, nowhere he went, and why he left the palace. I think the most important thing at the moment is to find the Empress Dowager. As for the punishment for these slaves, it will not be too late to deal with the punishment for these slaves later. Besides, if Longsui Ye executes these slaves first, it will be difficult to explain to the Empress Dowager when the Empress Dowager comes back."

"Hmph! Instructions?" Emperor Wanli was angry and couldn't listen. Even Empress Dowager Li dared to scold him, and said angrily, "What do I need to explain? Who should I explain to? I didn't know if my mother secretly left the palace. Do I have a son in my heart? Or do I not take me seriously at all? You said."

Zhang Jing thoughts and said with a flash: "Heronor, the Empress Dowager may have some difficulties, or they may want to give the Empress Dowager a surprise. In short, I think it is not too late to find the Empress Dowager first and then punish these slaves. Besides, even if the Empress Dowager ignores the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager cannot ignore the Empress Dowager!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Wanli couldn't listen to it. "No matter what the reason for my mother, no matter when I find her, these people should die! I will never let it go!"

Seeing that Emperor Wanli was not in trouble, Zhang Jingshen thoughts were shocked. First, he didn't want Emperor Wanli to deal with these people in a hasty way, and second, he didn't know why Empress Dowager Li secretly left the palace. If he just executed everyone around her, he would have to blame him when Empress Dowager Li came back. If Emperor Wanli didn't bring him here, it would be fine, but he was the only one at this moment.

In desperation.

Zhang Jing suddenly had an idea and said to Emperor Wanli gently: "Long live, why not do you like this?"

Then he muttered a few words.

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli calmed down, but still said angrily: "I will keep your lives for the time being. You'd better bless your mother to come back safely! Otherwise, I will not only take your life, but also kill your nine clans."

Then he waved his hand at Princess Yongning: "Second sister, come with me."

Princess Yongning had to follow him tremblely.

Emperor Wanli returned to the Xihunting Pavilion and immediately issued an order. Because Empress Dowager Li disappeared, the whole city searched.

Of course the purpose is not Empress Dowager Li.

But Zhu Yiliu.

He looked for Empress Dowager Li openly and looked for Zhu Yili in secret - this was exactly the idea that Zhang Jing had just come up with. Only this idea made Emperor Wanli calm down.

Originally, Emperor Wanli wanted to search Zhu Yiliu's whereabouts in the city, but could not find a good excuse. Now, Empress Dowager Li disappeared. It just so happened that the drunken man was not drinking to take this opportunity to search in the city.

Empress Dowager Li disappeared, that was a big deal.

For a time, the Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Wucheng Military Command were dispatched. Beijing City was immediately in a tense atmosphere, with officers, soldiers and yamen runners searching and patrolling everywhere, day and night.

Zhu Yiliu took Li Zhiyi to hide in Yikun Palace. Although no one told him the reason for the matter, he could guess it was almost the same.
