Chapter 407: Send someone to find the second emperor
At dusk, in the palace, Huang Chenling made an appointment with Huang Fanyi to have dinner together.
"Your Majesty, why are you so cheerful that you invited me to have dinner with you?" Huang Fan'er politely poured a glass of wine for Huang Chenling himself and asked.
"In the palace, there are only two of us brothers now. You and I are alone. You don't need to call me Holy Lord. Call me the second emperor brother." Huang Chenling said.
"Brother Second Emperor, I might as well ask directly, is there anything you need my help with?" Huang Fan'er said with a smile.
"Why did you think that I would ask you for help, so I invited you to have dinner with me?" Huang Chenling took a drink and asked jokingly.
"Isn't it?" Huang Fan'er took a sip from his wine glass.
"What do you think you can do to help me?" Huang Chenling asked in a nonchalant manner.
"After the Second Emperor's Uncle was assassinated, his whereabouts are unknown. Brother Emperor, do you want me to find the whereabouts of the Second Emperor's Uncle?" Huang Fan'er speculated.
"The answer is half right. I want you to investigate the purpose of that group of assassins while you are looking for the Second Emperor's Uncle. You had some dealings with the Second Emperor's Uncle's group before. If there wasn't a traitor among his group, his
How could his whereabouts be exposed? How could he be ambushed so easily? If found, you should find a way to get closer and find out who is the master behind it." Huang Chenling slowly told him the plan.
After hearing this, Huang Fan'er frowned and said evasively: "Is it so dangerous? I'm afraid I'll die before I find out. In addition, I'm weak and wheezing, so I can't stand the exertion."
"When did you become so afraid of death? Wasn't it very insidious and despicable to go against me before?" Huang Chenling said with a chuckle.
"How can I be sinister and despicable? Besides, being sinister and despicable doesn't mean I'm not afraid of death. It's rare to regain my status as a prince, so of course I can enjoy the moment. The grudges I had with my father have been resolved, and I don't want to do anything risky." Huang Fanyi.
He shook his head and said.
"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you." Huang Chenling said with a sigh.
A steward came and reported to Huang Chenling: "See Your Majesty. The maid who is close to the Queen said that the Queen is preparing to leave the palace in disguise and go to find the whereabouts of the Second Emperor herself."
"Wilful! We can't let her leave the palace no matter what. You go tell the imperial guard over there to keep the guard tighter." Huang Chenling said angrily.
"Yes. I will take care of it now." The head chamberlain nodded and left.
"The emperor's sister-in-law has such a bad temper that I'm afraid I won't be able to contain her," Huang Fan'er said.
"I have to lock her up even if I can't. There are enough things going on. Should I let her go out and run wild? What if the enemy captures her?" Huang Chenling said.
Huang Fan'er thought for a while and said, "It might be safer if the emperor's sister-in-law and I go out in disguise and have someone to take care of us."
Huang Chenling thought his suggestion was very good, but why did he change his mind so quickly and agree? Is it really as simple as being cared for?
"When you say safer, do you feel safer, or do you want the queen to feel safer?"
"I just think it's better to let the emperor's sister-in-law go out and relax when she's making noise in the palace. Sometimes it takes chance to find someone. I feel that looking for someone rashly is no different from finding a needle in a haystack, but bringing someone with a chance to follow me
If I go up there, maybe I won't have to look for it so hard. Besides, if I look for it alone, it would arouse people's suspicion." Huang Fan'er explained.
"Okay, you take her out in disguise." Huang Chenling thought he was reasonable, so she agreed without thinking too much.
After dinner, Huang Chenling went back to the imperial study to continue reviewing the memorials.
Huang Fan'er took the osmanthus wine and took a detour to the queen's palace. He asked the maid to help bring the wine inside while he stood outside the door.
"Queen, the Eleventh Prince just brought osmanthus wine." The maid brought the wine to Wang Xiulin.
"Osmanthus wine? Where are the others?" Wang Xiulin looked at the wine in the maid's hand and asked.
"The Eleventh Prince should still be standing outside the gate," the palace maid said.
"Go and ask him to come in." Wang Xiulin ordered.
"Yes." So, the palace maid went out to find Huang Fan.
Soon, the palace maid came back again and reported: "Reporting to the queen, the eleventh prince said it was too late and it was inconvenient for him to go in. He has left now."
After Wang Xiulin heard this, he was particularly unhappy and said: "You can't handle even a small thing well. If I ask you to ask him to come in, you must force him to come in! You deserve to be a slave for the rest of your life!"
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise her head.
Wang Xiulin snorted boredly and said, "Get up and help me pack the things on the bed. If your Majesty comes back, tell me that I went to take a bath." After saying that, he picked up the osmanthus wine and walked out.
Huang Fanbo strolled along the long corridor. After walking a few steps, he stopped to admire the moon and cool off in the night breeze.
"What do you mean by asking the palace maid to bring you sweet-scented osmanthus wine that I don't like to drink? After staying in the palace for a long time, do you just do such noisy things?" Wang Xiulin caught up with him and said angrily.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? If you don't like the wine, just ask the palace maid to bring it back. There's no need to trouble you," Huang Fan'er said.
"I'm here to train you." Wang Xiulin said angrily.
Huang Fan'er clearly knew that she was in a bad mood, but he deliberately made her angry in order to lure her out to meet him.
"So the training is over?"
"You have a beautiful idea! Here you go, drink it yourself." Wang Xiulin handed the osmanthus wine back to him.
"I don't like drinking osmanthus wine either. That's why I gave it away." Huang Fan'er said deliberately.
"Who cares whether you like it or not, now as the Queen, I order you to drink it." Wang Xiulin regarded him as the object of his venting and rudely teased him.
"If I drink it, I'm afraid I'll have a stridor attack. Then I'll ask the Queen's Wife to ask someone to rescue me." Huang Fan'er continued to lie, and pretended to open the spout of the pot and prepare to drink it.
Before he could lift it up, Wang Xiulin had already held him down with one hand, stopping him.
Wang Xiulin said awkwardly: "Forget it. Stop drinking this wine. You can take a walk with me."
"Okay." Huang Fan's goal was achieved.
The two of them walked slowly, one behind the other, to the pavilion in the center of the large lake in the Royal Garden.
Wang Xiulin turned around and saw that he was still holding the osmanthus wine that had been opened.
"Why are you still holding it?"
"If you don't hold it, why should you just throw it away? Isn't it such a waste?"
Huang Fan'er placed the wine bottle on the stone table.
"You are quite precious about things." Wang Xiulin said, his tone softening a bit.
"I was under house arrest in the abandoned city before. When there was no wine to drink at that time, I still had to make my own wine to drink. Maybe I cultivated it at that time." Huang Fan'er said with a chuckle.
Wang Xiulin walked over, sat down, picked up the osmanthus wine, and drank it in big gulps.
Huang Fan'er didn't stop her and watched quietly as she drank wine alone.
"Hiccup!" Wang Xiulin finished drinking and let out a big burp.
"I'll tell you, I used to like to drink osmanthus wine. The fragrance in the wine is my favorite thing."
"Yeah." Huang Fan'er pretended not to care and listened.
"However, everything has changed since I followed Brother Chenling. He hates drinking osmanthus wine and also hates osmanthus cake, because these are the things he likes." Wang Xiulin said, putting the wine bottle into the bottle
Smash the stone table a few times.
"Be careful, don't hit it so hard, it may break." Huang Fan'er padded the bottom of the pot with his hand.
"What he likes, I just hate." Wang Xiulin said simply. She actually wanted to say that he liked Yan Ruocheng, but she hated Yan Ruocheng.
Huang Fan'er didn't understand what she said. According to what she said, it's no wonder that the second emperor brother doesn't like to be around her anymore.
"Sister-in-law, you are too domineering. The second emperor brother will not like this."
"You said that I am overbearing!" Wang Xiulin angrily picked up the wine bottle and hit the back of his hand several times.
Huang Fan'er retracted his hand in pain and said, "Isn't it true? The second emperor spent the night in the imperial study room again tonight. Do you think he really wants to approve the memorial?"
"I also know that he is hiding." Wang Xiulin said calmly.
"It seems that you have a lot of problems between you." Huang Fan'er held his cheek and said.
"I am not in the mood to worry about the problems between me and him now. I plan to leave the palace to find my adoptive father." Wang Xiulin lay on the table and said gloomily.
"You don't need my help, the Second Emperor Brother has approved that I and the Emperor's Wife will go out to find the Second Emperor together," Huang Fan'er said.
"He is not ungrateful and is willing to let me out." Wang Xiulin said with a flat mouth.
"Actually, the Second Emperor Brother is just protecting you and not letting you go out. There are many killers outside. It will be very dangerous for us to go out this time." Huang Fan'er put in good words for Huang Chenling.
"No matter how dangerous it is, we must find our foster father." Wang Xiulin looked at the moon and said.
At this time, Huang Guiyuan slowly woke up after being in a coma for five days.
Yun Xi held her cheek and dozed next to his bed.
He raised his sore arm and reached out to push her head.
"Huh?" She opened her eyes drowsily in sleep.
"What is this place?" Huang Guiyuan asked.
Yun Xi only opened his eyes a little and then went back to sleep. He didn't listen to what he said at all.
Huang Guiyuan gritted his teeth helplessly and wanted to reach out to push her awake again, but seeing her tired face, his hand instead gently stroked her hair.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Yun Xi woke up with a sore back from sleep.
When she woke up, she found a quilt covering her body.
She picked up the quilt in confusion and looked at the person on the bed.
Huang Guiyuan was still asleep, but the quilt was covering her body. He lay down on his back and fell asleep.
Yun Xi thought he had slept in a daze, so he snatched his quilt to cover him. He didn't know if he had a cold or not.
She reached out to touch his forehead and found that his body temperature was normal.
"Are you awake?" Huang Guiyuan suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"When did you wake up?" she asked.
"I woke up last night. I saw you were too tired, so I didn't wake you up. Don't blame me, I just let you lie down on the bed and sleep all night." Huang Guiyuan said jokingly.
"If you know how to joke, it means your injury doesn't matter. I didn't lie down all night, I stayed up for five nights."
