The news of the death of the Queen of Lancang Kingdom also spread to other countries, including Ning Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from the Lan Cang Kingdom." The guards beside Ning Yan rushed to him and presented the letter in their hands without even having time to go through the formalities.
During this year, Ning Yan had been asking about An Xin's news. As time went by, his longing for her did not diminish at all, but instead became stronger.
There were several times when he wanted to go directly to Lan Cang Country to find someone, but was finally restrained by reason.
Ning Yan promised to give her time, and that she would definitely come back after she figured it out. During this time, he could only rely on these letters to fill the longing in his heart.
Ning Yan smiled when he heard there was a letter from Lan Cang Kingdom. He quickly took it and opened it, but there was only a short sentence in it: The Queen of Lan Cang Kingdom passed away.
Died of illness?! Ning Yan was deeply shocked when he saw these two words. He was a little unsteady and almost fell to the ground.
The guard quickly supported him and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
“How could this happen? How could this happen…” Ning Yan’s hands were shaking as he held the letter, and he was completely stunned.
Wasn't he fine a while ago? Why did they suddenly say he died of illness? He didn't believe it!
Ning Yan felt that there was still something fishy about this matter and he firmly refused to believe the death mentioned in the letter. The letter was crumpled into a ball in his hands.
"Go and find out for me immediately what happened to Anxin." Ning Yan said this with clenched teeth, completely not knowing how to face the news of her death.
If she really died, what would he do? In an instant, Ning Yan felt that his life had lost all meaning and hope, and he just wanted to follow her and leave.
"Yes." The guard had never seen Ning Yanyan with such an expression, and was shocked and quickly agreed.
…
Two days later.
The people Ning Yan sent to Lan Cang Kingdom to investigate also received accurate information. They even went to the imperial mausoleum to personally confirm the person lying inside. Only when they found that it was an empty coffin did they immediately return to report to Ning Yan.
Ordinary people would easily be fooled by this matter, but he was not stupid and soon discovered that something was wrong.
If Anxin is really dead, what about Mengbao? Now even Mengbao is missing.
"The queen should have left Lan Cang Kingdom, and her current whereabouts are unknown." The guard immediately said to Ning Yan after finding out about this.
Ning Yan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed. It was enough to know that she was still alive. But why did she leave Lancang Country? Did something happen
"Did anything happen to her in Lan Cang Country?" Ning Yan was a little worried.
According to his understanding of An Xin, she either left because she was deeply hurt, or she wanted to leave on her own accord.
Which one was it? Ning Yan had no way of knowing for the time being, but now all he wanted was to be by her side and accompany her, not wanting to experience something like this again.
"Nothing wrong." The guard also replied.
Of course, Xiao Yu completely blocked what happened that night, so no one knew that he and An Xin were actually husband and wife.
Ning Yan was very worried and didn't know what An Xin's next plan was. Now he could no longer stay in Ningguo peacefully.
"Summon Gao Qilin into the palace." Ning Yan quickly made a decision in his mind.
He couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, the next news he received might not be false, so he had to take the initiative, even though she didn't want to see him.
Not long after, Gao Qilin hurried into the palace. Because Ning Yanxuan was anxious, he also came in a hurry.
"Your Majesty." Gao Qilin has always been very good at etiquette.
"No need to be so polite. Today I'm asking you for a favor in the name of a friend." Ning Yan really admired Gao Qilin's talent, so he was willing to support him. The most important thing was that he was a loyal minister.
With a loyal minister by his side, he can feel more at ease and can leave these matters to him.
Gao Qilin knelt down immediately after hearing this, and said in great fear, "Your Majesty's command will certainly lead me to the end, even if it means death."
"I need to leave the palace for a while, and I'll need you to take care of the huge affairs of the court for the time being." Ning Yan no longer cared about the throne, nor did he want it.
If he could find a suitable candidate right away, he might just walk away.
Gao Qilin frowned slightly after hearing this, "Your Majesty, why must Your Majesty do it personally? The country cannot be without a ruler for a day."
"It's a very important matter, more important than the throne." Ning Yan's lips curled up into a bitter smile. If he had realized this earlier, he would not have lost An Xin.
Now he has fully realized that nothing is more important than peace of mind.
Gao Qilin understood what he meant by the important matter and sighed, "Your Majesty, are you going to look for the Queen?"
"Well, I'm worried about her. If I'm not around, she won't be able to take care of herself." Ning Yan admitted it without hesitation.
After waiting for a whole year, he had had enough.
Gao Qilin knew that Ning Yan was extremely persistent when it came to An Xin's affairs, and no matter how much he was persuaded, he couldn't be brought back. At this moment, he didn't know how to persuade him.
Ningguo also needs a monarch like him. How can he, a mere prime minister, take on such a heavy responsibility
"Your Majesty..." Gao Qilin still wanted to persuade him.
"I summoned you here today not to ask you to give me suggestions, but to give me orders." Ning Yan knew what else he was going to say, so he simply stopped him from saying anything.
Gao Qilin was indeed stumped by his words. He knew that he could not interfere with the decision of His Majesty. "I obey your order."
"Don't worry, as long as you find her, I will come back." Ning Yan couldn't bear to put such a heavy burden on him.
After explaining everything, Ning Yan set off for Lan Cang Kingdom.
Now the only person who knows An Xin's whereabouts is Xiao Yu. No matter how much he doesn't want to see Xiao Yu, he must get accurate information from him.
Ning Yan was afraid that if he arrived too late, he would not be able to catch up with An Xin, so he traveled day and night to reach Lan Cang Kingdom, shortening the time by half and changing horses several times on the way.
By the time he arrived at Lan Cang Kingdom, it was already the second day.
The city of Chaoge was quite deserted. A casual inquiry revealed that it was because the queen of Lancang Kingdom had passed away, and the common people had refrained from singing and dancing in order to mourn and pray for her.
An Xin, the Queen of Lan Cang, is quite popular among the people. This incident made Ning Yan a little unhappy. Does she care so much about the people of Lan Cang
