Amid the laughter of Empress Dowager Zhou, Su Jin left the dormitory with a smile. As soon as she walked out of the door, the smile on her face disappeared. She seemed to be worried, and walked all the way to Mo Chuan's imperial study.
She calculated that the emperor should have just finished his morning court session and should still be in the imperial study at this time.
But when she rushed to the imperial study room, she found that the door was slightly open and there was no one inside.
Not only was Mo Chuan absent, but the eunuch Xiao Xizi who served beside him was also absent.
"Where is the Emperor?"
Sujin's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly asked the imperial guards guarding the imperial study.
"Your Majesty has left the palace early in the morning." The guards replied respectfully.
"Going out of the palace?" Su Jin frowned, "What about Xiao Xizi?"
"Eunuch Xiao Xizi also left the palace with the emperor." the guards replied.
"Just the two of them?" Sujin was surprised.
"Of course not. There are also a hundred imperial guards and five hundred imperial guards."
"What did the emperor do with so many people?"
The guards showed strange expressions: "Aunt Sujin, don't you know? When the Crown Prince and the Third Young Master of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to Beijing today, of course the Emperor went to greet them."
Sujin couldn't help but slap her forehead and secretly shouted that she was really confused!
The emperor promised that the queen mother would come out of the city to greet her in person. How could he not think of it
But she really didn't expect that she originally thought that the emperor would be reluctant. Even if he had to agree for the sake of Queen Mother Zhou, he would delay going out of the city to greet her until the last minute.
But she didn't expect that what Mo Chuan did was beyond her expectation.
He actually led the royal guards out of the city early.
How much do you care about the Prince of Northern Qi and the third princess
Of course Su Jin knew that the emperor was not such a heartless person, otherwise he would not have thought of ways to tease and scare the three princesses.
She suddenly remembered the nightmare she had been having last night, and couldn't help but shivered intelligently.
Your Majesty, isn't he going to assassinate the third princess
As soon as this thought came into her mind, Sujin felt trembling all over.
"Aunt Sujin, are you cold? The Emperor will not be back for a while. If you want to see the Emperor, you should come back another day." The guards said kindly.
Sujin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and walked to Shoukang Palace in a daze.
The further she walked, the more deserted it became, and the sounds of people around her gradually died down.
Where are people? Isn't it because they all went out to welcome the third princess of Northern Qi to leave the palace
Su Jin secretly wondered, and when she looked up, she found that it was not that there was no one in the palace, but that she was in a trance and had taken the wrong path.
It was obviously the direction leading to Shoukang Palace, but she walked into a remote alley without knowing it.
In front of the alley is the end, where stands a dilapidated palace.
Ah, Leng Gong!
Sujin thought to herself how could she end up in the cold palace? Really confused.
She remembered that Queen Mother Zhou was still waiting for her reply in Shoukang Palace, so she turned around and walked towards Shoukang Palace.
But after walking a few steps, a cold wind suddenly blew from behind her, which only caused a dense layer of small bumps to form on the skin on the back of her neck.
It was as if someone was blowing cold air on the back of her neck.
"who is it!"
She suddenly turned around, only to see that there was nothing behind her. There was no one at all. Only the two dilapidated palace doors of the Leng Palace not far away were blown open by the wind and were shaking slightly.
A chill ran through Sujin's heart, her teeth clattered twice, she turned around and ran towards Shoukang Palace.
