"Oh?" Emperor Youning looked at Concubine Shu with interest.
"The King of the Northwest has always loved the Crown Princess. If he knew that the Crown Princess was in danger, how could he remain indifferent? He would definitely show up on his own initiative." Concubine Shu's eyes turned.
Emperor Youning looked at her deeply and said, "My beloved concubine, what you said is very wonderful."
Shen Xihe and Zhenzhu have already returned to the East Palace for this matter. Xiao Huayong went to handle government affairs with the ministers. This dynasty does not have court meetings every day. When there are no court meetings, many matters of the ministers are assigned to the prince by the emperor, and they will handle government affairs with the prince.
Shen Xihe deliberately took advantage of the fact that Xiao Huayong could not accompany him to go to Emperor Youning to ask for permission, in order to prevent Emperor Youning from having any further thoughts when Xiao Huayong was not around.
"Crown Princess, will His Majesty agree?" Zhenzhu couldn't figure out Emperor Youning's attitude.
"Yes." Shen Xihe said firmly, "This is a great opportunity."
Use her to test Xiao Huayong's depth, and use her to test whether my father is really missing or just faking it.
Pearl's face turned grim: "Crown Princess, I'm afraid His Majesty won't do this easily."
If this matter cannot be cleaned up, it will directly force the King of the Northwest to rebel. How horrifying would it be if the emperor sent someone to assassinate the Crown Princess
"Your Majesty has a Concubine Shu by his side who hates me to the core." Shen Xihe smiled profoundly.
Why did the former Princess Yaoxi, today's Concubine Shu, have to suffer so much before entering the palace? It was to make the hostile relationship between them deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"Crown Princess, the Second Lady is here again." As soon as Shen Xihe stepped into her bedroom, Biyu came to report.
After hearing the news from Shen Yueshan, Shen Yingluo had come to ask for a meeting several times, but was rejected by Shen Xihe. She had been pretending to be ill for some time: "Go and bring her over."
She has already gone to see His Majesty today, and it would be unreasonable for her not to see Shen Yingruo.
However, it would be useless for Shen Yingruo to see it, as Shen Xihe would naturally not tell her about these things.
"Greetings, Crown Princess." Shen Yingruo bowed hastily. There was darkness under her eyes. Although she looked refreshed with makeup, one could still see fatigue and anxiety in her eyes.
"No need to be polite, just sit down." Shen Xihe sat on one side and pointed to a seat.
Shen Yingruo sat over and asked hurriedly, "Sister, is there any information about father's whereabouts?"
"I still don't know where my father is." Shen Xihe did not lie to Shen Yingruo, she really didn't know where Shen Yueshan was.
Shen Xihe had no idea where Xiao Huayong had arranged Shen Yueshan, what he was doing now, or whether he was just waiting for her somewhere. She didn't want to ask too much. She trusted Xiao Huayong and Shen Yueshan.
Xiao Huayong would not deceive her, and even if Xiao Huayong really deceived her, Shen Yueshan would not be easily fooled.
“Father, he…” Shen Yingruo’s eyes instantly turned red.
Shen Xihe glanced at her and said, "Dad will be fine. I will go find him soon."
"Sister, are you going to find father?" Shen Yingruo was stunned, and then a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.
Shen Xihe's face was slightly cold: "I won't take you with me."
This time, she was going to fight the emperor. She was taking risks, so how could she take Shen Yingruo with her? Wouldn't she have to worry about Shen Yingruo's safety
"You just wait in Kyoto. I will let my guards who stay in Shen Mansion keep an eye on you. If you dare to escape from the capital secretly and follow me, I will order them to break your legs." Shen Xihe warned.
