Quick Wear: The Stunning Beauty is Forbidden to Be Pampered
Chapter 104 World 2: The Cold Emperor and the Spoiled Concubine (51)
Royal study room.
Quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
A black shadow knelt on the ground. At this moment, the shadow's eyes were filled with astonishment and his body swayed, as if he had suffered some huge impact.
Zhou Changling caught this detail, his narrow and long phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart: "What did you think of?"
The low, hoarse voice shocked the dark shadow below like a thunder!
Beads of sweat had already seeped out of the secret guard's forehead. He faced Zhou Changling's gaze, which was as real as a physical one, and after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, I suspect it was... the late emperor."
The previous emperor?
Zhou Changling was shocked. He suspected that someone had colluded with the royal secret guards.
However, there is another possibility that cannot be ruled out.
"Investigate, send someone to the imperial mausoleum to investigate!" Zhou Changling made a prompt decision. Since it could be his good father, he would start with him!
"Yes!" The secret guard left in a hurry after receiving the order, with a trace of panic in his back. After all, if it was really the late emperor, then wouldn't he be resurrected from the dead?
Is there really such a bizarre thing in the world?
In the empty hall, Zhou Changling sat alone in front of the dragon desk, writing with his imperial pen, stopping and starting, connecting all the things together, and things gradually became clear.
Yes, who in the world has the ability to see through all the defenses of the imperial palace.
Is the former old minister, Eunuch Li Mu, involved?
Zhou Changling thought about this and decided to meet this old fox in person, but he couldn't do anything drastic to prevent him from becoming defensive.
Without further ado, let's go and try to see if we can find out Bai Lingxi's whereabouts.
Zhou Changling stood up, wearing a golden five-clawed dragon robe, with an air of supremacy and majesty that made him look down upon the world.
……
As soon as Zhou Changling got on the dragon chariot and walked to the palace road, he saw the wet nurse holding the crying little prince.
"stop!"
Zhou Changling got off the dragon chariot and felt a little distressed when he saw An'er crying non-stop.
"Hold him here and let me see what happened." Zhou Changling was originally in a very depressed mood, but the moment he saw An'er, he felt inexplicably relieved.
This is not surprising. After all, he has been unable to sleep every night since he learned that Bai Lingxi was kidnapped.
Only when the young prince was by his side did his longing ease, because he firmly believed that Xi'er would not abandon them!
"Your Majesty, today the little prince woke up and couldn't see his father. He looked for you so hard that he cried. He refused to drink milk and just waited for you."
"I really have no choice but to hold the little prince in my arms and look at you from afar."
The wet nurse replied carefully. Everyone in the palace was in danger now, fearing that they would displease Zhou Changling. Their own death was secondary, but they were afraid of implicating their families.
"Well, have you consulted the imperial physician?"
Zhou Changling took the little prince into his arms. The little prince, who had been crying just now, was sobbing, but when he broke down, the crying slowly stopped.
He carefully fiddled with the little prince's hands and feet, and gently pressed his forehead against An'er's little hand, feeling his body temperature. Well, it was okay.
"Ah wow - hahaha -" An'er thought that his father was teasing him and laughed.
Laughter was healing and powerful, and it successfully relaxed Zhou Changling's frown.
"My dear An'er~" The little prince has been born for more than a month. As he grows up, he looks more and more like Bai Lingxi. He is fair and tender, delicate and cute.
The nanny answered Zhou Changling's question honestly: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Jing has examined the little prince, and he is fine, but--"
"The little prince may be missing the queen because he hasn't seen her for a long time. At the same time, he is also afraid of not being able to see the emperor, so he always wants to stick to the emperor all the time."
The wet nurse said all of this in one breath. In fact, she said it with great pressure, fearing that she would be beheaded if she was not careful.
However, if the little prince continued to cry for a long time, his eyes and throat would be damaged, and she would be considered dereliction of duty and would die anyway.
Zhou Changling was silent. This silence made the wet nurse feel uneasy. She even felt a little regretful and blamed herself for being so talkative.
Finally, Zhou Changling finished examining the nanny and said calmly: "I understand. You have done a great job. As a reward, I will give you 100 taels of gold."
The nanny was overjoyed. One hundred taels of gold was enough for her family to eat and drink for the rest of their lives.
She suddenly felt dizzy. She had not expected that the emperor attached so much importance to the little prince. She was the little prince's wet nurse, and now the little prince was only one month old, but she could already earn a lifetime of bonuses.
If the little prince grows up and has real power in the future, he might be able to find an official position for his family. Wouldn't that mean he can rise to prominence?
Zhou Changling seemed to see through her complacency and her little thoughts, but he didn't intend to shatter her dreams now. She just needed to take good care of An'er.
"Remember, the little prince is your priority. If you fail to take good care of him, I will sacrifice your entire clan to the gods!"
"Yes." The wet nurse quickly knelt down to express her gratitude and kowtowed profusely. After receiving a look from Zhou Changling, she fell far behind the team.
"Let's go back to Qianling Palace." Zhou Changling held the little prince and sat back on the dragon chariot, carefully holding him in his arms to protect him from the cold wind.
……
Small village.
In the small house on the mountainside, the secret guards acted as servants, some chopped wood, some cooked, and it was full of the flavor of life.
But they tried to move quickly and well, and make almost no noise, because they did not want to disturb their masters, who were a perfect couple sleeping in the room.
The sunlight shines through the window onto them, revealing a sense of tranquility and beauty.
Zhou Jin was the first to wake up. He felt something heavy in his arms and when he looked down he saw Bai Lingxi's peaceful sleeping face.
Suddenly, Zhou Jin's heart was filled with joy.
He was reluctant to leave, so he just held Bai Lingxi quietly, feeling the beauty of the moment.
"Hmm——" Bai Lingxi let out a soft moan, then slowly opened her eyes.
The glass-like eyes were dark, bright and clear, as if they had injected soul into this body, making the whole person come alive.
Zhou Jin's heart trembled slightly. No matter how many times they met, he would be moved by Bai Lingxi, as if it was destined that he could not live without her.
"Zhou Jin?" Bai Lingxi's voice was hoarse and dry, as if she hadn't drunk water for several days, or rather, she had used her voice too much.
Zhou Jin thought of everything that happened last night and his heart began to burn. He got off the bed, took a pot of boiling water from the stove and made tea.
The tea was still boiling hot, just like Zhou Jin's current mood, which was also boiling hot.
"Xi'er, I'll feed you." When the tea was almost dry, Zhou Jin gently stroked Bai Lingxi, half-hugged her and fed her tea.
Seeing her drinking from the teacup in small sips so obediently, Zhou Jin's heart softened.
At this time, Zhou Jin didn't know that Zhou Changling, the unfilial son, had already sent people to dig up his ancestral grave. It wouldn't be long before they would find him and break the peace he had finally obtained.
