The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Cuihu nodded with relief. This was all she could say. The rest still had to be figured out by Miss Shen herself.

In fact, while she was 100% sure that the emperor liked Miss Shen, it was the first time in all her years in the palace that she saw the emperor so attentive to a woman. Even the imperial concubine and the empress had never received such treatment.

If Baoshun knew Cuihu's thoughts, he would probably sneer at them. The emperor's love and care for Miss Shen are clearly 200%, which is simply outrageous!

Emperor Yong'an quickly rushed back to his bedroom and found that Shen Leyan was not there.

The palace maid at the door replied, "Your Majesty, Aunt Cuihu has taken Miss Shen to the back garden."

Back garden? How come he didn’t see it when he passed by it on his way back?

"How long have they been gone?"

"About half an hour."

Baoshun smiled and stepped forward and said, "Perhaps Miss Shen felt it was novel and wanted to stroll around the back garden, so she took a small path and didn't meet the emperor when he came back."

He thought to himself, what would have happened if we had really met in the back garden just now?

If Miss Shen saw the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine together and got angry with him, he would inevitably be terrified again...

Emperor Yong'an nodded, thinking it made perfect sense.

He thought it would be nice for Shen Leyan to go out for a walk. With Cuihu accompanying her, nothing should happen. He happened to have some things to deal with today, so if he finished them early, he could accompany her out for a walk in the afternoon.

At this moment, he was in his study, diligently processing memorials, completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter...

Here, Shen Leyan was strolling around accompanied by Aunt Cuihu. She seemed nonchalant on the surface, but in fact, her heart was in turmoil.

Emperor Yong'an had been back for so long, and when he found that she was not in the bedroom, he didn't even come to look for her?

Is he really that busy?

Every day, there are concubines waiting for him to come back from court and accompany him?

Originally, Shen Leyan was not so angry. She did not want to doubt these things. After all, Emperor Yong'an was really good to her.

But she couldn't help but think too much in her mind, and there would be images of him being with other women...

As time went by, she fell into her own repeated doubts...

She began to doubt whether she had done something wrong, whether she should have listened to her mother and not gotten involved in this mess...

Aunt Cuihu noticed her change in mood and asked with concern, "What's wrong, young lady?"

Shen Leyan shook her head, suddenly stopped and said, "I want to go back."

"Then let's go back. We've been out for quite some time. The Emperor is probably already waiting for you in his chambers!"

Is he waiting for her to come back?

Shen Leyan did not answer. She tried to calm herself down and followed Aunt Cui towards the bedroom.

But she didn't expect that she would be disappointed again after returning with great expectations...

Looking at the empty bedroom, she suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. How happy she was when she left, how sad she was when she came back.

At this moment she just wanted to go home...

Aunt Cuihu was also a little flustered at the moment. She carefully explained, "The Emperor may be busy with something. Can I ask for Miss?"

"No need, aunt." Shen Leyan forced a smile, "Aunt, can you take me out of the palace? If I don't go back, my father and mother will be worried."

Cuihu felt very distressed when she saw her forcing a smile, and although she felt a little embarrassed, she nodded and agreed.

After all, what Miss Shen said made a lot of sense. She now knew where the emperor had gone and when he would be back. It was impossible for her to just let Miss Shen wait here.

Before Aunt Cuihu took Shen Leyan away, she asked the palace maid to find the emperor, report to him, and then help her pack her things slowly.

At this moment, Emperor Yong'an, who was writing furiously in the imperial study, had no idea that Shen Leyan had left.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Baoshun suddenly ran in with a look of anxiety on his face. Emperor Yong'an was about to blame him for being so reckless, but he didn't expect that after hearing it, he ran out even more anxiously than Baoshun...

"What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

"Miss Shen, she went back..."

"Then why are you so anxious..." Emperor Yong'an thought that Shen Leyan had already returned to the bedroom, and asked with some confusion, but he didn't expect the answer he got made him stunned.

"what?"

"She went home?"

"Where is she?"

"Miss Shen is probably already at the palace gate. Your Majesty, even if you go now, you won't be able to catch up with her..."

Emperor Yong'an chased after him anxiously. It was the first time he had lost his composure like this. He had a bad feeling, as if he would lose something if he was too late...

It would definitely be too late to take the palace road, so he took a shortcut and chased after him with a glimmer of hope.

But when he arrived at the palace gate, he was still too late.

The guards guarding the palace gate knelt on the ground, not knowing what was happening.

The one who had just escorted the young lady out of the palace was none other than Aunt Cuihu, who was by the Emperor's side. Furthermore, the young lady had a token bestowed by the Empress Dowager, so they didn't dare refuse to let her go...

When Bao Shun arrived breathlessly, he knew from the situation that she had definitely not caught up, so he carefully comforted her, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps Miss Shen just had something to do and went back early..."

"Why don't we wait for Aunt Cuihu to come back and ask about the situation first?"

Emperor Yong'an looked into the distance, wondering whether he should ride his horse to catch up...

"That's all, let's go back first."

"When Cuihu comes back, ask her to come see me immediately."

Emperor Yong'an returned to his bedroom with a gloomy face, pacing back and forth, wondering why she left so suddenly.

"What happened when they came back?"

The maid at the door replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I don't know either. It's just that Miss Shen looked a little unhappy when she came back, and suddenly told Aunt Cuihu that she wanted to go home."

"Go check who she's seen in the back garden. Has anyone said anything to her?"

After the palace maid took her leave, he kept pacing in the room, looking at the door from time to time, as if he was expecting something.

Didn't they agree to wait for him to come back? Why did she suddenly want to go home?

At this moment, his heart was filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he should have gone to the back garden to pick her up first... He was just worried that she would get bored waiting, so he wanted her to walk around for a while longer...

Finally, Aunt Cuihu hurried back to the palace, and Emperor Yong'an summoned her to inquire about the situation.

"What happened?"

Cuihu looked at the emperor with a complicated expression, described what happened in the back garden, and told the emperor the scene when Shen Leyan left.

Bao Shun was struck by lightning. The thing he least wanted to happen had actually happened - Miss Shen had really run into the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine...

Seeing the emperor's expression as if he was so angry that he wanted to cut the person into pieces, he began to worry about the future situation and only hoped that these two little ancestors could reconcile as soon as possible.
