Chapter 40 The Death of the Former Emperor Remains in Doubt
An Yi was still a little embarrassed, scratching his head: "Miss Yun, about that... clothes you gave to the prince last time..."
Yun Juan smiled and immediately understood; she had her eye on that cool outfit!
She said it herself: the charm of that leaf-shaped skirt from a certain Parisian brand in the 21st century is simply irresistible!
"Alright! I'll give you something as a gift now that the matter is settled! It's nothing!" Yun Juan had an expression that said, "I know what you mean."
An Yi's face lit up with an ecstatic smile, his heart filled with joy and excitement.
He couldn't wait to complete the task, and with light, swift steps, he left the room quickly.
His steps had a cheerful rhythm, as if each step was full of energy and anticipation.
He hummed a little tune as he walked, feeling extremely happy, and everything seemed to become pleasing to the eye.
He could just imagine the expressions on the faces of his brothers in the palace when they saw him wearing such cool clothes!
His face was definitely full of envy!
After giving the orders, Yun Juan sighed with relief, her body collapsing completely onto the bed as if it had lost its support.
Her eyes gradually closed, a satisfied smile on her lips, as if she could finally put down the burden in her heart and peacefully meet with Morpheus.
At this moment, she was completely immersed in the tranquility that followed her exhaustion.
However, there was one person she could never figure out!
This regent seems to be quite different from the legends!
As for why the other person kept following her, and what their purpose was, she couldn't quite figure it out!
However, one thing is certain: he meant her no harm!
Meanwhile, back at the Prince's mansion, Murong Qian sat in the study, holding the mask in her hand, lost in thought, her mind drifting back to the time when she first met Yun Juan.
Who are you, really? Why can't I control myself and want to get closer to you whenever I get near you?
What is it about you that attracts me with your fragrance?
"Your Highness! The Princess hasn't eaten dinner!" Just then, the steward's anxious knocking interrupted Murong Qian's thoughts. He snapped out of his reverie, frowning as he asked, "What's wrong?"
The steward said with some concern, "The princess seems to be in a bad mood for some reason. She has stayed in her room all day and has not come out. She has not even eaten dinner."
Murong Qian's heart tightened. Could it be that the little girl was unhappy because he hadn't been at the manor to dine with her these past two days?
He stood up, deciding to go and see. He arrived at the princess's room and gently knocked, saying, "Luo'er, may I come in?"
The room was silent, without any response. Murong Qian pushed open the door and saw Tang Luo lying on the bed, her back to the door. He walked to the bedside and sat down, asking softly, "Luo'er, what happened? Why didn't you eat dinner?"
She slowly turned around, her face showing weariness and sorrow. She looked at her father, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back. Murong Qian looked at her with heartache, reached out and stroked her hair, comforting her, "Tell your father if you have any grievances, don't keep them to yourself."
Tang Luo bit her lip, finally unable to hold back her tears. She threw herself into her father's arms, sobbing, "Father, I'm so sad... I saw you leave the palace, and you didn't even take Luo'er with you..."
Murong Qian hugged her tightly, gently patted her back, and whispered, "Luo'er, it's dangerous outside. Only inside the manor is it truly safe!"
Tears streamed down Tang Luo's face as she sobbed, "But...but why can Father go out! I can't..."
Murong Qian was stunned, not expecting Luo'er to suddenly say such a thing.
A complex emotion welled up inside him; he didn't know how to explain why he had been frequently leaving the mansion these past two days.
He gently wiped away Tangluo's tears and said, "Your father went out to find your mother."
Tang Luo nodded, leaning against her father's chest, feeling his warmth and comfort.
"Has Father been found?" Tang Luo blinked her innocent big eyes and asked curiously.
Murong Qian didn't know what to say! She couldn't very well say that they had found them but hadn't brought them home yet, could she?
"Yes! Found her! But we're not sure yet!" Murong Qian wasn't sure if that person was her!
Right now, he just feels that she is very familiar!
However, since Luo'er said she wanted to go out today, I can't keep pretending to be sick!
It seems we need to find something for the emperor to do! Otherwise, it won't be good for him to always be watching me!
Tang Luo nestled in her father's arms, secretly plotting how to sneak out and meet the legendary new mother.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but reveal a sly smile.
After all, for a young princess with a strong sense of curiosity, such a thing is simply an irresistible temptation!
Moreover, she heard from her steward uncle that her father had recently secretly run away to see his new mother!
The emperor had bestowed marriages before, but she had never seen her father so enthusiastic!
But judging from Father's hesitant expression, could it be that he hasn't captured the person yet?
They're completely useless now! We need this beautiful woman to step in! She's worth two of us!
After coaxing Tang Luo, Murong Qian sighed softly and then turned to look out the window.
He knew that as a prince, he couldn't continue to be suppressed for the sake of the people in his household; there were still many things he needed to handle.
So he summoned the guard Qingming and inquired about the recent situation outside the palace.
"Qingming, have the people outside the Prince's mansion left recently?" Murong Qian asked.
Qingming respectfully replied, "Your Highness, everything outside the palace is normal recently, just like before! Those people were sent by the royal family!"
Murong Qian nodded and then asked, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Qingming hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, there has been no progress so far, but I have already sent people to continue the investigation."
Murong Qian frowned and said, "This matter is very important and must be investigated as soon as possible. If there are any new clues, report to me immediately."
Qingming quickly replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"
Murong Qian waved his hand, signaling Qingming to leave. He leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
The Emperor of Tianyuan Kingdom has many secrets! The late Emperor died mysteriously and suddenly passed the throne to the fourth prince, who was not favored and is now the Emperor!
If I hadn't produced the imperial edict that the late emperor had given me as regent a long, long time ago...
In order to silence public opinion, the emperor probably risked having his own power eradicated!
The entire Regent's Palace ceased to exist! It seemed the old emperor had a premonition back then!
That's why the imperial edict in his hands was delivered to him so quickly!
By the time he arrived in Kyoto from the border, the new emperor had already ascended the throne, and there was nothing he could do to stop it!
That's why he produced the late emperor's edict!
