After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Back in the palace, Liu Yunxiang looked at the time and then walked up to the study. Yan Mu has been very busy these days, so busy that he has no time to go back to Feifeng Palace to have dinner with them.

It was almost evening now, and she wanted to have dinner with him. When I came to the study room, I saw Feng Zheng still waiting outside. After asking him, I found out that there were ministers and Yan Mu discussing matters inside.

"Are you in a hurry?" Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng.

Feng Zheng shook his head, "It's not an urgent matter. Prince Xue of the Marquis of Wuchang followed you and Your Highness to Zhenbei two years ago. He returned to Beijing a year ago, but he did not return to the palace, and there was no news after that. The Marquis of Wuchang has been ill recently. I am afraid that the situation is not good, so His Highness asked me to go to Yuhua County below Shengjing to look for Mr. Xue."

Xue Changfeng is missing?

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "Why did you go to Yuhua County to look for someone?"

"His Aunt Zhou's natal family is from Yuhua County. Your Highness asked me to ask Aunt Zhou if she knows the whereabouts of Mr. Xue. However, Aunt Zhou formed a troupe and said that she was going to sing in the south. I have sung several times and it will take a while before I can come back.”

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "I'm afraid Xue Changfeng will follow Aunt Zhou to the south."

"It's possible, but Aunt Zhou and the others have to travel across several states and counties, and I don't know where to look for them at the moment."

As for Aunt Zhou this week, she has a gentle temper, but she is quick and neat in doing things. Xue Changfeng failed her, so she did not cry or make trouble, took the divorce letter and left Shengjing. Later, Xue Changfeng regretted it and went to apologize over and over again, but she ignored him. Even five years ago, Xue Changfeng said that he was going to look for her for the last time. If she didn't agree, the two would be completely separated, and Aunt Zhou still didn't follow him.

As for the person who talked about breaking up, he still couldn't let go after going around and over. This time he simply resigned from his job and went to coax people.

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, then remembered why Zi Jin had not been seen entering the palace in the past few days, and asked Feng Zheng what was going on.

Feng Zheng scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, "The doctor said she... is pregnant."

Liu Yunxiang's eyes widened, and then he was overjoyed, "That's great! That's great! I was negligent. You have been married for these years, and you have been delayed by running around with us."

"Because it's less than three months, the doctor told her to pay more attention, otherwise she would have no time to stay in the palace to accompany you."

"Don't be careless in the first three months. You give her a message and say it's my wish. She is not allowed to enter the palace during this period, so she can recuperate at home."

"Yes."

When the two of them were talking, they saw two ministers coming out of the study. Liu Yunxiang asked Feng Zheng to go in first and report. When the two ministers saw her, they came down from the corridor to pay her respects.

"Excuse me, both of you." Liu Yunxiang raised his hand.

I thought that these two people would leave after saluting, but they looked at each other, as if they had something to say but found it difficult to say it.

"You two adults, please speak directly if you have anything to say." Liu Yunxiang said.

The two exchanged glances again, and then one of them spoke: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor is ill, and I have come to the palace to visit you."

Liu Yunxiang was silent, and Yan'er ran out of the palace quietly. Yan Mu could only say that he was ill and left him in charge of the court temporarily. Most of the ministers had no objections, but there were always some who thought more.

"The imperial doctor told me that the emperor needs to rest in peace and cultivate himself. I will convey the thoughts of the two ministers to the emperor. Please come back." Liu Yunxiang said calmly.

Say it, Liu Yunxiang was about to leave, but another minister stopped her.

"The emperor needs to rest, and I don't dare to disturb him. It's just a matter of great importance to the country, and we can't take it lightly."

"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yunxiang turned back to look at the minister who spoke.

The minister bowed and saluted, "The emperor is the emperor, and the King of Zhenbei is the king of Zhenbei. There is a king and a minister. Although they are father and son, they should be distinguished in government affairs, otherwise the civil and military officials will not know who they should be loyal to. .”

"You are brave!" Liu Yunxiang shouted angrily.

The two ministers hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have risked my life to remonstrate with you. I also ask the Queen Mother to persuade the King of Zhenbei to allow the Emperor to come to the court and rule personally as soon as possible."

Liu Yunxiang's face was cold, "You two mean that King Zhenbei imprisoned the emperor in order to seek the throne?"

"I don't dare. The two of you have no intention of doing so."

"Oh, I am neither deaf nor stupid. I heard what you said and I understand it." Liu Yunxiang tossed his sleeves angrily, "You also said that they are father and son. Is it possible that I will still compete for my son's position?"

"There are countless such examples."

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips and suddenly realized that they were no longer an ordinary father and son. Although their relationship had not changed, the minister saw that they had changed.

"And as soon as you and King Zhenbei return to the palace, old Prince Shunping will leave the capital."

Liu Yunxiang held his forehead and said, "You two have no need to worry."

"The Queen Mother..."

"If King Zhenbei wants to sit in that seat, it will be much easier than you think. There is really no need to go through such a big circle. I don't expect to convince you, but please wait a moment. The emperor will go to court in a few days. "

After saying that, Liu Yunxiang walked towards the study room.

Yan Mu could have severely punished these two ministers, but he did not. This shows that there are many ministers who have the same idea as them. These two people came to the palace to say these words, which were both a test and a warning. Everyone may not have the same mind.

Liu Yunxiang came to the door, and Feng Zheng came out after reporting. When she entered, Yan Mu was the only one in the room who was reviewing the memorial.

Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw that it was her. Yan Mu looked aggrieved: "It's a thankless job. I'm so unjust."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Do you really take what those two ministers said to your heart?

"Hmph, not only am I relieved, but I also hold a grudge. When the little bastard returns to Beijing and goes to court, I will call these two people in front of me and tear them apart!"

Liu Yunxiang walked over and sat down next to Yan Mu.

"The words of these two ministers have reminded us that a country can only have one monarch, and ministers can only be loyal to one monarch. It's time for you to reduce your influence in the court."

Yan Mu looked a little more serious, "Indeed, this is why I didn't punish those two ministers severely, because they really were thinking about Yan'er and the court."

Speaking of this, Yan Mu thought of something else and smiled mischievously: "Then when Yan'er comes back, we will sneak out of the palace and go sightseeing. How happy it will be."

"Then we have to wait until Yan'er gets a few years older to be able to stand alone."

After dinner in the study room, Yan Mu still had a few memorials to deal with, so Liu Yunxiang went back to Feifeng Palace first. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw the guards hurried over with Han Sifu.

"Sister, Mrs. Guan from the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion cut her wrists. Now she is in critical condition. The Guan family is asking the imperial doctor to save Mrs. Guan."

"Mrs. Guan cut her wrists?" Liu Yunxiang was surprised, "Wait a minute, why didn't the Guan family come to ask for the imperial doctor, but you entered the palace?"

Han Sifu sighed heavily, "Mrs. Guan cut her wrists...in Liu Mansion."

"What!" Liu Yunxiang was shocked.
