Chapter 142 The person is missing
There is no direct conflict of interest between the eldest princess and the emperor, so naturally there is no barrier in their relationship.
For some reason, Su He inexplicably thought of the late King Jin, Baili Feng's father.
I wonder how long His Majesty can hold on? And when will Lu Huaihe return home?
Night falls.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Zhaoyang came back dragging his exhausted body. Su He was worried that something might have happened in the palace, so she was drowsy all night and couldn't sleep at all.
"How is His Majesty?"
Su He ordered the kitchen to bring breakfast, hoping to help Zhao Yang get rid of the cold.
"The imperial doctors are giving him acupuncture, but he won't die for a while."
Zhaoyang held the spoon absentmindedly, and she didn't even notice that her hands were shaking. She couldn't hold it several times.
Seeing her lost soul, Su He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Since the emperor is still alive, then the person who could make the princess lose her composure like this...
"Did something happen to Lu Huaihe?"
When she asked this question, Su He hoped to get a negative answer. But when she didn't get Zhao Yangdao's answer at the first time, she had already guessed it.
There was silence in the air for a few seconds.
The most difficult few seconds.
Zhaoyang put down the soup spoon, holding the silk handkerchief in his hand, and was about to speak when he burst into tears, his voice blending with his crying.
"Huai He...his whereabouts have been unknown for half a month!"
Su He subconsciously took a step back, and Pei Xia hurriedly stood behind her to support her, fearing that something might happen.
Missing, missing? No news?
No wonder there was no reply.
Su He asked again: "Who told you the news? Is it reliable?"
Zhaoyang covered her face and cried bitterly: "The emperor told me himself. He wanted to keep it a secret, but he suddenly got sick last night and told it out without any hurry. Huaihe, he is the only thing I miss in this life!"
It is difficult for a woman to be a widow, and it is even more difficult for her to raise a young child alone.
It can be said that Lu Huaihe is Zhaoyang's destiny.
Thinking of where Lu Huaihe is right now, I wonder if he is eating enough? Is he warm? Is he injured?
Su He's eyes were blurry. She turned her back and wiped her eyes. She could only try to calm Zhao Yang down. At least for now, no news was the best news.
Lying on the couch at night, Su He tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She took out a piece of Lu Huaihe's old clothes from the closet and held it in front of her. When she closed her eyes, all she could see was his image.
"Pei Xia, are you outside?"
Pei Xia, who was sleeping in the outer room, immediately got up and lit the lamp, then came closer and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Can't you sleep?"
She sighed slightly.
Su He sat up from the bed, unwilling to let go of the old clothes in his arms for a long time, looking at Pei Xia and instructing calmly: "Tomorrow morning, pack up your things for the long journey. Ask Qingyun to make preparations as well. When it gets dark in the evening, the three of us will leave the city."
Pei Xia hesitated: "Leaving the city? Are you going to look for the adults? But Madam, you are still pregnant, and the road will inevitably be bumpy..."
"How can I have peace without him?" Su He murmured.
When Pei Xia heard this, he felt a little helpless.
"I understand. Madam, you should rest as soon as possible. It will be good for the fetus to feel better. Don't be too sad."
Su He hummed: "I know, you can take a rest."
"I will stay with you, Madam. Please close your eyes first."
"Alright."
It was not until the second half of the night that Su He fell into a drowsy sleep.
I haven't had a good rest in the past two days, and I don't look energetic.
After Pei Xia gave Qingyun the instructions, the two began to pack the things they needed for the journey.
In order to protect the young lady, it is better to keep the luggage simple.
Nanny Tang came in to hear Xueyuan delivering nourishing ginseng soup. When she saw Pei Xia busy packing things, she immediately reacted and reported it to the eldest princess.
"Is this true? They...really want to leave the capital?" Zhaoyang asked.
Nanny Tang was so anxious that she was running around in circles. She wanted to pull the young lady over to her immediately to get to the bottom of things.
I'm pregnant now, how can I travel far?
"Princess, I will call the young mistress and the others over. Please explain to them. They are twins. What if they get bumpy on the road..." At this point, Nanny Tang paused, her face gloomy: "That is our young master's first child. If we still can't find the young master, it is possible that..."
the last one.
Zhaoyang's eyelashes trembled, how could he not know?
How could she not consider Huai He's bloodline?
But when the news of Lu Zhiping's death came, Zhaoyang had only one thought in his mind.
Why wasn't I with him?
If we were together, would the outcome be different?
Thinking of this, Zhaoyang felt as if his heart was bleeding.
As a woman, how could she not understand Su He's thoughts?
"Let her go."
Nanny Tang was shocked: "Princess! The young lady is pregnant!"
Zhao Yang closed her eyes. "If I try to keep her here, she will only come up with more extreme ideas. It's better to let her go. If God has mercy on her, he will let her find my son..."
The incident of moving Master Lu's grave had just happened two days ago, and she was heartbroken for a while. Now came the news that the young master was missing. Nanny Tang knew that the princess was depressed and could not calm down.
Since she doesn't want to persuade the old lady, what ability do I, as a nanny, have to stop her?
Nanny Tang returned to her room, took out a stack of banknotes that she had saved for a long time from under her pillow, and handed it to Pei Xia.
Seeing her doing this, Pei Xia was at a loss: "Madam Tang, what are you doing?"
Nanny Tang glanced at Su He in the room, not daring to speak too loudly. She only pulled Pei Xia aside and whispered, "I know what the young lady wants to do. Once you leave the Princess's Mansion, you will have to make your way out of the dangerous place. You and Qingyun are both very meticulous, so I am naturally relieved. But the young lady is pregnant now... Forget it, let's not talk about other things. I have some money here, all in silver bills, which are easy to store. You can keep it. Don't let the young lady down on the road."
"Madame Tang, I cannot accept it. Young Madam has already made arrangements. We will bring silver and dry food with us."
"Take it. It's a token of my appreciation."
Nanny Tang stubbornly handed it to Pei Xia. The sound startled Su He. She walked out slowly and saw this scene, feeling mixed emotions.
"Pei Xia, take it."
"...Yes, Madam."
Nanny Tang took a few steps forward and came in front of Su He. Suddenly, she bent her knees and knelt down.
"Young Madam! If you can bring the young master back, I will be willing to worship you as my idol. The eldest princess, she can no longer be sad!"
Having taken care of Zhaoyang for most of her life, she was about to retire, but things happened one after another. Nanny Tang was afraid that she would have an accident one day and not be able to wait for the young master to return to Beijing. That would be a real regret!
How could Su He not know?
She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Don't worry, Mammy. I will do my best."
