[under editing]Transmigration : Wake Up as an Annoying Concubine

53 - Empress' location detected

"Maybe it is true that the emperor has been bewitched. If not, why would His Majesty so crazy for that ger? Harming the citizens' lives just for a ger. What a nutcase!"

.....

Those useless officers keep 'discussing' and intended to talk about this matter with the emperor. However, none of them dare to convey it directly to Wu Zhang Wei.

They decided to ask for help from Yu Chenyi.

"My Lord, it seems like some of the officers wanted to ask you to talk with His Majesty about those soldiers. People keep saying that His Majesty wants to attack the country that took away Her Majesty," Yu Chenyi's eunuch reported.

"Does the emperor really knows who kidnapped that ger? If yes, why he didn't take action towards me?" Yu Chenyi pondering.

"My Lord, is it possible that all of that was just an act to lure the perpetrator? If Lord Huo told the truth, I don't think His Majesty still stay calmly in the palace. This is just my opinion. I think, His Majesty is just pretending. Looking at his condition, crazy over the ger, he won't waste any time here anymore." The eunuch tried to resonate and stopping Yu Chenyi from taking unnecessary measures which could expose themselves.

Yu Chenyi hums. After a minute of deep thought, he says, "Alright. Let's not mention this to His Majesty. If those guys want to bring this up during morning court, let them do it. I won't shoot myself in the foot and inviting uninvited troubles." 

The situation inside the palace becomes a little bit gloomy but everything still going on as usual. Except for the disappearance of the emperor during morning court and the prime minister took over the task, there is nothing else change. 

Even though the imperial palace never gives out any statement regarding the empress, it cannot stop the citizen from talking about it. More imperial guards patrolling the capital city day and night and more imperial army has been dispatched outside the city. With some people going in and out of the palace, it won't be long before the news of the empress becomes the talk of the town. 

Some people think the emperor has fallen ill due to grief so he cannot do anything but some others thought the emperor didn't care much about the empress so he has no effort in finding the empress and soon will have someone else wearing the title.

Even Jing Yi is deadly worried about his master. Every day he will ask his soon-to-be husband about their progress in finding the empress. 

"Is there any news regarding Her Majesty?" That's the same question every time Huang Fei Hong returns to their room after done his work for the day. They are practically living together in a chamber prepared by Wu Zhang Wei for both of them. 

When the first thing that came out of his beloved's mouth is about the empress, Huang Fei Hong smiles helplessly. He pulls Jing Yi into a tight embrace and pecks on his forehead. 

"Seems like someone cares about his master much more than his lover. His lover going out early in the morning, training too hard, missed lunch, but that someone never asks about his well-being." Huang Fei Hong says dejectedly. 

He knows Jing Yi cares about his master who is also his benefactor but he cannot help feeling jealous when Jing Yi almost to the point of abandoning him.

"Am I just a general that was ordered to find the empress to you? Do I have no place in your heart?" 

Jing Yi immediately feels regret with his attitude and words. 

Feeling like the person in his arms froze with no response, Huang Fei Hong sighs and loosens the hug. He faintly smiles and strokes Jing Yi's locks. "I'm taking a bath first."
