Chapter 408
The high palace walls seemed to separate the Queen Mother and Yingyun in two worlds, and no one could contact each other.The "Dream of Red Mansions" in the capital is flooded, and there are a large number of reprints, and manuscripts can be seen everywhere, and the prices have gradually dropped.

In this way, the Empress Dowager wanted to find the person who copied it, like looking for a needle in a haystack. The book has passed through many people, and there is no way to find the source.

After searching for a few days, there is still no useful news.

The queen mother sighed leisurely: "Perhaps, it is God's will."

Outside the hall, a shrill announcement was suddenly heard: "The emperor is here!"

The Empress Dowager put away the scroll in her hand and sat upright. Seeing the Emperor lift the curtain and come in, she came to pay her respects.

"Greetings to the Lafayette." Ever since the empress disappeared, the emperor's face was hard to see a smile, and his complexion was also sallow.

"Sit down." The Empress Dowager pointed to the side of the heating kang.

"No," the emperor said flatly, "I'm here to ask Lafayette for instructions. I don't want to go to the garden this year. If Lafayette thinks it's stuffy in the palace, I can arrange for you to go to Yuanmingyuan."

The queen mother sighed: "After so long, you are still blaming me, aren't you?"

"My son dare not." The emperor bowed his head respectfully.

"Don't dare?" The queen mother smiled wryly, and said: "It's been a year, if the queen has news, it should have been. How long will the emperor have to wait? The one in Yikun Palace can't be kept secret for long after all. "

The emperor's eyes were lonely, and he said: "I have always felt that the empress is still alive, in a place I don't know. I will guard the Yikun Palace for her, and wait for the empress to come back. The empress... will definitely return to my side."

Seeing his lonely and helpless expression, the Empress Dowager felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and her eyes became moist, and said: "Forget it, I won't go to the garden this year. I will stay with the Emperor and stay in the palace to guard the Yikun Palace. Waiting for the Queen!"

"Lafayette?!" The emperor raised his head and saw that the tears in the corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes were still wet, and asked in surprise, "Lafayette, you are..."

The queen mother smiled slightly, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's nothing, I just read a storybook and was moved by the stories in it." Then, she handed the scroll to the emperor, and said, "This story is written in a very good way." Excellent, the emperor can take a look to relieve boredom when he has time."

"Yes," the emperor took the scroll, bowed, and said, "My son is busy with government affairs. If Lafayette has no other orders, my son will leave first."

"Go." The queen mother waved her hand, which turned into a low sigh.

Aunt Xiangzhi sent the emperor away, cleaned up the uncooled tea, and sighed: "Although the emperor has come here every day this year, he has never sat down to drink tea. When the empress leaves, the emperor seems to be gone." It's like a soul, and the servant feels distressed when he sees it."

The queen mother said with emotion: "Idiot men complain about women, in this world, there is only one love word that hurts people the most."

Sister Xiangzhi said again: "This year's draft, the emperor has not given any instructions for a long time. It's not a problem that the girls from the Eight Banners are all waiting. Perhaps, there are newcomers entering the palace and adding a few good-looking ones. The emperor will be slow." Slowly let it go."

The queen mother wondered, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Sister Xiangzhi said in a low voice: "Lafayette, you promised Wang Sige's daughter to enter the palace, but now there is no news, so they will naturally come to ask."

The queen mother suddenly said: "I really forgot about this matter. The emperor has no intention of drafting. You go to Yanxi Palace and let the imperial concubine do the drafting on your behalf. Since I promised Wang Sige, I can't break my promise to him."

"Yes."
