"Greetings, Young Master. I'm Ling Yu's sister-in-law." The Xiaowan stepped forward, "May I ask Young Noble if you have seen Ling Qian before? Do you know where he went?"

That day, I met him on the road. He said that he had matters to attend to at home and that he wanted to return home immediately. He asked me to go to school and take a leave. Bi Zhenye answered them nicely, of course he was smart, and asked, "Did he not go home?"

Xiaowan nodded her head: "A friend that I'm familiar with sent a letter saying that he has returned home, but we waited for a long time and still haven't seen him back. We then found all the way to the capital, but there wasn't even a shadow of him."

Bi Zhenye saw that the young lady's complexion was pale white, although his tone and actions were polite and appropriate, but he did not use any refined words, he spoke clearly and smoothly.

He knew that Ling Xiang's elder brother was called Ling Chaofeng and was the shopkeeper for Li Prefecture and Ling Xiao Inn. He even knew about the person who cooked in the inn and that his elder brother had married a village girl two years ago.

Lian Yi said politely: "If Young Noble meets Ling Yu, please tell him that the family is extremely anxious. We are currently staying at the inn where he stayed at, and will not be leaving for the next four to five days. If Young Master has any news, please give us some time at the inn to let us know, we will definitely be extremely grateful. "

Bi Zhenye felt that this lady, could it be that he was from a noble family, or was the daughter of a rich family? However, in the inn that he knew of, there was no such person. That inn was truly miraculous. Just how many stories had happened in the end?

The people from the Bi’s Mansion saw that the young master was talking to a stranger, so they came over to ask him what was going on. Afraid that the young master would be entangled by some bad person, Bi Zhenye shouted at them to retreat, and then said to Xiaowan in a kind tone, "Ling Qian and I are classmates, so we naturally cannot ignore his matters. If there is any news, you will definitely come to the inn to inform me. If it is inconvenient for my wife in the capital, please do not be polite. You can find me here. "

"Many thanks, Young Master." Both Xiaowan and Lian Yi were very grateful, even though they did not know who this person was.

Bi Zhenye left the academy, thinking about what had happened to Ling. When he reached his home, even his sister was waiting for him in front of the door, he did not care.

"Brother, are you possessed?" Hanxi walked up and flashed in front of him, "You can't see me?"

"Damned girl, can't you remember me well?" Bi Zhenye replied, "If you speak such nonsense, Grandma will blame you again."

"Yes, you are a gem, you are a gem, you can't even say that you are bad, but for me, my skin is very solid, if I don't play a few rounds I won't be honest." Hanxi refused to admit defeat, and said: "Grandmother is biased."

Bi Zhenye laughed: "Grandmother does not blame you so much recently, and I do not need to threaten you with family rules anymore."

Hanxi said complacently: "Of course, now I have a secret with Grandma."

As soon as she said it, she covered her mouth.

Bi Zhenye glanced at her: "What secret?"

Hanxi waved her hands nonstop: "I didn't say anything, I don't know anything."

Bi Zhenye sighed lightly. Seeing that his family was looking for him, the Old Master was waiting for him in the study room.

In the eyes of his family, the young master was afraid of the old master, but Bi Zhenye was not afraid of his father, he was just helpless against him.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to stand up straight in front of his father. In the last exam, he only had eleven candidates, and even he felt that he had lost all his face, so how could he dare to be impudent in front of his father?

"Father." Bi Zhenye stood respectfully in the study room.

"Come closer." Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi looked at his son for a while, then said, "After changing my clothes, follow me to the General's Estate. The General Wei has done meritorious deeds for the king, the emperor has given him royal wine, he wants the ministers to go to congratulate him."

"Yes." Bi Zhenye agreed.

"One more thing." Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi said, "I want you to propose for Hanxi."

Bi Zhenye was startled, he looked at his father: "Who are you proposing to?"

"Idiot." The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was furious, "I don't know what to do."

"To Wei Tengfei?" Bi Zhenye unconsciously read out the name, but upon thinking about it, he said hurriedly, "Father, Wei Tengfei is already 32 years old, he is only 17 years old."

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi frowned, "So what? If the original owner of the house died, and the young successor entered the door, not to mention being fifteen years old, he would be more than fifty years old."

"Since we are separated by a thousand miles from each other by the Chuanyu, Grandmother will definitely not agree to marry." Bi Zhenye still wanted to fight for his sister.

"Shut up." "As long as you ask General Wei at today's gathering that you want to marry your sister off to him, you don't need to care about anything else. I want you to be like a man. Be more decisive in the face of the situation. Don't be shy and make my teeth itch. "

Bi Zhenye didn't hesitate at all as he looked his father squarely in the eye, "If you want Grandmother and Hanxi to be involved in the major matter of Hanxi's life, if you want Hanxi to be willing, even if Hanxi does not nod his head, I will definitely not say a word or agree to it. Even if father wants to tie her up and marry her, I will also go and snatch my little sister back."

The Prime Minister was enraged and rushed forward to slap his son, but his useless son stared at him fearlessly. The father and son duo fought with their swords crossed, while the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi lowered his hand.

He said heavily, "You don't have to come out on this matter, but you have to do your best for me and mind your own business. Without realizing it, he has already washed the old cards in the imperial court. Whenever my black gauze hat cannot protect my life, you will no longer be the Young Master of Prime Minister's Estate, and even you do not have the qualifications to pass the examinations to become famous. Your grandmother, your mother, and your sister will all be out in the open. Accompanying a monarch like a tiger, Bi Zhenye, you are still very young. "

The young man pursed his lips, unable to refute his father's words. However, he still choked out a sentence, "Father, if you want the marriage to consolidate your status, let me do it. I'm willing to marry anyone from the Duke's Mansion. Father, don't force Hanxi. She's not sensible, she won't understand, she … "

"Get out." Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi turned around after he finished speaking.

Bi Zhenye took a few steps before turning around, and said: "Ling Fei is missing, does father know?"

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi did not speak.

"Father, his family …"

"Scram!"

When the servants outside saw their young master dejectedly walking out of the study, they guessed that his young master must have been scolded by the old master again. The servants then passed on these words to the inner courtyard.

Old Madem sighed, "Does he want the Bi Family to be extinct? This little one didn't want it, the big one didn't hurt, and he wasn't willing to have a few more concubines with him. I can only blame myself for having such a disgraceful son, who has always lived up to his expectations and deserves his retribution. "

When Old Madem was saying these words, he happened to be carrying some tea, and standing outside the bedroom, he heard everything clearly.

That's right, more than ten years had passed. In the eyes of her mother-in-law, she was still a concubine after all. So what if she came from the house of the Marquis?

At that time, when her husband wanted to fix her, Old Madem was also extremely unwilling. She said that there was no rule for me to do so and that a concubine is my concubine.

Mrs. Bi handed the tea leaves to the servants and left.

It was already dusk, but the capital was still bustling with activity.

On the way back to the inn, Xiaowan bought a big meat bag for his son to eat. Holding his son's hand, they walked into the shop.

A noblewoman was sitting at the Eight Immortals Table. When she saw them, she hurriedly stood up.

"Xiaowan, you're here …" Once Siyan opened her mouth, tears came out.

The person in front of him was wearing a simple azure robe with an azure belt. His black hair was tied up in a silver hairpin. His pale face and eyes were calm, and his body exuded a cold aura.

The young lady who had hastily wrapped up the green bean cake in a handkerchief and handed it to her and gently invited her to eat it on the road before him, was the person who made people feel warmth and vitality at first glance really the person in front of them?

"Empress." remembered that this person had also appeared in the Palace at the time. Thinking back to it now, could it be that he was the current Empress? She knelt down with him.

Siyan hurried forward and helped Xiaowan up. She choked: "Why are you kneeling down? Xiaowan, what do you want me to do …"

Her gaze landed on the chubby little fellow beside her. As he was eating a big meat bun, his mouth was filled with oil. Suddenly, he smiled at her.

This smile looked extremely similar to the Xiaowan, but Siyan heard her brother say that this was a child that the Xiaowan and the Manager Ling had adopted.

Not long after, the Xiaowan and the Queen went to the guest rooms upstairs, Lian Yi hugged Little Pei, and waited downstairs with the Uncle Biao. The Uncle Biao sighed: "Miss Meng, I said something that's inappropriate, but I'm afraid the current emperor knows where Ershan is.

"What does that mean?" Lian Yi asked, "You mean..."

"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's hard to say." Uncle Biao felt in his pockets, wanting to smoke a cigarette. Seeing that the imperial guards and the eunuch from the Palace Maid stood in the room, he decided to give up.

Upstairs, the two sisters had just reunited after a long separation. They should have been hugging each other as they spoke of their happiness while laughing and crying. But now, they were in such a miserable state.

"The little princess must be very cute, but it's a pity that I didn't get the chance to meet his." The Xiaowan said, "After we find Ershan, we will need to return to the Baisha Town."

The Xiaowan obviously didn't want to talk about those things. She briefly explained the reason why they came to the capital, her gaze always downcast. She was clearly sitting opposite of the Empress, yet they were separated by thousands of miles.

Actually, she had always understood that as a country girl, how could she be qualified to be the empress's friend? That part of fate came and went as quickly as it came, but it was only to hide a precious memory in her heart.

One had to know that they were separated by thousands of li, separated by clouds and mud. It was difficult for them to meet again, so why would they talk about friends and sisters?

But Siyan had never thought of her like this. She treated the Xiaowan as her true friend and sister, and looked forward to every time they meet in the future. She hoped that she would live a good life, be happy for her, be sad for her.

"I only know that you were bullied by the villagers. Manager Ling's Baisha Town burned in anger, and many people died and were injured. The empress sobbed softly, his voice choked with sobs. "But I don't know what happened to Manager Ling. I only heard about it from my brother today, I …"

"Empress, don't cry." Xiaowan looked at Siyan and sobbed, not knowing what to do. She, who had lost her husband, was still calm.

"These days, I always feel sad for no reason, and tears would unknowingly fall from my eyes." After Siyan calmed down, she said with a wry smile, "I thought that you had become pretentious, but I didn't expect that it was real. Because you were sad, so I was sad as well."

Xiaowan shook her head. "Empress, I am not worthy."

"They won't tell me what happened. My brother only told me what he saw." Siyan held onto Xiaowan's hand, and lightly trembled, "But I'm not stupid, I understand … But, one of them is my brother while the other is my husband. Xiaowan, I don't have the face to come and see you. "

"Empress, no, this has nothing to do with you. It … it is the life of my husband and I." "I don't want to blame anyone else. I just want people who are still alive to be able to live well. I want to find Ershan and bring him back to life so that he can fulfill his brother's wish."

"Ershan is missing?" Siyan felt that her own life was simply laughable.

This was probably the sorrow of the people of the deep Palace Maid, the Emperor didn't want her to know anything, even if the sky outside collapsed, she wouldn't notice it at all. She was like a canary trapped in Culture Hall, and only needed to chirp happily.

The two of them gradually calmed down. Xiaowan had said something, and Siyan had also said what she knew.

"It's not a good idea for you guys to go door-to-door like that." Siyan said, "Big brother is willing to help, he …"

The empress paused, her heart tangled with pain. She was certain that her brother would never chase after the Manager Ling, but was he supposed to push everything onto the Emperor just to get rid of his brother?

That was his husband, the ruler of Daqi. The helplessness on his shoulder was something that many people could understand, and Siyan did not understand as well. However, she had to stand by her side and share the burden with him.

"I will definitely help you find Ershan." The empress held onto Xiaowan's hand tightly. "Xiaowan, trust me."

"Empress …" I really want to go back to that Mid-Autumn Festival. I really want to … " Xiaowan cried as her whole body trembled. Siyan held her in her arms and accompanied her to the point where she was about to cry.

This was the capital, so not only could Ling Chaofeng feel the sorrow and joy from the Xiaowan, he could also hear what she was saying.

If he could, he hoped that Xiaowan would always be that reckless and impulsive young lady. No matter what she did wrong, he would take care of it, and even if she were to poke a hole in the sky, he would make up for it.

He didn't want the Xiaowan to grow, he didn't want her to suffer.

Ling Chaofeng flew out, and just as he was about to make a move to capture the demon, a voice came from the sky, "Chaofeng, do not take action.
