Chapter 580 - 580: Find This Person
Emperor Hao muttered to himself for a moment before saying, “Someone used grandfather’s handwriting so that you would believe them. Would you rather believe it than not?”
“There’s no harm in believing it. It might even save our lives.”
“If this is true, wouldn’t that mean this person knows what will happen in the future?”
“If it’s true, then so be it.” The Empress still didn’t open her eyes.
“But if it’s true, then why did I fall unconscious?”
“That’s why you have to be on guard. From today on, you have to remain constant vigilance. Don’t trust anyone, including me.”
“Mother…”
“I refuse to be the one seeing you off in this world!” Suddenly, The Empress opened her eyes and looked straight at her son, the current Emperor.
Emperor Hao had no choice and could only reply, “Yes, Mother.”
For the sake of her eldest son’s life, The Empress couldn’t help but remind him, “We have to be more careful in all aspects. Food, drinks, uses places, especially people. I don’t completely believe the person that wrote this, but perhaps something might happen to you next year.”
“I understand, Mother.”
“That’s good.” The Empress closed her eyes again and continued to pray with her prayer beads. “I have nothing to do, so I’ll personally find the person who wrote this letter to me.”
The person knew so clearly that she was in Heavenly Spirit Temple, that she had changed her name to Yunzi, and that the person knew her father’s handwriting. It was very likely that the person was from the future… She had to find this person.
When Emperor Hao heard his mother say this, he knew that his mother had already made up her mind. He knew that he could not dissuade her, so he said, “You have to be careful outside, Mother. Where do you plan to find this person?”
“That ship came all the way from Xinyuan County to the imperial capital. Although it has stopped at several places along the way and the letter is very likely to have gotten on the ship from those places, they are all from the South. I’ll follow the route that the ship came from and find it all the way from the imperial capital.”
It wasn’t impossible in Jingke’s area, but he felt that the possibility was smaller than in the South.
After all, if he was in the Jingke area, he would have to run to the South to deliver the letter to the ship.
She was more inclined to believe that the person was in the South. In order to make it more difficult for her to find the person, the paper, ink, and envelope were from different stores. Then, the person must have purposefully shipped it from the South.
Of course, they should start searching from the most likely places. Emperor
Hao nodded in agreement before asking, “When do you plan to leave?”
“Tomorrow,” After the Empress finished speaking, she didn’t say anything more. She closed her eyes again and concentrated on the prayer beads. She was even chanting scriptures.
Emperor Hao originally wanted to say something, but seeing that his mother had no intention of speaking again, he stood up and left the table. He was about to continue reviewing the memorials, but immediately after, he called someone in and whispered to that person, “Quickly go to the Feng Palace and tell the Empress that Mother has returned and ask her to quickly come and pay her respects.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The eunuch went to work.
It wasn’t until this person had left that the Empress, who was by the table, cursed without opening her eyes, “Good for you.”
His son actually had to rely on this to see his wife!
“Mother, I chose her myself.” Emperor Hao smiled like a fool.
When there were too many people in the royal family who had no control over their own actions, the art of the Emperor cultivated balance between all parties. In fact, there were many times when he could not really do as he pleased. His Empress was the only one who he followed with his heart, married, and liked very much..
