The court soon decided the candidate for the chief and deputy envoy. When the Chinese New Year finally passed, they were sent to the road. The matter was finally settled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Empress Wei always had no particular happiness when she saw the Empress Dowager. Finally one day, she couldn't help but whisper her doubts: "Why are the old lady so worried? Since the court has sent an envoy, as long as the conditions are right, the other party will definitely release Tingchuan back."

It would be good to be able to save your life. The so-called future and status should be kept for the future.

Who can take care of this?

The empress dowager smiled bitterly, took the ginseng soup handed over by Weng Gu and took a sip. Recently, her health has become worse and worse. Zhu Yuan tried his best to use medicinal food to recuperate her, which was just to make her feel more comfortable. She knew that her body could not support her.

She was not too sad. She had been in power for so many years and had already taken a lot of things lightly. People would die. In addition, she had saved her life last year, and it was not easy for her to survive until now.

But because of this, the empress dowager was even more nervous. She coughed for a while, and finally suppressed the bloody smell in her throat and said lightly: "It has been delayed for more than half a year, and no news has been sent back. Previously, the Ola Grand Master was constantly provoking and clamoring, but in the past six months, there has been no news. No one knows whether Tingchuan is now alive or dead. Maybe the mission will only go there for an empty trip."

The hall suddenly fell silent. Queen Wei closed her eyes and shook her head flatly: "No, Tingchuan is not such a lucky child..."

The longer the life passes, the more Queen Wei can appreciate the benefits of Chu Tingchuan.

If someone else is to be the crown prince? The Seventh Prince was depressed and always felt that Concubine Qin's death had something to do with her. She would never treat her kindly in the future. The Ninth Prince?

The ninth prince has his own mother and has never been close to her since she was a child.

She was the group of people who most desperately hoped that Chu Tingchuan would come back safely. After hearing the empress dowager say this, she denied it, and then said tremblingly: "No news may be good news."

The Queen Mother sighed.

When Emperor Jiaping arrived in Empress Wei's harem in the evening, he found Empress Wei in a daze.

He rarely saw Queen Wei be so confused, so he asked casually.

Empress Wei came to her senses and hurriedly stood up to salute. She was stopped by Emperor Jiaping, and then hesitated to talk about the Empress Dowager's situation: "I originally thought that although the old lady was physically damaged, she would gradually get better after recuperation, but now she looks..."

Seeing that Emperor Jiaping's face suddenly fell, she pursed her lips and continued, "The old lady knows it in her heart. It's useless to comfort us. Today she also mentioned Tingchuan..."

Speaking of the crown prince, Emperor Jiaping was also a little sad, and sat down and said, "I have been besieged for so long, and the Oirats have retreated."

What?

Queen Wei didn't react for a while.

Did the Oirat retreat?

What's the meaning?

The Oirats had besieged Xuanfu, forcing General Yang to almost die in the city. Later, they resisted stubbornly and dragged reinforcements to arrive. However, the Oirats had no intention of retreating. They just stationed outside the city. The surrounding villages and small towns were robbed by them. Later, they even threatened General Yang to open the city gate with the people.

It is precisely because of this that the court’s controversy over this matter has become rampant.

But now the emperor said, have the Oirat retreated?

What's going on? Queen Wei immediately realized something was wrong and asked in a low voice: "The Lord means, is Tingchuan..."

When she thought of a possibility, she suddenly felt creepy and even had goose bumps.

If the Ola people really killed Chu Tingchuan, then it would be too late!

But if this is the case, why do you still have to let the delegation travel?

She suddenly looked up at Emperor Jiaping, and her heart was turbulent for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Emperor Jiaping also saw that she was worried about Chu Tingchuan. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "The news of losing Tingchuan has been too long. Even Wei Minzhai has not sent the news back. I have to make any preparations. As for the mission, let them go, we will naturally go and see what exactly."

Queen Wei suddenly felt a little exhausted.

Listening to what Emperor Jiaping meant, did he think that Chu Tingchuan's hope of living was slim?

No wonder Emperor Jiaping is a little afraid of going to the Empress Dowager's place recently.

He knew the Queen Mother’s thoughts and also understood how much the Queen Mother valued Chu Tingchuan, so he was even more afraid of facing the Queen Mother, right?

She decided to suppress this matter.

The Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse now. If I tell her directly, I don't know how long the Queen Mother can last.

As for Zhu Yuan, it was even more so. Although Zhu Yuan has always been very steady, Queen Wei knew how good her relationship with Chu Tingchuan was.

When things came to this point, they even received a brief peace.

Princess Jing'an, who loves to provoke troubles outside the palace, died, and public opinion subsided with Zhu Yuan's refutation. Even the ministers who loved to cause troubles were no longer holding on to this matter because the trap of Xuanfu was resolved. The situation in the capital finally stabilized.

A lot of things happened during this period, such as the marriage between Lu Yi and Jin Chang was finally successfully held.

Zhu Yuan also attended the ceremony in person.

This is very respectful for the Lin family and the Zhu family. Green Yi was crying and holding Zhu Yuan's hand, she wanted to say anything, but she couldn't say anything.

Zhu Yuan touched her head, and smiled like when he was a child in Chalin in Qingzhou Prefecture, and said, "Don't cry anymore. Now you have grown up, have your own husband, and will have your own children in the future. This is the greatest reward for me. From now on, you are just you, and I will be happier than anything else when I live your life well."

Speaking of this, even Mrs. Lin couldn't help but be moved.

This Crown Princess is so powerful and proud of her, but she only sees her sincerity. How could a person who can be so attentive to the girl who serves her behaves so hard?

She finally understood why her son always said how arrogant the Crown Princess was, but he always obeyed all the orders of Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan does have this ability and charm, which makes people willing.

She smiled and looked at Zhu Yuan seriously and said, "Don't worry, Empress, I will definitely treat Green Yi as my biological daughter, and I will never let Jin Chang down."
