Chapter 570 - Pleasing Her Majesty (25) (1/2)
This rebellion was a joke. Nothing happened to the people in the palace and the people that rebelled were the ones who ran away pitifully.
Ye Mochen ran away before Prime Minister Zhou arrived. Ning Furong was taken away by Meng Liang and all that was left was a mess to be cleared.
The plague was still spreading. Ming Shu couldn't do anything about it. She was not a royal physician.
Prime Minister Zhou was busy wiping out Ning Furong's power and preventing Ye Mochen from attacking them again. Also, he needed to urge the royal physician to quickly come up with a remedy for the plague.
He was so busy, he was mentally and physically exhausted.
He wanted to go back and farm. He didn't want to be the prime minister anymore. Your Majesty, can we change to someone else!
Of course, based on the current situation, Prime Minister Zhou couldn't just flick his sleeve and resign from his position. Besides angering officials, pampering the royal concubine, and eating snacks, Ming Shu, the empress, never did anything at all.
”Your Majesty…”
Lianxin ran over hurriedly. ”Your Highness, the royal concubine has disappeared.”
Ming Shu swallowed the golden milk crisp in her mouth. ”Disappeared? Did he run away?”
Lianxin felt scared and replied softly, ”The people from Xianyu Palace came to report just now. They say that the royal concubine told them that they didn't need to attend to him last night. When they went to find him this morning, he was gone.”
”That means that he ran away.” He has the guts to run away again.
Ever since Junjue woke up after that day, there was something wrong with his mood. Did he got frightened that day?
It shouldn't be like this…
Isn't that idiot really bold?
Ming Shu looked at Lianxin. ”What are you standing there for? Go and find him. Are you waiting to collect his corpse?”
Lianxin: ”…”
By rights, it was impossible for a weak boy toy like Junjue to get out of the palace. However, he couldn't be found anywhere in the palace grounds.
Ming Shu was not surprised at all. However, Lianxin couldn't keep her composure. How could a human just disappear like this under the noses of so many people?
Since they couldn't find him, Ming Shu could only go and search for him herself.
”Your Majesty, the plague is spreading outside the palace. You can't go out.”
Before Ming Shu could step out of the palace gate, Lianxin and Prime Minister Zhou stopped her.
No matter what, they didn't allow Ming Shu to go out.
In the end, Ming Shu had to order people to tie them up before she managed to leave the palace.
However, where will I go to find Junjue? Ming Shu stood in the street and felt a bit lost.
The street was deserted. There was almost no one in sight. The weather was also really warm and the air was filled with a pungent smell. It made people feel like vomiting.
Ming Shu asked the people that followed her to spread out and communicate through the flare guns if they found him. Then, she continued walking forward aimlessly.
”Give us some food.”
A dirty refugee appeared suddenly. Ming Shu took a few steps back in fear and just managed to dodge the refugee's hands.
”Give some food…” The refugee's eyes were gray and he repeated the words like a robot.
Ming Shu saw the someone poking his head out from the alley behind him.
There was not much food on Ming Shu. She had finished most of the food she brought from the palace.
Are these people trying to steal from me?
Ming Shu felt that there was a possibility. She stepped back… and the next second, she ran away.
”F**k, she is running away!
”Chase her!”
Noises rang out from behind her and a few people came out from the alley. They chased after her with excited expressions on their faces.
Why are they chasing me!
I do not have emergency syrup!
