Chapter 186 - 184. Investigation (1/2)
Third-person POV Another peaceful day, Hong er sat in her library with a
doc.u.ment in her hand. Then she remembered Di Shang's promise of marrying Meiyun
that he made 7 months ago. She glanced at Meiyun who was brewing a new set of
tea for her. Hong er: ”Meiyun.” Meiyun: ”Yes, Your Majesty Empress.” Hong er: ”Are you still in contact with General Di?” Meiyun: ”Yes, we are. We occasionally write letters for each
other but he said that he would be busy for a few months and couldn't send me
letter that frequent.” Hong er: ”Hhmm~ Did he say anything regarding to your
marriage?” Meiyun: ”En, he is handling the dowry and has a plan about
our marriage but he didn't tell me anything about the marriage.” Hong er: ”It is good to know that General Di took this
matter seriously.” Meiyun: ”En.” Hong er: ”Coincidentally, His Majesty Emperor also got
busier these past few weeks. I wonder if they are planning something behind my
back again.” Meiyun: ”The Qi brothers also have been going in and out the
palace every day.” Hong er: ”Let them do what they want to do. If they don't
want to tell us, then let them be. No need to poke our nose in every single

really happen. Ming Yu came into the library with Xue Lang who was just done
with his classes for the day. Ming Yu: ”Your Majesty Empress, do you want to this servant

Hong er's ability to sense a bad omen that is going to happen. Xue Lang: ”Imperial Mother, I will massage your feet.” Xue Lang took a small stool and sat in front of Hong er. At
first, Hong er wanted to reject his offer because his hand was still injured
from yesterday's accident, but seeing the determination in his eyes, Hong let
him do whatever he wanted with her feet. Huayun: ”Your Majesty Empress, how about we go investigate
to see if anything is odd?” Hong er: ”En. Meiyun, take the elite forces with you and
investigate everything. Huayun stay here.” Meiyun: ”Yes, Your Majesty Empress.” Without further ado, Meiyun departed to get the elite forces
to investigate everything that related to Hong er and anyone that are close to
her. Xue Lang: ”Imperial Mother, I'm sure everything will be
fine.” Hong er: ”En. Mother hopes so.” . . 10 days later, Meiyun finally came back from her inspection.
She directly went to report to Hong er without even changing her clothes. Meiyun: ”This servant apologize in place of all the elite
forces for the delay.” Hong er: ”En. It is fine, nothing had happened since you
left but the bad feeling only got worse day by day. So what took you so long?” Meiyun: ”Yes, we coincidentally bumped into some problem in
many places.” Hong er: ”Like what?” Meiyun: ”It seems like the snowstorm at northeast of Da Qi
had caused the livestock in there to decrease in such a great amount. The
