Chapter 591: Emperor Minghua’s Worry

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Old man Wang couldn’t go back to sleep because Old Madam Wang felt that something was wrong. She sat up again and woke him up. “Get up.”

Old man Wang: “What’s wrong this time?!”

He was really very tired. In the day, he accompanied Ah Yu and Qin Huai to the palace and was stopped outside. Not long after, someone came to pass a message that he didn’t have to wait and that the two of them would not be returning that night.

Old man Wang knew that waiting outside was not a solution, so he returned and told Old Madam Wang about the matter. After the two of them analyzed it together, it was already late at night.

They were not worried about Ah Yu and Qin Huai’s safety. Now, Ah Yu was not a threat to anyone. As for Qin Huai, with his status, if he couldn’t even protect them within the boundaries of his own palace, it was impossible for Emperor Minghua to hold on to a huge dynasty.

Now, Old Madam Wang pulled Old man Wang up and asked him, “Old man, do you still remember your disciple, the King of Carving?”

“How can 1 not remember? Isn’t that kid famous now? Didn’t that group of people from the West Wind Nation ask me about him? Last year, they even sent a letter saying that they had lost the news of the King of Carving and asked me to help contact him again.” Speaking of this, Old man Wang was puzzled. “When they came previously, they were quite interested in Ah Yu and looked like they wanted to snatch her away. In the past two years, they stopped. Other than sending a pile of gifts every year, they didn’t do anything else.”

Old Madam Wang: “Who asked you about the West Wind Kingdom? I’m talking about the King of Carving. After you left today, I heard someone on the street say that Wanning City is going to hold a jade carving competition to select this year’s jade carving master. That King of Carving was invited to be the assessment official. It’s said that he’s coming to Wanning City.”

“You mean…” Old man Wang suddenly sat up straight. “Let the King of Carving do it?”

Old Madam Wang nodded.

The two of them had been husband and wife for more than 30 years and had long nurtured a lot of tacit understanding. There was no need to say many things. They already knew what the other party wanted to do and what plans they had.

The King of Carving was a child that the couple had once adopted. Old man Wang had even taught him more than half of his jade carving skills. Now that it had been more than 20 years, the King of Carving’s reputation was illustrious, and he had the demeanor of Old man Wang back then.

Since Old man Wang’s current connections in the capital were not good, this King of Carving would be a good candidate for them to use.

The current Emperor was a wise ruler. He enjoyed talents and accepted all kinds of people. He admired capable people very much.

In Wanning City there would definitely be many people who were on good terms with the King of Carving.

“However, after so many years, 1 don’t know what that child’s personality is like now. If we rashly acknowledge him, I’m afraid we’ll bring trouble to Ah Yu.” Old man Wang began to think about how to make this connection and not let Ah Yu be involved.

No matter how harmonious the Imperial Court was on the surface, there were endless disputes. In the face of huge benefits, anyone could change their nature and heart.

Ah Yu was still young. Old man Wang and Old Madam Wang did not want her to be involved in these things too early.

If possible, they had to steer her away from these troubles.

Even if she only lived in the prefecture capital or returned to town to live like an ordinary girl with a stable, rich, and happy life, it was already extremely good.

Old Madam Wang sighed and said, “We should have been more careful back then. All Yu and Qin Huai verbally agreed to marry each other when they were young, so we should have investigated this child’s background. Then, there would be no need to be so passive now.”

“You’re just soft-hearted. If you really detested it so much, why would you come all the way here?” Old man Wang yawned fiercely and turned around to sleep.

He really couldn’t take it anymore. He was old and couldn’t stay up late.

Old Madam Wang opened her eyes and thought for a while. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she made up her mind. Then, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

But some people were destined to be unable to sleep that night.

“What? Mother took them?!” Emperor Minghua thought that Eunuch Chang De had already arranged for the two children to sleep and planned to bring them to see the Empress tomorrow morning. He did not expect to be woken up at midnight and given this news.

Eunuch Chang De: “Yes. The Empress Dowager also said that you don’t have to worry. She won’t do anything to the two children, nor will she delay your matters.”

However, Emperor Minghua was not at ease.

His relationship with his mother had always been very faint, especially when he unintentionally found out about the matter between his Royal Father and Mother. The two of them no longer pretended to be loving in front of him.

Later on, when Royal Father seemed to have gone crazy and Mother wanted to kill him directly, she was stopped by Emperor Minghua. The mother and son then became enemies.

After the late Emperor died, the Empress Dowager built a boat for herself and lived there every day, not caring about anything.

The two of them had not spoken properly for many years.

Recalling that night many years ago, when his mother raised a poisoned dagger and wanted to stab the unconscious late emperor, Emperor Minghua’s hair stood on end.

He did not quite believe his mother’s words.

“Where are the two of them staying?”

“They said it’s the Hall of Abundance.”

Emperor Minghua, who was about to rush over, stopped in his tracks.

“It’s actually the Hall of Abundance?” Emperor Minghua was very surprised.

That was the place he had lived when he was young. After he was conferred the title of Crown Prince at the age of 10, he moved away from there under the previous Emperor’s imperial edict.

He had not lived there for many years now and didn’t know what the situation was like there.

At this moment, many memories of his childhood surfaced in Emperor Minghua’s heart, and his eyes gradually softened.

“Wait until dawn before setting off for the Hall of Abundance.” Emperor Minghua waved his hand and moved to go to the Qinchen Palace to continue dealing with government affairs.

He was a diligent Emperor and would only rest for three and a half hours every day. If he was really tired, he would at most rest for four hours.

On the first andisth of every month, he would go to the Empress’s Palace to spend the night and allocate six hours for the visit.

The relationship between the husband and wife pair was not harmonious. The Empress had also asked Emperor Minghua many times not to come, but Emperor Minghua would personally go every time. Even when facing the Empress’s emotionless face, he would sit there for six hours before leaving.

“Your Majesty, you’re not getting your three and a half hours of rest today,” Eunuch Chang De reminded carefully.

In the past, Eunuch Chang De didn’t dare to say such things. That was too overstepping his boundaries.

He was really a little worried about the Emperor’s health, especially after the Empress fell seriously ill. Emperor Minghua had not had a good sleep or meal in a long time.

Even if he had a body made of iron, there was no way he could bear this kind of toil.

“I understand. Go and rest. Come back at dawn to serve me.” Emperor Minghua waved his hand and sent Eunuch Chang De away before sitting in front of the table.

However, today, he couldn’t calm down enough to deal with the memos. His heart seemed to be in a mess, causing his thoughts to run wild.

Why did Mother take the two children? Could it be that she wanted to stop him from saving the Empress?

However, Mother did not seem to have any reason to do this. Although the Empress Dowager was not close to the Empress over the years, there were no conflicts between the two of them.

At this moment, the person standing in the Empress’s palace was none other than Qin Huai.

When Hua Hong saw Qin Huai standing silently at the entrance of the palace, she wanted to kneel down to him.

Qin Huai: “How is she?”
