Chapter 406: The Ghost Bride Appears
Qin Hanmo and Ni Nainai entered the palace hand in hand. Ni Nainai even thoughtfully prepared precious supplements given by Feng Ling to help the Queen Mother recuperate.
When they entered the Queen Mother's bedroom, they saw the Queen Mother sitting on the couch, smiling and welcoming them. She said:
"I know that you are busy all day long for the country, but you should also take some time to consider the matter of children. After all, you must have a child of your own to continue the incense and pass on the family business." As he said this, he looked at Ni Naina's belly.
Ni Naina's heart tightened. She didn't want to have a child with Qin Hanmo, but it was not easy to directly reject the Queen Mother's kindness. She smiled and replied:
"Empress Dowager, it's not as easy for us immortals to have children as it is for ordinary people. Everything depends on fate. We can't have them immediately if we want them. I hope you can understand." After saying this, she secretly felt lucky that she pushed the responsibility of not wanting to have children onto the illusory immortals.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly to show her understanding. She thought that the children of immortals must be born different from others, so they cannot be judged by common sense. Moreover, if the son was born by Ni Nai Nai, he must be a dragon among men, incomparable to ordinary people.
At this time, Qin Hanmo, who was standing by, saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Don't worry, Queen Dowager. You just need to take good care of yourself and wait for our child to be born." His words were gentle and sincere, and the Queen Dowager was overjoyed.
"Hehehe..." The Queen Mother couldn't help but chuckle after hearing these words. Her face was full of joy and she said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay!" These words were as gentle as the spring breeze, making people feel particularly comfortable listening to them.
At this time, Ni Naina walked up to the Queen Mother and said softly, "Queen Mother, we will go to see our father together in a while. Please pack up a little and wait for a while. I will take you out of the palace to taste the delicious food outside the palace."
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother was instantly puzzled, and thought to herself: Could it be that the delicacies provided in this huge palace are not as delicious as the food outside the palace?
Ni Naina seemed to see through the Queen Mother's thoughts and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I promise you will return satisfied. I will pick you up later."
After saying that, she did not forget to turn her head to look at Qin Hanmo beside her. She saw Qin Hanmo nodded slightly and nodded slightly to the empress dowager to show his agreement.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother had some doubts in her heart, but she finally agreed and said slowly: "Okay then."
After all, she had not stepped out of the palace for a long time. She enjoyed the fine clothes and delicious food and the service of delicacies from land and sea in the palace every day. The world outside the palace and those once familiar tastes had long become a little vague to her.
The atmosphere in the imperial study was solemn and quiet. Crown Prince Qin Hanyu stood respectfully in front of the emperor, bowed slightly, and said:
"Father, I want to go out and take a look at the people."
The king sat at the desk, holding a red pen in his hand. Hearing this, he slowly raised his head and looked at the prince. He asked with some scrutiny and concern:
"Prince, are you going there for the matter of the ghost bride reported from Ling County?"
Prince Qin Hanyu nodded and said, "Father, that's right. The case of the ghost bride has not been solved for many days. Now the people are in a panic and can't live in peace. As the crown prince, I should share my father's worries and solve the people's problems. Therefore, I decided to go to Ling County to investigate the matter in person to calm the people's hearts."
After hearing this, the king showed a look of relief on his face, nodded and said, "That's great. However, if this matter is caused by humans, it would be easier to deal with. With your intelligence and ability, you should be able to handle it easily. But if this matter is done by a talented person, I'm afraid it will be a bit tricky. How about I arrange for the great magician of the Imperial Master's Mansion to go with you? This way, you can have someone to take care of you."
The prince hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed again to express his gratitude, saying, "This... I, your son, thank you very much for your concern. With the help of the great magician from the Imperial Master's Mansion, I believe this trip will be much smoother."
After saying this, he stood up straight, his eyes shining with confidence and determination, as if he was ready to face all challenges.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang has an urgent report!" In this solemn and dignified court, a loud and urgent report suddenly came from the door of the palace. A heroic guard in armor quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and reported to the high and mighty Emperor Qin Tian.
Qin Tian raised his hand slightly and said calmly, "Noisy."
The guard responded respectfully and turned around and quickly left the hall. Not long after, they heard a hurried sound of footsteps coming from far away. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Prime Minister Zhang who was rushing towards the hall with an anxious look on his face.
