"I haven't found Her Majesty yet . I will return immediately once there is news," one of the elderly said as he knitted his brows . There were two elders in the official residence, sitting down facing each other .

"That sorcerer should have been killed long ago if not such matters wouldn't have happened . If Her Majesty were to get into any trouble, the consequences would be disastrous," Junior Elder Zhe Kouhai spoke .

Facing him was the Great Elder s.h.i.+ Qing . He closed his eyes with a look of worry on his face .

The empress' disappearance was indeed a very serious matter .

As time pa.s.sed, even though Xin Zhe had kept it a secret, other people were already starting to find something amiss .

When night fell, both Elders entered the palace together . They then realized that Xin Zhe actually dared to keep mum about such a serious matter .

At this time, the Department of Inspection was conducting a large scale search in the city . Even the Left Army had been activated to search outside the borders of Lan City . Such big operation had already brought about much suspicion . At most, this matter could only be kept a secret for another day . If the empress was still not found by noon the next day, everything would be in a huge chaos .

"I feel that it's better if we inform the General-in-Chief who Supports the Nation," Zhe Kouhai suggested after thinking for a long while .

"It's not necessary for that yet . We shall inform the General-in-Chief who Supports the Nation to get ready if the empress is still not found by noon tomorrow . " s.h.i.+ Qing sighed .

"Xin Zhe really ought to die . The empress actually went missing in the palace when she is supposed to be protecting her . And yet, she still made a futile attempt to conceal the matter . d.a.m.n it . If she wasn't the commander of the palace's imperial guards for the search, I would have banished her to the prison at once . If anything were to happen to Her Majesty, she must be executed in public," Zhe Kouhai continued talking .

But, s.h.i.+ Qing remained silent with his eyes closed .

At present, his brows were almost as knotted as a fried dough twist . His already wrinkled face seemed even older .

The two men just sat there facing each other from late night till sunrise .

Zhe Kouhai stood up and said, "One night has already pa.s.sed, and yet, there is still no news . We'd better make some preparations . "

s.h.i.+ Qing, who was sitting there the entire time, opened his eyes abruptly . His eyes glowed with radiance . "What are you planning to do?"

Zhe Kouhai lowered his head and looked at s.h.i.+ Qing . "If we still cannot find Her Majesty by today, someone will definitely notice and perhaps create disorder . We have to prepare for this . "

s.h.i.+ Qing stared at him for quite some time before shutting his eyes again .

Zhe Kouhai left the residence, got into the carriage and let out a snort .

Her Majesty has already been missing for an entire day .

Furthermore, it happened in the palace .

It's possible that she may never come back again .

If Her Majesty still cannot be found over the next few days, then we should probably invite that person back .

…

Presently, there were still a few imperial guards keeping watch at Yangxin Palace Hall .

The air in the palace hall suddenly warped, and two people appeared unexpectedly .

"Who is that? Your Majesty!" A few imperial guards witnessed two people appearing in the palace hall . Immediately, they knelt on one knee with overflowing joy at the unexpected good news .

Naturally, the people who appeared in the palace hall were Ren Baqian and Her Majesty .

Ren Baqian was wearing casual pants and a s.h.i.+rt . The empress was wearing a red dress, but it was a different outfit .

The empress released her grip on Ren Baqian's hand, turned around, walked a few steps and sat down on the couch . "How long has it been since I left?" She said with a cold voice .

"Your Majesty, it has already been twenty hours . "

"Did anything happen? Where is Qing Yuan and Hong Luan? Get Xin Zhe here too . " After the empress spoke, the imperial guards at the lower ground responded and two of them hurried off .

The remaining two guards stayed to tell her about some of the things they knew .

For instance, news about Xin Zhe ordering all the imperial guards to search the palace . At the same time, she concealed the matter and ordered the Department of Inspection to conduct a large-scale search in Lan City . But, due to the huge extent of mobilization, it attracted two Elders who found out about Her Majesty's disappearance, and they notified the Left Army to search outside the city borders . Another piece of news was that Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were locked up in the side palace hall with someone keeping watch .

To sum up, the empress' disappearance for a day had left many people alarmed .

After all, given her status, her every action would already set off quite a bit of disturbance, not to mention something like her disappearance .

After a short while, Xin Zhe, donned in her helmet and body armor, took big strides into the palace hall . She was full of exultation . "Greetings, Your Majesty . "

The empress nodded, "You've done well . Ask the Great Elder and Junior Elder to enter the palace, and inform the Left Army and Department of Inspection to halt the search . Get Ke Yong and Lei Yue to see me . The rest of you may take your leave . "

"Yes, Your Majesty . I bid my farewell . " Xin Zhe and the other two imperial guards responded and left in large strides .

After they left, the empress looked at Ren Baqian, and said with a gentler tone, "You too, get some rest, don't hold up your practice . "

"I shall take my leave, Your Majesty . " Ren Baqian replied, turned around and left the palace hall . After taking a few steps, he saw Qing Yuan and Hong Luan hurrying over, staring at him sternly .

You unexpectedly disappeared with Her Majesty and implicated the both of us .

It was not that much of a grievance, but they felt some resentment towards Ren Baqian .

On the contrary, Ren Baqian returned to Pingle Park with a good-natured smile, heaving a sigh as soon as he got back to his room .

The empress was much gentler during those two days on Earth . Ren Baqian saw her in different states of mind: enviousness, restlessness, curiousness, etc . She seemed more like an ordinary person . But once she returned to Dayao, she reverted to the originally highly revered empress once again .

As he made breakfast in the kitchen, the empress was naively sitting on the sofa dressed in red, eating ice cream, and watching the news on television . Ren Baqian actually fancied that empress—a lot in fact .

On the other hand, this cold and dignified empress always made him feel extremely pressured .

Eliminating that thought from his head, Ren Baqian estimated the time for his next return . It was two and a half days on Earth and twenty hours over here .

Ren Baqian intended to try and not to initiate going back on his own the next time . He wanted to find out how long he could stay in this world .

After sitting on his bed for a while, Ren Baqian removed all those distracting thoughts out of his head . He then focused on the [Visualization of Water] of the [Ruyi Visualization], and once again appeared by the side of the lake .

Many people knew something about the disappearance of the empress . But, the majority of them only knew that the husband that the empress chose suddenly went missing in the palace . The large-scale search outside the city borders by the Department of Inspection stopped after a day, and he was reportedly found .

s.h.i.+ Qing felt relieved after hearing that the empress had returned . The wrinkles on his face had also evened out .

However, Zhe Kouhai was distracted for a long while when he heard the news . In the end, he did not speak a single word and eventually entered the palace to seek an audience with the empress .

When he arrived at the palace doors, he saw that s.h.i.+ Qing's carriage already there .

"Her Majesty has returned . " s.h.i.+ Qing let out a profound laughter as he spoke to Zhe Kouhai .

"This is great news . I feel more relieved too . " Zhe Kouhai laughed as well .

Both men entered the palace to see the empress together .

"I wonder where has Your Majesty gone to this time?" s.h.i.+ Qing questioned as he saw the empress .

"An interesting place," the empress casually replied . Earth was indeed pretty interesting to her .

The culture, the bustle, and also the extremely powerful weapons . Those were the things from Earth that left her with the deepest impressions .

She hoped that Dayao could one day be like that too .

"I probably shouldn't intervene with Your Majesty's whereabouts, but I feel that it will be better if Your Majesty can inform us in the future . Furthermore, it is also unwise to travel alone," s.h.i.+ Qing said .

"I understand . Don't worry about this," the empress replied as she waved her hand .

"The reason I've summoned the both of you, is to tell you that I am fine . If there is nothing else, you may take your leave . "

"Your Majesty's disappearance this time has made quite a big impact . It has left many people in the palace fl.u.s.tered . Prior to this, nothing of this sort has happened before .

I feel that Ren Baqian has bewitched Your Majesty with sorcery . Your Majesty, please kill this man and choose another man as your husband," Zhe Kouhai suddenly pet.i.tioned .

Upon hearing his words, the empress immediately squinted her eyes, resembling the eyes of a phoenix .
