Chapter 1301: Chapter 1210: All Parties Strive

"Even if Eleventh Uncle sets off for Yongzhou immediately, it will still take nearly a month at the fastest."

By the time he arrives, the yellow flowers will have already wilted!

As Su Pan’er was entangled in thought, Qin Yi had already issued an order, "Summon Cao Imperial Historian to see Us immediately. Additionally, order the Guard of Honor Grand Scholar, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and Guard of Honor Supreme Commander Chiang for an audience."

"Summon Cao Imperial Historian, the Guard of Honor Grand Scholar, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and Guard of Honor Supreme Commander Chiang for an audience!"

The orders quickly echoed throughout the Huayang Palace.

Qin Yi rose to his feet, looking at Su Pan’er, "Su Ke encountered errors while executing imperial tasks on Our behalf. We will certainly investigate this matter thoroughly. This is no longer a trivial issue, but a matter of the land and kingdom. Once We have consulted with the Court and Our ministers and come to a resolution, We will surely inform you immediately."

Su Pan’er did not reply but nodded silently.

She watched Qin Yi stride away like a shooting star.

As soon as Qin Yi had left, Su Pan’er, after a brief moment of contemplation, turned and instructed Jiu Lan, "Send someone to the Lui Family quickly, and tell them I need Big Brother Lui’s help with a matter."

Jiu Lan acknowledged the command.

Before she could leave, Su Pan’er added, "Be careful, and make sure no one sees you."

After giving one more instruction, she let Jiu Lan depart.

Now that Qin Yi was discussing matters with the ministers in Court, she also had to lend her strength. Although he said it was a matter of state, to Su Pan’er, it was a grave matter concerning her brother’s life and future!

"Empress Mother, is it Uncle who has gotten into trouble?"

Little Yanyan, who had been sitting quietly by her side, had been holding Little Sugar Bean and remaining silent since the news arrived. It was only now that she spoke.

"Yes, your mother is very worried."

In front of her daughter, Su Pan’er did not hide her emotions.

Ke’er had been especially clingy to his sister since he was young, and she had taken great care of him; over the years, their bond had only grown deeper.

Upon learning of Ke’er’s predicament, how could she possibly sit still?

It was fortunate that another person who would be restless was not currently in the palace; otherwise, who knows how distressed she herself would be!

The thought of her mother’s potential reaction upon learning the news was enough to make Su Pan’er reconsider telling her. But secrets can’t be kept forever, and who knew how many days she could conceal it from her?

Lui Muyi arrived promptly.

He had entered the palace by the time the evening lights were lit. Su Pan’er inevitably shared Su Ke’s situation with him and expressed her concerns.

"Empress, you needn’t worry. As they say, a lucky person will always have their good fortune, and Lord Su will be fine."

Lui Muyi pondered for a moment and then suggested, "If you’re really that concerned, Pan’er, why don’t I take a trip back to Luoyan Village? When it comes to familiarity with Deicide Mountain, among those here in Shengjing, I reckon I’m the only one."

Lui Muyi always liked to call her Pan’er, a term of endearment used only by her family, which made Su Pan’er feel especially close to him.

"Yes, I was thinking the same. However, I’m telling you this not because I want you to go back to Luoyan Village but rather to have your people carefully investigate. Investigate what Ke’er did after returning, who he met, and who else went to Luoyan Village. Especially people from Shengjing. Help me find out everything!"

Su Pan’er gave her instructions seriously.

As soon as they started talking about the matter, Lui Muyi’s spirits were lifted!

Slapping his palm, he said, "When it comes to other tasks, I, Lui Muyi, wouldn’t dare to guarantee success. But in this matter, you can rest assured, Pan’er! In Yongze County, my old stomping ground, any clue, no matter how slight, cannot escape my Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. Just wait for the good news I’ll bring you!"

Lui Muyi pounded his chest, as if making a guarantee!

Originally, the Lui Family in Yongze County had clout over both the lawful and the unlawful, so having him look for the information needed was far better than relying on the inept officials at the government office!

Su Pan’er nodded in satisfaction, "That would be great! Remember, report back to me as soon as you have any news!"

Lui Muyi complied and turned to leave the palace but was called back by Su Pan’er.

"Big Brother Lui, you and she, have you been well recently?"

"She?"

Lui Muyi instantly understood and frowned immediately, "Pan’er, why are you suddenly thinking about her?"

"Big Brother Lui, you’re not getting any younger, and it’s time you considered continuing the Lui family lineage."

Su Pan’er earnestly persuaded him, "Your Lui family is well-established, and Uncle Lui has high hopes for you. With no children of your own, do you intend to let the Lui family’s legacy end with you? Would you want to disappoint Uncle Lui by not giving him a grandson to hold?"

"These private matters—you just put your mind at ease. I know what I’m doing."

Lui Muyi was getting impatient and left the palace.

Su Pan’er hurriedly spoke up.

"But... how can you bear to see the little gold locket I prepared remain undelivered?"

Lui Muyi stopped in his tracks and then turned around, shaking his head helplessly, "Do you really have forgotten all that she did back then?"

Who she was and what she had done were common knowledge to them both.

Su Pan’er opened her mouth but found herself unable to utter the words of forgiveness she had prepared.

"See!"

Lui Muyi spread his hands, "Even you can’t bring yourself to say the words of forgiveness. How can you ask that I forgive her?"

Su Pan’er was at a loss for words.

"That’s different. After all, you two are husband and wife!"

"Tch!"

Lui Muyi scoffed, "Yes, she and I are husband and wife, and that’s why I’m discussing her with you. Otherwise..."

The rest of his words were left unsaid as Lui Muyi departed.

Su Pan’er was worried about Ke’er and anxious about Lui Muyi, feeling utterly unsettled.

Regarding Su Ke’s disappearance, Qin Yi and the ministers had discussed it and decided to send two officials, Cao Imperial Historian and a Grand Scholar from Baohedian, along with two Imperial Physicians, to Yongzhou to handle the matter.

Su Pan’er waited for news from Qin Yi, hardly sleeping that night.

After learning the final decision, she had no particular thoughts about it. Such actions were typical of the Imperial Court, and she was no longer surprised by them.

Qin Yi took care of matters and eventually leaned in to whisper in Su Pan’er’s ear.

"Don’t worry, I have already sent two teams of secret guards through the tunnels to Luoyan Village. Whether they find anyone or not, at least there is an additional avenue."

Yes!

The tunnels, the ones that led directly from underground to Luoyan Village!

Su Pan’er’s eyes lit up instantly!

"How many people have you sent? How skilled are they? When will they set off? How exactly have you arranged it?"

Her barrage of questions made Qin Yi chuckle, and he playfully lifted Su Pan’er’s chin with his hand, "Are you happy now? Look how excited you are! If I had known sharing this would make you so happy, I’d have told you sooner."

"Stop it... You haven’t said how exactly you’ve arranged it!"

Su Pan’er brushed aside his unruly hand.

"What else could be arranged? They’ll set off as soon as possible, of course." Rescue like fighting fire, we cannot afford to hesitate.
