Three days later, the Queen Mother went to the funeral and was buried with the late Emperor in the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs.

For some unknown reason, perhaps because of the war on the border, this funeral ceremony was decent but not too extravagant.

After the funeral of the Empress Dowager, although the emperor resumed court meetings as usual, Lu Lingchuan, who was sitting alone on the dragon chair, his face hidden under the twelve-piece crown, hardly said a word to the courtiers' suggestions.

The ministers could not guess the emperor's intentions and became more and more submissive.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, the emperor locked himself in the palace.

Shen Feng took everything into consideration, but felt powerless. He knew that the memorials sent to the emperor's study every day were empty, without leaving a single word of annotation.

However, he was entangled in political affairs, but it was difficult for him to get away to visit the emperor. The only time I went outside Xingning Palace, I was turned away.

Wang Dafu told him that His Majesty's will was not seen by anyone.

After Shen Feng negotiated with the six ministers, he had to deal with all the urgent document memorials first. Those important and complicated political affairs, even if they are not paid attention to by the emperor, can still only be placed on the Dragon Case.

When Shen Yao heard the news that her father had returned to the mansion after handling political affairs, she hurriedly brought lotus seed soup to see Shen Feng.

Dad was sitting on the Taishi chair, resting his forehead on his hands and taking a nap. It is really hard work to go to the palace four times a day and sometimes work until late at night.

"Dad, my daughter made the soup with her own hands. Please use some quickly." Shen Yao handed over the gold and white jade lotus soup bowl with both hands.

She stayed by the stove and simmered the lotus seed soup inside for two hours.

When she thought that in a few days, she would leave for the capital and not see her father for a long time, Shen Yao naturally still felt a bit of sadness and reluctance in her heart. So after her father returned home, she always tried her best to do everything herself and take care of him.

Shen Feng took the soup handed over by his daughter, tasted it, and nodded.

"Dad, has the demon star been beheaded?" Shen Yao asked. The feeling of having her mind imprisoned in a dream was too uncomfortable. She didn't want to suffer again.

"Alas," Shen Feng lamented when he heard this and couldn't help but curse, "That bald donkey made an excuse to go back to Wanfo Temple and disappeared."

"Xia Huaibei led the imperial army and surrounded the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. After searching every inch, he could not find any clues. Now many of the monks and Concubine Yang's tribe have gone to the heavenly prison for interrogation and torture."

"So,..." Shen Yao opened her mouth in surprise.

"So, after the Queen Mother is buried, Your Majesty cannot kill the demon star and avenge his mother." Shen Feng answered his daughter, and he frowned again.

When he thought of Lu Lingchuan, who locked himself in the palace every day after going to court, neither reviewing memorials nor seeing anyone else, Shen Feng's eyes darkened as if they were in the dark night.

However, there is no solution to this matter. Now he can only wait and see what happens.

"Master Taishi, what a happy event! What a happy event!"

An old and joyful voice came from outside the door.

Shen Yao raised her eyes and saw that it was the old housekeeper who ran in with three steps turning into two steps, and kept shouting,——

"The eldest young master and the young master are back."

"Big brother, little brother!"

Looking at the two young men who came in following the old housekeeper's rickety figure, Shen Yao looked happy. I quickly picked up my skirt and went to greet him.

She had already missed them since they arrived. Secondly, after she leaves home, she will naturally have her eldest brother and younger brother to serve her father, which will save her a lot of worries.
