Emperor Shen's charming wife

On the carriage back to the palace, Shen Yu and Ning Yao looked haggard, their eyes bloodshot, and they had not slept all night. They frowned, anxiously retracing every step of the carriage, not missing any possible details, trying to find clues to the lost documents. The carriage was bumpy all the way, and the scenery outside the window kept changing, but they had no intention of appreciating it. Every time they passed a place, they would carefully ask the local villagers, with eagerness and expectation in their voices. But the answers they got were always disappointing, and the result of getting nothing made their hearts sink a little bit. Just when the two were in despair and almost gave up, a child wearing coarse clothes and a dirty face passed by accidentally. Hearing their questions, the child tilted his head and thought for a while, and said timidly: "Yesterday I saw a strange big bird take away something shiny." This sentence was like a flash of lightning across the dark night sky, instantly attracting the attention of Shen Yu and Ning Yao. The light of hope rekindled in their eyes, and they couldn't help wondering in their hearts, could it be that the crucial document was taken away by this bird? Ning Yao secretly guessed that perhaps some large bird had mistaken the document for a colorful decoration and carried it away. She looked determined and made a prompt decision, saying, "We have to follow the route described by the child and look for it in the forest." Shen Yu followed her closely without hesitation and stepped into the deep forest together. In the forest, ancient trees were towering and their branches and leaves were intertwined, as if they had woven a natural barrier. They shuttled through the forest with difficulty, and from time to time their clothes were caught by the branches, making a "squeaking" sound. Sometimes they slipped and accidentally stepped into the cold stream, and the splashing water wet their shoes and socks. Ning Yao staggered and almost fell, but Shen Yu was quick to support her. "Be careful!" Shen Yu said with concern. "Thank you." Ning Yao nodded slightly, with a blush on her face. In this way, they supported and helped each other. During this journey full of difficulties and obstacles, their feelings for each other quietly warmed up. Finally, in a bird's nest in a towering tree, they were pleasantly surprised to find the fragments of documents used as nesting materials. The two approached the bird's nest lightly, their eyes full of caution and care, as if they were treating the most precious treasure in the world. They carefully collected the fragments of documents one by one, and looked at the broken pieces of paper in their hands, with mixed feelings in their hearts. The next process of repairing the documents was extremely difficult, which required extraordinary patience and incomparable meticulousness. Ning Yao's smart eyes flashed with a firm light, showing extraordinary wisdom. She thought of using honey to glue the shredded paper together little by little, and Shen Yu assisted her with full concentration. His eyes always followed Ning Yao's movements, handing tools and supporting papers, and cooperating tacitly. Time passed by minute by minute, and the foreheads of the two were gradually covered with fine beads of sweat, but their hands were still stable and focused. After a long and arduous effort, the document was finally repaired. Although most of the file has been recovered, the most critical page is still missing. Just when everyone was at a loss, a big bird flew back slowly, holding the missing page in its mouth. It turned out that it had just used this page as a toy for its young birds to play with. At this point, the file was finally recovered intact. However, the risk of the file's contents being leaked made Ning Yao full of worry and pain. She frowned and was worried. Various bad situations that might be caused by the file leak kept appearing in her mind, and her heart seemed to fall into an endless abyss.
