Yuzhen said: "Not at all. Her court lady went to the pregnant woman's house and gave her family 100 taels of silver to comfort her family. Yi Guiyuan never came out when she said she wanted to comfort her. The whole family was stunned, and Yi Guiyuan disappeared, so they immediately reported to the officials, and after the officials checked, they said that there were no traces of fighting in the house, and the door to the back yard was open, as if he had left by himself.”

Chu Yanyu's heart skipped a beat.

Yu Zhen seemed to know what she was thinking, and whispered, "I asked someone to check her bedroom, and found that all the soft and silver coins were gone."

Queen Sun's expression changed.

It is a capital crime for the concubine to escape.

Her queen is also to blame.

Chu Yanyu also knew that the consequences were serious, and her scalp felt numb just thinking about it.

She suddenly remembered that Yi Guiyuan once compiled a booklet for her about the tea making method. Could it be that she was preparing to escape early in the morning?

Empress Sun stood up slowly, "I'm going to ask the emperor to apologize."

"I'll go after my wife." Chu Yanyu quickly followed.

If the father blames the mother, she must protect her.

Empress Sun and Chu Yanyu rushed to Zheng'an Palace, the emperor's face was extremely ugly.

Empress Sun stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

Chu Yanyu also quickly knelt down.

"She's dead."

Chu Yanyu was taken aback.

Empress Sun raised her eyes, "Yi Guiyuan?"

The emperor nodded.

Chu Yanyu was a little confused.

Empress Sun quickly calmed down and leaned down, "My concubine came here to apologize, but I didn't take good care of Yi Guiyuan."

"It has nothing to do with the queen, you get up."

Chu Yanyu had calmed down and quickly helped her mother up. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did Guiyuan die? Isn't she missing?"

The emperor looked sad and pressed down on his temples, "Jing Zhaoyin has already found out that she was burnt to death in a grove not far from the deceased's house. She found her private seal in her inner skirt pocket and put it away. It was confirmed that it was her."

Chu Yanyu trembled, and felt her mother's body tighten.

"Who is so cruel!" Queen Sun's face turned pale.

It was the first time that a concubine had been so brutally murdered.

"Still investigating."

Chu Yanyu suddenly shuddered, "The murderer must think it's me! Yi Guiyuan went out today wearing her regular clothes and a veil."

The emperor looked up at her, indeed.

Although Yi Guiyuan is plump, she is not tall and petite. At first glance, she looks a bit like Chu Yanyu.

"Empress, please bury Concubine Yi for me."

"Yes, the emperor's condolences." Empress Sun respectfully said.

Buried as a concubine, the royal father likes Yi Guiyuan a little, right?It's a pity she doesn't care about her father.

In her mind, Yi Guiyuan is a bird in a cage, and she wants to fly out all the time.

"Father, condolences." Chu Yanyu lowered her head.

But she still didn't believe it in her heart, Yi Guiyuan is such a smart person, not to mention, she must have an idea that she would not let Chu Yanyu and her people follow her when she went out this time.

Go back and let the winter heron do a good check.

However, fortunately, the queen mother no longer has to take responsibility. Yi Guiyuan was instructed by her father to go out of the palace to assist Chu Yanyu.

"Queen Mother, I want to visit Huimin Pavilion." Chu Yanyu took Empress Sun's hand and walked out of Zheng'an Palace.

Empress Sun frowned slightly, "It's dangerous now."

"I have Donglu and the others." Chu Yanyu looked around.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "The target is not me, otherwise, everyone knows that there are winter herons and the others around me, so how can they get close? They don't have any doubts when they kill them by mistake?"

Queen Sun knew, but she was not at ease.

"Doesn't mother want to know whether Yi Guiyuan is really dead or fake?"

Empress Sun was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "What do you know?"

"My daughter is just guessing."

Empress Sun pondered for a moment, "Okay, Donglu, be sure to protect the princess."

"Yes!" Donglu said.
