When the two of them heard this, their originally pale faces were suddenly filled with panic. 【 】

Wei Ning'er's mind quickly recalled the path she took when she came back just now, thinking about whether there is a hiding place, whether there is anything suspicious, but Ruoyan felt that the sky was about to fall, and she fainted .

"What's wrong with Ruoyan?" Chu Xia was shocked, and supported her together with Wei Ning'er.

Ruoyan woke up leisurely, tears welled up in his eyes, and he took Wei Ning'er's hand and began to cry: "What should I do? What should I do? If I had known this before, I should have followed the princess..."

"What happened?" Chu Xia only felt that something was wrong, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Princess, the princess is gone!" Wei Ning'er looked up at Chu Xia and said.

"This..." Chu Xia was also stunned by the sudden bad news.

The princess is the empress's treasure, so she can't make any mistakes, but now they say that the princess is gone, Chu Xia is in a hurry, looking at Wei Ning'er with red eyes, and said sharply: "Useless slaves, didn't you tell you to follow the princess every step of the way?" ? Now that the princess is gone, why are you still staying there, why don't you go find it!"

"Yes, I'm going to look for you, servant girl!" Ruoyan got up and stumbled to run out, but was grabbed by Wei Ning'er. Wei Ning'er turned her head to look at Aunt Chu Xia, and the panic and fear in her eyes disappeared at this moment. Save, some are just firm.

"Girl, this matter has nothing to do with Ruoyan. She was feeling unwell just now, so the princess asked her to come back to rest first. It was the servant who lost the princess, and the servant went to look for it. The aunt just needs to tell the emperor and the empress that the princess came from the lake. I didn’t see you on the way to the dormitory, thank you, auntie!” Wei Ning’er looked at Ruoyan, and whispered in her ear: “Stay here and take a closer look at the back garden, and see if there is any abnormality in any lady. Doubt, whether I can survive this time depends on you!"

At this time, Ruoyan was exhausted physically and mentally, overwhelmed by the burden, and even walking was weak, so how could he go looking for someone? It was better to keep her first and let her stay to check for any clues.

As for searching for someone, as long as Aunt Chu Xia goes back to report to the Emperor and Empress, there will be many people looking for them, not one of them is missing.

"Go, I will report back to my mother later, saying that no one has seen me here, do you understand? I have never seen the princess, and I have never seen you, and that is all I can help you with!" Chu Xia hurried after saying that. He went to the Queen's bedroom.

"Thank you, aunt!" Wei Ning'er didn't expect that aunt Chu Xia would help them so much, she was so moved, she wiped away the tears from her eyes and ran outside.

"Ning'er..." Ruoyan only felt that her heart was dripping with blood, why... why would Ning'er protect her whenever there was danger, why?

Although Chu Xia's aunt protected them, but just now her aunt was angry, but Ning'er exonerated her and took all the blame for her crimes. How could she feel so embarrassed?

This will only make her sadder and more guilty, because she once suspected Ning'er, misunderstood Ning'er, and even wanted to harm her.

"I'm sorry Ning'er, never again, never again in the future, you will always be my good sister Ruoyan, and you will always be the person I care about most in this deep palace. Make it up, I won't let you have trouble, we can't have trouble!" Ruoyan was afraid that he would cry out, so he covered his mouth and went out.

She wants to listen to Ning'er, she wants to visit all the women secretly, she must find the person who wants to harm the princess and their sisters.

And when Aunt Chuxia returned to the Queen's bedroom, she finally calmed down. After many years in the palace, she had already learned to hide any emotions.

At the beginning, the death of the second elder brother was a great blow to the empress, but now the princess can no longer make any mistakes, and the empress can no longer bear the pain of losing her child.

"Chu Xia, where is Li Li?" Chu Xia just entered the palace, the queen asked with a smile.

The emperor who was sitting at the table also raised his head, but he didn't see his precious daughter coming in. He thought to himself, the little girl must be playing tricks again.

Chu Xia bowed slightly and said: "I want to report to your empress, the servant went to the princess' bedroom, but there was no one in the bedroom."

The queen raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the words: "No one is there? Even if the princess is not here, what about the maids and eunuchs?"

"Qi Madam, the princess told the servants that she didn't want many people to serve her. The servants did not dare to disobey, so they followed the princess's wishes and only left Ning'er and Ruoyan by her side."

Because the princess lives very close to the queen, Chu Xia thought that she could send someone to take care of her at any time, but she never took it to heart, but now she regretted it.

"It's so late, where will that child go, Chu Xia, you send someone to look for it!" The queen said urgently.

"Yes, my lord, I will send someone here, my lord, when the princess went out this afternoon, Ning'er had returned to my servant, saying that the princess was going to play by the lake. The servant thought that the princess might still be there, but it was just the weather It's already late, if you're still on the lake, then..." Chu Xia abruptly shut her mouth when she said this, and then it's up to the empress and the emperor.

The queen's face changed drastically when she heard the words, and the emperor's heart also jumped, so he said to Wu Shulai who was beside him: "You take the guards to look for it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai immediately ran out.

"Chu Xia, you bring all the people in the palace to look for this palace, hurry up!" The queen stood up from the chair in a hurry, feeling that the sky was shaking.

"Empress!" The emperor held her up.

"Your majesty, my concubine is going to find Lili!" The queen trembled.

"Yuexi, don't worry, Lili is just playing for fun. It's not dark at this time, and I have sent people to look for it!" Although the emperor said this, he was also anxious in his heart, so he asked someone to carry Longyu to the lake. side went.

He and the queen had just arrived halfway, when they met Wu Shulai who was rushing back.

"Your Majesty..." Wu Shulai knelt on the ground out of breath.

"How, have you found the princess?" the emperor asked.

"Reporting to the emperor, the slaves went to the lake, and the eunuchs and guards guarding there said that no one wanted to take a boat tour of the lake today, and they saw the princess before, but then there was no one there!" Wu Shulai was also anxious. sweat.

"Send someone to search for me carefully!" the emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Wu Shulai took the order and left.

About two quarters of an hour later, Wu Shulai and Chu Xia returned to their orders at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the servant led people to search all the places around here, and even searched the entire main palace, but the princess was not found!" Wu Shulai said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have also been searched carefully, and they have also sent people to the Empress Dowager and Eldest Brother to ask, but the princess has not gone!" Chu Xia couldn't stand anymore.

When the queen heard the words, she felt that the sky was about to fall, and her pears were gone, gone!As soon as this thought appeared in her mind, she curled up on her shoulders, as if it was extremely painful!

"Yuexi!" The emperor also noticed her abnormality, and yelled at the eunuch who was carrying his shoulders: "Hurry up and put the empress down!"

"Yes!" The eunuchs were frightened and put their shoulders on the ground.

"Yuexi, what's the matter with you?" The emperor violently hugged the queen down, and seeing the queen trembling in pain, his heart seemed to be torn apart at this moment.

"Yuexi, don't be afraid, I'm here, passing on the imperial physician, passing on the imperial physician..." The emperor hugged her and ran to the bedroom.

The queen has angina pectoris, which is the root cause of her heartbreak after the death of her second elder brother Yong Lian. After that, whenever she misses her second elder brother too much, she will have an attack, and the pain is so painful that the emperor sees it hurt. in my heart.

In the past two years, the queen has never fallen ill, but this time she fell ill because the princess disappeared, because she had already lost one child and could not lose another one.

Back in the bedroom, the empress endured the severe pain and took the emperor's hand, and a weak voice slowly sounded: "The emperor... Lili..."

"Yuexi, Lili will be fine, I promise, she will be fine!" the emperor comforted anxiously.

"Yonglian... Lili..." The queen was in a daze from the pain, and kept shouting.

The emperor slammed his fist on the edge of the bed, got up and left the queen's bedroom, and went to find the princess in person.

The death of Yong Lian is the eternal pain in the queen's heart, and it is the same for him.

On June 26th in the eighth year of Yongzheng, Yue Xi, who was a direct descendant of Jin, gave birth to his second child. Because he was a direct grandson, Huang Ama was overjoyed and personally named his grandson "Yonglian".Lianzhe, this implied the meaning of inheriting the ancestral temple. At that time, he was the default heir to the throne, and his son Yonglian would also be the continuation of the country in Huang Ama's heart.

Because Yong Lian was born of the Empress, he loves the house and the crow, so he also regards Yong Lian as his darling and dotes on him to the extreme, and Yong Lian is indeed a very good child, smart and precious, with extraordinary bearing, gradually, he sees in this child The shadow of himself when he was a child, so he loves Yonglian even more.

After succeeding to the throne, he summoned important ministers, imitated the emperor's examination, and secretly established a crown prince. He secretly wrote the name of the crown prince and hid it behind the "righteous and bright" plaque in the Qianqing Palace.

In fact, the establishment of the crown prince does not advocate the establishment of a heir or a head, it mainly depends on the prince's own qualifications, but he established the crown early, just because he loves Yonglian too much.

But in October of the third year after he succeeded to the throne, the autumn wind began to rise, and it turned from warm to cold, and Yong Lian caught a cold.Although the prince is precious, he didn't care too much about this minor illness.Unexpectedly, Yong Lian could not afford to fall ill and died on the twelfth day of this month.

The queen blamed herself very much, and so did he. At that time, the child was not feeling well, but he still let the child go to the study room, and still let him go to the arrow pavilion to ride horses and shoot arrows.

Until now, the emperor still remembered that the morning before Yong Lian's death, he saw Yong Lian go to the study listless, and gave him a severe reprimand.

Thinking about it now, if it wasn't for the child being uncomfortable, how could a child who has never made the slightest mistake be like this, and he, the emperor Ama, didn't know it, and even trained him to make his eight-year-old son stay still until his death? Tell him, Huang Ama, my son is wrong!

Regret, self-blame, heartache... No, it was not enough, he regretted and hated himself, so he didn't even dare to face the heartbroken queen all these years.
