Chapter 237 The little princess disappears, Concubine Shu commits suicide(1/2)

"I have been taking care of Ping'er. It's not appropriate to go through this. Don't give me the illness to my mother. That's not going to be cured. Your Majesty, please explain it to me when you go to my mother's side. I didn't mean to not see her, okay?"

She felt guilty and embarrassed, which made Xiao Linye feel distressed, "Don't worry, the queen mother is a sensible person, she will understand your difficulties. The queen mother, like us, wants Ping'er to get better soon. If we hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to see Ping'er these two days. The queen mother would not blame you. You are a very filial and good daughter-in-law, and she knows it better than anyone else."

"Then your husband, please go to Zhaoyang Palace to see your mother, and let the imperial doctor do his best to diagnose and treat it. By the way, before you go to Zhaoyang Palace, you must take a bath and clean the diseased air in Fengluan Palace, and then go to your husband's side. Don't let the diseased air be brought over, causing unnecessary trouble."

Before Xiao Linye left Fengluan Palace, Xu Muqing reminded him again.

Xiao Linye was very moved and hugged her before leaving, "Mu Qing, it is my greatest blessing to marry you in this life, but you have suffered with me."

She pushed Xiao Linye and said shyly and embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, go quickly, it's an old couple, don't be so emotional."

The young, noble and handsome man left, and she continued to take care of Ping'er.

Not long after, Ping'er opened her eyes weakly, stretched out her hand to her, and muttered in her mouth what she couldn't understand.

Xu Muqing picked up the child and walked around Fengluan Palace, shaking gently, "Ping'er, is it uncomfortable? After taking the medicine for another two days, the rashes on her body will be thawed and scabbed. Don't worry, the mother will always be with you and will never let you have any trouble."

The young child seemed to understand her words, blinking her big eyes and hooking her clothes with her fingers, which made her feel even more distressed.

"Ping'er, when you get better, will your mother take you to the imperial garden for a walk? When winter comes, let your father grill fish for us. At that time, my sister and you will be in the warm palace to watch the snow scene outside. My mother asked the palace maids to build snowmen and play snowball fights outside for you to see. My child is suffering, you must get better soon. Seeing you sick, my mother feels as uncomfortable as if she was cut by a knife."

She said, tears flowing out uncontrollably, not for herself, but for the young child who is less than one year old.

Not long after Xiao Linye left Fengluan Palace, Xu Muqing coaxed Ping'er to sleep. She was so sleepy that she was dozing off on the edge of the bed, a sharp and fearful voice shouted, "It's not good, it's on fire, everyone, come and put out the fire."

Xu Muqing was awakened directly. She ran out of the door with her shoes and saw the smoke in her bedroom in Fengluan Palace, and strong flames were rising. Many palace maids and eunuchs took water to put out the fire.

She immediately grabbed the eunuch Li, the eunuch in Fengluan Palace, and asked in a deep voice, "When did the fire rise? Is Pan'er still in the side hall? Let's take the little princess out first."

"Fengtong, Feng Qiang and several female officials have already carried the little princess out and directly carried it to the Empress Dowager's Zhaoyang Palace. Let's save the fire first. Empress, go and find a way to carry the little prince to a safe place. The fire is very big and the wind is rising. There should be no way to put out the fire for a while."

The eunuch's words made Xu Muqing feel very uncomfortable. The empress dowager was unconscious, Fengluan Palace was on fire, and her child was infected with a smallpox disease. It was a coincidence that all these things happened.

Could it be that all this was Ji Yingyue colluding with the remnants hidden in the dark and began to plot against her and the people she cared about?

Almost at the same time, her face suddenly sank, and the feeling of being stared at by someone, came again, "Bai Wei, Zhuyu, you go to Zhaoyang Palace to catch Feng Tong, Feng Qiang and others, and see how Pan'er is doing."

After Xu Muqing gave the order, she did not dare to delay any delay. She entered the side hall again, intending to carry out the isolated Ping'er and take it to a safe place where the fire spreads.

However, she was only less than half an incense stick left. When she returned, Ping'er's face was blue and a breath of disappointment filled her, which scared her heart to a point of beating.

"Ping'er--"

Xu Muqing's hands and feet were cold, and there was a flood of fear that surged up. Her child was poisoned again, just under her nose!

But at this moment she didn't have time to be sad because she had to find a way to rescue Ping'er from the gates of hell.

She trembled her hands and quickly took out the silver needle and stabbed it on several acupoints on Ping'er's body, forcing the toxins that entered her body to come out.

After applying the silver needle, she took out the detoxification pill she carried with her, melted it with warm water, and fed it to Ping'er and took it.

Not long after, Ping'er showed pain on her face and let out a black, foul-smelling dirty look.

She hugged the weak child and patted Ping'er's face gently. A trembling voice rang out, "Pinger, you're fine. Those bad poison ladies have already urged you to vomit. Let's leave here first."

The heat waves were surging, and the fire on the other side of the main hall had already blown towards this side with the wind. The smoke was rolling, and no one could control the fire.

Xu Muqing and the palace maid guarding the side hall carried Ping'er out and placed it in a place where the fire could not spread.

The Fengluan Palace was actually surrounded by raging fire tongues. No matter how much water the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards beat the fire, it was useless.

She looked at the magnificent palace with heartache and was engulfed by flames, angry and anxious, but she had no choice.

Xu Muqing also secretly remembered that Ping'er was poisoned and almost died in the palace. She left herself. After Bai Wei and Zhu Yu went to Zhaoyang Palace to chase Pan'er, all the palace maids and nannies who stayed in the palace were very suspicious.

However, the scene is now chaotic, and she can't help but question and deal with the traitors in Fengluan Palace for the time being. She can only secretly swallow her anger and hatred.

The poison in Ping'er was clearly the poison of Nanyue, not owned by Liang, which proved that someone in the Liang Palace colluded with the spies from Nanyue, and wanted to destroy her and Xiao Linye's family, and she was in pain, but that was definitely not what she wanted to see.

Xu Muqing no longer dared to hand over the child to the palace maids and nanny to take care of her. She kept guarding Ping'er, fed him medicine, wiped the sweat on his head and body, and applied plaster to him so that he would not feel so uncomfortable.

Just when the fire was so busy that it could not be controlled, God seemed to have guessed her worries and anxiety. The wind blew and lightning, and thunder were heard. Not long after, the heavy rain fell and poured on the fire. It lasted for more than half an hour and extinguished the fire.

Most of the entire Fengluan Palace was burned down, with ruins everywhere, and the black ashes made people feel distressed even after seeing them.

"Bingchan, go and see why Bai Wei and Zhu Yu have not come back yet. What's wrong with Pan'er's place? Could it be that he is in trouble?"

Xu Muqing was guarding Ping'er, her eyelids were twitching violently, and a chill broke out from her spine. It was the feeling that was stared at by a poisonous snake, which made her creepy again.

Bingchan took her order and retreated.

In less than a stick of incense, Bai Wei and Zhu Yu looked sad and were almost crying. They came back directly and knelt in front of her with a plop, "Empress, no, the little princess is gone."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, which made Xu Muqing's eyes dark, and her heart seemed to be clenched by both hands, which hurt so much that she was almost breathless.

"What does the little princess disappear? Isn't it the one who Feng Qiang and Feng Tong protect Pan'er? Are those palace maids with great martial arts skills the most loyal and trustworthy confidants of the emperor? Why did Pan'er disappear?"

Xu Muqing almost roared and asked such words. Her tears couldn't help but fall, and she almost went crazy.

Her son is now infected with smallpox and has not recovered completely. Now her daughter has been kidnapped again. What is this?

Bai Wei and Zhu Yu felt so guilty that they wanted to hang themselves on a rope.

"I don't know what's going on. Feng Qiang and Feng Tong said that they were holding the little princess to the Zhaoyang Palace. Suddenly, they heard a very strange laugh in their ears, as if they were walking in the dark underworld, and they were drowsy.

When I wake up again, I don’t understand what’s going on.”

"Then Feng Qiang and Feng Tong found that the little princess who were originally held in her hands disappeared. No matter how they looked for it, they would never find anyone again. Empress, I don't understand why things were so sudden." Zhuyu bit her lip and lowered her head and said guiltily, hoping that she would be the one who was kidnapped, not Pan'er.

"What are you doing while standing there? Let's block all the exits of the palace and the exits of the city gates. We will guard the road that we must go back to Nanyue. She must not have anything to do."

Xu Muqing shouted loudly, and she fell to the ground, feeling so uncomfortable that she was almost suffocating. Her tears were like a flood like a dam, and she couldn't stop it.

But she couldn't leave at this time. She was worried about Pan'er. However, Ping'er was poisoned. She still didn't know whether there was any subsequent reaction. She always had to wait here for his health to recover completely.

Bai Wei and Zhu Yu felt that they were sinners. No matter what harsh or ugly words their Empress said, they kept it in a desperate situation, and did not dare to have any complaints or excuses.

"I'll let you go to find the little princess now. Don't worry, my grandmother. Those people will definitely not run far. The guards and palace maids will definitely find a way to save the little princess."

Xu Muqing didn't listen to the comfort of the two palace maids at all. She sobbed, "Those Nanyue spies are clearly colluding with the hidden remnants in the palace, otherwise how could they take Pan'er away so smoothly? What kind of evil did I do in my previous life? God would use this method to punish me."

"Pan'er, you must not have anything to do. Wait for your parents to save you."

Bai Wei swallowed and plucked up the courage and said, "Empress, I will go to Zhaoyang Palace to tell the emperor that the little princess is missing and has been kidnapped. Can you please let the emperor come back and find a way?"

No matter how smart and capable their masters are, they are guarding the little prince who is sick and the missing little princess. They can't take care of some things, so let the emperor share some of them.

"What are you doing while standing there? Go and call the emperor here quickly. Let the imperial physician and Su Mujing guard the Empress Dowager." Xu Muqing's eyes were red, and her eyes were dark, as if only decay and gray were left in her world, and she gave birth to disappointment and heartache.

Bai Wei and Zhu Yu received her order and soon mobilized the guards to find the little princess.

Xu Muqing hugged Ping'er, and the painful and depressing crying was particularly clear in the room, making people cry, "Pinger, your sister will definitely be fine, right? You two are twins, you can both be healthy and get better as soon as possible."

She even hated Ji Yingyue and Huo Shu in her heart. It was obvious that those people had been causing trouble for her and refused to let her live a good life. Now they are harming her children again.

Xu Muqing didn't even know when such a day would end.

When Xiao Linye rushed over from Zhaoyang Palace, he saw the scene of his wife kneeling on the ground and lying in front of Ping'er's bed crying. His heart was also hurt.

"Mu Qing, I have heard about Pan'er. I'll come and see you first. The guards have searched the entire palace. I guess they shouldn't run far, they should be in this palace."

Xu Muqing threw herself into Xiao Linye's arms. The huge pressure and extreme pain made her unable to bear it anymore, and tears flowed down her body.

"Husband, our children will definitely return to us safely, right? Ping'er was infected with the poison of the South Vietnamese country just now. If it weren't for the timely discovery, Ping'er would have died.

And Pan'er, are those Nanyue people not going to hurt her, right?"

Just thinking that Pan'er fell into the hands of two evil men, Ji Yingyue and Huo Shujing, Xu Muqing was about to go crazy. She didn't even dare to think about what kind of torture Pan'er would endure.

Xiao Linye felt very distressed, and took a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears on her face, and patiently analyzed the interests with her, "Mu Qing, listen to me to explain to you, things are not as bad as you think. The spies in Nanyue only dared to let Ping'er get infected with smallpox, but Pan'er is very healthy, which shows that Pan'er has important value to them."

"Otherwise they don't have to go through a lot of trouble to kidnap Pan'er and kill Pan'er directly in the palace. Don't you understand such a simple and easy-to-understand truth?"

Xu Muqing opened her eyes wide and her tears stopped. She said in disbelief, "You mean, they want to take Pan'er back to the country of Nanyue, and Pan'er has what they want. But Pan'er is a child, a young child who is less than one year old. What do Huo Shujing and the others want to get from Pan'er?"

However, after she said this, she thought of something and kept her mouth shut, her face becoming even more ugly. Her eyes that were so beautiful that they were even a little overly over-looking were filled with deeper concerns.

"You mean they want to get Pan'er's blood in their hearts, the immortal medicine introduction, they have given up taking it from me, and now they have put their ideas on Pan'er. Is that what does that mean?"

The more I think about her, the more I am afraid. Her daughter is still so young. Is there still a way out after taking so much blood?

"Master, I don't want my daughter to be a victim of the Nanyue people's elixir of immortality. Our daughter should have a rich and happy life. She cannot be taken away by the priests and elders."

As she said that, her eyes turned red again, and her body trembled uncontrollably, "Your Majesty, you must find a way to stop the group of Nanyue people and recover our daughter. Xiangyi, she just didn't want to be a sacrifice, so she escaped from the Moon Worshiping Sect. Pan'er must not repeat the same mistake."

Xu Muqing cried so hard that her tears were almost dry. "And Ji Yingyue, if Pan'er fell into the hands of that vicious woman, would she treat our daughter kindly? I really feel very painful. How could Pan'er get into such a thing?"

Xiao Linye felt her despair and fear, and couldn't help but hug her tighter, "Mu Qing, I have everything. Don't be afraid. Whether it's Ping'er or Pan'er, they are all our children. As a father, I will definitely find a way to save them and protect them in the future, so that the same thing will not happen again."

Xu Muqing bit her lip, and a fishy and sweet smell spread on the tip of her tongue. A sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared in her mind, "They must have left the secret passage. Husband, do you understand how many secret passages are there in the palace? "

In addition to knowing two or three more important escape secret passages, Xiao Linye really doesn't know whether there are other ones.

"Shu Tai Concubine, she is Xiao Lince's mother. If you want to say that the whole harem hates us the most, there will be no one else except her. If Ji Yingyue wants to cooperate with the remnants of the palace, Shu Tai Concubine is definitely the best collaborator. Emperor, otherwise you can ask someone to interrogate Shu Tai Concubine to see if there is any result."

Xu Muqing's words made Xiao Linye feel enlightened, "Why didn't I expect that before? Muqing, then you take good care of Ping'er here. I will take someone to Concubine Shu's side and must ask her about Pan'er's whereabouts."

His daughter should be the proud daughter of heaven who is holding her in her palm and pampering her with love, and should not be regarded as the medicine for immortality by the priests of Nanyue and the elders of the Moon Worshiping Sect.

"Go quickly, and block the only way back to Nanyue. The emperor, no matter what the cost is, he must bring Pan'er back. Pan'er is our child, and she should not become a victim of Nanyue people's medicine refining."

She almost cried and said these words to Xiao Linye, and almost knelt down to Xiao Linye.

"Pan'er is not only your daughter, but also my daughter. I don't want Pan'er to have anything to do. You wait for my news and ask Concubine Shu before deciding what to do next."
