The maid hesitated for a while, and then said: "Madam, I just heard someone say... The prince is not in the East Palace anymore. Someone discovered it just now. Maybe he left the palace?"
The queen was a little skeptical.
What does the prince do when he leaves the palace?
Moreover, the prince, like himself, was temporarily placed under house arrest in the East Palace by the emperor.
It was because of the uproar about the prince's fostering of prostitutes during this period that many courtiers in the court had already petitioned to depose the prince.
So the emperor was furious and put the prince under house arrest in the East Palace.
She squeezed her hands.
The feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.
In order for Rui'er to gain the title of crown prince, she tolerated the emperor's decision to let Xiao Qihan inherit the title of Prince Yongyi at the age of twenty, and tolerated that woman's son living to this day and even dominating in front of her.
Yes, Xiao Qihan is where he is today because she exchanged Ruier's position as the crown prince.
She didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but she knew that Xiao Qihan's status in the emperor's heart was definitely not comparable to that of Rui'er and the third prince.
Even though, he might be praising Xiao Qihan for killing him.
But because he is the son of that woman, he is already different from others.
"I don't know why, but I always have a bad premonition." Empress Zhao said worriedly: "Maybe I have to send a letter to my father."
…
Wan Zheng has been waiting at the door for a long time.
All the Feiyunqi in the mansion left today.
The masters who originally guarded the princess also went out with His Royal Highness.
Although Yan Qing didn't say anything to her, it was obvious that His Royal Highness came here for the sake of the Crown Princess.
So, the lady should also come back, right?
Just when Wan Zheng was waiting anxiously, the sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly came, and the sound got closer and closer.
Immediately afterwards, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, riding a horse lightly, was seen galloping towards him with a figure in his arms.
Behind him were the Eighteen Flying Cloud Riders with flying cloaks.
Like thousands of troops and horses, rushing towards them.
He didn't even wait for the horse to arrive at the door of his house. He jumped up and used Qinggong to land in front of the palace before the horse.
Wan Zheng immediately greeted her in surprise, "Your Highness! Is the Crown Princess back?"
Xiao Qihan ignored her, and quickly walked in with the person in his arms with a gloomy expression.
Wan Zheng could recognize at a glance that the person in His Highness's arms was the Crown Princess from the vague figure.
Just when he was about to be surprised, he saw the blood and festering flesh all over her body.
She suddenly froze on the spot.
The eyes secreted tears unconsciously and turned red.
"how so……"
Yanqing and Yanhong also walked in quickly.
Yan Qing ordered: "What are you still doing? Why don't you go prepare hot water and clothes?"
Wan Zheng reacted and immediately turned around and ran back without waiting for Yan Qing to continue.
Yan Qing frowned, "This girl..."
Yanhong took a step forward and glanced at Yanqing.
"This girl was trained by the Crown Princess. She is so cruel and ruthless that even I can't compare with you. Do you want to be a spoiled child?"
Yan Qing looked stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react, frowning, "What are you talking about?"
Yan Hong raised an eyebrow, and then followed her in.
When Li Ruo fell asleep, she only felt that there was a very warm embrace hugging her.
Never left.
His warm hands traced his body bit by bit, caressing every inch of her skin.
