In fact, Xiao Wenyu has long discovered that the empress has gradually become a little different from the past since she became the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This may be the change brought about by power. The empress often summons foreign wives, and those wives are naturally respectful to her Yes, the few concubines in the palace did not dare to provoke her, which caused her mentality to change.

Just as Xiao Wenyu was thinking, the queen looked at Xiao Wenyu in disbelief, and said in a choked voice.

"Is Your Majesty blaming your concubines?"

Is this still the gentle majesty who coaxed her from before?

Xiao Wenyu didn't want to argue with the queen in front of his parents, so he turned to look at his parents: "Father, mother, don't worry, the NPC behind the scenes has taken great pains to rob the prince, there must be some purpose, they will not do it without authorization."

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao nodded, but they still didn't dare to be careless, they turned their heads to look at Princess Xiao Yue.

"What does this have to do with the princess?"

Xiao Wenyu told the story of Xiao Yue cooperating with the people behind him and tampering in the palace.

Xie Yunjin's face was indescribably gloomy. He walked up to Xiao Yue and stood still: "Princess, if something happens to the crown prince, you will be a sinner of Dazhou, and you will have no place to die?"

Xiao Yue's face became paler, and at this moment she was also afraid, and tears flowed down uncontrollably: "I am wrong."

After hearing Xiao Yue's words, the queen rushed over angrily and grabbed her, shaking her for a while: "Why did you do this, the crown prince calls you aunt, he is so young, you actually hurt her like this, you will die badly."

Xie Yunjin frowned and looked at the queen and said, "Calm down, empress."

The queen cried out, "Jing'er doesn't know what's going on right now, how can you tell me to be calm?"

Xie Yunjin said angrily: "You will only delay saving the prince, instead of helping the prince. Right now we need to find out the whereabouts of the prince and try to rescue the prince. Crying will not solve the problem."

Xiao Wenyu gave an order with bored eyes: "Come here, send the queen back to the palace."

The queen said immediately: "I won't leave."

Xiao Wenyu looked at her coldly: "This is the will."

The queen didn't say a word, but there was a layer of resentment in her eyes.

Zhou Youjin came to invite her, but she turned around and took him away.

Xie Yunjin went to ask Xiao Yue: "Princess, what does the person looking for you look like, are there any obvious features, whether he speaks with an accent, and his appearance, is he a dignitary in Beijing or an ordinary person?"

After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, she said slowly: "Princess, you'd better think carefully before answering. If you can save the prince, it will be a redemption for you."

Xiao Yue also knew that the matter has come to this point, only by saving the prince can she avoid so many crimes.

She tried her best to recall the person she had dealt with: "That person is tall, dressed in black, with a black square on his face, but I can guess that he is not very old, at most in his twenties."

Listening to Xiao Yue's words, Xie Yunjin frowned unconsciously. There are a lot of people like this in the capital, and they are really nothing special.

Xiao Yue saw Xie Yunjin frown, thinking hard, suddenly she thought of a detail, and called out: "I remembered, that person's little finger was short, like a severed finger, and he gave me the feeling that both It's not like the dignitaries in Beijing, nor like ordinary people, but it looks like it?"

After thinking about it hard, Xiao Yue suddenly said, "It's a bit like a Jiang Hu person."

After she finished speaking, she nodded affirmatively: "Yes, he looks like a Jianghu."

Xie Yunjin and Xiao Wenyu heard Qiqi's turn and looked at each other: "People from Jianghu?"

Was it someone from the Jianghu who robbed the prince? Those people and the imperial court have always kept the water in the water, how did they get involved in this matter?

Xiao Wenyu issued an order: "Come here, take the princess down to see and take it up."

Zhou Youjin immediately led someone to detain Xiao Yue. At this time, Xiao Yue didn't dare to resist at all, at least she didn't let her die immediately.

But just after the princess was taken out, Jiang Cisu rushed over with his eldest son and second son.

"I have seen His Majesty."

Xiao Wenyu glanced at them and motioned them to get up.

The father and son of the Jiang family knew that the crown prince had been robbed at this time, and now that His Majesty came to the princess' mansion, I am afraid that this matter has something to do with the princess.

The faces of the father and son were indescribably pale: "Your Majesty, did my daughter-in-law do something? I don't know anything."

Xiao Yue's husband, Jiang Liu, said quickly: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything. The princess usually has a very temper. If something goes wrong, she will drive me out of the princess mansion. This time, I was kicked out again by her. In the princess mansion."

Jiang Liu said bitterly, the concubine's princess is really pitiful, the royal family's Qianzhi Yuye has a big temper, and will get angry if something goes wrong, Jiang Liu usually would rather stay in Jiang's house than come Princess House.

Xiao Wenyu listened to the words of Jiang's father and son, glanced at them, and found that their faces were pale, but their eyes were clear, and waved his hand: "I will investigate later, if it is found out that you have not mixed up in this matter, you will not be implicated because of the princess." to your heads."

This was also a reassurance, and the Jiang family father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Wenyu left Jiang Cifu behind, and a few people waited for the search situation at the Five Cities Army Masi Xia Wangtian's side.

As a result, Xia Wangtian did not find anyone in the capital.

"Your Majesty, I led troops to search the entire capital, but did not find the whereabouts of the crown prince."

Xiao Wenyu's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the prince was taken away by them?"

Xie Yunjin immediately vetoed it: "Impossible. As soon as the prince disappeared, I ordered someone to go to Wucheng Bingmasi to inform Commander Xia. It is impossible for the other party to have the opportunity to take the prince away from the capital. The prince must still be in the capital right now."

Xie Yunjin looked at Xia Wangtian, and said quickly, "Have you checked everything out?"

"We searched everything, and found no suspicious traces."

In the main hall, everyone was silent for a moment. Xie Yunjin frowned and looked at Xia Wangtian in thought for a while: "Have you checked out the civilian area of ​​Dongcheng? That place is complicated."

In fact, the rich area is relatively easy to search, because each household occupies a large area, and it is easier to bring people to search, and then conduct a search against the population of each household, and it is easy to reveal flaws once you check, but the Dongcheng civilian area is relatively mixed. With a large population, it is troublesome and messy to search, and it is easy to hide people.

If he was the other party, he would definitely hide the crown prince in a civilian area in Dongcheng.

After hearing Xie Yunjin's words, Xia Wangtian immediately clasped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, due to the large population in the Dongcheng area, the search operations are too large to disturb the people, so I basically check people according to their household registration, and did not go into the detailed indoor search. .”

Xie Yunjin immediately looked at Xiao Wenyu and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you focus on searching the Dongcheng District. Of course, don't conduct a large-scale house search. That would be too disturbing to the people. We can send people from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to investigate secretly. Those people arrested the prince. , will definitely send someone to guard the prince, Dongcheng District is a civilian area, in such a place, ordinary people do not have any guards at all, if such an abnormality is found, there must be something abnormal."

Xiao Wenyu's eyes immediately lit up. That's right, Dongcheng District is full of ordinary people. If anyone has guards or something, there must be something abnormal.
