Chapter 153 It turns out that she already had a guess

Quan Minghe paused with his pen in his hand, frowned, and looked up at Xitong who was kneeling on the ground.

He said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"

Xitong was frightened out of her wits.

He said in panic, "Your Majesty, in fact, a few days ago, Zhao Qizi came to see the queen and brought the medicine jar of Zhou Taiyi. He also said that there was safflower juice on the medicine jar. Zhao Qizi was afraid that the queen's child was harmed by someone, so he investigated privately and got the residue of the medicine for the pregnancy at that time."

"I discovered...I discovered that the abortion-preserving drug is actually an abortion drug."

"The queen...she guessed that it was you..."

Xitong was trembling with fear.

Having said this, he did not dare to finish the rest of his treasonous words, but his meaning was very clear.

Quan Minghe's heart sank suddenly, and a chill spread from the bottom of his heart.

No wonder her behavior has been so abnormal these days.

And that day when he accompanied Zhao Qizi to the Weiyang Palace, something was even more wrong. He spoke aggressively and was wholeheartedly protecting Zhao Qizi.

Xi Tong continued to tremble and said, "The Queen has always thought that you wanted to kill Zhao Qizi to silence him and avenge Wang Liangren, so she has been depressed these days and has been in a bad mood..."

Quan Minghe was so angry that he could no longer hold back.

He shouted sternly: "Why are you telling me now?"

The roar echoed in the house, shaking Xitong's body and making her bury her head even lower.

Who dares to say this?

Are you going to question an emperor why he aborted his concubine's child?

"I deserve to die, but... I saw that Her Majesty took the initiative to ease the relationship with you today, and Her Majesty was smiling happily, so I thought that Her Majesty had let it go, but Her Majesty sent me away just now, and when I went back to look for Her Majesty, I couldn't find her."

Xitong kowtowed continuously as she spoke.

She kept muttering, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die..."

Quan Minghe's eyes were dark.

No wonder she always treated me coldly and ignored me after coming back from Merlin.

He actually noticed that something was wrong with her, but he didn't think too deeply about it at the time. He just thought she was just throwing a tantrum and it would get better after a while.

Look, today she came to find me on her own initiative.

So...she asked him to take her out of the palace to relax today. Has she really let it go?

still……

Quan Minghe didn't dare to think any further, and a feeling of fear instantly spread throughout his body.

"Zhao Cong!"

Zhao Cong, who had been guarding the door, heard the shouting and pushed the door open.

He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Concubine Shen is missing, go find her quickly, mobilize all the guards in the imperial city, and make sure to find Concubine Shen!"

“Yes.”

Zhao Cong was shocked when he heard the news. Concubine Shen was missing?

This is no small matter. If anything happens to Concubine Shen, the guards who followed her out today will probably be punished.

He did not dare to delay and quickly got up and went out, asking someone to look for it.

Quan Minghe's dark brows were knitted tightly together, and his eyes were filled with deep worry.

He was restless.

"There is a jewelry stall in the East Market today. I saw that she likes it very much. Will she go there to buy jewelry?"

Quan Minghe looked at Xitong, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from Xitong so that his panicked heart could be calmed down a little.

Before Xitong could respond, he continued, "She also likes the sugar figurines in the West Market very much. Could it be that she went to buy those sugar figurines again?"

At the end, he murmured to himself: "Maybe she just wants to play..."

His voice was extremely low, revealing a reluctance to believe that she had disappeared on purpose, and even more unwilling to think that she might commit suicide.

After all, the affectionate scene when the two of them were shopping together just now is still vivid in her mind.

She leaned against him, smiling sweetly, could it all be fake?

No, she won’t do anything stupid, Quan Minghe comforted himself over and over again in his heart.

He tried to suppress the uneasiness that was spreading deep in his heart, but the uneasiness was like a thorn in his flesh, and it would not go away. It lingered in his mind and made him more and more upset.

Xitong listened to His Majesty's mumbling, and said hesitantly and worriedly: "Your Majesty's recent state in the palace is really not right. If you just want to go out and play, Your Majesty will never leave me alone."

Quan Minghe's knuckles felt cold and he subconsciously turned the ring on his hand, as if trying to force himself to calm down.

After she came to Ganjing, she first married into the Prince's Mansion and then directly entered the palace. She was not familiar with Ganjing at all.

Where could she go alone?

Suddenly, Quan Minghe seemed to remember something.

The highest and most beautiful place...

He whispered, "Did she go to the city wall?"

As this thought came to mind, a chill crept up Quan Minghe's limbs.

He stood up and walked out, bringing up a gust of wind.

Xitong's eyes fell on His Majesty's hurriedly departing back, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Humph, she is not useless after all. Didn’t she perform well today?

Her Majesty is now waiting for His Majesty on the city wall.

As the imperial capital, Ganjing has always been very lively, with a constant stream of people coming in and out of the city gates every day.

The Queen was thoughtful and had made arrangements in advance. She also specially asked several highly skilled soldiers of the Shen family army to disguise themselves as ordinary people today and wait quietly under the city wall, ready to be on duty at all times.

This way, we have double insurance.

Once your Majesty has gone down the city wall, it will be time to watch Her Majesty's "performance". I'm sure the scene will be very exciting.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t watch the show from the sidelines.

Xitong sighed lightly, seeming to have regrets.

Zhao Cong saw His Majesty coming out from the door and followed closely behind him.

I only heard His Majesty's order: "Prepare the horses and go to the city gate."

Zhao Cong did not dare to delay and immediately asked someone to make arrangements.

When Quan Minghe arrived at the door of the restaurant, the horse was ready, the reins were held tightly in someone's hand, and the horse was snorting.

Quan Minghe jumped onto the horse, clamped his legs against the horse's belly, swung the reins, and headed towards the city wall.

The horse's hooves raised clouds of dust, and in the blink of an eye, it ran a long distance away.

As long as Quan Minghe left the palace, Zhao Cong would never leave him alone. He immediately jumped on his horse and followed behind His Majesty, galloping all the way.

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally arrived at the city wall.

Lieutenant Wang was not supposed to be on duty today, but he just heard his subordinates report that Concubine Shen had arrived at the city gate.

He was shocked and feared that something might have happened, so he rushed over.

However, I didn't expect that not long after I arrived, I saw His Majesty riding a horse towards me, with the sound of rapid hooves and a menacing momentum.

Lieutenant Wang stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Quan Minghe had a grim expression, sitting high on his horse, and asked sternly, "Have you seen a woman in white coming to the city wall?"

Lieutenant Wang was startled and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Concubine Shen?"

Quan Minghe's heart skipped a beat. She really came here.

"Where is she?"

Lieutenant Wang could sense that His Majesty seemed to be suppressing his emotions, and his voice was trembling: "City, on the city wall."

He also pointed in the direction of the city wall.

Quan Minghe directly scolded: "Can anyone go to the tower? Who told you to let her go up there?"

When Concubine Shen came, Lieutenant Wang was not here at the time and was not clear about the situation at the time.

At this moment, a soldier on the side said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has your token."

There was a hint of fear in his voice, as if he was afraid that His Majesty's anger would affect him.

Quan Minghe subconsciously touched his chest and was secretly shocked.

He went out of the palace in disguise, but in order to prevent encountering special situations outside the palace, he usually carried a token that could prove his identity.

When did she take it? !

Quan Minghe gritted his teeth, feeling angry and anxious. He immediately dismounted his horse and quickly walked up to the city wall, not daring to delay for a moment.
