Jiang Jingyue's question startled Jiu Gongting. When he went in, he saw the wet nurses lying there. He didn't go in to check on the children to make sure they had all been taken away.

"Yuebao, wait a moment, I'll go take a look now."

After saying this, Jiugongting hurriedly ran to the next room.

Jiang Jingyue didn't care about anything else at this moment. Anyway, she had the medicine given to her by her space, and she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

So she immediately followed Jiugongting to the place where the neighbor's child lived.

When Jiang Jingyue saw the mess on the other side, her legs went weak.

Suddenly, a very loud baby's cry came from inside, and Jiugongting rushed inside immediately.

A short while later, he came out carrying a child.

When he saw Jiang Jingyue outside, he became somewhat anxious.

"Yuebao, why did you come out? You're still in your postpartum period, you shouldn't come out, otherwise you'll develop health problems later."

"Go inside and lie down quickly. Trust me, I will definitely bring your children back, okay?"

Although Jiugongting said that, Jiang Jingyue was still worried and wanted to go find it herself.

Jiugongting simply couldn't bear to let Jiang Jingyue, who was still in postpartum confinement, go out.

"No, Yuebao, you have to trust me. I promise you I will find the child today. Just give me one day, okay?"

Looking at Jiu Gongting's determined gaze, Jiang Jingyue was somewhat incredulous, but in the end, she nodded.

"Your Majesty, I will wait for you to bring the child back to me. Please give the little princess to me. I can take good care of her."

When Jiugongting heard this, he didn't say anything more, nodded, and then led his people out.

Jiang Jingyue immediately expressed her heartache.

"Tongzi, Tongzi, come out quickly! Do you know who took my child away?"

When the system heard Jiang Jingyue ask this question, it was somewhat puzzled. After hearing the general outline of the matter, the system could only tell Jiang Jingyue.

"Host, we currently have no way of finding out who it is, but what we can confirm is that your child is still in the palace, in the southeast direction."

Hearing the system say this, Jiang Jingyue was somewhat disappointed, as she did not get what she wanted to know.

"Alright, I'll have someone search in the southeast direction right now, hopefully we can find it."

Jiang Jingyue stood up immediately. Although she had verbally agreed to Jiugongting's request, she was not going to sit idly by and wait for her fate.

She'd definitely go find any clue she could find herself.

After all, she doesn't even know how her child is doing now, so she definitely has to go find him herself.

When the Empress Dowager learned that her children were missing, she was so overwhelmed with grief that she fainted.

Jiang Jingyue had already arrived at her destination following the system's guidance. Looking at the place in front of her, she could hardly believe that her child was really inside.

"Tongzi, are you sure my child was brought here? Who is it that took my child away, and what do they want?"

Jiang Jingyue didn't bring anyone with her; she went in by herself.

"Host, are you sure you're not bringing any people with you? Based on my guess, there are quite a few people inside. If you go in alone, you might end up alerting them instead of getting the child back."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue agreed that it made sense, so she turned around and returned to her own palace, sending a message to the Nine Palaces.

She hoped that Jiugongting could get there in time.

When Jiugongting received the news, he rushed over immediately.

He never imagined that the matter of the child was actually orchestrated by Consort De.

Seeing Consort De suddenly appear here, Jiu Gongting couldn't help but look at Su De beside him.

Su De was startled when he saw Consort De, mainly because he remembered that he had clearly sent Consort De to the imperial prison!

Why is Consort De here now?

“Your Majesty, I don’t know the details of this matter either, but I can confirm that I personally escorted Consort De inside that day.”

The Nine Palaces knew that now was not the time to dwell on this matter; the most important thing now was to get Consort De to hand over the child.

"Consort De, what exactly do you want? Where are the children? Hand them over, or I will not let you off the hook."

Consort De was holding a child in her arms at the time, and her eyes lit up when she saw Jiu Gongting coming over.

"Your Majesty, you've finally arrived! Did you come to see me and the children? Look, I've given birth to three little princes for you all at once. Are you happy, Your Majesty?"

The Emperor sensed that Consort De's emotions seemed off at this moment, as if she were somewhat possessed.

However, Jiugongting knew that the most important thing right now was the child's matter.

Consort De over there was still waving at the Nine Palaces.

"Your Majesty, come here! Come and see our little princes, there are so many of them, they're so cute!"

Looking at Consort De's condition, Jiu Gongting was certain that Consort De was mentally unstable at the moment.

When Jiugongting learned of this, he became even more worried. He was mainly concerned that the abnormal Consort De might do something to the child again.

Therefore, Jiugongting felt that the most important thing now was to calm Consort De down and prevent her from doing anything to the child.

Seeing that Consort De was still waving at him, Jiugongting slowly approached her.

He continued to speak softly to Consort De in front of him.

"Consort De, slow down, be careful, don't hurt the baby. The baby is still small, be gentle."

Jiugongting never expected that it was just one sentence he said that would make Consort De so excited.

Before the Nine Palaces could react, Consort De's face turned ferocious.

“Your Majesty, you only care about the children and don’t care about me at all. These children should all die. Once they are dead, Your Majesty will definitely love me the most, and the person you will favor the most will definitely be me.”

After saying this, Consort De lifted the child she was holding high in her arms, as if she were about to do something to the child.

Jiugongting was worried that she would drop the child, so he rushed over immediately.

He snatched the child from Consort De's hands as quickly as possible.

The moment I took the child from you, the child burst into tears.
