Chapter 166: My Son is Missing

Emperor Rongcheng nodded, looked at Jiang Xianhao's pale face, and quickly ordered people to bring his sedan chair and sent her back.

After sending Jiang Xianhao away, Concubine Hui stood in the cold wind for half an hour, and now she felt a chill all over her body.

Only after Jiang Xianhao left did the two of them arrive at the Heavenly Prison.

As soon as she reached the gate of the Heavenly Prison, Concubine Hui smiled triumphantly.

At this moment, Chen Hechuan is probably still hugging his son and crying.

When Emperor Rongcheng finds out that Shen Hechuan not only disobeyed the imperial order but also escaped from prison, he will probably be extremely angry and completely disappointed in Shen Hechuan.

Jiang Xianhao thought that as long as she could win over Emperor Rongcheng, she could let her son rest assured.

However, she was wrong. Shen Hechuan now had the biggest weakness.

Gu Jingchun and her son Gu Jinxi.

As long as the two of them are around, Shen Hechuan will never have peace.

Today is a perfect example of this.

Concubine Hui thought so and walked in with Emperor Rongcheng.

It was very dark inside the prison, and Concubine Hui subconsciously grabbed Emperor Rongcheng's hand.

Emperor Rongcheng patted her soothingly and only let go of her hand after she got used to the dim light in the sky prison.

Therefore, Concubine Hui was very moved. She took the lead in walking forward and exclaimed when she saw the empty cell.

"Your Majesty, why are these cells open?"

"Where are the people inside?"

"Isn't that a prison break?"

Concubine Hui looked at the person lying on the ground again.

"This person... was he knocked unconscious by someone?"

Concubine Hui looked at Emperor Rongcheng and said:

"What can we do? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first disobeyed the imperial order and now he has escaped from prison.

This is simply too audacious!"

As Concubine Hui spoke, she saw that Emperor Rongcheng's expression was getting uglier. She chuckled in her heart and continued to add fuel to the fire:

"Your Majesty, the prison escape must not be tolerated. If this gets out, where will your dignity be?"

"If you don't punish him, how will you lead the court officials in the future?"

Emperor Rongcheng's face had turned completely black.

Hearing this, he immediately shouted.

"Someone come."

The officials following him were now trembling with fear.

He didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "Your Majesty..."

"Please listen to my explanation."

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the sound of someone stretching.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Shen Hechuan walking out of the cell.

"you……"

"Why are you here?"

When Concubine Hui saw Chen Hechuan, her eyes widened in shock and she spoke immediately.

"Your Majesty, what you said is very strange. I was imprisoned by my father. If I am not here, then where should I be?"

Concubine Hui was choked up, and before she could speak, she heard the official kneeling on the ground ask doubtfully:

"Since His Royal Highness is still in prison, who is the person in the other cell?"

Concubine Hui was confused.

She mechanically turned her head and looked at the exquisitely decorated cell with the door open. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Then, the official continued, "Oh, I understand. This is the prison cell of His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

"Um."

Shen Hechuan nodded.

"He beat the old man, snatched the key, opened the door himself and escaped."

Shen Hechuan said casually.

"He wanted me to keep running, but I felt that since I had made a mistake, I should stay here and accept my punishment. I absolutely could not run away without permission."

Concubine Hui shuddered, and without caring about anything else, she immediately retorted, "Impossible."

"Rui'er is so well-behaved and sensible, how could he do such a thing? It's obvious that you framed him."

Concubine Hui pointed at Chen Hechuan and angrily scolded him, "It's obvious that you did it on purpose. Tell me, where did you take my Rui'er?"

Shen Hechuan shook his head.

"What do you mean, Madam? I'm already in prison, how could I possibly have such a skill?"

"You're lying. How could you be in jail? You clearly..."

Concubine Hui paused as she spoke, almost letting the cat out of the bag, and quickly stopped.

But Emperor Rongcheng couldn't stand it any longer.

Just shout angrily.

"Shut up!"

After he finished speaking, he looked up and down at Shen Hechuan, and finally looked at Concubine Hui.

"Why don't you send someone to see where your good son has gone?"

After saying that, the man walked out angrily.

Wait until Emperor Rongcheng leaves.

Chen Hechuan then took out the pair of muddy shoes from the straw pile, handed them to his men, and secretly threw them out for disposal.

Poor Prince Rui had just returned to his bedroom and lay down when he was taken to Wanhe Hall.

He looked at the gloomy face of Emperor Rongcheng and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your son greets His Majesty, Father."

Emperor Rongcheng snorted coldly and turned to look at Concubine Hui.

"What do you have to say now?"

Concubine Hui looked at Prince Rui and now wanted to kill him.

When Prince Rui learned the truth in prison, he jumped up in anger.

"That's not the case, Father. It was clearly the Crown Prince who opened the door and escaped. My cell door was also open at the time, so I followed him out.

Besides, I have no other thoughts. I just want to go back to the palace to take a good bath and have a good sleep. I have absolutely no other thoughts!"

"The prince is staying in prison well, how could he get out?"

"I think it's obvious that you are making random inferences."

When Prince Rui heard this, he immediately looked at Concubine Hui.

Just as Concubine Hui was calm before, she is now as devastated.

She never thought that her son would be so stupid and fall into Shen Hechuan's trap one after another.

At this moment, she actually felt powerless.

The deeper the preparations she had made in front of Emperor Rongcheng before, the more hatred she felt now.

Unexpectedly, in the end, all of this happened to his son.

In the end, King Rui was imprisoned again.

Concubine Hui worked hard for a long time, but in the end it was all in vain.

She was so angry that she threw everything in the room.

"Chen Hechuan, just wait, sooner or later I will trample you under my feet."

But why hasn't the person she sent returned yet?

He's just a child, he shouldn't be unable to succeed now.

Then when did Chen Hechuan return?

Did her plan fail?

This is impossible!

Here, Concubine Hui was caught in an uneasy wait.

And at this time, Gu Jingchun was on the other side.

It was getting late and dark.

The Queen Mother had been settled in, and Gu Jingchun personally brought food to her.

The Queen Mother rested for a while and didn't want to eat, but when she saw the dish, she couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and take a bite.

I didn't expect that after just one bite, I would never put my chopsticks down again.

She looked at Gu Jingchun in surprise and thought, this girl is so good at cooking that she ate too much without realizing it.

After the Empress Dowager finished eating, she had to ask Nanny Li to help her digest the food.
