She originally didn't want to care about that eunuch, but this eunuch might be the only person in the palace who was loyal to Dongfang Yexuan.
Chaoge admired such a person. Chaoge also wanted Dongfang Yexuan to have one more person to give him advice. Even if he could not give him advice, with one more person helping Dongfang Yexuan, the crisis of Dongxiang State could be resolved sooner.
When Chaoge came out, it was still calm outside. She pretended to be cautious and walked towards the imperial kitchen.
As soon as she came out, she regretted it.
If the guard had not warned her to put her things down and leave the moment she entered the bedroom, she would not have been so cautious. She was really afraid that if she was a little slow, the people outside would become suspicious and break in.
Just now, she should have taken advantage of the time when Dongfang Yexuan was awake to ask him if he knew the whereabouts of Dongfang Mu.
But soon, Queen Rong will go to the bedroom, and then they will find that Dongfang Yexuan is missing.
No, Dongfang Yexuan is also very important, let’s get him out of the palace first!
As Chaoge expected, Queen Rong soon came to Dongfang Yexuan's bedroom.
When she walked into the bedroom and looked at the empty dragon bed, she was completely stunned!
With Dongfang Yexuan's broken body, even if he woke up, he would not have the strength to get out of bed!
"Zhao Xin!"
Queen Rong roared, and Zhao Xin, who was happily running back with his pants held up, suddenly heard this angry roar.
He reacted with a start and flew towards the bedroom in fear!
"Meet the Queen!"
"Where are the people?"
Zhao Xin walked into the hall and bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
Queen Rong's anger had reached its peak, and a low sound of gnashing teeth was heard, but Zhao Xin only felt infinite murderous intent enveloping his whole body.
Zhao Xin was confused and looked towards the dragon couch behind Queen Rong.
And the dragon couch was empty. Where was the trace of Dongfang Yexuan?
Zhao Xin trembled!
"Someone come!"
When Zhao Xin's voice sounded, Deputy Commander Zhang Hai hurried in and was about to salute, but a slap came directly on his face!
Zhang Hai was stunned by Zhao Xin's slap, and subconsciously knelt down on one knee and saluted with his fists!
"Where is he? Dongfang Yexuan is missing. I asked you to keep a close eye on him. What are you doing?!"
Without waiting for Queen Rong to explode, Zhao Xin kicked Zhang Hai on the shoulder while he was kneeling on the ground, and roared!
Queen Rong looked at the two of them and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"You guys lost the person even though you still haven't got half of the tiger talisman. You are really capable!"
"Reporting to the Queen, I was patrolling outside the door before and didn't see it at all..."
Zhang Hai tried his best to explain, but halfway through his words, the voice of the imperial chef serving the meal suddenly rang out, and he suddenly seemed to react!
"Zhang Hai, what's that expression on your face?"
Seeing the realization on Zhang Hai's face, Zhao Xin picked him up from the ground and said angrily.
In Zhao Xin's opinion, Zhang Hai at this time was just trying to find excuses for his dereliction of duty.
He even suspected that Zhang Hai had deliberately let Dongfang Yexuan go when he was away.
Faced with the terrifying look from his immediate boss, Zhang Hai hurriedly waved his hands, signaling Zhao Xin to calm down!
"Commander Zhao, please don't misunderstand me. Just now, when your stomach suddenly hurt, didn't the imperial kitchen come to serve you food?
It's him, it's him, definitely him!"
After hearing Zhang Hai's explanation, Zhao Xin frowned and threw Zhang Hai to the ground. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He turned his head to Queen Rong and knelt on one knee on the ground. "Reporting to the Queen, I did go to the toilet just now because I was worried about this place. It took less than a quarter of an hour and I am back now.
Zhang Hai is right. There was indeed someone from the imperial kitchen who came to serve the meal just now. Perhaps the problem lies with that person."
After hearing the two people's explanation, Queen Rong's face became even uglier.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Xin was the commander of the imperial guards, she would have wanted to kill this idiot!
"Stop talking nonsense. This entire hall is surrounded by three layers of defense. Even if a fly passes by, it will not be let go.
Even if the imperial chef came in to deliver the meal, how did he take Dongfang Yexuan away under the eyes of so many guards?!"
Listening to what the two said, Queen Rong found it ridiculous!
Not to mention taking a living person out of there, even taking a cat or a dog out is not that easy!
After hearing what Queen Rong said, Zhao Xin and Zhang Hai looked at each other silently, and there was a sudden realization in their eyes.
"Indeed, what the queen said is true, but the fact is that when you just left, Commander Zhao, the cook went in to deliver the meal and then came out. It took less than half a cup of tea. During the rest of that time, no one came at all."
"Come here, capture Zhang Hai for me first!"
Queen Rong no longer wanted to listen to their explanation. Now that the person was missing, the first thing to do was to capture him.
If they keep talking nonsense to each other, they might leave the palace.
Soon, Zhang Hai's cry for injustice gradually faded away, and Queen Rong looked at Zhao Xin with a cold gaze.
"Commander Zhao, you are the confidant of the King of Qi. Since you have surrendered to the King of Qi, he will certainly not treat you unfairly when he ascends the throne. But you should not have failed to do your duty at this critical moment."
Zhao Xin pursed his lips and bowed to Queen Rong again, "It is my fault for failing in my duty. I will immediately lead my subordinates to surround the palace and find Dongfang Yexuan as soon as possible."
"Um."
Queen Rong responded lightly through her nose, but the chill still lingered all over her body.
After Zhao Xin left the bedroom, Queen Rong looked around the entire bedroom again.
"Search this bedroom from top to bottom for me. I don't believe it. If the person didn't leave through the main gate, how could he disappear out of thin air?
Unless there is a secret compartment or an underground passage in this bedroom."
Chaoge took advantage of the fact that Zhao Xin's subordinates had not surrounded the entire palace, and not only left the palace in one breath, but also left the imperial city of Dongxiangguo, ran to a deep mountain three hundred miles away, found a cave, and then released the two from the space.
There was nothing in the cave. While the two were still asleep, she took out a broom and simply swept the spider webs in the cave. She then took out some straw and spread it on the ground. She then took out a few quilts and new clothes, some food, and her medicine box. Finally, she removed the human skin mask on her face.
Even after she had prepared the porridge, Chao Ge took out the silver needle and woke Dongfang Yexuan up.
In the dim cave, the faint light of fire shone on the stone wall. Everything was so unfamiliar that Dongfang Yexuan, who was already terminally ill, wondered if he had fallen into hell.
