Chapter 625 If I return alive, I will repay your kindness.
Xiao Tang frowned as he watched the Empress Dowager disappear.
The palace was deserted, with weeds growing all over the garden, making it look nothing like a place where people usually lived.
Xiao Tang looked at Yan Shi, "Does this child really live here all the time?"
Yan Shi shook his head blankly.
He... didn't know either.
After all, he couldn't explain this matter clearly.
He didn't pay much attention to Di Yanqing on a regular basis. Of course, His Majesty would occasionally ask about him, but never in detail.
“But the young prince usually goes to the royal private school, so I thought he would return to the palace every day.”
There weren't even any servants or guards in the Prince's mansion!
She figured that these people probably moved away a long time ago, let alone that there were any people there.
Moreover, they had been moving for a long time, but none of them knew the details.
Xiao Tang frowned and raised her hand, "Go search the house for any clues."
The guards rushed into the house and searched everywhere.
He returned to Xiao Tang and reported, "Your Majesty, we have found no clues whatsoever!"
Xiao Tang frowned even more as the guard spoke.
She crossed her arms and suddenly turned her head to look elsewhere.
She then told the guards, "Go ask the neighbors if they have any clues, and ask if anyone in the neighborhood has seen Di Yanqing."
That brat.
Was this something that had been planned for a long time?
Is this still the same Di Yanqing she used to know?
Xiao Tang found it increasingly unbelievable the more she thought about it.
Who would have thought that Di Yanqing would suddenly become so smart, as if he had been given a cheat code?
Unbelievable!
The guards went out again to inquire.
She searched for clues in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion with her hands behind her back.
Yan Shi followed and said, "We can wait and see what's going on at the private school. After all, although the young prince did a great feat by saving his mother, his intelligence can only go so far."
"puff!"
Xiao Tang stared at Yan Shi in utter shock.
She couldn't believe that Yan Shi had said those words.
Unbelievable!
Get the bamboo shoots!
In contrast, Yan Shiyi, who had spoken ill of the little guy, nodded calmly, "That's what I think."
"Go and see if there are any secret passages or anything like that in this prince's mansion."
Xiao Tang was speechless at Yan Shi's words.
His conclusion is actually quite sound.
However, she still thought about it more. Perhaps a boy like Di Yanqing really did have a secret passage dug in the Prince's mansion.
Yan Shi was still worried, "Then Your Majesty..."
"Don't worry about me, go and check it out!" Xiao Tang waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up and search.
Faced with the Empress's calm and composed demeanor, Yan Shi silently left.
After walking a few steps, he was still not entirely at ease, so he turned to Xiao Tang and said, "Your Majesty, if anything happens, please shout for help, and I will come immediately."
"Go quickly!"
Xiao Tang didn't think she would encounter any danger.
Even if Di Yanqing was really lying in ambush, she wanted to get rid of Yan Shi before Di Yanqing dared to show himself.
After Yan Shi left.
She looked down at the weeds growing on the ground.
Although the weeds were dense, footprints were clearly visible beneath them.
She pulled it aside.
Just as I was about to take a closer look, a dark shadow suddenly pounced over.
"Xiao Tang! I want you dead!" the woman screamed.
Xiao Tang was caught off guard and was tackled to the ground by the woman.
"Mother!" Di Yanqing was startled and hurriedly ran out from the shadows, shouting in frustration.
He never expected that his mother would pounce on his imperial aunt so directly; this was courting death!
His original intention was to rescue his mother and then escape with her, believing that his uncle would not send anyone to capture him.
He only wished to live a peaceful life with his mother.
The Imperial Uncle must know what he's thinking.
Otherwise, when he said he would give the throne to his uncle, the uncle accepted it without hesitation, which clearly showed that he had realized he was not cut out to govern the country.
Then we should know that he just wants a free life.
But now...
Di Yanqing panicked.
His mother looked so unfamiliar and frightening; her murderous gaze was terrifying even to her own son.
The woman grabbed Xiao Tang's long hair, gritting her teeth: "You've ruined me so badly. You and Di Jingling are both heartless bastards. I'll take your lives!"
Xiao Tang's scalp was sore from being pulled that he couldn't be polite to her anymore and kicked her away.
Bang!
The woman was no match for Xiao Tang; she was kicked away and rolled several times before coming to a stop.
Xiao Tang sprang to her feet with a quick movement.
"Ha, that's hilarious. You brought this on yourself, and now you blame others for harming you?"
She brushed off the wrinkles in her clothes and glared coldly at the woman. "Also, you repeatedly harmed me and my husband. I haven't settled that score with you yet. Shouldn't you pay for it too?"
Di Yanqing immediately rushed to her side and hugged her, "Aunt, my mother was wrong, please don't blame her, I'm going to take her away now."
Seeing the child's red eyes pleading for mercy, Xiao Tang was furious.
She pointed at the woman in the distance, "She doesn't want to be taken away by you. She's used to a life of luxury and doesn't want to go out and live a hard life with you!"
Di Yanqing was taken aback.
He turned his head and looked in the direction Xiao Tang was pointing at the woman lying on the ground.
Suddenly, I felt that this mother was a stranger.
The woman got up, swaying unsteadily, indicating that Xiao Tang had kicked her quite hard.
She glared at Xiao Tang through gritted teeth: "Xiao Tang, you don't need to try to bewitch my son. My son is the emperor, and you two are heartless wolves!"
