Li Xiaochen nodded, and then he and Lie Yan followed the cave all the way to the cold palace.
Li Xiaochen stood at the door of the cold palace. The door was closed and there were no traces of footsteps on the ground, but Li Xiaochen had a hunch that Xinxin was inside.
He didn't hesitate any more and pushed the door open. Inside, there was dust, spider webs, and fallen leaves everywhere.
It looks like no one has lived in this cold palace for many years!
As soon as Li Xiaochen entered, he started looking for Lin Yuxin.
"Xinxin? Xinxin!"
"Princess? Princess, are you here?"
Li Xiaochen and Lie Yan looked around but didn't see anyone. Li Xiaochen looked unhappy. Could it be that he made a wrong judgment? Xinxin wasn't here?
"Activate our secret line in Zhao State and do our best to find the princess!"
Li Xiaochen had already started to worry, so without thinking, he gave the order to Lie Yan.
Lie Yan did not hesitate, nodded in response, and then walked out to send a signal.
The princess is pregnant now, so these hidden threads are gone, and he can still take care of her in the future. If anything happens to the princess, the prince will probably go crazy.
Li Xiaochen walked out at a swift pace. He prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to Xinxin, otherwise he was not sure what he could do.
Here, Li Xiaochen was looking for Lin Yuxin all over the palace, and sometimes he even searched the palaces of the concubines, but they couldn't find her after searching everywhere. This made Li Xiaochen suspect that Lin Yuxin no longer went to her space.
Qiu Jingfan's side has also begun to become tense.
"Qiu Jingfan, you said so much today, aren't you just trying to pull me down? Don't you think you have the ability to do it? Just the two of you? Can you compare with my 20,000 guards?"
Qiu Qiyi didn't want to waste time talking to him. If he continued, all his past would be exposed and these officials would probably turn against him.
Although Qiu Jingfan fought his way into the palace, he did not think he could resist his 20,000 imperial guards.
"Since you don't plead guilty, I won't waste my words. My fellow ministers, what happened today was caused by Qiu Qiyi himself. If you want to help him, then you have to think about it. If you follow him, no one knows whether you will be killed in the future."
"There is one more thing. I might as well tell you that when I was investigating the cause of Emperor Xiao's death, I found some interesting things that are related to you."
"Think about it. Have any strange things happened in your family recently? For example, someone's daughter went missing, someone's family suddenly died, or someone's family suddenly had a concubine or maid and then there was unrest in the family?"
Qiu Jingfan looked at the ministers with different expressions, warned them, thought about it and decided to remind them again.
After all, he also took a breath of cold air when he found out. Otherwise, before entering Bianjing, Lin Yuxin asked him to investigate the homes of some officials in the court, saying that there would be surprises.
He would not check other things when he checked Master Xuan again, which surprised him unexpectedly! What he did not expect was that Qiu Qiyi would be so crazy.
Whenever there was an official who displeased him in the court and he couldn't kill him to vent his anger, he would think of other ways to destroy that official's family.
After hearing what Qiu Jingfan said, the ministers thought of something and their faces turned pale instantly.
They also thought about what had happened in the mansion in the past few months. They all thought it was an accident. If all this was not an accident and was done by the emperor, then it would be terrifying to think about it carefully!
For a moment, all the ministers looked at Qiu Qiyi with disbelief in their eyes, and at the same time, they did not speak about the affairs between them brothers.
"Your Majesty, is what the Second Prince said true?"
Tan Xiaoren asked Qiu Qiyi in disbelief. His youngest daughter was missing in his house. He had sent many people to look for her during that time, but they couldn't find her. He had given up, but he didn't expect that it was the emperor's handiwork!
Where was his little girl? When he thought of the master Xuan who took the blood from his heart, he shuddered and almost couldn't stand still! He had to be helped by the people beside him.
What makes people wonder is, why? Why did the emperor touch his family?
Qiu Jingfan saw his confusion and patiently explained it to him:
"You want to know why? I think I should know. Did you oppose him in the court for a while? Qiu Qiyi is a man who holds grudges. If he can't kill you, he will find a way to make you suffer."
"Shut up!"
When Qiu Qiyi heard Qiu Jingfan actually tell him all his little thoughts, his face changed! How did Qiu Jingfan know?
When Mr. Tan saw that the emperor was so panicked, he was convinced that what the second prince said was true. He looked at the emperor's trembling mouth and was unable to speak for a while.
Those of them who serve as ministers always know that the emperor's orders are hard to disobey. If the emperor wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, you will not live past five o'clock.
"Your Majesty, why did you send me a concubine and make my family restless? I don't remember that I had a dispute with you in the court."
Seeing this, Chen Ruoren also questioned that when the emperor gave him a concubine, he didn't want to accept her because he had feelings for his wife.
But it was hard to disobey the emperor's order, so he finally accepted it. As a result, there were constant quarrels in the palace, and even the relationship between him and his wife faded a lot. Last month, his wife had a miscarriage.
If all this was arranged by the emperor, thinking of this, Chen Yu's face turned pale in an instant.
At the same time, he was puzzled. He was usually neutral and cautious, never took sides, and never had any conflict with the emperor. Was it possible that the emperor would take action against him?
Qiu Qiyi had a wooden face and didn't answer, but he looked at Qiu Jingfan with murderous eyes. It was all because of this rubbish that he was embarrassed!!!
"He won't tell you, so let me tell you! You are actually a little pitiful, because you and your wife are so happy. He never believes in love, and he wants to test whether your relationship with your wife is so strong."
"So they sent a woman into your house, but that woman really tormented you and your wife and caused them to have a rift."
Qiu Jingfan looked at Chen Qianren with a little sympathy, because of Qiu Qiyi's experience since childhood, he didn't believe that there was love in this world, so this was also the reason why he liked the wife of a strong man so much.
Chen sat down on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He felt so sorry for his wife! How could such a thing happen if he was not an official? And his child, who was already five months old, was gone just like that!
Chen looked at the emperor with a hint of hatred in his eyes, but he didn't say anything! He lowered his head and immersed himself in regret.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant...?"
All of a sudden, many officials began to question. Their previous questions were for the people and the court, but now they were all for themselves.
"You are such idiots, you just believe everything he says? If you are so easily fooled, you should not hold your official positions!"
Qiu Qiyi was so angry and embarrassed by the question that he just threw up his sleeves, took the initiative and scolded them.
This also made them shut up, but the grudge was buried in their hearts. In their minds, the affairs of the family were basically done by the emperor.
