However, they should have arrived at the place she arranged by now, and these people would not be able to find them no matter what.
Concubine Qiao was very happy to see that things were going so smoothly. She held her child as if she was holding the future emperor.
Rong Ye and Ye Qingyan came to Fenglin Palace first. Ye Qingyan followed behind, looking weak and anxious, as if she was about to cry.
On the other side, Fu Yunxi also received the news and hurried to Fenglin Palace.
She had just discovered the affair with Concubine Qiao during the day, and the child disappeared at night. She thought this matter was related to her.
However, she did not expect that Concubine Qiao was so bold that she dared to steal the prince in the palace.
The queen searched for half an hour but found nothing. After Rong Ye came over, she directly sent out the imperial guards.
"Royal brother, I saw Concubine Qiao talking to a palace maid during the day, and then the palace maid sneaked out of the palace. You can call her over and ask her." Fu Yunxi saw that he had no clue at all and spoke quickly.
However, Concubine Qiao, who was sitting in the palace, was summoned to Fenglin Palace before she could be happy for long.
The prince's disappearance is a big deal. If it gets out, it will cause panic among the people, so the news has been blocked from outside the palace.
In order to avoid chaos in the palace, the concubines were kept in their own palaces.
When Concubine Qiao arrived at Fenglin Palace, she put on a worried look and sighed, "Your Majesty, something like this happened in the palace. I am also very scared."
Seeing that his former beloved woman and childhood sweetheart could act so innocent, Rong Ye wondered if he had misjudged people.
He had neglected her recently, but she could actually do such a thing.
"What else do you have to say now? You actually dared to join forces with Prince An's Mansion. Do you want to rebel?" Rong Ye had the captured palace maid brought up and asked her to tell everything she had done.
The palace maid was originally a spy for Prince An's Mansion, but she had an affair with a guard in the palace. Now she was threatened with that man's life, so she told everything she had done.
"I conspired with the people in Prince An's mansion, but I didn't intend to rebel." When Concubine Qiao's conspiracy was exposed, she began to cry and said, "I saw that the emperor had been favoring Ye Qingyan recently. At this time, Prince An sent me a letter saying that he wanted to take Ye Qingyan out of the palace. I was so eager to gain your favor that I did such a wrong thing."
Concubine Qiao's words were half true and half false. Rong Ye had a complicated expression and did not speak for a while.
"Your Majesty, it's fine if Concubine Qiao resents me, but what's most important now is to find the prince." Ye Qingyan knelt aside and said fiercely, "I beg Your Majesty not to let Concubine Qiao go just because of our old relationship."
Seeing Rong Ye's expression softening slightly due to her words, Concubine Qiao's expression turned serious again and she scolded him, "Ye Qingyan, don't think that just because you seduce men so softly, everyone will be on your side. Prince An told me that you two are husband and wife without any matchmaker or engagement. What's the difference between you and those whores in the brothel?"
After these words were spoken, the air became quiet and no one dared to speak.
Ye Qingyan, who was crying nearby, stopped crying at this moment.
Fu Yunxi felt that it was a good thing that she didn't drink the water, otherwise the water would have sprayed out. Concubine Qiao usually looked like a noble lady, but she didn't expect that she was so bold.
Rong Ye's expression was not very good at this time. He turned his head and looked at Ye Qingyan who was kneeling on the ground.
