Chixing accepted the order to search for people.
Originally, they had already searched every street and alley in the capital that afternoon.
Now, with the addition of shadows, it's almost like a net of heaven and earth, filtering the capital city from south to north once again.
An hour later.
Chi Xing knelt on one knee on the ground. In front of him was the prince, who was in a fit of anger.
"Your subordinate is incompetent and has failed to find Miss Song."
Situ Xiu's eyelids were lowered, and although he exuded a gloomy aura, he did not vent his anger or punish Chi Xing.
After a long pause, his voice slowly...
"You've searched everything?"
Akahoshi nodded
"yes"
After saying that, Akahoshi hesitated for a moment, then said...
"Perhaps, Miss Song has already left the capital."
Leaving the capital?
impossible.
Wasn't her original purpose to come to the capital?
She must have gone to do something she doesn't want him to know.
What is it that you're hiding from him?
Situ Xiu's eyelids twitched, and his tone became slow.
"Was the palace searched?"
Akahoshi was taken aback and shook his head.
"Not searched."
Did Miss Song sneak into the palace?
No matter how I think about it, it seems unlikely.
The hall fell silent once again.
Until Situ Xiu spoke again
"The Ning family once said that Song Su and the Empress look somewhat alike?"
Akahoshi nodded
"yes"
As Ning Zhi was leaving yesterday, she was inexplicably angry and furious.
As a result, Ningzhi spoke without restraint to Chixing, saying whatever came to mind.
They said that Song Su looked quite similar to the current empress and was colluding with traitors. They believed that Song Su had no good intentions and would destroy the foundation of the Tian Sheng Kingdom sooner or later.
To be honest, Chixing also had doubts about Song Su regarding yesterday's events.
It wasn't just because of what Wang Lin said before he died.
And why did he have Song Su's purse?
Chixing is the prince's personal bodyguard.
To protect the prince's safety.
He has reason to question Song Su.
Moreover, this kind of thing would have happened in the past.
Regardless of whether Song Su is right or wrong, she will definitely suffer the same fate as Wang Lin.
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Unfortunately, the prince doted on Song Su too much.
Chi Xing discovered this as soon as Song Su arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
The prince's gaze would always fall on Song Su, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Song Su peeled walnuts, while the prince read memorials.
In severe cases, a single memorial could remain on the same page for half an hour.
They weren't reading memorials; they were watching Song Su peel walnuts.
Now, Song Su is a suspect.
The prince had absolutely no suspicions.
Even blatant protection.
In front of everyone, he gave the Buddhist beads to Guard Song.
Seeing Buddhist prayer beads is like seeing a prince.
That was a talisman.
Who would dare to touch her on the territory of the Heavenly Saint Kingdom?
Chixing wanted the prince to remain cautious towards Song Su.
Then he told the prince what Ningzhi had said.
Before becoming empress, she was a princess.
He rarely went out while staying in the palace.
So much so that apart from her personal attendants and palace servants, very few people had ever seen the Empress's face.
When the empress ascended the throne, she was not allowed to show her face in public because she was a woman.
They then set up a beaded curtain to block it.
Sitting on the throne of supreme authority, even the officials and ministers rarely see his true face.
As for Situ Xiu.
He was the regent, and military power was entirely in his hands.
He didn't care at all who sat on the throne.
Now he has been back in court for so long.
He had been ill and recuperating at home, and had never attended court.
He never met the Empress alone.
Situ Xiu is so arrogant that he no longer bothers to hide it.
This is why, while civil officials wielded their pens daily to condemn and punish, the Prime Minister would come to the Prince's residence in a fit of rage and hurl insults.
This regent is extremely arrogant.
He held military power.
Who could rival the entire dynasty?
