The whereabouts of the prince was unknown, and her life or death was uncertain. Emperor Yunqi began to feel dizzy, but he told himself that he must not fall down. At this moment, he had to hold on!
If he falls down again, what will Dongze do?
But what he is most worried about now is the queen.
Nothing can happen to the Queen.
Yunqi's heart broke when he saw the queen's beautiful face become so haggard. The year he met her, she was still a little girl, as young as a flower!
After so many years, he felt that he had given her too little. He really wanted to give her all the good things, but she was of a calm nature and did not care about wealth and glory. Then, he had to abide by the rules of his ancestors and could not favor her alone!
So, he felt very sorry for her, he couldn't lose her again!
He thought, he needed her more than she needed him!

At the same time, Lian Jinyu and An Zhongtao were already in a state of panic. They just went out for a walk, and couldn't find An Qingran when they came back. They asked several people but no one knew. Finally, An Zhongtao found outside the side hall that although the ground had been cleaned, there were still traces of a fight. The footprints on the ground showed that there were probably more than a dozen people!
Could it be that An Qingran has been kidnapped?
Lian Jinyu almost fainted, and An Zhongtao hurriedly said, "You go back home first, I want to continue looking for Qingran here!"
Lian Jinyu shook her head: "No, let's look for it separately..."
An Zhongtao felt a pain in his heart when he saw her panic-stricken look. Lian Jinyu had been so distracted that she was confused. He hurriedly said, "Jinyu, listen to me. You go back home first. I promise to find Qingran. If we split up and look for the thief, what about your safety if he hasn't gone far?"
Lian Jinyu didn't say anything, but just shook her head and was about to cry. In the end, An Zhongtao had no choice but to search everywhere with her. Fortunately, An Fu came with him that day and also searched together.
They didn't know that the prince had also disappeared at the same time.
An Zhongtao didn't dare to say anything, fearing that An Qingran was just being naughty and playful. If they made a big fuss and spread it out, who knows what kind of gossip would arise! This girl's innocent reputation is more important than anything else!
The sun set in the west and there was no news at all. Lian Jinyu fainted!
An Zhongtao had no choice but to take Lian Jinyu back to the general's mansion, and then thought about going out with An Fu to look for her.
Lian Jinrong was delighted to see Lian Jinyu return in such a miserable state, but on the surface she was extremely anxious: "What's wrong with sister? Is your health still not well? Do you want to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician?"
An Zhongtao said to Lian Jinrong: "Take good care of her..."
"What happened? Why didn't I see Qingran?"
"Qingran? She is copying scriptures in Yuehua Temple?" An Zhongtao said the excuse he had discussed with his wife. Because the news must not be spread. Even Lian Jinrong, he couldn't let her know. This was what his wife had repeatedly told him.
Lian Jinrong's face changed several times when she heard that, then she looked at Lian Jinyu and said, "How could this happen? What should we do, General. I will help take care of Qingran. Your sister is in such a bad health..." As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears!
"Why are you crying? If Jin Yu hears you crying, it will only make things worse. She is just tired."
"Yes, General, you are right. I was so worried about my sister... that I forgot to be polite. What should I do? I will ask a doctor to check on her immediately! Why hasn't my sister woken up yet..." Lian Jinrong touched Lian Jinyu's forehead with concern. The worry in her eyes made An Zhongtao feel relieved.
It seems that she is not as affectionate as she thought. She still has a deep sisterly love for Lian Jinyu.
An Zhongtao just sighed and told her that he had something to do, then immediately got up and left.
Seeing his back leaving, Lian Jinrong showed a smug smile on her face. She looked at Jin Yu who was still semi-conscious lying on the bed and smiled brightly.
At the same time, I was a little confused. Is An Qingran really in Yuehua Temple?
The general looked unremarkable, and what was he doing out now? He even went out when Jin Yu was unconscious, so it was obviously something extremely important.
There was no reason for An Qingran to stay alone in Yuehua Temple. She was only twelve! The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple.
Thinking of An Qingran, she still had some grudges in her heart. The more she thought about that girl's personality, the more she felt that it was strange. Since the Lantern Festival, she has been completely different to her, as if she knew that she had done those things!
It wasn't like this before. Her relationship with me was almost the same as her mother's. Sometimes she even played with Yanran and spent more time with me than with her mother. But now, she felt that she was terrible! She even suspected that she was the one who was behind the trip to Yuehua Temple!
Obviously, Lian Jinyu only wanted to compete with An Zhongtao and just hated not having to see him, so how could she come up with such a roundabout way?
It was raining outside, but her mood was extremely bright.
In fact, just before they came back, she was still angry in Lan Xiao Pavilion because that group of people did not complete the task she assigned. An Zhongtao could never imagine what she did behind their backs!
Now that the mother and daughter have started to act, how could she and Yanran just sit there and wait for death?
But I didn't expect that group of idiots didn't complete the task, and they said something like a prince showed up halfway. How powerful could the prince be? It was obvious that they were too stupid to make excuses.
So, she thought of a possibility, that An Qingran was missing!
Although she was not caught by her own people, something else must have happened to her. If what those people said was true, then she was most likely with the prince.
Thinking of this, her expression became more complicated. Why did she end up offending the prince?
If the prince has any thoughts about this girl, what should I do?
It seemed that Dongfang Ye's mind was not on his own daughter, and Cousin Shu only agreed verbally but did not take any action. Maybe she disliked Yanran for being a bastard's daughter but was reluctant to say it out loud!
Lian Jinrong has seen that the world is cold and human nature is indifferent.
But no matter what, what is happening now is definitely a great thing.
After An Fu called the general away, she felt something was wrong and sent people to Yuehua Temple to find out that Lian Jinyu was unwell. She also learned that An Zhongtao had taken care of her for a whole day and night without taking off his clothes. So, she was heartbroken in the mansion. After all, An Zhongtao still had feelings for Lian Jinyu. It was in vain that she had been compromising with him for so many years!
She absolutely could not let Lian Jinyu reconcile with An Zhongtao so easily.
The last incident with Ye Hen did not hit her hard, but instead gave her the opportunity to rise to power. This time, she changed direction. She wanted to deal with that little girl. If something happened to that girl, she didn't believe that Lian Jinyu would not be disheartened. At that time, she'd better become a nun to vent her anger!
