Chapter 617
Zhou Hanhan was having dinner when a court lady hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The palace nurse next to the Empress Empress broke into our Qingxi Palace with her guards."

Zhou Hanhan's complexion immediately changed, she didn't ask where the right came from, she dared to bring the guards into her Qingxi Palace, and only asked the palace people who were still in the bedroom to guard the gate outside, trying to delay the palace and the others. footsteps.

When she was alone in the room, she quickly changed into a eunuch's clothes, left the room through the window, and ran to the backyard of Qingxi Palace.

Although Zhou Hanhan is now a noble concubine, the lessons of her previous life told her that a person must be cunning, so not long after she lived in Qingxi Palace, she set aside a way for herself to escape.

She looked at and smashed a hole in the corner of the wall in the backyard of Qingxi Palace, which was usually covered with flowers and trees, and even her closest court ladies and eunuchs didn't know about it.

Zhou Hanhan left Qingxi Palace smoothly through the entrance of the cave.

That is, around the same time, Grandma Gong subdued all the palace people in Qingxi Palace and directly broke into the bedroom.

Zhou Hanhan pretended to be on the bed, and Madam Gong didn't notice that she had escaped for the first time. When she lifted off the quilt aggressively, she realized that there was no one on the bed at all.

Grandma Gong asked the guards to search the room for a while, but still couldn't find anyone.She walked to the door, grabbed Wei Zi's hair on the ground, and asked viciously, "Where is Concubine Yun Gui?"

Wei Zi's eyes were full of panic, his cheeks were also red and swollen, and he replied tremblingly: "Servant... I don't know, the empress was still in the bedroom just now..."

Nanny Gong threw Wei Zi to the ground, and ordered the entire Qingxi Palace to be searched again.

Gong Momo found almost every mouse in Qingxi Palace, but she still couldn't find Concubine Yun, so she knew that the person must have escaped.

Gong Nai's expression was extremely ugly, and she immediately led the people from Qingxi Palace back to Qianhe Palace.

Empress Song stayed in Qianhe Palace, waiting for the maid to bring her back.

Li Chengqi has already entered the inner room to see the emperor.When he came out again, he saw the queen mother sitting there drinking tea calmly, without any trace of anxiety or sadness, and a bad suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.

He walked slowly behind Queen Song, and asked in a low voice, "Queen Mother, won't you go in and see Emperor Father?"

Empress Song turned her head to look at her son, and sighed sadly, "Empress Mother won't go to see her anymore, Empress Mother is afraid of seeing your father's appearance now, and she won't be able to bear it..."

Li Chengqi was silent for a moment and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Gong Nai hurried into the hall with a few people.

Empress Song stood up immediately, looked at Gong Nai with a vaguely excited expression and asked, "Did you get caught?"

Gong Nai's complexion was not good, and she immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "Reporting to the empress, this old servant took people to Qingxi Palace to search for it several times, but he couldn't find Concubine Yun! Presumably she knew about the Dongchuang incident and absconded in fear of crime!"

When Empress Song heard that no one was caught, a look of fierceness flashed across her face, she slapped the table heavily with her palm and said, "Let the guards in the palace look for him in the palace, and dig three feet into the ground to find him for me!"

After she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly said: "Someone go and guard the gate of the palace, absolutely no one is allowed to leave the palace!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants have been guarded at the gate of the palace, and they will never let a fly fly out!" Gong Nai said immediately.

Empress Song knew that Grandma Gong was always reliable in her actions, so she sat back on the chair again.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the people in Qingxi Palace?" Gong Nai asked again.

"All locked up in the Prison Division." Empress Song said in a cold tone, then she looked at Xu Fu behind Li Chengqi, and said with a chuckle: "Eunuch Xu, the murderer who murdered His Majesty has been found now, and wait for the Criminal Division to interrogate the evidence." , you can inform the court ministers about this matter, and those ministers are also anxious to know about His Majesty's situation."

Xu Fu followed behind Li Chengqi with a low eyebrow, and responded respectfully, "Your servant knows."

Seeing that Xu Fu was very knowledgeable about current affairs, Empress Song nodded with satisfaction, then got up and said to Li Chengqi: "Qi'er, you go with Eunuch Xu to appease the courtiers, your father is still in a coma, and the burden of this important court event will be on you for the time being." You don't have to worry about the affairs of the harem, the queen mother will take care of it."

Li Chengqi looked at the unconcealable smile in his mother's eyes, was silent for a long time, and then nodded slowly.

After Li Chengqi left, Empress Song only left the imperial physicians to watch in Qianhe Palace, while she returned to Kunhe Palace.

A few more hours passed, and the sky darkened, but the guards sent out by Empress Song still did not find Concubine Yun Gui.

Not being able to find anyone for a long time, Empress Song became more and more anxious, pacing back and forth in the bedroom, and asked impatiently: "Where did that bitch hide, could it be that he has already left the palace?"

"Impossible, the old slave has been guarding the gate of the palace, and Concubine Yun never went out." Gong Nai said immediately.

"Then where will she hide?" Empress Song asked again irritably, as long as she didn't take care of anyone, the breath in her chest couldn't be relieved.

"Mother, this imperial palace is so big, if Concubine Yun wants to find a place to hide, it is really not easy for us to find it. Instead of searching hard, it is better to lure people out." Gongmao seemed to have a countermeasure, whispering with Song said the Queen.

Empress Song's eyes flickered slightly, and the corner of her lips raised a sneer, "Are you trying to take advantage of that bastard?"

Gong Naimo nodded, "It seems that the empress is thinking of meeting with this old slave."

"But that bastard is of royal blood after all, so we can't treat it casually..." Empress Song said with some concerns.

The palace nurse gave a sinister smile, and continued: "Mother, the little princess was born prematurely, and the child is not yet full moon. At this time, the child is most likely to die young. As long as we spread the news that the little princess is seriously ill, don't worry about the concubine Yun. Dedicate yourself."

Empress Song felt that this method was feasible, but she still had some concerns, "What if that bitch really doesn't care about his daughter's life?"

"Your Majesty, we are not at a loss anyway, aren't we? Besides, the old slave doesn't believe it anymore. Concubine Yun can still hide in the palace for the rest of her life. She will always show her face. By then, won't she still be able to escape death?" .” Gong Nai hinted to Empress Song cryptically.

Empress Song smiled in satisfaction, that's right, if she can't kill that bitch, if she wants to kill her daughter, it can be regarded as getting back some interest.

Empress Song asked Gong Nai to go to work quickly, and Li Chengqi's voice came from outside, "Mother, are you inside?"

Empress Song was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Gong Nai to go out to open the door. Just now she and Gong Nai spied and sent all the palace people to the front hall, but these people were too sloppy, and no one reported when the prince came. .
