"She is a patient suffering from smallpox. How can she run away? Why don't you quickly mobilize the people in the palace to find her for me!"

The queen was also paying attention to what was going on outside at the moment, and upon hearing the words, she immediately gave orders to mobilize manpower.

At this time, Pei Yao walked out of the main hall and said with a dark expression.

"Concubine Yan's illness was a lie. She did not have smallpox. Now she is afraid that she knows what happened and has already escaped."

To be honest, Pei Yao was also very angry. He had also arranged manpower around the Yining Palace. Although very few people came in and out, he did not notice that Concubine Yan had left the Yining Palace. Even if Fang Yun's people were not watching, Come on, he shouldn't be keeping an eye on his people.

Could it be possible that Concubine Yan could just disappear like this?

"You're not sick?" The Queen frowned, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? Could it be that all of this is..."

"Concubine Zhao, please tell me."

Pei Yao was in a very irritable mood at the moment and didn't want to talk more, so he glanced at Fang Yun.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned towards him again.

Fang Yun took half a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.

"Back to the Empress, after it was reported yesterday that Concubine Yan was suffering from smallpox, I had doubts in my heart. The little palace maid who had infected Concubine Yan was already sick and had herpes on her body. How come she was only discovered today and was related to her? The palace maid she lived with was not sick, but she actually infected the master first, so I secretly sent someone to check the body of the little palace maid, and found that the little palace maid had hanged herself from the beam after being knocked unconscious. .”

"I feel suspicious. After all, what the Yining Palace said to the outside world is that the little palace maid committed suicide out of fear of crime. So I doubt whether the smallpox is real, but I can't be sure. So for the sake of caution, I didn't bother the queen too much. Send someone directly to inform the Emperor of this matter, which can also reduce the risk of the fifth prince and sixth princess in the Queen's Palace getting infected."

After saying this, he not only told the whole story, but also explained to the queen why she didn't report it to the queen first.

Although it is a lie, the real reason cannot be told, so I can only tell it this way to reduce the queen's prejudice against her.

After all, the affairs of the harem are under the control of the queen. It is not in line with the rules to directly report to the emperor without the queen.

After the queen heard this, she frowned slightly, glanced at Fang Yun, and then said in a deep voice.

"What Concubine Zhao said, combined with what happened today, is enough to show that Concubine Yan is pretending to be ill."

Everyone ran away. They must have known something would happen tonight, so they ran away.

The reason for calling her sick before was to take the opportunity to make everyone in the harem avoid Yining Palace, so that it would be easier for her to escape.

"But in such a huge harem, where can Concubine Yan escape to? She must still be in the palace. As long as we send more people, we will definitely find her." Xu Liangyuan couldn't help but said.

What happened today was really difficult for Xu Liangyuan to accept.

She did not expect that someone in the harem would use such despicable methods. In the past, Concubine Wan treated the Sixth Princess harshly, and later Concubine Yan ordered Qiu Baolin to use love potions to win favor and damage the dragon's body.

Lan Liangyuan stood beside Xu Liangyuan. Seeing her thoughts, she approached her, gently held her hand, and said softly.

"I will definitely catch her. How can Daqi's harem allow a foreign woman to be so presumptuous?"

"Apart from Concubine Yan who was not caught, where are the two maids accompanying her?" Fang Yun asked at this time.

Hong Zheng shook his head, "Gone, that is, the three masters and servants are gone. But according to the palace attendants in the Yining Palace, before Concubine Yan took a bath and rested in the evening, Liuli and Ajin were still there."

"Look for me, even if you dig three feet in the ground to find him!" Pei Yao said sternly.

Hong Zheng hurriedly responded, calling the people below to look for him together with the night guards in the palace, and blocked all the ways out of the palace.

Not being able to catch Lin Chan for a while, Pei Yao became irritated and let all the concubines in the harem disperse.

He originally wanted to keep Fang Yun by his side, but he was worried that the strange movements tonight would disturb his two children, the fourth prince and the second princess, so he left no one behind and asked Fang Yun to go back and take care of the two children.

Half an hour later, news came that Liuli, the dowry maid beside Concubine Yan, had been found.

It was found under the palace wall on the north side of the almost uninhabited harem.

She seemed to be looking for something. After being held down, the guard found a purse near where she was looking for. He opened it and found three hundred taels of silver notes inside. After Liuli was caught, she just laughed like crazy and said that Concubine Yan had escaped. Ah Jin was very good at martial arts. With her protecting Concubine Yan, no one could catch her.

The guard wanted to bring her back for interrogation, but he didn't expect that there was poison hidden in Liuli's teeth, so he bit the poison pill and committed suicide.

Later, another guard discovered a dog hole with traces of drilling at the base of the north palace wall.

Young concubine Pei Yao, the palace to the north of the harem is empty and unoccupied, and no one is repairing or taking care of it. Over time, it is not surprising that wild dogs have dug holes and run in.

The size of this dog hole is such that the slender concubine can indeed get through it.

With this guess, the guards quickly returned to Jingqian Palace to report, and sent additional manpower to hunt outside the palace.

People outside were chasing him, and Pei Yao couldn't sleep at all in Jingqian Palace.

I can’t figure out how on earth these three masters and servants managed to escape from the Yining Palace.

But soon, there was an answer.

It was said that when Concubine Yan was taking a bath tonight, the bathtub was broken, so she had someone take it out and burn it, and then replace it with a new one.

That bathtub can indeed hide people.

This will make more sense.

No matter what, we have to find the person first.

Get up early the next day.

Fang Yun heard the news that Concubine Yan and her maid Ah Jin had escaped from the palace through the dog hole in the north palace wall.

He couldn't help but frown, "If you escape, you may not be able to get out of Kyoto."

"Yes, the emperor ordered someone to issue a wanted order last night, and drew portraits of Concubine Yan and that Ah Jin. They were searching the whole city. Now the entire Kyoto knows that Princess Shangyang attempted to regicide and fled after failure. ." Qingrong whispered.

Yan Wei echoed, "Even if the person named A Jin, no matter how skilled he is, without any helpers, it would be difficult for him to take Concubine Yan to escape from the capital. Moreover, outside the capital, the search will continue unless she can escape safely." Daqi."

"If she is really told to run away, the people of the Kyoto City Defense Camp and the Kyoto Guards will probably lose their face." Fang Yun said calmly, "She can't escape the first grade of junior high school, but she can't escape the fifteenth grade. With such a city-wide manhunt, she will not be able to escape." He is a native of Shangyang who is least expected to be seen by the people of Daqi, and he will definitely be found."

The two maids nodded and settled down, waiting for the news.

But what is unexpected is that two days later, Kyoto Guard's people caught Ah Jin in an abandoned house, but Yan Fei was still nowhere to be seen.

Ah Jin was more difficult to deal with than Liuli. Because they wanted to catch someone alive, the guards did not dare to make a deadly move. Seeing that there were too many people being rounded up and it was impossible to escape, Ah Jin was also ruthless and directly used the opponent's hand during the fight. With his own hands, he took his own life.

Finally, she laughed and mocked the uselessness of Kyoto Wei, saying that she had stayed in the capital for the past two days just to delay Concubine Yan. Now, Concubine Yan has escaped from Kyoto.

When the news came back, Pei Yao's face darkened even more.

"Chase, keep chasing, and continue searching in the capital. I don't believe that a weak woman like her can escape Daqi!"

The people below didn't dare to delay, so they also issued a wanted warrant and a reward, and continued the hunt.

Of course, the ministers headed by Prime Minister Lu did not forget to send a letter to Shangyang Kingdom to question the king of Shangyang Kingdom about Lin Chan's regicide.

All of a sudden, everyone in the court was staring at this matter.

But three or four days passed like this, and no trace of Lin Chan was found.

This person seemed to have disappeared from the world, which made Pei Yao and Fang Yun suspicious. (End of chapter)
