The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 1294: Concubine Li's Dark Trick (41)
At very dusk, the emperor took her to the Xinhua Hall for a banquet. Because there were already many people serving in the imperial dining room at the palace banquet, the hall was a bit crowded. Except for the emperor and empress, each master had only A competent person serves, while the others wait in the porch outside the hall.

During the banquet, Jinghan kept looking outside the door, and within half an hour, she had already run out several times by herself. The fireworks rising outside the palace were of different colors and colors, which made her both curious and envious up.

Originally, she was just watching from the porch, but in the end she dragged the prince to disappear.

Qinxue went to get tea and came back. Seeing that the princess was not there, she looked around the hall and saw that everyone else was there, but the two highnesses were missing, so she hurriedly put down her teacup and came out to find someone.

She searched a few times in front of the hall in a panic, and bumped into a person accidentally. The person let out a "hey" and turned around to scold him. Seeing that it was Qin Xue, she asked in surprise, "Aren't you in the hall to serve the princess?" , what are you wandering around here?"

Even though the north wind was howling outside, it felt like a knife-like thorn on people's faces, but Qinxue still broke out in cold sweat, and complained to Chang Xi in a crying voice: "You still said that you didn't want you to follow me?" The prince’s, now that the two highnesses are gone, it’s going to snow this day, and there are no palace lanterns on the nearby roads, if something happens to the two little masters, then we will lose our heads.”

Chang Xi was taken aback. He was serving the prince just now, and the third highness accidentally spilled wine on the prince, so he came out and sent someone to fetch clean clothes for the prince, but it happened that the lantern under the porch was blown down. By Jinyu's side, Jinyu went to the side hall to find someone to borrow a fire to light the lanterns. Chang Xi asked several people before he found Jinyu and told her to go back quickly.

But he just came out of the side hall, and then bumped into Qinxue. It took a long time, and he expected that the prince and princess would not be far away, so he comforted Qinxue and said, "Don't worry, let's find someone near here first." Once you find it, maybe the prince and princess are just playful, and they won't be far away."

Qinxue was flustered at this moment, her eyelids were twitching non-stop, she hurriedly searched around, and she became more and more frightened, so she left Chang Xi and ran back to Xinhua Palace, secretly reporting to the queen.

Qing Chen hadn't seen those two children for quite a while. Hearing what Qin Xue said, he hurriedly whispered a few words to the emperor. Xiao Jun was slightly startled, got up and said, "I'll go with you."

The empress suddenly left the banquet, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what had happened, the emperor said calmly, "I can't hold my alcohol too much, and I want to go out to relieve the smell of alcohol. It's fine if the empress is with you, you go on."

After leaving the Xinhua Hall, the emperor ordered Fufeng to notify the guards in the palace to immediately search for the whereabouts of the prince and princess, and ordered Fuquan to take many fireworks to the open space to set off. Jinghan has been looking forward to this moment. If she is really playful, look I will start setting off fireworks in the palace, and I will definitely be back soon.

But after a long time, there was still no trace of the two children, Qingchen's face gradually became less calm, and he walked back and forth restlessly.Seeing her anxiety, the emperor held her hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, there are so many people around Xinhua Hall tonight, Yixuan and Jinghan will be fine."

Qingchen nodded, but her heart became more and more flustered. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Sang Guirong who died tragically in the snow, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Just when she was flustered, Fufeng led two people, holding something in his hand, walked quickly to the empress and replied: "Your majesty, empress, we found a shoe of the princess under the rockery in front. "

The emperor took a look, and saw that they were the deerskin boots that Jinghan was wearing. Qingchen wanted to reach out to pick them up, but for some reason, his eyes turned black, and he knelt down as soon as his legs softened. Lan and Jinxiu helped her in time, and she almost passed out.

Qingchen felt cold in his heart, and the voice he asked was out of tune, "Where did you find it, take me there quickly!"

Fu Feng's eyes were full of grief, and he looked at the emperor in embarrassment. This look made Xiao Jun's heart tremble.The emperor knew very well what this look meant, but he couldn't believe it. He ordered sharply: "Hurry up and lead the way."

"Yes." Fufeng bowed his head slightly, turned around and led the empress to the artificial mountain forest not far ahead.

People would come to this place unless there was a New Year's feast. Qingchen seldom set foot in this place on weekdays, so he was not familiar with the trails here.

Fufeng brought them to a high rockery. The place is not very remote, and there is a road not far away, but Qingchen clearly saw that there was a high pile of rocks and soil under the rockery. Looking up, It was obviously newly collapsed.

There were countless guards lighting bright palace lanterns, Qingchen found a little light in the grass next to the mound, she hurriedly walked over to pick it up and saw that it was a pearl on Jinghan's jewelry.

She plopped and knelt there, she already understood something, but she didn't dare to believe it either. With trembling hands, she slowly crawled towards the mound where the rocks had collapsed, with tears streaming down her eyes. But like a demon, he murmured to himself: "Yixuan, Jinghan, don't be afraid, mother came to save you later, queen mother will definitely save you, you have to hold on, wait for queen mother..."

She didn't care about the mud staining her clothes, even if the gravel scratched her hands, her nails were all broken in the mud, her hands were bloody, and her hands were dug to pieces, she didn't feel any pain at all. The Queen's mind has gone blank, and she may not even know what she is doing.

The huge pain made her bewildered. She just mechanically pulled the rocks with her hands, only knowing that her children were buried below, and she wanted to rescue them as soon as possible.

Xiao Jun swayed, felt dizzy for a moment, her heart felt like a knife was twisted, and her eyes were moist.At this time, the sky had already started to snowflakes, and the Queen's sobs could not be heard in the whimper of the north wind, only the sound of the roaring wind shuttled through the mountains and forests.

Xiao Jun staggered forward, hugged the queen behind her, and persuaded: "Chen'er, don't do this, it's useless..."

"No, no, you go away, go away, I want to save my child, go away..." Qingchen turned around like crazy and pushed the emperor away forcefully, then fell on the pile of rocks again, desperately Digging as hard as she could, at this time, no matter who came to obstruct her, she was afraid that she would fight him desperately.This is a mother's determination to save her child, and no one can persuade her to stop.

At this time, Yun Lan and Jinxiu were already bursting into tears with heartache, and ran over to dig the pile of rocks with the Queen's hands, but everyone knew that under such a large landslide, even adults would not be able to survive. Not to mention just two kids.
