Chapter 990 The Queen suddenly summons

 Just at this time, there was a noise outside the yard.

The shouting sound came from far and near, directly blocking Wu Qiuzhao's words.

“Who is so bold and dares to make noise in the palace?” Wu Qiuzao looked out the window in confusion.

Fan Qingyao frowned. Although the palace was not as elaborate as the imperial palace, absolutely no one dared to make any noise under the emperor's eyes.

With such a noise, I'm afraid something serious has happened.

With this in mind, Fan Qingyao stood up and walked out, opening the courtyard door a crack. He happened to see a group of guards walking past the door neatly, looking at them as if they were looking for something, with torches shining in the sky. Among them, everyone's expressions were very solemn.

The guards searched nearby for a long time before walking away into the distance.

After Fan Qingyao watched them leave, he discovered that several places in the distance were also shining with the light of torches. In this case, in addition to the guards in front of him, there were other guards patrolling the palace.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a figure coming in a hurry.

Fan Qingyao recognized that she was the maid serving the Queen, so she took the initiative to open the door.

  "My servant is here to see the Crown Princess. The Queen has asked the Crown Princess to go and see her quickly."

"Do you know what it is?" Fan Qingyao frowned and asked.

The palace maid shook her head and said, "I don't know what I said to the Crown Princess."

At this time, the Empress should have gone to bed. Now, someone summoned her to meet her, but they didn't even explain the reason. It was just because it was inconvenient to make public.

Fan Qingyao always thought that he was not stupid, but compared with the Queen's calmness and the city, she was far behind. Thinking of the group of guards who just passed by, Fan Qingyao didn't even change his clothes. Follow the maid out of the door.

Lily had already received the news and was waiting at the entrance of the palace. When she saw the Crown Princess coming, she hurriedly greeted her, "The wind is cold in the late autumn night. Please come inside quickly, Princess, don't catch a cold."

Fan Qingyao followed Lily into the palace, but did not see the Queen’s figure, “The Queen is not here?”

Lily said softly, "The Emperor suddenly summoned the Queen just now. The Queen had no choice but to go to the Emperor first. However, the Queen said that the Crown Princess does not need to be anxious. She will be back after a while."

"Does Aunt Lily know what happened?" Fan Qingyao asked. Even the emperor was alarmed. He was afraid that he didn't know what happened. Could it be that Baili Rongze did something else?

Lily glanced around, and when she saw no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "The second prince went to Concubine Liu Shu's palace earlier, and there was a lot of noise. The empress was worried so she went there in person. It was not convenient for the servants to go in at that time. They just waited outside. Later, when the Queen came out, her face was not good-looking. When the servant accompanied the Queen back to the palace, she heard that the emperor had sent people from the imperial palace to investigate the palace. The Queen ordered the servant to send someone first. Call the Crown Princess over."

As for other things, Lily really doesn’t know.

Hearing these words, Fan Qingyao knew that something must have happened, but what exactly happened would not be known until the queen came back.

In the inner hall, Yuan Yue was sitting alone on the Luohan bed, playing with various gadgets. When she saw Fan Qingyao coming in, Yuan Yue was not afraid of anything. She touched the soft edge and stretched out her hand to Fan Qingyao. .

 Obviously I want a hug.

Fan Qingyao suppressed the panic in his heart and walked to Yuan Yue, hugging Yuan Yue in his arms. Yuan Yue pulled all the gadgets in front of him to Fan Qingyao, indicating that Fan Qingyao could Play casually.

Lily did not expect Princess Yuanyue to be so close to the Crown Princess. She smiled and said, "Princess Yuanyue has always had a unique temperament. This is the first time in such a long time that this servant has seen Princess Yuanyue so close to anyone except the Queen."    Fan Qingyao looked at Yuanyue in his arms and remembered that when the Yu family's children were in trouble last time, Yuanyue also helped Qingxin and Brother Ren. He was obviously a child who grew up with rumors in the palace. It is really rare to have such a willingness to help others.

"Our Yuanyue is very powerful. I heard that last time we fought for someone else's injustice. Although our Yuanyue is a girl, looking at our courage, we will definitely not lose to men in the future." Fan Qingyao looked at Yuanyue and smiled. road.

Hearing this, Yuanyue suddenly showed a big smile, as if she was happy.

Fan Qingyao felt a little pain in his heart when he looked at Yuanyue like this. Such a kind-hearted child was accidentally involved in other people's rights and wrongs. Her own mother didn't even know whether she was alive or how she was alive. Don't care.

As he was talking, the Queen came in. Fan Qingyao and Lily heard the sound and walked out quickly.

Empress Zhen Xi grabbed Fan Qingyao and signaled that she did not need to salute. She wanted to say something, but she saw that Fan Qingyao was still holding Yuan Yue in her arms and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

Seeing this, Lily quickly looked at Yuanyue and said, "Princess Yuanyue, can you let your slave accompany you to play inside?"

Yuan Yue should have known that the Queen Empress had something to say to Fan Qingyao. Although she was a little reluctant to leave Fan Qingyao's arms, she still nodded and landed on the ground, staggering towards the inner hall with Lily.

Empress Zhen Xi waited until Yuan Yue's figure disappeared completely, then pulled Fan Qingyao to sit on a chair and said, "Have you seen the second prince's concubine today?"

Fan Qingyao shook his head, "No."

Queen Zhen Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. It seems like this fire is not directed at us."

Fan Qingyao asked in confusion, "Mother, what happened?"

Queen Zhen Xi glanced at Fan Qingyao again and then said, "The second prince couldn't find the second prince's concubine, so he went to see Liu Shufei. I also went there and learned that the second prince's concubine had been there all day. Because no one was there, I wanted to call the nanny next to the second prince and concubine to ask questions, but I didn’t expect that the second prince’s concubine’s nanny fell into the well in the second prince’s yard for no reason..."

Hearing these words, Fan Qingyao's heart skipped a beat.

in this case…

 The second princess is missing?

Empress Zhen Xi looked at Fan Qingyao's expression, nodded and said, "The disappearance of the second prince's concubine without any reason is really too suspicious, so I thought of calling you here first, and then informing the emperor, but I didn't I thought that Concubine Yu was one step ahead of me and informed the emperor about the matter first. Now all the guards in the palace were sent by the emperor to find the second princess."

Fan Qingyao knew that since coming to the palace, Baili Rongze's temptations had never stopped. The Queen must be worried that Baili Rongze and the second prince had joined forces to make a plan this time. In order to prevent the other side from borrowing money, He wanted to frame her, so he called her over first.

In this way, even if Baili Rongze really wanted to frame him, Fan Qingyao was in the Queen's palace, and the Queen could still be a witness.

Fan Qingyao naturally understood the Queen's wishes, but if the second prince really joined forces with Baili Rongze and wanted to hide the second prince's concubine to make a fuss, it would be a bit risky.

"The second prince only agreed to side with the third prince under the coercion of Concubine Han Xian. Not to mention that the third prince cannot completely trust the second prince for the time being. Even if the third prince really believes in the second prince, I am afraid that the second prince will not I will take the risk with the second princess."

The second prince may not care about the second prince's concubine, but he will definitely not care about the child in the second prince's concubine's belly.

She was about to give birth. If something really happened, wouldn't the second prince be so regretful that his intestines would feel weak?
