C871 871 The little prince is missing

She scratched her forehead and looked at Yan Yuan as if he was a student who had done something bad to her, and was being trained in front of his teacher.

"This humble one knows that this ball is a bit unusable, let me think of something else to give to the crown prince. "Hehe."

She pretended to be relaxed as she smiled at Yan Yuan, "Your highness, you can busy yourself first, I will take my leave."

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned to leave, but was stopped by Yan Yuan.

"Prince?"

Seeing that Yan Yuan had opened his hands to her, with his slender fingers and fair palm, Liu Ruo Qing did not know what she had suddenly extended his hand for. She hesitated for a moment, and then, placed her own hand into his palm.

Although the pose of the two grown men was strange, Liu Ruo Qing still followed it.

Yan Yuan looked at the hand that was suddenly placed on his palm. His hand was extremely cold, as though he couldn't cover it with his hand no matter how hard he tried.

When he thought about Qing Er, Yan Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the person in front of him was looking at him with a pair of confused eyes, like a cute and obedient pet.

This silly look of hers made the corner of Yan Yuan's mouth twitch. "Balls."

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, then understood that Yan Yuan was waving his hands at her to ask for a ball, not...

She was so embarrassed that her ears were burning, she quickly took her hands from Yan Yuan's and placed the bamboo ball into Yan Yuan's hands.

He was clearly the man that he was the most familiar with, yet Liu Ruo Qing was so embarrassed that he couldn't show his face. His ears were getting hotter and hotter, and thinking of his foolish expression just now, he couldn't wait to find a place to hide.

"Little... I'll take my leave. "

Just as Liu Ruo Qing was about to escape in front of Yan Yuan, a person hurriedly rushed in from outside the Duke Palace, and directly bumped into her.

Liu Ruo Qing's chest hurt from the impact, she looked up to see a familiar face.

Meng Hui?

Meng Hui did not recognize her at the moment, maybe she really met with an emergency. After running into her, she did not even look at her, and rushed to Yan Yuan's front, "Prince Jing, it's bad, Xiao San is gone."

Xiao San...

This was the habitual way Meng Hui addressed her. Liu Ruo Qing had long since heard it, so when she heard Meng Hui say that Xiao San had disappeared, her expression immediately changed.

Without waiting for Yan Yuan to speak, she rushed in front of him like a madman and grabbed onto her clothes, using all her strength to make Meng Hui unable to breathe.

"Why is it gone? Isn't he in the palace? With so many guards in the palace, how could the young son disappear! "

Meng Hui was so shocked by the huge reaction of this strange man in front of him that she was stunned for a few seconds. She did not know who this man was and why he reacted so badly when he heard that the young son had disappeared.

But at the moment, she did not have the mind to know his identity. Looking at Yan Yuan, she anxiously said: "I will accompany Xiao San and Xun Er in the longevity palace to play hide and seek. There were always palace maids by their side, but they were drugged and drugged."

Meng Hui told Yan Yuan about the young son's disappearance in detail.

"The emperor has already sent people to search around the palace. From the clues left at the scene, it looks like Little San was taken out of the palace."

Yan Yuan's face was extremely ugly, but compared to Liu Ruo Qing's panic, he was much calmer.

"What did those palace maids say?"

Liu Ruo Qing was trembling from head to toe, her eyes nervously staring at Meng Hui's face, her body swaying slightly.

Seeing Meng Hui frown, her expression was one of hesitation, "The palace maid said …"

"What did the palace maid say? Hurry up and say it!"

Liu Ruo Qing growled at her.

"The palace maids said that the one who took Xiao San away was Ruo Qing."

"Impossible!" How could that be! That palace maid is talking nonsense! "

Even Yan Yuan noticed it. Especially after she heard that the young son was taken away by Liu Ruo Qing earlier, his rebutting tone made Yan Yuan feel that it was somewhat strange.

"It can't be the Crown Princess Jing! It definitely wasn't her! Where's that palace maid? You let her come over, I want to personally ask her. She must be trying to shirk her responsibilities, so you had to ask her to come over! "

Meng Hui could not help but look at this stranger who had such an intense reaction.

She looked at him, confused: "How are you so sure it's not Crown Princess Jing?"

Although she also felt that the possibility wasn't high, why did this person use such a certain tone to come to such a conclusion?

Although Yan Yuan did not speak, his gaze was still filled with suspicion as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing.

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, only then did she realize that as someone who was not related to the young son at all, her reaction was too big, and what was more, the tone she used earlier was extremely suspicious.

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to calm down and said, "I have heard of the relationship between the prince and his wife. The princess clearly knew that the young son was the prince's blood relative, so how could she secretly take him away like this? Furthermore, didn't Crown Princess Jing say that she had already … Is he dead? "

She tried to calm herself down so that her thoughts would not be disturbed, but the fingertips under the cuffs had sunk into the flesh from her excessive panic.

At this moment, only she knew clearly, that Heng Er had definitely been taken away by someone with ulterior motives, as for whether that palace maid pushed the responsibility away to lie, or if there really was someone who looked similar to her taking Heng Er away, that had yet to be verified.

Although her explanation made sense, he couldn't completely trust Yan Yuan.

Previously, he had believed that Qing Er was already dead, but the various indications made him feel that Qing Er might really not be dead.

"Let's enter the palace first."

In the end, he left behind these words, and walked out. Liu Ruo Qing quickly followed, "Your Highness, I want to go as well."

Yan Yuan frowned, he wanted to say why he was following his, but when she saw the panic in his eyes, he refused, "Follow me."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded and followed closely behind Yan Yuan.

"Prepare the horses."

The carriage was right at the door, so Yan Yuan did not have the patience to ride on it, although he looked calm on the outside, but the one who disappeared was his own son, how could he not be nervous?

There was another reason, and that was because the palace maids said that the one who brought Heng Er away was Qing Er.

If it really was Qing Er, he had to rush over and protect her before she was caught.

He had already lost her once, and there was no way he could lose her a second time.

The guard quickly brought two horses over. When Meng Hui came, he also arrived on horseback.

Liu Ruo Qing's hand that was holding onto the reins of the horse was trembling. Her son was only four years old.
