C872 Of course 872 was not a wangfei

He was so young, he would definitely be scared …

"Giddy up!"

She kept beating the horse beneath her, trying to get it to speed up.

It wasn't easy for her to arrive at the palace gate, so she jumped off her horse. Without waiting for Yan Yuan, she rushed towards the palace gate.

"Who dares to barge into the palace gates!"

"Scram!"

Liu Ruo Qing kicked away the palace guards who were blocking her path, and immediately rushed towards the palace.

When the guards saw this scene, they were about to draw their sabers when they heard a loud shout, "Stop!"

Seeing that it was Yan Yuan, the guards raised their blades and stopped, "Greetings Prince Jing."

"Yes."

Yan Yuan walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side and looked at her panicking eyes with suspicion. He knew that this brat really liked Heng Er and Heng Er was indeed very likeable.

The more Liu Ruo Qing thought about it, the more scared she became, she was in no mood to pay attention to Yan Yuan's gaze. Seeing that the guards did not stop her, she quickly ran in the direction of the longevity palace.

Yan Yuan followed behind her. Seeing that she was extremely familiar with the palace, the suspicion in his eyes deepened.

Just who was he? How could he be so familiar with the palace?

If not for Mr. Lu confirming his identity for him, he would still suspect that he was Qing Er.

Liu Ruo Qing rushed straight to the longevity palace. It was already a mess within the longevity palace, with the Kaiser and the empress dowager both in the hall. They kneeled in front of the two palace maids who were in charge of taking care of the young son.

"The Emperor …"

She originally wanted to call out 'royal sister-in-law', but she immediately realized who she was and changed her words. "Empress Dowager, may I ask if you found young son?"

Faced with this strange young man's question, the empress dowager knitted her brows and asked, "Who are you?"

Right now, she was feeling extremely anxious. A youth suddenly appeared out of nowhere to ask about the whereabouts of her child, causing her to feel even more confused.

"I... Small... This little one is Prince Jing's bodyguard. "

Although he was a bodyguard of the King Jing Palace, he was worried that his son was right. However, even his master didn't say anything, so why would it be his turn to ask the empress dowager where his son was?

She did not have the mood to punish her for such a heinous crime. Of course, she would ignore him, who was a little guard, and only looked at Yan Yuan, who had entered the room after his, with an apologetic look.

He opened his mouth, but did not know how to reply.

Seeing that the empress dowager didn't pay attention to her and didn't think too much, Liu Ruo Qing wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Yan Yuan who was walking over to her side.

Yan Yuan looked at her with a profound gaze, then shook his head at her. No matter what kind of identity this brat had, he could tell that his nervousness towards Heng Er was real.

"Royal Uncle, don't worry, we have already sent the Imperial Guards to search. We will definitely find Heng Er and bring him back."

Every single time he saw this head of white hair, he would feel a little upset in his heart, and would not dare to face him. He had originally wanted to compensate more to his younger cousin for this, but unfortunately, Heng Er was snatched away by someone from the Imperial Palace.

If something were to happen to him, then what face would he have to face the Ninth Imperial Uncle in the future?

Yan Yuan only nodded indifferently. He no longer had his former closeness to the nephew of Kaiser in front of him.

Yan Shuo knew clearly that no matter how much respect he had on the surface, it was only for his subjects to face the Sovereign King. The closeness of an uncle to his nephew was long gone.

He also knew that the Ninth Imperial Uncle had never forgiven him.

"They are the palace maids that are in charge of taking care of Heng Er?"

Yan Yuan pointed to the two palace maids kneeling in front of the empress dowager, and asked indifferently.

"Right."

The two palace maids had lived in the palace for the past few days and had always been under their care. They had never made any mistakes, so she never expected that something like this would happen to her.

"My lord, please spare my life! My lord, please spare my life!"

When the two palace maids saw Yan Yuan, they continuously kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Yan Yuan did not get angry, but his calm demeanor was worth thinking about.

"All of you, get up first."

The palace maid was stunned for a moment before she shakily stood up, lowered her eyes and trembled all over.

"Tell me about the situation."

"Yes."

After the two palace maids looked at each other, they tried their best to recall the details.

"The young son told the First Prince that he wanted to play hide and seek, and Miss Meng Hui accompanied them. The servant and the servant followed them the whole time, and when I heard young son say that he had hidden himself, I became dizzy and didn't have the strength to stand on my feet anymore. Before I fainted, I heard the young son call my mother, my mother, and my servant saw a blurry shadow, and she carried the young son away, but the young son didn't cry, and followed along …"

The palace maid was so frightened that she once again kneeled down. "Following that, this servant and this servant do not know anything. Prince, please spare my life. Please spare my life."

The palace maids had already repeated the words of the empress dowager and Kaiser once more, but this time they repeated it again, causing the empress dowager and Kaiser's expressions to grow darker and darker.

Everyone knew that when the Crown Princess Jing fell from the boundless cliff that day, there was no possibility of him surviving, so why would she appear in the Imperial Palace to carry the young son away?

However, the two palace maids had a clean background, and they hadn't done anything suspicious recently, so there was no reason for them to lie.

Yan Yuan's sullen face did not speak. Only he knew, but at this moment, his heart was in turmoil.

If not for the fact that they saw Qing Er with their own eyes, even if they had lied, they would not have brought out a Crown Princess Jing that everyone knew was already dead to lie.

In other words, it was very likely that they had really seen Qing Er before.

Yan Yuan was simply unable to calm down in his heart. His brows were knit together as he asked the palace maid to confirm: "Did you two really personally see the wangfei?"

Two palace maids who were trembling in fear looked at Yan Yuan. Soon after, another palace maid said, "Reporting to Your Highness, this servant didn't see Princess Consort's face clearly, but I did hear young son call her mother …"

She wanted to say something, but when she calmed down, she knew that the imperial palace was not the place she was worried about.

After exiting the palace, Liu Ruo Qing could no longer hold back. She grabbed Yan Yuan's arm and said, "My prince, the person who carried away the crown prince is definitely not the wangfei. You must bring the crown prince back, Your Highness!"

Yan Yuan looked at the hands that were grabbing his arm. At this time, because he was holding hands too much, the white finger bones were protruding very obviously, and because he was too nervous, he could even feel her body trembling.

Yan Yuan creased his eyebrows. From start to finish, he felt that this person's identity was definitely not as simple as just Qin Xuan's bodyguards.
