Chapter 307: Searching in Vain

Chapter 307

The candlelight was warm and cozy, the layers upon layers of golden orange light made people dizzy.

The hall was extremely quiet, the creaking sound of the imperial crib seemed to still echo in Song Zhao's ears,

but the swaddling clothes were already empty.

Song Zhao gently stroked the still warm swaddling clothes, her complexion instantly turned pale and bloodless.

She was extremely anxious, but she had to force herself to calm down first.

If she panicked at this moment, Cheng Yu would be in even greater danger.

Song Zhao took a deep breath and looked at Yun Shan who was supporting her. She said in a trembling voice, Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

"Go take a look at Xiao Fuzi."

At this moment, Xiao Jingheng also rushed over with a large group of people.

Seeing the scene before him, astonishment and wonder filled his worried brows.

He put his arm around Song Zhao's shoulders and advised in a low voice, "Don't panic, don't panic. This is in the palace, Cheng Yu will be fine!"

The moment his broad palm came down, Song Zhao only felt her right shoulder weighed down as if by a thousand pounds.

This heaviness did not give her any sense of security at all, on the contrary, it was as if it knocked her heart down into the eternal cold hell.

The ominous premonition in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Song Zhao raised her already misty tearful eyes to look at Xiao Jingheng.

She wanted to say something, but the tremendous grief and panic intertwined and surged in her heart,

choking in her throat, she could only let out sobs.

Xiao Jingheng looked at her with eyes full of distress as he gently wiped away her tears. He angrily shouted at the palace maids,

"Pass on my order, the keys to the palace gates are not to be given to anyone! No one who attended tonight's banquet at Jiuxiao Palace is allowed to leave until the Crown Prince is found! I want to see who dares to be so presumptuous right under this Emperor's nose!"

Song Zhao said, "I didn't tell you to just do your best, I said you must save his life! If he doesn't wake up and it delays me from finding out what happened to Cheng Yu, I will send you up to heaven immediately!"

Guo Imperial Physician had never seen Song Zhao like this before.

To be precise, he had never seen any imperial concubine from the harem act in this way.

While frightened into a cold sweat, he also didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Song Zhao watched over Guo Imperial Physician the entire time he treated Xiao Fuzi.

She prayed wholeheartedly to all the gods and Buddha, and kept murmuring to herself,

"Nothing will happen, nothing will happen to Cheng Yu..."

Yun Shan was also extremely distressed and advised Song Zhao while holding back tears, "Don't worry Imperial Concubine, with His Majesty overseeing everything, the Crown Prince will be safe and sound."

"His Majesty..."

Song Zhao lightly pursed her lips, tears falling down her face.

She had always been sober and intelligent,

but this time, although she knew something was suspicious, she didn't dare to think too deeply...

At the same time, Jiuxiao Palace was also in chaos.

Xiao Jingheng had the imperial concubines moved to the warm pavilion and had Imperial Concubine Ying responsible for interrogating them.

As for those foreign envoys, he and the hastily summoned Minister of Justice interrogated them together.

All the servants in the palace also received the imperial order to search every corner of the palace like headless flies, not willing to overlook any place.

But after three hours, it was almost the third watch of the night, and there was still no trace of Cheng Yu.

He seemed to have just evaporated from this deep palace...
