The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 679 I will definitely be responsible for Chu Lian

Quan Qingcheng began to panic. After several hours, there was still no news. He was afraid that this matter would become a big deal. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Ye Chulian. Such a long time was enough for many things to happen.

He was the emperor. If something like this happened in his palace, he couldn't explain it to the Ye family, let alone his sister Wen Yan. And Ye Chulian was also a sensible girl. She had helped him come up with ideas to trap Guiyue. They had a fighting friendship. If something really happened, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

So he looked at everyone, half lowered his head and said, "I used the method I proposed to look for it before, but I didn't find it. That means my method is wrong. I can't continue to look for it that way. Everyone, do you have any other ideas?"

Quan Qingyun said, "Now that the flying boat has not returned, we cannot be sure whether every corner of the palace has been searched thoroughly. He is good at Qinggong and is hiding in the dark, so he should be more thorough than us, so I suggest we wait for the flying boat to return. In addition, if the flying boat does not find anyone or any clues, we cannot just search in the palace. The person may have been taken out of the palace. In the past few hours, we don’t know how far he has walked."

"She may not have left the palace." Quan Qinghua refuted him. "Today, Yanhua Palace is hosting a banquet for guests. Everyone has only one idea, which is to stay in Yanhua Palace as long as possible. No one will leave the palace early. Even the palace servants have knelt at the foot of Yanhua Mountain. Few people are walking around in the palace. I asked the guards at several palace gates and confirmed that no one left the palace during the banquet. So I think the fifth lady should still be in the palace, but I don't know where she is hidden."

As he said this, he looked at Quan Qingyin again.

Quan Qingyin immediately said, "I have been to Yong'an Palace and Dening Palace, and I have searched all the places where people can hide, even the wells, but I have not found anything. At first I also suspected that it was her who did it, but after searching, I knew it was not her."

The more Quan Qingcheng listened, the more disappointed he felt. How could a living person suddenly disappear? He raised a hand - "Let me make my position clear first. To me, Chu Lian is not only the fifth daughter of the Ye family, nor is she just the sister of the Empress, she is also our partner and friend, so I will never give up on her. No matter what she has experienced or what she has become, I just want to find her back. I have made the worst plan for a girl missing for so long. This is my palace, and I should be responsible if something goes wrong. I will not despise her if others dislike her, and I will definitely want her if others don't want her. In short, I will be responsible for Chu Lian's affairs to the end, and I will not let her suffer any grievances. This is my promise to her, and it is also an explanation to the Ye family."

Zhuier frowned when he heard this, "Are you thinking too much?"

Quan Qingcheng shook his head, "No, I really mean it."

Quan Qinghua glanced at him and said, "I also think you think too much." Quan Qingyun said, "I still say that, the flying boat hasn't come back yet, so things haven't reached that point yet, so don't think too badly of the outcome. In addition, you are the emperor, so you should call yourself "I", not "mine" all the time."

Quan Qingcheng muttered, "There are no outsiders here." Then he became anxious again, "Where should I look for it?"

Finally, Ye Feizhou came back, and Quan Qingcheng immediately rushed over to ask him: "Second brother, did you find anything?"

Ye Feizhou glanced at him and felt that calling him "Second Brother" was a little too natural. But it was not easy to say much at this time, so he just nodded and said, "Yes." Then he stretched out his hand and handed a piece of cloth to everyone. "I recognize this cloth. It is the clothes Chu Lian wore today. I picked it up outside Tianlu Pavilion. I went to Tianlu Pavilion to check. It was locked and there was dust on the lock. I walked around Tianlu Pavilion again. There was a lot of dust on the windows. It seemed that no one had been here for many years. I didn't find any window that showed signs of being entered."

He said this and glanced at Quan Qingcheng, "Your Majesty, do you know Tianlu Pavilion? Do you know why no one has opened that place for many years?"

Quan Qingcheng was stunned by what he said, "What do you mean no one has opened it for years? How did it get covered with dust? It's impossible! Tianlu Pavilion is where books are stored. After I ascended the throne, I often went to Tianlu Pavilion to read books because I didn't have many books before. Sometimes I could sit there until midnight! Because I often go there, the palace servants clean it very carefully. It's impossible for it to be spotless, but it's impossible for it to be covered with dust!"

Ye Feizhou's eyes lit up. Sure enough, there was something wrong! But Ye Qingtong also raised a question at this time: "How did you find out that something was wrong with that place? Didn't others search Tianlu Pavilion?"

The Third Prince said: "That area was allocated to the flying boat, so the others did not go there."

Ye Qingtong understood that her second brother didn't know which parts of the palace had been used and which had not been used, so he didn't find out that there was something wrong with Tianlu Pavilion on the spot. But now that he has discovered it, let's go to Tianlu Pavilion quickly!

She dragged Feng Zhaolian and was about to leave, but was stopped by Quan Qinghua, "Don't go with so many people, otherwise all our careful cover-ups this afternoon will be in vain. If you really want to see them all, then find another reasonable reason."

Quan Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Just go find a book about Su Yuan to prepare for the future fight against Su Yuan."

"Then there shouldn't be these irrelevant people." Quan Qinghua pointed at Ye Qingtong and the others.

Feng Zhaolian said with a smile: "Why is it irrelevant? We are here to help the emperor solve his problems! Besides, after this palace banquet, everyone in the palace knows about our personalities. We can go with them shamelessly, and the palace maids won't say anything when they see us. And it's better to have more people. More people can cover up for Chu Lian, and when she comes out, people won't immediately notice that there is one more person. Quan Qinghua, don't think of beating around the bush to drive me away. You are in the group with the Third Prince, and I am in the group with Qingtong. We are not close to each other. Can you chase me away? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, and go to Tianlu Pavilion!"

The group hurried to Tianlu Pavilion, and Wu Fei and Lian Shi followed them. It was already dark, and it was still raining. Even the stars and the moon were not visible. The rain seemed to be heavier than before. The palace lanterns were basically extinguished. Now they could only rely on the small candles they carried to light the way. Even so, they had to use umbrellas to protect the palace lanterns from the rain. They would rather get drenched than let the palace lanterns go out.

On the way, palace servants kept joining the lantern-carrying team, but Feng Zhaolian and Ye Qingtong drove them away with a smile. The reason was: "We drank too much at the palace banquet and just wanted to get some fresh air. Getting wet in the rain is also an experience. Don't worry about us."

The palace maids did not carry lanterns, and the only ones carrying lanterns were Lian Shi, Wu Fei and Zhuier.

In order to protect the lamp, Zhuier had most of her body outside the oil umbrella, and soon she was soaked through. Seeing this, Quan Qingcheng protected her under his umbrella and kept reminding her: "It doesn't matter if the lamp is out, you will get sick if you get soaked."

Zhuier didn't want to pay attention to him, but still looked up at the sky, then frowned and said, "Didn't they say it would be sunny these few days? Why is it raining so heavily all of a sudden? Is it because the Imperial Astronomical Observatory's calculations are inaccurate?"

After hearing this, Lian Shi hurriedly said, "The sky is changeable, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is not a god after all, so mistakes are inevitable. I just don't know if it has rained in other provinces. It has rained in Lin'an, so it should rain even harder in the southern provinces, right? If it is a rainy season this year, the emperor will have to prepare for floods. At least the court will definitely allocate funds, so the emperor should remember to count the treasury."

Quan Qingcheng nodded, carefully taking note of Lian Shi's words, and began to worry about the flood. He hadn't taken power yet, and if a flood occurred at this time, it would not be a good thing. Even if the regent assisted with all his strength, the people would inevitably have complaints.

As he was thinking this, he heard Ye Qingtong, who was walking behind him, said loudly: "We should not only consider flood control, but also remember to fight against people's hearts. I am afraid that some people will secretly spread rumors, saying that the new emperor encountered a flood in the first year of his accession to the throne. This is not a good sign. Just because he is not the legitimate son, God does not recognize this emperor. Some people, in order to fight for power, can do anything. The emperor can only make sure that the regent dare not do anything, but he cannot control other people. So the emperor should be careful. Some of your brothers have a lot of thoughts!" Everyone understood that she said this to the Sixth Prince, but not everyone understood why the second lady of the Ye family hated the Sixth Prince so much. Feng Zhaolian didn't know about this originally, but after the series of events in Yanhua Palace, her memory was preserved, so she can now understand and experience Ye Qingtong's feelings, and her impression of the Sixth Prince is not very good.

"Yes, some people look like human beings on the surface, but they are actually real dogs." Feng Zhaolian was never polite when speaking. After he finished speaking, he kicked the water twice, just in time to kick behind Quan Qingyin.

Quan Qingyin was not angry either. He just turned his head to look at Ye Qingtong and said, "I won't trip you up like that." Then he turned back and pointed ahead - "We've arrived at Tianlu Pavilion."

Because it was dark and rainy, Tianlu Pavilion closed its doors early. Ye Feizhou pointed to a place and said, "That's where we found the cloth. There's only Tianlu Pavilion nearby. If we're not mistaken, the person must be here."

Quan Qingcheng went forward and knocked on the door. After the palace servants opened the gate and saw that it was the emperor, they immediately knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor" in unison.

After this palace banquet, Quan Qingcheng worshipped the Emperor as his master and gained more than 400 years of life experience from the Emperor. Now in everyone's eyes, he is no longer the same as before. The palace people also respect this little emperor more.

Quan Qingcheng said, "I was thinking about the matter of Crown Prince Su Yuan, and the more I thought about it, the more worried I became, so I thought of coming here to look through the records about Su Yuan. You guys open the Tianlu Pavilion, and then stand guard outside the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
