Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

"Didn't Huai'an go missing? How could it be…"

Guo spoke quickly and couldn't help asking out loud.

However, just as he finished his words, Huai'an, who was about to throw himself into the empress dowager's arms, suddenly stopped.

"Does Princess Yu really want me to disappear?"

Huai'an looked at Guo with aggrieved eyes, "Obviously, I didn't offend Princess Yu."

The little guy was shedding tears, and the Queen Mother felt extremely distressed. "Oh, my dear, please stop crying."

"She's talking nonsense. Huai'an is so well-behaved and sensible, how could she possibly want you to disappear?"

Huai'an's eyes were red, and he called out "Grandmother" in a wronged tone, then looked at Emperor Yuan Qing.

"Uncle Huang, is Huai'an annoying?"

Emperor Yuan Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he squatted down to comfort the little guy, "Huai'an is the most likable child I have ever seen."

He is also the best at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

"But Prince Yu and Princess Yu don't like Huai'an, and they hope Huai'an will meet with an accident."

Guo's legs went limp and she knelt on the ground, knocking her head heavily on the floor. "No, absolutely not."

Emperor Yuan Qing directly challenged Prince Yu, "Has Huai'an offended you two before?"

Prince Yu did not dare to take it lightly and quickly shook his head to deny, "No, as the emperor said, Huai'an is a well-behaved and lovable child. I like him so much that I can't wait to see him."

"So, you two each said Huai'an is missing?"

"My wife has spoken out of turn, please calm down, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Qing glanced at Prince Yu with disdain, and sat down behind the Queen Mother with Huai'an.

"Mother, don't listen to what others say. Huai'an has always been with me."

The Queen Mother looked towards the direction of Meng Yunshang and Lu Chenxiao with doubt.

Meng Yunshang half closed her eyelids and remained silent.

Lu Chenxiao answered on his behalf, "My brother loves Huai'an so much that he asked Eunuch Shun to take him over. This was originally a trivial matter, but I didn't expect that it gave others an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that my mother heard so many bad words. It turns out that I have been too easy to talk to recently."

The Queen Mother was stunned, feeling that there was something else behind his words.

It was obvious that he felt sorry for her hearing such unpleasant words, but when he listened carefully,

I always felt that he was more angry that Meng Yunshang was being framed behind her back.

After a moment's thought, the Queen Mother expressed her attitude very seriously, "I am worried about Huai'an's disappearance, but I don't completely believe what Guo said."

Lu Yuanjing explained stiffly, "Old Nine, this is really a misunderstanding. We didn't know that the emperor had sent someone to pick up Huai'an. We just thought Huai'an was in danger, so we hurriedly came to ask the queen mother for help."

Guo nodded in agreement, "Yes, I really just want to help find Huai'an."

Lu Chenxiao sneered unceremoniously, "Do your children know that you are so idle?"

Lu Yuanjing was stunned, "What does Laojiu mean by this?"

Lu Chenxiao raised his chin towards the door, motioning Lu Yuanjing to look there.

Lu Yuanjing turned around and saw his attendant looking inside anxiously.

Emperor Yuan Qing also saw it. He frowned and rebuked, "How shameless to be sneaky!"

Eunuch Shun understood immediately and pushed his attendant into the hall. Before he even got to the front, the attendant knelt down on his knees.

"My Lord, this is bad. Our Crown Prince is missing, and our Second Miss is also missing."

"What!" Lu Yuanjing stood up in shock.

Guo asked in a shrill voice, "What's going on? Aren't the prince and the young lady in the palace of Concubine Chen?"

The attendant explained tremblingly, "The Concubine Dowager was tired, so she asked the prince and the young lady to play in the garden. The young lady said she was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so the nanny left for a while. When the nanny brought tea, the prince and the young lady were gone, and the other servants were all knocked unconscious and didn't know anything when asked."

Lu Yuanjing looked at Lu Chenxiao almost immediately, "You did it, right?"

"Why did you kidnap my children? Lu Chenxiao, don't go too far!"

Lu Chenxiao said with disdain, "For so many years, I have never minded that you are not very smart, but are you sure you want to be so bold in front of the emperor?"

Lu Yuanjing was shocked. Sure enough, he heard Emperor Yuan Qing ask him, "If your child is missing, go find him right away. Why are you questioning Ah Xiao like this? Could it be that Ah Xiao knows the whereabouts of your children?"

"Of course he..." Lu Yuanjing was about to say that Lu Chenxiao must know.

The moment Huai'an appeared, he had already guessed that his plan had probably failed.

But he didn't expect that Lu Chenxiao would retaliate so openly.

"How is Ah Xiao?" Emperor Yuan Qing asked seriously, as if he hadn't noticed Lu Yuanjing's dark face.

Lu Yuanjing gritted his teeth and changed his words, "I made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Qing said lightly, "I thought Prince Yu was going to say that the disappearance of your children was related to Xiao. If you really think so, I will have to say a few fair words for Xiao."

Of course, when you protect someone's shortcomings, you have to do it openly and aboveboard.

So what if Lu Yuanjing is not convinced? He has to hold it in.

"Your Majesty is right. This has nothing to do with Old Nine."

Lu Yuanjing is almost becoming a grandson.

Although Guo didn't say anything, her icy cold gaze was always on Meng Yunshang's face, as if she wanted to find some clues from her face.

But Meng Yunshang's expression was dull, and when she met Guo's eyes, she sighed in a cold voice.

"Princess Yu, you are such a fool. You carried the child for ten months and gave birth to him. It's fine if you don't pay attention to him normally, but how can you only care about your own happiness and leave your two children to others to take care of in an occasion like today?"

These words sound so familiar.

This was exactly what Guo had just said to the empress dowager. At that time, she wanted to throw the dirty water of adultery on Meng Yunshang, so she said the most unpleasant things.

Now she was being hit back by Meng Yunshang, and her face turned blue with anger.

But Meng Yunshang hadn't finished yet.

"Speaking of which, Princess Yu is lucky. Not only is she not worried about her children's disappearance, but she is also forgiven by Prince Yu. Unlike me just now, I was worried that I would be held accountable for my son's disappearance."

Good guy.

This sentence not only implies that Lu Yuanjing and Guo did not care about their children's lives, but also that Empress Dowager Yin Yang believed in slander.

Guo was worried that Lu Yuanjing really thought that she didn't care about her children, so she quickly explained, "How could I not be anxious? I just..."

Huai'an, who had been silent for a long time, tilted his head and asked Guo, "If you really care about your children, why didn't you go looking for them when you knew they were missing?"

"Or is this just a play you staged and performed for the sake of gaining comfort and benefits from my uncle the Emperor?"

"of course not!"

Guo and Lu Yuanjing denied it at the same time.

"Then why don't you leave?"

As soon as Huai'an's naive words came out, Lu Yuanjing could no longer stand and hurriedly dragged Guo out.

When crossing the threshold, Huai'an sighed in a baby voice behind him, "Alas, Lu Honglang is so pitiful to have such parents~"

Lu Yuanjing's steps froze and he almost tripped and fell.

The eunuch who rushed in from outside the palace was startled. He knelt down at the threshold without even entering the palace and reported loudly:

"Your Majesty, there is news from the cold palace that the queen is pregnant!"
