Song Yao looked at Hua Ying and said helplessly, "She was imprisoned in the cold palace. Who knows if those people will let her out? The reason she did this is nothing more than because the emperor rebelled and imprisoned her in the cold palace. So she did this out of hatred."

After saying that, Song Yao looked at Xiao Chi, her face darkening, "I should have killed her at the beginning. If I had killed her, none of this would have happened."

"Yes!" Xiao Chi nodded, "The worst thing I've ever done in my life is not killing her!"

Song Yao sighed, "It's just that it's no use saying this now."

She looked at Huaying and said, "Huaying, let's go to the palace and look for her. Your Majesty, you stay in Fanghua Palace. If they find her, they will send her here directly."

"it is good."

Xiao Chi wanted to refuse. He wanted to go look for her with Song Yao, but Fanghua Palace always had to keep someone, so he didn't refuse Song Yao.

Then Song Yao and Huaying left.

They came to the east gate of the palace. People usually entered and exited through this gate, which was now heavily guarded.

Song Yao went over to ask, and they said that no one from the palace had left since morning till now. Song Yao told them that if they dared to let anyone out, she would punish them!

Naturally, those officers and soldiers didn't dare to do that, so they promised that they would not let anyone out.

With a nod, Song Yao went to the west gate.

The west gate was also heavily guarded, and they also said that no one was allowed to leave.

This is the west gate, there are also the north gate and the south gate.

Song Yao and Hua Ying went to the north gate again.

The place was still heavily guarded, and she became a little worried because she still hadn't received any news about her son.

Song Yao pinched her eyebrows. Huaying felt uncomfortable seeing her so worried.

"Empress, don't worry, we will definitely find the eldest prince."

Song Yao had already made plans for the worst.

She looked at Huaying, her brows furrowed. She placed her hand on Huaying's shoulder and said, "Huaying, even if you don't find the eldest prince in the end, please don't blame yourself or feel guilty. Maybe that's his fate."

Huaying's eyes reddened and tears welled up in her eyes, "Empress, I..."

"Huaying, don't say anything." Song Yao sighed, "This is destined."

Huaying felt that it was all fate. If she hadn't taken them out to play, the eldest prince wouldn't have been taken away by Queen Dowager Qin. It was all her fault.

She really hoped that Song Yao would hit her or scold her, so that she would feel better. However, Song Yao didn't care about her feelings, didn't hit her, didn't scold her, and didn't even blame her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's go to the South Gate and take a look."

"it is good."

Huaying wiped the tears from her face before following Song Yao to the South Gate.

When we arrived at the South Gate, it was also heavily guarded.

When Song Yao walked over, the officers and soldiers all knelt down and saluted when they saw her. Then they said in unison, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress."

"No gift."

Song Yao waited until they got up before asking, "Did you see anyone taking the eldest prince out?"

One of the officers said, "In reply to the Queen, only three people left during the journey. However, when they left, there were only the three of them, and no one else followed them."

Song Yao nodded and said, "From now on, if anyone sends something out, or pushes something out, you must check it carefully. No matter what they say, even if it's a toilet, you must check it carefully. Don't miss any place where someone could hide."

"Yes, Queen!"

All the officers and soldiers responded.

Song Yao then called Huaying and left.

The other officers and soldiers had already searched every corner of the palace, and the capital had also sent people to guard every city gate. If they still didn't find Xiao Youyou after waiting for another night, then he would probably be...

Back at Fanghua Palace, Xiao Chi was sitting at the table waiting anxiously. He saw Song Yao coming back with only Huaying following her. He had just stood up, but then sat down again.

"Still no news about him?" Xiao Chi frowned, his eyes full of worry.

Song Yao walked up to him, put her hand on his shoulder, nodded and said, "Well, I've checked all four palace gates, but I haven't seen Xiao Youyou. I just don't know if there are other ways to exit the palace."

Xiao Chi grew up in the palace. After hearing Song Yao's words, he thought about it carefully.

The palace is heavily guarded, so there is no such thing as a dog hole because people are sent to check the walls around the palace every month.

After thinking of a way, Xiao Chi couldn't think of any other exit.

He looked at Song Yao, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it, it should be gone."

"Okay." Song Yao sat down, took a deep breath and said, "I hope Xiao Youyou will be okay."

Huaying felt so distressed that she knelt beside them and said, "Empress, Your Majesty, please hit me, scold me, and punish me. Otherwise, I will feel really guilty."

Song Yao looked at Huaying, "Huaying, I've already told you that we won't blame you, so don't blame yourself. It's more important to blame yourself for not being able to find the eldest prince. Huaying, if you really feel guilty, then go to the palace and look for him."

"Yes, Queen."

Huaying kowtowed twice to Song Yao before standing up. She looked at Song Yao and Xiao Chi and said with determination, "Empress, Your Majesty, if anything really happens to the eldest prince, I will definitely pay with my life!"

Without waiting for them to speak, Huaying turned and left.

"Huaying..." Song Yao got up and chased her, but she walked too fast and ended up running away. Song Yao couldn't catch up with her and had to give up.

Song Yao shook her head helplessly. She knew Hua Ying's temper. As long as she said that, if she didn't find Xiao Youyou, then she would definitely...

Song Yao felt very uneasy. She turned around and walked into the hall, walked over to Xiao Chi and sat down.

She looked at Xiao Chi worriedly, "What should we do now? Huaying, that silly girl, will definitely do something stupid."

Xiao Chi was silent for a moment before looking at Song Yao and saying, "The only thing we can do now is to find Xiao Youyou. Only by finding him will Huaying feel better and not commit suicide."

"Ah."

Song Yao nodded, gritted her teeth, and looked at Xiao Chi and said, "Let's go out and look for him too. No matter what, we must find Xiao Youyou."

"it is good!"

Now that Xiao Youyou is missing, Xiao Chi really can't just wait here, so he agrees to go to other places in the palace with Song Yao to look for him.

……

Song House.

When Yuchi Lan's men arrived at the Song family's house, only Song Yuanbai, Su Zhen, and Xie Junyan were sitting in the main hall.

When they saw a stranger coming, Song Yuanbo asked, "Who are you?"

The man's name was Liu San. He said, "Master Song, Lord Yuchi sent me to tell you that the eldest prince has disappeared. He's worried that someone might have taken him out of the imperial city, so he wants you to look for him. The gates to the capital are already guarded, but I don't know if there are any other exits."

Song Yuanbai's pupils shrank. He stood up quickly and looked at Liu San in disbelief. "What did you say? The eldest prince is missing? Wasn't he in the palace? How could he be missing?"
