As the queen, even with a knife at her neck, she remained calm. "What are you talking about? Concubine Yu and the little prince are naturally in their chambers. How did you find me here if you wanted to find them?"

When Xie Rou heard this, she couldn't help but push harder with the dagger in her hand, and a trace of red blood could be seen seeping through the queen's white neck.

Xie Rou had just received news that Concubine Yu and the little prince were missing, otherwise she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. Right now, Xie Xu's most important concern was his only heir; he had to be found.

"Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen still wants to save them and their child?" Xie Rou asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You must know that the future heir is Concubine Yu, the only little prince. He has a biological mother. If Concubine Yu dies, you will naturally be able to raise the little prince."

"Isn't this bad?"

Xie Rou whispered to the Queen, she didn't believe that such conditions couldn't impress her.

When the queen heard this, she sneered, "Xie Rou, do you think everyone is the same as you?" The queen's meaning was very clear, she would not reveal the whereabouts of Concubine Yu and the little prince.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

Xie Rou pushed the queen away and stood up. "Someone, keep an eye on the queen." Xie Rou gave the order in a cold voice. Soon, several people came outside the palace and controlled the queen.

The Queen looked a little surprised. She had no idea how Xie Rou had brought people into the palace. "Xie Rou, you are plotting a rebellion!"

Xie Rou curled her lips when she heard this, "So what if it's treason?"

"Now that Xie Sui is not in the capital, there are enemy attacks at the border. Your Majesty is the only one in charge of this huge capital. How long can you stop me?"

"Even if your Majesty isn't afraid of death, you should at least think about Princess Yong'an, who's far away in Zhao State. If you don't tell me, I can let her die at any time. How would Yong'an feel if she knew you abandoned her for two people who had nothing to do with you?"

Xie Rou's words were full of wisdom, and the Queen became hesitant when she heard about Xie Zhiyi.

"I love Yong'an too. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of her and her son, I will let her go." Seeing this, Xie Rou continued to speak. Xie Rou's eyes no longer had the indifferent look of the past.

Now his eyes are full of greed and cruelty.

The queen closed her eyes, her face full of pity, but in the end she said nothing.

Seeing this, Xie Rou was so angry that she wanted to kill her immediately, but she soon calmed down. Even if Concubine Yu and her son were not there, the Queen had to keep them for the time being.

Just when Xie Rou was so angry that she had a headache, someone suddenly walked into the palace under escort.

"Your Highness, we only captured Concubine Yu. When I found her, they were about to escort her out of the palace when I stopped them. I didn't see the whereabouts of the little prince, so they must have gone their separate ways."

"I have already sent people to chase him."

The Queen felt a little nervous when she saw Concubine Yu being captured. She wondered how His Majesty was doing now. She had clearly arranged for the two of them to go together, so why were they separated now?

Xie Rou walked straight up to Concubine Yu and grabbed her chin. "Tell me, where is the little prince?"

Concubine Yu turned her head and glared at Xie Rou, "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you." After saying that, she glared at Xie Rou fiercely. She knew that the Queen had good intentions in sending them away, but she also knew

At this time, only if she stayed could she give her child more time to leave. As long as he was safe, she would not regret it even if she died.

"Since you won't tell me, when I find you, you'll all die!"

Xie Rou spoke fiercely, saying that if she didn't find the most important person now, she would kill these people immediately.

"Keep him under guard and don't let him escape."

Xie Rou gave an order and left Fengyi Palace.

……

Yu Mansion.

After knowing that the palace was in chaos, Yu Wang was waiting for orders at any time. When Wei Heng's people arrived, they wanted to take Yang Nian and Yu Yanlin away, but Yu Yanlin hesitated.

"Mother, let me go with father."

Yu Yanlin spoke with a firm look in his eyes. He had been recovering from his injury for such a long time. Although he could no longer recover to the way he was before, he could not retreat at this moment.

A good while.

Yang Nian looked at Yu Yanlin's expression before making a difficult decision, "Go, be careful." In the end, Yang Nian did not stop Yu Yanlin, knowing that he had his own things he wanted to do.

Yu Guiwan got up the next morning and prepared to go to the courtyard. Although they didn't tell her, she had to go. As soon as Yu Guiwan got up and moved, Xie Sui beside her immediately noticed the movement.

Yu Guiwan leaned down and whispered in Xie Sui's ear: "I'll come back to have dinner with you in the evening." After Yu Guiwan finished speaking, she was about to get up, but Xie Sui took her hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Xie Sui then let go of Yu Guiwan. After washing up and having a simple breakfast, Yu Guiwan went to the courtyard.

As soon as Yu Guiwan left, Xie Sui opened his eyes, which had been closed.

"Bei Chu, are the things ready?"

Xie Sui called out, and Bei Chu, who had already prepared things outside the door, responded, "Your Highness, everything is ready."

……

When Yu Guiwan came over, Afeng, who was guarding the door, nodded to Yu Guiwan. Yu Guiwan responded, "I can go in by myself today." Yu Guiwan, who had been here twice, was already familiar with the place.

Lin Wanzhao saw Yu Guiwan coming and waved at her.

"Awan, how's your hand?"

As she spoke, she had already pulled up Yu Guiwan's hand to examine it. "My grandfather's medicine is very effective, and it will definitely not leave scars." Lin Wanzhao looked proud when saying this.

"There are still some herbs left from yesterday. I'll take you around the herb garden once I finish them today."

"Okay."

Yu Guiwan spoke with a smile and followed Lin Wanzhao inside.

In comparison, Yu Guiwan was much more skilled today. Although he occasionally got scratched, he was much more skilled and faster than yesterday.

Yu Guiwan and Lin Wanzhao were chatting idly again, and she had no idea what was happening outside the courtyard.

Not long after Yu Guiwan left, Xie Sui arrived with a lot of stuff and also came to the Fallen Leaf Courtyard. Just as they reached the door, they were stopped by A Feng, who had been guarding the door. Bei Chu immediately gripped the hilt of his sword, a look of vigilance on his face.

"Those who trespass will die."

Xie Sui raised his hand and asked Bei Chu to come back, "Please inform them that I am only here to deliver something." Xie Sui had a smile on his face, and that smile made it easy for people to let down their guard.

"If you don't trust us, you can send the things in."

Xie Sui noticed that Ah Feng's expression still didn't relax, so he spoke again.
