Chapter seven hundred and thirty-eight, the imperial concubine is invited
Capital City, Imperial Palace.
Previously, the matter of General Xie's rebellion was aroused and everyone in the city knew about it.
Now, time has passed away everything, the noisy discussions have gradually subsided, and everything is back on track.
Concubine Jing would come over every day to pay her respects to the Crown Princess, and today was no exception. However, just as she was about to leave after paying her respects, she was stopped by the Crown Princess.
"Have you ever seen King Han these days?" the Crown Princess asked with a graceful, dignified and condescending posture.
"When I returned to my mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law ordered people out of the palace several times to invite King Han to enter the palace, but King Han refused because he was busy with official duties and had no time to spare. My daughter-in-law was also very worried about him. After all, Princess Han left, and she was not interested in him.
The influence must be great." Concubine Jing bowed quickly and said.
She knew that the Crown Princess loved and loved Chu Han the most, so she must be worried about Chu Han when she asked.
"Princess Han?" The Crown Princess's voice suddenly deepened, "These three words should not come out of your mouth, Concubine Jing! She is a traitor and is no longer my royal daughter-in-law!"
"Mother and Concubine Mingjian," Concubine Jing heard this and immediately bowed to defend Xie Yao, "Princess Han has helped King Han escape from difficulties many times and has a deep love for King Han and his wife. She should not be called a traitor."
"Are you questioning the Ai family?" The Crown Princess's tone became more serious for a moment, and there was also a hint of coldness.
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Concubine Jing bowed.
The Crown Princess glanced at Concubine Jing and asked coldly, "If she is not a traitor, why is her whereabouts unknown now? As early as when General Xie robbed the secret prison and left the capital, Xie Yao disappeared! She must be Mr. Xie
The general’s accomplice!”
"If you dare to join forces with General Xie to rob a secret prison in the palace, what are you other than a traitor?"
Concubine Jing bowed deeper, but still persisted in what she said, "I would like to inform my concubine, the guards who were guarding the palace that day said that there was no woman among the group of people who robbed General Xie. Moreover, the Emperor's
The imperial edict only said that General Xie had conspired to rebel, but did not mention Princess Han..."
"How dare you use the emperor to oppress the Ai family?" When the imperial concubine saw that concubine Jing had spoken for Xie Yao many times, her face turned cold and she scolded her coldly.
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare, please calm down my mother-in-law." Concubine Jing said repeatedly.
"With a mother-in-law like you, how can King Han get rid of Xie Yao's shadow? Go and pass on the Ai family's decree, saying that the Ai family wants to see King Han and let him enter the palace as soon as possible!" The Crown Princess said with a slight expression on her face.
The anger and coercion slowly spread out.
Xie Yao is just a traitor, she must not be allowed to influence Chu Han!
It's just the position of Princess Han. Without Xie Yao, she can just arrange another one for Chu Han!
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will take care of it now." Seeing this, Concubine Jing did not dare to disobey the Crown Princess anymore and ordered someone to invite Chu Han.
…
Prince Han's Mansion.
Ever since Xie Yao left, the atmosphere in Prince Han's Mansion has never been as relaxed and happy as before. It seems as if it has been shrouded in dark clouds. The atmosphere is heavy and makes people feel depressed.
Everyone knows that this is related to the disappearance of Princess Han.
In the study, Chu Han was sitting behind the desk, with no expression on his face, but his whole face had become thinner.
The protruding bones make his whole person look harsher and harsher.
"Prince Qi, people outside the city have sent back the latest news, but no new clues have been found." Wu Feng reported truthfully.
"Hmm." Chu Han made a sound from his nose.
Wu Feng hesitated for a moment and tentatively suggested: "Your Majesty, the princess has been missing for some time, and almost all the search forces outside the city have withdrawn. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find new clues if we continue the search. How about..."
Chu Han raised his head, and his dark eyes instantly turned to Wu Feng with a cold light, and asked in a deep voice, "What's better?"
The room temperature drops sharply.
Wu Feng felt as if he had been struck by two ice knives. His whole body was stiff from the cold, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "It's better to withdraw the people first and use them for other things. The princess doesn't know where she is at this moment. Anyway,
It is far away from the capital. Even if there are any clues left, they have been wiped out and cannot be verified."
Chu Han's eyes were extremely cold, and his tone was extremely hard, "Searching outside the city is the only way I can find her at present! Even if every inch of land outside the city is dug up to three feet, I will not hesitate!
"
"Remember, even in the past month or year, the people searching outside the city are not allowed to withdraw even one person! Until there are clues about her, or there is a better way to find her!"
The voice is as firm as a mountain, making people feel as if they are being pressed down by a mountain. There is actually a sense of breathlessness and oppression, and the whole heart is heavy and sore!
Wu Feng did not dare to persuade anymore and quickly changed the topic, "Miss Wu Peiya finally agreed to leave yesterday, and Beizhi has ordered someone to send her back to the Wu Mansion. It's just Ziqing... No matter how Beizi persuaded her, she refused to leave and insisted on staying.
Fuyunxuan."
Since the princess left, Wu Peiya and Ziqing have been staying in Fuyunxuan, refusing to leave no matter what. Although Wu Peiya has left now, he can feel that Wu Peiya is looking for the princess in order to use the energy of the Wu Mansion.
Chu Han was silent for a moment, "Since Zi Qing doesn't want to leave, let's leave her to clean the yard for the princess."
"Yes." Wu Feng responded.
At this moment, a servant came in from the outside. After entering, he quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing sent someone to invite the prince to the palace. She said that she was following the imperial concubine's order to invite you to come."
"I know, go tell the people who come, and I will enter the palace immediately." Chu Han said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'm resigning." The servant quickly left.
Hearing this, Wu Feng was a little confused, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jing has sent people to invite you many times before, but you have refused. Why did you agree to enter the palace this time?"
Chu Han stood up, but there was still no expression on his face, and his tone was cold, "The queen mother wants to see me, and if I don't go, the queen will not be angry with me. Now, the queen wants to see me through the mouth of the queen.
King, if I don’t see you, the royal grandmother will not blame me, but she will not blame my mother and concubine.”
"Go and ask Shan Quan to prepare the carriage. I will eventually go to the palace."
"Yes, let's do this humble duty." Wufeng accepted the order and retreated.
After a while, Chu Han packed up, left Prince Han's Mansion, got on the carriage and went straight to the palace.
In the carriage, Chu Han was sitting upright, his eyes steady and determined.
Xie Yao has been missing for so long, it's time for him to show up.
Although Xie Yaoren is not in Prince Han's Mansion, the position of Princess Han has always been hers.
It can only be hers.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace.
Chu Han got off the carriage and was led by the palace servants, and went straight to Yonghua Palace.
When Chu Han entered the palace, the imperial concubine saw from a distance that Chu Han had lost a lot of weight. She stood up directly with distress, "Lao Wu, why have you lost so much weight? Someone came and ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare meals. King Han is staying here today.
