The commander of the East Palace Guards quickly sent back accurate news:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, after leaving the East Palace, head towards the Yanshou Palace."
"On the way, I met His Highness the First Prince, and then we went to the West Palace together with His Highness."
"At that time, there was only one guard, Xiang, beside the prince. It is unknown what the two masters said specifically."
"But it is said that after hearing what His Highness said, the Crown Prince's expression immediately changed."
"The prince didn't ask any questions and followed the main hall to the West Palace."
Yan Yi frowned and said, "So, it has something to do with the eldest brother?"
The relationship between the eldest prince and the eldest son of Prince Kang...
Oh no, it should be said to be grudges!
There is no need to hide it anymore.
These women, who are cousins, are a pair of concubines.
And these two sisters are at odds with each other, and naturally, the men who are them also become their antagonists.
In addition, Yan Peiyu has always been a prince, so of course he will not be too close to Yan Xiang.
Yan Xiang called Yan Peiyu to the West Palace, which must be up to no good.
Not to mention that their grudges are complicated now, even in the past, if Yan Xiang asked Yan Peiyu to go to the West Palace, Yan Peiyu would not go.
Today, the reason why Yan Peiyu followed him was naturally because he was threatened.
Otherwise, Yan Peiyu couldn't just leave the Crown Princess with whom he had made an appointment and go to the West Palace to drink and have tea with the eldest prince, right?
That's the logic.
Yan Yi asked: "Is the eldest prince still in the West Palace?"
The commander of the East Palace Guards replied: "In response to Your Highness, I have specifically asked the general, and I am very sure that the eldest prince has left the palace before noon."
Yan Yi looked at Ying Cailan and said, "Now, only three moments have passed since the eldest brother left the palace."
In other words, Yan Peiyu disappeared for three quarters of an hour.
Ying Cailan said: "But there is no news about the prince, and Xiang Chong is nowhere to be seen."
Knowing that it was Yan Xiang who called Yan Peiyu, Yan Xiang left the palace on his own, but Yan Peiyu was nowhere to be seen.
Who would believe that it has nothing to do with Yan Xiang?
So far in this investigation, no one has seen Yan Peiyu and his bodyguard Xiang Chong leave the West Palace.
It can be seen that Yan Peiyu should still be in the West Palace!
Ying Cailan still knows that men in this era always tend to prefer women who are weaker.
Oh no.
Even in modern times, it is the same.
Looking at those mercenary dads, they don’t really like to find companions.
For a bed partner, look for someone who looks more delicate.
Therefore, she looked worried and said: "Your Highness, what should I do if something happens to the prince? How will I face the prince and princess when I go back?"
Due to both emotion and reason, Yan Yi could not sit idly by and said, "You stay in the East Palace and wait for news, and let the Crown Princess sit with you for a while."
It can be said that it is quite a favor to let the Crown Princess accompany the Crown Princess!
The princess is still pregnant!
Of course Ying Cailan could only sit down and wait.
The forbidden palace is so big, she can't just run around looking for Yan Peiyu's whereabouts, right?
Seeing her and the princess sitting in the side hall, Yan Ji, who had been silently watching the excitement as an invisible person, was sitting with Yan Yi in the main hall, waiting for news.
Yan Ji has always been a bit afraid of the prince, and he dared not express his arrogance.
But with this matter in front of him, it was hard for him to leave.
"Third Emperor Brother, why are you with the Crown Princess?" Yan Yi asked him.
Yan Ji replied: "I just left the East Palace. Thinking that I didn't pay greetings to the imperial grandmother this morning, I wanted to make up for it. I met the imperial concubine near Yanshou Palace and heard from her that Yan Peiyu was missing. , why don’t you just come and take a look.”
I dare not say that I came here to watch the fun.
Yan Yi glanced at him. He had just left his palace and had said everything he needed to say. He didn't say anything at this time.
Side hall.
The Crown Princess came over quickly and comforted her gently: "Prince Princess, don't worry, no news is good news!"
"Thank you, Princess!" Ying Cailan sat down with her, holding a cup of tea in her hand.
The Crown Princess's pregnant belly was already showing. Even though she was wearing a thin shirt, it was loose and the shape of her belly could not be seen.
However, judging from the princess's complexion, she seems to have taken good care of herself.
The Crown Princess saw her glance at her belly, raised her hand to touch her belly, and said with a smile: "I don't even go out much now. I didn't go to Prince Kang's birthday yesterday."
"It's really better to be cautious." Ying Cailan didn't say anything: Look at what Ying Caiyue did, she had to run around while pregnant.
No, God is watching.
What is supposed to come will come sooner or later, and no one who is supposed to go can escape!
Since the occasion was inappropriate, she didn't mention it.
Seeing her lack of interest, the Crown Princess raised another topic: "I heard that you made some beauty cream?"
Ying Cailan: "..."
Everyone is paying attention to this matter.
Women, the topic can never be separated from men, children, and beauty!
Therefore, the market for women has the greatest potential.
"There is a saying that there are no ugly women, only lazy women." She cheered up and said, "I just can't sit still, so I usually like to tinker with these things."
After a pause, she said wisely: "When I find the crown prince, I will have some sent to the palace after I return. I will also teach the crown princess how to use it!"
The princess asked: "Can I use it even if I am pregnant?"
Ying Cailan nodded: "Don't worry, they are all made of non-irritating, pure natural materials."
The Crown Princess looked expectant: "Thank you in advance."
After chatting for a few words, the results of the investigation finally came from outside:
"His Royal Highness, we found Guard Xiang tied up in Le'an Palace!"
"The guard passed out. It is suspected that he was drugged."
"The prince's whereabouts are still unknown!"
Hearing that there was news, Ying Cailan walked out quickly.
As soon as she heard the word "drug", she quickly asked: "Where is Xiang Chongren?"
The commander of the East Palace Imperial Guard had people carry Xiang Chong over.
The stretcher was placed in the main hall, and the ropes around Xiang Chong's body had been untied.
Ying Cailan walked over quickly.
After squatting down, place your hand on Xiang Chong's wrist to check for pulse.
After a while, she took off the needle bag on her wrist, opened it, took out the silver needle, and began to inject Xiang Chong.
As soon as the Nine-Nine Soul Captivating Needle Formation came out, there was a "buzz" sound, indicating that the formation was successfully formed.
Xiang Chong opened his eyes after a moment.
"Are you so awesome?" Yan Ji exclaimed, "Can't you tell, the Crown Princess is really capable?"
He originally thought that Ying Cailan was a good-for-nothing concubine.
The kind that has been raised to waste!
I've never seen her before. The way she always lowers her head and hides behind Ying Caiyue is particularly ugly.
Therefore, he always looked down upon Ying Cailan.
Think about it, Yan Peiyu is so glorious, yet he married such a woman.
I feel more balanced!
But at this moment, when he saw Ying Cailan showing her hand, his happiness disappeared again.
Yan Yi's eyes flashed.
He withdrew his deep gaze that fell on Ying Cailan, lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
Xiang Chong opened his eyes, and the first person he saw was Ying Cailan, and he was immediately excited.
His usual calmness was gone, and he said excitedly: "The Crown Princess! The Crown Prince is trapped in Yongning Palace!"
