Chapter 1,433
"Your Majesty, they rumored that Zhe'er was killed by bandits. This is not true, is it?"
Princess Pingnan shouted in despair as soon as she saw Xiao Lintian.
An Xin came with her mother. Her eyes were swollen from crying and she looked at Xiao Lintian expectantly.
Xiao Lintian tried his best to control himself not to be affected by them, and comforted: "This is just hearsay, and it has not been finally verified!"
"Princess Pingnan, I have sent people to search. We will definitely find Anzhe!"
This undoubtedly verified the rumors. Princess Pingnan didn't believe who dared to spread such rumors. It was 80% true!
"Zhe'er!"
Princess Pingnan's face turned pale, her lips were trembling and she couldn't say a word. She rolled her eyes and fainted again.
When Ling Yu heard that Princess Pingnan was coming, she hurried over and saw this scene when she entered the door. She was so frightened that she rushed forward to save Princess Pingnan.
After some tossing, Princess Pingnan woke up.
Princess Pingnan stared at Xiao Lintian desperately, not daring to scold him, but her eyes revealed hatred.
Fortunately, King Pingnan got the news and rushed to the palace.
He was calmer than Princess Pingnan. When he saw Princess Pingnan's eyes filled with hatred, he stopped everyone's gaze and angrily scolded Princess Pingnan.
"How can you take hearsay seriously! I have never seen that boy's body, and I will never believe that he died like this!"
"Just hold on tight... think on the bright side. You are Zhe'er's mother, don't you want him to live?"
"Wow......"
Princess Pingnan felt aggrieved and sad after being punished. She burst into tears regardless of the fact that she was in the palace.
"Of course I hope Zhe'er is safe, but...but..."
She was so sad that she couldn't speak.
King Pingnan stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulders, and said comfortingly: "I know that you hope that Zhe'er will be safe and sound! The Emperor and we also hope that he will be safe and sound!"
"I know that you feel sorry for Zhe'er, but I and the Emperor feel no less distressed than you do!"
"So don't cry before the facts are clear. This is not grieving for him, it is cursing him!"
"If Zhe'er knew, he would definitely laugh at you!"
Princess Pingnan leaned on King Pingnan's arms and her tears subsided.
She knew that she shouldn't hate Xiao Lintian. She had watched several children grow up together. Although they were not biological brothers, they were brothers.
An Zhe is missing, and Xiao Lintian is indeed no less worried than himself.
Xiao Lintian felt uncomfortable seeing Princess Pingnan so sad. He comforted him: "Princess Pingnan, don't worry, no matter what the cost, I will definitely find Anzhe!"
King Pingnan turned around and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, An Zhe went to Zhengzhou as an imperial envoy. He disappeared. This imperial envoy also needs someone to do it!"
"I request the emperor to appoint me as the imperial envoy. I want to find out this matter myself!"
With that said, King Pingnan knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty! This is not okay!"
Princess Pingnan cried out in protest. The Zhengzhou bandits were so brutal and An Zhe had an accident. How could she rest assured that her husband would be in danger again?
King Pingnan glanced at her, worried that her objection would prevent the emperor from allowing it, so he said righteously: "Anzhe is my son, and I need to verify his life and death in person!"
"Madam, I believe Zhe'er is not dead. He must be waiting for me to find him somewhere!"
"Your Majesty, although I am using my public life as a personal matter, I promise that I will cooperate with General Luo and the others to suppress the unrest in Zhengzhou!"
Xiao Lintian was willing in his heart that King Pingnan would take command and go there in person. King Pingnan was also a military commander in the past, and he trusted King Pingnan's ability.
But Princess Pingnan didn't agree, and he couldn't force King Pingnan to take risks!
