Su Zixu straightened his body, made him look at him, and said in a solemn tone: "Yao'er, you didn't make the mother concubine angry, it's just that the mother concubine has to do a very difficult thing now, and it will take a long, long time to complete, and when everything is done, I can take you out of here." Do you understand?"

The third prince shook his head in confusion.

"Yao'er doesn't want to leave her mother, doesn't your mother want Yao'er?" As soon as the third prince finished speaking, tears fell like rain in an instant, and he hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

Su Zixu comforted softly, but he kept shaking his head, crying loudly, and speaking incoherently.

Her heart ached.

No matter how sensible Yao'er is, he is just a three-year-old child, and he has never been by his side when he was a child, and he longs for family affection from the bottom of his bones, but now he finally enjoys a little maternal love, and he is forced to separate, and he is inevitably afraid and afraid.

She sighed secretly and remained silent.

This time, she won't lose, so she can only grieve Yao'er for the time being.

Outside the house, there was a sudden sound of broken footsteps that were not big or small, deliberately suppressed, Su Zixu's eyes moved, and he looked down at the third prince who was sobbing loudly, his eyes were deep.

In just a few moments, there was a loud bang, and the door was kicked open vigorously, and a group of black-pressed guards all rushed in, with bright swords in their hands.

They cautiously walked into the house, and when they saw the palace people sleeping on the ground, their faces changed instantly, and they showed vigilance, turning the whole room upside down.

"Commander Li, I didn't find anything. One of the guards replied.

Everyone else shook their heads, and found nothing.

Commander Li personally rummaged through the room, did not notice any clues, just opened the bead curtain from the inside and walked out, saw an oncoming figure, hurriedly greeted him, and arched his hand: "Yao Lao, the brothers have not found anything." ”

Yao Lao's eyes darkened, and he glanced sideways at the grandmother who was sitting on the chair and fell asleep, and then looked at the third prince who was energetic and had obviously cried, and walked up with a solemn face: "Third prince, has Concubine Fang been here?"

The third prince shrank back, sobbed a few times, and looked at him in fear.

Yao Lao commanded coldly: "Go outside and search." ”

Those guards ran out like a fly, the silent courtyard was instantly brightly lit and noisy, and the palace people in the house were woken up intermittently, and when they saw Yao Lao, their faces changed, and they hurriedly saluted and retreated to the side.

"Did anyone just come?"

The grandmother was startled, and she hesitated for a while before she resigned: "The slave has been watching the third prince in the house, and no one has ever come in." ”

Yao Lao turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, as soon as she came into contact with his eyes, she quickly lowered her head, her face turned pale, her eyes dodged, and her legs trembled.

Yao Lao glanced at her a few times, looked away, and ordered: "If there is a next ......"

The look of insight into everything made the grandmother tremble, and she hurriedly said: "There will be no next time, the slave will definitely take good care of the third prince, and not a single fly will fly in." ”

Although the medicine elder in front of him is just a doctor in the rivers and lakes, he is now a celebrity next to the queen, and his order is the order of the queen, and no one can disobey it.

The intimidation in him always gives people a sense of oppression, and they can't breathe.

Yao Lao waved his hand, and the grandmother retreated to the side, secretly wiping a handful of sweat, her legs were still trembling, and she couldn't stop.

Yao Lao leaned over and asked again, "Third Prince, did Concubine Yue Niangniang come just now?"

His tone was not questioning, but affirming.

The third prince kept his eyes down, and when he heard this, he suddenly grabbed his hand, and said while crying: "I want to see my mother, where has my mother gone? Why can't I see her? Can you take me to find my mother?"

He cried like an abandoned child, his eyes blurred with tears, and he couldn't stop it, and he was overwhelmed with grief.

Yao Lao frowned, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Why didn't Mama take me to find my mother, I miss my mother?" The third prince cried even more fiercely, stretched out his hand and beat his legs, and made a fuss.

Yao Lao's brows became more and more furrowed, and he suddenly felt something strange, looking out the window, there was nothing on the roof.

He took the third prince's hand away from himself and strode out.

Not long after he walked out, Su Zixu showed a pair of eyes from the opposite roof, glanced at the third prince, and turned to leave.

Yao Lao walked along the path in the courtyard to the end, and Dugushuang walked out of another path and replied: "Master, the apprentice has led people to search, and there is no abnormality. ”

Yao Lao didn't answer, raised his eyes, and muttered, "Could it be that she didn't come over today." ”

Kunning Palace is heavily armed, and he has placed a lot of his own people in it, even if Concubine Yue is powerful, there should be movement if she breaks in secretly, isn't it that they are really too careful?

He said, "Go back." ”

The people in the courtyard gradually dispersed, and Yao Lao also walked to the main hall, where Empress Liu was sitting and waiting for him.

She said, "Isn't there anything to be gained?"

"Hui Niangniang, no. ”

Queen Liu raised her eyebrows, slowly lowered it again, and sneered: "Continue to send people to wait for the rabbit, if you come, you must not let it go." Although the guards in the palace are strong in martial arts, their agility is not as good as that of the disciples of the Medicine King Valley. ”

Yao Lao agreed.

The two of them talked for a while, and Queen Liu suddenly put on her face and said solemnly: "This palace has always had a doubt in my heart, I wonder if Yao Lao can know the answer?"

"Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

The corners of Empress Liu's mouth curled slightly, and she said word by word: "What kind of thing would make an unrelated person willingly surrender to another person and work for her?"

She stared at him intently, a look of doubt on her face.

Yao Lao's eyes moved, and he said without thinking: "There is only one reason, that person is the mother of the dynasty that he believes in his heart." ”

Empress Liu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Very well. She said word by word.

As soon as Yao Lao withdrew, Xing'er was puzzled: "Niangniang, do you suspect Yao Lao?"

She smiled gloomily: "Bengong, no one believes it." ”

In this palace, the only one who can believe is herself.

Xing'er's face changed, slightly crimson, and she was quite aggrieved.

Mother, don't even trust her?

……

"Niangniang, this is the porridge that the old slave has just made, and it's still hot, so drink it quickly. Lian Mama smiled lightly.

Su Zixu just took it and scooped a spoonful of porridge, the familiar nausea spread from his stomach to his mouth, and he quickly spit out a few times.

She covered her nose and said, "Mama, take the porridge down, this palace doesn't want to drink it." ”

Her stomach rang a few times, and she reached out and touched her shriveled belly, her brow furrowed. Today she had no appetite and did not eat dinner, so she suddenly woke up from her sleep, so hungry that she had to wake up Mama Lian to make a bowl of porridge for herself. The stomach is clearly empty, and I want to eat, but when the things are brought in front of me, I have completely lost my appetite.

Why is that?
