Chu Wanxiang was leisurely basking in the sun, and was suddenly surprised to hear that there was a fire in the palace. She rushed to Fengyi Pavilion and saw that the entire dormitory was half burned down, with thick smoke billowing and a raging fire.

She was frightened and hurriedly asked Chunyu to pour water on the fire, but the firefighters couldn't put it out, so she had to give up in the end.

"Let's go back." Chu Wanxiang pulled Chu Mohan's sleeve and said.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Chu Mohan comforted her and squeezed her hand.

Chu Wanxiang nodded.

The two returned to the princess's mansion in a carriage, and as soon as they stepped into the mansion gate, they met Chu Mohan's second aunt.

Chu Mochen's mother-in-law, Chu Mochen's second aunt Chen.

When Chen saw the two of them, his eyes lit up, and he walked up quickly, with an anxious face: "Mo Han, Xiang'er, you are back!" Something happened to the emperor and the queen's mother, so go and take a look!"

Chu Mochen's father, Chu Chengxuan, the prime minister of the dynasty, was Chu Wanxiang's half-brother. Although Chu Wanxiang is a princess, she is not favored, so she has always been unfamiliar with these sisters-in-law.

Chen is not very old, beautiful in appearance, dignified and virtuous. She is a concubine, she was a Qinglou woman before marrying Chu Chengxuan, and later she was helped as a concubine, and she was carried out of the main room after giving birth to Chu Mohan, so she has always been cautious. She has a weak personality and handles the trivial matters of the back house quite decently, if it weren't for Chu Chengxuan's preference for Chu Wanqing, the queen of Chu would definitely not be Chu Wanqing's turn.

Chu Wanxiang glanced at her lightly: "Second aunt, what's wrong?"

Chen said with an anxious face, "The Empress Mother and the Fourth Highness are missing, I heard that ...... I heard that the queen mother disappeared in Fengyi Pavilion and was taken away by thieves."

Chu Wanxiang frowned: "How is this possible! The queen mother's martial arts are strong, who has the ability?"

"yes." Chen sighed, "I can't believe this matter, but this has spread throughout the capital, saying that I saw the queen mother in Fengyi Pavilion, and I also heard that in addition to the queen mother in the house at that time, there were three palace maids."

"The Queen Mother has been kidnapped?" Chu Wanxiang was shocked, "No wonder I just saw my father's face serious."

"Poor queen...... " Chen said sadly.

Chu Mohan's face turned pale, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "Second aunt, you go to rest first, and I will go to the palace with my sister."

"Hmm." Chen wiped away his tears and told them, "You must find the Queen Mother!"

After the Chen family left, Chu Wanxiang couldn't help but complain about Chu Mohan: "How can you let the second aunt enter the palace, how can we hide from our father and the emperor to quietly save the queen mother?"

"I'll figure it out myself." Chu Mohan said in a low voice, "You stay at home with your mother first, and I will send you back as soon as possible."

"Do you want to enter the palace alone?" Chu Wanxiang looked at him worriedly, "Are you in danger?"

Chu Mohan shook his head: "Don't worry, I have a way."

Chu Wanxiang gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "No! It's too dangerous for you to be alone."

Chu Mohan smiled, stretched out his hand to take Chu Wanxiang into his arms, and patted her on the back: "Don't make trouble, be good, wait for me to come back."

"I'm going with you!" Chu Wanxiang said unconvinced.

Chu Mohan gently pinched the tip of her nose, and said helplessly: "Obedient, whether you want to enter the palace or not, you have to stay here tonight, and I will rescue the queen mother safely."

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips, had no choice but to compromise, and advised, "Then you be careful, don't be reckless."

Chu Mohan smiled, turned around and rode away. Chu Wanxiang watched him go away, and a faint uneasiness rose in her heart.

After nightfall, Chu Wanxiang fidgeted and paced in the room, while instructing Chunyu: "Go and prepare the carriage!"

Chunyu panicked, "Girl, where are you going?"

"I'm not at ease, I have to go see it myself." After Chu Wanxiang finished speaking, she hurriedly changed her clothes, went out with Chunyu, and met Chu Mochen when she arrived at the door.

"Big brother?" Chu Wanxiang was surprised.

Chu Mochen frowned and stared at Chu Wanxiang for a while: "Where are you going to go in this dress?"

"I'm going to Fengyi Pavilion." Chu Wanxiang said.

Chu Mochen's eyes flashed slightly, and his tone was cold and hard: "Nonsense, the news of the queen mother's disappearance has not been confirmed, and you dare to go out rashly."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and said softly, "I want to see my father."

Chu Mochen sneered: "Father Emperor is busy tracking down the real murderer now, you must not add any more trouble!"

"I'm just going to take a look." Chu Wanxiang looked at Chu Mochen pleadingly, hoping that he would let go and promise to go and have a look. She really didn't worry about Chu Mohan entering the palace alone.

Chu Mochen pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

The two carriages stopped on the side of the street, Chu Wanxiang and Chunyu sat on one, Chu Mochen followed on horseback, and the three of them drove towards the palace together.

Chu Mochen didn't like to ride in a carriage, so the two of them took one, and Chu Wanxiang and Chunyu took another.

Arriving at the palace, Chu Mochen ordered someone to report it, and waited in front of the palace gate. Chu Wanxiang was nervous in the carriage, her heart was beating faster, and her fists were clenched.

After a while, the guards came out and said, "The emperor has announced your visit!"

Chu Mochen bowed: "Lead the way."

He entered the main hall, and Chu Tiankuo sat on the dragon chair with a solemn expression. Seeing Chu Mochen, Chu Tiankuo immediately summoned him into the palace and asked him, "I heard that the queen is missing, what do you think?"

"Back to my father, my sons didn't know about it. The retainers are willing to lead their troops to search for the whereabouts of the queen." Chu Mochen said respectfully.

"I don't need you to lead an army to search." Chu Tiankuo said in a deep voice, "What you have to do now is to guard the palace, protect Your Majesty, and don't make any claims!"

"Yes, Father." After Chu Mochen retreated, Chu Wanxiang opened the curtain and came out, worried: "Father, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with the eldest brother."

"I know." Chu Tiankuo nodded, his eyes showing pain, "I just don't understand why he wants to kill the queen."

Chu Wanxiang frowned: "The eldest brother doesn't look like a person who will murder the queen mother."

"I think so." Chu Tiankuo said, "But you have to remember that you are brothers and sisters, and you have to take care of each other."

"Erchen understands."

Chu Tiankuo closed his eyes tiredly: "You go down."

"Yes, Father." Chu Wanxiang bowed and left, and as soon as she left the hall, she bumped into Chu Muyun who was hurrying over.

Chu Wanxiang was taken aback: "Big brother."

"Second sister." Chu Duyun hurriedly grabbed her, "Why are you here? The emperor summoned you? You're not wronged, are you?"

Chu Wanxiang shook his head: "No. My father just called me here and asked me about the queen's mother."

"It's okay." Chu Duyun breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned again, "Why did you come to the palace? What if I encounter an Assassin?"

Chu Wanxiang smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I always feel that this matter has something to do with me, or rather, it has something to do with the child in my belly."

Chu Duyun was stunned, and then his face turned pale: "Isn't it ......?"
