Yun Chang was startled: "Appeared quietly in front of the dark guard?"
Naturally, she also knew how capable the dark guard was. The person who sent the letter must have been difficult if it could appear in front of the dark guard without a sound.
Yun Shang quickly opened the letter, read it carefully, and her voice trembled a little: "Didn't your majesty say that Chengye was replaced after the palace banquet, so he must still be in the palace, as long as you keep it safe With the four palace gates in southeast, north and south, is it very difficult to take a child out of the palace?"
"Why does it say in the letter that Chengye is in their hands?"
Luo Qingyan's expression was also very bad: "There are three possibilities. The first one is that our calculations were wrong before. Chengye had an accident on the way back to the East Palace after leaving the Tai Chi Hall. At that time, the palace banquet had not yet ended. After Chengye was replaced, he was taken to the Golden Palace to wait for the banquet to be over, and then he was taken out of the palace."
"The second type is that the martial arts of the person who kidnapped Chengye is very strong, so strong that even if the palace is so heavily guarded, it can't stop him at all. You can let him bring a child back and forth in the palace wantonly."
"The third possibility is that the real Chengye is still in the palace, and they are just defrauding us."
Yun Shang squeezed the letter tightly: "We are still not sure what's going on, but we can't risk Chengye's life."
"Yes." Luo Qingyan nodded, and repeated in a murmur, "You can't risk Chengye's life."
Neither of them spoke, Yun Chang's mind was in a turmoil, she just lowered her head in silence, slowly flattened the wrinkled letter paper, and put it back into the envelope.
"However, this letter only tells us that Chengye is in his hands, but it doesn't say what exactly he wants and what is the purpose of taking Chengye away."
"Just tell us, feel free to spread the word, feel free to search, if he is not happy, he will kill Chengye."
"What exactly does he want to do?"
Luo shook his head softly: "He may be afraid that we still don't know that Chengye has been replaced, which will make him unable to move forward, so he sent this letter on purpose."
Yun Chang frowned: "But, just relying on this letter, why is he so sure that we will believe what he said?"
"Even if you don't believe it, you will probably have doubts, right?"
Hearing what Luo Qingyan said, Yun Shang was silent for a moment, then took out the letter again, and then carefully looked into the envelope.
Ben just took a look subconsciously, but actually found something.
Yun Shang quickly unfolded the envelope, and saw something stuck to the paper of the envelope.
"This is..." Yun Shang pursed her lips, "It's the fabric of the dress Cheng Ye wore yesterday."
The two fell silent again, Yun Chang bit her lip, and her heart became more and more flustered.
She always thought that she was a calm and self-retaining person, but now she found that when encountering such a thing, she couldn't even be calm.
My mind was like a mess, I couldn't think of anything.
Luo Qingyan reached out and took Yun Shang's hand: "Don't worry, since he has already handed in this letter, he must have his own purpose, let's just wait, he will definitely give us news again. "
Yun Chang nodded and stood up: "Then I'm going back to Weiyang Palace."
"What are you going back to Weiyang Palace for?" Luo Qingyan took Yunshang's hand: "Whenever there is news, I will be the first to report to me. You are here, and you can know any news as soon as possible. .”
"But that fake Chengye..."
Luo shook his head lightly: "Since the other party has already told us plainly that Chengye has been replaced, why do we continue to play?"
"Although we can't publicize it, we don't have to bother to pretend, we just follow our heart."
Chengye had just disappeared, Luo Qingyan was even more afraid that Yunshang would go back and see that fake Chengye, and couldn't help feeling hurt, so she thought that she should stay no matter what.
Yun Chang pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly, sat down on the chair, only reached out to take off the piece of fabric from the envelope, and put it on the table.
"What does a piece of cloth mean? It doesn't necessarily mean that Chengye has already been taken out of the palace. It is not easy to take a child out of the palace, but it is an easy thing to take a piece of cloth out of the palace."
Yun Chang nodded, but her eyes were still fixed on the piece of fabric, and she didn't make a sound for a long time.
After a while, Liu Wen'an hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress, all the entry and exit records of the four palace gates in the southeast, northwest, and the whole day yesterday have been checked and sorted out. The two-year-old who was brought into the palace yesterday Four-year-old children, a total of seven."
"The hidden guards went to investigate one by one. The children who were brought out of the palace last night were all taken out of the palace. The guards at the city gate checked them one by one. All they saw were people, and none of the children fell asleep and hugged them. With the situation of going out of the palace, and those children are staying in the mansion well today."
"The old slave felt that it would not be too difficult to create a false impression for us if we wanted to replace those children with a child. Maybe the children who were brought into the palace at that time were not the children of those adults, so the secret guard Continue to stare at those mansions, and report immediately if there is any abnormality."
Luo Qingyan and Yunshang nodded at the same time, but did not speak.
"The list of servants and maids in the palace has also been verified. There are no young palace people between the ages of two and four in our palace."
Yun Shang nodded: "There is one more person in the palace and one less person, especially for such a small child, it is not easy to hide."
"Not necessarily." Luo Qingyan pursed his lips: "The children who accompany Chengye to practice are all children of this size."
Yun Chang frowned: "Your Majesty is suspicious?"
"It's always good to be cautious. Right now, Chengye says he's sick and won't practice together. It's just a good time for the dark guards to investigate."
Yun Chang nodded in response.
Luo Qingyan saw that Yunshang's face was full of exhaustion, so he said, "You are tired too, go and have a rest first."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and ordered Liu Wen'an: "Go to Weiyang Palace and say something, just say that in order for His Royal Highness to recuperate in Weiyang Palace with peace of mind, the empress first rests in Taiji Hall for two days, and let Weiyang Palace give the empress the rest of the weekdays. Bring over the things you are used to in the house.”
Liu Wen'an responded and retreated.
After a while, Qian Zhuo came in with something. Seeing Yun Shang sitting at the table looking at a piece of fabric, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Isn't this the fabric on His Royal Highness's clothes? Why is it here?"
