poor family prodigal

When the head of the Bai family left the palace, Bai Yanfei was very angry.

Her heart was full of sadness and pain, mixed with boundless anger!

At this moment, Bai Ling immediately stepped forward, supported Bai Yanfei, and then whispered with concern: "Queen, please don't be sad first."

"Now that we have made the matter clear, let's use soldiers to block it and water to cover it up."

"Should we consider Concubine Xian's affairs now?"

Bai Ling's suggestion made the Queen take a deep breath.

She tried her best to suppress the panic and anxiety in her heart, then looked at Bai Ling seriously and said, "You are right, now is not the time to feel sad!"

"Please come, Prime Minister Left and Right!"

"Yes, empress!"

Bai Ling nodded slightly, turned around quickly, and left here.

After a while, Bai Ling came in with the two prime ministers.

The two prime ministers immediately stepped forward quickly, saluted, and then said respectfully to the Queen: "Old minister, see the Queen!"

"Exemption."

The Queen looked very serious, and then immediately ordered the two of them to sit down, and then discussed the matter with the two of them with a very serious face.

"Queen, I don't know why you called us here today."

As soon as the two ministers sat down, they started asking questions with very surprised and puzzled expressions.

At this moment, the Queen's expression looked very serious.

She frowned, looking anxious. After hesitation, she still said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian and Yong'er are missing."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two ministers suddenly changed.

They looked at each other in astonishment, staring at the Queen, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"The reason why I called you two here this time is actually to ask you two to help me come up with ideas on how to solve this matter..."

Hearing this, the faces of the two ministers were very solemn.

The Prime Minister Zuo looked at the Empress with serious eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Empress, tell me the truth, did you secretly do something about this matter?"

His Majesty just passed away and asked the Queen to treat the concubines and princes well. Now, not long after, Concubine Xian and Yong'er disappeared.

It's hard not to think about the Queen.

The Empress shook her head and said seriously: "Two Prime Ministers, this matter indeed has nothing to do with me."

"Since I have promised His Majesty, of course I will fulfill his last wish and will never do such a despicable thing."

The Queen's words made Prime Minister Zuo look solemn.

After he pondered for a moment, he then said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that the Sheng family is ready to take action?"

"It's very possible!"

The right minister's expression also looked particularly vigilant. After pondering for a moment, he then slowly said, "If the Queen doesn't respond quickly, once the matter escalates, it will easily lead to a fire!"

"Two Prime Ministers, what should I do now?"

The queen's face also looked a little anxious. She looked at the two prime ministers hesitantly and asked hesitantly: "Is there any good solution now?"

"I think what the Queen should do most now is to tell the world about this matter."

The left prime minister said seriously: "I must first exclude you, the Queen, to prove that this matter has nothing to do with you!"

"Otherwise, once the Sheng family bites, the consequences will be disastrous."

"That's right!"

The right prime minister also had a solemn expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "In this case, even if something happens to Concubine Xian and Yong'er, the Empress cannot be blamed!"

"The two prime ministers are right."

The queen nodded slightly and said softly: "Just do what you two said!"

Early the next morning, in the court hall.

Following the advice given to her by her left and right ministers, the Empress immediately revealed the news of the disappearance of Concubine Xian and Yong'er.

After hearing the news, the courtiers were all shocked and unbelievable!

There was a lot of discussion below.

"Queen, Your Majesty once said that you should treat your concubines and princes well and take good care of them without making any mistakes. How could a concubine and a prince disappear just like they said they were missing in such a huge palace? "

A courtier of the Sheng family spoke in an aggressive tone, and his attitude was obviously questioning.

Several courtiers couldn't help but agree: "The current situation in the court is complicated, and many forces are eyeing it. If something goes wrong again in the harem, it will definitely lead to constant troubles!"

"The disappearance of the imperial concubine is not a trivial matter. We must send more manpower to find her as soon as possible and get to the bottom of this matter!"

Facing the discussions and questions from the courtiers, the Queen's face remained very serious.

She said calmly: "I understand the meaning of the courtiers' words. Maybe in your hearts, you are suspecting that I am the one who did this, right?"

When the courtiers heard this, they immediately looked at me and I looked at you without saying another word.

The Empress nodded slightly and said solemnly: "I have been in charge of the harem for many years. I am kind to everyone, let alone my concubines. I have never treated my servants harshly!"

"How can you put suspicion on me? After all, my child is already the prince. It will be beneficial for me to attack Concubine Xian and Yong'er!"

The Queen spoke in a very solemn tone. She glanced at the people around her, and then said in a deep voice: "I hope you can think about this matter rationally."

"Moreover, if it was really me who did this, then why didn't I just pick up the knife and kill the mother and son directly?"

The Queen's words were very serious. After hearing this, the faces of the ministers suddenly became extremely solemn.

Their expressions were full of doubts and considerations, and they hesitated and asked: "But Queen, where can they go in this huge palace?"

"I don't know either, but from what you said, minister, are you blaming me?"

The Queen's words were filled with gloom and questioning.

The minister was so frightened that he trembled all over and said tremblingly: "I don't dare..."

The Queen snorted coldly, and then scolded in an unhappy tone: "Concubine Xian and Yong'er's legs grow on their own bodies."

"As a queen, I manage the harem and manage state affairs. Of course I can't keep my eyes on them all the time."

"Send the order and issue an announcement to find Concubine Xian and Yong'er as soon as possible. Those who find them will be heavily rewarded."
