The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

The queen slowly stood up from her chair and looked at Nanny An intently. Her voice seemed to be from a dream: "What did you say?"

Nanny An had no choice but to repeat what she had just said, and added: "Huai Qi also said that someone saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince falling off a cliff, and below the cliff was a surging river."

The Queen's eyes began to spin, and Nanny An immediately stepped forward to hold her up.

"Don't panic, madam. The Crown Prince is the heir apparent. God will surely protect him. You must stay calm and arrange for someone to go find His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is still waiting for you."

As she spoke, Nanny An also shed tears. With such a deep cliff and such a turbulent river, it would be a blessing if the prince's body could be found. How could she still hope that he would survive?

But she didn't dare tell the queen.

For the prince, her queen has already paid too much.

"What about the guards around him? Are they all good-for-nothings? If anything happens to the prince, thousands of their lives won't be enough to pay for it." The queen gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

She tightly grasped Nanny An's hand, pinching her with her fingertips until it hurt. "Quick, arrange for someone to look for the Crown Prince, and ask the Master to also ask someone to look for him..."

As if she had thought of something, the queen's eyes suddenly widened, she tightly grasped Nanny An's arm, and said in a cold voice: "Mammy, do you think the prince has been killed and will never come back?"

"Your Highness, please calm down. Huai Qi said that when the prince had the accident last night, it was already dark, and it is not certain whether he fell off the cliff. Your Highness the prince is a lucky person, and nothing will happen to him..."

"What if something really happened to him?" the queen interrupted her coldly.

Nanny An looked at her blankly, wondering why the Queen didn't even hold on to the last glimmer of hope. As a mother, the Queen shouldn't be like this.

"Don't make a fuss about the prince's disappearance, and don't let the emperor know for the time being." The queen said coldly: "Mammy, while you go looking for the prince, also arrange for someone to secretly look for Xie Lin. If the prince is dead, Xie Lin must be alive. Got it?"

Nanny An felt a chill all over her body. She seemed to understand what the Queen meant, but she didn't have time to be shocked. She just nodded in agreement hurriedly, then went out to call her confidants to do what the Queen ordered.

When she came back, the Queen was still standing in the same place waiting for her. Nanny An immediately stepped forward and the Queen pinched her arm again.

"Mammy, I still have something for you to do. If the prince is dead, then Xie Lin can't be the murderer. We have to make preparations for both scenarios."

"My queen, please don't be so desperate. I always feel that the prince is still alive. You are his mother, you have to wait for him."

The Queen said, "I will wait for him, but I have to make preparations for both situations. You listen to me and go now..."

She spoke next to Nanny An, lowering her voice so that only Nanny An could hear what she was saying.

"I will arrange it right away!"

Nanny An was busy for a long time. After she was done, she returned to Fengwu Palace to accompany the Queen and wait for news from the Prince.

At the same time, Dongfang Shuo was also waiting for dawn on the city wall, waiting for Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to come back after hearing the news about the two girls from the Chu family.

He wanted to personally kill the enemy who killed his mother.

The second wife of the Zhenbei Marquis stood in the cold wind in the middle of the night and begged bitterly: "This matter has nothing to do with my two girls. Your Highness Prince Cheng's behavior is equivalent to hurting innocent people. Please let my two girls go!"

Dongfang Shuo sneered: "My mother is also innocent, but Chu Heyi and Xie Lin teamed up to murder her. Who will let my mother go!"

He had never experienced a day without his mother. No matter where he was, he always remembered that there was a mother in the palace waiting for him to return home, caring about his safety, and planning for his future.

But now, his mother was gone, and for the first time, he experienced how cold the night was without his mother, and how difficult it was to breathe every time.

The Second Madam: "The Imperial Concubine was not killed by my family and Lord Xie. There must be a misunderstanding. Your Highness, please give Lord Wen some time to find out the truth..."

Dongfang Shuo was unmoved. There was so much evidence proving that it was Chu Heyi and Xie Lin who fought. Even Xie Lin's sister Xie Guiren admitted it.

What is there to doubt!

The hatred between him and Chu Heyi has been going on for a long time.

They must have done it!

In order to force them out, Dongfang Shuo pushed the two girls of the Chu family to the edge of the city wall. He was determined that if Chu Heyi and Xie Linruo did not show up at dawn, he would push the two girls off the city wall to be buried with his mother.

He was not at all moved by the second wife's pleading.

The second lady said, "Then you let me go up. They are still young and can't stand such threats. I am willing to replace them."

Dongfang Shuo said: "It is impossible to change, but if the Second Madam also wants to come here and experience the cold wind on the tower, I don't mind fulfilling her wish."

"You!" The second wife was choked. She had no choice but to go and comfort the two little girls of the Chu family.

Chu You said in a childish voice: "Second Mother, we are not afraid, don't worry, Big Sister will come to save us!"

Little Chu Xin was shivering all over: "Second Mother, we are not cold, not at all, really."

The second wife burst into tears. How could they not be afraid? Her eyes were filled with fear, but she could only face it bravely. Her body was shaking and shivering with cold, but she still comforted her.

The Second Madam suppressed her pity and held back her sobs, saying, "Just wait patiently. Your sister Heyi will be back soon and she will definitely save you."

It is chilly in spring and the night wind is biting.

The two children's faces were pale and their lips were bloodless due to the cold.

The whole city was on high alert, with guards patrolling everywhere, and every breath of wind seemed to reveal a tense atmosphere.

Everyone was waiting for Chu Heyi and Xie Lin to return, and then capture them in one fell swoop. If they resisted, they would be shot on the spot.

During the long wait, more and more people gathered under the city wall, from a few scattered people to a dozen people, then to dozens of people, and then to hundreds and thousands of people.

When the area was surrounded by people, people found that it was daybreak.

"The Imperial Concubine went to the Wanfu Temple to pray for us, but was murdered by the Princess of Cheng'an County and Lord Xie. Now she is on the run, but the two girls from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion were held hostage by His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. They were left on the city wall in fear and cold all night."

"If I were His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, I would also avenge my mother! It's just a pity for the two little girls in the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to suffer for the Princess of Cheng'an County and Lord Xie!"

"Don't they feel guilty about these two murderers? Why haven't they come back yet? Don't they care about the lives of the two girls in the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion?"

The people were outraged at Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

"They dare to kill people but are afraid to bear the consequences. They are truly cowards!"

As they were talking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the city gate. The crowd looked outside and started to get agitated.

Someone shouted, "Master Xie and the Princess of Cheng'an are here!!"
