A Female King’s Love Story - Chapter 70

Qiao Qiao returned to the palace. Seeing that there was no news from Xiyue, he ordered Qingwu to search for him, to see if everything was successful.

In a flash, Qingwu came running in from outside the hall with a grave expression on her face. She hurriedly knelt in front of Qiao still, “Your Majesty!”

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Qiao was still reviewing the memorial in her hand. Seeing Qingwu’s anxious expression, she put down the memorial in her hand and asked.

Qingwu had always been a steady and steady person. If not for some big problem, she wouldn’t have been so flustered.

“Your Imperial Majesty, forgive this servant for her incompetence; I did not protect Xiyue well.” Qingwu lowered her head in remorse as she spoke.

“What?” What’s wrong with Xiyue? ” When he heard that something had happened to Xiyue, Qiao Qiao still ignored the memorial in front of the table and asked with an anxious expression.

“Xiyue … disappeared!” “This servant has been ordered by the emperor to go find Xiyue, and coincidentally met her at the entrance of the palace. Xiyue and this servant originally wanted to immediately return to the palace to report back, but suddenly a small palace maid arrived and said something to Xiyue, whose face was deathly pale, so this servant asked her to temporarily wait in the hall by herself, saying that she would return immediately, but this servant has been waiting at the entrance for a long time without seeing any trace of Xiyue, so this servant sent someone to look for the small palace maid that she just met. However, no one has seen Xiyue.

Qiao Qiao’s fist was still clenched tightly. His face was deathly pale. If someone wanted to capture Xiyue, it must be because of her.

“Have you searched within the palace?” asked Joe, still biting his lip.

“This servant has just notified Lord Meng Shi to send someone to search.” “Your Imperial Majesty, before Xiyue departed, she asked this servant to give this to your Imperial Majesty.” As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it over to Qiao Yifeng.

It was actually the jade pendant that she had taken from the study room in the Luo Mansion that day. However, she clearly remembered that she had already given this jade pendant to Xian Yue as a gift, so how could it be in Xiyue’s hands?

“Send our orders to seal off the imperial palace and to have all of the Embroidered Uniform Guards search the imperial palace. We must find Xiyue safely!” Qiao Qiao tightly clenched the jade pendant in his hand and fiercely bit his lips. She definitely couldn’t let anything happen to Xiyue!

“Yes sir!” With a serious expression, Qingwu cupped her hands in greeting, then turned around and walked out of the palace.

She sent Xiyue to the Regent’s Estate to test Yan Mo Chen’s trump card. However, Xiyue handed the jade pendant over to her, wanting to report something to her.

In her heart, she had already treated Xiyue as a sister. However, she never would have thought that her kindness, her ability to raise a tiger, would actually harm Xiyue.

Long before Ning Xin died, her words’ be careful ‘made Ning Xuemo suspect that there must be a spy in this palace! In the beginning, she had suspected Luo Qinglun, but in the few incidents that had occurred, Luo Qinglun had always had evidence that he was not present. Furthermore, she had sent people to investigate Luo Qinglun, and found out that apart from having an affair with a young palace maid in the rear palace, there was no other movement from him.

It seemed like there was someone buried deeply beside Qiao Qiao. They were so deep that they could grasp all her movements and even easily grab onto her weak points! Qiao Qiao’s eyes were still narrowed. Could it be that everything was really as Xi Yue said, and that Yan Mo Chen had done it?

“Zi Ran!” This time, the technique of incantation of death placed Zi Ran in the palace and secretly protected Qiao Qiao’s safety. However, this could still be of great help to Qiao.

“Your subordinate is here!” Zi Ran descended from the rafters. She was ordered not to get too close to Qiao yet. As a result, she was completely unaware of the conversation between Qiao and Qingwu just now.

“I order you to secretly go with Qingwu and find the palace maid who stopped Xiyue at the palace gates.” Qiao Qiao’s eyes still narrowed. It seemed that the small palace maid that came to look for Xiyue was the key to this matter.

“Yes, your subordinate understands!” Since the Emperor ordered her to protect the Emperor, she would definitely do as the Emperor ordered.

Qiao Qiao was still in a daze inside the palace. She felt a bit uneasy. There seemed to be something she had missed out on that had to be the crux of the matter.
