Reborn from the Ashes: Miss Fifth Devil

"This place is very close to the capital. Perhaps, the royal family must have some secrets. Unfortunately, some royal secrets can only be known to the emperor who ascends the throne." Dongfang Xu said calmly.

"..." Yun Jingxi suddenly nodded, a little dumbly.

What Dongfang Xu guessed was actually what Yun Jingchu also guessed. In every dynasty and every generation, in order to save the emperor's life in emergencies, there were many secret passages, underground palaces or secret teams of dead soldiers.

A centipede is dead but not stiff, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is not that simple to deal with an emperor.

After searching for another day and night, still nothing was found. Finally, Yun Jingchu made a decisive decision and asked people to surround the entire mountain to wait for work. At the same time, he sent a message to Commander Qi and others in the capital to pay attention to the capital to see if anyone from Dongfang Chen had sneaked in.

.

However, the day after their letter was sent, they received a reply from Commander Qi: the queen and concubine De in the palace were missing. Judging from the time, this letter should have been sent before receiving their letter.

In the letter, Commander Qi's self-blame was very obvious and he asked Dongfang Xu to punish him.

Both Dongfang Xu and Yun Jingxi could understand Commander Qi's annoyance. Originally, Commander Qi chose to side with Yun Jingxi and Dongfang Xu because of Yun Jingshu. Of course, the ultimate goal was to protect the unconscious Yun Jingshu in the palace.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Yun Jingshu was not protected and she disappeared instead.

"Who took away the Queen?" Dongfang Xu frowned, worry evident on his face.

He is one of the few people who clearly knows that Yun Jingshu in her army is Yun Jingchu pretending to be, but he does not know that the queen in the palace is not the real Yun Jingshu, so he is so worried. After all,

The fact that he can get so much help is all thanks to Tuoyun Jingshu.

Either he is from Dongfang Chen or An Ye. However, even De Fei disappeared together. It is very likely that they are from Dongfang Chen, but there is also a possibility that they were taken away by different people. Yun Jingchu and Yun Jing

Xi secretly guessed. However, they could not reveal what happened in the dark night, so they chose to remain silent.

"Your Highness, I think it was the emperor who took away the two concubines. He took away the queen because he wanted to regain the support of the queen's supporters. He took away De Fei because De Concubine was his favorite concubine. So

, that makes sense." A counselor stood up and analyzed with a serious look.

"Oops!" Dongfang Xu was horrified, slapped his thigh in panic, stood up, and said in a voiceless voice, "Brother Huang may be unfavorable to his sister-in-law."

Yun Jingxi glanced at the silent Yun Jingchu, and then said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the gentleman just analyzed it, the emperor most likely took away the empress in order to win over the forces that support the empress, so now,

It will not be detrimental to the Queen."

"...Is this really the case?" Dongfang Xu was still a little worried and looked at Yun Jingxi hesitantly, more like asking Yun Jingxi to reassure him than asking for an answer.

"Well, I think so." Yun Jingxi nodded solemnly.

In the following time, Dongfang Xu asked people to search for Dongfang Chen and at the same time asked people to pay attention to the Queen's whereabouts.

However, more than half a month has passed and nothing has been found.

Dongfang Xu was not sluggish either. While sending several pairs of soldiers to search for the surrounding area, he personally led all the generals to camp at the foot of the mountain and search the mountain every day for possible hiding places.
