Qing Han was stunned.

‘Mother, you"ve changed!

‘You"re no longer the person I used to know!"

“Qing"er, it"s getting late, let"s go.”

Nan Xian calmly turned around. His white robe was as cold as the moon, and a ray of light fell upon his handsome face.

Wu Shang City.

The entire Wu Shang City was in chaos since the little prince was taken away by a leopard.

The empress was heartbroken and had fallen ill; even the emperor had aged a lot in a short time. He no longer went to the court, accompanying the empress all day, causing all the concubines to feel jealous of her.

Qi Fang rubbed his forehead to relieve the headache that was coming on. He looked at the guards kneeling in front of him and asked sternly, “Is there still no whereabouts of Yu"er?”

The guards knelt in a row, trembling.

“Your Majesty, we still haven"t found the little prince, and even Master Qing has not returned.”

Qi Fang"s eyes turned cold. “Where is the woman who harmed the little prince?”

“My subordinates have already sent people to wait at the foot of the mountain, as soon as she descends from the mountain, she will certainly be dealt with on the spot.”

“Good…” Qi Fang"s gaze looked serious. “I won"t let go of anyone who has harmed my son. Lian Yi and Lian Qing are also at fault. When the general returns, tell him to punish them.”

In the entire Wu Shang City, only General Tian Ya had the emperor"s respect. The emperor would not even touch the general"s people, simply leaving them to Tian Ya to settle.

“Ahem!”

The empress had woken up. She opened her eyes and coughed gently, trying to get up from the bed.

Qi Fang hurriedly helped the empress up. “Empress, your body is still weak. You have to rest more.”

“Your Majesty…” The empress gripped Qi Fang"s hand tightly. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with grief. “Where is Yu"er… Is there still no news of Yu"er?”

Qi Fang lowered his eyes and did not answer the empress"s questions.

Seeing the expression on his face, the empress knew the answer.

“Your Majesty… You still can"t find Yu"er…”

The empress gradually loosened her hand, looking grief-stricken, as if she would not be able to hold on any longer at any moment.

“Empress, don"t worry. I have already sent people to continue the search…” Qi Fang hurriedly held the empress"s hand. “Yu"er is my son, how could I not be anxious, too? But it"s useless to be anxious now. We must calm down a bit before we can deal with the rest of the matter.”

The empress sneered as she suddenly raised her hand and pushed Qi Fang away.

“Your Majesty has more than one son. Of course, you wouldn"t be as anxious as me. But I only have a son and a daughter, and they are my life. Your Majesty doesn"t think about avenging Yu"er in the slightest! So, I will personally avenge him!”

Qi Fang frowned lightly. “Empress!”

“I won"t let anyone, which hurts Yu"er, go, ever!”

A touch of anger flashed in the empress"s eyes and made her look fierce.

Qi Fang knew that she had become like this because she was thinking of her son. He did not allow himself to be upset by her as he just sighed.

“Empress, I have been accompanying you these past few days and have not even bothered with kingdom affairs, but now there is no way I can keep ignoring it. I need to go to the court today, and I will come back to visit you later.” Qi Fang smiled bitterly. “And… I will not let go of the person who harmed Yu"er, even if… Yu"er is really gone, I will still get his bones back.”
