Chapter 303: Learning of Falling off a Cliff
Guard Liu replied respectfully,
"Yes, Queen, Concubine Fang's carriage has fallen into a deep pool at the bottom of the valley.
The chief guard urgently ordered his men to go into the water to salvage the body. Unfortunately, when the carriage was salvaged ashore, Fang Liangdi was nowhere to be found in the water or in the carriage. Fang Liangdi's whereabouts were unknown."
After saying this, he lowered his head sadly.
"What? Are you saying Fang Liangdi is missing?"
Queen Qin's voice trembled.
"Ah? How could this happen? Is the Crown Princess safe?"
After being shocked, Aunt Liu also asked in surprise.
Guard Liu replied,
"The Crown Princess is fine. The only thing that happened was Fang Liang Di's carriage."
*
Suddenly I heard something unexpected,
Queen Qin was a little confused for a moment, and did not ask Guard Liu if he had anything else to say.
She quickly glanced outside at the children who were still laughing and playing snowballs in the inner hall corridor, and lowered her voice a lot, and hurriedly ordered,
"Lu Zi, go to the Imperial Study and report to the Emperor immediately. Ask him to send someone to look for her. I don't believe that someone would go missing.
Maybe he got caught on a tree branch or halfway up the mountain when he fell to the bottom of the valley and was lucky enough to escape? Hurry... hurry. I will be there soon."
"Yes. I obey your command."
Eunuch Lu, who was also stunned, hurriedly accepted the order, responded, and ran away.
*
As Eunuch Lu left, Queen Qin felt more and more uneasy.
"Miaoyin, Qiaoyin, the two of you, help me to the imperial study."
"Yes! Your Majesty the Queen."
The two senior palace maids, Miaoyin and Qiaoyin, hurriedly stepped forward to help Queen Qin get down from the throne.
Guard Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, was a little dumbfounded. Didn’t he have anything else to report?
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
As soon as Guard Liu finished speaking,
Then they heard a "thump" sound at the door of the inner hall, and everyone looked over.
It turned out that it was Nanny Jiang, who was standing at the door and overheard, who couldn't bear the blow and sat down on the ground.
She was like a fool, mumbling to herself, words no one could hear.
"It must be a mistake. Fang Liangdi went out fine this morning.
He also told me to take good care of the two children and said he would be back soon. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. If it’s wrong, it must be wrong…”
The babies were busy playing snowball fights, making "cluck, cluck, chirp, chirp..." and didn't hear what Guard Liu said in the inner hall.
When they heard Nanny Jiang scream "Ouch" and fall to the ground, the two frightened people stopped playing and ran over shouting in panic.
"Madam Jiang? Oh my, why did you fall? Let us help you up!"
Nanny Jiang saw the two little darlings running over to pull her, and then looked at Guard Liu who had a sad expression in the inner hall.
The last string in her heart couldn't hold on and suddenly broke.
Nanny Jiang reached out and hugged the two children, sobbing and crying.
"Oh my, oh my! Mammy's two little masters! Mammy's poor two little masters!"
*
Queen Qin was shocked by Nanny Jiang's sudden loss of composure. Before she could reprimand her, she heard her granddaughter's loud cry.
"Grandma, Grandma, Madam Jiang fell down and is crying. Can you quickly get someone to help her up?"
Queen Qin paused, feeling sad. She thought of the Crown Prince and Fang Qingge.
After sighing, she slowly walked in front of the two children and said with a forced smile,
"Come, come to the Empress Dowager. Miaoyin, help Nanny Jiang up."
My younger sister Xiao Huajiao said happily,
"Grandmother is the best! Nanny Jiang is too heavy, my brother and I can't lift her up."
"You are still young, you will be more powerful when you grow up."
Queen Qin's eyes were slightly red. She touched her two little grandchildren who came over obediently, feeling sad in her heart.
*
The head palace maid Miaoyin quickly stepped forward to help Nanny Jiang up from the ground and whispered,
"Madam Jiang, are you okay? Stop crying quickly. The Queen doesn't want the two young masters to notice."
When Nanny Jiang heard this, she realized that she had lost her manners, and quickly wiped away her tears. She explained to the two babies who were still looking at her anxiously,
"Look, Nanny Jiang is old, and she just fell down out of nowhere. You two should not learn from Nanny Jiang's stupid behavior."
"Madame Jiang is not old. Neither Madame Jiang nor the Empress Dowager is old.
My mother said that when people get old, they become old children. I don’t want you to become old children.”
My younger sister Xiao Huajiao pouted and chattered. If it were in the past, she would have made everyone laugh.
But today, everyone feels sad and unhappy.
*
Queen Qin's eyes were blurred with tears. She quickly turned her back and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, coaxing the two of them,
"Good boy, it's getting late, the Imperial Grandmother has something else to do.
Go back with Madam Jiang! Come visit the Imperial Grandmother some other day."
Perhaps the sudden sad atmosphere in Kunning Palace made the two children feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Bajiao, the brother who had been silent, raised his eyes to look at the expressions of the crowd and seemed to hear something about "Prince" and "Fang Liangdi".
He didn't ask, thinking of going back and asking the elf secretly.
So my sister and I nodded and said,
"Okay, goodbye, Grandmother."
After saying that, he reached out, took Nanny Jiang's hands and walked out.
*
The space elf, who had been hiding and protecting the babies, finally woke up from his shock.
When it heard that its owner's horse was frightened and fell off the cliff, it immediately thought that this was a big conspiracy.
What is going to Lingguang Temple to pray for the prince? The purpose is a conspiracy and scam carefully designed against the owner! It is self-evident who is the instigator!
The elf was almost mad with anger. Although he knew that his master would not die in vain, when he thought of the viciousness of these people, the anger in his heart burned fiercely.
I wish I could catch that vicious person and kill him.
*
The elf thought that although the master would not be hurt, he would definitely be scared!
Its anger burned again.
Because there is no communication channel to convey messages to the owner, I am still worried about him.
I wish I could grow wings and fly to the scene to check on my owner.
Just when I was burning with anger, I heard the babies' sweet voices.
"Madam Jiang, when will mother come home? The babies miss her!"
"Madam Jiang, did the Royal Grandmother mention mother just now?"
Nanny Jiang said perfunctorily,
"It was the Queen who saw how cute you two were and praised Fang Liang Di!"
"Oh! How long will it take for Mom to come back? And Dad, I haven't seen him for a long time!"
Little Pepper pouted her little mouth and missed the prince a little.
The words from you and me, my dears, woke the elf up all of a sudden.
It also reminded it of the task that its master had repeatedly told it before leaving.
The elf slowly calmed down.
