The empress dowager of a country disappeared just like that in the heavily guarded harem. She did not even alarm anyone. What if the target of the villains was him, the emperor?

There was still a war at the border. If this matter was spread, people might panic.

No matter how anxious Shangguan Han was, he knew how powerful it was. He immediately got someone to seal off the palace. In addition, he closed the city gate on the grounds that thieves had entered the palace and stolen treasures. He ordered Lin Mu to lead the imperial guards to search every house.

“Go and investigate that Ping’er.” After Shangguan Han finished making the arrangements, he instructed, “Invite Lord Fan into the palace.”

Eunuch Wan should leave.

These days, Xiao Ruoshui’s emotions had been unstable. Fan Mingyuan had taken leave to take care of her at home. Because Eunuch Wan had urged him to hurry, he did not even change into his court clothes when he arrived.

After knowing that the empress dowager had disappeared, he asked, “Your Majesty suspects that it’s Lord Xian… Did the people of the Wu Kingdom kidnap the empress dowager to threaten Ah Chen?”

“That’s right. The Wu Kingdom has lost three cities in a row. This is their only way now. ”

Moreover, that person believed that his mother had caused his mother’s death. He hated his mother. Only he would do this. Only he had the ability.

It was normal for him to have a hidden pawn that he had not pulled out after lying low for more than ten years.

Fan Mingyuan frowned. “If it was really him, the empress dowager would have been taken out of the city by now.”

How could Shangguan Han not know this? He just did not want to let go of the slightest possibility.

He slammed his fist against the wall angrily. “I can’t ignore Mother’s life.” Even if he had to retreat.

Fan Mingyuan lowered his eyes. He had already sacrificed so many soldiers. If that happened, even if the empress dowager was saved, she would become a sinner of Great Xia.

Thinking of something, he said, “Your Majesty, can you let me check the list of palace servants who served Nangong Xia back then?”

Shangguan Han was stunned. When he realized who Nangong Xia was, he quickly got someone to call Su Yun over.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran in. “Not good, Your Majesty. The former emperor is missing…’

Perhaps it was true that a wreaked havoc would live for a thousand years. Shangguan Qingyu, the former emperor, was imprisoned in a side hall and had been living well for so long.

Shangguan Han and Fan Mingyuan looked at each other, even more certain of their guess.

There was no other reason. In that person’s heart, Song Li was the executioner who killed Nangong Xia, and Shangguan Qingyu was the evil person who imprisoned her.

On the other side, the battle against the Wu Kingdom became more and more intense. Great Xia and the Xuanyuan Kingdom’s army worked together, and the Southern and Eastern Barbarians scattered a portion of their troops. A few armies attacked the hinterland of the Wu Kingdom and occupied Changping, Binzhou, Shi Prefecture, and many other Wu Kingdom cities.

In mid-November, the army was stationed outside the capital city. The winter was bitterly cold, and the river outside the capital city was already covered in a thick layer of ice.

“Inform everyone to rest and reorganize for three days before attacking the city.”

In the tent, Song Jingchen inserted a flag into the middle of the sand table, to represent the Wu Kingdom’s capital.

If Sikong Yi and Xuanyuan Ce did not object, the other generals would not have any objections.

After everyone left, Shen Yijia came out from behind the screen with a big stomach.

MO Yuan followed closely, her face filled with nervousness.

Song Jingchen stood up and walked forward to support her. “Aren’t you tired? Why are you out?”

When he touched her hand, it was a little cold. Song Jingchen took off his cloak and put it on her. The two of them were of different heights. The cloak covered Shen Yijia’s body from the neck down.

This wasn’t enough. Song Jingchen carefully helped her tie the ribbon. It was warm, but it was a little strange.

Shen Yijia looked up at him with a serious expression. “Do I look like a ball to you?”

Song Jingchen’s gaze subconsciously landed on her stomach. He held back his laughter and shook his head. “No.”

Shen Yijia was already six months pregnant, but her stomach looked bigger than anyone else’s. Early on in the pregnancy, she did not manage to check it. Later on, she realized that she was pregnant with twins.

Although she was pregnant with two children, this girl still jumped up and down all day. It really shocked everyone.

However, she was very stubborn and refused to return to Nanling Pass first.

It was unknown if it was because Xiao Qirui’s incident had frightened her or if it was because she was pregnant and sensitive.

There was once when Song Jingchen’s team encountered an ambush by the Wu army and returned a day later than planned. She was so worried that she didn’t sleep the entire night. The next day, she secretly sneaked out to look for him behind Ji Luo’s back. Fortunately, Song Jingchen returned in time.

Because of this, Song Jingchen never said anything about asking her to retreat..
