Xie Shang was so angry that he grabbed Aoxue's neck. "Lin Yu is sick, and you are sick too. Who do you belong to? She went crazy and took people away, and you went crazy with her. What medicine did you give her? Do you want her to forget me and live a carefree life after leaving the palace?"

Aoxue just felt that she couldn't breathe and quickly shook her head, "No..."

At this time, Ye Ying also came, and he quickly begged for mercy for Aoxue, "It's all my fault. Your Majesty, please forgive Aoxue. I am willing to take the punishment for her. I will definitely find the Queen as soon as possible."

He had now found out clearly that it was Aoxue who took the token of the Imperial Guard and sent Lin Yu and others out of the palace that night. Lin Yu's people disguised themselves as guards and took the Queen out of the palace. Bai Yuhan might have also left the palace at that time. He didn't dare to say these words now. He had clearly found out long ago that it might be Aoxue who sent Bai Yuhan out of the palace, but he didn't expect that the Queen was also among them, which delayed them for half a month.

He thought: Since the emperor has already ordered that Concubine Han should die suddenly, everything will be fine.

Xie Shang loosened his grip and said to Aoxue in a cold voice, "Go and chop off Lin Yu's head for me. If you can't find the queen, you will all die. Get out, all of you, get out."

Yeying grabbed Aoxue's hand and pulled her out. Aoxue was already scared silly at this time. Ayu really angered the emperor, and the emperor wanted to kill Ayu. She shed tears and slapped herself twice, "It's all my fault, I should have stopped Ayu, I..."

Ye Ying comforted him, "Let's find the queen first, and then the emperor will calm down."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used your token to send them out of the palace." When Aoxue didn't find Lin Yu, she knew she had made a big mistake: "But the queen took a medicine to make her lose her memory, and now she can't be found. Where did Ah Yu take her?"

She then asked Lian Ye and Hong Xiu: "Aren't you the Madam's personal maids? Where would they go?"

Hongxiu said, "Go to Xiangya Pavilion." Usually she would go to Xiangya Pavilion to get the account book. As for the business outside, Lin Yu has always been busy with it, and Hongxiu would also find a way to contact Lin Yu.

Xie Zixuan and Xie Hongyou pushed the door open and quietly slipped in and ran to their father. The two children saw that their father's eyes were red, "Father is crying, Father, don't cry, Xuan'er asked grandma to return mother to us, let's go find grandma."

Xie Hongyou said, "The Queen Mother just went to see her mother and will be back soon."

This is how Hongxiu and Lianye coaxed them, so they remembered firmly that their mother would come back.

Xie Shang said, "Yes, she just went to the Jiang family, she will be back."

"Father reads to me, but mother said that Father is very busy every day so he doesn't read to me." Xie Zixi didn't cry either, "I will read to him from now on."

She ran to the low bookshelf specially made for them, took out an enlightenment book and read it to Xie Shang.

Xie Shang looked at his daughter's well-behaved and lovely appearance. He didn't expect that Xian'er knew so many words. They were all taught by Jiang Fenghua. She loved children very much and must be reluctant to leave them.

Xie Hongyou didn't learn that well, but he was very caring. "Youyou takes care of his younger sister and brother, and also takes care of his mother."

Xie Shang looked at the two sensible children and held them in his arms, "Xian'er, You'er, your father will find your mother back for you."

"Xiao Ye said that the Queen Mother went to visit her grandmother, and Xi'er also wants to go visit her grandmother."

Xie Shang thought to himself: Is Jiang Fenghua in the Jiang family?

So he handed the two children to Nanny Wang, told them to take good care of them, and left the palace.

When they arrived at Jiang's residence, Feng Jingyuan saw that he was in casual clothes. She bowed and then asked, "Did the queen not leave the palace with the emperor?"

Xie Shang concealed the sadness in his eyes and said gently, "I was just passing by and came to ask Master Jiang about some academic matters. Ruan Ruan did not leave the palace." It seemed that she did not return to the Jiang Mansion. Lin Yu deliberately wanted to hide her. How could he bring her back? He was so stupid.

Feng Jingyuan knew that it would be difficult for her daughter to leave the palace after she married into the palace.

Xie Shang said again, "Mother-in-law, I want to go to Ruan Ruan's room to take a look."

Feng Jingyuan was stunned and said quickly, "After Ruan Ruan got married, I also asked people to clean her room regularly. I will take the emperor up there!"

Xie Shang nodded, "Thank you, mother-in-law."

Feng Jingyuan wanted to say that they were all family and there was no need to thank him, but then she thought about the other party's identity as the emperor, so she said nothing more.

Xie Shang asked again, "Didn't Ruan Ruan grow up in Shengjing City when she was a child? She often mentioned her grandmother and grandfather, as well as her uncles to me." He wondered if she had gone to the Feng family. After all, the Feng family had also come to the palace to meet Jiang Fenghua last time.

Feng Jingyuan said, "Ruan Ruan only went to her grandparents' house occasionally. Yu County is not close to Shengjing, and we were worried about such a young girl leaving her parents. After she was about seven or eight years old, she went there often. Her uncles and aunts all liked Ruan Ruan very much. She was beautiful since she was a child. Her father even drew many portraits of Ruan Ruan when she was a child. At her grandparents' house, our Ruan Ruan was a little ugly except for a period of time when she changed a few teeth, but she was pretty all the time."

Feng Jingyuan is very proud of her two daughters and thinks that both of them are beautiful, with the younger one being more delicate.

After hearing this, Xie Shang asked, "She lived in Shengjing until she was eight or nine years old?" She lied to him again.

He remembered that day she asked Jiang Fenghua whether she had ever been to the palace when she was a child, and her answer was no.

Only then did Xie Shang remember why she didn't ask her mother directly. The Jiang family should remember it better than her. After all, she was still young at that time and might not have remembered it.

"Did Ruan Ruan ever go to the palace when she was a child? For example, did she accompany her father-in-law to attend a banquet held in the palace?"

Feng Jingyuan shook her head. "It's been a long time, and I don't remember. Her father's official position was not high, so he had few opportunities to enter the palace. It seems that she entered the palace once, when the Great Zhou defeated the Hu tribe and the palace held a banquet. The Jiang family was also invited, and Ruan Ruan seemed to have gone with them. Ruan Ruan was only five or six years old at that time. Since then, she has returned home like a different person, studying more seriously. Before that, she also liked to play and be lazy..."

"What color dress was she wearing at that time?" Xie Shang felt excited.

Feng Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, "I can't remember either. It's been too long."

"Is it white?" Xie Shang asked directly.

Feng Jingyuan was stunned. "It seemed to be white, I can't remember clearly, but it also seemed to be pink..."

"Ruan Ruan also started to replace her front teeth when she was five or six years old!" Xie Shang deliberately tested.

Feng Jingyuan nodded. "How did the emperor know? Ruan Ruan replaced her front teeth when she was over five years old. She felt that she was ugly without teeth."

Xie Shang was completely dumbfounded. Everything matched the criteria. "Does the Jiang Mansion have a portrait of Ruan Ruan when she was a child?"

"It seems like there is. Maybe we should look for it in the study. His father drew it. It's not a good drawing. Ruan Ruan doesn't like it, but that was her experience of growing up. I left a painting for her quietly. It looks like Xiao Xian'er."

Xie Shang thought that his daughter was cute and smart. Did Jiang Fenghua look a lot like Xian'er when she was a child?

He couldn't remember what the little girl in his mind looked like. He only remembered that she had no front teeth and what she said.

But why does Jiang Fenghua keep denying it?
