Chapter 313 Xia Qi disappeared
"What do you mean Xia Ye died? You told me Xia Ye died?" The emperor was stunned when he heard the people from the Sticking Pole Department report that Xia Ye was dead. He never expected that Xia Ye would actually die.
Xia Jian was in charge of the Sticking Rod Office for the emperor, and was responsible for handling some things that the emperor could not do openly. Everything he did was what the emperor had to do, so everyone who knew about Xia Jian in the Sticking Rod Office had died. This was also why the emperor was so surprised that Xia Jian had died.
It is no wonder that the people from the Sticking Rod Office and the emperor ignored Xia Gan. After all, they were in single-line contact. The Sticking Rod Office reported to Xia Gan, and Xia Gan reported to the emperor. Others were not qualified to meet the emperor.
Xia Qian did not report to the emperor every day, but only went to see the emperor when there was something necessary. So when Xia Qian disappeared, no one noticed it immediately.
"Yes. I have been looking for Master Xia for several days, but I still can't find him, so I have to come and report to the emperor." The person who came to report was Xia Qian's direct subordinate. He was the first to discover Xia Qian's disappearance, but he didn't care at the time, thinking that he just couldn't find him for a while. It's not that he hasn't been found before, but this time he disappeared for a long time. He found out that it has been five days since then. He really didn't dare to wait any longer, so he came to report to the emperor.
The emperor was shocked for a while before he slowly digested the fact that Xia Qiyi had really disappeared. "When was the last time you had contact with Xia Qiyi? Where did he disappear? Do you have any clues?"
"Your Majesty, the last time I met with Lord Xia was ten days ago. Lord Xia ordered me to guard the Yikun Palace and General Nian's Mansion."
"What did you find?"
"General Nian has sent messages to Concubine Hua many times, asking how Concubine Hua is doing."
"Just asking how are you? Anything else?"
"No. Ever since Concubine Hua got pregnant, General Nian's mansion has become even more cautious. Even the gifts were returned."
The emperor's frown relaxed for a moment, then frowned again. "Keep watching these two places and investigate Xia Qie's whereabouts. We must find him alive or dead."
Although he just disappeared, disappearing is basically the same as being dead. The emperor suspected that Xia Qian was killed by Concubine Hua, but he didn't think it was possible. After all, she was the first person to be suspected after Xia Qian died, and she wouldn't be that stupid.
In Yongshou Palace, Lingrong was making clothes for the Seventh Prince. After having the Seventh Prince, her life seemed to be peaceful and quiet. She didn't care about the struggles in the harem and only cared about this courtyard and her Seventh Prince.
When the emperor arrived, he saw Ling Rong sitting by the brazier in the corridor, singing a little tune and making clothes. Next to her, the Seventh Prince was running around with a puppy. The puppy was raised by Ling Rong when she was pregnant. The puppy grew up with the Seventh Prince and has now grown into a big dog.
"It's cold outside, why don't you come inside?"
"Outside the light is good, and I can see him running around, which makes me feel more at ease." Ling Rong smiled calmly. Although the windows in the house were covered with paper, the light was still dim when I was embroidering clothes in the afternoon.
Lingrong put down the clothes in her hands, stood up, put her hand on the hand extended by the emperor, and the two walked into the hall together.
"My hands are cold, but there are embroiderers out there, so I don't have to make the clothes myself."
"I'm just free, so I'll make two for the Seventh Prince and one for you as well."

I didn't think about how to write it a few days ago. Now I'm planning to develop the idea that the emperor will confer titles on his concubines in the harem to check and balance Concubine Hua. Concubine Hua will keep the child, but not the person.
