The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 171
As Xian Zi Xuan and Pei Shi Liang were having breakfast, Xian Zi Xuan's subordinates met Bei Yin to report the matter. As the masters ate, the subordinates only watched from afar and did not dare to approach. Only the servants were around to serve. But from a distance, it was predictable what happened where Xian Zi Xuan continued to disturb Pei Shi Liang from Pei Shi Liang's annoyed face which was clearly visible. Very different from. Xian Zi Xuan's seemingly calm face yet hiding something within his fox-like eyes found his prey to be deceived.
As the two finished their meal, Bei Yin ventured to approach Xian Zi Xuan to report.
"Hem. I get it." Xian Zi Xuan nodded in understanding after Bei Yin finished whispering the information he had obtained. Then looked at the calm-looking Pei Shi Liang in his seat.
Bei Yin had just reported to her that there was news spreading in the palace and the capital that mentioned that the little prince who was Pei Zhang Xi's son disappeared this morning. The news originally came from the Peace pavilion which was the residence of the little prince. They do not see or hear the baby's cries all night, but usually a few hours at night, they will hear the baby's voice. Whether it was crying or not.
According to the information Xian Zi Xuan had obtained regarding Pei Shi Liang, he knew that this girl he was after was very close to Pei Zhang Xi and Lu Jing Yu. So that if something happened to her nephew, surely this girl was the one who at the moment would not be able to sit quietly opposite her.
Looking at Xian Zi Xuan's fickle countenance, Pei Shi Liang frowned. "What's His Highness Crown Prince Shixian seeing me like that?"
"It's okay. The show will start soon. We better get to the show." Xian Zi Xuan chose to ignore the matter. After all he had met Pei Zhang Xi personally. He knows how this guy works. Surely he would not let anything bad happen to his son like being kidnapped so easily by someone.
And this girl in front of him was Pei Zhang Xi's younger brother who was educated under his own. This girl would also be unlikely to be an ordinary girl. Seeing how calm he was, he knew something would not go without a plan.

The first event that will be held is a one-month event that is at the same time naming. The naming event was held in the Imperial garden which has been transformed into a beautiful impromptu garden party.
But the happy and cheerful atmosphere that should be in the party place is not felt. Every invited guest who came, they talked about the little prince who had been kidnapped by whispering. At first they were hesitant to keep coming because a news is not necessarily always true. So they decided to keep coming and see what the truth was.
Especially after they thought that the father of the kidnapped baby was Pei Zhang Xi. Pei Zhang Xi had his own great guard. Even the Empire's soldiers would lose if the two engaged in battle. The care for her could not possibly be strong and let her child be kidnapped so easily. However, who would boldly spread the rumors about Pei Zhang Xi's son?
While the other Emissaries from the Empire were seen calmly sitting in their place even though they actually heard the same news. Yet they kept their composure and saw what the Shao Empire would do if there was this kind of chaos. If the solution taken is not right, it may be enough to talk about for the next few years.
Not only were the guests talking about this, the Emperor's daughters sitting at their place were also talking about the same thing. They regretted that the kidnapping actually happened. However, most of them did not believe there would be such a big thing and the Empire could still look calm. Some of them don't bother at all. They preferred to talk about the princes from other empires who were emissaries of their Empire. These princesses began to look and compare between them.
"Yun Qi, where did you go? Why hasn't he come yet?" Xian Mu Xuan glanced at his servant and asked. The whole place was almost full but her brother had not been seen yet. This morning he only received a message from his brother so that he set out alone and did not wait for him but did not know what was going on and why his brother asked him to leave alone.
"Please forgive the Princess' servant. His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say where he was going this morning. His Majesty just gave the order for you to leave without waiting for him." Replied Yun Qi.
"Well, ask the guard. The show is almost started but brother hasn't arrived yet."
"Eh princess, isn't that His Highness the Crown Prince?" Yun Qi who was about to leave turned around and looked at the person Xian Mu Xuan was looking for. Xian Mu Xuan immediately looked over and properly saw the older brother he had been looking for since. But apparently, his brother did not come alone. Except with a girl. And that girl was no stranger to him.
"Yun Qin, isn't that Shao's eighth daughter we saw yesterday in the garden?" Xian Mu Xuan could not believe what he saw and asked to be sure.
"It's.... It is true she is a princess. His Highness the Crown Prince did come along with the eighth Princess Shao. Pei Shi Liang." Yun Qin replied as he continued to pay attention to the slowly distorted look on Xian Mu Xuan's face. He knew very well that his master did not like Pei Shi Liang who he thought did not have the manners that a Princess should have.
"How could my brother choose to come with her instead of coming with me?" Yun Qin did not dare to answer and lowered his head without daring to lift it up again.
