Yun Shang was stunned. "It appeared quietly in front of the secret guards?"
She also knew how capable the secret guards were. If the letter could quietly appear in front of them, the person who sent it must be not simple.
Yun Shang quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. Her voice was trembling, "Didn't your Majesty say that Chengye was replaced after the banquet? Then he must be still in the palace. As long as we guard the four gates in the East, South, West and North, it's not easy to take a child out of the palace.
Then why does the letter say that they have taken away Chengye?"
Luo Qingyan's face also darkened, "There are three possibilities. The first is that our previous thinking is wrong. Chengye might have been lost on the way back to the East Palace from the Taiji Palace. At that time, the banquet in the palace hadn't been dismissed yet. After being replaced, Chengye was taken back to the Golden Palace and waited to leave the palace until the banquet was over.
The second is that the person who kidnapped Chengye is very good at Kung Fu. He is so strong that even if the palace is so heavily guarded, we can't stop him at all. He can bring a child back and forth freely in the palace.
The third possibility is that the real Chengye is still in the palace. They are just cheating us."
Yun Shang held the letter tightly, "We're not sure what's going on, but we can't risk Chengye's life."
"Yes, of course." Luo Qingyan nodded and repeated, "We can't risk Chengye's life."
Neither of them spoke. Yun Shang's mind was in a mess. She lowered her head in silence, slowly unfolded the crumpled letter she had made, and put it back into the envelope.
"But the letter only tells us that he has got hold of Chengye, but it doesn't tell us what he wants and why he took him away.
It says that we can make a public announcement and search for Chengye as we like, but it claims that if he is not happy, he will kill Chengye. "
What on earth does he want to do?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head and said, "Maybe he is afraid that we still don't know that Chengye has been replaced, which makes it impossible for him to go on, so he specially sent this letter."
Yun Shang frowned, "But why is he sure that we will believe him only by this letter?"
"Even if you don't believe it, you will probably doubt it, right?"
Hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Yun Shang was silent for a moment. Then she took out the letter and looked at it carefully.
She just took a look subconsciously, but she really found something.
Yun Shang quickly unfolded the envelope and saw something stuck to the letter.
"This is..." Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "It's the cloth piece from the clothes that Chengye wore yesterday."
Both of them kept silent again. Yun Shang bit her lips and became more and more flustered.
She had always thought that she was a calm and self-control person, but now she found that when such a thing happened, she could not even keep calm.
Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't think of anything.
