Chapter 961_1

That night, every household within the city was searched. Anyone who had a child of a few months old was brought in for questioning, caretakers included.

Two wet nurses participated in identifying the children, but none of them turned out to be the crown prince.

The next morning, when Gong Qinghua heard the results, he wasn't surprised. If it were so easy to find him, it wouldn't be the work of the person he had in mind! But how did she manage to dodge the search of so many soldiers?

Or could it be that someone was secretly helping them? This thought made Gong Qinghua give an order:

"Spread the word to prepare to open the city gates and to conduct careful checks on everyone. I myself will rescue the crown prince and the empress!"

When the sun was already high in the sky, the city gate was opened. Every person leaving the city, including those in carriages, had to get down for inspection.
