How to run a WMI sub query inside a foreach loop?

I am new to WMI. I have this WMI query that gets all the Virtual machine instances running on a remote windows server 2008 r2. Once I get the instance, how do I run a query on it and find the location where its vhd file is stored?

using System; 
using System.Management;

public class RemoteConnect
{
    public static readonly string VirtualMachineQuery = "SELECT * FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem WHERE __SERVER != Name";

    public static void Main()
    {

        var connectionOptions = new ConnectionOptions
        {
            Username = @"domain\username",
            Password = "password",
            Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate,
            Authentication = AuthenticationLevel.Packet
        };

        var path = new ManagementPath
        {
            ClassName = "",
            NamespacePath = @"root\virtualization",
            Path = @"\\servername\root\virtualization",
            RelativePath = "",
            Server = "servername"
        };


        var mgmtScope =
            new ManagementScope(
                path, connectionOptions);

        mgmtScope.Connect();
        Console.WriteLine(mgmtScope.IsConnected);

        var search = new ManagementObjectSearcher(
           mgmtScope,
           new ObjectQuery(VirtualMachineQuery));

        ManagementObjectCollection collection = search.Get();

        foreach (var instance in collection)
        {
            //I want to run a query on the VM instance and get its vhd file location
            //How do I do that?

            foreach (var property in instance.Properties)
            {

                Console.WriteLine(property.Name);
                Console.WriteLine(property.Value);
                Console.WriteLine("********************************");

            }

        }

    }

}
