"Ah – it hurts – it hurts –" Xi Jiu Er screamed as she ran towards the backyard, her speed so fast that the palace people could not catch up, and one of them said: "Not good, she's gone crazy."

That's right, he had been running around like a madman, but he had left them far behind in the blink of an eye. They were used to living like princes in the imperial palace. At this time, they were already panting and sweating profusely. Suddenly, someone joyously said, "There's water here." When he looked again, he was already gone. The miserable wails he heard from afar had gradually weakened.

Sigh, if he were to burn it and save his life, he would be extremely fortunate. In the future, he would also be a cripple. With a poor child in her womb! But thinking about it, their sympathy only lasted for a split-second. What have they not seen before when they came out of the palace? His sympathy had already been eaten by the dogs. They also knew that even if they managed to save the fire, it wouldn't do any good, so they didn't want to waste their efforts even if they had the strength to do so.

"Aiyo, what are you guys still standing there for? Quickly go find someone." The Old Eunuch more or less knew about the situation, knew that Xi Jiu Er was extremely important to Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge, furthermore, the Prince Xian truly liked to find a woman, and now that the girl had turned out like this, they could forget about finding a way out.

"But... I reckon he's already dead." one of them whispered. He was slapped hard by the old eunuch, "Go and find someone, otherwise, you'll be dead meat."

The old eunuch's eyes were bloodshot and his white face was extremely terrifying. He frightened the palace maids so much that they slipped away like smoke to find someone. In the end, he was unable to find her. He only saw a burnt dress beside a small river. It was the woman's clothes! Could it have been washed away by the river? The palace maids walked along the road for another half a day but found nothing. In the end, they impatiently and nervously returned to report their findings.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!" Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge used all of his strength. Today, he only brought a personal bodyguard and a group of people to stand guard in the distance. He sent all of them out to look for him, but in the end, no one came. The guards were much faster than the palace maids, and by the time the palace maids returned, they had already been back for a long time.

"Destroy them all for me, leave no one alive." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge stared at the servant, thinking that they had timidly missed the best time to save her, he immediately became furious.

The court ladies turned pale as they kneeled on the ground and kowtowed. The Old Eunuch did not punish because he was his senior and Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge needed his help. Thus, the five palace maids were dealt with by the guards and their corpses were cleaned up.

Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge heard from the guard's report that he was probably washed away by the river water to jump into the river to force the fire. Or perhaps — one was already on the verge of death. Otherwise, why would he be gone so quickly?

Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge had lost to the Madame and lost his soldiers, there was no one here, how was he going to account to the Prince Xian? With a dark expression, he thought that Xi Jiu Er had always been clever, maybe he was just teasing them. Some of the guards had gone down the river to search. A quarter of an hour later, the guard reported that the other end of the river was flowing into the sea.

The sea is so big, how can we find it?

"Any leads?" Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge did not give up and asked.

"Yes …" The guard handed over a corner of the undergarment that had been burnt into a deformed shape. If the undergarment was burnt to such a crisp, would this person still have any good points? Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge could only accept the reality before his eyes, but in his heart, he had a nagging feeling that Xi Jiu Er was still alive.

"You guys send people to search secretly, don't let Prince Xian find out." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge instructed for the rest of his life, then left in a heavy tone. He looked behind him deeply and instructed the carriage, "Let's go." Then he secretly entered the palace... Someone from the palace reported that a servant named Dong Zhu had called Prince Xian back.

"Did Prince Xian say anything when he woke up?" Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge sat down and asked.

The court lady replied, "I only said that I felt something was wrong."

In that case, the Prince Xian must be suspicious. Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge closed his eyes and instructed: "We will be bathing." The servant immediately ordered for them to prepare some soup baths, in the huge palace, other than Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's trusted aides, there was nothing else. As long as he closed his eyes and the fire person appeared in front of him, Xi Jiu Er's screams would sound like a large hammer smashing into his heart, causing her to tremble from the pain.

"Jiu Er — We did not do it on purpose. We really did not do it on purpose … I mean no harm... Why would there be a fire? "There's something weird, there's something weird!" Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge suddenly opened his eyes as suspicion arose in his heart. What candle flame would there be in the middle of the day? Xi Jiu Er was a cautious person, so how could he light it up so easily? Something was not right. Something was not right. He had only cared about sadness, but he had never thought about it!

Maybe it was a trick that Xi Jiu Er had used to trick her. She had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, maybe she had learned it from somewhere. Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's mind was active again, the more she thought about it, the more she was sure of her thoughts. Moreover, Xi Jiu Er had a servant by her side who had very high martial skills. If he did not see her, where did she go?

He slowly closed his eyes. Everything was waiting for news from the guards he sent out! Furthermore, Prince Xian followed Dong Zhu back to his courtyard, he frowned as he felt that there was something fishy about the matter today. He was someone who was not even drunk, how could he get drunk so easily? Besides, he only saw the emperor's personal old eunuch and didn't see the emperor. He also said that the emperor had already rested when he was drunk. Logically speaking, the emperor should have gone to serve this old eunuch when he was drunk, so why would he defend himself?

Taking a deep breath, Prince Xian was at a loss. When they returned to the courtyard, they immediately felt that something was wrong. The courtyard was completely silent as the servants and maids ran off somewhere. He could smell the scent of blood … His expression immediately changed.

"Where is he?" Dong Zhu asked suspiciously, and quickly went to see Xi Jiu Er. She opened the door to find nothing, and asked: "Madame? Madame? "

Prince Xian followed them to look around. There were a total of five maids and four servants. Adding Xi Jiu Er and Liu Shui, all eleven of them were gone! Prince Xian's first guess was that Xi Jiu Er ran away? No, that's not right, Xi Jiu Er's previous attitude was not to run, and what was this bloody smell? Could it be that Feng Qing Cheng this fellow kidnapped Xi Jiu Er? Or had his dignified Prince Xian Courtyard been robbed?

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense!

"Your Highness, I haven't seen the Madame, I haven't seen anyone else!" Dong Zhu was unsettled: "My prince, has something happened? Servant feels that something is amiss."

"I'll send someone to look for it." Prince Xian rubbed her temple, this part of her body was hurting slightly, she wondered what kind of wine this was.

"Bang!" Something smashed onto the ground beside his feet, causing Dong Zhu to take a step back. Prince Xian looked down and saw that he had been stopped. Shui Xian's figure came out from the shadows: "When I came here, I saw that there was no one there, so I looked around. I met this guy who was sneakily looking for something.
