The flames of the day glowed white, and huge columns of smoke rose into the sky.

The people in the black garb scattered in all directions. The guards of the city were caught off guard, while the onlookers ran away screaming. Blood dripped onto the faces of the people outside in a mess.

Right now, his hawk-like sharp eyes were only focused on Qi Rou, while he still needed to follow Qi Rou to the room behind Misty Rain Pavilion. It was obvious that Qi Rou was going to deal with this matter after receiving the news, so she hurriedly looked at him, "Prince, you have a heavy smell of smoke on your body, which could easily be detected by a hunting dog. It's best to clean it up properly."

Duan Cheng Xuan nodded and wiped off the bloodstained blade before tossing the handkerchief into the basin.

Those are just pig's blood that got infected early in order to cause chaos.

Luckily, Misty Rain Pavilion dealt in makeup, so even if they did manage to find a hound, it would still take some time, not to mention that Qi Rou naturally had the ability to hide a living person. Since she placed Duan Chengxuan in the woodshed, he only changed into a servant's uniform and put on a human skin mask.

The soldiers outside all filed in, seeing Qi Rou, they had to watch as King Zong Ping gave her some face, politely saying, "Miss Qi, I have offended you today."

Qi Rou had always been different from these flattering people, she only smiled and said, "What are you talking about, the inn next to this inn was in trouble, tomorrow my shop's business will be reduced by a few percent, if you can find the real culprit, I can earn back as soon as possible."

"That's true." The soldier hurriedly nodded, thinking that Qi Rou knew how to speak.

The other soldiers came out with a bloody handkerchief in their hands. "Sir, this place has been discovered …"

"Aiya!" Qi Rou quickly stood up and pulled the bloody handkerchief over to the maidservant behind her. The maidservant's face immediately turned red as she whispered, "It's Ling'Er who came to drink Sunflower Dew today …"

As he said that, the other soldiers turned red in the face and the leader smacked the man on the head, "Do you know how to do business!? Do you see anyone else? "

"There are only seven or eight maidservants busy in the backyard. There's a young man in the woodshed over there unloading firewood, arguing with another maidservant." There's nothing else. " The man rubbed her head, feeling that the blood in her hand was off the charts.

Qi Rou timely handed over the handkerchief and said, "I'm so sorry, we have a little girl in this house here and there. I just didn't expect that you would not send anyone to follow us after checking the backyard today."

Seeing that the handkerchief was still fragrant, how could the soldiers remember anything else? They hurriedly went to another place to search.

After sending off the group, the blushing maidservant sneered and took the handkerchief with the pig's blood to wash.

Qi Rou helplessly looked at the little girls who were getting more and more mischievous. She then leisurely walked to the woodshed and dismissed the people around her.

Duan Chengxuan sat cross-legged on a pile of straw as he held a woman's hairpin in his hand. On top of the hairpin was a ruby that was embedded with pigeon's blood, making it look dark and gloomy.

"Your Royal Highness, did you get this at a relay station?"

"This is my mother's jewelry. I've seen it before." Duan Chengxuan placed the hairpin into Qi Rou's hands and said, "When mother returns, pass this over to me. I want to make a trip to the palace."

"You're alone? Aren't you going to greet King Zong Ping? " Qi Rou carefully put the Blood Jade hairpin back into her sleeve and watched helplessly as Duan Cheng Xuan took out an indigo colored long robe and put it on.

"I'm just entering the palace to confirm a few things, what's more, in the palace, I have even more information." At the same time, there were also many people who were confused. Duan Chengxuan did not speak out the following words, and only quickened his pace as he said, "Tell Yu'er, there's no need to sit still and wait for death right now. Do whatever you want to do, otherwise, once that person eats us completely, there'll be no other way left."

If Yun Que had already arrived at Sky Flame City, then where had she gone to?

Duan Chengxuan didn't dare think deeply about it. If Gu Danyan was supposed to be completely safe because of everything he knew, then Yun Su's arrival would be like a knife hanging over Gu Ming's butt … .Once someone used Yun Dian to restrain Gu Danyan, he didn't know what would happen.

Moreover, very few people knew about the matter with Yun Wan. Liu'er and Zi Ming didn't reply for a long time, perhaps it was to find Yun Wan.

However, how could there be no news of an envoy disappearing and an emperor who had been in Sky Flame City for a long time?

Relying on the position of Duan Chengyu's identity plate and the trusted aides left by the Emperor to guard nearby, Duan Chengxuan entered the palace with the status of a concubine's relative.

Duan Cheng Xuan slightly raised his head and said with a gloomy and cold gaze, "Why are you waiting here?"

"The Emperor knows that you were the one who ordered the servants to wait here." As the eunuch spoke, he smiled and went over to help Duan Chengxuan tidy up the clothes on his body, then used a voice that only two people could hear and said, "Madam Yun is currently in the palace searching for the murderer. Today's matter happens to be going with the flow; the emperor's imperial edict has already been prepared."

Push the boat with the water, the cloud is in the palace...

Duan Chengxuan immediately understood and only said that because of Gu Ming's matter, he temporarily lost the ability to differentiate.

If that was the case, Yun Wan had already made a deal with the Emperor.

Following the eunuch to avoid the concubines who would appear here, Duan Chengxuan instead directly went to the deserted palace beside the cold palace in the imperial palace's rear courtyard. After entering, however, it was neat and tidy; the eunuch hurriedly closed the door, and a woman dressed in the clothes of a female official walked out of the bedroom. It was Liu'er, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

When Liu'er saw Duan Chengxuan, she was slightly surprised, but then she heard the official say, "According to the Madam's instructions, this servant has already ordered His Highness Duke of Jing to stay here. This servant will not inquire further about the matters from now on."

With that, the eunuch left, leaving Liu'er to jog into the house and call Yun Dian out of the room.

When the two of them met, Duan Chengxuan directly said, "It's good as long as you're fine."

Yun Dian was stunned for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Qing Ze and father were kidnapped. Yan'Er might be trapped right now. The Emperor sent people to search for them for close to a month, but there was still no news of them."

"Even if we were to appear for this matter, we would still be worried that Miss has been hiding in your hands. There was also such a matter that happened before, so we rarely made any noise, and looking at it now, it seems like Navy Tide's situation is strange. Master has specially come to the palace to make a deal with the Emperor, and is even more concerned about meddling in matters of longevity."

At this moment, Duan Chengxuan indifferently looked at the black cloth that covered his face and said in a low voice, "Sir …." "Why are we still willing to stay in the palace? Shouldn't we be looking for Yan'Er now?"

"If I were going to make a headless fly, I would rather wait here." Yun Xiao gritted his teeth. She was in charge of this large Wind Listening Pavilion, so how could she let everything happen as she pleased? "But mother, you can protect your elder brother with your all."
