Chapter 25： missing and kidnapped

Chapter 25 Disappearance and kidnapping

The second prince of Ningguo, Li Qian, can be said to be the most gentle and jade-like young master in the capital. Those well-known ladies who are waiting to be married have already regarded him as their future wishful husband in their hearts.

Some bold ladies even sent him things, but he gently rejected them all.

But even so, those young ladies who are full of love are even more infatuated with him.

Li Qian has a good relationship with almost all the children of the aristocratic family, but the one he knows the most is Gu Changan, the chief assistant. It's just that the relationship between the two is very low-key. After all, too frequent personal relationships between the prince and his courtiers will always lead to suspicion. No matter where the two of them went to meet, they had always found the most secret and safe place.

And now, the place where the two are located is a teahouse called Lumenglai.

In this tea house, many private rooms are arranged very secretly. It is very good at protecting the privacy of guests.

It is the place where Gu Changan and Li Qian most like to meet each other.

However, the current atmosphere between the two seems to be a bit wrong.

After Li Qian finished what he just said, he immediately saw that there seemed to be something wrong with Gu Changan's face.

"Brother Gu, what's wrong?" Li Qian was a little surprised.

Last night, the queen mother came to chat with her, because she didn't know where to get the news, saying that the queen wanted to marry the young lady of the Ruan family to the prince as a side concubine. And since the last incident in the hunting ground, his mother has been very fond of Miss Ruan's family. The woman's intuition told her that the queen must have some purpose, so she discussed with herself, and then she felt that she could marry Miss Ruan's family to herself.

Li Qian's love for men and women has always been weak. Although he has no interest in Miss Ruan's family, after careful consideration, he thinks that she is a very suitable person to be his concubine.

So, he agreed to his mother's idea.

I thought that if I told Gu Changan about this, he would not object, after all, he was entrusted by General Ruan to take good care of Miss Ruan's family. He has a very good relationship with the other party, and no one knows him better than Gu Changan. This kind of thing with no disadvantages, Gu Changan is actually...

A little unhappy?

Li Qian, who is always smart, is a little confused about Gu Changan's thoughts at this time.

On the other side, Gu Changan was very surprised to see Li Qian, and his heart was complicated.

It stands to reason that the queen still insists on marrying Ruan Youqing to the crown prince. Even if the emperor refuses to agree, then their mother and son will not let it go.

If Li Qian also has an idea here, it will make the other party think again.

But…

Marry Li Qian?

The delicate little fox turned around and saw him and wanted to call him Brother Gu? And he's going to see her as...brother's...wife?

uncomfortable!

Just thinking about it makes him feel very uncomfortable!

Gu Changan dissipated the gloom on his face, and returned to the meaningless look before: "Second prince, I suggest that you should not compete with the prince for Miss Ruan's family, which is very bad for you. If he thinks that because of this If you have the heart to fight against him, then he will target you everywhere from now on. Our prince is a man who will take revenge."

"But... in that case, the young lady of the Ruan family will be completely targeted by the queen and the crown prince. She wants to shake her off, but she won't let her go easily. How...how will you explain to your benefactor...old general Ruan?" Li Qian frowned slightly, Gu Changan's words did make sense. He didn't know what the crown prince's attitude was towards Miss Ruan's family. If he really had the mentality of not giving up if he couldn't get it, then he really lost more than he gained.

Seeing that Li Qian had relaxed his mind, Gu Changan reached out to fill his cup of tea for him, and said leisurely:

「I have my own way.」

At this moment, some noisy voices came from downstairs, Li Qian frowned slightly and looked out the window.

I saw a little girl and a few people rushing around looking for someone to ask what, the little girl had a very urgent expression on her face.

and…

This little girl...seems familiar?

"What's wrong?" Gu Changan asked casually.

"I see that there is a little girl downstairs who seems to be looking for someone, and this little girl... seems to be the personal maid of Miss Ruan's family."

When Li Qian just finished speaking, when he looked up to see the other party's reaction, Gu Chang'an disappeared!

After seeing that her young lady and princess had disappeared, Fan Er hurriedly returned to the carriage with her things in her arms, only to find that they hadn't come back, Fan Er really panicked, and took a few guards to squeeze into the crowd to continue searching.

Ask many passers-by, but in the end, none of them saw the two girls described by Fan Er.

Just as Faner was considering whether to go back home to find the old general, someone suddenly patted her behind her.

It was actually Gu Changan, the chief assistant!

"What happened?" Gu Changan asked directly.

Seeing this, Fan'er was a little surprised why the other party was here, but subconsciously said: "The chief...the chief assistant...my lady and your highness the princess...are gone!"

"Missing?" Gu Changan showed a stern look on his originally expressionless face, and then immediately ordered: "Don't say anything, I'll look for it."

Fan'er nodded gratefully: "My servant, thank you Lord Shoufu! Lord Shoufu must find my young lady! Otherwise... otherwise..."

Otherwise, her young lady might be...furious...

But even though Fan'er thought so in his heart, the words turned into: "Miss may be... in danger..."

Actually, if she asks herself, she is not worried about the safety of her own lady, but she is afraid that the other party will offend her master by doing despicable things.

Master, if there is no importance or something...

Gu Changan didn't think too much about it, and ordered Fan'er to go back to the Ruan Mansion first, and then set off by himself to take people to look for it.

…

Twenty miles away from the capital of Ningguo, there is a small village.

The village is sparsely populated, most of them are elderly.

At this time, five strangers came to a yard that had been deserted for a long time at the east end of the village. The other party said that they came from Qinghe City and came to the capital to do business, and because it was getting late, they borrowed an empty house to stay overnight.

Seeing that the other party was indeed carrying a few huge cargo boxes, the always kind-hearted village chief didn't have any suspicions, and readily agreed.

Night gradually fell, and some villagers had already rested.

But in the small courtyard where the outsiders lived, there was a bonfire.

A man who looked like a leader locked the courtyard door, then sat by the campfire, and said coldly:

「Are the two of you awake yet?」

「Boss, that pungent one is awake, and the other...main target seems to be still asleep.」

"Okay, this time we sell them to other places, and the job is over."

"Then...before we sell it...do we want to try something new?" A buck-toothed man rubbed his hands wretchedly, and kept looking back into the closed room while talking.

How could the leader not know what he meant, smiled evilly, and said, "If you are not afraid of being bitten by that pungent one, you can go."

"Hey hey hey! It's exciting when it's hot!" Saying that, the buck-toothed man got up and walked into the house.

At this time, the room was a little dark, and Li Ange curled up into a ball in panic.

And Ruan Youqing, who seemed to have just woken up, also sat up slowly, the expression on his face was hidden in the darkness.

"Youqing... don't be afraid."

Seeing that Li Ange was still trying to comfort herself, Ruan Youqing smiled helplessly, and then said: "In a moment...if something happens...don't be afraid."

Li Ange bit the soft flesh in his mouth hard, and gave a muffled hum.

If she heard correctly...the people outside had some dirty thoughts.

And at this moment, the door creaked and was pushed open.
