The laurel had something on his mind, so he could not sleep at night. He only went to bed when he was making small clothes, and got up late the next day.
She slowly walked into the bed of the princess, the room was quiet, the curtains were down, and she quietly lifted up her account book to look inside. Eh, there was no one here, and the Heir was also not around, it seemed like he had already woken up, the princess was probably taking Heir for a walk.
But when she looked at it, she felt that something wasn't right. The princess had a good habit of getting out of bed, and if the others weren't there, she would arrange the quilt by herself. She wouldn't let it lie haphazardly on the bed. Also, if it was in the palace, Princess Huo Wu would never bring the cape to Heir. However, that small cape was usually placed at the end of the bed, so why was it gone?
She had a strange feeling in her heart and started to panic. She ran to the kitchen and found Qi Hong preparing breakfast. "Breakfast will be ready soon …"
Yue Lao was a little nervous. "Has elder sister seen the wangfei today?"
Qi Hong shook his head, "In the past, it was always you waiting for me at close range. When I woke up, I had already gone to the kitchen but I had never seen Princess Hua-Yang before."
"But the princess is not in her room, and the bed sheets are scattered everywhere. The Heir's cape is also missing, I feel that something is amiss, maybe she went out early in the morning?"
"How could he go out so early?" Qi Hong became anxious, "Hurry and report this to the Head Steward and have him send people to look for him."
Hao Pingguan was playing with birds in the corridor, hearing Yue Guiyi's report, he immediately sent people to look for him. As Lv He listened to the letter, he went back to his room to tell Jia Tong that Jia Tong had a carefree personality, and did not dare to be careless. There was no one who would disappear early in the morning, so he went straight to Bai Qianfan's bed to check it out.
This was Lv He's first time seeing him in this state, and her heart sank immediately. She asked: "What did you see?"
Jia Tong came out of his house with a dark face, "Go tell Head Steward not to let anyone find him."
"Why?"
"Go quickly!" "Let them all stay where they are. Don't move."
Lv He had never been hurt by him and was very surprised, but now was not the time to fuss about it. She hurriedly went to find Hao Pingguan, and when she saw that there was someone looking for her along the way, she also told them to stop.
Hao Pingguan understood Jia Tong very well, upon hearing his words, his face immediately changed. He ran into the backyard and asked, "Did something big happen?"
Jia Tong stood by the window, his eyes fixed on something. Upon hearing Hao Pingguan's question, he did not turn his head back, and instead said, "Three things, one, send a message to General Han, ask him to quickly bring his men to seal the few important roads outside the city. Two, send a message to the Duke, ask him to return quickly.
They were all seniors following Prince Chu, and the more critical the situation, the more composed they would be. Hao Pingguan didn't ask anything, and immediately did as he was ordered.
Qi Hong and Lv He stood silently at the side. The bay tree's cultivation level was lower than usual, so she asked Jia Tong with a trembling voice, "What did you see? Where are the princess and the Heir? "
Jia Tong did not speak, he suddenly jumped onto the roof and stood in the morning light, his sharp eyes sweeping across the roof, suddenly, he grabbed onto something and smelled it, and held it in his hand.
The sky was not bright, and although it was dark early in the morning, Jia Tong's face was darker than the sky. He spread his arms and jumped down from the house. He didn't say anything as he walked along the corridor. His steps were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Suddenly, he came down from the corridor. He pulled open a bush and squatted down to take a closer look. When he stood up, his face was even more gloomy.
Hao Pingguan had already arranged everything, and came to meet up with him. Jia Tong seemed to be in charge of everything, and ordered in a deep voice, "Arrange a group of people to search along the east gate, and see if they can find the carrier pigeons that were shot to death."
Hao Pingguan was shocked, "So you're saying, the other party had already planned this beforehand? That's why you think a pigeon message is unreliable? "
"Continue to report to General Han. He said that I will bring his men to the north gate and ask him to come along with me." Jia Tong asked as he walked: "How many people are left in the manor?"
"The total number of guards is less than one hundred," Hao Pingguan asked. "Do you want to borrow some men from the crown prince?"
Jia Tong waved his hand decisively, "No need, leave fifteen people for you to order, I will take the rest."
As he spoke, his footsteps were fast, his gaze was cold, as if he had changed into a different person. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared beside the Lunar Gate. Hao Pingguan chased after him into the courtyard.
Very quickly, the chaotic scene disappeared, and the rear courtyard completely quietened down. A few servant girls stood far away and stuck their heads into the courtyard.
There were already officials in the front yard who were on duty, but no one noticed anything, but the crown prince had obviously received the news and rushed over from there to ask Hao Pingguan, "What happened, I heard that wangfei and Heir are missing?"
Hao Pingguan did not dare to hide the truth, and could only report it truthfully. The crown prince's expression changed greatly, as he scolded the normally amiable people while pointing at his nose, "You dog slave! Why didn't you report back to me after what had happened? What are you doing? Did the Prince send someone to inform you? If anything happens to the princess and Heir, go ahead and cry in front of the Prince Chu, see if he will tear you into pieces! "
Hao Pingguan was dejected and did not make a sound, who would have thought that such a thing would happen? He was perfectly fine being robbed, but this bandit was also extremely powerful, with the and the crown prince inside.
"Where did Jia Tong go?"
Hao Pingguan replied softly, "He didn't say anything, he just brought his people and left."
"Why don't you clarify it?" The Crown Prince was slightly angry, "I see that you are getting more and more back alive," he paused for a moment, then said, "How about this, I will send people to chase you down. If you stay in the mansion, tell them to return immediately."
"Yes, this servant knows." Hao Pingguan bent his waist, raised his head and watched the crown prince leave in a hurry.
In the hallway, the three servant girls all had different expressions. Qi Hong was sad, Lv He was gloomy and grave, the laurel was the most chaotic, she couldn't sit yet, she couldn't even stand, she was anxious and couldn't think, the moment she thought about it, tears would come out, she raised her hand and wiped them away, then shouted at the two elder sisters, "Why don't you guys say a few words, what is going on here?"
Lv He sighed. "What else could have happened?
"Ah!" Yue Guiyi sat slumped in her chair. "Then … then … wangfei, she …"
Qi Hong interrupted her, "The wangfei will be fine. She is so smart, she will definitely think of a way to escape. Let's not panic and wait. "
Lv He walked into the courtyard and raised her head to look at the sky. The sky was even darker than it was in the morning.
When she retracted her gaze, she saw a person standing on the embroidery roof in the distance. She looked at him, and saw that it was Huangfu Zhuer, and he was a distance away, so she couldn't see him clearly but Lv He had a misconception. It was as if Huangfu Zhuer was smiling, that was the kind of smile that would cause her heart to skip a beat. When she thought about it, she felt that it was impossible, Huangfu Zhuer was locked up, and was unable to protect herself, even if she wanted to, she would not be able to do so.
