As his voice fell, the entrance of the Minister of War Palace instantly became deathly silent.

Li Yun was so angry by her precious son that she rolled her eyes, wishing that she could capture him and bring him back to the manor to teach him a lesson.

At his side, Xiao Jingyue's evil Qi surged, he looked at Li Chenxuan with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "Where is he?"

Li Chenxuan shook his head, and said apologetically: "This humble one went out to settle some matters yesterday, and met Mrs. Xiao who was unconscious on the road. Seeing that she was severely injured, this Li Chenxuan brought her back to this commoner's courtyard to request a doctor for treatment, and then left in a hurry to do some work. "He's gone."

Xiao Jingyue's expression changed, and his heart once again tensed up.

Li Chenxuan continued: "This commoner had just come out of the side courtyard, and was just about to order someone to go inform the general using General Mansion, when I heard that the general had come here."

Li Chenxuan did not continue the conversation, and everyone present also saw what she was about to say.

Xiao Jingyue stared at him for a long while, then shouted coldly: Go and search!

When he said search, it was naturally to investigate the courtyard Li Chenxuan was talking about.

Chen Linye immediately stepped forward, and said to Li Chenxuan: "Sir Li, please lead the way."

Li Chenxuan nodded lightly.

Waiting until Chen Linye and his men followed Li Chenxuan and left, Li Yun turned around to see that there were still soldiers guarding his own residence. He was slightly angered: "My son already said, Mrs. Xiao is indeed not inside the Minister Mansion, why are you still not withdrawing?"

However, Xiao Jingyue said: "Whenever you find this general's wife, withdraw your troops."

After he finished speaking, he walked in the direction that Chen Linye and Li Chenxuan had left in, and did not pay any more attention to him.

Qu Ling was unable to sleep soundly, and always felt that he was lying on a small boat, drifting with the waves.

When he woke up again and realized that the room he was in was yet another unfamiliar scene, he was completely dumbfounded.

Had she really rowed somewhere else in her dreams?

As she thought about it, she deliberately let out a light cough.

Indeed, there was someone guarding the door. Upon hearing the sound, that person asked, "Is Madam awake?"

Qu Ling said: "Come in."

That person pushed the door open and entered. It was the servant girl that had fed her twice.

The servant girl felt blessed and asked, "Does Madame have any orders?"

The servant girl was one of Li Chenxuan's men. Hearing her call him 'Madam', Qu Ling had the feeling that she was calling him Madam Li Chenxuan. He could not help but say, "You should call me Mrs. Xiao."

The servant replied: "Yes, Mrs. Xiao."

Qu Ling looked at his surroundings again and asked: "Where is this place?"

"To return to the Mrs. Xiao, this is the Treasure Pavilion."

"…"

Treasure Pavilion? Huo Xinyi's previous territory?

Wasn't she in Li Chenxuan's courtyard? Why did she come here?

So when she dreamt of floating in a small boat, she was actually riding on a horse carriage in reality?

Qu Ling exhaled with a slight headache, and did not ask further.

The servant girl also left, but not long later, she came back with a tray.

There were clean bandages and ointments on the tray.

Qu Ling was carefully helped to sit up by her, allowing her to undo his clothes and the bandage that was wrapped around his chest to change his medicine.

The servant girl's hand was very coincidental, and the entire process didn't make Qu Ling feel much pain.

After helping Qu Ling change his medicine and put on his clothes, she packed his things and carefully asked him if he had anything to instruct her.

Qu Ling's heart stirred as he asked, "What's your name?"

The servant girl answered: "To return to Mrs. Xiao, this servant's name is Xiao Ying."

"Little Ying." Qu Ling muttered, he did not say anymore, and ordered his people to leave.

After Lil 'Red left, the already quiet room became even quieter.

Qu Ling looked at the white roof and thought of Xiao Jingyue.

He should have woken up by now. He wondered if he had found her and how long it would take to find her.

When she was still in the manor, he would have been angry even if she wore one less piece of clothing. If he had known that she was using a hairpin to stab him, he would have been furious to the extreme.

But what could he do, he had been stimulated by her body in advance, and had even eaten her pill, which he did not know whether it was done by someone or not. In that situation, the most direct and fastest method was to take the blood in her heart to stabilize the Gu Worm in his body.

If there was any other way, she wouldn't stab herself.

She was so delicate that it hurt.

The courtyard was obviously empty. Xiao Jingyue still wanted to continue his search, but why did the imperial guards finally arrive? He was summoned into the palace by an imperial decree.

Prime Minister Jiang was also in the Imperial study room. When he saw Xiao Jingyue, he could not care less about the emperor's presence. He immediately asked: "Did you find Ah Ling?"

Xiao Jingyue shook his head.

Prime Minister Jiang's body swayed, his eyes opened wide as he retreated a few steps. Suddenly, he turned around and knelt in front of the emperor, "I beg for Your Majesty's help in finding this old one's granddaughter."

The empress had already come to look for the emperor last night. Even if the Prime Minister Jiang didn't request for it, the emperor still had to look for her.

He sighed and said, "Please get up my beloved daughter. I have already ordered people to search for her. As soon as there is any news, I will immediately inform you and my beloved daughter Xiao."

Only then did Prime Minister Jiang stand up.

Xiao Jingyue bowed respectfully to the emperor, then said: "If Your Majesty summons this subject because of this matter, when we find Ah Ling, this subject will personally enter the palace to beg for forgiveness."

With that, he immediately bade farewell to the emperor and left the royal study without looking back.

Prime Minister Jiang urgently wanted to find her granddaughter and followed her out.

After the two of them left, only the Emperor and Eunuch Xi were left in the imperial study.

The helpless expression on the emperor's face instantly vanished without a trace, and replacing it was a haze.

Eunuch Xi's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

Xiao Jingyue and Prime Minister Jiang left the palace together. Prime Minister Jiang asked: "Do you have any leads?"

Xiao Jingyue replied: "Li Chenxuan."

Prime Minister Jiang had also heard about the matter of him leading troops to surround the Minister of War Palace. Although he felt that it was inappropriate, he did not say much.

Xiao Jingyue informed Prime Minister Jiang of Li Chenxuan's reasoning, and said: "It is highly likely that he is still in Li Chenxuan's hands."

He did not completely believe what Li Chenxuan had said at the entrance of Minister of War Palace just now.

It was true that he had saved Qu Ling, but whether he had truly disappeared, that was not certain.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, he realized that although his wife was sometimes willful, she was not a person who did not know what was good for her.

Moreover, Li Chenxuan didn't have any enmity with her, and she definitely wouldn't dare to touch her. With her personality, there was a higher possibility that she would stay and recuperate from her injuries.

After all, in this way, not only would she have a place to recuperate, she would also be able to avoid him.

From the fact that she had fainted on the side of the road and was "picked up" by Li Chenxuan, it could be seen that he had run out himself.

Wasn't it because she was afraid that he would find her again and then use the Gu Faction against her that she forced herself to run out of the mansion?

Since the imperial guards had intervened, the manor and houses could no longer be searched. He also did not intend to continue searching.

At the moment, as long as someone was secretly watching Li Chenxuan, they would definitely be able to find her location!

On the other side, when Murong Yan found out about Qu Ling's disappearance, he couldn't care about recuperating from his injuries, so he ignored Jiang Huo and Ah Xin's persuasion and went out to look for him.

Jiang Huo and Ah Xin were also worried for Qu Ling's safety, so they followed along and aimlessly searched around.

The only person left to manage the South Wind House was Jin Yi.

Just as she was about to return to her room to change out of her clothes that had been drenched by the tea.

As soon as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him, he suddenly felt pain all over his body.

She had her acupoints pierced.

The man walked in front of her, and when she saw who he was, fear filled her eyes.
