The person who came was Aunt Yu, but her eyes were red and her face was not very good. When she saw Mingyi in front of Deji Hall, she didn't even have time to hold an umbrella, so she hurriedly came up to her in the rain and hurriedly knelt down. Fuli, as soon as he stood up, said quickly, "May I ask Princess Yun'an, have you ever met my princess?"
The smile on Mingyi's face faded, she stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Yu, what happened?"
Aunt Jade met her eyes, her nose suddenly felt sore, and her already red eye circles were stained with a little moisture. She also lowered her voice and replied, "Yesterday, the princess went to Qianzhong Temple to fulfill her wish. Who knew it would be late at night?" It was raining, and His Highness was worried, so he went to see someone, but who knew... When he arrived at Qianzhong Temple and asked about it, he found out that the princess had never been there. "
Although he had expected it, Mingyi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, "Can someone be sent to look for it along the way?"
"Yes." Aunt Yu nodded, tears about to fall.
Naturally, it was not pursed her lips and walked quickly.
"Princess, please slow down, umbrella!" Fanshuang quickly followed with an umbrella.
slow?Can't slow down! Mingyi got on Grandma Yu's carriage and sped towards I arrived at the South City Gate, I happened to meet the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion. In the carriage were the eldest princess and An Qian, both of whom looked very unhappy.
Mingyi followed and got on the carriage, and the carriage kept speeding towards the outside of the city gate.
The eldest princess looked tense, her complexion was pale, and her eyebrows were furrowed. Mingyi could tell at a glance that she was afraid that she had another he moved over without saying a word, stretched out his hand to massage the acupuncture points on the eldest princess's head. The eldest princess froze at first, then let her go after a moment.
"It's all my fault, I should have gone with her." An Qian was silent for a while, then suddenly blamed herself with red eyes.
Mingyi didn't speak, but the hand pressing the eldest princess's forehead was stiff and she didn't say anything, but she was the same as An Qian, she also regretted and blamed herself.
The eldest princess opened her eyes and patted Mingyi's hand gently in a reassuring manner, "I can't blame you. It's just a trip to Qianzhong Temple. She is used to going there often, so there may not be anything wrong with us. Don't scare yourself first." The last two sentences were lowered in a low voice, and I don't know if they were meant for them or to convince myself.
The few people were speechless for a moment, and could only hear the sound of horse hooves and the rumble of wheels.
"If there is no news yet, why don't you ask Your Majesty to inform His Majesty and use the Jinwu Guards?" After a while, Mingyi said her first words after getting on the carriage in a hoarse voice.
"No!" An Qian and the eldest princess looked at her inexplicably at the same time, and An Qian said categorically, "If the Jinwu Guards are alerted, Gillian's disappearance will no longer be concealed."
The implication was not stated, but Mingyi understood it all too because of understanding, the thick bitterness in the throat your good reputation is damaged, even someone as noble as Li Fengjiao will not be able to escape criticism, and it will be difficult to find a good , Mingyi, who has experienced hardships in life, even if she was stabbed in the back, accused of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and serving others with sex, did not care about these things, but she could not convince the eldest princess and An Qian who cared about Li Fengjiao. People don't care it were her place, he would be able to live well and not have to fact, if she hadn't been in that situation when she came back to life, she might not have agreed to marry Xue Lin.
But after all, this is her idea and cannot be forced on if she thinks that reputation and marriage are all bullshit compared to the safety of her life.
But the fact is that she is Mingyi now, just Li Fengjiao's friend, not Li Fengjiao herself. She cannot make decisions for her, and she has no position to stop the eldest princess and others.
"I know that you are doing it for Gillian's good, but it's just not that far. We are rushing out of the city because there is news. We might see Gillian soon." She was disappointed, the eldest princess They all saw it and gently patted her hand to comfort her.
Mingyi nodded lightly. She also hoped that Li Fengjiao would be okay, but strangely, she felt very uneasy.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the sound of horse hoofbeats was faintly heard from the front, "Your Highness, you are the bodyguard of our house!"
The eldest princess hurriedly leaned forward, opened the curtain and looked out. The rain was still falling. The official road was muddy and not easy to walk. However, the man and the horse were running very fast. In such a hurry, naturally there was news. .There is indeed news, but it is not good news.
When she saw the corpses of Li Fengjiao's guards and personal maid Yuqiao being thrown into the grass, the eldest princess's legs weakened and she almost collapsed on the ground. Mingyi quickly held her firmly, but looking at the corpses, Her face also turned pale instantly.
How could this be so? "There is no trace of the carriage or the princess. It rained heavily last night and there are no ruts around. I'm afraid it happened before the heavy rain..." The chief guard of the eldest princess's house held the steel knife in his hand and whispered back in front of the eldest princess.
"These guards are all carefully selected by His Highness. If they were ordinary bandits, I'm afraid they wouldn't be like this." Mingyi bit her lower lip and managed to calm down.
"This is the outskirts of the capital. Under the emperor's feet, I have never heard of such rampant bandits." An Qian also nodded, "It's just that there have been disasters everywhere in the past few days. If there are refugees from other places, ..." An Qian's face changed slightly when she thought of this, "After I return, I will secretly find His Highness the Crown Prince and inform him of this matter. If he is an outsider, he may not recognize the carriage of the Princess's mansion."
The eldest princess was completely helpless at this time and could only nod her head in panic.
Mingyi was also confused, but how could an ordinary refugee really defeat the well-trained guards of the eldest princess's mansion?
On the other side, Aunt Yu had already asked people to bury the bodies of the guards and Yu Qiao and bring them back to the city first.
"Wait!" Mingyi glanced at Yuqiao's tightly pulled fist, and saw a little bit of fabric exposed, her face changed slightly, and after shouting, the person leaned over without hesitation, and directly took the thing out of Yuqiao Pulled out his hand.
It was a sachet, with a dark blue background, and flowing cloud patterns embroidered on it with silver thread. The webbing on it spread out, as if it had been pulled off by Yu Qiao.
An Qian's face suddenly turned uglier when she saw it. This sachet was in the style of a man. Not only that, the fabric and workmanship were definitely not something that an ordinary refugee could use.
"Come here, go check quietly..." An Qian waved over a guard and ordered softly.
"Let someone go and see where Mr. Chu is." Mingyi didn't say anything since she got the sachet. She just looked at the sachet with a strange expression, but then she suddenly spoke.
Both the eldest princess and An Qian looked at her in shock.
Mingyi held the sachet and looked back at them calmly, her eyes as clear as a stream shining brightly as if soaked in rainwater.
There was a sudden silence all around, and only the rustling of rain could be heard. After a moment, the eldest princess nodded, "Let me go and check in private to see where Mr. Chu is. If we find it, we will talk back first."
"Yes!" The captain of the guard responded respectfully, turning around and leaving with the people.
The eldest princess turned to look at Mingyi, without saying anything, and turned to let Aunt Yu help her get into the carriage.
An Qian frowned, and handed the sachet in her hand with her chin, "What's going on?"
"Didn't you check out Mr. Chu before? He likes the mysterious fragrance the most, which is very similar to this one. And here... I felt something strange when I touched it just now..." Mingyi opened the sachet, and there was a vague smell at the opening. A hidden embroidered word "Chu" can be fact, she naturally didn't touch it, but she had been sleeping with Chu Yanqing for several years. When she smelled the mysterious fragrance, she was sure it was his, because the fragrance was specially made and she had smelled it countless times. , you can easily identify it by just lifting your nose. The word "Chu" is just for proof.
