"Your Majesty, the palace servants from Chenghuan Palace came to report that Princess Jixiang has not returned yet." Eunuch Lin bowed and said respectfully.

Emperor Qing looked up and said in surprise: "You haven't come back yet?"

Today is the anniversary of her mother's death. He specially allowed her to go out of the palace to pay homage to her mother. He also told her to come back early because of the incident involving the Princess of Xiyue Kingdom.

He didn't think she was playful. This daughter followed the rules and never caused trouble to others. She just didn't want to marry someone he didn't like, and he didn't force her.

He didn't have much affection for this daughter. The appearance of this daughter was completely unexpected. She didn't hesitate to drug him in order to avenge her mother. There was a little barrier in his heart.

He gave her everything a princess should enjoy, but he was unwilling to get close to her. She was also very well-behaved and never bothered him.

"Xiao Linzi, let Chenghuan Palace know the whereabouts of the princess and go check it out with Ye Cheng." Emperor Qing ordered with a normal expression.

Ye Cheng received the order and took another Jixiang's personal maid from Chenghuan Hall to the grave of Jixiang's mother.

In previous years, she had gone with the princess, but today she was not feeling well and did not go with the princess.

"Master Ye, the cemetery of the princess's mother is on the mountain." The maid pointed to the mountain with a worried look on her face.

Ye Cheng's expression remained normal, "You guys will go up the mountain with me, and you guys will stay at the bottom."

From a distance, I saw two people lying on the ground dripping with blood.

"Qing'er, Guard Li..." The maid stepped forward tremblingly.

Ye Cheng stepped forward and checked their breathing, "They are dead."

"Look around to see if there is any princess." Ye Cheng ordered.

The princess was not found until nightfall, so Ye Cheng had to order everyone to go back to the palace, take the bodies of Li Kang and Qing'er back, and hand them over to Dali Temple.

"Your Majesty, the princess's maid and bodyguard were killed by swords. I sent people to search on the mountain, but the princess was not found. It seems that she was taken away by gangsters."

Emperor Qing was still reviewing memorials in the imperial study. When he heard Ye Cheng's report, he frowned, "Who is so bold?"

"There is no one on the mountain, and there is nothing to check." Ye Cheng said with a solemn expression.

"Ask the people from Jingzhao Mansion to immediately send people to look for the princess. Ye Cheng, you also send people to look for her." Emperor Qing said with a gloomy expression.

Ye Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think we should search for him in such a big way."

"Why?" Emperor Qing asked.

"Perhaps the person who kidnapped the princess didn't know her identity. If he wanted to kill the princess, why take her away? No matter what the reason is, the princess is probably safe now. If he searches for her in a big way and exposes her identity, The gangster might go ahead and kill the princess."

After listening to Ye Cheng's suggestion, Emperor Qing stroked his beard and thought it was very reasonable. "Then send someone to investigate secretly. Just say that you are looking for the Princess of Xiyue Kingdom. Ye Cheng, you will be responsible for this matter."

"I obey the order." Ye Cheng clasped his fists and left with a melancholy look on his face. He was very busy tonight and could not accompany Wan'er anymore.

Xiao Zixi spent the whole day playing with her children, and when she was tired, she went to bed. Nan Yuanchen hugged his beloved wife with a smile on his face.

That's fine, Xi'er will only be responsible for playing from now on, and he will solve everything.

Looking at his sweet wife's sleeping face, Nan Yuanchen couldn't help but gently kissed Xiao Zixi's forehead.
