Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

In the study, Cui Qiyan stopped writing. The person in the painting was smiling sweetly, which made him dare not look at it any more. Every time he looked at it, his heart ached.

"Ji Bai." He raised his head and called.

"Hurry up--"

Ji Bai took the tray from Meng Dong who had just arrived with the food, opened the door and went in.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some food. You should eat some, otherwise you will not have the strength to continue looking for someone else?"

Cui Qiyan, who was frowning when he came in, relaxed when he heard this and said, "Put it down first."

"Hey." Ji Bai thought of many words of persuasion outside, but now there is no use for them.

He put the tray on the edge of the desk in surprise, took back his hand and asked, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Cui Qiyan handed the painting to him, "Find someone to copy it and post it. If anyone can provide clues, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver."

Ji Bai unfolded it and saw that it was a portrait of Yun Ling. The painting was so lifelike that it looked exactly like the real person. This shows the care of the person who painted it. When he heard the following words, he couldn't help but be speechless, "Is the silver reward given by the crown prince too much? There must be many people providing false clues for the money."

"As long as someone provides it, we can tell the truth by ourselves. In order to find her as soon as possible, what does this little money mean?"

Ji Bai didn't say much anymore. The prince was in love with Yunling and hoped she would be safe.

In fact, Yunling had been missing for so many days, and those who were looking for her had tacitly understood that if nothing had happened to her, they would have found a way to come back long ago. But no one dared to say this to the prince, who probably wouldn't give up easily if he couldn't see anyone.

"Your Majesty, please eat something first, otherwise you will get cold." Ji Bai changed the subject.

Cui Qiyan looked at the food on the table without any appetite.

But he had to force himself to eat it. He picked up a small bowl of shredded chicken porridge on the tray and ate a few bites of it.

Ji Bai was stunned. In the dozen years he had been with the prince, he had never seen him eat in such a hurry.

"Take it away." Cui Qiyan put down the empty bowl.

"Your Majesty, how can you only eat this? You can take two more bites..."

"Stop blabbering and get down to business." Cui Qiyan interrupted him and strode out the door.

Ji Bai quickly followed up with a tray.

"Brother Yan——"

As soon as Cui Qiyan stepped out of the room, he heard Qin Fangsui's voice and turned around to see Bitao leading her over.

"Your Majesty," Bitao bowed and explained, "I wanted to invite Miss Qin to sit in the hall for a while. Miss Qin learned that you were in the study, so she wanted to come here and wait for you."

Qin Fangsui smiled and said, "Brother Yan, don't be surprised. It was the old lady who asked me to come here. I know you have many things to do, so I will leave after saying a few words."

At this time, Ji Bai also came out and handed the tray to Meng Dong. In a hurry, he opened the painting in his hand.

Qin Fangsui's eyes paused on the painting for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "I just heard about Yun Ling from the old lady. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Brother Yan, don't worry, good people have their own destiny." Xiang, Yunling will be fine."

"Thank you." Cui Qiyan responded concisely. He didn't want to waste time on small talk.

"Brother Yan, don't be too anxious. You should also pay attention to rest. If you need manpower, I can ask the people in the mansion to follow you."

"No need to bother. If Miss Qin has nothing else to do, please forgive me for the inconvenience of staying here for a long time." Cui Qiyan directly issued an expulsion order.

"Then I won't disturb Brother Yan." Qin Fangsui acted very reasonable.

“碧

Peach, for Miss Qin. "

After Cui Qiyan finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard first.

Looking at his eager figure, a crack finally appeared on Qin Fangsui's face.

Is Yunling that important to him? Although he was traveling with her on the same journey, he asked his maid to see her off and refused to give her even such a small amount of time.

"Miss Qin, please come this way."

Bitao's voice pulled her back.

Qin Fangsui nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

Why does she care about this? He will never see Yunling anyway. The remaining decades of his life will be hers.

Ji Bai hired more than a dozen painters to make copies overnight, and before dawn the next day, he led people to post missing persons notices in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Cui Qiyan did not go to the palace yesterday for no reason. The emperor ordered the internal officials to summon Dingguo Gongfu, so he had to go today.

At dawn, news spread quickly that Duke Dingguo's government spent a lot of money to find the missing maid.

Cui Qiyan met Jiang Ting in the palace.

Jiang Ting ran over from afar and grabbed him, looking up and down with a surprised look on his face, as if he didn't recognize him.

"When I came here, I saw a missing person notice on the street. I know the person on it. She is your maid. You posted the things, right? You are also the one looking for her?"

"It's me," Cui Qiyan answered frankly, not forgetting to say, "If you have any clues, please tell me, and I will also give you money."

Jiang Ting gritted his teeth, "I think you are really crazy. Do I need your money?!"

Cui Qiyan didn't answer anymore, turned around and continued walking to the main hall.

Jiang Ting caught up with him and happened to catch a glimpse of his purse, which seemed to have never left his body in the past few months. No matter how incompatible with the clothes he was wearing, he always wore it.

"Did she make this?" Jiang Ting pointed to her purse.

, "Did you fall in love with that maid?"

"Yunling." Cui Qiyan suddenly said coldly.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ting was confused.

"Her name is Yunling."

Jiang Ting almost spat out his blood, "I know her name is Yunling, and I want to find out what's going on? You are making such a big show of looking for a maid all over the city, and at this juncture, you are not afraid of others interfering with you. One?"

"Whatever." Cui Qiyan said nonchalantly.

"You, you -" Jiang Tingzhi shook his head, "Now that the Holy Emperor has re-employed you, you shouldn't be so impulsive. That maid... Yunling, is that important? Is it worth it for you to disregard your own reputation and future?"

"She's worth it." Cui Qiyan didn't hesitate at all. Everything else can be earned back, but not her.

Jiang Ting was stunned for a while, then clicked his tongue and said, "I thought you would never have love as a child in this life, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with someone more easily than anyone else."

"But have you ever thought about it, she has been missing for so many days, even if she escapes, she will definitely not be unscathed. What if..." Jiang Ting paused, "I mean what if, she Her appearance is outstanding, if someone..."

Cui Qiyan suddenly stopped and looked at him with murderous eyes.

Jiang Ting said quickly: "Not necessarily, I just thought of the worst."

In fact, this is very possible.

The joints of Cui Qiyan's clenched fists turned white. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "As long as she can come back, nothing matters."

As they entered the palace, a carriage drove away from the palace gate.

Lu Siheng leaned in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. He had been dealing with various matters since the day the rebels entered Beijing.

Only then can I finally take a breath.

The noisy sound on the street woke him up. He opened his eyes and lifted the curtain, only to see a group of people on three levels outside talking about something around the notice board.

He casually glanced at the list and couldn't take his eyes away immediately.
