"Your Majesty has such a bad memory. Didn't I come to Fengming Palace just to ask you for someone? Why is it that you are questioning me now?" Xiao Zhan responded in a cold voice. His powerful aura made it almost impossible for the Queen to breathe.

"Princess Gong is missing?" Emperor Beiling understood what Xiao Zhan meant. He glanced at the Queen and saw her nod slightly. Then he immediately ordered, "Come here, seal off Yujing City and send someone to look for her. Today, even if you have to turn Yujing City upside down, you must find Princess Gong for me."

That night, the city of Yujing was brightly lit, and the streets and alleys were full of searching soldiers. They knocked on doors from house to house to inquire about the whereabouts of Princess Gong.

In a deserted yard in the south of the city, Mo Xue sat on Jun Li's desk, legs crossed, swinging her feet leisurely.

"This is a big deal. The whole city is sealed off and they are searching for people. I think it won't be long before they find their way here. What are you going to do?"

Jun Li stood in front of the window, rubbing the tiger talisman in his hand with his right thumb.

He looked back at Jiang Xue, who was still lying on the bed, and the smile on his face deepened: "It took a lot of effort to get her out, so of course we can't send her back."

"Have you given the key to the Wan family vault to the Queen?" When he and Su Ming were making the deal, they had already agreed on the terms: he would help Su Ming get the key to the Wan family vault, which symbolized wealth, and Su Ming would help him solve all his troubles in Beiling.

Therefore, no matter how much trouble those Beiling soldiers outside cause, this deserted yard will never become their search target.

"Ah, you gave it to her. I just can't understand it. Isn't it just a small ornament? It's not something priceless, but the Su family values ​​it so much." Mo Xue has lived for most of her life and has seen all kinds of treasures. To her, the key is nothing more than an ordinary one.

It is incredible that such a powerful and noble family would attach so much importance to a key.

"That golden key is not just a small gadget, it is the key to unlock the Wan family's treasures. Why do you think the Fang family, which owns countless treasures, only gave their daughter such a seemingly insignificant golden key on her twelfth birthday? Behind this key is the control of the Wan family's huge industry! That wealth is enough to buy several Beiling countries."

He used to wonder why Emperor Beiling would try to win over a wealthy merchant family, but later he realized that all he wanted was the Wan family's wealth that was as rich as a country.

Only then did Mo Xue realize that the small key actually contained such great value.

No wonder Su Ming agreed to all their conditions as soon as he heard it was the golden key.

Who wouldn't want to have that kind of financial resources?

"Now that the person is in our hands, what should we do next?" Even if the people outside will not come in to search, this woman is not an easy person to deal with. When she wakes up, won't she find a way to escape?

Besides, Xiao Zhan is such a smart man. What should I do if he comes to my house?

Jun Li smiled without saying anything. He picked up the scissors on the table and came to Jiang Xue. He cut off two strands of her hair, took off the turquoise bracelet on her wrist, and handed it to the secret guard at the door: "Take this to Prince Gong's Mansion."

Then he brought a letter and stamped Jiang Xue's seal on the envelope.

He put one half of the tiger talisman into an envelope and handed it to another secret guard: "Take this letter to Qian Kingdom and give it to a general named Mo Tian. Tell him that heavy rain is coming and iron clouds are surging."

"Your Highness, someone at the door said that they have something to give to Your Highness." Qing Feng knocked on the closed door of the study and said.

Xiao Zhan stood in front of the desk, feeling uneasy.

Xiaochun is now imprisoned in the Inner Court, there are many suspicions about the cause of Wan Qiaoer's death, and Xiaoxue's whereabouts are unknown. These things weigh on his heart like a mountain.

In addition, Zhou was sent to the Inner Court, and the Zhou family kept pressuring him to come forward to rescue her. The already complicated situation became even more chaotic, and Xiao Zhan felt anxious.

He didn't pay any attention to Qing Feng's report. He just said, "Come in and put your things down."

He didn't even turn around.

At this time, Madam Wei happened to pass by here. When she saw the turquoise bracelet in Qingfeng's hand, her eyes lit up: "What a beautiful turquoise bracelet. Where did Guard Qingfeng get it? Can I take a look?"

Having said that, she reached out to take it without waiting for Qing Feng to react.

With a "bang", the door opened and Xiao Zhan stood at the door with a menacing look on his face. Madam Wei was so frightened that her outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Xiao Zhan looked down and saw Qing Feng holding two tied strands of black hair and the bracelet he gave to Jiang Xue at the Lantern Festival.

His heart tightened, and he snatched the things from Qing Feng's hand: "Where is the person who delivered the things?"

He was asking about the person who delivered the item.

Qing Feng naturally understood what he meant and shook his head: "That person left after delivering the things. He was very fast. It can be seen that he is a martial artist."

"Which direction did he go?" Since the person ran, he should know the direction.

"To the south of the city." Qing Feng said, "He also asked me to bring a message to His Highness."

Having said that, he paused and looked at Madam Wei behind Xiao Zhan.

"You step back first."

Under Xiao Zhan's order, Mrs. Wei reluctantly retreated. As she left, her eyes were still fixed on the string of turquoise in his hand.

"Go ahead." After Madam Wei was completely out of sight, Xiao Zhan signaled Qing Feng to speak.

"It's the wasteland south of the city. No one will wait for you if you're too late." Qing Feng then said what the man had told him.

In the darkness, Jiang Xue kept running, and scenes of her past life flashed by her side like a kaleidoscope.

She saw how attached she was to Jun Li at that time, saw Liuli and Minglang snuggling happily in her arms, saw her master teaching her attentively on Changle Mountain, and her parents and brothers who loved and cared for her.

It was a beautiful dream, warm and desirable. There, she loved her husband, had two adored children, and a master whom she always respected and worshipped. Everything was so beautiful, like a paradise on earth.

However, such a fairyland was broken in an instant. Liuli suddenly fell to the ground in shock, with a sharp sword stuck in her body. Warm blood sprayed all over her and a lot of it splashed on her face.

The innocent smile just now froze on his face and gradually disappeared. Then his breathing stopped, and he died with his eyes wide open.

Despair and pain descended from the sky. She rushed over crying and hugged Liuli's body, and truly felt her body temperature gradually fade away and turn into a cold corpse.

She must die.

An ice-cold voice drilled into her ears, ruthless and cruel, causing great torment to Jiang Xue's already painful heart.

"Cough." A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of the unconscious Jiang Xue's mouth. Jun Li was shocked and frowned. He immediately asked Mo Xue to stop what he was doing.

A bright red, slender bloodworm crawled out of Jiang Xue's ear and squirmed back into the gourd that Mo Xue carried with him.
