The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Ye Buhuo, who was standing aside, saw Ye Chuji lowering his head and pursing his lips, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Lanfeng took a deep breath and said in a calm voice:

"Investigate thoroughly! Make sure to find out the mastermind!"

After retiring from court, Xiao Liqiu hurried to the Dali Temple.

Mining is a very complicated matter, so he needs to prepare early.

As soon as I walked out of the palace gate and was about to get on the carriage, I found that the carriage of Prince An's mansion was right next to me.

Xiao Liqiu then turned a corner, walked to the carriage, saluted and said:

"I've met the prince."

Ye Buhuo pulled open the small curtain, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.

"I have another person in my hand who may be able to help Lord Xiao."

Xiao Liqiu looked up suddenly when he heard that, somewhat surprised. He was worried that he couldn't find a breakthrough in this case.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ye Buhuo was about to lower the curtain when Xiao Liqiu suddenly thought of something and said tentatively:

"When I was in Longcheng, I was helped by a nobleman. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank him. Does Your Majesty have any news about this?"

"Lord Xiao is dedicated to the people. It is only natural that you receive assistance in handling cases. You don't have to take it to heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Liqiu understood and bowed deeply to Ye Buhuo.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ye Buhuo returned to the palace in a carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage, he heard the butler coming up to report:

"Your Majesty, Dean Wu is here and is waiting for you at the mansion."

Wu Feng?

When Ye Buhuo was in the academy, he had received help from Wu Feng once, so Ye Buhuo promised that he owed him a favor and that he could come to him if he encountered any difficulties in the future.

I guess my sudden visit today was because of this matter.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Buhuo stepped into the hall, he saw Wu Feng with an anxious look on his face.

"My Lord, please save my daughter!"

A few days ago, Wu Yuwen suddenly wanted to go to a temple outside the city to pray. Wu Feng did not stop her, but only told her to be careful on the way.

As a result, he has not returned until now.

After Ye Buhuo heard what he said, he instructed Ye Yi:

"Arrange some people to go to that temple and search it carefully."

Ye Yi agreed and was about to do it when he was stopped by Wu Feng.

Wu Feng looked at Ye Buhuo and asked:

"It's better if fewer people know about this. Please go there in person."

It is inevitable that a woman who is missing and wandering around will attract gossip. Ye Buhuo understands Wu Feng's meaning, but he does not want to be distracted by others as his marriage is imminent.

"Don't worry, Dean Wu. My people will keep this a secret and will not let this matter get out."

Wu Feng did not feel relieved after hearing this assurance. Instead, he became more anxious. He gritted his teeth and simply knelt on the ground.

"I beg Your Majesty to come here in person, considering that I have helped you before!"

Ye Buhuo frowned. He didn't expect Wu Feng to be so determined that he should take action personally, and even go so far as to use personal connections to pressure him.

After a while, he finally agreed.

In order to resolve the matter as soon as possible, Ye Buhuo immediately followed Wu Feng out of the city.

Originally he was thinking of bringing a few people with him so that it would be quick to find people, but Wu Feng insisted that too many people would make too many noises, so Ye Buhuo had no choice but to just take Ye Yi with him and leave.

Before leaving, he also carefully instructed the butler:

"The arrangements for the wedding banquet must be thorough and there can be no mistakes."

Ye Buhuo thought about it again and realized that it would only take a cup of tea to ride a fast horse to the temple outside the city, and even if the time needed to find someone was included, it would only take a day.

"I will be back within a day. In the meantime, I will leave it to you."

The butler saw the three people off, and then watched attentively as the servants in the mansion arranged the decorations.

Ye Buhuo and the other two left the city and went straight to the temple.

Along the way, Wu Feng looked left and right, up and down, probably looking for any trace of Wu Yuwen.

Suddenly he found something in the bushes and quickly ran over to pick up what was inside.

Wu Feng looked at the handkerchief he picked up and said to Ye Buhuo excitedly:

"Yuwen's handkerchief! Your Majesty, this is Yuwen's handkerchief! Yuwen must be nearby!"

Ye Buhuo looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and saw a delicate word "Wen" embroidered in the corner.

There is a small path in the direction of the grass, which is not in the same direction as the temple on the mountain.

Wu Feng held the handkerchief tightly and said anxiously:

"Yu Wen would never walk on such a remote road. She must have encountered some danger! Your Majesty, please go and take a look!"

The path was difficult to walk on, and Wu Feng had to rely on Ye Yi for support. There were woods on both sides of the road, and the light became dimmer as they walked deeper along the path.

Seeing that the view inside was unclear, Wu Feng quietly raised his eyes to glance at Ye Buhuo and Ye Yi, put his right hand into his left sleeve, fumbling around, not knowing what he was doing.

After walking for a while, the view ahead gradually became wider.

Then the sunlight poured into the woods, and Ye Buhuo could see the outside clearly. When he saw it, he frowned.

There is a cliff ahead.

After walking out of the woods, Wu Feng ran to the cliff, looking greatly shocked.

He turned around and looked at Ye Buhuo in panic:

"Your Majesty, Yuwen must have fallen! What should I do? My daughter!"

Wu Feng was so grief-stricken that he was about to collapse. Ye Buhuo reached out to support him. Wu Feng took the opportunity to rub his right hand on Ye Buhuo's shoulder.

Ye Buhuo frowned and said:

"The king will send someone to bring her back."

Wu Feng shook his head and said anxiously:

"We can't delay any longer! Yuwen only brought a maid with her. How can she survive in the wilderness? Your Majesty, please go down and take a look!"

Who knows what is under the cliff? How can Ye Yi let his own prince take the risk? He quickly said:

"Your Majesty, I will go down and investigate right away!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng let go of Ye Buhuo's hand, staggered back a few steps to Ye Yi's side, trembling as if he would fall to the ground at any time.

Ye Yi had no choice but to reach out and hold him up.

Wu Feng held Ye Yi tightly, crying and sobbing about how miserable his daughter was, and begged Ye Buhuo to go down and take a look.

In order to return as soon as possible, Ye Buhuo did not waste any time.

But going down the cliff to look for someone is not a big deal.

Before going down the cliff, he still asked Ye Yi to call someone, in case he couldn't find the source of the search, he would need help. He also had to go back to prepare for the wedding, and couldn't waste time here.

"Send a signal for someone to come here to pick you up."

The cliff was not high. Ye Buhuo jumped down and then found a few leverage points on the cliff and easily reached the bottom of the cliff.

The bottom of the cliff was narrow and empty, the mountain dew was thick and the soil was soft and wet. Ye Buhuo saw the footprints on the ground at a glance.

The footprints were relatively small and were obviously those of two women.

Ye Buhuo followed the footprints and the valley became narrower. Finally, he found a cave at the end of the valley.

There were two women in the cave. One, dressed as a maid, was throwing firewood into the fire, while the other was sitting on a stone bed, frowning and with a blank look in her eyes, looking a little anxious.
