After standing there and waiting for a while, Yun Liu still couldn't see Yun Xu and his mother. He became anxious. "Although Xu'er is active, she always knows the importance of things. There is no way she won't do what I tell her to do."
"Not long ago, I saw A Niang talking with Madam Li, so I thought of asking Xu'er to ask A Niang to come over and deal with Princess Yan, but..."
At this point, Yun Liu's eyes turned red and his voice was choked with sobs, "How come Xu'er and A'niang are both missing now? What should I do?"
It’s all her fault. She shouldn’t have let Xuer go to find A Niang. She should have gone there herself!
Concubine Xiao understood and quickly tried to comfort her cousin Yun Liu, "Cousin Liu, don't worry. I'll go talk to the old lady of Duke Ningguo and see if she can look for it in the mansion first. If not, we'll go find His Highness and ask him to look for someone in secret."
Concubine Xiao knew that His Highness was accompanied by secret guards, so it would be most appropriate to let those secret guards look for Yun Xu and the others.
After all, they were in someone else's house at the time, and Concubine Xiao could not take people to search for Yunxu and the others in the Ningguo Mansion without permission.
Hearing this, Yun Liu held back his tears and nodded: "Okay, let's do as my cousin's wife said."
Concubine Xiao: "Don't worry too much, cousin Xu is always smart, nothing will happen to her."
As she was talking, Concubine Xiao was thinking about taking Yun Liu to find the old lady of Duke Ningguo first. Suddenly, she stopped and told Qing Cong who had been following behind her: "Go find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and quietly tell him that cousin Yun Xu has gone missing and ask him to help look for her."
"Remember, don't let anyone else hear it. Only Your Highness and Sister Lu know about it."
Qingcong nodded and replied: "Master, rest assured, I will be careful."
"That's good, go ahead."
Concubine Xiao felt that she should tell His Highness about this matter sooner rather than later to avoid delays.
Qingcong turned around and walked quickly towards where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Liangyuan were.
At this time, the old lady of Ningguo was sitting in the pavilion.
Aunt You was still standing by her side, and the two seemed to be discussing something. There were several paintings on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.
"Old lady."
Seeing that there was no one around the pavilion, Concubine Xiao and Yun Liu walked over.
The old lady of the Duke of Ningguo stopped discussing with Aunt You and raised her eyes slightly. She looked at Concubine Xiao with some surprise and said with a smile, "Madam Concubine, come over and sit down too?"
Concubine Xiao glanced at Aunt You, took a step forward, and whispered, "There is something I want to talk to the old lady about."
When saying this, Concubine Xiao's expression was quite solemn.
Yun Liu, who was standing aside, had red eyes again. The old lady of Duke Ningguo had a bad feeling in her heart. She waved at Aunt You, signaling her to stand further away.
Aunt You understood and stood outside the pavilion.
Concubine Xiao lowered her voice and said, "Madam, your Highness's cousin and aunt have gone to nowhere. Please send someone to look for them in the mansion. I'm afraid they got lost in the mansion and won't be able to come back for a while."
"Is this really the case?"
The old lady of Ningguo was shocked.
The Ningguo Mansion was indeed large, but the Ningguo Lady had already made arrangements. All the female relatives who were invited to the mansion could only stay in the garden to enjoy the flowers. If anyone wanted to leave the garden, the maids in the mansion would be responsible for leading them. The old lady was afraid that something might go wrong if the hospitality was not good enough.
Unexpectedly, even though she had made all the arrangements, something still went wrong.
"Don't worry, Concubine. I'll ask Aunt You to find someone right away."
Concubine Xiao said solemnly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam."
The old lady of Duke Ningguo waved to Aunt You, and Aunt You hurried over. After listening to the old lady's instructions, she left.
"Madam Concubine and Miss Yun, please sit down first. Don't worry, we will find them soon."
The old lady of Ningguogong comforted her.
But Concubine Xiao had no way to feel at ease. What's more, the Princess of Yan had just left not long ago. Who knew if she was the one who had plotted against them behind their backs?
She still remembered that the Princess of Yan originally wanted to capture her and Sister Lu...
Concubine Xiao sighed inwardly. No matter how worried she was, she had to pretend to be calm and composed on the surface.
I was afraid that other people would see something strange and know that cousin Yunxu was missing, which would damage cousin Yunxu's reputation.
Yun Liu was also trying hard not to cry, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces by her.
One thing after another, the old lady of Duke Ningguo felt a severe headache. She shouldn't have held the flower-viewing banquet today. Look at what happened!
The old lady of Ningguo sighed.
It will take a while for Aunt You to go look for someone, and they won’t be able to get news so quickly. Now they can only wait.
……
At this moment, Xie Xi and Lu Xiaoxiao both heard Qingcong's report.
Qingcong said anxiously, "Your Highness, I will go back to the Concubine first. I hope Your Highness can find Miss Yunxu as soon as possible."
After finishing her business, she had to quickly return to her master's side and keep an eye on him, lest she lose track of him if she wasn't paying attention.
Xie Xi: "I know. Tell your master that I will find cousin Yunxu."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Qingcong responded and turned away.
Looking at Qingcong's quickly departing figure, Lu Xiaoxiao felt mixed emotions. She tilted her eyes and looked at Xie Xi with regret, "If I'm not mistaken, cousin Yunxu has warded off disaster for me."
[I thought the Princess of Yan would stop when she couldn't cause me any trouble, but I didn't expect that the people she sent out would actually target my cousin Yunxu! ]
"Xiaoxiao, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you."
Xie Xi rubbed her head and said gently, "I'll ask Seventeen and Eighteen to go find my cousin right away."
"Your Highness, I want to go too. I just found out where my cousin Yunxu was taken."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Qingcong talking just now, she had already checked the system, which showed that cousin Yunxu was taken away by someone arranged by the Princess of Yan State.
Just because there were tea stains on Cousin Yunxu's body, those people mistook Cousin Yunxu for her.
The Princess of Yan State really deserves to die!
Lu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth secretly and was immediately very angry.
Xie Xi frowned slightly: "Do you really know where it is?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and came to his senses: "I know, I'll take you there."
"But there are quite a few people on the other side. I wonder if Your Highness could bring some more guards with him?"
Lu Xiaoxiao is worried about His Highness' safety.
Xie Xi: "Don't worry, let's leave the Duke's Mansion first. I have a lot of secret guards with me."
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Should I tell my sister, the concubine, and my cousin Yun Liu first?"
Xie Xi: "Don't tell me yet, so as not to alert the enemy."
If there was no one in the Duke's Mansion secretly covering for her, it would be impossible for Cousin Yunxu to be taken away so quietly.
Let Xiao Shuyi and cousin Yun Liu continue to look for someone in the mansion.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt that what His Highness said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go."
Xie Xi responded in a low voice and told Guard Mu Qing to tell the Ning family's eldest master that they had something to do and had to leave first.
Mu Qing cupped his hands and said, "I'll go right away."
Without alerting anyone else, Xie Xi quietly took Lu Xiaoxiao away from the Ningguo Mansion.
Several hidden guards hurriedly followed.
The secret guards heard clearly what their master and Lu Liangyuan had just said, and they all knew that this time their master wanted them to find someone.
"Your Highness, come this way."
Lu Xiaoxiao was responsible for giving directions.
Cousin Yunxu had been taken out of the Ningguo Mansion a long time ago and taken to a very remote place. If it weren't for the map guidance in the system, Lu Xiaoxiao really would not have been able to find the way.
Xie Xi held Lu Xiaoxiao in his arms, and kept performing Qinggong, flying in the direction she pointed.
The secret guards were chasing after them.
Ever since the cold poison in their master's body disappeared, their master's martial arts has become more and more powerful. Even if they have learned the same light skills, if they don't try their best, they will not be able to catch up with the master.
As the road ahead became more and more remote, one of the houses was already in a state of disrepair, with half of the wall collapsed and dust everywhere.
When they were still a few steps away from the mansion, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly called out to stop, "Your Highness, Cousin Yunxu is imprisoned here."
For fear of being heard by the secret guards behind, Lu Xiaoxiao spoke these words almost close to Xie Xi's ear, which immediately caused him to feel itchy, as if it was trying to get into his heart.
The tips of Xie Xi's ears were red, but Lu Xiaoxiao didn't notice it. All she wanted to do was rescue her cousin Yun Xu as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's go in and check the situation first."
Xie Xi endured the burning sensation on his face, calmed himself down, found a severely collapsed corner, flew in with Lu Xiaoxiao, and landed safely on the ground.
The secret guards hurriedly followed.
Fearing that there might be an ambush in the house, Xie Xi gave Lu Xiaoxiao a look, signaling her not to speak or make any noise.
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, she knew what to do.
Xie Xi carefully observed where they were at the moment. This should be the backyard, but he didn't know where cousin Yunxu would be imprisoned.
The backyard was in a very dilapidated state, with no activity and collapsed walls everywhere, which could be seen almost at a glance.
Cousin Yunxu is not here.
"Go out and see."
Xie Xi held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and walked slowly towards the backyard.
As soon as the two walked out, they heard some noise.
"Someone."
Lu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said silently.
Xie Xi looked solemn, and he quickly took Lu Xiaoxiao to hide behind a rockery nearby.
"The master has given instructions. Let us play with that woman first, and then throw her to the gate of the prince's mansion. Tie Niu, the last task is left to you. How about that?"
"There are so many guards outside the Prince's Mansion. I don't dare to go. How about you go?"
"I'm not saying anything, Tieniu, you are so timid, how can you accomplish anything great?"
"You take care of the big things, and I'll take care of the small things. Isn't that great?"
"What's the good thing about it? Unless you don't fight with me, I'll give the small one to me and the other one to you?"
"That's okay! It's all up to you!"
Tie Niu rubbed his hands and said impatiently: "Goudan, let's go back and get the job done."
Hearing what he said, Goudan also became angry, "Let's go, let's go, I don't know if they have woken up yet, I can't wait any longer..."
Tieniu and Goudan quickened their pace and hurried forward.
Lu Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind the rockery, had an unpleasant look on her face. She clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "Why didn't Your Highness just knock them out? What if they really wanted to..."
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't say the following words.
After hearing those filthy words just now, she was so angry that her eyes turned red and tears were welling up in her eyes but couldn't fall.
Xie Xi felt distressed when he saw this, but he had other concerns, so he said, "Don't worry, Seventeen and Eighteen have already caught up. Let's go and see how many people are in the courtyard first, so as not to be careless and fall into an ambush."
Although Xie Xi trusted Lu Xiaoxiao's information, the Princess of Yan State had already cooperated with his fourth brother. No one knew whether what happened today was a trap set up by the two of them.
At this time, Lu Xiaoxiao was by his side. In order to ensure her safety, Xie Xi did not dare to be careless.
"it is good."
Lu Xiaoxiao managed to calm herself down. She knew that His Highness acted cautiously and she shouldn't have questioned His Highness's decision just now.
She just thought about it wrongly.
Lu Xiaoxiao's thoughts were almost all written on her face. Xie Xi saw it at a glance. He raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek. "Don't worry, cousin Yunxu will be fine."
Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and sighed in her heart.
If something happened to cousin Yunxu, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
With Seventeen and Eighteen keeping an eye on the two men, Xie Xi felt relieved for the time being. He took Lu Xiaoxiao with him and checked almost the entire mansion. He found that there were eight thugs guarding the place where the people were imprisoned.
As for other places in the house, they were still empty and unguarded.
There are only eight thugs, nothing to be afraid of.
On the other side, Seventeen and Eighteen followed the two men quietly without attracting their attention.
At the same time, Seventeen and Eighteen discovered that the two people they had been following all the way had no martial arts skills at all.
This way, it would be easier for them to rescue people.
Seventeen and Eighteen glanced at each other quickly, and they both made up their minds that as soon as they saw Miss Yun, they would attack at the same time.
When they approached a relatively clean yard, Tieniu and Goudan stopped.
Tie Niu and Goudan had long been familiar with the eight thugs guarding outside the yard.
Goudan took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to one of the thugs, saying proudly, "Here, this is what my master gave you. Divide it all."
Only the master could be so generous. He was willing to give a hundred taels of silver just for a few thugs guarding the gate!
It turned out to be a hundred taels of silver!
The thug who received the banknote was delighted and quickly stuffed it into his arms. He smiled and said to the other thugs, "Work first, and we'll divide the money later."
"Row."
The other seven thugs nodded.
Seeing this, Goudan stopped talking to them. He looked up at the room in front of him and smiled slyly: "You didn't touch the girl who was locked in there, did you?"
