But I can ask my uncle to bring you another one next time, how about that? "

Baili Yue's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly: "Really? Then you must remember this!"

"Don't worry, I will remember it." Ye Yunzi promised.

After playing for a while, Ye Yunzi took out two newly made clothes and handed them to Baili Yue, "Yue'er, change into new clothes first."

Baili Yue reluctantly put down the music box and changed into a new aqua green dress, looking even more radiant.

"Thank you, Yunzi. I like this dress very much."

"As long as you like it." Ye Yunzi said, and at the same time ordered the servant to dispose of the burnt old clothes.

The servant Yu Shu placed the burnt clothes at the entrance of the mansion, which was a place reserved for people in need of help.

Not long after, a figure quickly appeared, picked up the clothes, and quickly disappeared.

Then, the man found his master and respectfully presented the dress, "Sir, I have confirmed the princess's location. This is the dress she wore."

Kuimuzhu took the clothes, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that Rong Mingxuan has not sent her to the palace yet. Where is she?"

"In the Ye Mansion."

"Ye Mansion?" Kui Muzhu frowned and thought. He did not remember there was such a famous family with the surname Ye in the capital.

The subordinate quickly explained: "That is a not very famous family, and they don't have much power in the capital."

Kui Muzhu was a little surprised. He originally thought that Rong Mingxuan would choose an influential family to shelter the princess, but he didn't expect it to be such an inconspicuous family.

This is really courageous...

Aren't they worried that someone might kidnap the princess? Or do they have absolute confidence in their guards?

"Hmph, those guards he trained are indeed good and more than capable of protecting the princess. But if I take action, they will be left far behind." Kui Muzhu chuckled, a cunning look flashing in his eyes, with a cold smile on his lips.

"Let Fang Er prepare."

His subordinates were stunned at first, and then an expectant expression appeared on their faces, "Sir, are you saying that you want to use that special method?"

"That's right." Kui Muzhu responded briefly, exuding an unsettling aura.

...

The situation in the capital city seems extremely tense today. Officers and soldiers are moving around everywhere, searching every house in a menacing manner.

Rong Mingxuan stood in front of a row of houses, frowning. In the early hours of the morning, he received a secret report that the fourth prince might be hiding here. So he acted quickly and led his troops to surround the place.

The row of houses was dead silent, with the doors tightly closed, making it impossible to guess what was going on inside.

Not long after, Zhang Li rode up on horseback and reported hastily, "Sir, we have deployed all the troops. Don't let even a fly escape! Should we take immediate action to capture the Fourth Prince?"

Rong Mingxuan's eyes remained solemn and he did not give any orders immediately.

Zhang Li was a little anxious when he saw this, and urged again: "Sir, time is running out!"

If the Fourth Prince escapes, the consequences will be disastrous. Although they have set up a tight defense line, it is best to take action as soon as possible for the sake of safety.

"Sir?" Zhang Li asked again.

Rong Mingxuan was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Search these houses and make sure to capture the Fourth Prince alive!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Li responded and waved the red signal flag. Soldiers poured into the courtyard like a tide, breaking the tranquility here.

Rong Mingxuan looked at the busy soldiers, his brows furrowed more and more. He always felt that something was wrong - they had been unable to find the Fourth Prince in the past few days, but suddenly someone provided information in the middle of the night, which was too strange.

Zhang Li noticed Rong Mingxuan's worry and whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, sir. I have made all the arrangements. The Fourth Prince will not be able to escape from our grasp."

However, Rong Mingxuan's heart was still full of doubts, as if some important clue had been missed.

Rong Mingxuan's brows furrowed more and more, and his doubts grew. Was the Fourth Prince really hiding here? He knew that the Fourth Prince was a cautious person, and such a conspicuous place did not suit his style.

"Zhang Li, where is the person who came to report the case in the early morning now?" he asked.

"That person left after reporting the case." Zhang Li replied, seemingly not understanding why the adults suddenly asked about this person.

"Do you remember what that person looks like?" Rong Mingxuan asked.

Zhang Li tried to recall, "I can't remember clearly, I just remember that the man was wearing plain clothes and had a humble attitude, so he should be an ordinary citizen."

Rong Mingxuan's eyes became deeper, and his suspicion deepened. At this time, the officers and soldiers who were searching came back one after another to report: "Sir, there is no one in the house!" "Sir, no one was found here either!" "Sir, the Fourth Prince was not found!"

After hearing these reports, Rong Mingxuan's face became even gloomier, and Zhang Li also looked a little uneasy. "Are you sure you have searched thoroughly?" he asked.

"There is indeed no sign of any human habitation," replied a soldier.

"How is this possible..." Zhang Li muttered in a low voice, because he clearly remembered that the reporter said that there was a group of people with strange behavior living here. They did not go out during the day and only moved quietly at night.

At this moment, another soldier came running over. Zhang Li asked impatiently, "Did you not find it again?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I found this!" As he said that, he presented an emerald green ring with dirt on it in both hands.

"I found it in a mud pit, with only this little bit of green sticking out," the soldier explained.

Before he could finish, Zhang Li dismounted and grabbed the ring. "This is..." He felt that this ring was extraordinary, the jade was warm and smooth, and it was obviously made of precious materials. Only the Fourth Prince would wear such a delicate item!

"Sir!" Zhang Li wiped the ring clean and immediately handed it to Rong Mingxuan.

Rong Mingxuan took the ring and examined it carefully, imagining the Fourth Prince wearing it. "This is something that belongs to the Fourth Prince," he said in a stern tone.

Zhang Li was extremely surprised. "So, the Fourth Prince really came here?"

"But there is no one in the house and there is no place to hide. It seems that the Fourth Prince got the news and evacuated ahead of time." Rong Mingxuan speculated.

Zhang Li felt sorry. If they had arrived earlier, they might have been able to capture the Fourth Prince. Rong Mingxuan said nothing, his eyes fixed on the ring, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.

"Where did you find this ring? Take me to see it." Zhang Li said to the soldier.

"We found it in the front yard!" The soldier pointed in a direction and led Zhang Li to the specific location where the ring was found.

"Everyone, look carefully and see if you can find more clues!" Lord Rong ordered.

"Yes!" the officers and soldiers responded in unison.
