Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Chapter 27 Xiao Jingxuan rushed back overnight

Zuiyue Tower.

Gu Junheng and Qianxun were listening to reports from their subordinates. Several groups of people who had gone out to gather information had no news about Qin Ruhuan.

"Chunhua and the young lady disappeared together, and the people who were protecting them were stabbed at close range. Master Gu, who do you think might have been the stabber?"

Gu Junheng frowned slightly, tapping the table with his fingers. "Logically speaking, Chunhua is the most likely person! But she is the closest person to the young lady!"

"Is it possible that Chunhua was threatened and used by someone when she was kidnapped?" Qianxun frowned.

Gu Junheng nodded, "This is the most reasonable explanation at the moment! I will go to the Third Prince's mansion tonight, and he is the most suspicious at the moment!"

"Let me go with you. You are not familiar with Kyoto, and you are not as familiar with the escape route as I am!"

"You can't do that. You have to stay outside. If something happens to you, who will arrange someone to find Sister Qin?" Gu Junheng shook his head.

Qianxun was helpless, "Okay, I'll send someone to meet you outside, you must be careful, and retreat immediately if there is any danger!"

Inside Qingzhou City.

Xiao Jingxuan was sent to provide disaster relief to the victims. The Qingzhou prefect embezzled the relief funds and refugees rioted in the city!

Xiao Jingxuan had been here for three days, and some clues had been uncovered about the magistrate's corruption. The relief grain and funds had arrived, and were being distributed in the city over the next few days.

Seeing the people suffering from the disaster, Xiao Jingxuan felt powerless for the first time. Although the capital was so big, there were still many places where people could not get enough food or warm clothes, and there were so many corrupt officials who embezzled the people's life-saving money!

After a busy day, he returned to the residence arranged by the prefect, had a simple meal, and then began to write memorials.

At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the window, and then a man ran in!

"Report to the prince, there is news from Kyoto! Miss Qin Ruhuan is missing!"

Xiao Jingxuan suddenly stopped writing and stood up!

"Who are you talking about? Qin Ruhuan?"

"Yes, Qin Ruhuan is missing! Three days ago, she went to a farm in the suburbs and was attacked on the way. All twenty secret guards died, and a maid also died. Only a maid named Chunhua disappeared with her!"

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were full of shock!

"Have you sent anyone to look for it? Do you have any clues as to who did it?"

"Go back to the palace, the left prime minister's mansion, the Huo mansion, and several other forces are searching with all their might, but it seems there is still no progress!"

Xiao Jingxuan felt his blood boiling and his head buzzing: Ruhuan, please don't get into any trouble. You promised to wait for me to go back and propose to you!

He suddenly felt as if his heart was being torn apart by a knife. He had never felt so desperate before. He had just decided that he liked someone and wanted to marry her, but something like this happened! How could he accept it?

"Fei Ye! Fei Ye!"

Fei Ye rushed into the house immediately after hearing the shouting!

"I will leave all the disaster relief and investigation matters to you! I want to return to Kyoto immediately!"

"Your Majesty, what's the urgent matter? You are here to provide disaster relief under the order of the Emperor. I'm afraid you can't leave! It would be bad if someone reports you!"

"No need to talk nonsense! I have to leave today! Ruhuan has been kidnapped and disappeared!" Xiao Jingxuan's eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling slightly!

Fei Ye didn't say much after hearing this, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Xiao Jingxuan turned around, rushed out, jumped on his horse, and rode away!

The Third Prince's Mansion.

Gu Junheng climbed over a courtyard wall while it was dark!

Dressed in night clothes and with his face covered with a black cloth, he avoided the guards and began to investigate.

They searched room by room, but the Third Prince's mansion was too big and they didn't gain much after an hour.

At this time, I saw a lot of people serving outside the house in front: it seems that this is the residence of the third prince!

He moved closer and saw four maids outside the door. He flew over and pressed a few of their acupuncture points! He gently pushed the door open and saw a man having a meal with a woman!

Gu Junheng did not go in, but took a maid away, untied the hole, and put a dagger on the maid's neck, "Answer honestly!"

The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and nodded vigorously!

"Is there a secret room or dungeon in the mansion? Has a woman been kidnapped in the past few days?"

The maid shook her head vigorously, "No, really not!" The maid was so scared that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking.

Gu Junheng struck the maid on the back of her neck with his palm and she fainted.

Gu Junheng flew to the roof, gently lifted a few tiles, and leaned over to eavesdrop.

Inside the house, the Third Prince and his concubine were having dinner. "Your Highness, try this fish. I cooked it myself!"

The Third Prince picked up the fish and put it in his mouth, nodding his head repeatedly, "It tastes good. I didn't expect my beloved concubine to have such cooking skills!"

Concubine Li smiled shyly, "As long as Your Highness likes it!" I heard that the daughter of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion has disappeared recently! Has Your Highness heard about it?"

The Third Prince drank a sip of plum wine and said, "I have heard about it! It's a good thing that Qin Ruhuan disappeared!"

The Third Prince put down his wine glass and continued, "Prince Jing has a crush on her. If the Prince Jing's Mansion and the Left Prime Minister's Mansion form a marriage alliance, it will definitely be our biggest obstacle! Prince Jing is from Sixth Brother's faction. If the Left Prime Minister is also won over, we will definitely be in a passive position!"

Li smiled and poured wine for Xiao Qian, "So, someone kidnapped Miss Qin, so we should get rid of the harm for you!"

"Of course not. Otherwise, I would have also taken action. King Jing must not marry into the Zuo Xiang Mansion. If the Zuo Xiang cannot be used by me, then you can't blame me!"

Gu Junheng's face turned pale when he heard this: It turns out that the capital of Dasheng Kingdom is so complicated, and so many people want to harm Sister Ruhuan!

After hearing the information he wanted to know, Gu Junheng flew down and prepared to leave.

When he landed, he suddenly found a white dog in the corner, staring at him.

Gu Junheng paused and looked at the distance from the wall. It was a bit far.

He looked down and saw a stone on the ground, so he bent down to pick it up.

The white dog suddenly rushed over, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!" In an instant all the guards in the mansion rushed over here.

Gu Junheng didn't care about the white dog anymore. He kicked it, ran to the wall, jumped up and jumped out of the wall.

The guards kept rushing out of the Third Prince's Mansion and chasing in the direction where Gu Junheng fled.

Fortunately, the people arranged by Qianxun were familiar with every road in Kyoto, and finally they got rid of the third prince's guards after taking many turns.

An Ran returned to Zui Yue Tower, and Chihiro was already waiting for him.

"How was it? Did you gain anything?" Chihiro asked impatiently.

Gu Junheng gulped down two cups of tea, "I'm so tired! Damn, you chased me like a thief!"

He took a breath and continued, "There is no clue about Ruhuan, but it is certain that she is not in the Third Prince's mansion!"

He told Chihiro everything he saw and heard in the Third Prince's Mansion.

Qianxun frowned and clenched her fists. So many people wanted to harm the young lady! I didn't even know!

Therefore, Qianxun readjusted her plan to find someone, and this time she focused on Princess Xiao Ya. She admired King Jing and had just had a conflict with Qin Ruhuan. With her extreme personality, she was entirely likely to do such a thing!
