The royal enclosure was in chaos at the moment, and all the guards were sent by Feng Changxing to look for Manda.

After all, Manda has a special status. If there is a mistake in Daqing, the battle that has just stopped may start again.

Princess Qingyang was also missing.

Concubine Xian said that during the meal, Princess Qingyang suddenly felt sick to her stomach, so she asked the maid to take her to the toilet.

Later, the maid waited outside the account for a long time, and she was surprised when she saw that Princess Qingyang had not come out. After going in to check, she found that there was no one in the account.

A man and a woman disappeared for no reason, and everyone began to speculate on the bad side irresistibly.

Seeing that Chu Dongge hadn't returned, Xiaotang anxiously wandered around in place, Chu Yan also felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and wanted to find their traces himself, but Feng Changxing who stood beside him seemed to know After confirming his plan, he reminded: "King Guangling had better not act rashly, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Chu Yan kept a cold face, said nothing, and stopped in place as he was about to leave.

It is true that I can't leave. If I just want to go wrong, because of my own impulsiveness, it ruins the plan instead, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss.

"Your Highness!" A guard in the distance hurried over.

Before Feng Changxing could speak, Wu Ersha asked anxiously, "Did you find it?"

"I found this." The guard brought up a small pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with pink azaleas, and Chu Yan recognized at a glance that these shoes were the pair worn by Chu Dongge this morning.

"Where did you find it?" He stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

The guard replied: "Go back to the prince, it's near the stables."

Chu Yan hummed, reached out and took the embroidered shoe, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

After all, it belongs to the daughter's family, so it's better for his own brother to hold it.

He strode towards the stables, and everyone followed his footsteps and began to move.

The night seems to have opened its bloody mouth, swallowing all the noisy and chaotic sounds. Occasionally, a few migratory birds can be heard singing southward.

Chu Yan took advantage of the dim light of the surrounding torches to look at the vast stable.

"Search." Feng Changxing said behind him, "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death. Even if this stable is turned upside down, I still have to find King Zuoxian and Princess Qingyang."

Chu Yan's face was slightly cold when he heard this, and secretly hated himself for being careless in the end.

If he had known earlier, he should have found a way to get Chu Dongge to leave the paddock ahead of time.

Originally, the third prince had gone to the temple where the virtuous concubine worshiped the Buddha today, and said that the abbot inside would accept Chu Dongge as a lay disciple, and as long as he stayed in the temple for three years, he would be able to avoid the marriage. Kind of trouble.

Even if Chu Yan wants to deceive himself and others, but now that the situation is in front of him, he has to admit that I am afraid that Chu Dongge...

While thinking about it, a timid female voice suddenly sounded not far away.

"Second brother..."

Her voice was low, but now the people around her were subconsciously breathing lightly, and when it fell on the ear, it was like a thunderclap on the ground, causing everyone to raise their heads.

Chu Yan looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Chu Dongge stepping on the grass with one bare foot, looking at them helplessly.

Her hair was in a disheveled bun, her fair cheeks were covered with feces from horses or mud from her feet, and the beautiful dress on her body was also covered with plaster, and she looked very embarrassed.

Chu Yan strode over, holding back his anger, and said coldly, "Where have you been?"

Seeing that his second brother's expression was too gloomy, Xu Shi was so frightened that Chu Dongge shivered, biting his lower lip and not daring to speak.

Even if he gets angry again, Chu Yan also understands that getting angry now is useless except to increase his worries. He took off his robe, put it tightly on Chu Dongge's trembling shoulders, and turned his back to everyone, He said something calmly.

"...you shut your mouth tightly, and you can't say a word."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ersha hurried forward and said eagerly: "Did the princess see my elder brother?!"

Chu Dongge, who is very lively on weekdays, was terribly silent at this time. She tightly clutched Chu Yan's sleeves, as if she had grasped the last straw in her body, so hard that her knuckles began to turn white. .

"Talk!" Seeing that she didn't speak, Ursa couldn't help asking angrily, "Where is my elder brother?!"

Chu Dongge's shoulders shook when he was yelled at, and he hid behind Chu Yan in fear, seeking shelter.

Chu Yan stared at Ursa coldly, and said with a gloomy face: "Princess, no one can prove that Zuo Xianwang disappeared with his sister. Clear reputation."

Wu Ersha sneered, "The two of them disappeared at the dinner party. Your sister came back, but my elder brother disappeared. Now you say that I insulted your sister's innocence, what a joke!"

She turned her head, looked at the envoy of the Huns standing behind, and said sharply: "If you don't find my eldest brother today, you will wait for our Huns to send troops!"

"Where."

A mosquito-like sound sounded around the legs.

Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat, realizing that it was from Chu Dongge's mouth, he stared fiercely at the distraught Chu Dongge below with his dark eyes.

Chu Dongge didn't know when tears were streaming down her face, she raised her head, choked with sobs and said in a low voice: "Second brother, I know you are good for me."

"But... that person can still be saved."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Ersha rushed over with a ferocious expression, clutching Chu Dongge's shoulder tightly, "Where is the man?!"

Chu Dongge sniffled, pointed to a stable not far behind her, and whispered, "It's right there."

Ursa glimpsed there seemed to be a pool of blood, she suddenly became dizzy, staggered on the spot, and ran over hurriedly, seeing something, she burst into a scream that resounded through the night.

"what!!!"

The Huns envoys sensed that something was wrong, and rushed towards the place Chu Dongge said.

Not long after, Manda was carried out with blood on his head.

A beaded hairpin was inserted into his right eye, and there was also a wound on the back of his head, which seemed to be injured by someone with a blunt instrument, and blood was bubbling.

"Where's the imperial doctor?" Chu Yan was the first to calm down. He looked around and shouted angrily, "Get out and treat King Zuo Xian!"

The accompanying imperial physician came out, raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his head, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Manda stop the bleeding.

Feng Changxing glanced at Chu Yan intriguingly. He didn't know what he thought of. A smile flashed across the depths of his dark pupils. He lowered his eyes to look at the panicked Chu Dongge, and asked gently, "Can the princess tell us , what happened?"

With red eyes, Wu Ersha, who was calling Manda's name, suddenly raised her head, strode up to Feng Changxing, knelt down on one knee, and saluted: "My eldest brother is seriously injured now, please Your Highness please replace Wu Ersha Sha is the master, don't favor the murderer, and punish him severely."

She deliberately emphasized the word murderer, and her different eyes fell on the pale-faced Chu Dongge at the same time.

"..."

The atmosphere of the arrow on the string spread overhead, depressing like a mountain on everyone's shoulders.

Chu Dongge had never experienced such a scene before, tears kept rolling out of his eyes in fright.

Chu Yan knelt down, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and said lightly, "Don't cry, I'm here."

"Say it all, without missing a word."

Hearing his comfort, Chu Dongge gradually gained confidence in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a crisp voice: "When I was about to go to the toilet, someone covered my mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and then I fell sleepy and closed my eyes. I was going to sleep for a while, and when I woke up later, I found that this person was taking off my skirt."

"My aunt once said that a man must not be allowed to take off his daughter's dress, so I took advantage of his unpreparedness and sneaked out."

Feng Changxing had a kind face, and continued to ask persuasively, "And then?"

"The injury on that person's body was caused by the princess?"

"Your Highness, why bother to accuse my sister so quickly." Chu Yan interrupted coldly, "King Zuoxian is a man, and it would be difficult for an ordinary woman to hurt him. My sister is still young, and she is still three years away from Jiji. Having practiced martial arts, she doesn't even know how to hold a sword, how can she hurt King Zuo Xian, who has been marching and fighting on the battlefield all year round!"

Seeing his refutation, Feng Changxing smiled even more, and said with ease: "King Guangling don't need to deny it in a hurry."

"Let's listen to Princess Qingyang's explanation first."

After finishing speaking, Feng Changxing looked at Chu Dongge with a smile, and asked in a gentle voice: "Princess, tell me, is the hairpin stuck in that person's eyes yours?"

Chu Yan's eyes were stern, he understood that this person made it clear that he wanted Chu Dongge to bear the blame alone.

One can make Ursa and the others shut up.

The second is to take the opportunity to get rid of Chu Dongge.

Because he already knew that the person that night was Chu Dongge who happened to be out of the house that day.

Chu Dongge raised his head in panic, looked at Chu Yan's tense jaw, and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that she was silent, Feng Changxing was not in a hurry, and said in a calm manner: "The princess knows how this person was injured?"

He didn't directly ask if it was Manda who was injured by Chu Dongge, because the little girl probably lied and denied it because she was afraid.So he just made insinuations from the side, setting traps for the young girl everywhere, as long as she was a little careless, she would fall into the trap, and Feng Changxing could take this opportunity to convict her.

A hint of ridicule flashed in Chu Yan's eyes, such a girl who didn't know much about the world could make the prince of a country spend so much effort.

He became more and more curious about what was hidden in Mr. Akiyama's mansion.

"I..." Chu Dongge looked at Manda who was lying there hesitantly, just about to speak.

Chu Yan suddenly said quietly: "Men manage foreign affairs, women govern internal affairs. Men don't stay in their private rooms during the day without reason, and women don't peep through the middle door without reason. What's the next sentence?"

Chu Dongge's face was blank for a moment, and then her eyes lit up, as if she had a backbone, she knelt down in front of Feng Changxing, "Return to Your Highness, Yingying doesn't know."

This is the "Sushui Jiayi" that is often recited by women in the capital, but the Chu family has been generals for generations, and his father and king have never had a mistress, and Chu Yan is a man, so he doesn't know much about it, so he never gave it to Chu. Dongge had hired a nun who taught ethics, so she can be said to have a lot of questions about the books on women's virtues and precepts... I don't know.

Although she is not very smart on weekdays, she can always guess what his second brother is thinking in an instant. Aunt Qiu often laughs and says that it is the two brothers and sisters who have a good understanding, but now it is precisely this "heart connection" who has sung for Chu Dong passed this crucial hurdle.

After speaking, Ursa became excited first, and she said furiously: "How could you not know!"

"The only one missing with him tonight is you."

The tears in Chu Dongge's apricot eyes stopped, her round face was calm and composed, and no one could find any abnormalities on her face, "Qingyang really doesn't know."

Feng Changxing's expression gradually became gloomy, and he looked meaningfully at the expressionless Chu Yan, knowing that his words must have given Chu Dongge some hint, but although it sounded strange, he couldn't find out the obvious mistakes.

He looked at Chu Dongge domineeringly, and his tone became cold, "Then why did you appear here together?"

Chu Dongge whispered: "Returning to Your Highness, they didn't appear together."

"Qingyang hid in the stable. There was no movement behind him. When he came out, he was lying there. Qingyang didn't know how he was injured."

"..."

Feng Changxing's eyes were gloomy, and he knew that he would not be able to ask this question now.

As long as Chu Dongge doesn't let go, then he has no way to convict him. Although it is true that only Chu Dongge and Zuo Xianwang disappeared together, it still sounds a little bit like a little girl can hurt the tall and stalwart Zuo Xianwang. Unbelievable, not very convincing.

He looked at the unconscious Manda who was lying on the ground not far away, and said coldly: "Send Zuo Xianwang back to the post house, and send the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to come and treat him."

After finishing the order, Feng Changxing looked at Chu Dongge who was kneeling on the ground again, and said uncertainly: "During Zuo Xianwang's coma, the princess can only be wronged and stay in the palace for a while."

Chu Dongge was stunned for a moment, and then she became uneasy again. She looked at Chu Yan's expression hesitantly.

Chu Yan squatted down silently, put the embroidered shoe in his hand on Chu Dongge, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay."

"...Wait for me to pick you up soon."
