"What?" Jiang Ling thought she had heard wrong.

"I don't believe it either, but the people around Miss Huang won't lie to me about it. Whether it's true or not, I have to go and see."

"I'll go with you." Jiang Ling couldn't just ignore An An's accident.

That cute little dumpling would grab his leg and call him pretty brother, and would give them his favorite snacks...

Jiang Lingtong said to the people who served beside him: "Go and tell Shi Mian that His Highness Jiu and I have something to do and we need to leave first. We will make up for the missed appointment this time."

"Yes."

"Let's take a carriage." It was cold outside, even if the Ninth Prince was anxious, he couldn't let Jiang Ling suffer from the cold.

"I am fine."

The Ninth Prince smiled with difficulty: "I am like this now, and I can't ride a horse, in case something happens..."

"Bah, bah, that's not a good thing to say," Jiang Ling interrupted, "Then let's go there in a carriage."

The two got into the carriage, and there was no one else around, so Jiang Ling asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. Sister Huang only said that An An was gone, and no more news came."

"Have you sent someone to look for it? Well, why did he disappear?"

The driver was the guard of the Eastern Palace. At Jiang Ling's request, the carriage was very fast, and it stopped in front of a teahouse not long after.

Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince got off the carriage, without saying much, they went directly to the private room where Princess Shuhui was.

Before going in, Jiang Ling thought of something, and said to the guards beside her, "Send a message to Your Highness that the Ninth Prince and I are no longer in the Zhang family. If Your Highness comes to look for me, come here."

After finishing speaking, go in with the Ninth Prince.

Princess Shuhui stood by the window with her back to them. There were several maids kneeling at her feet. When she heard the movement, she turned around.

"The Queen."

Princess Shuhui had already calmed down, and ordered the maid to pour tea for the two of them.

"Why are you here?"

"We're worried about An'an. Let's take a look at the situation. Have you found anyone?"

Princess Shuhui was silent.

There is no sign of An An here. In fact, there is no need to ask. They also know that most of them have not been found. Asking is just a last look.

"It's okay, sister Huang, don't worry, under the emperor's feet, no one can hurt An An."

"Why is An An missing?" The An An in Jiang Ling's memory, although a little lively and active, is not a disobedient child, and she doesn't want to run around.

"I brought An An to the banquet, and An An was attracted by jugglers on the way. I wanted to stay and have a look. I wanted to watch it for a while without wasting time, so I let the nanny carry him down. After a while, people will be happy." Gone."

"There were a lot of people in that place. I sent people to look for it. I only found the nurse who was killed by one blow in the alley. An'an was nowhere to be seen."

If the wet nurse didn't die, Princess Shuhui wouldn't be so anxious. If the wet nurse was killed, she would be more worried about whether those people would harm An An. She didn't even dare to think about whether An An would have been killed.

The son-in-law hurried over after hearing the news, and Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple officials came with him.

It is related to the blood of the royal family, and they, who are courtiers, must not dare to delay.

"Princess, don't worry, I will find him as soon as possible."

"Excuse me, my lords."

The son-in-law hugged Princess Shuhui's shoulders, silently comforting her.

Princess Shuhui fell on him like a loser: "If something happens to An'an, I really don't know what to do..."

Princess Shuhui has always been strong. Never has the son-in-law seen such a fragile side of her, and he put more strength into his arms: "An'an will be fine, don't scare yourself."

In order not to cause panic, and in order not to startle the snake, the officers and soldiers who were looking for people all disguised themselves. They pretended to be ordinary people and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

The waiting process is always long, not to mention, it involves An An's safety.

Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince waited with Princess Shuhui and his wife. The room was very quiet. At this time, they didn't even have the interest to chat.

Footsteps came from outside the door, Jiang Ling moved her ears, got up and went to open the door.

"Your Highness?"

The man in luxurious black clothes standing outside the door is the prince.

Xiao Chengyun led Jiang Ling in, and his arrival broke the deathly silence in the room.

"Gu has heard about it. Gu has sent people to seal the gates of the city, and also sent people to look outside the city. If they don't go out of the city and hide in the capital, they will always be found."

"Thank you, Prince." Princess Shuhui saluted.

"An An calls Gu Gu 'uncle', Gu will not ignore him."

City gate.

A man and a woman in plain clothes mixed with the crowd with a sleeping child in their arms, planning to leave the city.

"Why are there so many people today?" the man wondered.

The woman holding the child looked around vigilantly: "I don't know, after we get out of the city gate, hand over the child, and get a reward, which is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while."

The two of them were tense, keeping their heads down all the time so as not to be noticed.

They are used to this kind of thing and seem very skilled.

More and more people gathered at the gate of the city, and the man faintly realized that something was wrong: "I'll go and see what's going on in front."

Passing through the crowd, before he got close to the city gate, the man saw the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurried back.

Because he was too eager, he accidentally stepped on someone and was grabbed by his collar. He was worried about attracting officers and soldiers, so he had to humbly apologize.

He also lost the only silver taels left on his body.

"What's going on?" The woman asked worriedly when she saw that he came back in a mess.

"The situation ahead is not right, let's go first." Before he could explain, the man took the woman's arm and left.

The woman opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but knowing that it was not the time to ask these questions, she closed her mouth and followed the man's strength and walked back.

In the crowd, two men dressed as ordinary people looked at each other and followed quietly.

A couple with a child in their arms entered the alley.

"Who?" The man turned his head alertly.

No one saw anything.

The woman panicked and pushed the man's arm: "What's the matter?"

"There are a large number of officers and soldiers at the gate of the city. I suspect that they are looking for this child. We must hand over the child quickly. If he is discovered, his life may be lost."

"What is the origin of this child?" The woman tightly held the child's hand.

The child in her arms was wrapped in a large cloak, and the face could not be seen clearly.

The winter in Beijing is very cold. Normal couples take their children for a walk outside. Worried that the children will catch cold, they will wrap the children in cloaks, small quilts and other shelters.

A woman holding a child in this way will not arouse suspicion.

"How do I know? Looking at this outfit, it should be a child of a rich family. Such a child is the most popular, and it will definitely sell for a good price."

The two didn't find anything wrong and continued to move forward.

"We may not be able to leave the city now, we have to find a place to hide."

"What if the child wakes up halfway?" the woman whispered.

"Add more medicine when you wake up." The man said impatiently.

The woman hesitated: "This medicine is powerful, if it affects the mind..."

"The kindness of a woman," the man spat, "he wakes up, and we are the ones who suffer. Is it important for him or us?"

The two of them walked around the small alley with many twists and turns, and came to an inconspicuous house. The man searched around outside, but found nothing wrong, and brought the woman into the house.

It was quiet outside the house, and after a long time, two figures came out from the darkness.

One of them made a gesture, the other nodded and disappeared into the alley.

The time was getting later and later, the sun was setting, and there was no news. Princess Shuhui could no longer maintain a calm expression.

The longer it drags on, the more dangerous An An will be.

Jiang Ling was also very worried, and subconsciously picked Xiao Chengyun's palm, Xiao Shengyun looked down and held his hand.

The Ninth Prince stood by the window, at this moment, he became much calmer.

In the silence where a needle could be heard, the sound of footsteps coming from outside the house was particularly noticeable.

The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the door, followed by the sound of begging to see you.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a commoner walked in, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, my subordinates have found traces that seem to be the young master."

"Where are they?" Princess Shuhui couldn't help standing up when she heard that her son might be there.

"The young man was wrapped in a cloak, so he couldn't see his face clearly. The subordinates couldn't be sure that it was the young man, but the two people with the young man acted suspiciously. When the subordinate found them, they were planning to leave the city. The guards were heavily guarded, so they turned back."

"Whether it is or not, bring them over and talk about it."

At this time, the eldest princess will not give up any possibility, if it is not for An An, she is willing to compensate the other party.

"You take a group of people and bring them here intact." Xiao Shengyun said.

"Yes!"

It is always a good thing to have clues. The frozen atmosphere in the room was loosened. The Ninth Prince rubbed his arms and comforted Princess Shuhui: "Sister Huang, don't worry, An'an should be fine."

Princess Shuhui nodded: "Thank you for waiting with me for so long, let's eat something to cushion our stomachs first."

Not to mention that Jiang Ling didn't feel it yet, but as soon as she said it, she felt that she was already very hungry. It was already past the meal time. Just now everyone was worried about An An, and no one was in the mood to eat.

Princess Shuhui was worried about her son and couldn't eat, but she couldn't let the prince and others go hungry with her, so she hurriedly ordered people to go down to prepare meals.

They are now in the princess' mansion, the mansion has already prepared delicious food, the atmosphere was chilled just now, no one dared to disturb, after the princess spoke, the kitchen quickly served meals.

Jiang Ling wasn't in the mood to taste the delicious food, so she put down her chopsticks after simply filling her stomach.

So are others.

After a hasty meal, the person who had just come to report came back.

"Where is the person you brought back?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. When this subordinate led people there, no one was found in the house, only a secret passage was found. This subordinate has already ordered people to go down to look for it."

"A secret passage again?"

The first time Jiang Ling heard this word, he thought of Ukishi Sect, and he looked at Xiao Chengyun.

The man looked serious, thinking about it.

In the secret passage, the woman grabbed the man's sleeve nervously: "I never knew there was a secret passage here."

"I didn't know it before, but I'm afraid we will be discovered this time. Let's find a place to hide and wait for the limelight to pass."

"What about this child?"

"There's a place for him here."

Soon, the woman knew what the man meant.

Although it is a secret passage, but the underground space is very large, and from time to time you can meet people in ragged clothes with numb expressions. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the man stopped.

There are many cell-like compartments here, some of which lock children of various ages. The man puts the child in the woman's arms into one of the compartments, and then leads the woman forward.

An An was woken up by shaking. He opened his eyes and saw the dark and cramped environment, and the dirty young man sitting in front of him. Just as he was about to make a sound, his mouth was about to be covered.

"Shh, keep quiet if you want to live."
