Raiders of the demon concubine who crossed

Mu Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that the young master Xuan Liang was talking about was as strong as iron, his face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Why didn't you see me?"

"Just now in Aoshuang Courtyard, Young Master asked his subordinates to help him get some books from His Highness's study room. When the subordinates returned, Young Master was not in the courtyard anymore."

Xuan Liang still felt a little regretful in retrospect, the contents of those books were irrelevant, even if they were all in the same study room, it would take a while to find them all—it is estimated that Ru Tie Gongzi deliberately dismissed him.

Mu Chengyuan said: "Have you searched everywhere in the mansion? Where is Puying?"

Xuan Liang said: "I searched all the places I could find. Pu Gonggong and his subordinates searched together, but they couldn't find the young master, so the subordinates had to come here and report to His Highness..."

Xuan Ming had seen Ru Tie escape from the Prince's Mansion with his own eyes, so he interjected, "Could he have escaped again?"

Mu Chengyuan glared at Xuanming, how could it be possible, Ru Tie could leave in a fair manner after one year expires, there is really no need to be stupid and sneak away like a thief.Besides, the snack bar is about to open, and everything is almost ready, so how can they drop the pick without warning?

Mu Chengyuan said: "Let's go to Aoshuang Courtyard first."

Aoshuangyuan still maintained Xuanliang's appearance before he came to find Prince Rui. Mu Chengyuan noticed that the thin quilt on the bed had been unfolded, indicating that Ru Tieben had no intention of going out. The pearl on the bed, Mu Chengyuan was speechless, this money fanatic, is he going to sleep with the pearl? !

However, this also confirmed that this person did not flee purposefully.

Mu Chengyuan thought about it: "Is there something urgent and you went home suddenly?"

Xuan Liang said: "This subordinate also thought about it. But the son's house is quite far away, and he got out of the city gate. It's getting late today, and the city gate has been closed early, so he can't go back. And the guards at the gate of the palace have not seen Until the young master leaves."

Mu Chengyuan said: "Then he should still be in the mansion..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Pu Gonggong scrambled and crawled into Aoshuang Courtyard, shouting, "This old slave remembered something!"

"Today, His Highness is going to Ningxiangyuan, and the old slave ordered the ice basin to be placed in Ningxiangyuan. On the way, he met Mr. Ru Tie, because the ice basins in front of him were all placed in the young master's room. Changed the place, the old slave, the old slave told the truth, the young master seems not very happy."

Mu Chengyuan: "..."

Although Pu Gonggong didn't say it outright, the sad little eyes were obviously accusing, Your Highness, you made the young master unhappy, probably the young master hid on purpose.

If it were someone else, Mu Chengyuan would have really believed it, but if Rutie wanted to compete for favor, he would write his surname upside down!

Mu Chengyuan rubbed his forehead, and said: "Puying, what else did he say to you, don't miss a single word, tell me everything!"

Pu Gonggong thought about it carefully, and said: "Young master didn't say anything else... Oh, he also asked the old slave where the ice cellar is."

icehouse? ?

Mu Chengyuan sighed: "Then you told him?"

"Young Master asked, of course the old slave wants to say, what's the matter?" Pu Gonggong's face suddenly changed drastically: "Could it be, could it be!"

Xuan Liang covered his face, he and Dan Gonggong had searched everywhere, but they didn't go to the ice cellar, who would have thought that Master Ru Tie would be there!

Mu Chengyuan said firmly: "He... loves to eat ice. There is no ice basin, so I went to the ice cellar."

What an embarrassment, you idiot!What kind of anger is hiding, it doesn't exist at all, maybe it feels that the ice cellar is cool, and fell asleep in the ice cellar.

Xuan Liang murmured: "But the ice cellar is airtight, young master, will he..."

what? !

Mu Chengyuan suddenly became angry: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

His Royal Highness Prince Rui didn't know where his own ice cellar was. Pu Gonggong, the live map of the palace, took Prince Rui and Xuan Liang straight to the northernmost corner of the palace.A small piece of green bamboo is planted here, and there is a well surrounded by bamboo. There is an inconspicuous step built on the open space beside the well. You can only see it when you get close. This step leads to the ground. At the end of dozens of steps is The narrow stone gate, looking around, the stone gate is locked by a brass lock.

Pu Gonggong said: "The ice cellar is under here...but it has been locked from the outside, could it be that the young master is not here at all?"

Mu Chengyuan was very anxious, but his life was at stake, so he had to calm down: "Not necessarily. It is also possible that the door outside is locked and he is trapped inside..."

The key is usually kept by the servant in charge of guarding the ice cellar. Pu Gonggong is going to call someone, and Mu Chengyuan can't wait, so he simply said: "Xuan Liang, give the lock to me!"

Xuan Liang drew out his accompanying sword, inserted the point of the sword into the lock and picked it neatly, and the brass lock came loose.Xuan Liang removed the lock and pushed open the heavy stone door.Generally, the cellar is not allowed to enter directly, one has to open it first before entering, but before he can tell, Mu Chengyuan has already raised his leg and barged in, Xuan Liang couldn't stop him, so he had to follow closely.Dandelion took down two candlesticks from the wall beside the stone gate and lit them, and quickly followed behind.

This ice cellar was built underground, and it was old for a long time. It was very air-conditioned, and it was night again, so you couldn't see your fingers.The candlestick in Pu Gonggong's hand lit a circle of dim light, and the field of vision that could be seen was extremely limited. Mu Chengyuan turned around roughly. The place is quite big, and he didn't find anything unusual yet, so he inevitably became anxious.

Although he usually felt that Ru Tie was full of moths and often caused troubles, he was disrespectful to him, and even fooled him with nonsense, but deep down in his heart, he didn't want Ru Tie to be in any danger.

Mu Chengyuan tentatively said, "Xiao Tie, are you there?"

Pu Gonggong and Xuan Liang stopped at the same time, afraid that they would make too much noise, so they covered up the son's voice, but the three of them waited quietly for a while, but there was still no movement.

Mu Chengyuan called again several times.

Even though it was hot summer, Pu Gonggong still felt the chill to his bones, rubbed his arms and whispered: "Your Highness, it's cold here, your health is important, why don't you go back first, and wait for the old slave and Xuan Liang to look for it slowly..."

But Mu Chengyuan said: "Pu Ying, go up and call all the young people in the mansion over, and bring a few more lamps—let them wear more clothes."

"...Hey." Pu Gonggong knew that he was unwilling to leave, and said cleverly: "The old slave brought His Highness's cloak by the way."

"Go!" Mu Chengyuan didn't turn his head.

Dandelion roughly remembered the direction when he came, left behind a lamp, and hurriedly moved the rescuers.The twilight in the ice cellar became dimmer again.

Mu Chengyuan said in a deep voice: "Xuan Liang, from now on, you and me will search together. Remember to touch the wall before you finish."

Xuan Liang nodded, although the stone door was still wide open, the ground was not ventilated for a long time, he was a little worried that Prince Rui would be suffocated if he stayed for a long time, but His Highness's posture might not listen to persuasion, he had to pay attention all the time, in case As soon as His Highness felt unwell, he sent His Highness back outside as soon as possible.

Mu Chengyuan was groping along the wall. He had good hearing, and suddenly heard something rolling over on the ground. He quickly held his breath, and took a candlestick to take a picture. It turned out that a round object appeared out of nowhere. rolled to his feet.Xuan Liang bent down to pick it up and saw that it was a pearl the size of a pigeon egg.

Xuan Liang excitedly said: "Your Highness, this is... the same as the one on the son's bed!"

"Well, he is indeed here."

Mu Chengyuan's hand holding the candlestick trembled, and he walked towards the direction where the pearl rolled without hesitation.

The faint candlelight approached step by step, and the layers of darkness gradually faded away. Mu Chengyuan vaguely saw a large black mass on the ground in the distance—in fact, he couldn't distinguish it at all, but he just felt it strangely. A group of people, and most likely the one he was looking for.

Mu Chengyuan stepped forward holding the candlestick, and finally saw that it was indeed a person, lying motionless on the inside, Mu Chengyuan bent over to touch his face, turned him around, and the candlelight hit the person's face all of a sudden .

"It's son!!"

Xuan Liang was overjoyed, finally found it.

Ru Tie's face turned pale, his eyes were closed tightly, and his body was wrapped in a layer of torn cotton wool. Without saying a word, Mu Chengyuan tore off his coat and put it on him, holding his pulse with one hand.

At this moment, Ru Tie was in a daze, as if he could feel someone coming, but his eyelids were too heavy to lift, and he subconsciously grabbed the sleeve of Prince Rui who was closest to him.

He struggled to open his eyes, glanced at the person in front of him, and struggled to identify: "Your Highness?"

"...Well, it's me."

Still able to speak, Mu Chengyuan breathed a sigh of relief immediately, his hands and feet were cold like iron, and his pulse was tense, it should be frozen, no matter who finds it, it will be fine.

Xuan Liang knelt down and begged Mu Chengyuan to put Ru Tie on his back, so that he could carry him out as soon as possible.

"I'll still come."

Ru Tie passed out again after recognizing Queen Rui, the corner of the clothes in his hand was tightly clenched, Mu Chengyuan pulled it out but did not take it out, and simply let him go.It's just that it's inconvenient to move Ru Tie to Xuan Liang's body, and he has to carry it himself.

This king really owed you in his previous life.

Mu Chengyuan thought silently, and put Ru Tie on his back. While shouting "Your Highness", Pu Gonggong led a large group of people into the ice cellar. Dozens of lanterns instantly illuminated the entire ice cellar. Mu Chengyuan Looking around, the ice in this ice cellar was originally stored in a huge stone jar that had been frozen in winter, and then wrapped with thick cotton wool, stored in the ground that was insulated from light and heat, and then taken out when needed.Right now, the cotton wadding outside several stone jars in the ice cellar has been torn, like a dog chewing on them, and the torn wadding has been worn on Ru Tie's body, probably used to keep warm.

There is an air hole the size of a finger near the place where Ru Tie lies. Mu Chengyuan asked the guards and found out that since the ice cellar was built, there were two front and back doors, and the back door was sealed long ago, leaving an air hole for ventilation. blocked, while the remaining front door is used for passage, and once closed it fits perfectly.Ru Tie somehow found the air hole, he chose to stay in a ventilated place, firstly, it would be easy to be found, and secondly, he would not be suffocated to death.

Ru Tie was sent back to Aoshuang Courtyard, and he woke up not long after. He found himself tightly wrapped and lying on the bed, and Mu Chengyuan was sitting on the bedside and staring at him without blinking. Just brewing two drops of crocodile tears, Mu Chengyuan glared at them, and immediately took them back.

Ru Tie had no choice but to pretend that he didn't remember anything, and said as if nothing had happened: "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Don't pretend to be garlic! Tell me, how did you get trapped in the ice cellar?"

When Mu Chengyuan heard his hoarse voice, he couldn't stop being furious, wishing to drag Ru Tie out of the bed and slap him twice, what on earth was he thinking, he ran into the ice cellar alone, and almost froze to death in it!

The wise and mighty Prince Rui felt that one day he would be pissed to death by that bastard Ru Tie.

Seeing his gloomy face, Ru Tie was afraid of getting hurt, so he flattered him and said, "Your Highness, don't be angry, I'll tell you everything..."
