Chapter 306: Li Yuan Not Found

That night, red candles flickered in Ling Yunhe and Gu Yuru's house, and the bridal chamber was filled with joy.

Although Li Mumu and her brothers will also live with them, it doesn’t matter if they spend a few days alone.

Besides, Li Mumu still had some things to deal with in the Duke's Mansion.

The red color of the Gu family is still everywhere in every yard, and this joyful look will not be removed for a while.

Everyone was busy and tired during the day, so they slept soundly at night and didn't even know someone came to the mansion at night.

In fact, Li Mumu woke up in the middle of the night.

How could she really fall asleep when it comes to such a big situation and the life and death of so many people?

There were faint sounds of footsteps coming from the roof. If she didn't have experience fighting zombies and saw enemies everywhere, it would be difficult for her to notice that Rong Fei's men had arrived.

She opened her eyes and looked at the roof. It was just in time for them to come here. They would be left empty-handed.

At dawn, Rong Fei's narrowed eyes opened with the sound of approaching footsteps.

She also didn't sleep a wink all night.

"Have you found it?" Rong Fei's eyes shot out a sharp light.

"Found it..."

"Deal with it?" she asked again.

"without……"

She slapped the carved armrest fiercely, "Does the Gu family watch over things strictly?"

"No... no, my lord, we were mistaken. That person was not Li Yuan, but someone with a similar figure." The man in black said with a trembling voice.

"No?" Rong Fei's sleek red nails left several deep marks on her palm. "Are you sure it wasn't switched?"

"I have searched everywhere."

"What is the Gu family doing?" Rong Fei took a deep breath and waved her hand to let the man in black go away.

"Master, it's almost dawn. You haven't slept all night. You should take a rest." Nanny Cui advised.

Concubine Rong shook her head, a hint of fatigue on her pretty face. "Madame Cui, Li Yuan is a huge threat to me. I can't allow this to happen. You know how terrified I've been all this way. It's been so hard for me."

"I have seen it all. Your Majesty, you are doing this for the Eighth Prince's own good."

"No, if the matter is exposed, I will let it go, but Jinxuan..." Rong Fei did not continue, "This Li Yuan, he is not good at anything, but more of a hindrance than a help. He failed to do what I asked him to do, and now he wants to bite me back."

Concubine Rong did not expect things to turn out like this. It was all because of this battle that not only did the Gu family turn things around, but all her previous plans had to be changed.

"My lady, don't worry. Maybe the Gu family doesn't know about this."

"Since Li Yuan was able to betray the Gu family, he could naturally betray me as well. I thought twice before using someone like him because he was the only one who could be of use at the time and would not implicate me."

Concubine Rong sighed, all sleepiness gone. "If he weren't useless and the Gu family had taken the initiative, Jinxuan wouldn't have returned to the palace at this time. He should have returned after I had cleared all obstacles for him."

"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is intelligent. When he comes back, he can help you," said Nanny Cui.

Concubine Rong shook her head. "I don't want him to get involved in this. I'll take care of all the evil. I'm sending people to continue searching for Li Yuan. Once he's found, we'll deal with him on the spot. We absolutely cannot allow him to see the Emperor."

"I will go and tell them now. You should take a rest. The Emperor said he would come to see you and the princess."

Rong Fei watched the sky brighten. Although she was not at all relaxed, it would not be good for her to be listless when the emperor came.

…

The Duke's Mansion.

Li Mumu had just woken up and asked someone to prepare breakfast when she heard Li Yuan's call.

"Mumu, Mumu, are you outside? Hurry up and give Dad some food. Dad is hungry. Give him something good this time. There was a weird smell yesterday."

Of course it has a strange smell, but that’s what the dog left over, and it still has the dog’s saliva in it.

"Mumu...Mumu, do you hear daddy calling you?"

"Stop shouting! Do you want Rong Fei's people to hear you?" Li Mumu entered the space and stood at the iron gate.

That's right, she put Li Yuan in the space, and no matter how capable Rong Fei was, she would not be able to find him.

"Twilight, you're here. I'm hungry...where's the food?"

"I'll send it to you later." Li Mumu said lightly.

Of course he must die, but not now. He is still useful.

"Where is this place? Why can't I hear any sound? Take me out to see your grandfather and ask him to take me to the palace. I want to expose Concubine Rong's true identity."

Li Mumu did not doubt his words. After going through so much, he should have known how cruel and ruthless Concubine Rong was. If Concubine Rong was willing to spare his life, the emperor would not have issued the decree.

"It's not time yet."

After Li Mumu finished speaking, there was no more sound. Li Yuan shouted twice, but he gave up because he was hungry and thirsty. He saved his energy and waited for Li Mumu to come again.

Li Mumu opened her eyes and saw Xie Xun standing in front of her, with his hand raised as if he was going to hit her on the head.

Fortunately, she came out in time.

Xie Xun felt a little embarrassed by her wide eyes. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and cleared his throat awkwardly, "What are you thinking about? You didn't even notice me approaching?"

He called out a few times, and she squinted her eyes, as if she was asleep.

"Who said that?" Li Mumu retorted, "I just didn't sleep well last night, so I dozed off for a while."

“Those people came last night!”

It seems he knows it too.

In fact, it’s not just them. So many martial artists in the Gu family have discovered it, but everyone is prepared. As long as they don’t take action, they will pretend that they didn’t discover it.

"Where did you hide Li Yuan?" Xie Xun was very curious. If he made a fake one, Concubine Rong would naturally not believe it, but that would not stop her from suspecting the Gu family.

"Keep it a secret." Li Mumu said playfully. At this time, the servants had already brought breakfast.

It was so early, Xie Xun must not have eaten yet, so Li Mumu asked him to eat with her. They had steamed shrimp dumplings, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and refreshing cold dishes. Li Mumu ate more than Xie Xun.

Xie Xun kept looking at her, afraid that she would overwhelm herself.

"What are you looking at? I didn't eat your rice." Li Mumu rolled her eyes.

"I'm afraid you'll overeat."

"I'm growing, so I eat a lot and move a lot, so I get hungry soon."

Even so, she still needs to have a snack, otherwise her little body really can't bear it.

She eats a lot, but she's not fat, just chubby. In that cute, round way, it's natural for little kids to be a little rounder.

How can being skinny be good-looking?

"Now that we've found the people, when do we start?"

"Not quite yet, just a little bit."

Xie Xun looked at Li Mumu and really wanted to pry open her head to see what was in her head. How could a child like her come up with such a meticulous plan?
