Yun Xiangye smiled lightly and touched Nuonuo's head, "Don't be mean to daddy from now on, Nuonuo. Mommy won't let you suffer any injustice."

Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms, "Hello, mother."

Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Then Nuonuo kisses my dear mother."

"Oh!"

--

In Qingfeng Garden.

Seeing that it was getting dark and Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo had not returned to their rooms, Gu Yan frowned.

When he was about to go out to look for Yun Xiangye, he met Xiao Jingru who came to Qingfeng Garden with a toy.

"Brother, I'm here to look for Nuonuo."

"Today, Nuonuo protected her mother and bit Sister Nan'an who bullied her mother. She was very brave. This pony is my reward for Nuonuo."

Gu Yan frowned and looked at the three-year-old girl in front of him, "Did your sister Nan'an bully your sister-in-law?"

Xiao Jingru nodded and said, "Well, Sister Nan'an bullied my sister-in-law, so I taught Xiao Nuonuo to bite Sister Nan'an to protect her mother. Xiao Nuonuo is awesome!"

Gu Yan looked at Xiao Jingru unhappily, "How could you let Nuonuo bite people randomly?"

Little Jingru wasn't afraid of Gu Yan. She looked up and defended herself, "I taught Nuonuo to bite those who bullied her mother! I didn't bite randomly!"

Gu Yan felt that it was childish to argue with a three-year-old girl who had just learned to speak about the rights and wrongs of biting, so it would be more important to find Yun Xiangye.

Gu Yan left the courtyard and saw that Nanny Cao, who was supposed to be with Nuonuo, was actually in the courtyard. He frowned and looked at Nanny Cao: "Why aren't you with Nuonuo?"

Nanny Cao said, "Just now in the afternoon, the Crown Prince's Consort went out and didn't let me follow her. Now it's already 12 o'clock, and the Crown Prince's Consort and Nuonuo haven't returned yet..."

Gu Yan looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, then hurried to the main gate of the Princess's Mansion and asked the guards present, "When did the Crown Prince's Consort leave the Princess's Mansion?"

"She left around five minutes past noon. After she left, the princess never returned to the princess's residence."

Gu Yan frowned and ordered the head guard of the Princess Mansion at the door: "Call the guards in the mansion and go to the street to look for the Crown Prince's Consort and the Little Princess. She didn't take the Princess Mansion's carriage. Go ask the carriage dealer. Remember not to let anyone know that you are going to look for the Crown Prince's Consort and the Little Princess."

The captain of the guards looked at Gu Yan in surprise.

Gu Yan said: "Especially, my mother must not know about this."

The chief guard bowed and said, "Yes, I will send someone to look for the Crown Prince's wife and the young princess right away."

When Gu Yan saw the horse Qing Ming brought, he jumped on the horse and headed towards Su's Ya Shop on West Street.

When Gu Yan arrived at the door of Su's Dental Clinic, it was already closed.

Gu Yan gestured to Qing Ming to go forward and knock on the door. It took a long time before the doorman came to open the door.

"Prince Ning, my master is not here. If you have anything to say, please come back after the Lantern Festival."

Gu Yan frowned: "Is your master not here?"

The gatekeeper said, "My master left Chang'an City after noon with his wife after looking at the shops."

Gu Yan suddenly became worried. Su Zhan was not at Su's Dental Clinic...

It’s so late, where will Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo go?

Gu Yan asked the doorman, "Has a woman wearing a lake green satin lining and a rabbit fur coat come here since noon?"

The doorman said, "She came here and left after learning that our master had left Chang'an City."

Gu Yan frowned even more and asked hurriedly, "Which direction did she go?"

The doorman pointed in a direction and said, "That way."

Gu Yan hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him.

Although the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City falls on the Lantern Festival, it is only because the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival is the most lively, with parades of dazzling lanterns from various prefectures. At this moment, both sides of Chang'an Avenue are also lined with various lanterns.

Although there were not as many tourists as on the Lantern Festival, riding horses was not allowed, so they had to dismount and look for the place.

Gu Yan anxiously searched the crowd for a long time until late at night, when pedestrians gradually dispersed. Occasionally, he could only encounter a few drunk men wandering the streets in pubs and brothels.

Gu Yan returned to the princess's residence and asked the chief guard at the gate, "Has the Crown Princess returned yet?"

The captain of the guards shook his head and said, "No, our people have searched the inner city and found no trace of the Crown Prince's Consort."

Gu Yan frowned. How could three such obvious people, Yun Xiangye, Nuonuo and her maid Run'er, completely disappear without a trace?

Gu Yan was extremely anxious, so he jumped on his horse and headed towards the East Palace.
