Chapter 587

This was just in case, but unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

Yunxi remained in her pose, her gaze sweeping around the woodshed.

She wasn't surprised by her current situation and quickly calmed down, thinking about how to get out of it.

How to escape...

She was in a woodshed, and a fire there would surely have unpredictable consequences. Therefore, the control of any fire source must be extremely strict, and it was impossible for her to start a fire to attract attention.

Yunxi sighed silently.

If she could, she really wouldn't want to use this last resort.

Yunxi leaned back, and with a quick tug behind her back, she tightened the rope again, making it appear as if she was still firmly bound from the front.

——

At this time, the Eastern Palace had undergone a complete upheaval.

Yunxi disappeared in the changing room. When Zhong Jie found out, she was furious. She didn't care about saving face anymore and rushed to the changing room.

Upon closer inspection, everything in the room was neat and tidy, with no trace of struggle.

A person seemed to have vanished into thin air.

But Chen Qiang insisted that Yunxi disappeared here.

So Zhong Jie, who had been all smiles and laughter just moments before, suddenly seemed like a completely different person.

Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was contorted with rage; she showed no restraint even when facing the Crown Prince.

"If you can't return my child to me properly today, then none of you should live!"

For a time, even Chen Qiang dared not get too close to Zhong Jie.

She was the daughter-in-law of the Prince of Yunnan. Over the years, she had witnessed Zhong Jie's suffering and therefore understood even more how important Yunxi was to Zhong Jie.

If it had never been found, that would have been one thing, but now it's been lost again...

Chen Qiang had absolutely no idea what Zhong Jie was capable of.

Huo Shu is another one.

Huo Shu is usually quite composed, but now his face is extremely grim, and he doesn't seem inclined to try to persuade Zhong Jie at all. Clearly, he shares the same thought as Zhong Jie.

If Yunxi doesn't come back today, none of us should live!

Seeing the mother and son's identical ferocity, the crown prince frowned, a hint of regret rising in his heart.

If he had known, he shouldn't have thought of venting Yun Wan's anger by holding this banquet.

This situation has escalated to a point where it's really hard to resolve.

Fortunately, Yun Wan was here, so on the surface, this matter had nothing to do with them.

Thinking of this, the crown prince's expression softened somewhat.

Yun Wan pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, everyone is here. We really don't know where your daughter went. How about this, if you are really worried, you can look for her yourself."

She had already given the order to get rid of Yunxi as soon as possible and throw her body into the lake.

Let Zhong Jie go look for it. She doesn't believe that Zhong Jie can search the entire lake!

Thinking of this, Yun Wan felt even more confident.

It's as if this matter really has nothing to do with her.

Even Chen Qiang couldn't help but have such thoughts.

"Find her!" Zhong Jie had lost her mind. "Shu'er, go home and bring the guards here. Even if it means turning the East Palace upside down, I will find her today!"

Seeing Zhong Jie's arrogance, the Crown Prince's face darkened: "Insolence!"

Born into the royal family, the crown prince naturally possessed an imposing presence. At this moment, his face darkened, and some of the more timid ones knelt down with a thud.

But Zhong Jie did not back down at all.

As soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, a series of uniform footsteps suddenly rang out, mixed with the sound of clashing armor.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful voice rang out: "Didn't you hear what the Princess said? Turn the East Palace upside down!"
