The servant bowed hurriedly and replied aggrievedly:

"Your Highness, it was clearly him who started the trouble. He stepped on my foot, and I didn't say anything, but he said I stepped on his foot. He was just looking for trouble..."

"I see."

Leng Xi didn't want to listen any further, so he interrupted the servant.

He looked up at the butler and shouted at him,

"Come in."

The housekeeper had a bad feeling in his heart, bent over, and followed Leng Xi into the study.

"close the door."

Leng Xi's voice was so cold that it made him tremble with fear.

The housekeeper did as he was told.

Leng Xi sat behind the desk, looking at him solemnly.

"Has anyone been in my study?"

The butler tutted his lips and replied in a low voice:

"After you left this morning, the young master came in, and the princess also came in."

Hearing this, Leng Xi immediately understood. No wonder Leng Yu asked someone to borrow books from him. It turned out that borrowing books was fake, but coming to find out what was going on was real.

He clenched his fists solemnly, then slowly released them.

Then he instructed the butler:

"These two people can't stay here..."

When the butler heard this, he asked with some concern:

"So... where do we put them?"

Leng Xi pondered for a moment, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

"I have my own arrangements. You go down first. Remember, no one is allowed to enter or leave this study from now on. If I'm right, the people from Prince Yu's Mansion will arrive in the evening, if not in the afternoon..."

Hearing this, the butler looked at him in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, how did you know they would come? What...why would they come?"

Although the butler guessed most of it, he was still not sure.

Leng Xi's brows showed a hint of ferocity, and then he said with a contemptuous smile:

"Of course I'm here to search for people, to find people, to rescue people, but I will leave them disappointed."

At this point, he waved his hand to the housekeeper.

"Go down!"

The butler nodded, stepped out, and closed the study door.

Leng Xi got up, walked to the door, and inserted the bolt from the inside. Then he came to the picture, lifted the canvas, turned the button, and opened the door of the secret room.

It was not time for the meal to be delivered yet, and Leng Xi opened the door again. An An and Huang Yun both had a bad feeling.

The facts were exactly as they thought. Leng Xi took out two ropes from the box at the door and slowly approached them.

"What are you going to do?"

Huang Yun pulled An An and put her behind him, looking at Leng Xi in astonishment.

"Are you a man? What do you want to do?"

Leng Xi had a faint and calm smile on his face. He took out a piece of black silk and tied it around his mouth and nose, then began to arrange the rope in his hand.

"I'll take you to a good place."

"Don't come over here..."

"Don't come over here..."

Their shouting posed no threat to Leng Xi, because their bodies contained cartilage powder, and they were so weak that they could only speak.

…

After Ayu and Ahou returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, they told Leng Yu what they saw in Prince Xi's Mansion. However, at this time, no one dared to be sure that An An was in that secret room.

If he couldn't be sure, he couldn't search openly, so Leng Yu immediately decided to go to Prince Xi's Mansion in person at night to find out the truth.

In the evening, Luo Lan was in An An's room, staring at her favorite little doll in a daze, when Ah Hong came hurriedly to report,

"Princess, Lele is missing."

"What?"

Luo Lan felt that her head went blank at this moment.

"I saw him at noon, how come he's gone?"

Ah Hong shook her head with a sullen expression.

"I don't know. I just went to the front and back doors to ask. He went out the back door, but he didn't come back."

Luo Lan's heart rose to his throat again.

An An has not been found yet. If something happens to Le Le again, wouldn’t that be the end of her life?

But why did he leave the house?

Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of Huaiyu. At noon, he proposed to go see Huaiyu. She agreed to let him go, and then he left the house. Could it be that he was going to do something for Huaiyu?

"Let's go ask Huaiyu."

Ah Hong did not dare to delay and followed her, quickly walking towards the room where Huaiyu was imprisoned.

When the door that locked Huaiyu was opened, Huaiyu was seen lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and seemed to be sleeping.

Luo Lan frowned and called softly, "Huaiyu? Huaiyu?"

Huaiyu didn't move, but she could feel that the person underneath was not asleep.

She stepped forward, lifted the corner of the quilt, and asked softly:

"Huaiyu, tell me, what did you say to Lele? Why did he suddenly leave the house? Where did he go?"

Huaiyu turned inward and shook her head vigorously.

Luo Lan knew that Huaiyu was in a bad mood these days and didn't want to talk to anyone. She could understand this. If Lele hadn't gotten into trouble, she wouldn't have wanted to disturb him. It would be a good thing to let him have a few days of peace and quiet.

She sat on the edge of the bed, sighing softly.

"Huaiyu, mother knows that you are in a bad mood, but you have done something wrong and you must pay for it. I came to see you today just to ask you, what did you say to Lele when he came to see you? He left the house in the afternoon, and now it's dark, and he hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid he will be in danger. Tell me if you have anything..."

Her voice became softer and softer, but the person under the quilt kept shaking.

Luo Lan suddenly realized that something was wrong. She turned around to lift the quilt, but the corner of the quilt was tightly grasped.

"Huaiyu, is that you?"
