"Boom boom"
"Boom boom"
…
Spring thunderstorms come suddenly. At first it's just light raindrops, but soon it turns into a violent storm with thunder and lightning.
Yuan Cheng had already sent people to send the envoys and other people back to the various gardens, and sent imperial guards to guard them, not allowing anyone to enter or leave the gardens.
The only ones left were Yuan Zhao and Yuan Musheng, holding Yuan Zhizhi, with Yuan Qiyu next to them.
Yuan Zhao walked to the entrance of the tent and looked towards the back mountain. It was raining heavily outside and the sky was gradually getting dark.
She paced back and forth, very anxious.
Suddenly she stopped and called Wang Fu, the eunuch beside Yuan Cheng,
"Go find everyone who has been near the stables today and see if anyone has tampered with the horses."
Wang Fu took the order and went down.
Yuan Cheng walked over to Yuan Zhao and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. A Yan and the others have already gone, and they've also sent out several teams of imperial guards. They will definitely find it."
Yuan Musheng also came forward, holding Yuan Zhizhi in his arms. "Mother, don't worry. Nannan still has martial arts skills. She will definitely be able to save herself."
Yuan Zhizhi blinked and shook the bracelet on her wrist, but there was no response.
Her eyes dimmed slightly, as if after the Wei family left, her memories of the past had become increasingly faint, and the bracelet's magical power had also gradually diminished.
She sighed inwardly.
It seems that the future path requires us to move forward together as a family.
But she is just a little baby now, how can she help everyone?
…
Nanyuan, Ye Jiao couldn't hide the excitement on her face when she returned to the room.
If she hadn't thought about someone watching outside, she would have laughed out loud.
Yuan Nan'an, ah Yuan Nan'an, the more fame you had before, the harder your fall will be!
It would be better for you to die in the hunting ground and be eaten by wild beasts!
At the same time, the news had also been received in the Qinzheng Hall and Linhua Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The Qinzheng Hall seemed to have no reaction.
In Linhua Palace, Concubine Shu was fiddling with the flowers in the pot. She seemed surprised when she heard the words and only gave one instruction:
"The Crown Princess must be worried about the Emperor's grandson and sent the news to the Eastern Palace."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Go to the storehouse and get the best ointment and send it to the emperor's grandson and Prince Jin."
The messenger left quickly, and Concubine Shu continued to trim the branches leisurely.
Suddenly, she curled her lips into a smile and murmured, "Is this a meeting gift?"
…
Huo Yan, Yuan Heng and Yuan Xuan were divided into three teams, each leading a team of imperial guards to search for him at the foot of the cliff.
The call echoed in the back mountain, but no one responded.
Bean-sized raindrops fell down, and gusts of wind blew, breaking branches and leaves from time to time.
Huo Yan found the horse that had fallen to its death at the bottom of the cliff, but Yuan Nanan was not there.
He ordered people to carry the horse's body up and send it to Yuancheng to check what went wrong.
He then continued to ask everyone to disperse and look for Yuan Nan'an.
Yuan Xuan's legs were covered in mud and he looked in a mess, but he never stopped.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and slowly, the imperial guards behind him dispersed more and more.
Yuan Xuan didn't realize it at all. He was determined to move forward, shouting over and over again:
"South-South"
"Nannan, where are you?"
"Speak!"
"Nannan, respond to me, I'm listening!"
…
But the only responses he got were the whistling wind and the sound of rain.
He didn't know where he was going, but he had reached the bottom of the cliff, and the heavy rain had washed away the marks left by the horse's hooves.
Yuan Nan'an seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and could not be found no matter how hard we looked.
Xiaobai sniffed around, but the rain diluted the scent, making it difficult to find.
Yuan Xuan forced himself to calm down. He looked up from the bottom of the cliff, trying to see the falling trajectory clearly through the mixed rain water, and wondered how Nan Nan would respond in such a desperate situation.
Nan Nan is very good at light work and has great strength, so she will definitely not let herself fall.
She wasn't at the bottom of the cliff, maybe she did something on the way down.
So Yuan Xuan climbed up. There was no road in the forest, so he tried hard to make a way out, chopping the messy branches and vines with a dagger in his hand.
Halfway up the climb, his strength was almost exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and continued to climb.
It was completely dark at this time. Through the thick rain, he could vaguely see a crooked tree in the middle of the cliff.
He tried hard to climb over there, but there was an abyss with no bottom in sight under his feet. However, he was not afraid at all.
He was still shouting, "Nannan"
"South-South"
…
Still no response.
When he arrived at the crooked tree, Yuan Xuan wiped his face, which was covered with rain or mud. He stared at the tree with wide eyes.
There were indeed signs of cracks on the tree.
But there was no one.
The little white cat under him jumped up and hummed in one direction.
Yuan Xuan tried hard to grope on the tree in the direction indicated by Xiaobai. He touched something and felt a warm and cool touch.
He touched it carefully again and pulled the thing over.
When he held it in his hand, a glimmer of hope finally ignited in his heart.
It was the jade that Yuan Nan'an won.
Said he wanted to make him a jade pendant.
He placed the jade piece neatly in his arms and continued to look around.
Nan Nan must have stayed on this tree. Where could she be?
…
Yuan Nan'an was awakened by the sound of "Nan Nan".
Just like every day in the past six months, there was always someone shouting in her ear and behind her,
"South-South", "South-South"...
She felt so much pain all over her body, and it felt like the bones in her arms, back and legs were broken.
