At dawn, Yuan Zhao had not yet returned to the princess's mansion, and no news came from the Huo Mansion.
Biyun, who stayed in the princess's mansion, noticed something was wrong, so she asked Fushan and Fuguang to look after the young men and women while she went to the Huo's mansion to see what was going on.
But when they were halfway there, they saw a carriage lying in the middle of the road, with people gathered in groups of three or four around it.
"This... is he being hunted by his enemies? Why did he fall here?"
"They look like guards from a wealthy family. So scary!"
"Is he dead? He looks like he's still alive!"
"Hurry and report to the authorities!"
Biyun vaguely heard these words and had a bad feeling in her heart.
She walked forward and saw two people dressed as secret guards. Turning over, she saw Mo Feng and Mo Xue lying on the ground!
When the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, Gan Tang fainted inside.
And Yuan Zhao has disappeared.
…
Yuan Zhao just disappeared out of thin air.
Yuan Cheng rushed to the scene with the imperial guards as soon as possible. Mo Xue and Mo Feng were seriously injured and unconscious, and Gan Tang was also unconscious.
No one knows what happened last night.
Yuan Cheng was so anxious that he could only send people to impose martial law in the princess's mansion, while he himself went into the palace to meet Emperor Xuan.
While he was reporting this to Emperor Xuan, there was a commotion outside the Qinzheng Hall.
Zheng Lu's voice came, "Your Highness! Your Highness! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in there discussing matters with His Majesty. You cannot enter unless you are summoned!"
Yuan Heng swung his long sleeves, his face gloomy, "Get out of the way!"
"Yuancheng! Where is my imperial sister?!" The questioning voice came before anyone came in.
He just rushed in like that, and Zheng Lu followed behind him. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Ouch!"
My ancestors! How dare you speak like this in front of His Majesty and the Crown Prince?
Zheng Lu glanced at the expressions of the father and his two sons in the hall, and quickly retreated tactfully.
After leaving the hall, he did not forget to warn the young eunuchs outside, "Watch your mouths! If you leak even a single word about what happened today, you'll be in big trouble!"
As soon as Yuan Heng entered the hall, he went straight to Yuan Cheng and asked,
"What's going on?! Where is my sister?!"
"How can you be the prince? You've lost everyone!"
Yuan Cheng was also furious. He glanced at Yuan Heng and asked, "How dare you say that Zhao Zhao's disappearance had nothing to do with you?"
Yuan Heng paused for a moment, then became furious and grabbed his collar, "What do you mean?! You said I kidnapped my sister?!"
"Then I still suspect you are a suspect!"
…
Emperor Xuan looked at his two tall and strong sons entangled with each other, and it seemed that they were about to fight each other in the next moment.
He felt a little headache, and he was also old and could not bear to see such a scene, so Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice, "That's enough."
Yuan Cheng calmed down and said, "Let go!"
Yuan Heng glared at him before realizing that Emperor Xuan was also here. He let go of his hand and knelt down to pay his respects to Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan simply looked at the two of them, his eyes solemn and imposing. "The Huo family's matter has not yet been resolved, and Zhaohe has disappeared again. If this gets out, it will really damage the reputation of the royal family. It is not appropriate to publicize it now and cause unrest."
Yuan Cheng replied, "Yes," and said, "I have already issued a prohibition on spreading the news of Zhao Zhao's disappearance. We can only tell the public that the princess is ill and the princess's residence is closed to visitors."
Yuan Heng, still kneeling on the ground, snorted softly, "What's the point of not spreading the news? Shouldn't we go find someone quickly?!"
Yuan Cheng didn't really want to pay attention to him. "We've already sent out everyone we need to. We have to wait until the people around Zhao Zhao wake up before we can find out what happened last night."
"My royal brother is the crown prince and is very busy. Please allow me to go find my sister!" Yuan Heng was not satisfied with Yuan Cheng's words.
Emperor Xuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any other clues to the disappearance?"
"Mo Feng and Mo Xue are the top secret guards around Huo Yan. Anyone who can seriously injure them must have been well prepared or have extremely strong martial arts skills. They are definitely not ordinary people."
Yuan Cheng already had a vague guess in his mind, but if it was really that person who did it, then this matter would not be simple.
Emperor Xuan did not ask any more questions, but frowned slightly.
"The affairs of the royal family are both family affairs and state affairs. With the current turmoil in the government and the country, you two brothers should work together."
"Yes." Yuan Cheng replied.
Emperor Xuan glanced at Yuan Heng again, who was still lost in his own thoughts.
"Prince Jin, can you do it?" Emperor Xuan looked at him with a scrutinizing look.
Yuan Cheng also looked at Yuan Heng.
Yuan Heng knelt on the ground, his back straight, "I will never let my father down!"
"But right now, isn't it more important to find my sister?"
…
"I have a way to help Your Highness resolve this worry, but I need something in exchange... What do you think?"
"What?"
"Of course... it's Your Highness..."
"Yes, Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
The repeated "Your Highness" echoed in the dream like the devil's low moan.
Yuan Zhao had been hearing these words repeatedly in her dreams for the past few days. And in her dreams, those dark eyes would always be staring at her.
Yuan Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and saw the roof of the carriage.
She breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was just too tired to fall asleep.
Just as I was about to sit up, a low voice suddenly came to my ear.
"Your Highness is awake?"
This "Your Highness" overlapped with the "Your Highness" in her dream, and for a moment she thought she was still dreaming.
Yuan Zhao's whole body stiffened, and he turned his face incredibly slowly, falling straight into a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Helian Shi was sitting beside her, leaning over slightly and smiling at her.
She wanted to speak, but she was so cold that she couldn't speak.
