Chapter 45: Your Highness! I have brought the person back!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at Cui Zhe suddenly and almost fell backwards.
He suddenly rushed to Cui Zhe and covered Cui Zhe's eyes with his big hands.
Scarlet eyes like a beast:
"Tell me, where did you get this information?!"
Xiao Yan's voice was frighteningly sinister.
Everyone knelt down at this moment, shivering all over.
Even the usually smooth-talking Liu Zhongquan was trembling with fear at this moment.
Because even a blind man can see that His Highness is on the verge of losing his mind.
Liu Zhongquan couldn't help but blame Cui Zhe. No wonder this fool had such a good family background, but still didn't hold a high official position.
It turns out he is a complete fool and idiot!
They say that if someone is alive, you want to see him, and if he is dead, you want to see his body.
Your Highness had never seen the bodies with his own eyes, yet Cui Zhe dared to step forward and say that the noble ladies were gone.
Where in the world can you find such an idiot!
It was the first time that Cui Zhe saw such a sinister and terrifying prince. Fear surged uncontrollably in his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"explain!"
Cui Zhe was thrown to the ground. He breathed heavily and was frightened, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment.
"Your Highness, it's...it's the Xie family."
"Xie... The Xie family has been in Chongzhou Prefecture for the past two days, searching with the nobleman's portrait. They said... that a criminal slave in their family had escaped."
"Today... Today, our people learned that the Xie family has withdrawn all their personnel and said that they have executed the criminal slave."
"I...I dare not delay and have only just come to inform Your Highness..."
Cui Zhe's voice was trembling and unstable.
Liu Zhongquan crawled on the ground and sighed in his heart.
This extremely stupid idiot.
The news has not been confirmed with your own eyes, but you dare to say that the person is gone and even make a fuss in front of His Highness.
Your Highness cares so much about Meng Mingshu and her daughter. Isn't this irritating to Your Highness?
Sure enough, the wounds on Xiao Yan's body began to ooze blood again.
However, Xiao Yan didn't care at all, his pale finger bones were bulging with blue veins.
"Everyone is dead, nothing will happen to them."
"If something happens to her..."
Xiao Yan's voice was cold, his sinister eyes bloodshot:
"Then no one needs to live. They will all be buried with the mother and daughter."
He doesn't want to live anymore.
There was a crazy paranoia in Xiao Yan's sinister eyes.
The most painful thing for a person is to gain hope and then suddenly fall into despair.
Xiao Yan held his chest, feeling as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of needles.
A huge pain erupted from the heart and spread to every part of the body.
At one point, Xiao Yan even regretted it.
He wished he had never met Meng Mingshu.
If I hadn’t been rescued by her back then, if I hadn’t been deceived by her sweet words.
Or maybe my liking for her could be shallower.
Perhaps at this moment he would not be in such pain, and would not be suffering as if his heart was burning with fire.
Liu Zhongquan was frightened by Xiao Yan's extreme words.
The main reason is that Xiao Yan had the ability to do it.
Liu Zhongquan didn't want to die, and even more so, he didn't want to be buried with the deceased.
He could only pray in his heart that Meng Mingshu and her daughter were okay.
Otherwise, Your Highness might really go crazy.
It is true that there are many romantic people in the Li family, many crazy people, and it is also true that some people commit suicide for love.
"Your Majesty, I will take people to Xie's house right now!"
Cui Zhe was terrified and his voice couldn't stop trembling.

When Tuan'er woke up, she found herself in a very small and dark place.
My mother is missing too.
Tuan'er clenched his fists tightly and was about to look for his mother when he heard voices talking above the ground.
"Mom, what should we do now?"
Xiao He's voice was filled with nervousness.
Madam Wang sighed:
"Miss Meng trusted us and entrusted her only child to us before jumping off the cliff. She also gave us earrings and jade bracelets."
"You can tell at a glance that these things are worth a lot of money, and we as human beings cannot lose our conscience.
Later, your father and I will take Tuan'er to Chongzhou Prefecture and send her to the Xu family.
This way I won't let Miss Meng down."
There was some worry in Xiaohe's voice:
"But what if we run into those bullies? I'm afraid my parents might get killed too."
"Tuan'er is small and skinny. Put him in the backpack and cover him with straw. He should be fine."
Lady Wang instructed Xiao He:
"If Tuan'er asks her mother later, you must not let anything slip."
Xiao He nodded: "I know, I said her mother had returned to Chongzhou Prefecture in advance."
Although Tuan'er is young, he can understand what people say.
She burst into tears.
"Wow! I want my mother!"
"I want my mother!"
Daddy once said that once a person dies, you’ll never see them again.
She can't leave her mother for a moment...
Tuan'er cried even harder when he thought of the possibility of never seeing his mother again.
When Madam Wang and Xiao He heard the noise, their expressions changed slightly and they quickly opened the cellar.
Just as Wang was about to explain to Tuan'er, the little girl fainted from crying.
"It's better this way. Crying for too long hurts your eyes."
Wang felt relieved.
It’s better to faint, it will be safer on the road.
Xiao He sent the person to the door:
"Dad and Mom, you must come back safely."
Madam Wang nodded and touched Xiaohe's face:
"Don't worry, it will only take a little over an hour to get to Chongzhou Prefecture. If everything goes well, we will be home soon."
"Lock the door, put the bow and arrow by the bed, and wait for parents to come back."
————
When Wang and Hunter Wang left the village, there were indeed quite a few people at the village entrance, all discussing the identity of the group that came to the village.
"Wang family, where are you going?"
The smile on Lady Wang's face showed no clues.
"Let's go to the county town and sell some medicinal herbs."
After a brief greeting, they finally left the village, and the Wang couple breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wang couple took Tuan'er along the road.
He happened to run into Cui Zhe and his group who were going to the Xie family for interrogation.
Wang and his family were just ordinary people, and they would be afraid when they saw the yamen runners.
What’s more, people like Cui Zhe came from the Imperial Guard.
These people carried a murderous aura.
Madam Wang took only one look, then lowered her head, her palms trembling uncontrollably.
At this moment she admitted that she was afraid.
I am worried that these people are in cahoots with those searching for Tuan'er and his daughter.
Cui Zhe noticed Wang's guilty conscience at a glance.
He originally didn't want to care about it. After all, His Highness was in such a state right now, and he was really worried about his own life.
But the backpack behind Wang moved.
Cui Zhe pulled the reins and looked over, and saw a dirty little face sticking out.
It was a little kid, who looked to be only about three years old. His black eyes were filled with tears and he looked extremely pitiful.
Even a heartless person like Cui Zhe couldn't bear it.
He dismounted and took Tuan'er out of the backpack.
"Little thing, who are they to you?"
"Where are your parents?"
When Cui Zhe mentioned his parents, Tuan'er cried even harder.
She burst into sobs, her little body shaking like a poor little cat.
Cui Zhe couldn't help but wipe Tuan'er's dark face.
But after wiping it clean, Cui Zhe just stood there in a daze.
It was simple. He had a portrait of the little princess in his hand. This little boy was much thinner than the little princess, but their facial features were very similar.
"Little guy, how old are you?"
"Are they your parents?"
The Wang couple had swords pointed at their necks and spoke without hesitation.
"Sir, I... my wife and I are not bad people. This child was entrusted to us by her mother.
We are going to take her to the Xu family in Chongzhou Prefecture to find her father."
"The Xu family of Chongzhou Prefecture?"
Cui Zhe understood something and looked at Tuan'er's face again. At this moment, he had confirmed most of it.
"Your name is Tuan'er, right? Your father's name is Li Yan, no, Xiao Yan, right?"
Tuan'er was stunned, her eyes, washed by tears, were extremely clear, and she was obviously surprised that Cui Zhe knew so much.
Cui Zhe also got the answer from Tuan'er's eyes.
He didn't dare to delay any longer and got on the horse with Tuan'er in his arms.
Cui Zhe looked behind him and said, "Bring this couple with you!"
Cui Zhe only walked less than a mile, so he returned very quickly.
When Liu Zhongquan saw Cui Zhe coming back, he was completely stunned.
He quickly walked up to Cui Zhe:
"Master Cui, at this moment, you still dare to slack off. Aren't you afraid that His Highness will kill you?!"
Cui Zhe ignored Liu Zhongquan and went straight to Xiao Yan's carriage.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, what do you think I brought back?"
