Chapter 54 Go and find the Fourth Princess!
"After I went in, the Fourth Princess asked me to drink tea. After I finished drinking the tea, I found that there was a drug in it. The drug was colorless and tasteless, and I couldn't detect it at all."
Hearing this, Shen Tianming couldn't help but think of the time when he was poisoned. Not to mention Lu Jiuan, even he didn't find that the food was poisonous.
But why did Shen Qingtang drug Lu Jiuan?
Seeing that Shen Tianming's expression eased a little, Lu Jiuan continued.
"Now that I think about it carefully, the Fourth Princess's expression at that time seemed a little unnatural, as if she was threatened by someone."
"Could it be that the assassin threatened the Fourth Princess to drug me?" In order to protect Shen Qingtang and frame the crime on the assassin, Lu Jiuan had to lie to Shen Tianming.
This was the first time he lied in front of the emperor.
Shen Tianming followed Lu Jiuan's train of thought and thought that this might really be the case.
Even if Shen Qingtang wanted to escape, she would not set fire to the Jueyue Palace, because Lu Jiuan was still unconscious in the palace, and other palace maids and guards were also in the palace.
Shen Qingtang has always been protective of her shortcomings, and Shen Tianming was willing to believe that she was coerced by an assassin.
But Shen Tianming always felt something was strange.
He asked the captain of the guards: "How many people have left the city?"
"Only one, that young man in black."
One?
That proves that Shen Qingtang is still in the imperial city?
"Pass the order down, search the entire city immediately, and make sure to rescue the fourth princess."
Lu Jiuan was also about to go out to look for her, but Shen Tianming stopped him immediately.
Shen Tianming has always been muddle-headed in handling things, but now that it concerns Shen Qingtang, his insignificant IQ suddenly takes the upper hand.
Although Shen Qingtang was captured by the assassin, she also wanted to leave the imperial city.
Only one person is leaving the city tonight, and that person is either the assassin or Shen Qingtang!
Maybe there are other assassins waiting outside the city, so the assassin inside the city handed the only general token to Shen Qingtang so that she could leave the city.
Shen Qingtang took advantage of the situation and dressed up as a teenager to get out of the city.
Shen Tianming's analysis was very logical, and he convinced himself in the end.
We can't just look for her in the city, we also need to send people outside the city to look for her.
"Lu Jiuan, I want you to find the fourth princess and bring her back safely. If she's not in the city, look for her outside the city."
"I'll send a few people to look for her with you. If you can't find her, you don't have to come back!"
"As for Madam Lu, I'll send someone to take good care of her for you."
Shen Tianming narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little threatening, which made people shudder.
Lu Jiuan failed to protect the fourth princess, so he should be punished. He couldn't beat Lu Jiuan, so could he not threaten him?
The punishment in his heart was much more painful than the physical punishment.
Lu Jiuan's heart tightened. The emperor actually used his mother to threaten him!
On one side was his beloved woman, and on the other side was his respected mother.
"Your Majesty, I obey your order." Lu Jiuan found it difficult to speak.
In addition to Lu Jiuan and a few others, Shen Tianming also sent other guards out to look for Shen Qingtang.
Shen Muxin watched all this quietly in the dark, with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
Isn't it a good thing that Shen Qingtang left the palace? Why did her father send people to bring Shen Qingtang back?
She wished that Shen Qingtang would die outside like this, but no, she couldn't let Shen Qingtang come back alive.
Outside the city gate, the guards split into several groups and chased Shen Qingtang with all their strength.
And the direction of Lu Jiuan's team's search was exactly the north.
Lu Jiuan knew that these people were sent by the emperor to monitor him.
...
In order to escape farther, Shen Qingtang flew all night.
This was the first time she flew for so long with the Sword, and it almost cost her life.
Her flying speed was not particularly fast, and her spiritual power was not very much.
Shen Qingtang did not want to fall from the sky and die, so she landed near a small town.
She found an inn, ate something, and took a nap to replenish her energy. After her spiritual power recovered, she continued to fly north.
"Meow~" Master~
Xiao Mi crawled out of the spirit beast bag by herself, grabbed Shen Qingtang's clothes and climbed onto her shoulders.
"Xiao Mi, aren't you afraid of heights?" Shen Qingtang touched its soft little head.
"Meow~" I'm not afraid!
"That's right. It's said that cats have nine lives, and they have strong climbing abilities, so they are generally not afraid of heights."
"Now that we've flown so high in the sky, Xiao Mi isn't afraid. Xiao Mi is really so brave~ You're so awesome~!"
Shen Qingtang praised her loudly, Xiao Mi was so flattered that she raised her chin proudly.
"Meow~!" Of course, I'm the bravest and most awesome little cat in the world!
Shen Qingtang's heart was melted by it.
"From now on, we'll live together, and we can be as comfortable as we want, one person and one cat."
She looked back, and it was great, no one caught up with her.
The world is so big, no one knows where Shen Qingtang will go, and those people won't be able to find her for a while.
At the same time, Lu Jiuan was also looking for Shen Qingtang, and he was followed by several other guards.
"General Lu, which direction should we start looking?"
Lu Jiuan didn't know where Shen Qingtang would go, so he randomly said a direction: "Go north."
...
Shen Qingtang flew and stopped like this, and almost ran into Lu Jiuan and his friends several times.
A month later, she finally arrived at Lingquan Town safely.
Lingquan Town is built on the mountain, surrounded by high mountains, and next to the water. There are small bridges along the river and the scenery is pleasant.
Shen Qingtang sighed again and again. She had to say that the scenery of this place was really beautiful!
She originally thought that this was just a small town, but she didn't expect that the scale of this town was quite large.
As a newcomer, Shen Qingtang was going to get some information first.
Although the books described some local customs and practices, they were all books written in the past. What if there are changes now?
There is a store in the town that specializes in selling information, called News.
Well, it's simple and easy to understand.
As soon as Shen Qingtang walked into the store, a handsome young man came over to greet her with a smile.
"This handsome, suave, elegant, extraordinary, stunning and incomparable young man, is there anything I can do for you?"
Shen Qingtang:...
There is no need to be so proud.
Shen Qingtang was still dressed like a teenager, but he had changed his black clothes into a green one.
"I know I'm handsome, but you don't have to flatter me so obviously. I'm very shy."
The young man: ...
After so many years, he finally met someone who was even more shameless than him.
"Young Master, please follow me."
The young man led Shen Qingtang to the private room inside. The news couldn't be spread outside.
"Young Master, what news do you want to know?"
"Tell me the latest news about Lingquan Town first, something important."
"No problem, please pay one hundred low-grade spirit stones first."
"Okay." One hundred low-grade spirit stones are not expensive.
"Since two months ago, Lingquan Town has only allowed entry, not exit."
Shen Qingtang: !!!
What? ! That means she can't go out? Something must be wrong when things are abnormal.
"Why are you only allowed to enter but not leave?"
"Please continue to pay 100 low-grade spirit stones."
The young man showed an extremely friendly smile, but in Shen Qingtang's eyes, he was a ruthless money-making machine.
