At dinner, Yunying was not there.

As night fell, Yunying was still nowhere to be seen.

The nights in winter get dark early, and once it gets dark, everything becomes quiet. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it is as quiet as one or two o'clock in the morning, but Qin Ye becomes uneasy and worried.

Where is Yunying?

Although she is lively and active, I have never disappeared for so long. I would always tell her where I was going in advance.

Where are the people?

Out of worry, he called housekeeper Yang and the servants of Hanfeng Courtyard and interrogated them one by one, but no one had seen Yunying.

Immediately, an ominous thought surged in her heart...

I'm afraid something has happened!

Qin Ye didn't care about the night, put on a thick robe, and ran out.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Han Feng asked as he passed by. "Do you need any help?"

Qin Ye glanced at him, said nothing, and ran out.

Han Feng scratched his head: "???"

Why did he feel that the look the princess gave him was a little strange, a little hostile, and cold?

He didn't offend the princess, did he?

It was dark at night, with few pedestrians on the street, a cold wind blowing, and a cold and deserted place. Qin Ye's running figure was spotted by King Li who was patrolling the street.

"Princess Chen!"

Qin Ye's hurried steps paused slightly, and when he saw Zong Zhengli, his eyes lit up and he ran forward:

"King Li!"

"Are you busy? Can you help me find someone? My maid is missing!"

Qin Ye, who said during the day that he didn't need help, didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.

Zong Zhengli was naturally very willing, "What's your maid's name? What do you wear? What do you look like? Have you left the house? What are your characteristics? Tell me quickly!"

"Her name is Yunying, and she has short hair..."

Qin Ye finished speaking quickly, somewhat anxiously.

Yun Ying grew up in Dongning City and had never been to the imperial capital. She had no relatives or friends here and was unfamiliar with the place. If she suddenly disappeared, what if something happened to her...

.

At the same time, in a mansion strictly guarded by soldiers, chaos broke out. In the main courtyard, a bloody girl fell to the ground, her face was bruised and bloody, but her eyes were full of resentment:

"You did it!"

His bloodstained hands angrily dug into the ground, and he stood up tremblingly:

"You can't defeat King Chen, and you're worried that King Chen is too powerful and will take away everything from you! So you deliberately spread the disease in Dongning City, and then pretend to save people to create merit for yourself!"

"You are such a despicable...ah!"

Zong Zhengyu slapped the girl, sending her flying five meters away.

He shook his red palms, and the light in his eyes was like madness.

He was deposed for two days and locked up for two whole days, cut off from all contact with the outside world. He felt as if he was isolated from the world, but suddenly someone appeared and wanted to assassinate him.

Oh!

Hahaha!

He was worried about being bored in prison, but someone offered him a 'toy' to help him pass the time.

He strode forward, grabbed the girl by the collar, and picked her up like a chick:

"Are you from Dongning City?"

He looked down at her, "Why are you looking at me so angrily? Did all your family members die of the plague, and that's why you hate me so much?"

"ah!!"

His words directly hit Yun Ying's wound.

She originally had a happy and complete family. Her father ran the Yun family martial arts school, her mother took care of her husband and children, and the family lived happily together. But everything changed because of the epidemic!

Her father died, her mother died, and she was left alone.

It’s all because of the culprit in front of me!

"You did it! You did it! You vicious, cruel murderer, I want you to pay for the lives of the people who died in Dongning City!"
