The princess is missing, but the emperor is not worried about her safety at all. He is only worried that Chen Lai Fu has betrayed him.
Fortunately, Nanny Xu did not count on Emperor Jing of Wei from the beginning and directly asked the Li family for help.
Outside the palace, Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan led people to search almost the entire capital, but they did not see Su Chenyu. Where did Chen Laifu hide him?
Because he couldn't find Su Chenyu, Baili Yanqing became even more anxious. He carefully recalled the places he had searched in the past two days, wondering if he had missed any place.
Zhu Yi came over with the food. He felt very distressed when he saw Baili Yanqing's miserable appearance.
In just two days, Baili Yanqing looked much thinner.
In the past two days, Baili Yanqing had hardly any rest, let alone eating properly.
Zhu Yi put the food on the table. He wanted to persuade Baili Yanqing to eat something, but Baili Yanqing seemed to have not noticed his presence, let alone the food.
Just when Zhu Yi was thinking about how to start, Ling Yu came over: "My Lord, something happened at the South Gate."
Baili Yanqing immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't the old lady from the Chen family commit suicide in the Huguo Temple? Today is the seventh day, and they said the body would be kept there for seven days. The funeral will be held today, and the funeral procession will leave the city. My father wanted to investigate, but the Chen family stopped him, saying it would be disrespectful to the deceased."
"Didn't I tell you that no one can be spared from entering or leaving the city?" Baili Yanqing said sternly, "Even dead people cannot be spared."
"The Chen family used to be the Duke of Ji. The old lady has a special status, so it is not convenient for my father to check."
It was precisely because of this that the Chen family had the courage to confront the Shenji Camp and refused to allow an investigation. They even wanted to break out from the South Gate, saying that they were afraid of missing the burial time.
"Let's go to the South Gate." The funeral could not have been held earlier or later, but at this time. Baili Yanqing narrowed his eyes. He was still restless after his title of Duke of Ji was taken away from him!
At the south gate of the capital, the Chen family's funeral procession and the soldiers of the Shenji Camp were facing off, and a large group of civilians had gathered around.
Father Chen stood in front of Ling Luojin and asked with a gloomy face: "Ling Luojin, are you really going to stop the old lady's funeral today?"
Ling Luojin looked straight ahead: "As long as we check it once, we can leave."
"Do you want to open the coffin and take a look?"
"certainly!"
Father Chen's face turned red with anger. He complained loudly to the people around him: "Come and listen, is this human language? The dead are the most important, and you actually want to open the coffin lid to check. Are you still human? Do you have empathy?"
After hearing this, the people around also felt that what Ling Luojin did was against human ethics.
"There have been strict checks on people entering and leaving the city these past two days. How much has it delayed us?"
"What on earth happened? Why did they even take someone else's coffin?"
"Anyway, if anyone wants to lift the lid of my mother's coffin, I will lift the top of his head. This is too much of a bully."
"Does being an official allow you to be so overbearing?"
…
The people around them were talking louder and louder. Father Chen and Chen Yue began to feel proud, but their expressions became more and more angry: "You also know what kind of status our old lady has. Do you, a mere commander of the Divine Machine Camp, dare to open her coffin?"
