Coming out of Heather's room, Jiang Muyu looked up at the sky.

The rain was still pouring down, and she had lost her umbrella. However, this place was not far from the main hall, and she hardly got wet as she walked through the corridors and alleys.

Yunyan had been waiting at the entrance of the main hall. As soon as she saw her, she immediately came up with an umbrella and asked in tears, "My queen, you are finally back. Where did you go before? We searched the temple from top to bottom but couldn't find you. We were so worried."

Jiang Muyu didn't expect her to be so excited. He forced a smile and comforted her, "I'm fine, don't worry. I just accidentally got lost."

"Lost?" Yun Yan obviously didn't believe it. "Your Majesty, you have been missing for a whole day and night. The prince is so worried!"

One day and one night?

Jiang Muyu was stunned. Didn't she just sleep for one night? How could a whole day and night have passed?

She thought of what Heather had just said, and finally understood why he said that it would be difficult to explain if Liang Qingchen came looking for her. She had suddenly disappeared for a day and a night. Not to mention Liang Qingchen, I'm afraid even the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion knew about it.

Jiang Muyu said quickly: "Stop crying, go tell your prince that I'm back, don't look for me all over the mountain."

"Yes, yes." Yun Yan put the umbrella in her hand, wiped her tears quickly, walked to the front of the temple and blew a long whistle towards the sky.

Soon, a long cry was heard from the sky, and a black eagle swooped down from the sky.

Yunyan raised her arm, and the eagle flapped its wings and landed on her arm. Then she said a few words to the eagle that no one else could understand, and then raised her arm again, and the eagle spread its wings and flew away.

Jiang Muyu walked to the side of the hall, put down the oil-paper umbrella, looked at Yunyan, and asked, "How many years have you been with the prince?"

Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, tears still on her face. She blinked and looked a little silly. "I... didn't the queen know when I entered the mansion?"

She arrived at the palace five years ago. At that time, Jiang Muyu had been married to Liang Qingchen for several years, and Liang Jinghe was three years old.

Jiang Muyu knew that she was pretending to be stupid, so she didn't expose her. She smiled and said, "I just asked. It's been too long and I have forgotten a little."

"Oh..." Yun Yan touched her nose awkwardly and looked away.

…

In this room, Liang Qingchen and his guards were patrolling the mountain. The rain showed no sign of stopping, and everyone was soaked, but they did not dare to stop for a moment, searching the entire mountain, not leaving out any pits or caves.

His expression was still serious, and his eyes were as cold as ice, extremely cold.

Not long after, a guard suddenly brought a tattered oil-paper umbrella to her and said, "Master, this was found in the search ahead. It looks like a new umbrella."

Yun Xuan, who was nearby, heard this and immediately came over. With just one glance, his pupils immediately dilated and he said, "This... is the umbrella that the Queen held out yesterday..."

Liang Qingchen frowned and said, "Where did you find the umbrella? Take me there to have a look."

The guard led him in that direction. When they reached a pine tree, the guard pointed and said, "I found it on this tree. It just opened and hung on the treetop."

Liang Qingchen looked up at the thick and tall pine tree in front of him. There was nothing on it except the intertwined branches and leaves.

His face became more gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Continue the carpet search, find the person alive, dead..."

He lowered his voice a little, "I want to see the body."

"yes."

The guard turned around and was about to leave, but he was stopped by him, "Give the umbrella to the king."

The guard immediately handed over the tattered oil-paper umbrella with both hands.

Liang Qingchen held the handle of the umbrella, opened it and examined it carefully. There was a lot of rain on it, no corner of the umbrella was intact, and several parts of the umbrella frame were broken.

He clearly saw her leave the house yesterday, how could she just disappear without a trace?

Has she returned to her own world? Will she disappear without a warning again, just like she did seventeen years ago?

He slowly raised the oil-paper umbrella, and raindrops fell through the torn gaps in the umbrella, landing in his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar long sound, and through the hole in the umbrella, he saw a dark spot in the sky.

This is the black eagle he uses to deliver messages.

He immediately put down the oil-paper umbrella and whistled a long whistle towards the sky.

The Black Eagle immediately captured his position and swooped down.

Liang Qingchen raised his arm to catch it. The black eagle landed on his arm and hissed at him a few times.

After hearing the news, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He then released the black eagle and called out "Yun Xuan".

Yun Xuan came over immediately, "What do you want, Master?"

"The princess has been found. Tell the others to withdraw."

Yun Xuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "The Queen has found it? Where is it?"

"Let's go back to Putuo Temple." He said, and then strode up the mountain.

…

Jiang Muyu sat in the main hall, staring in a daze at the tall golden Buddha statue in front of him.

In fact, she was very afraid of death. When she first learned that she had cancer and it was already in the late stage, she couldn't sleep well for several days. She was afraid that once she fell asleep, she would never wake up again.

Now she is still afraid of death. The insects in her body are like a time bomb, reminding her that death is not far away.

She sighed deeply, "Who on earth wants to kill me?"

Heather said that anyone can raise this kind of insect. Even if you don't want to spend time and effort, as long as you have enough money, you can buy a pair of mother and baby insects at a high price on the black market.

In terms of wealth, no one in the entire palace is richer than Liang Qingchen.

But, will Liang Qingchen harm her?

She recalled the time she had spent with Liang Qingchen. In fact, she was not stupid. She understood that everyone around her was planted by him. Yun Xuan, Yun Shan, and Yun Yan were all his people. If he wanted to take her life, it would be too easy. Why would he go through such a complicated procedure?

If it wasn't him, what motives did the other people in the palace have? Or... they weren't people in the palace...

My God, isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack to investigate like this?

She scowled, feeling that the big knife hanging above her head seemed to be getting an inch closer.

"Prince, you are finally here!" Yun Yan shouted happily.

Liang Qingchen ran over quickly, but stopped when he saw the familiar slim figure at the door of the hall. He suddenly didn't dare to move forward.

Jiang Muyu heard the noise and turned around. She was stunned to see him standing outside the door, soaking wet.

He was wearing a black embroidered robe that almost stuck to his body, outlining the curves of his tall and straight figure. Some of his hair was scattered and shaped into strips by the rain. His face was pale, his lips were thin and pale, and there was a layer of light blue stubble on his chin, making him look a little wolfish.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, walked in front of him, and stood on tiptoe to wipe the rain stains off his face. "Why don't you hold an umbrella? It's raining heavily, and you're getting wet..."

Before she could finish her words, he suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

He held her in his arms, feeling the warmth of her body and smelling her unique fragrance. He held her tightly in his arms, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood.

She tried to struggle, but it only tightened her grip, making it hard for her to breathe. "Liang Qingchen, be gentle. You're hurting me."

Hearing her dissatisfied voice, he seemed to find some truth and slowly relaxed his strength.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse: "Fortunately..."

Hearing this, she asked in confusion: "What?"

He suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Muyu's clothes were soaked by him, and they stuck to her body, making her feel uncomfortable. So she gently pushed him and said, "Can you let me go first?"

Liang Qingchen loosened his restraints on her after a while, took a step back, and seeing the large water stains on her clothes, he subconsciously wanted to take off his outer robe and put it on her, but when he took it off, he found that water could be squeezed out of his outer robe.

He looked at her cautiously, "I...I didn't mean to do that."

"It's okay." Jiang Muyu noticed that he had a heavy nasal tone when he spoke, so she pushed him out of the hall, "Let's go find a room to change your wet clothes first. If you keep going like this, you'll get sick."

Liang Qingchen refused to obey, and stretched out two fingers to gently hook her little finger, with her thick eyelashes half drooped, and whispered: "You come with me."

Jiang Muyu felt that he looked like a big dog seeking comfort and could not bear to refuse, so she nodded.

He pursed his lips and smiled, then held her hand and walked out of the hall.
