When Han Luoxue returned to the palace, it was already dark.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor requests your presence in the study!" Han Luoxue was suspicious to be summoned to the study so soon after returning. Usually, Ouyang Zhen would come to her for something, so why was she suddenly called over today?
However, she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly changed her clothes.
Upon entering the study, the atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive. Zhou Yuan was also there, and his usually jovial face was unusually serious.
"What happened?" Han Luoxue was also unsure.
"Xue'er, look at this!"
Upon seeing Han Luoxue enter, Ouyang Zhen hurriedly stood up, took her hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've already sent people to look for her!"
What? A bad feeling washed over Han Luoxue, and her eyes changed.
She glanced at the paper in her hand, her pupils contracting sharply: "How is this possible?"
This is a message from Yancheng, saying that the younger brother, sister-in-law, and Doctor Xu's grandson have suddenly disappeared.
The people over there had been searching for a whole day but hadn't found anyone. Fearing responsibility, they sent a messenger on horseback to deliver the message to the palace.
Han Luoxue's face turned pale instantly. A few days ago, when she saved the two elderly people from the Chi family, she had thought that so much time had passed and Doctor Xu and the others still hadn't returned.
I thought they were getting used to their stay there and didn't want to leave, but I never expected my younger siblings to have an accident!
"I have already sent people to search for them! Xue'er, don't worry, they will be alright!"
Han Luoxue's hands trembled slightly. The three of them didn't know many people over there, and it was impossible for them to have offended anyone, but now they were indeed missing.
They searched for a whole day without finding anyone before sending this message. It would take two or three days to get it over there by fast horse. We don't know what the situation is.
Her parents don't know yet, especially her mother. If she finds out... Han Luoxue doesn't even want to think about what the consequences will be.
"I'm going to find them!"
Han Luoxue was now filled with regret. If she had known something bad would happen, she should have brought everyone to the capital in the first place. It was just a small place, and even if it was rich, it wasn't worth risking so much for so many people.
They never expected that someone would be so bold as to attack them.
"Xue'er, I've already sent someone over. Don't worry, I believe we'll have news soon. It will take you two or three days to get there, and you still have two children at home. Are you sure you're okay with that?"
"This trip will take at least ten days!"
Ouyang Zhen's expression was cold and stern; he was also very anxious after learning of their disappearance.
But all he could do was send people over to search, and send as many as possible.
If they were kidnapped by locals in Yancheng, they wouldn't have acted so quickly; they should have received the news soon. We'll then respond according to the information received.
However, he still needs to speed up the search; all three are children, and Ouyang Zhen doesn't want anything to happen to them.
When Han Luoxue first heard the news, she did panic, but now, after hearing what Ouyang Zhen said, she quickly calmed down.
"You're right, please let me know as soon as you have any news! I'm going to check on the children first!"
Having not seen the two little ones for a whole day, and having just learned of her younger siblings' accident, Han Luoxue was even more anxious.
"Snow Girl, don't worry, I'll be there in a bit and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Upon hearing that Zhou Yuan was going to go in person, Han Luoxue immediately took out two sound transmission trees for him.
"Thank you for your hard work, cousin!"
Zhou Yuan nodded: "Having this means we can communicate much more easily!"
He knew that neither Han Luoxue nor Ouyang Zhen could leave the capital at the moment. Ouyang Zhen had only been on the throne for a short time, and he still needed to control the capital.
Han Luoxue is extremely busy every day, and with her two young children, it's impractical to take them with her. It's also impossible for her to leave for ten days or half a month.
"I've already kept the news under wraps, Xue'er, don't worry, your parents won't know."
Han Luoxue nodded, her face full of gratitude: "Mm!"
"Yes, if our parents knew, they'd just be worrying for nothing. We can't expect them to go all the way to Yancheng to find the person themselves, can we? It's easier to leave professional matters to professionals." Han Luoxue took out a stack of silver notes from her spatial storage and shoved them into Zhou Yuan's hand: "Take these and use them first. Once you get there, don't skimp on expenses. They have some organizations there, and they have more informants than we do. You can try cooperating with them and asking them to help find the person. Money isn't a problem!"
Zhou Yuan nodded. Now she also hoped that the three children would be alright. Especially Han Luoyu, that little girl was never one to suffer a loss, she really hoped nothing bad would happen to her.
Han Luoxue wanted to go there herself, but then she thought it would be pointless, since Zhou Yuan was more tactful than she was.
Ouyang Zhen did not publicize the incident involving his younger brother and sister-in-law, and not many people in the palace knew about it.
Bringing the two children back and looking at their adorable little faces, Han Luoxue felt a pang of sadness.
The maids beside her didn't dare to say much, but Zhuangzhuang and Mengmeng were whimpering and wailing. Han Luoxue didn't know what they were saying, but she figured they were trying to comfort her.
Han Luoxue was filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she would have brought the children back no matter what.
Actually, there wasn't much to do over there. She originally wanted to let her sister have her way, but who could have imagined...
Han Luoxue carefully thought about everything that had happened in Yancheng before, and she always felt that no one would do anything to the three of them.
Everything that needed to be dealt with has been dealt with, including the county magistrate. Few people knew his identity, thus ruling out the possibility that they would use his siblings to threaten him.
