Chen Feng hurried over and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Xie Jingyan looked at the brocade in his hand.
The brocade satin was neatly cut on one side, as if ripped by a sword, while the other two sides were torn apart, and the remaining side was embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold and silver threads.
Xie Jingyan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Tell those guys to stop playing around, something might have happened."
Chen Feng, unaware of what had happened, shouted to Tang Ze and the others who were having a great time in the water, "Something's happened! Come quick!"
Xu Ji had just caught a fish when he heard Chen Feng's words and quickly turned around.
Prince Yanping and the others looked at each other, then turned around and walked toward the long bridge.
The group crossed the wooden bridge and asked, "What happened?"
Xie Jingyan handed them the piece of silk and said, "The eldest prince has most likely run into trouble. Take some men upstream to find him."
The Crown Prince of Yanping exclaimed in surprise, "How could something have happened to the First Prince?"
Xu Ji looked at the silk in Xie Jingyan's hand and said, "This is indeed the Crown Prince's brocade robe."
The eldest prince is of noble status and is accompanied by guards. He is very particular about his appearance and would not allow his brocade robe to be damaged like this. Something must have really happened.
The prince's accident is no small matter.
If they don't know, fine; but if they do, they'll definitely go and see.
Prince Yanping and Tang Ze quickly led their men upstream to search. As they left, they said to Xie Jingyan, "We'll go look for it. You stay here in case someone tries to lure us away from the mountain."
However, this is unlikely. The brocade had flown all the way to his knees, and he hadn't even noticed. The possibility of him using a piece of brocade to scheme against them is extremely slim. Besides, there are so many of them together. Without being immodest, they have almost half the power of the imperial court behind them. No one would dare to provoke them so openly.
However, it's better to be safe than sorry; caution is always the best policy.
