Duan Yiling couldn't help but ask.

"Little Princess, are the people from this evil cult really hiding in this place?" He was so tired that his legs were weak and he didn't even see any trace of people.

Xiao Ruyu scratched his head and felt that his judgment was not wrong.

【In theory, it won’t go wrong. 】

She pointed to the last unsearched area on the map, which was an official's residence.

[There is only one place left that has not been checked. ]

Duan Yiheng hesitated and said, "Without a search warrant from the court, we cannot enter the official's house to search without permission."

He looked up at the mansion and racked his brains for a solution.

Xiao Ruyu did not have so much patience. She concluded that since there were no clues in other places, the possibility of Lu Zongyuan hiding here was increasing.

【Why not, we can force our way in. 】

[When the time comes, we can catch them and it will be considered as meritorious service! ]

After saying that, Xiao Ruyu was about to lead his troops to rush in, but was stopped by Eleven.

"Eleven feels that's not right."

"If the evil party is in there, it can be considered as meritorious service. If not, the officials will report their dissatisfaction to the court."

"It's not good for the little princess, why not..."

He whispered a suggestion into Xiao Ruyu's ear.

"The little princess went to pretend that Ergou had run into the mansion, and used this as an excuse to send people in to search."

Hearing his method, Xiao Ruyu was very surprised and tilted her head to look at Eleven.

[Eleven, when did you become so cunning? ]

【Who taught you this? 】

Eleven felt a little embarrassed when she stared at him. He touched his burning ears and stammered, "This... is of course..."

He was about to say that he learned it from Xiao Ruyu, but he met her gaze and swallowed the words.

"Of course I learned it from my master."

After Eleven said this while holding back a smile, he silently prayed in his heart that Doctor Yang would not know.

Xiao Ruyu nodded thoughtfully.

[Indeed, only Master can come up with this kind of trick.]

"A-choo——"

At the same time, Doctor Yang, who was treating the official, sneezed suddenly. Thinking he was infected, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief...

Duan Yiheng and Duan Yiling also agreed with Eleven's idea and brought Xiao Ruyu to the gate of the mansion.

Everyone hid behind the stone lions, waiting for her superb "performance".

Xiao Ruyu thought for a moment, then grinned with a "wow".

“Wuwuwu…”

"Er Gou...where are you, woo woo woo."

The crying sound reached the mansion. After a while, the door was opened and a steward glanced at Xiao Ruyu impatiently and pushed her away.

"Whose little brat is this? Do you know where this is?"

"Go away, why are you crying?"

Xiao Ruyu held on to the door tightly, refusing to leave, tears streaming down her face, "This princess's cat, cat."

"I ran into your mansion. My cat, woo woo woo."

The steward wanted to chase her away, but when he suddenly heard the word "Princess", he was so scared that he almost lost his soul.

"What did you say...Princess?!"

He quickly knelt on the ground, and remembering that there was only one Princess Fu'an in the court, he immediately saluted.

"I am here to see Princess Fu'an."

"Princess, I am guilty of not recognizing the great man."

[Eleven, hurry up, come up and search.]

Xiao Ruyu wiped her tears and glanced at where everyone was hiding.

Eleven heard the voice and immediately rushed out with his men, pretending to be anxious and asking her, "Little Princess, are you sure Ergou ran into this mansion?"

Without waiting for Xiao Ruyu's response, he waved to the people behind him.

"Go in and search."

The manager wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Eleven with a word "I'm sorry".

When the officials in the mansion heard the noise, they immediately came out of the house.

Xiao Ruyu recognized his identity as Lord Xing from the current Shangshu Department.

He looked at the huge group of people rushing into the mansion, his face showing a bit of annoyance.

"What are you doing?! Don't you take me seriously?!"

The steward hurriedly came forward and whispered Xiao Ruyu's identity.

Upon hearing that it was the princess of the current dynasty, Lord Xing's anger subsided a little and he stepped forward to salute Xiao Ruyu.

"I didn't know it was the little princess who came to visit me. I'm sorry for offending you."

Xiao Ruyu covered her face and cried loudly, "This princess wants Ergou, you guys go find Ergou quickly."

Eleven followed and explained, using courtesy first and then force.

"Master Xing, the little princess' cat got lost. She saw it run into your mansion with her own eyes."

"I hope you won't stop me."

Lord Xing had no choice but to give way and let the officers and soldiers search the mansion.

Seeing Xiao Ruyu crying out of breath, he was at a loss and tried to coax her.

"Please don't cry, little princess. If anything happens to you, I will not be able to bear the consequences."

"This cat... I will do my best to help the little princess find it."

He looked around and winked at the steward, who immediately went to the kitchen and brought back some candies that children liked.

Xiao Ruyu looked at the colorful candies, swallowed, and tried to resist her greed.

"If I can't find my cat, I'll make sure you're in trouble."

She threatened Lord Xing, turned her eyes away and pretended to be heartbroken.

Eleven led the officers and soldiers to search the mansion from top to bottom, but found nothing.

"Little Princess, there is no trace of Ergou."

Xiao Ruyu was stunned and blurted out subconsciously.

"How about searching again?"

Eleven shook her head slightly, indicating that she had searched everywhere.

Duan Yiheng and his companions on the other side also came back from the search with the same result.

Upon seeing this, Lord Xing spoke quickly.

"Little princess, how about you tell me about the characteristics of this cat?"

"If you see it in the palace in the future, I will send it back to the palace immediately."

Thinking that if he continued the search, he would alert the enemy, Xiao Ruyu had no choice but to give up.

On the way back, she slumped dejectedly on Eleven's shoulder.

【Eleven, did I make a mistake? 】

[But all the evidence points to this place...]

Eleven patted her back gently and spoke in comfort.

"We can't rush things right now. Maybe clues will appear in a few days."

But at this moment, there is no other way but to give up.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Ruyu quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xiao Ruyu, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the servants.

"Little princess, the emperor is waiting for you in the Yangxin Palace."

Xiao Ruyu finished washing up in a daze and almost fell down while walking.

Eleven supported her in time and carried her to the Yangxin Palace.

"Greetings, Father."

Xiao Ruyu forced her eyes open and after paying her respects, she saw another person standing beside the prince.

Looking closely, she realized that this was none other than Lord Xing, whose mansion she had searched yesterday.

Xiao Ruyu's sleepiness was swept away and his mind became much clearer in an instant.

It's over. Is she here to complain to her father? !
