Jiuer immediately covered her eyes, but the gaps between her fingers were not tight.
Almost at the same time she covered her eyes, the red robe had already fallen on Duan Rong.
A figure flashed and Jiuer's little hand was pinched down.
"It's not the first time you've seen it. Don't you think it's a little late to cover it now?"
Okay, Jiuer looked up.
Look openly.
The black hair of the man in front of him was still damp, with even tiny drops of water dripping down and disappearing deep into his loose red robe.
Jiuer covered her eyes again.
Duan Rong narrowed his eyes, reached out and pinched her cheek, and chuckled softly.
Jiuer smiled and said, "Butler Lu did it on purpose. He knew you were bathing but he didn't remind me. He even let me come in by myself."
Duan Rong seemed to have no idea what she did today or who she met.
I tried my best to forget the scenes of her smiling at Su Jingxing in the afternoon, and tried my best not to scare her.
He went to the side and sat down lazily. "You said earlier that you had plotted against the Goddess of Wu Hai. What's going on?"
At this point, Jiuer, who had followed, sat down and asked, "Another girl went missing in the city last night, right?"
"It even caught your men off guard. No matter how many men you have, they are not enough to guard all the sixteen-year-old girls in Kyoto. You must have focused on guarding the daughters of the rich and powerful."
It’s not that Duan Rong attaches more importance to protecting the daughter of the powerful, but the one who disappeared before was the daughter of the powerful.
"The person behind the scenes took advantage of the opportunity and completely changed direction." Jiuer said again.
"Heh, he's always been a little clever when it comes to little calculations like this."
"So, you have already known the mastermind behind this for a long time, right?" Jiuer was not surprised at all.
He began to think seriously again, "Do you think he has some weird idea of refining elixirs to achieve immortality?"
"I don't know if he has such an idea, but," Duan Rong laughed sarcastically, having completely seen through Emperor Cangyu's tricks, "the girls who disappeared last night all came from families with special circumstances. They were families that had no scruples and would definitely make a big fuss about their disappearances."
"For example, the auntie with a confused mind whom I met today is the most typical example, right?" Jiuer continued.
"good."
It was now clear what Emperor Cangyu wanted to do by capturing the girl, but he didn't want to keep it a secret.
Even deliberately letting it spread quickly.
This is similar to previous epidemic incidents.
Of course, Jiuer was more inclined to think that Wang Xiaojin's disappearance was to involve herself. After all, Wang Xiaojin was her friend, and she would indeed take care of Wang Xiaojin.
Jiuer propped up her chin and said, "No matter what his purpose is, for now, those girls should not be in danger of losing their lives. But we can't say for sure in the long run."
"I have also confirmed that my previous method of finding people is no longer useful. So..."
Her eyes were curved, and her face was full of mischief. "Today I will play along with her and pretend to be jealous of the Goddess of Wuhai. When she poisoned Su Jingxing to test me, I will directly plant the tracking device on her."
"As long as we keep an eye on her, we should be able to find some clues about the missing girl. Even if we don't keep an eye on her, I'll know where she went!"
At that time, she was so concerned that she was confused and was fooled by the Goddess of Wuhai.
But at that time, it was also the time when the Goddess of Wu Hai was least likely to notice.
Seeing her eyes shining, Duan Rong resisted the urge to hug her again, "The girl who disappeared last night should still be in the city."
"And tonight..."
Jiuer immediately hugged his arm with great interest, "What if the other party sends someone to attack tonight? Otherwise, let's go to the place where the Wuhai Goddess lives at night."
The man who had always indulged her willfulness rejected her ruthlessly this time, "Don't even think about it."
There's no use in acting cute!
Without any further ado, Duan Rong personally lit a special calming incense for Jiuer when she was sleeping at night.
He forced himself to stay with Jiuer until she fell asleep, and only left after seeing that there was nothing wrong with her body tonight.
Jiuer slept well that night.
But many people don’t sleep well.
Especially the eldest and second princes who had ulterior motives and were ambitious.
And what Jiuer and Duan Rong speculated was absolutely correct.
The news that a young girl had recently gone missing in Kyoto spread overnight.
Some of the people who were immersed in the excitement of the imperial merchant selection had not yet come to their senses. As I said before, after all, let alone girls, as long as they were women and children, there would always be some missing.
They all thought that the best thing to do was to take good care of the women and children at home.
Until the "truth" of the disappearance gradually surfaced clearly.
When these people heard that the disappearance of these girls was very "strange" this time, and that not only ordinary people, but even the daughter of a prime minister, who lived in a high-ranking family like the prime minister's mansion, had "mysteriously" disappeared, the people became panicked after realizing it belatedly.
They also made various speculations.
The previous scattered cases of missing girls outside Beijing were also connected.
The more we contact them, the more we speculate and the more bizarre it becomes.
Some people began to think about eternal youth or immortality or some strange sacrifices.
By the evening, a new and chilling rumor had begun to spread.
Those girls might have been captured by some witch or demon and were forced to practice some weird techniques to achieve eternal youth!
This argument is not new, but it is creepy because it is applied to a specific person!
That is - the evil girl Jiuer!
To be honest, even Duan Rong and Jiuer did not expect that Emperor Cangyu would move so fast.
And this method is used against Jiuer.
Just when Cangyu Kyoto was about to fall into chaos, in the distance, there was a country that was also almost overlooked, the Lan Kingdom.
Because the country has maintained a policy of seclusion and self-sufficiency in recent years, it seems that the whole country is still living a peaceful life.
The Emperor of Lan Kingdom, Ling Qingran, was also a young emperor who ascended the throne three years ago.
At this moment, somewhere in the royal resort garden of Lan Kingdom.
A young man asked the eunuchs and guards around him to stay where they were, and went alone to the palace diagonally in front of him.
He was a young man with a very attractive temperament and appearance.
The young man was wearing an ink-black robe, with a silver hollow hibiscus flower border visible inside the robe.
It's obviously not fancy, but no matter how you look at it, you can feel the extraordinary figure of a gorgeous nobleman.
Especially when he looked up at people and smiled, it was like April in the human world, so bright that it seemed to call back spring.
"Grandma." The young emperor stopped outside the yard and called out to the people in the yard with a smile and an attitude of impeccable respect.
His voice was definitely not unpleasant, nor was his voice as intimidating as that of most emperors.
It even sounds a bit soft and harmless, a characteristic of teenagers.
However, the woman in white in the yard turned around suddenly as if she was pricked by a needle.
Even though the child raised by Ling Duannian does not look like him, his temperament is somewhat similar to his.
What's more, although the young emperor Ling Qingran in front of him does not look like Ling Duannian, his eyes and brows are a bit like Baili Feiyue, whom Aunt Bai thinks is simply a person with a demon!
Aunt Bai, who was as cold as frost and seemed to have no emotions, had her eyes trembling violently at this moment. She asked, "Did Ling Duannian really go to Dajing to find Ling Jing?"
Ling Qingran smiled slightly and replied in a very obedient and filial manner, "Grandma, father did not go to Dajing."
"He wasn't looking for Aunt Jing. He heard that sister Jiu'er was missing, and he found out about a country called Cangyu. He went to Cangyu."
"He still wants to control it! He even controls Ling Jing's daughter!" Aunt Bai was extremely sharp, "Does he know what he is doing? He was like this ten years ago, and he is still like this ten years later! Isn't ten years enough for him to forget Ling Jing!"
"Does he really want to give his life to Ling Jing completely?"
Ling Qingran lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the expression in his eyes.
After a moment, he raised his eyes again and smiled softly and harmlessly at Aunt Bai, "If Grandmother had cared for Father like this when he was a child and given him even a little bit of care and love, how could Aunt Jing be the only warm light that saved Father."
He sighed in filial piety, "Grandma, it's too late for you to show your love for your mother and son now."
Aunt Bai's lips were trembling, as if she saw the son she had raised, that... devilish son.
“You…you…”
Ling Qingran smiled softly and harmlessly at her again, "Grandma, please don't worry about father. He has his own ideas and considerations for everything he does. You should calm down and take good care of yourself. After all, father hopes that you can live a long and healthy life."
After he finished speaking, the young emperor turned around, went out and instructed the palace maids waiting outside to take good care of the empress dowager.
In the yard, Aunt Bai, whose body had not been marked by the passage of time, had lips that turned blue and then white, and then white and then blue.
