Behind him, Li Yao was standing not far away. He just happened to hear what Xie Yunqi said and couldn't help but take a breath in his heart.
The princess is missing, this is a big deal.
I don’t know who is so bold as to kidnap the legitimate princess of this dynasty.
Perhaps the sound of his breathing was too loud and alarmed Father Li.
Father Li turned around and saw him still standing there. He was immediately furious: "Why are you still standing there? Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down!"
Li Yao was startled by the shouting and rolled down in a hurry.
Xie Yunqi looked at Li Yao's departing back thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled and said, "What's going on, son..."
Father Li wiped his sweat and smiled apologetically, "My son is a naughty boy. I guess he got involved in some romantic affair again. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
"It's okay." Xie Yunqi waved his hand lightly.
The second son of the Li family was a romantic and suave man. Xie Yunqi knew about this, but he did not take it to heart.
"Within three days, I want the registration list of all the inns and post stations in Longxi."

This booklet was originally compiled by officials from the Ministry of Rites for the purpose of matchmaking between aristocratic families. It later spread to the general public and gradually became a tool for the children of the powerful and wealthy to choose their marriage partners and build their networks.
The women in the painting are likened to "a hundred flowers", implying that they are like a hundred flowers competing for beauty, each with its own charm, but they are also like delicate flowers kept in a boudoir.
Li Yao grabbed the map. He was drunk, and suddenly the pair of eyes in the post station flashed before his eyes. They were still captivating despite the veil.
etc!
What did she mean by shaking her head?
“Bang!”
The wine jug suddenly fell to the ground.
"Acai!" Li Yao suddenly jumped up. "Is there a few fierce guards following that girl? She shook her head at me... Could she have been kidnapped and is asking me for help?"
