Chapter 3286 I skinned him!
Ruoshui's voice trembled as she spoke, "Your Highness, the Prince of Han is missing."
"What?!"
When Nan Yan heard this, she slammed the bowl and chopsticks in her hands on the table, stood up and asked, "What's going on?"
Ruoshui was sweating profusely and stammered, "I just went to His Highness the Prince of Han's house and saw that there was no one there. I asked the servants below, and they said they hadn't seen him since he took his afternoon nap. I looked everywhere but couldn't find him."
Nan Yan frowned and asked, "What about Wen Bieyu? Hasn't he always been following the King of Han?"
Ruoshui said, "I didn't find him either. The servants said that in the afternoon, they saw Wen Bieyu looking for His Royal Highness the Prince of Han in the courtyard. However, because His Royal Highness the Prince of Han often walks around like this, and the servants often look for him like this, no one paid much attention to it at first. But then, he disappeared too."
Nan Yan's face darkened, and she immediately walked out, saying, "Come with me and take a look."
"yes."
Ruoshui and Delu hurriedly followed. Nan Yan hurriedly walked to the courtyard where Zhu Chengjun lived, which was actually next to where she and Zhu Feng lived. As soon as she walked over, she saw the palace maids and eunuchs who usually followed Zhu Chengjun, as well as some guards in the Duwei Mansion, looking for them everywhere. They were all in a panic, and when they saw the imperial concubine coming over with a sullen face, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground.
"My Lady."
"Where are the people?"
Nan Yan only said these two words, and everyone's hands and feet suddenly became weak, and they felt as if a dark cloud was pressing down on them, making it difficult to breathe. An older maid said cautiously, "To answer your Majesty, it has not been found yet."
"When did you discover that the King of Han was not interested?"
"Just now..."
Nan Yan looked around with a gloomy expression, then looked at the men kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear, and said coldly: "Everyone who follows the King of Han will receive fifty lashes. If they dare to give less, I will peel off their skin!"
Several guards immediately came forward and dragged away the palace maids and eunuchs who followed His Royal Highness the Prince of Han. They were so scared that they kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Nan Yan didn't even blink. After a while, the sound of wooden sticks hitting people and a shrill scream came from outside the corner gate.
Nan Yan turned around and said, "You guys, keep looking."
"yes."
Ruoshui came forward and whispered, "My Lady, should we tell the Emperor?"
Nan Yan said, "The Emperor is still at the military camp. I don't know when he will be back. It's almost time for the trip back and forth."
Ruoshui thought about it and agreed.
Nan Yan said, "Send the order down. First, search the Duwei Mansion and find out if anyone saw His Highness this afternoon. Where was he when he was last seen? What was he doing? If you have any information, report it to me immediately."
"yes."
I had been feeling a little uneasy the whole afternoon, and at this moment, it seemed as if this uneasiness had completely become a reality.
Nan Yan slowly returned to the room and looked at the fiery sunset outside. The sky was filled with sunset glow that looked like torn red silk. The red color also burned her eyes. She sat by the window with a burning heart, waiting for news from outside.
However, the people who were looking for it came back one by one, but still couldn't find it.
Just as Nan Yan was becoming increasingly uneasy, De Lu ran in from outside, knelt hastily and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, someone in the east wing said they saw His Highness this afternoon, and that His Highness went to see the old uncle."
"oh?"
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately stood up and rushed to the east wing without saying a word.
At this time, the news also reached the old uncle.
He had already made preparations to go out and even put on his Taoist robes - but he was tall and had dark skin, and did not have the immortal look that ordinary people imagined a Taoist priest to have. The loose Taoist robes made him look even more burly.
When Nan Yan walked to the door of the wing room and saw the old uncle, she was also stunned.
When the old uncle saw her, he said, "Are you here to ask about His Royal Highness the Prince of Han?"
Nan Yan walked in and asked, "Uncle also knows?"
"There was a commotion outside just now. I asked around and found out that His Royal Highness the King of Han is missing."
"I heard that my uncle saw him this afternoon?"
"yes."
"What did he come for?"
The old uncle thought for a moment and said, "He just came to see me and talked to me for a while. Later, Zixiao came over and he left."
Nan Yan said, "Master Chen, come here, do you have something to tell your uncle?"
The old uncle smiled and said, "It's just gossip."
Nan Yan glanced at him.
Although she felt something was wrong, finding Zhu Chengjun was the most important thing at this moment. She could only put other things aside for the time being. So after thinking for a while, she asked, "So, what did Chengjun say to my uncle when he came here?"
The old uncle said: "Actually, he didn't say anything. He just saw the magical instruments I used for my rituals and asked a few questions."
"A magical instrument?"
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
After a while, the emperor returned home.
Zhu Feng, having heard the news of the missing Prince of Han as soon as he entered the Duwei Mansion, immediately came to Nan Yan. After inquiring about the situation, he frowned and thought for a moment before immediately ordering, "Go to the stables immediately and see what's going on. And you two, have Chen Zixiao send people to search the city. Most importantly, ask the city guards if they've seen the Prince of Han leave Handongwei."
Hearing what he said, Nan Yan's face turned even paler.
"Your Majesty suspects that he has left Handongwei?"
Zhu Feng looked down at her, without saying anything, he just reached out and patted her shoulder, saying in a deep voice: "Wait for news first."
After a while, the news came back.
First, news came from the stable. In addition to the horses transferred from the army, two other horses were missing from the stable that day. One of them was Caiyun, which His Royal Highness the Prince of Han used to ride.
Zhu Feng asked, "When did you find out it was missing?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "The people guarding the stables said that because all the Handong Guard cavalry had their horses transferred today, the situation there has been quite chaotic. It wasn't until they took inventory in the afternoon that they discovered that Caiyun was missing."
Zhu Feng frowned and asked, "What about the other one?"
Xiao Shunzi said, "There is another one. Wen Bieyu took it away this afternoon."
"Wen Bieyu?"
"Yes, the stable guard said that in the afternoon, Wen Bieyu suddenly went to the stable in a panic and took away the horse he usually rode with His Highness. Since they rode horses frequently, the people at the stable did not stop him."
Nan Yan immediately said, "Ruoshui said that in the afternoon, people in the mansion saw Wen Bieyu looking for Cheng Jun everywhere. He took the horse away again, is that right—"
