Chapter 620: Like, people from the Kingdom of Dian
"Grandma... is missing?"
"Yes."
"How could it be? Why did she disappear?"
Nan Yan was anxious, and when he saw her like this, Gu Tingchun became even more nervous than before and was almost speechless.
Simuyun, who was standing by, remained relatively calm. He stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, my grandmother was at home last night and everything was normal. This morning, someone from the palace came and told us that the Imperial Concubine was going home to visit her family, so we immediately began preparations."
“…”
"At three quarters past noon, send someone to fetch Grandmother."
“…”
"As a result, I found that my grandmother was missing."
Nan Yan asked loudly, "Where are the people who serve her?"
Several maids hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed profusely: "Please forgive my sins, Your Majesty."
"Explain to me clearly, why did grandma disappear?"
"The servants really don't know."
"Last night, after helping the old lady to sleep, the servants all withdrew. This morning, as usual, we went to ask the old lady to come and receive us a little earlier than usual."
"It turned out that there was no one in the room."
They cried and begged for mercy: "Please forgive us, Your Majesty. We really don't know what happened, and we don't know why the old lady disappeared."
“…”
Nan Yan's breath became heavier.
Grandma is missing.
She disappeared!
Although she had had attacks in the past where she would wander around the house while unconscious, it was never like this.
Although the Si family's guards were not as strict as the imperial palace, they still had servants to protect the house.
It is impossible for an old man to disappear from such a large mansion without alerting anyone.
This is obviously not normal!
Just when Nan Yan was panicking, a big, warm hand rested on her shoulder.
A low but steady voice sounded in my ears.
"Don't worry."
Looking back, it was Zhu Feng.
He looked at Nan Yan calmly with a steady gaze and said, "Go in first and find out what's going on, then we'll talk."
As soon as his voice sounded, Nan Yan inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
She nodded gently at him.
At this moment, it seems like there is nothing to be afraid of even if the sky falls.
He is here.
Just like the last time at the enthronement ceremony in front of the Fengtian Palace, when the letter was made public and everyone was against her, Zhu Feng did the same thing and reached out to support her.
The warm body temperature spread from his palm to her back and all over her limbs.
He supported her like this and walked into the Si family.
The inside also looked a bit messy. Apparently, after getting up early in the morning and discovering that Tong Yuhua was missing, all the people in the mansion who could go out started looking for her, and some even went to the streets outside.
Nan Yan and Zhu Feng walked in together and sat down in the lobby.
Asked about the situation.
Then, he sent all the people out, including Ye Zheng, to look for clues.
Someone offered her tea and snacks, but Nan Yan had no interest in them at all. At least she was anxiously looking forward to it, hoping that someone would find her grandmother.
Or, at least find some clues.
Time passes by little by little.
Soon, it was afternoon.
The people who went out to look for her came back in groups. They searched the mansion thoroughly and also searched a large area outside, but there was no clue at all.
Nan Yan's heart grew heavier and heavier, as if sinking into a cold pond.
The hand that was holding the armrest of the chair was shaking constantly, and her whole body felt like she was sitting in the snow.
At this time, Zhu Feng's hand covered hers.
Nan Yan looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears.
Zhu Feng frowned.
"Nan Yan..."
"Your Majesty," Nan Yan said tremblingly, "What should we do?"
“…”
"My grandmother is missing, what should I do?"
“…”
"She, she's always been sick, and when she's sick she can't remember anything."
“…”
"Sometimes, she doesn't even remember she just ate, and she insists everyone cook for her."
“…”
"It's ready and right in front of her, but she won't eat it."
“…”
"She couldn't remember the way. Sometimes, she didn't even recognize me."
“…”
"What should I do? What if she gets lost and can't remember the way back?"
Listening to her crying and talking, tears rolling down one by one like beads with broken strings, Zhu Feng's heart was in a knot.
He grasped her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "I'm here."
“…”
"Don't be afraid."
“…”
"I will find a way to help you get her back."
Nan Yan was almost on the verge of bursting into tears, but seeing his determined look, she felt relieved.
She could only grit her teeth and endure it.
He nodded solemnly.
Zhu Feng raised his head and looked at the sky outside. Dusk was falling and the whole world was slowly becoming dark.
After a while, the last group of people sent by the Si family returned.
Still no news.
At this moment, Nan Yan felt like she was about to collapse.
However, the hand that had been holding hers exerted a little more force, holding her tighter.
He said in a deep voice: "I said, don't be afraid."
Nan Yan's eyes were filled with tears, and she twitched slightly as she turned to look at him.
Zhu Feng said calmly, "Wait a little longer."
“…”
He said wait, so we just have to wait.
Don’t be fooled by how scary the title of Imperial Concubine sounds. In fact, it only gives you a little power in the harem.
Once you leave the palace, you can't do anything.
All we can do is wait.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and intertwined her fingers with his.
Finally, even Gu Tingchun, Si Muyun and the others came back. Everyone was very cautious, fearing that they would offend Si Nanyue.
Just as it was getting dark, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
Nan Yan raised her head in panic and saw Ye Zheng walking in with a group of people.
He looked like he had traveled a lot, and his face was covered in dust. He said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty!"
"how?"
"I just checked at all nine gates. The soldiers guarding the city said that when the gates were opened this morning, someone who looked like Madam Si did leave Jinling City."
“……!”
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes widened immediately.
I hurriedly asked, "Is she alone?"
Ye Zheng turned to look at her and shook his head: "No."
“…”
"She was taken away."
"What?"
Nan Yan's heart sank.
Ye Zheng said, "The soldiers guarding the city said that several men, apparently quite a few, took her out of Jinling City. It seems they were heading north."
“……!”
Nan Yan took a deep breath.
Zhu Feng asked, "Do you know who took her away?"
Ye Zheng shook his head: "Because it was still dark, the city guards didn't notice it."
“…”
"But judging by their accents, they don't sound like locals."
“…”
"Likely someone from the Kingdom of Neng."
