Chapter 488 He is so handsome again
To everyone in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, "The old lady is missing" is not much better than "The old lady is not well".
After all, the old lady was old and now she was bedridden. She had at least four maids serving her at all times, not to mention the nearly a dozen servants in the yard outside the house.
Under what circumstances could an old lady, a living person, suddenly disappear?
The first thing that Marquis Wu'an thought of was that some bad guys had broken into the mansion and kidnapped the old lady!
"Have you searched carefully?" The wife of Marquis Wu'an asked nervously. The maid almost cried. "I have searched everywhere, inside and outside the yard, but I just can't find it..."
Wu Anhou's face was extremely ugly. He was about to yell angrily, but when he realized that the emperor was right beside him, he could only endure it and spoke in a deep voice,
"Your Majesty, the old lady has disappeared without a reason. It is possible that someone is plotting something bad. Please return to the palace immediately. I will come to the palace to apologize to Your Majesty after I find the old lady."
Helian Yue's face didn't look good either.
He came to visit her in person when he heard that the old lady was seriously ill, which showed that he truly respected her. Now he hasn't even seen her yet, but heard that she was missing in his own house. It's simply ridiculous.
When Helian Yue looked at Wu'an Hou, he felt that this man was really incompetent.
When Marquis Wu'an met the emperor's gaze, he felt extremely miserable and hated the villain who dared to kidnap the old lady.
Especially at a time like today.
But Helian Yue obviously had no intention of arguing with Marquis Wu'an at this time. The only way to deal with it now was to find the person first.
"Futai, send a message to the imperial guards, ordering them to follow the guards of Wu'an Marquis's mansion and search for the whereabouts of the old lady. Also order the chief of the city patrol department to come to see me."
Helian Yue's voice was as deep as a bell, carrying an unshakable pressure. He walked into the hall and sat down on the main seat. He said, "I will wait here until you find the person."
Although he decided to leave the palace to visit the old lady today on a spur of the moment basis, it is not impossible for him to know and make arrangements in advance. Even if someone wants to use the old lady to assassinate him, it depends on whether the other party has the ability to do so.
If someone with evil intentions can succeed in Yongjing City, then both the City Patrol Officer and the Imperial Guard Commander should have their jobs.
But the fact is that the old lady is missing. To be able to do such a thing so quietly, Helian Yue thought of King Cheng's gang of green-clad assassins.
I am more determined to stay now.
Si Linglong had not expected to find herself in such a tense situation out of the blue. She was not too worried about the so-called assassination plot. Instead, when she saw Helian Yue sitting there in a domineering manner after he finished speaking, her heart skipped a few beats at an inopportune time, and her inner feelings also jumped out uncontrollably.
[What if I'm a bit handsome...]
[Damn it! I'm impressed by his handsomeness again! ]
Helian Yue was still thinking about how to deal with this matter if it was related to King Cheng, but he suddenly heard Si Linglong's extremely honest voice. His eyes suddenly looked at her, and the murderous cold aura just now seemed to disappear in an instant, replaced by a faint smile in his eyes and brows that could not be hidden.
Si Linglong was suddenly embarrassed.
She glared at him again in embarrassment.
[What are you looking at? Just because you are handsome doesn’t mean you can lie! ]
Helian Yue was not angry.
On the contrary, I think the situation is getting better and better.
At least she was willing to admit that he was handsome and that she was attracted to him.
Reconciliation is too late.
Don't be in a hurry.
Marquis Wu'an was unaware of the secret conspiracy between the two. Seeing that the emperor was determined to stay, he immediately said in a deep voice that he would never let the emperor lose a single hair in his Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
Afterwards, all the people in Wu'an Marquis Mansion started to move.
Only the people brought by Helian Yue and Si Linglong were still sitting in the flower hall, waiting to see how this farce would eventually develop.
Even Helian Yue couldn't figure out why the person behind the scenes chose to kidnap the old lady, which was such a risky and ineffective method.
The more Helian couldn't understand something, the more confused Si Linglong would be.
She has never even seen the old lady.
I just have a feeling that this matter is not directed at A Yue.
But now that the old lady is missing, her plan to leave Wu'an Marquis Mansion to visit Xue Sha and Li Sheng is likely to be completely aborted.
Just as she was distracted, Si Linglong felt a white shadow flash quickly through the flower beds outside the flower hall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
[Huh?]
Helian Yue paid close attention to her doubts and subconsciously looked in the direction of her gaze.
The next second, a white shadow suddenly appeared from the window, and then quickly rushed towards Si Linglong...
