Chapter 735 Li Sheng is missing

Si Linglong grew up with Brother Ba and has no real family.

Even though she knew clearly that she was not the real Si Linglong, after meeting this nominal brother and her nominal father, Si Linglong inevitably regarded them as family members.

In other words, she felt the presence of family in them.

It was not until Si Jinyu got into trouble that she connected all the things together and suddenly understood Si Jinyu's arrangement.

Perhaps the Si family had been targeting King Li from the very beginning.

Whether it was expanding the Si family's business to Yongjing, donating money to help her enter the palace, or contacting the Queen Mother to find a backer for her...

The Si family, or rather Si Jinyu, arranged everything step by step, and only when everything was ready did they finally take action against King Li.

But what kind of hatred does the Si family have with King Li?

What Si Linglong could figure out, Helian Yue could naturally understand. He reached out and touched the head next to his chest, and said,

"I will find him, and I will find him before the King's men do."

This is the greatest assurance I can give her right now.

Even if Si Jinyu is guilty, he will never be allowed to fall into the hands of King Li.

Si Linglong tightened her grip around his waist, and after a long while, she finally raised her head and looked at him.

"Ayue, have you found out why my brother wanted to assassinate King Li?"

Si Linglong wanted to know what kind of hatred could make Si Jinyu bet the entire Si family on revenge against King Li.

Helian Yue looked at her and just shook his head, "The Si family and Prince Li have never had any contact in the past."

Ever since she mentioned last time that the Si family might have a "hidden mission" in letting her enter the palace, although he didn't take her words as a princess of a fallen country to heart, he still asked the secret guards to investigate the past of the Si family.

The Si family had always been doing business in Lingnan and had never had any contact with King Li.

If there was any, it was only when Prince Li passed by the Huai River a few years ago when he was ordered to inspect river works. But he was just passing by, and Prince Li had never had any contact with the Si family.

It can be said that Si Jinyu's sudden assassination of King Li was not only confusing to Si Linglong, but also to Helian Yue.

As they were talking here, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. It seemed especially quiet in the quiet night, but the footsteps were stopped by someone outside before they got closer.

Si Linglong asked in a crisp voice, "What happened?"

Having received some bad news today, Si Linglong didn't want anything bad to happen again.

But at this moment, no one dares to hide what has happened.

Hearing Si Linglong's question, the noise outside paused for a moment, and soon, Qinglu hurried in with a serious expression.

"My Lady, Li Sheng is missing."

She said, "The servants had been waiting outside and thought that the person had fallen asleep, but when they went in to check, the person was gone. The eunuchs guarding the gates of Yuxiu Palace also asked, and apart from the emperor, no one else had come in or out..."

Si Linglong was not too surprised to hear the news that Li Sheng was missing. Or rather, she had a premonition in her heart.

Even though she said that her brother sent the man into the palace just to protect her, but knowing that something happened to the Si family and her brother's whereabouts were unknown, how could Li Sheng really just ignore it?

If possible, she also wanted to leave the palace to find someone.

But she knew it was impossible.

It was easier for Li Sheng to leave the palace than for her. She just had to transform back into her original form.

Thinking of her leaving the palace alone, Si Linglong was indeed a little worried, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

With Li Sheng's sense of smell, perhaps he could find his brother in time.

Thinking of this, Si Linglong was silent for a moment, and then said,

"Don't spread the news yet. Just say that Li Sheng is sick and recuperating in the house. Try to keep it a secret in the palace."

Since we can't find the person, we can only place our hopes on her.

But she couldn't possibly let Li Sheng stay outside alone.

After thinking for a while, she turned her gaze back to Helian Yue in front of her.

"Ayue, I want to send someone to go out of the palace to look for someone for me, is that okay?"

…

Helian Yue went to Yuxiu Palace at night and stayed there for only two quarters of an hour before leaving. This incident did not attract much attention from the harem.

Therefore, the fact that there was an extra eunuch among the palace servants accompanying Helian Yue when he left did not attract anyone's attention.

Only after leaving the harem did Helian Yue turn around and say to the young eunuch,

"You will leave the palace tonight, and after you find Li Sheng, stay by her side and make sure she is safe."

The young eunuch was Xiang Tian. At this moment, there was not much expression on the young man's stern face. He just nodded slightly when he heard the words, and agreed.

Helian Yue handed him another small portrait and said, "This is the small portrait painted by Concubine Lang. If you can't find the person, it's the same to look for it."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Tian took the small photo, unfolded it, and fell silent.

What was drawn on the paper looked like a little fox with long brown and red hair.
