The newly upgraded system unfolded a light blue map panel in front of her, with the location accurate to within one meter of her.
She looked at the bright golden logo and a scream burst out of her throat!
"Shh! Don't scream!" The person who came was dressed like a palace maid, but her clothes did not fit her well. The light pink dress made her look a little out of place.
She covered Bai Zhirou's mouth with her hand, and her scream was stuck in her mouth.
Her Majesty the Queen Mother!
How did she get here?
Bai Zhirou blinked in surprise. She seemed to have not expected to meet the empress dowager who was supposed to be in the Cining Palace in this desolate place.
At the same time, Mingcui couldn't find Bai Zhirou anywhere, so she had to ask Princess Rong for help.
"She wanted to run around on her own. I told her to stay in the wing quietly. Who can I blame?"
"Besides, her legs are on her body, how can I tie her up?"
Princess Rong's words made Ming Cui angry and anxious. "My Lady Princess, our Princess Mingzhu is your biological daughter. Aren't you worried at all when she gets lost?"
Xia Yuning stepped forward and helped Mingcui up. "I know you two have a deep bond as master and servant, but if word gets out about Sister Zhirou going missing, it will be detrimental to her reputation. Please don't spread the word."
Mingcui looked at her in shock.
Do these noble ladies in the capital value reputation more than life?
"Don't worry, we will definitely send someone out to look for her." Xia Yuning helped Ming Cui tidy up the messy hair around her ears, and she looked gentle and peaceful.
Mingcui walked out of the room, still in a daze.
But she didn't believe that the people in Prince Rong's Mansion would help her find her own lady!
She must find it herself!
The anxious Mingcui rushed around the huge Puguang Temple like a headless fly, looking for someone.
But everyone she met said they had never seen it, and she was so anxious that her eyes were blurred with tears.
"I heard that your fiancée became the adopted daughter of Prince Rong's Mansion? Her status has plummeted!" A young man said jokingly.
"You are wrong, she is no longer my fiancée. Whether she is an adopted daughter or not has nothing to do with me." The person who spoke was Shen Zhao. Today, he was wearing a round-necked brocade robe and a jade crown to tie his hair, looking like a dignified gentleman.
"It's really interesting. A biological daughter who has been living away from home for fourteen years is actually not as good as an adopted daughter. Let me say, Prince Rong is really confused." He had heard about this a long time ago and sneered.
Although Chen Zhao was still here, his soul had already flown to the cricket fighting competition.
Last time, his Ruhua lost to someone else's general, and he has been in a slump these days.
He must take Ruhua with him to conquer everyone again and take back all the honors he deserves!
Before he could finish imagining the future, he was brought back to his senses by a scolding.
"Who is it?" asked the noble young man.
Then a guard came over with a maid.
"Your Highness, I just saw her acting suspiciously there. She must have some hidden secret!"
"I didn't! I came to look for my Princess Mingzhu, but she's missing!" Ming Cui was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else.
Is reputation really more important than life?
When Shen Zhao heard Ming Cui's words, he recognized her and said, "If I remember correctly, you are the maidservant beside Miss Bai, right?"
Ming Cui looked up and saw Chen Zhao. She stopped struggling and just cried and begged Chen Zhao to find Bai Zhirou.
Chen Zhao and the Third Prince exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to speak, they heard the voice of Nanny Hongyu rushing over in a hurry.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, the Empress Dowager is missing!" Hongyu was calmer than Mingcui. After all, she was an old lady in the palace.
But if the Empress Dowager is lost, even if she has ten thousand heads, they will not be enough to chop off.
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince suddenly jumped up from the stone bench.
"What do you mean missing? Have you looked for everything?"
"Yes! I brought people to search Puguang Temple inside and out, but we didn't find anyone! What should we do if we can't find the Empress Dowager?" Thinking of this, even Hongyu, who was calm, shed tears.
The third prince immediately led people to seal off the entire Puguang Temple, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.
Princess Rong was about to take Xia Yuning out to the main hall to listen to the sutras, but was stopped by the guards. She immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Mother, did something big happen in this temple?" Xia Yuning grabbed Princess Rong's hand anxiously.
Princess Rong patted the back of her hand and said softly, "It's okay. Let's wait in the room."
Fortunately, they were all looking for someone, so they split into two groups. The third prince led his men to search the temple, leaving no corner untouched.
Chen Zhao and Ming Cui led their men to search the mountain road on the other side.
As time goes by, the sun gradually moves westward.
Ming Cui kept shouting and searching, not caring that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
Shen Zhao finally realized the seriousness of the matter and frowned.
They searched all the way but didn't see a single person. Moreover, the place was overgrown with weeds. The guards had already gone in to look for him but there was no sign of him. They didn't know where the man had gone.
On the other side, Bai Zhirou learned from the empress dowager's words that she came to Puguang Temple today with Concubine Guo, and she and Hongyu dressed up as palace maids. Concubine Guo had no idea that they were there.
"I'm awesome, right? No matter how smart Miss Guo is, she didn't even know I followed her out."
"It's much more interesting outside than in the palace!" The Queen Mother said proudly, stroking her crooked bun.
Bai Zhirou held her forehead with her hand as a headache arose. She could see that the Empress Dowager's favorite thing to do was cosplay. Today she cosplayed as a eunuch, tomorrow she cosplayed as a palace maid, and who knew who she would cosplay as in the future.
This childish innocence is really hard to guard against!
And who is Guo Yatou?
Is she also a queen in the palace?
Bai Zhirou opened the map and took a look. She saw that there were indeed many golden dots in Puguang Temple. One of them was Guo, who seemed to be a queen in the palace.
I guess she must be very anxious now.
Bai Zhirou thought that Ming Cui would be worried sick if she disappeared, so she might as well go back with the Empress Dowager.
But the Empress Dowager seemed to be in a playful mood and didn't seem to want to go back.
"If you, Empress Dowager, were to disappear, everyone would be extremely worried. Why don't you come back with me?" Bai Zhirou came over to support her. "Think of the Emperor and Nanny Hongyu. They must be searching for you everywhere."
The Queen Mother raised the corner of her lips, "I want to go play! Will you play with me?"
Bai Zhirou smiled bitterly with a headache, "How about this, you just play hide-and-seek with them and see when they can find us."
When the Empress Dowager heard the word hide and seek, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Hide and seek is great! I love playing hide and seek!" The Queen Mother clapped her hands and smiled.
