Chapter 285 My Life is in Your Hands
So it was clear that he didn't want them to know what the token looked like.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at Hu Jiatai. He seemed very loyal and honest, but no one knew how honest he was actually.
At least in Xiao Lanyuan's opinion, he was not being honest when he spoke like that.
"So you came to Prince Jun's mansion to look for someone because you suspect that I have hidden Patriarch Hu?"
"No, no, no, Your Highness has misunderstood. Of course, I dare not doubt Your Highness like this. But since my father said that he would come to Prince Jun's Mansion to deliver a token of trust, then of course I can only come to the palace to ask."
"Butler, have you seen Patriarch Hu today?" Xiao Lanyuan asked the butler.
"My Lord, I have never seen it."
"Call all the guards who are on patrol today."
"yes."
All the guards who were patrolling today were called, and Xiao Lanyuan asked them about their situation in front of Hu Jiatai.
"Your Highness, I am responsible for patrolling outside the palace. No outsiders have approached the palace today, and no one has entered our patrol area."
"Your Highness, we are responsible for patrolling the mansion, and we haven't seen any outsiders or suspicious people in the mansion today." said another guard.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at Hu Jiatai.
"Did you hear that?"
When Hu Jiatai was in their area, the Hu family had a very high status. It can be said that the emperor was far away and the sky was high, so the status of the Hu family was very high there, so everyone he met would speak to him with great respect.
Even the local officials there had to call him "Uncle Hu" when speaking to him.
Now that he had come to the capital and was standing in front of the royal family for the first time, he felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Xiao Lanyuan being so nonchalant towards him, his tone clearly sounding a bit condescending.
Moreover, Prince Jun called so many guards over and lined them up in front of him. The guards in the prince's palace were different from those in ordinary families. Their spirit and aura were obviously different. Seeing them lined up in front of him made him feel a sense of oppression.
He felt that Prince Jun did it on purpose.
Now he was getting a little restless.
"I don't doubt Prince Jun's intention, but now my father has been lost along with the token, and our Hu family doesn't have enough manpower here, so can Prince Jun send someone to help find him?"
"Looking for someone, yes."
As soon as Hu Jiatai left Prince Jun's Mansion, Xiao Lanyuan immediately sent someone to follow him.
"Be careful, Hu Jiatai's internal energy is very strong, he is a master of internal martial arts, don't let him find out."
"Yes, Your Highness." The secret guard followed.
Fu Zhaoning came out from behind and looked at him.
"This token is really full of twists and turns. I don't know what I can get after collecting all three tokens."
"It doesn't matter. I don't have much time left anyway. If I make good use of the limited time, maybe I won't feel so empty." Xiao Lanyuan replied to her.
Fu Zhaoning was stunned.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, because she didn't expect Xiao Lanyuan to have such thoughts.
But when she saw Xiao Lanyuan taking off his mask and his desolate expression, she couldn't help but blurt out, "Who said you don't have much time left? Don't you still have this miraculous doctor? I always like to snatch people from the King of Hell!"
"Um?"
Xiao Lanyuan looked at her and saw her serious expression. He laughed and patted her head. "Okay, then I'll leave my life to you."
No, why would I give my life to her?
Fu Zhaoning reacted.
Didn't she promise to continue to treat him? And she did it with all her heart.
Can they still go that long together?
"I'll keep this for you too." Xiao Lanyuan took out the iron hairpin and handed it to her.
"The token that Master Chi Chen gave me before was already here with me, and this one is also here with me. Aren't you afraid that I will find the one that Patriarch Hu has? I will collect all three tokens first and get the things?"
"No."
Xiao Lanyuan answered without thinking.
"Why?" Fu Zhaoning didn't understand.
"Ningning, I understand you to some extent. No matter what kind of past and entanglement we have, your character is there. There are some things you disdain to do."
Fu Zhaoning bit his lower lip and said, "Hmph, I'm going back."
She turned and left.
What he said actually moved her inexplicably. Moreover, he called her Ningning?
Calling Ningning would remind her of the entanglement between the two of them in her bathroom before.
When he was aroused, he would call Ningning in a low voice.
After going out, the cold wind blew in his face, cooling down Fu Zhaoning's slightly hot face instantly.
She patted her cheek, not knowing what the relationship between her and Xiao Lanyuan was now.
But no one knows what will happen next, so they can only take it one step at a time.
Fu Zhaoning pulled his cloak tighter and got on the carriage.
Chen Shan asked, "Miss, are you going home?"
Fu Zhaoning responded yes, but after the carriage drove for a while, she suddenly thought of another thing, "Wait a minute."
"Do you know where Fu Er and his people live now?"
"Know."
"Go over there and take a look."
She wants to find Hai Changjun.
If Patriarch Hu really disappeared, it was probably because of the token. People who wanted the token would of course come looking for the other two. Hai Changjun and the girl called Jiniang came looking for the token last time, so Patriarch Hu's disappearance might also be related to them.
The person Hai Changjun met in the capital was Madam Fu San, and no one knew whether she would stay with Madam Fu San after being hit by a hidden weapon.
The carriage arrived at the destination, but was stuck at the entrance of an alley.
"Miss, these are all small alleys, and the houses inside are also very small. The carriage can't pass through."
"Miss, let me go in and take a look. This place is full of people of all kinds. It's not safe." Eleven flashed out. To put it bluntly, this place is a slum.
A beautiful girl like Fu Zhaoning could easily run into danger walking in such a dark alley.
"It's okay. I'll go check it out."
Fu Zhaoning got off the carriage and was about to enter the alley when a scholar walked by. A faint smell came with the wind, and she stopped immediately.
"It seems that there is no need to go in."
She watched the scholar walking forward with a basket of things.
"Chen Shan, just drive slowly and keep up."
Fu Zhaoning had already started to catch up with the scholar. He turned a corner on the street ahead and entered a residential area farther away from the slums.
There is a clear distinction between that side and this side, but it is not a wealthy area. It can only be considered a place where people with a decent financial situation live.
Fu Zhaoning followed him and saw him enter a small courtyard.
"I'm going in to take a look. You wait outside." Fu Zhaoning said to Eleven.
Eleven had also seen the scholar's appearance just now, and he felt that the scholar was elegant and handsome, a man who could make girls laugh in the capital.
What is the lady doing following him?
