Chapter 266 Will I Kill You?
"No, I just want to ask where he went so I can help look for him."
"You're pretty enthusiastic then."
"I've always been very enthusiastic, you just found out?"
Fu Zhaoning sat back at the dining table and picked up the chopsticks again.
Xiao Lanyuan saw her action and asked, "Are you still not full?"
"I'm eight-tenths full. Eat a little more. Wasn't you interrupted by Qing Yunxiao just now?" She picked up another piece of fish and put it into her mouth.
Xiao Lanyuan came over and reached out to grab her chopsticks, "Just eat until you are 70% full at night."
"I won't!" Fu Zhaoning immediately avoided his hand. "I'm very busy every day, and I consume a lot of energy. If I don't eat enough, I will be too hungry at night."
Xiao Lanyuan watched her quickly pick up another piece of fried tofu and shook his head helplessly.
"Aren't you full already? Now you can tell me what you found out. I'll listen while I eat."
"You think this king is your spy?"
It was just like he was sitting there handling official business while listening to the spy's report.
"Don't be so picky."
Fu Zhaoning looked at him. He was wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen. But he didn't know if he would feel depressed now that he had lost a token of his love.
"Fu Lin is definitely not a daughter of the Lin family."
Xiao Lanyuan didn't keep her in suspense any longer and told her the answer directly.
Although Fu Zhaoning was mentally prepared, he was still a little stunned when he heard him actually give a positive answer.
"Although I want to wait for Fu Lin to come back and find out what happened back then, and although she is very likely the enemy I want to get rid of, I don't need to make up things like this, so you can trust the results of my investigation."
Fu Zhaoning let out a light breath.
"I didn't say I didn't believe you."
"So you just believe it?"
"Believe me, as you said, you have nothing to lie to me about this kind of thing, and it won't do you any good. Because if she is really sure that it is Shen Qiao, you will also have to face the Shen family, which is much more complicated than the Lin family, which has no foundation at all."
Xiao Lanyuan was a little surprised because she thought of this immediately.
"Are you still worried about me, whether I can deal with the Shen family? Or are you still worried about how the Shen family will fight against me?" Xiao Lanyuan looked at her.
Unexpectedly, she was not nervous at all. She picked up another emerald white jade meatball and put it into her mouth, eating it with a very satisfied look.
"As a human being, why do you think so much? These things are not something I need to worry about right now. My mother hasn't appeared yet. It's hard to say whether she is really still alive. If I start to worry so much, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"
"You are quite open-minded."
"Of course." Fu Zhaoning finally finished his meal and put down his chopsticks. "I think you are more worried than me now. For example, if the token is missing, what will you do?"
When asked this, Xiao Lanyuan stood up, turned around and walked to the door, "We must find it."
After saying that, he walked out.
Fu Zhaoning sat in the room with his eyes wide open. Is he so anxious?
"Is he so nervous that he has to go out and look for it himself?"
This token should be very important to him, right?
Fu Zhaoning didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when she was about to return to Jianjia Courtyard, the night wind blew and she felt a chill.
It’s too cold.
With Xiao Lanyuan's body, if he were to walk outside like this all night, he would probably collapse tomorrow.
She stopped, gritted her teeth and walked back. When she reached the gate, she waved towards a dark shadow of a tree and said, "Come here and ask me a question."
The secret guard who was completely integrated with the tree shadow and even held his breath: "..."
No, he was hiding well, so why did the princess find him so easily?
He reluctantly stepped out from the shadows, "Princess."
"Xiao Lanyuan just left the palace, right?"
She just saw him walk out of the dining room, but didn't see where he went, so she guessed that he probably went out.
Since he could not sit still like this, the token might be really important to him.
"Replying to Princess, yes."
"He brought secret guards?"
"Six."
"Have you gone back to get the cloak?" Fu Zhaoning asked again.
The secret guard paused and said, "No."
That means going out in a real hurry.
Fu Zhaoning sighed, "I'm going to his room to get a cloak and a hand warmer."
"yes."
She had to tell the secret guards to prevent them from stopping her later. After all, Xiao Lanyuan asked her to move out after the wedding and didn't want her to live there at all. She was very clear about her position and could not be considered his real wife.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the secret guard immediately agreed, which surprised Fu Zhaoning.
"You won't stop me?"
"The prince said today that the princess can come and go."
The secret guard's words stunned Fu Zhaoning again.
What was Xiao Lanyuan doing? Was he testing her? Was he trying to probe her?
But she didn't think about it any further. She went to his room and got a cloak and a hand warmer. Seeing him using the hand warmer while sitting in the carriage today, she knew that he might be feeling cold again.
After picking up the things, she quickly left the palace.
Eleven Thirteen followed.
"Miss, are you going to see the prince?"
"Why are you two here?"
"The prince asked us to stay with the princess at all times."
Fu Zhaoning shook his head and said, "I'm going to find him. You don't have to follow me."
But Eleven Thirteen insisted on following, so Fu Zhaoning had no choice but to agree.
After Xiao Lanyuan came out, he quickly found Qing Yunxiao. Qing Yunxiao and Qing Yi and a few others were searching in an alley in the city. They were holding lanterns and had changed into ordinary clothes.
It was not yet curfew, and there were still some lights and voices not far away.
"Your Highness, this is the place where Patriarch Xiaoqing thought was most likely to have lost something." Qing hurried over when he saw Xiao Lanyuan coming.
Qing Yunxiao didn't expect Xiao Lanyuan to come as well. He walked over and whispered, "But I've come here three times and found nothing."
"Where have you been living these days?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"It's in the Ruyun Inn in the east of the city." Qing Yunxiao said, "But I have searched the inn many times in the past few days, and checked every person living there."
Xiao Lanyuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and turned around and walked towards the east of the city.
Looking at his cold back, Qing Yunxiao hissed and turned to Qing Yi, "If I really can't find the token, will King Juan kill me?"
Qing Yi also had a blank expression on his face, "Yes."
That token is very important to the prince!
Qing Yunxiao suddenly had a sad face. If he had known earlier, he would not have accepted the position of the head of the family. If his grandfather was still alive, it would have been great if he had come in person.
In the darkness, a black shadow crept over silently and stuck to the corner of the wall.
Even in front of masters like Qing Yi, he didn't emit any aura at all.
The wind blew, and the conversation between Qing Yi and Qing Yunxiao was heard.
"The Qing family's token of trust was lost. Shouldn't Patriarch Hu know about this? Also, the emperor shouldn't be told about it either, right? Will they find an excuse not to return the token of trust?"
"Master Xiaoqing, you better hurry up and look for it."
