Chapter 284 Someone Disappeared Again
Qing Yunxiao waited until the afternoon before arriving at the palace.
When Fu Zhaoning saw him, he looked a little depressed.
But when he saw Xiao Lanyuan, Qing Yunxiao immediately shouted, "Prince Jun, Prince Jun, I have figured out where the token was lost! I once encountered a few hooligans who wanted to rob an old man, but I didn't expect that the medicine made by the old man was very powerful. A packet of medicine powder knocked them all down!"
Cough cough.
Fu Zhaoning almost coughed when he heard this.
Qing Yunxiao finally remembered!
Such a handsome boy, looking so immortal, his brain is really not working well, I just remembered it now!
"Are you good at making medicine?"
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at Fu Zhaoning.
"What does he look like?"
"He looks like an old doctor..." Qing Yunxiao described.
Xiao Lanyuan looked at Fu Zhaoning again.
Under his gaze, Fu Zhaoning sighed, took out the jade flute and handed it to Qing Yunxiao.
“I found it.”
"Ah? Ahhh! My jade flute! This is it!"
Qing Yunxiao took it and jumped up excitedly.
Without thinking, he unscrewed the jade flute in front of them, pulled out the iron hairpin inside, and held it in front of Xiao Lanyuan.
"Prince Jun, look, here it is, the token is this!"
Xiao Lanyuan moved his gaze from Fu Zhaoning's face to the iron hairpin, and he took it.
"Is this the token that the Emperor Emeritus entrusted to your Qing family to keep?"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
When Qing Yunxiao saw him take the hairpin, he immediately retracted his hand as if it was burned, and then took a few steps back.
He looked relieved.
"Great, great, I have finally completed my mission, Prince Jun, I have already handed the token to you!"
Great, his mission will be accomplished if he hands over this token.
"I really couldn't eat or sleep well these days, and I was almost worried to death! God bless, I found the things back."
After Qing Yunxiao said this, he looked at Fu Zhaoning again, "But, Princess Jun, since you picked it up, why didn't you return it to me earlier?"
It made him worried for half a month.
Fu Zhaoning coughed and said, "I didn't know the token was inside. What I wanted to say last time was too late."
Qing Yi came back to his senses and said quickly, "This is my fault. The princess had told me to tell you a few days ago that she had something to return to you, but you were out of town, so I thought I would tell you when you came back. Anyway, the thing would not be lost in the princess's hands."
"Qingyi, how could you do this?"
"Master Xiaoqing, because you described the appearance of the token, the princess was listening at the time. If what she picked up was a token, she would have said it long ago. She didn't say it, which proves that what I want to return to you is not a token, so I don't feel anxious."
Qing Yi said, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "No, Master Xiaoqing, you have been asking us to find the iron hairpin as a keepsake, but you didn't tell us you were looking for the jade flute."
How did they know that the iron hairpin was placed in the jade flute?
Qing Yunxiao was stunned.
It took him a while to react, and he said stupidly, "Really? So even if you saw Yu Di, you wouldn't take it seriously?"
"Of course."
They have been looking for something that looks like the iron hairpin he described.
Qing Yunxiao laughed and blushed. "I, I didn't think of it for a moment, because the jade flute is not important, what is important is the token, so I have been thinking about finding the token, and I even forgot that it was hidden in the jade flute."
Everyone was speechless.
Is this possible?
Xiao Lanyuan said to Fu Zhaoning, "Did you see that? You can't judge a person by their appearance alone. Some people may look like fallen immortals, but they are actually fools."
Fu Zhaoning couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"How can you say that about Patriarch Xiaoqing?"
"I didn't say that about him, you said it," Xiao Lanyuan said.
Qing Yunxiao snorted, "Alright, I admit I'm stupid. But, Prince Jun, I've given you my token, which is a big favor to you, right? You have to take me in for a while, I don't want to go back yet."
"Qingyi, arrange a guest room for him." Xiao Lanyuan was not stingy, "Also, go find the people from the Hu family and ask them to send the token over tomorrow morning."
"yes."
"Prince Jun, the old head of the Hu family has been in the capital for almost a month, and he has not yet handed over the token. Does the Hu family have any ideas?" Qing Yunxiao said.
Xiao Lanyuan didn't say anything.
Qing Yunxiao looked at him and continued, "Anyway, I heard from my grandfather that if these three tokens were gathered together, they should be related to a big secret, or they might be the place where the treasure is hidden. If you get the tokens, you will definitely be rich enough to rival a country. The Hu family has been going downhill like our Qing family in recent years. If someone in the Qing family has some ulterior motives, the Hu family will definitely be the same."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Xiaoqing. I know what's going on."
Just an hour after Xiao Lanyuan finished speaking, the secret guard came hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty! The old master of the Hu family has disappeared, and now everyone in the Hu family is looking for him."
"Missing?"
"Yes, it is said that Patriarch Hu went out alone early this morning to deliver the token to Prince Jun's Mansion, but he has not returned yet."
"Your Highness," the housekeeper also rushed over, "Hu Jiatai from the Hu family comes to ask to see Your Highness."
Qing Yi frowned, "Your Majesty, could it be that the father and son are playing a trick?"
"Go and have a look."
Xiao Lanyuan put on a mask and went to the front hall.
Hu Jiatai looked anxious, and when he saw Prince Jun, he hurried over to greet him, "Hu Jiatai greets Prince Jun. Prince Jun, please forgive my anxiety, but I want to ask, has my father been to Prince Jun's mansion today?"
"No." Xiao Lanyuan said.
"That's strange! My father said early this morning that he would send a token of his love, but he didn't come, and he didn't go back either!"
"You mean what did I do to him?"
"No, no, no, Prince Jun, I definitely don't mean that. I'm just worried and anxious right now. The token is still with my father!"
"So, the token disappeared along with Patriarch Hu?"
"This, this, this, what should I do?"
"I also want to ask, you have been in the capital for so many days, and you have been looking for excuses to delay the return of the token. What is the reason?"
"No, we just want to wait for Master Qing to come and return the two tokens to King Jun at the same time. Our two families can also serve as witnesses to prove that the other party has returned the tokens, so that there will be no ambiguity in the future."
Hu Jiatai said seriously, "We really think so, and we are also cautious. Could it be that Prince Jun suspects us because of this?"
"So, your caution means that the head of the family and the token are missing?" Xiao Lanyuan asked back.
Hu Jiatai paused.
"What does the Hu family's token look like?" Xiao Lanyuan asked again.
"Please forgive me, Prince Jun. My father has been keeping the token himself and never told us, so I don't know either."
