Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shuang'er recognized the familiar Qilin mask at a glance, opened her arms and acted coquettishly towards Qiu Liang, asking him to hug her: "Qiu Qiu!"
"......!" Seeing this, Qiu Liang was afraid that Xiao Shuang'er would break free from the wet nurse's arms and hug his thighs again, so he ran out in a flash.
Shi Zairong couldn't help but sigh again while combing her hair: "Still the same as always, running really fast."
Tang Chen said with a smile: "Hahaha, excuse me for laughing, let's go too!"
Shi Zairong took a bronze mirror and looked at himself up and down. After confirming that he was as handsome as ever, he nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, I'm almost done. I smell like milk, which is quite pleasant. I wonder if Wang Yanzhou will envy me?"
Tang Chen smiled and replied, "It's very likely. He won't have much chance to hold these two babies. Moms, you two should coax the children to take a nap first."
"yes."
After arriving at the main hall, Shi Zairong thought that Tang Chen, who loved to join in the fun, would definitely follow him in. Unexpectedly, when they reached the door, Tang Chen stopped in his tracks, somewhat uncharacteristically: "Okay, I'll see you off here. From now on, feel free to chat about whatever you want, and don't worry about me."
Although her words had no impact on the subsequent conversation, they did make Shi Zairong feel a lot more relaxed. Regardless, it was reassuring to have someone who understood and appreciated her inner struggles. "Thank you for your understanding."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "No, no, you're welcome. After all, you're also atoning for your sins now."
The hidden meaning in the second half of this sentence made Shi Zairong feel a little helpless. The implication was that he should be more cautious when making requests and remember that he was asking for a favor: "...Alas, I think I thanked you too early."
Tang Chen urged, "Haha, come in quickly. I have to go take care of my own things. See you later."
"See you later."
...After Tang Chen left, the main hall door was tightly shut for almost two hours due to Shi Zairong's arrival. When Shi Zairong and Wang Yanzhou emerged from the hall, looking a bit tired, Tang Chen also came over. "Oh, is everything over? I'm here just in time. Dinner is ready. Shall we start eating now?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and nodded: "Well, serve the food."
Tang Chen had prepared the menu for dinner early in the morning and had it prepared. After everyone was seated, Wang Qin was planning to have the dishes served, but when Tang Chen suddenly asked, he quickly asked the kitchen to wait.
Without waiting for Tang Chen to count the number of people, he noticed that a beautiful woman in red was missing: "Where's Hong Yu? Why hasn't she come yet? Didn't you call her to the military camp today? Why haven't you let her back for dinner?"
Wang Yanzhou was also confused and said, "No one asked her today. Didn't we agree to let her accompany you today?"
Tang Chen was slightly taken aback. "Strange, she hasn't been seen for a whole day. Where has this little girl gone?" After saying that, she thought Qiu Liang stood on a high place all day and night and might know, so she turned and asked, "Qiu Liang, did you see Hong Yu today?"
Qiu Liang replied, "No."
Shi Zairong suddenly became nervous after hearing what they said. This was a critical moment. He had previously sent the Living Dead to harass the Qingliang Valley military camp, and they had dealt with it, but they were worried that Xiahou Qing might be making some covert moves. If Hong Yu was in danger, that would be disastrous.
Shi Zairong, whose heart was already swirling with turbulent waves and unable to calm down, could only pretend to be calm on the surface and suggested, "I think we should send someone to look for her. It's really worrying that a girl hasn't returned at this time."
Tang Chen agreed with this suggestion: "That's great. You've all been tired all day. Eat first. I'll take people to look for them. It's only been a day, they should still be in the valley."
Shi Zairong said, "You are a woman, so let's go."
Tang Chen patted the table lightly and said, "Then let's not eat anymore. Waiting for one person is the same as waiting. Let's just go find the person together. The more people we have, the faster we can find him."
The days in summer are slightly longer than those in other seasons. By dusk, an hour had passed since they discovered that Hong Yu was missing and began looking for him.
They all made their way from the Qingliang Palace to the small town below. When they met at the town entrance, Tang Chen and Shi Zairong, who had found nothing, anxiously asked, "How are things going over there?"
Wang Nianqing, who had volunteered to help search for her, said, "We found nothing. It's really strange. She's not at the palace or the hot spring villa, and no one in town has seen her. I've also sent people to inquire at the entrance of the valley, but they haven't seen her or any other strange people leave."
Just as he finished speaking, unexpectedly, when everyone was clueless, Qiu Liang came back with some news: "There is news!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhou immediately asked, "Has anyone seen her? Where did she go?"
Qiu Liang replied, "It was Liuying, who was beside Princess Shuyang, who saw it. She said that they hurried up Xiangyun Peak early in the morning."
Tang Chen recalled the location of Xiangyun Peak and the thatched cottage and said, "To get to Xiangyun Peak, the road in front of the thatched cottage is the only way up and down the mountain. Did Liuying also see her coming down the mountain?"
Qiu Liang said that when he came from the thatched cottage to look for them, he didn't hear Liu Ying say that they had already gone down the mountain. At this time, maybe they were still on the mountain. "That's not the case."
Shi Zairong then suggested, "Then let's go look for her on Xiangyun Peak. It's getting dark soon, and it's really not safe for her to be alone on the mountain."
Qiu Liang didn't quite believe Hong Yu would be in danger. However, some of the things Liu Ying said made him curious, so he added, "I heard from Liu Ying that she looked a little panicked, and there was no one chasing her. She must be rushing to meet someone or to do something important."
Now no one had the time to think about what she was going to do on Xiangyun Peak. They just wanted to find the person safely as soon as possible.
When everyone was busy going up the mountain with torches to search for people, halfway up the mountain, Tang Chen saw a small red dot shining in Henan: "Hey, look, is that the Red Edict?"
Hong Yu, who was a little absent-minded after coming down from the mountain, was walking slowly on the mountain path in the night like a homeless ghost. He slowly came to his senses when he heard a familiar voice and noisy footsteps approaching him.
