After saying this, he walked out of Prince Yu's Mansion and headed straight to the military camp to mobilize people.
In less than half an hour, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with officers and soldiers looking for people. They searched house by house and alley by alley, leaving no suspicious corner untouched.
After Luo Lan handed Lele to Ahong, he took Acai and went to the street to look for people.
Everyone searched the streets and alleys of the capital for a whole day. They did not miss any corner of the capital, but they still did not find the two children, nor did they see anyone with suspicious behavior. Those Chu people seemed to have evaporated from the world.
The matter involved the loss of royal heirs and could not be taken lightly. At noon, Luo Lan ordered someone to report the matter to the emperor. Upon hearing the news, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered Yu Dechang to lead people to dig three feet underground to find the two children.
As the sky gradually darkened, there was still no trace of the two children. Luo Lan, who had been running around on the streets all day, was now sitting in the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, wanting to cry but unable to, staring blankly at the door, hoping that An An and Huai Yu would suddenly appear there.
Liu Dechang and Yu Shiming sat on both sides, staring at the door with their bright eyes, waiting for good news.
Leng Ming felt guilty for losing his child and did not come back. He was still wandering aimlessly on the street with the police looking for people. This might be the most unforgettable birthday of his life.
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi, who also felt guilty, knelt down outside the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, hoping to make themselves feel better, but Luo Lan had no intention of caring about them.
When the people of the capital heard that two children were missing from Prince Yu's Mansion, they all came out to help look for them after dinner. With the concerted efforts of officials and citizens, even a fly could be found, but the two children seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, without a trace at all.
It was late at night, and no one was asleep in Prince Yu's mansion yet. Except for a few maids, all the other men had not returned.
Luo Lan sat there blankly all night until dawn. Liu Dechang sighed with some distress and said softly:
"Lan'er, go to sleep. You can't go on like this."
Hearing his father's words, Luo Lan, who had originally had a calm expression, suddenly twitched his lips a few times, and then tears as big as beans slid down his cheeks.
She didn't bother to wipe the tears flowing down her cheeks, and said self-reproachfully:
"It's all my fault. I didn't protect them. It's my fault as a mother. Why couldn't they just come to me when they had problems? Why did they have to go to the children?"
That night, she had already figured it out: the people who stole the two children must be the Chu people who wanted to assassinate her. They must have targeted the children because they failed to assassinate her.
Thinking of this, she wiped her tears, looked at Liu Dechang and Yu Shiming, and said seriously:
"Dad, Lord Yu, do you think it's possible that these people have already left the city?"
Hearing this, Yu Shiming shook his head and denied it. "No, General Ling informed me immediately after the two children were lost. I ordered people to seal the city gates urgently and inquired at the gates. No one had taken the children out of the city, so they must still be in the city."
"But why can't I find it?"
Luo Lan really didn't know what to do. She had never felt so anxious before. If these two children could not be found, her world would collapse.
Yu Shiming glanced at Liu Dechang, shook his head and sighed.
"Don't worry, Princess Yu. I will personally lead the search. Even if we have to turn the capital upside down, we will find the child and leave no corner untouched."
Leaving these words behind, he stood up and walked out with big strides.
Liu Dechang glanced at Luo Lan and sighed helplessly.
"Lan'er, the children are missing. This is something no one expected. It's all because of our different identities. Since these people want to use these two children to threaten Yu'er, I believe they will not hurt them."
Her father's words instantly reminded Luo Lan, and she suddenly jumped up from her chair.
"Yes, you are right. They must want to use the child to threaten Leng Yu. I will go find Leng Yu now. Right now."
As she spoke, she called out loudly:
"Acai, prepare the horses..."
"Lan'er..."
Seeing that she was a little out of control, Liu Dechang scolded her loudly.
Luo Lan's panicked mood became much more sober after her father's scolding. She looked at Liu Dechang and suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing this, Liu Dechang hurried over to comfort her. Luo Lan put her head on his shoulder and cried bitterly while murmuring,
"Dad, if something happens to Huaiyu and An'an, what should I do? It's all my fault for not taking good care of them. It's my fault as a mother. Dad, when can they come back?"
Liu Dechang patted her on the back and comforted her softly:
"Lan'er, listen to Daddy. You must stay calm at this time. Don't lose your composure, otherwise the enemy will get what they want."
"But I don't know how they managed to get through this night. They always need a kiss from me before going to sleep. They must have been very scared last night. They must have cried."
"No, they are all sensible children. They will be very strong. They have royal blood flowing in their veins. They are not ordinary people. They will not just cry. You have to be strong and wait for them to come back."
Liu Dechang's words made Luo Lan feel a little more at ease. She stood up straight, wiped the tears from her face, and nodded to him:
"Dad, I'm going out for a walk."
"Dad will accompany you."
At this time, Liu Dechang was really afraid that something might happen to his precious daughter again, so he had to stay by her side.
