It turned out that the maid Zhuhua was completely unaware of Huang Yun's sudden disappearance. She passed the news of Huang Yun's disappearance to Teng Gexiang. Teng Gexiang was naturally furious about this. He immediately sent someone to pass a message to Leng Xi, asking him to help find Huang Yun.
When Huang Yun was mentioned, Leng Xi nodded excitedly.
"Princess Yunmeng? Hahaha, this is my weapon to control the people of Beihai. How could I let them find it so easily?"
"Your Highness is wise. As long as these two people are in your hands, you can use them as a threat on the 18th. This is a really clever move."
"Hahaha, this is called the right time, right place, and right people. If God wants to help me, Leng Xi, succeed, it would be hard for me not to succeed!"
Just when he was feeling proud, the housekeeper walked in quickly and replied with a serious expression:
"Your Highness, this is bad. Leng Yu has brought people to search the palace?"
"What?"
Leng Xi's face turned ashen at this moment.
He threw his hands in anger.
"This is outrageous! My palace is mine, and anyone can just search it at will? Let's go out and take a look."
After saying that, Leng Xi put his hands behind his back and walked outside with big strides.
At this time, Leng Yu and Luo Lan were standing in the main courtyard of Prince Xi's Mansion with their men. Seeing him come out, Leng Yu stepped forward and spread out the imperial edict.
"The Emperor has issued an order to search for the missing eldest daughter of Prince Yu's Mansion. No corner of the city should be left unsearched, including the Prince's Mansion and the residences of the ministers."
After delivering the imperial edict, he clasped his fists towards Leng Xi and said:
"Lord Xi, please do me a favor."
Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Leng Xi immediately became suspicious. Could it be that Leng Yu didn't realize that the jade seal was fake when he drafted the edict?
In this way, the fake imperial seal was actually quite authentic.
Thinking of this, he did not expose it, but bowed with a smile on his face and said:
"Since this is an imperial order to search, there is no reason for this prince to disobey. However, I have to make a promise: the things in my Xiwang Mansion are quite valuable. If they are knocked or damaged, you must compensate me."
Looking at his wretched appearance, Luo Lan waved her hand in disgust. She personally led people to the various rooms of Prince Xi's Mansion.
Yu Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao, who heard the news, also came to the yard. Last night, Xiaobao asked the gatekeeper, but he said he didn't see anyone coming in with a bag on his back, and suspected that Xiaobao's eyes were blurry.
He didn't dare to ask Leng Xi directly, so he could only search the mansion roughly. However, there was nothing suspicious in the mansion, and there was no sign of Huang Yun and An An. For this reason, he even suspected that he was either dazzled or dreaming.
When Luo Lan and his group searched the door of Xiao Cui's room, she rushed out angrily, pointed at the person behind Luo Lan, and started cursing.
"You bunch of slaves, get out of here."
Seeing that a girl dared to speak so boldly, Luo Lan was suddenly a little confused.
Leng Xi, realizing something, hurried in, winked at Xiao Cui, and then explained to Luo Lan:
"Princess Yu, please don't mind me. This girl has a heart disease and often gets sick. Maybe she was a little scared when she saw so many of you coming in just now."
"Your Highness, why do I have a heart attack? These men and women rushed in and scared me. My stomach..."
“Bang!”
Seeing that Xiao Cui was about to talk nonsense again, Leng Xi was afraid that Luo Lan would see through her, so he slapped her in the face, causing Xiao Cui to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
She stared at Leng Xi with horrified eyes. Leng Xi waved his hand directly at Xiao Ying.
"Take her to the inner room, and then go find the doctor to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine."
After receiving the order, Xiaoying hurriedly helped Xiaocui up and walked towards the back room with her, who looked stunned.
Luo Lan had some doubts about this.
"Prince Xi is truly kind to the maid in the mansion. The girl has a heart disease, and not only did he keep her in the mansion, he also arranged such a nice house for her. In this regard, Prince Yu's mansion is really ashamed of itself."
Leng Xi was busy explaining while touching his nose.
"This girl is an elder in the mansion. She suffers from heart disease, which is also caused by worrying about the affairs of the mansion. This prince usually treats servants well, which is a well-known fact. Now that she is like this, this prince can't kick her out and let her starve to death!"
Although his reason was not enough to convince everyone, Luo Lan did not want to ask any further questions. She simply waved to the people behind her, and these people began to search the room.
After a while, everyone searched the Prince Xi's Mansion thoroughly, but they didn't even see the shadow of An An.
In the main courtyard of Prince Xi's Mansion, Leng Xi raised his eyebrows with pride, clicked his lips and clasped his fists, saying:
"Prince Yu, your mansion has been in turmoil lately. I know a great monk who can offer salvation to Prince Yu's mansion."
Leng Yu looked at Leng Xi's wretched face, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Thank you, Prince Xi. I, Leng Yu, believe in conscience, not gods or evil."
After saying that, he waved to the people behind him.
"Walk."
Everyone followed Leng Yu and walked out of Prince Xi's Mansion.
At this moment, Luo Lan saw Yu Qiaoqiao standing not far away and looking at her. She nodded to her, and Yu Qiaoqiao also nodded to her.
Only after watching them leave did Leng Xi come to Yu Qiaoqiao and remind her coldly:
"You're pregnant now. It's so cold, so don't go out too much."
He was reminding Yu Qiaoqiao not to let anyone find out.
Yu Qiaoqiao frowned, not even bothering to look at him, and turned and left.
Just as Leng Xi was about to walk into the main hall, he saw Xiao Bao wearing thick cotton clothes and running towards the door. He shouted directly:
"Where are you going?"
