The eighth day of the first lunar month
The people in Prince Yu's mansion were busy and searching all night long, but until dawn, there was still no news.
Huang Yun and An An seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace.
Luo Lan and Leng Yu did not sleep all night. They waited and sat all night.
Today is the day when the little twins are buried. Many people came early in the morning, including a monk to perform a ritual to pray for his soul to be reborn.
Listening to the sounds of monks chanting and beating wooden fish in the yard, Luo Lan's heart began to become irritated.
"Lan'er, don't worry. After the little twins are buried, I will go look for them myself. Even if I have to turn the capital upside down, I will find An'an."
Luo Lan suddenly thought of the last time An An was missing. That time, she almost lost An An completely.
But at the moment, she didn't want to add too much burden to Leng Yu, so she could only nod calmly.
"Okay, as long as they don't leave the capital, they won't go too far. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go change my clothes."
Leng Yu nodded, raised his foot and walked towards the yard.
People who came to bury the little twins walked into Prince Yu's mansion one after another. The people in the mansion came for Leng Yu's sake, while the people outside the mansion came sincerely to see the little twins off.
"Prince Ming, Princess Ming is here..."
"Your Excellency, the Duke's wife is here..."
"Lord Xi, the eldest son of the Xi Palace has arrived..."
"Master Li has arrived, Master Wang has arrived, Master Liu has arrived..."
A Gang's shout was heard. Leng Xi glared at him as he walked past him, snorted coldly, swung his sleeves, and walked into the yard.
Even though Leng Yu disliked him, it was not convenient for her to cause trouble with him in such an occasion.
He walked forward, clasped his fists and nodded to him, then went to greet Leng Ming and Luo Xue. After exchanging a few brief greetings with them, he went to say hello to Liu Dechang and Xiaoling.
Leng Xi didn't care about his indifference. He came here just to watch the fun. If Leng Yu was too enthusiastic towards him, he would be uncomfortable.
Luo Xue and Leng Ming had helped look for An An all night yesterday, and arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion early this morning.
Leng Ming stayed in the front hall to help out, Liu Dechang helped to greet the guests, and Luo Xue and Xiaoling went to the backyard.
They knew that Luo Lan must be in a terrible mood at this moment, and they should go and comfort her.
After Luo Lan returned to the room, she fell directly onto the bed and cried for a while.
Last night, Huaiyu was locked up for doing something wrong, and Anan was inexplicably missing. Without two children by her side at once, she felt that her whole heart was empty.
Xiaoling knocked on the door and she quickly wiped her eyes with a handkerchief to hide the fact that she had just shed tears.
"Mom, Xue, you guys are here too?"
Seeing Luo Lan's red and swollen eyes, Xiaoling wiped her tears with heartache and went forward to hug her.
"My dear daughter, you have suffered during this period."
Luo Lan was afraid that her mother would be worried because of her, so she quickly shook her head to deny it.
"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that there's been a lot going on in the mansion lately, but I'll be fine soon."
Luo Xue knew that she was comforting her mother, so she also followed suit:
"Mom, good things take time. I'm going to enter the palace to become the queen soon. Before entering the palace, I need to practice more. It will be beneficial for the future."
Xiaoling wiped the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand and sighed deeply.
"Even though I say that, mother is still worried. Too many things have happened in Prince Yu's mansion these past few days, and now An An is missing again. What should we do?"
When An An was mentioned, Luo Lan's eyes instantly turned red, and Luo Xue hurriedly spoke to comfort him.
"No matter what, the dead are the most important. Let's bury the two generals first, and then we can go find An An. An An has martial arts skills and is smart, so nothing will happen to her."
Luo Lan knew that Luo Xue's words were meant to comfort her.
But what can she do now?
The funeral ceremony in the front yard has already begun. When everyone learned that Lele had to wear full mourning clothes and carry the banner for the little twins, they immediately started talking about it.
Of course, most of these people gave Leng Yu a thumbs up, and the other few were either Leng Xi's subordinates or neutral people.
The monks finished their prayers and the funeral procession was ready. When Lele lifted the funeral basin and threw it heavily to the ground, Acai's wailing voice was heard at the scene.
Luo Lan hurried forward to hold her arm and cry with her.
Lele carried the spirit banner and walked in front of the team. The little twins' coffins were lifted onto a carriage and rushed to the generals' tombs outside the city.
There, all the generals of Daning Kingdom who sacrificed their lives for their country are buried. There are guards guarding the place all year round and there are special people to clean it. It is most appropriate to bury the twins there.
Walking in the funeral procession, Xiao Bao looked around and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Yicheng, where are An'an and Huaiyu? Where did they go?"
Yi Cheng shook his head, "I don't know."
"How could you not know? Where did they go?"
Yi Cheng frowned and responded in a low voice,
"An An is lost, Huai Yu!"
His mother had told him that Huaiyu's affairs should not be told to outsiders. When he was thinking about how to explain it, Xiaobao asked impatiently:
"Why is An An lost again? She was lost once many years ago. Where did she lose it this time?"
Yi Cheng frowned and glanced at him, then he murmured in displeasure:
"Keep your voice down. This is the minimum respect for the deceased. Okay, stop talking. If you have anything to say, talk to us when we get back!"
After saying this, Yi Cheng took two quick steps and distanced himself from Xiao Bao to prevent him from asking too many questions.
