Yu Huan listened to their words. Although he was nervous, he did not panic.
The guards were following her closely, and Shen Zhongfang and Shen Mingxu were also nearby. If she disappeared, they would definitely notice it first and should be on their way to find her.
Just wait until they come.
But we can't rely entirely on them, we have to find a way to delay some time.

As expected, the captain of the guards immediately delivered the letter to the palace, and Shen Zhongfang also asked the servant to run back to report the news.
The streets were filled with people and mermaids, and the captain of the guards couldn't imagine what the thieves who didn't know Princess Fuxi's identity would do.
Without waiting for more transfer orders, they began to check suspicious people on the street one by one.
Opposite the place where the juggler who had just breathed fire was standing was a teahouse with windows upstairs. Sitting up there, one could take in the people living below.
There was an elegant young man in a dark blue satin robe with scattered flowers and dark patterns sitting here just now. He wanted to warn them when the incident happened, but the group moved too quickly. By the time the jugglers' noise died down, the man had disappeared.
Shen Zhongfang suppressed his anxiety and asked the people nearby one by one: "Has anyone seen a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old wearing a cardamom-colored dress..."
"I saw it."
The person he was pulling couldn't answer, but a handsome young man who had just come down from a teahouse started talking to him, holding a folding fan.
"Seriously." Shen Mingxu immediately rushed over, "Where did you see them go?"
This young man's vision was much sharper than those two who caught people. He could tell from their clothes and posture as well as the large number of guards scattered around them that they were of extraordinary status.
It just so happened that the young master of the Chen family was also a wealthy and powerful family, so he decided to let these two wealthy families fight each other to see who could beat whom.
With a kind of hidden mockery towards the wealthy, the young man pointed them to the place, "Walk to the end of this street, then turn east and go straight to the third alley, the innermost one. If you go too late, the safety of your young lady cannot be guaranteed."
He thought they would rush off to find someone after hearing this, but the guard captain grabbed him and said coldly, "You go with me."
This person can tell the place so accurately, could it be related to this matter?
The captain of the guards had an unusually strong grip, and the man couldn't escape even if he wanted to, so he had to follow him in disappointment.

Shoukang Palace
Chen Jinzhi was talking to the senior palace maid beside her, "After she left, I felt that this palace was too boring..."
As they were speaking, the eunuch who was delivering the message came running in hurriedly. He kowtowed as soon as he entered and reported in a panic: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, there is a letter from outside the palace saying that Princess Fuxi has been in trouble."
Shen Jinzhi stood up suddenly.
She suppressed her rage and listened to the eunuch's explanation. She slammed the table and shouted, "Search! Everyone, search for me! Everyone, go! Seal off that street, seal off the capital, and dig three feet underground to find the princess."
The head maid was afraid that she would do this without even saying hello and cause unpleasantness with the new emperor, so she hurriedly reminded her, "Your Majesty, please also inform His Majesty about this."
Chen Jinzhi's face was gloomy. After taking a few breaths, he calmed down and walked away: "I will go and talk to him in person."

Yun Zhiyan told Yu Huan that if anyone couldn't write, they could go to him.
But Yu Huan just took it as a polite remark. He was already the emperor, so how could he let her order him around? He couldn't even finish reviewing all the memorials, and he still had to do homework for her.
She didn't take it to heart.
The emperor's residence was not far from Shoukang Palace, but Yun Zhiyan had never met her.
He had just taken this position, and there were many people watching him in the dark, and there were mountains of official business waiting for him to deal with.
Just when I pull myself away from my busy life and think of her, a sense of melancholy comes over me.
Why doesn't she come?
Why did he want her to come so much?
Yun Zhiyan couldn't figure it out, so he simply put this personal affair aside and decided to cool down. He would solve the problem after the disappointment subsided and he could deal with it rationally.
But things go against your wishes. The more you don’t want to think about it, the more you think about it.
What if she forgot about him?
He suddenly woke up and came out of the imperial study. It was already dark, but he still walked towards Shoukang Palace.
Before he had reached halfway, he met a palace servant who was coming out of Shoukang Palace and heading hurriedly towards the palace gate.
"Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?" Yun Zhiyan called them.
They heard it was the Empress Dowager's order, but they hadn't reported it to the Emperor yet. Fearing they would be held accountable, they hesitated before speaking: "Princess Fuxi has gone missing outside the palace. The Empress Dowager is extremely worried and has asked us servants to lead people to look for her..."
