The prince and Lu Qin had the same symptoms as Lu Qing.
The King of Yizhou looked around in a daze and fell asleep. This man was cruel enough to take poison himself and lead others in order to make the fake look real.
The attendant outside the door was always paying attention to the situation in the box. When he realized that the person inside was unconscious, he knocked Minghui's maid unconscious with a knife.
Then he came to the door of the box next door and knocked on it three times.
The door immediately opened from the inside, and Yu Changshi's face appeared. "Is it done?"
"It's done." The follower nodded and said in a low voice.
Yu Changshi rushed to the people inside and immediately ordered them, "Move."
Suddenly, six strong men came out with sacks in their hands and walked into the box where the King of Yizhou and his companions were.
An hour passed and the customers gradually left Yipinxiang.
The figure of Yizhou Wang appeared in front of the restaurant. He staggered and drunkenly left the restaurant with the help of his followers.
Minghui was also drunk. She was supported by two maids and got into her family's carriage.
However, these two maids were not brought by her but arranged by the King of Yizhou.
The secret guards around the restaurant breathed a sigh of relief. Now that they were out, the prince should be coming out soon as well.
But after waiting for half an hour, they still did not see the prince and Lu Qingyu appear.
Something was not right. The leader of the secret guards did not wait any longer and appeared in the lobby of the restaurant.
The waiters who were cleaning the bathroom all looked confused. One of them stopped him and said, "Sir, we are closed at noon. Please come back in the evening."
"Closed? My wife hasn't come out yet." The secret guard's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened?
"It's really closed. There are no customers anymore. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." said the waiter.
The leader of the secret guards was not polite either. He looked up and down the stairs and found that there was indeed no trace of the prince and Lu Qingchu.
He quickly ran out of the restaurant and informed everyone about the matter.
The news quickly spread to the palace.
When Emperor Min Han was furious, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally took action.
He immediately sent an imperial edict to Sun Yudong, the governor of the Nine Gates, to order him to conduct a carpet search of the capital. At the same time, he ordered all the gates of the capital to be guarded and not to let a fly escape.
Regarding what the Min Han Emperor did, Xin said nothing and kept calculating with his fingers.
…
Sun Yudong appeared in the residence of Prince of Yizhou. He was responsible for investigating the whereabouts of the Crown Prince.
The King of Yizhou was lying drunk on the bed. When he saw the Nine Gates Admiral, he looked confused, "Tai'er is missing? No way, when I left, he was also about to leave."
With just one word, he cleared himself of all blame.
After he finished speaking, the King of Yizhou suddenly became agitated again, as if he had just realized that his son was missing.
He stepped forward and grabbed Sun Yudong by the collar, shouting excitedly, "What did you say? Say it again? Tai'er is missing? How could he be missing? How could he be missing in broad daylight?"
After saying this, the King of Yizhou got off the bed barefoot and looked around for his shoes. He wanted to go out and look for the prince himself.
The servant quickly handed him the shoes. The King of Yizhou was furious. "Go, check Yipinxiang. How could someone just eat there and then disappear?"
Seeing the furious King of Yizhou, Sun Yudong did not get the news he wanted, and finally he could only leave with his men.
Sun Yudong didn't find any news at Minghui's house. Minghui hadn't woken up yet, and her maid was missing.
