Such weakness and helplessness should not appear in an emperor, but when his relatives truly no longer have any affection for him, it becomes the softest spot in an emperor's heart...
Li Zhu looked towards the palace, his eyes filled with hesitation, wondering whether he should go and say goodbye to his cheap father, the emperor who wanted him dead...
Deep down, he really didn't want to go. Who would want to see a father who was determined to kill his own son?
He is unjust, so I cannot be unjust...
This was Li Zhu's thought at that moment, so he felt it necessary to say goodbye to his adoptive father, the emperor, as a way of giving him face...
He's caused such a huge mess today, I wonder what the other party will think, and how this meeting with his adoptive father will end!
"Your Highness, we haven't found any trace of Qinglu. I asked some acquaintances around here, and they said that Qinglu hasn't appeared since yesterday; it's as if she vanished..."
Li Zhu, who was deep in thought, was startled awake by Wang Yanzhang. He was not surprised by Qinglu's disappearance, but he couldn't figure out what her identity was or what her status was in the Heavenly Dao Alliance!
"Let's go back..."
Li Zhu said somewhat dejectedly, "In Wang Yanzhang's eyes, this behavior is clearly lustful towards beautiful women, which makes him even more convinced that Li Zhu is a complete scumbag..."
Five thousand Imperial Guards left the Flower Moon Pavilion in a grand procession, leaving behind only ruins of what was once a bustling establishment…
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Miss Qingqing and Miss Yingying have gone missing..."
Zhao Feng suddenly appeared and said in a very anxious tone!
"What? How could they disappear? With Nangong Niannian around, who could kidnap them from the East Palace?"
Li Zhu's expression changed drastically as he said, he couldn't believe that anyone could take the two people away right under Nangong Niannian's nose...
"They...they didn't disappear from the Eastern Palace..."
After taking a breath, Zhao Feng replied with a very unpleasant expression!
"What did you say? Why did they leave the East Palace?"
As Wang Riqing's father, Wang Yanzhang couldn't help but grab Zhao Feng's shoulders and roar angrily!
"What are you doing? It's not like I kidnapped your daughter..."
Zhao Feng grimaced as he was being arrested, but he understood that this was a normal reaction for a father who had suddenly heard that his daughter was missing!
"General Wang, please calm down. Their disappearance is too coincidental. I just crushed the Flower Moon Pavilion, and they inexplicably vanished. It's hard not to suspect that their disappearance is related to the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Since someone deliberately captured them, they must have something to ask for. Rest assured, whatever their demands, I will spare no effort to rescue them..."
Li Zhu was also extremely anxious, but seeing Wang Yanzhang's reaction, he had to first comfort him and calm him down...
Hearing Li Zhu's assurance, Wang Yanzhang calmed down considerably, but the anxiety in his eyes was impossible to hide!
"General Wang, take men and search now. Even if you have to turn Luoyang upside down, you must find them..."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Wang Yanzhang accepted the order and led the five thousand Imperial Guards in a separate operation to conduct a thorough search throughout Luoyang City!
"Zhao Feng, you have better eyesight. Stay on high ground and keep watch. Report to me immediately if you spot anything unusual!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhao Feng immediately accepted the order and left, while Li Zhu returned to the East Palace at the first opportunity. Looking at the palace that had once again become ruins, he was filled with anger and helplessness...
However, he didn't have time to deal with these things. Naturally, he found the bamboo vipers and sent them out to search for Wang Riqing and Yuwen Yingying's whereabouts as well...
In order not to miss any news, Li Zhu stood anxiously in the Eastern Palace, waiting for the other party to offer conditions for releasing the person...
As the sun rose again, Li Zhu, who hadn't slept all night, looked out the door. He had dispatched all the Imperial Guards and officials, both inside and outside the capital, but there was still no news. This made Li Zhu anxious. Whatever the reason, at least give us some news! This silence was unbearable…
"General Wang, is there any news?"
Hearing hurried footsteps, Li Zhu looked up and saw Wang Yanzhang returning. Upon hearing Li Zhu's voice, Wang Yanzhang painfully closed his eyes and shook his head, saying...
"No news at all!"
This answer made Li Zhu sway slightly, his anxiety growing stronger. He wished he were the one who had gone missing…
"If I find out who kidnapped Qingqing, I'll shoot him dead..."
Wang Yanzhang then added:
"Brother, what happened?"
When Nangong Niannian got up early in the morning, she saw that Li Zhu and Wang Yanzhang both looked anxious, as if something had happened!
"Oh, so it's your younger brother who's up. How's your injury healing?"
Li Zhu asked with concern!
"The injuries are nothing serious now. You two look a bit off; did something happen? Tell your brother if there's anything I can do to help..."
"It's your two sisters-in-law who have gone missing..."
Li Zhu was caught off guard and naturally told Nangong Niannian what had happened!
"Wang Riqing and Yuwen Yingying?"
"Yes, it's them..."
"I heard you like men, right? I thought it was Wang Yanzhang and Zhao Feng..."
Upon hearing Nangong Niannian's words, Li Zhu's face immediately darkened. It seemed his reputation was indeed known to everyone...
But you are my brother, how could you say such indecent things?
"Little brother, you should go back and recover from your injuries..."
Li Zhu was afraid of being so angry that he quickly sent Nangong Niannian away, not wanting to talk to her anymore!
"Brother, my strength has almost recovered, I'm sure I can be of help..."
Nangong Niannian did not leave; she planned to stay and help!
"Alright then, hopefully I can solve the problem without needing your help..."
Li Zhu knew that this was just wishful thinking, because if Nangong Niannian had to be used, it would mean that the enemy was very strong, which would mean even greater danger!
Whoosh!
Just then, an arrow landed in front of Li Zhu. When Li Zhu looked up to find the archer, he discovered that the person had vanished without a trace…
"Your Highness, there is a letter..."
Wang Yanzhang removed a piece of cloth from the arrow and handed it to Li Zhu…
Li Zhu took a deep breath, knowing that the other party had probably come to make demands...
When Li Zhu unfolded the strip of cloth, he saw that conditions were indeed written on it, but these conditions made him somewhat incredulous…
Wang Yanzhang also glanced at it curiously, and when he saw the conditions clearly, he too showed a shocked expression…
