According to the rules, she could not directly break into the residence of the emperor and noble concubine. She needed someone to pass the information, but Xiao Shunzi and Ruo Shui, who were standing at the door, couldn't stop her when they saw her in such a panic, and Nan Yan saw her like this. , immediately realized something was wrong.

She got up hastily: "what's the matter?"

Chu Yun walked in and knelt down in front of Nan Yan with a thud, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the eldest maiden, the eldest princess is gone."

"what?!"

Nan Yan's brows suddenly twitched.

Zhu Feng suddenly stood up from the table, walked to Chu Yun in two steps, and looked down at her: "What's going on?"

Chu Yun said with a pale face: "About half an hour ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly told her servants that she would like to eat snacks, and asked the servants to go to the kitchen to make them for her. For the past two days, Her Royal Highness has been in a bad mood, and she is not very willing to eat. , In order to coax her to eat more, the servant went to the kitchen. However, when the servant brought the dessert back, she found that Her Royal Highness Princess had disappeared."

Zhu Feng said, "Where did she go?"

Chu Yun shook his head: "The slaves don't know."

"do not know?"

These three words alone are enough to cut off the head of the maid who was next to the princess. Chu Yun's cold sweat fell down one by one like beads with a broken thread. After thinking about it, she shivered again. Said: "However, since last night, Her Royal Highness has been concerned about the war outside. Yi Numaid guessed that she might want to go and see what is going on outside."

Nan Yan's face changed instantly: "You mean, she wants to go outside the city to watch the war?"

Chu Yun said: "Maybe yes. Last night, the servant also persuaded Her Royal Highness for a long time. I thought she had given up the idea, but I didn't expect—"

Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other, and their faces became ugly.

Although Nan Yan is also a little worried about the war outside the city, as long as there is this wall, as long as there is Zhu Feng, she doesn't have to worry about the war burning on her body-although she also knows very well in her heart, no matter how small the war, There will also be danger.

But now, if Xinping really ran out—

No matter how small the war is, it is a real sword and shadow, and it will kill people!

Zhu Feng asked, "Can you find her in the palace?"

Chu Yun said: "The slaves have just been found in the front and rear courtyards, and I also let the people below go to the south courtyard to search every corner, but generally speaking, Her Royal Highness is not in the mansion."

Zhu Feng immediately lifted his robe and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Jin Zhong hurried over with two little eunuchs. He was obviously sent out to find the whereabouts of the princess. As soon as Zhu Feng came out, he immediately bent down and saluted.

Zhu Feng said: "Don't talk nonsense, have you found it?"

Faithfully said: "Your Majesty, there is a situation in the corner of the mansion."

Zhu Feng and Nan Yan immediately followed them there. It was at the foot of the fence on the north side of the South Courtyard. There were very few people coming and going, and there were tall trees around to cover it, so it was very inconspicuous.

But as soon as they went, they saw a half-length wooden ladder leaning against the wall.

Several little eunuchs had already climbed up the wall and saw a footprint that had stepped on the moss. The little one knew at a glance that it belonged to a little girl, and the little girl of this age in the house was naturally only Princess Xinping.

With a pale face, Jin Zhong said softly, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and your maiden forgives your sins. Her Royal Highness is afraid—I'm afraid that she has really left the palace."

Zhu Feng had a sullen face, thought for a moment, and immediately said, "Send someone to search the city immediately."

"Yes!"

Jin Zhong hurriedly took people to go, and Zhu Feng thought about it and said, "Don't disturb the people."

Faithfully, "Yes."

Nan Yan frowned and looked at Zhu Feng, then looked back at the half-length ladder, as if a big rock had been pressed in his heart. Of course, she also understood what Zhu Feng meant by not letting the people disturb the people. There was a war going on outside. Although the war was not big, the people of Yongzhou who had been in peace for a long time had long been accustomed to peace. Wanting to find the princess will definitely make people panic.

But in this way, the matter of finding peace of mind will inevitably be delayed.

Nan Yan frowned and said, "Why is the emperor only looking for it in the city?"

Zhu Feng looked back at her: "Huh?"

Nan Yandao: "If Xinping really sneaked out because she wanted to observe the war, she might have left the city."

Zhu Feng said: "Today, the city gate was only opened once, and it was Fang Buyuan who took people out of the city. Under normal circumstances, even if she ran out, she would not be able to leave the city. She should be still somewhere in the city now."

Nan Yan frowned and said, "If she can't leave the city, shouldn't she come back?"

"Yes,"

Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Under normal circumstances, she should come back."

This has been a short period of time, and Zhu Feng has mentioned the word "under normal circumstances" twice. Nan Yan's mood became heavier and heavier. Because the current situation is not consistent with the "normal situation", that is to say—

What happens to Xinping is probably not a normal situation.

It's not even the normal situation she thought of in her little head that should be chopped off.

She couldn't help clenching her teeth: "This **** girl!"

Zhu Feng knew from her appearance that she was not too angry. Although she was well-behaved in normal times, during this period of time, because of the relationship between the disaster victims, food, God and the country of Yue, she was very willful and reckless, which brought them troubles. less hassle.

Nan Yan really even had the heart to beat her to death.

But Zhu Feng didn't mean to be angry except for his low breath, he just walked over and looked at the ladder, thoughtfully.

Nan Yan was full of anxiety, but she herself knew that it was useless to be anxious until she found her daughter, but Zhu Feng's attitude made her a little puzzled. She also walked over and looked at the ladder, and suddenly she felt a thump in her heart—

"Can this thing be brought here by Xinping?"

Zhu Feng said: "The South Courtyard is full of people. She might be able to sneak here to avoid the servants, but it's difficult to hide from the public after moving such a big ladder here."

Chu Yun whispered from the side: "We don't have such a thing over there."

At this time, the steward in the South Court hurried over.

When he heard about the disappearance of Her Royal Highness, he was so frightened that he hurried over to kowtow and confess his guilt, but Zhu Feng didn't have time to blame him.

The steward glanced at it, and immediately said, "If you go back to the emperor, it's in the courtyard. This thing should be in the warehouse, why did it come here?"

Nan Yan immediately said, "The princess went to the warehouse to get this?"

The manager hurriedly said: "No! If the princess goes to the warehouse to get something, they will definitely come to report to the villain, and the villain will also immediately report to the emperor and the empress."

Nan Yan frowned and said solemnly, "In other words, someone took this thing and put it here to help the princess escape?"
