early morning.
For several days after the storm, the weather in Changqing City was fine.
Early in the morning, Shi Yiru put on the morning glow and walked to the study.
Walking halfway, I saw a few concubines from Prince Ning's mansion gathered at the pavilion, not knowing what to say, all of them had sullen expressions on their beautiful faces.
Just turned around and saw him.
"Shi Changshi."
As soon as he heard them calling, Shi Yiru had no choice but to stop and walk over to salute them.
Among them, Shuli looked at him, and said with displeasure: "Shi Changshi, are you going to the study to see the prince again?"
"Yes."
"Is the lord so busy recently? It's been a few days in a row, and he hasn't come to my place for a face-to-face meeting. Could it be that he went to the East Courtyard?"
Just like the harem in the imperial palace is divided into the East Palace and the West Palace, King Ning also divided the East Court and the West Court in his Ning Palace. In fact, he did not register a princess, so it is not very meaningful.
However, only those who know what he is thinking will understand the significance of his move.
In Prince Ning's mansion, he was imitating the shape of the emperor in some very small places, and he had already had the idea of replacing that position.
It's just that he was busy with business, but these women were still jealous over these trivial matters.
Facing them, Shi Yiru was also a little helpless.
You must know that at this time, what King Ning is doing is a major event that affects the situation of the world, but these women only think about whether he went to the East Court or the West Court, and whether he loves this or that.
But there is no way to say these words to these women.
He could only apologize and said with a smile: "My lord is looking for someone recently, so he is quite busy."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Looking for a woman?"
"It's—of course not."
"Hmph, it's fine if it's not." Shu Li said, and then glanced at him again: "Have you found it? If you found it, the prince should breathe a sigh of relief and let him sit with me."
Shi Yiru only smiled perfunctorily and said: "Soon, there will be news soon. When the time comes, I will remind the prince to go to the west courtyard more often."
"Well, that's good."
Shu Li was satisfied, so she let him go, waved her hand and said, "Go."
Shi Yiru bowed to them, then exited the pavilion and hurried to the study.
Seeing him coming, Zhu Xuan asked, "Is there any news?"
Shi Yiru said: "My lord, although there are many people sent, there is no news yet. After all, if you want to go out of the city to search, the scope is much larger than in the city. It will take at least two days before there will be definite news. Send it back."
Zhu Xuan also knew that he was impatient.
But at this time, he really can't relax too much. Zhu Feng's whereabouts are uncertain, which is definitely a variable for him.
He couldn't let the variable become that little ant's nest on his embankment of a thousand miles.
So he said, "Let them go as soon as possible."
Shi Yiru said: "Don't worry, my lord, I know the importance of this matter, and I have asked them to send back the search news at any time."
"Um."
While the two were talking, a few people came outside to report.
Shi Yiru went out, whispered a few times, and returned to the study.
Zhu Xuan looked at him: "Is there any news?"
Shi Yiru shook his head and said, "There is no news yet, but there is one thing, which is a little strange."
"What's up?"
Shi Yiru said: "I have already ordered them to come back on time and report back no matter where they go, in order to find out the news at any time. However, there is a group of people who did not come back on time."
"oh?"
Zhu Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows: "Where did they go?"
"Leaving the city, I went to the fishing village on the east side of the city by the sea. However, this group of people has not returned yet."
Both were silent for a moment.
The east side of the city is close to the sea, and the villages are very numerous and scattered. Even if there are a lot of people sent, it is not easy to search all over there.
However, Shi Yiru, as the long history of Prince Ning's Mansion, has always been under strict rule.
Let them come back on time, and they should come back on time.
Zhu Xuan thought for a while, and said: "Send someone over there to take a look. If there are no accidents, that's all. If there are any discoveries—"
Shi Yiru immediately said, "I understand."
Zhu Xuan nodded, and Shi Yiru immediately went down to deliver the order.

The same morning glow also appeared on the sea.
A large area of red light on the sea level, like a flame burning on the sea, contrasted with most of the fiery red sky.
However, such a beautiful scenery indicates that a heavy rain is coming.
The morning glow does not go out, and the evening glow travels thousands of miles.
These folk proverbs are widely circulated in the fishing village, and on this day, there is an ominous atmosphere in the village.
Everyone knows that something happened to Old Zhong's family. The night before, someone saw his family of three leave in a hurry. Although it could be seen that there were still people in his house because the lights could still be seen shining, no one knew who it was.
Because the door has never been opened.
Everyone didn't dare to approach easily, after all, before, those vicious big men went to trouble their family and never came out.
No one knows what happened inside.
The quiet room exudes a frightening silence.
But there was silence in the room.
On the bed lay a fair-skinned, beautiful woman.
The sun shone in through the window and shone on her face, which shone slightly, adding a sense of tranquility to her.
And beside the bed, sat a tall man.
Zhu Feng was by the bed and had been watching all night.
After he left here before, because he couldn't let it go, he rushed back overnight. At this time, he was also a little tired, and he was propping his forehead with one hand, closing his eyes and sleeping lightly.
This picture is both quiet and beautiful.
There was no sound in the room, only if you listen carefully, you can hear the calm and long breathing of the two of them, one after another, giving people a sense of restraint.
Time seems to stop at this moment.
However, time will not stop after all.
When the sunlight moved slowly over time and moved to Nan Yan's eyes, she finally gradually felt a little bit of consciousness, and the center of her brow twitched slightly.
After a while, I opened my eyes.
His eyes looked a little dazed.
where is this
What's going on with me
She stared blankly at the very old mosquito net above her head, and she was a little bit lost. Suddenly, she heard the sound of steady breathing coming from her ear, accompanied by a breath that made her feel very familiar.
Her heart skipped a beat.
The scene she saw before she fell into a coma, that person, suddenly drilled out in her mind.
She turned her head and saw that familiar face right in front of her eyes.
"ah… "
