Murong Ke was lying on the bed, feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart. He knew Mingyu's feelings for Yan Xiaoliu better than anyone else. She already regarded Yan Xiaoliu as her family. After learning that he was injured, she unexpectedly Still so calm.
It seemed that she believed everything he said, which was completely different from her initial performance.
He suddenly sat up, for some reason, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. What did Mingyu say to Mingxi today? Do you want Mingxi to do something
Murong Ke put on his coat, he had to go to Fengyi Palace.
"Your Majesty?" Ford, who was dozing outside, was suddenly awakened when he heard the movement, and hurried in.
"You don't have to be busy, I'm going to see Mingyu, you don't need to follow." Murong Ke waved his hand to make Ford retreat, he wanted to see Mingyu on a whim.
Fude responded, thinking that the emperor really cared about Mingyu, and it was already midnight, so he had to go see her to feel at ease.
The imperial palace was very quiet in the middle of the night, and occasionally you could hear the patrolling voice of the Imperial Forest Army. The harem was even more quiet and deep. Murong Ke was walking quickly with a lantern. Some Imperial Forest Army soldiers saw the light and wanted to come forward to check it out. When he got closer, he realized that it was Murong Ke, and quickly bowed his head and retreated.
When Murong Ke came to Fengyi Palace, he was able to detect the hidden guards in the surrounding corners. Fengyi Palace is well protected. If anyone comes in or out, the hidden guards will know.
"Who?" Ning Xiang, who was outside, heard the voice, stood up in fright, and knelt down in fright when he saw someone coming, "I have seen the emperor."
"Did the princess sleep well tonight?" Murong Ke asked in a low voice.
Ning Xiang replied, "The princess fell asleep early, she slept very deeply and soundly."
Murong Ke nodded heavily, it seemed that he had really fallen asleep.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but for some reason, he still didn't move.
"I'll go in and see the princess." Murong Ke said in a low voice, and quietly walked into the bedroom.
Under the curtain, the quilt on the bed was slightly raised, Mingyu seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Murong Ke smiled lightly, finally feeling relieved.
"Take good care of the princess." Murong Ke instructed the maid, and turned to leave Fengyi Palace.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Ning Xiang saluted and watched Murong Ke leave Fengyi Palace.
Ningxiang turned her head to look at Mingyu in the curtain, with a smile on her face, it's really great that the princess is so loved by the emperor.
I only hope that Yan Xiaoliu will come back safely, otherwise the princess will be very sad.
She lifted up the curtain, intending to cover Mingyu with the quilt, why didn't she see the princess? Could it be that the princess has slept under the quilt
Ning Xiang lifted the quilt and took a look, she was stunned.
Where is the princess
"Princess..." Ning Xiang called out, "Where are you, don't scare the slaves."
how so? After the princess fell asleep, she didn't leave for half a step. If there was any movement, she would know it.
"The princess is gone, the princess is gone..." Ning Xiang searched the entire bedroom, but couldn't find Mingyu, and finally screamed out in fright.
The surrounding guards heard the call and immediately appeared in the bedroom.
"What's wrong?" Huang Chong asked Ningxiang.
Ning Xiang pointed to the bed, the quilt had been lifted, there were only two pillows inside, and Mingyu was nowhere to be seen.
"Report to the emperor immediately!" Huang Chong shouted, "You, the others follow me to find the princess!"
I hope the princess just ran out mischievously, and nothing will happen.
Before Murong Ke could go far, the lights of Fengyi Palace behind him suddenly lit up, and there was a rustling sound.
He stopped in his tracks, looked back abruptly, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and immediately walked back to Fengyi Palace, and within a few steps, he saw the hidden guards hurrying, "What's going on?"
"My lord, the princess is gone."
Murong Ke's expression changed, "Immediately send someone to Prince Qin's Mansion to see if Mingxi and the others are there."
"Yes." The dark guard didn't dare to ask why he was going to Prince Qin's mansion without the princess, and he immediately took orders to go.
He didn't go to Fengyi Palace again, Mingyu must not be in the palace at this time, and Mingxi could take Mingyu away quietly, without leaving any clues.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Ning Xiang ran over in a panic, "I found this on the princess' bed."
Murong Ke took the note, and when he saw the content on it, his face was already gloomy.
"Prepare the horse, I will go after it myself!" Murong Ke said angrily, it seems that there is no need to go to Prince Qin's mansion, there must be no one there, since Mingxi brought Mingyu out of the palace at this time, he must have left at night.
In the quiet street, there was a sound of bouncing, and some sleepy people were woken up. When they opened the window, they saw a few shadows flashing past. They thought they were seeing ghosts, and hurriedly shrank back into the quilt in fright.
Murong Ke left the city as fast as he could, and the official road was completely dark. Although there were street lights to guide him, it didn't help much.
He has been chasing for an hour, and there is not even half a figure.
"Your Majesty..." Huang Chong called Murong Ke in a low voice. After chasing him for so long, I'm afraid the princess and the others have already gone far away.
"Is it possible that the princess is still in the city? They are only a few children, it is impossible to run so fast." Someone behind whispered.
Murong Ke didn't say anything, he knew that it was impossible for Ming Xi to stay in the city with Ming Yu, and he knew that if he knew that, he would not be able to leave tomorrow.
After chasing for an unknown amount of time, the sky to the east appeared pale.
It was slightly brighter.
Murong Ke chased him all night, but he still couldn't catch Mingxi.
He gradually slowed down and stopped on the small road on the hillside. The official road came to an end, and further ahead, there were separate paths, and he couldn't catch up.
"Your Majesty..." Huang Chong looked at Murong Ke worriedly.
"Go back." Murong Ke said indifferently, there is no need to go to court today.
When they returned to the city, it was already noon, and the people sent to Qin Wangfu were already waiting in the palace, but as Murong Ke guessed, Mingxi and the others were no longer in the palace.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jinbei is still in the city." Song Jiong said, he was called into the palace in the middle of the night yesterday, and sealed off the capital city for most of the day, preventing people from entering or leaving. He waited until the emperor came back to lift the ban.
He knew that Princess Mingyu was missing, the emperor must be very worried, but since the princess followed his brother, there shouldn't be any danger.
"Let Xu Jinbei enter the palace." Murong Ke said immediately.
Ford immediately offered a cup of ginseng tea to Murong Ke.
"Last night, didn't you hear anything?" Murong Ke raised his eyes and looked at Huang Chong.
Huang Chong himself was also confused. He was very vigilant last night, but he just didn't notice Princess Mingyu leaving.
"Back to the emperor, my subordinates... didn't find anything." Huang Chong lowered his head and replied, he felt that he was to blame for the princess' disappearance.
Murong Ke glanced at all the hidden guards kneeling on the ground. They were all guarding Fengyi Palace last night. He knew their martial arts well. No matter how powerful Ming Xi was, he couldn't take them away silently. Mingyu.
"Didn't you find out?" Murong Ke asked in a deep voice.
