When the Right Prime Minister Lin Jingzhi saw his son rushing in but did not see Lin Shiyue, he already felt vaguely uneasy.
Yuchi Gongshan and Yao Guang were also confused when they saw Duanmu Jinhong leading Lin Shulun here.
After Lin Shulun entered, he knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, I am Lin Shulun, your humble servant. I pay my respects to your Majesty." He was anxious, but he could not ignore etiquette.
"Hong'er, why are you so flustered?" Emperor Cheng was unhappy. And why did Jinhong and several other princes come, but the crown prince was not there? Could it be that the unlucky son caused trouble for his father again? !
Duanmu Jinhong immediately reported back: "Father, Lin Youxiang's daughter Lin Shiyue is missing."
Lin Jingzhi was startled and was unable to stand steadily. Seeing that he did not care about the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, Lin Shulun hurriedly stood up to support Lin Jingzhi: "Father!"
Yao Guang also hurried to help and supported Lin Jingzhi, so that he did not fall down.
Emperor Cheng, Fu Kun and Yuchi Gongshan were also shocked when they heard it.
"I ask my father to allow the Imperial Guards to search the mountain to look for Miss Lin." Duanmu Jinhong said seriously.
Emperor Cheng was shocked when he heard this. How could someone disappear at his imperial banquet? He was immediately furious: "Yes!"
"Yes!" Duanmu Jinhong immediately prepared to turn around and pass on the order.
"Wait!" Emperor Cheng called out to Duanmu Jinhong who was about to leave in a low voice. He suppressed the anger in his chest and looked at Fu Kun, "Left Prime Minister, Fu Mingrui should still be here. He is the leader of the Eight Gates and is good at finding people. Ask him to help find the daughter of the Right Prime Minister."
How could Fu Kun dare not obey the Emperor Cheng's order? He immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I will let you know right away."
"Your Majesty, Lord Left Prime Minister. Sect Leader Fu went down the mountain early in the morning." Lin Shulun reported anxiously.
Fu Kun immediately turned pale. How could Fu Mingrui not be there at this critical moment! Moreover, it was when the emperor wanted to use him! How could his son be as unreliable as the prince? !
Emperor Cheng was naturally displeased when he heard this. How could he not be angry when the emperor asked him to do something but he suddenly couldn't find you? So he looked at Yao Guang again and said, "Yao Guang! Your Nine Gates' people are here today too. Let them go and look for them!"
Yao Guang immediately agreed: "Yes! I will order them to find it right away!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Yao Guang, Miss Yun Yao... have also come down the mountain." Lin Shulun's reply made Lord Yao Guang's face turn pale, and he dared not look at the emperor anymore.
Lord Yao Guang’s whole fat face changed shape: “It’s okay, it’s okay. The Fat Buddha should be in…” He looked guiltily at Emperor Cheng, whose face was already extremely gloomy.
"Is it that monk and the blind boy?" Duanmu Ruifeng asked immediately.
Master Yao Guang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
Duanmu Ruifeng also looked embarrassed in the face of Emperor Cheng's gloomy expression: "They also went down the mountain. It seems that the blind boy was unwell, and the guards saw him vomit..." The whole venue was full of handsome men and beautiful women, and suddenly there was a monk and a blind man. The guards and eunuchs were particularly impressed. When they vomited, the eunuchs were scared and thought there was something wrong with the food.
After Duanmu Ruifeng finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent.
Fu Kun and Yao Guang, who were enemies in normal times, became brothers in distress today.
"What the hell is going on?!" Emperor Cheng shouted angrily, "When I needed someone, none of them were here! Are they dissatisfied with my lanterns? They all left so early!"
"I dare not!" Fu Kun and Yao Guang knelt down together.
Emperor Cheng looked at Duanmu Jinhong angrily and shouted, "Where is the prince!" He had not seen Duanmu Qingchen since Duanmu Jinhong came in. Tonight's imperial banquet and lantern festival should be hosted by the prince.
Duanmu Jinhong frowned but said nothing. Emperor Cheng actually knew what was going on in his heart, but he still didn't believe that Duanmu Qingchen dared to sneak out of the Lantern Festival like that!
Emperor Cheng immediately asked Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng: "Father asks you! Where is the crown prince?" Emperor Cheng was almost roaring, and his dull voice echoed like a thunder in the empty hall.
Duanmu Yankang and his brother were immediately frightened, and Duanmu Ruifeng whispered back: "Brother Crown Prince... he disappeared early in the morning..."
Emperor Cheng was immediately furious, his chest heaving with anger. Suddenly, he grabbed the fruit plate on the table and threw it to the ground.
“Bang!”
The fruit plate was smashed to pieces, and the fragments shone a pale light in the light. The entire hall suddenly fell silent, making people feel suffocated.
Fu Kun and Yao Guang continued to kneel, motionless. Yuchi Gongshan also frowned and said nothing, with his face lowered.
Right Prime Minister Lin Jingzhi couldn't even sit up, holding his dizzy forehead. His daughter was in danger, but no one who could help him find her was there.
Lin Shulun was anxious, but he didn't dare to speak when Emperor Cheng was furious. He could only look at Duanmu Jinhong.
Duanmu Jinhong's expression was calm: "Father, please calm down. My eldest brother will come back soon. I will go find the daughter of the right prime minister first."
Emperor Cheng's chest continued to rise and fall tremendously. He waved at Duanmu Jinhong, obviously furious.
Duanmu Jinhong immediately turned around and strode away. He was the first to leave this suffocating hall. Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng were about to run away, but suddenly they saw Emperor Cheng's body swaying, and they hurried forward.
"Father!"
Fu Kun and Yuchi Gongshan heard their cries and looked over immediately, only to see that Emperor Cheng suddenly turned pale and his body was swaying. Duanmu Yankang and Duanmu Ruifeng hurried forward and supported Emperor Cheng's shaky body.
"Your Majesty!" Yuchi Gongshan stepped forward immediately. Fu Kun immediately shouted outside: "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician——"
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Time was ticking away, and it was almost midnight.
Lian Youyou put one hand behind her back and looked deeply at the movement of every chess piece on the board. The white and black pieces were slowly decreasing.
As she said, once the fate is determined, the only person who is related to the deceased is the murderer. Everyone around them will gradually withdraw from this chess game.
Duanmu Qingchen's golden eyes were staring at Lian Youyou's deep profile. At this moment, he regained some familiar feelings of the female warrior in her deep expression.
He had fought against her for hundreds of years, standing at the top of the star field, and he would sometimes see her figure on the battlefield. At that time, she was wearing divine armor, and there was a silver-white cold divine light in her eyes. She waved the divine light on the battlefield, and wherever she passed, there was blood flowing like a river and wailing everywhere.
He often saw her standing alone in the dark battlefield, her body stained with the blood of their demon god, her face blank and tired. She just stood there on the empty scorched earth for a long time, and at her feet were corpses.
He looked at the expression on her face, his heart filled with hatred, but she was the strongest female warrior in the star field, no one could defeat her, no matter how elite the troops they sent out were, no matter how brave the generals were, in the end, they would still be trampled under her feet.
