Fifth Highness... Xue Yan.
Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, and then, bursts of coolness rose from his back.
That book... the book he read after he died.
In the book, Xue Yan once said something he couldn't understand, but now, what happened today has actually overlapped with the sentences in the book that he didn't understand.
In the book, halfway through the plot, Xue Yan acted daringly and imprisoned the empress dowager in a secret room. Jun Linghuan resisted in every possible way, crying to Xue Yan and said, "If you can't keep me, someone will definitely find me!"
Xue Yan sneered, with a cold and sneering smile in his amber eyes: "If the solitary king can hide you, it will naturally make no one in the world find you. Empress Dowager, you have learned it a long time ago."
Hearing this, Jun Linghuan seemed to recall some terrible experience, trembling all over, unable to speak.
As for Xue Yan, she leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Remember? As long as the lonely king wants to lose you, no one can find you even in the palace."
At that time, Jun Huailang didn't take his words to heart because he never knew that his sister had been lost, and was eager to see what happened next. But given what happened today...
Jun Huailang was like falling into an ice cave, chills all over his body.
Isn't this sentence that he couldn't understand and casually flicked about today? Xue Yan lost Jun Linghuan, formed a grudge with her, and humiliated her in the future... Mostly because of what happened today.
Jun Huailang's spine was cold all the way to the bottom, and a deep self-blame appeared in his heart.
It's him... He lived a new life, but he didn't do everything in detail. He repeated what happened in the previous life, made his sister go the same way in the previous life, and got entangled with Xue Yan again...
He stood up suddenly, almost overturning the desk in front of him. He didn't care much, grabbed the little eunuch and walked out quickly: "Where did the eldest miss leave you? Take me there quickly!"
The little eunuch really taught him to startle.
When the other nobles heard about this, they were all anxious. However, the guards in the palace are heavily guarded, and there are palace servants everywhere. Even if the child is lost, there will be no danger. No one is as nervous as this one.
The little eunuch was startled by him, and he stammered when he spoke: "The Royal Garden... the West Corner Gate of the Royal Garden! Don't be in a hurry, Your Highness, the servant will take you there..."
Jun Xiaowu and Xue Yunhuan next to him also hurriedly followed. Although Jun Xiaowu looked flustered, he still advised Jun Huailang: "Don't be afraid, brother, Ling Huancai's older child can't run far. With so many people in the palace, she won't be easily lost."
Jun Huailang just walked out all the way, his throat was hard and he couldn't make a sound, he just shook his head with difficulty.
The palace is heavily guarded, and it is easy for nobles to get lost. Jun Linghuan is taken by Concubine Shu's side, and it is easy to not go out alone.
But it was because of this that Jun Huailang was afraid.
If something like this is impossible to happen, if it is related to Xue Yan, it cannot be explained by common sense.
Jun Huailang's mind was full of confusion along the way. For a while, he thought of the miserable winds and rains in Chang'an when he was slaughtered in his previous life, and for a while he thought of all the things in that book, and his heart was suffocated, and his eyes were reddened.
Jun Xiaowu and Xue Yunhuan were frightened by his appearance.
Xue Yunhuan never realized that Jun Huailang could go so fast. While hurriedly following him, he panted and said, "Huailang, don't worry! I just asked, they searched all the wells and lakes nearby, and they also sent people to guard them. It will be life-threatening!"
Saying that, he hurriedly nudged Jun Xiaowu with his elbow.
Jun Xiaowu hurriedly said: "Yes! Brother, don't worry, my sister won't run around. It is estimated that she lost her way and will be back in less than a quarter of an hour..."
Jun Huailang did not speak from the beginning to the end.
The West Corner Gate is very small, and the narrow palace road in front of the gate is already crowded with people. Due to the matter involving the prince and the eldest lady of the palace, the emperor and empress who had just gone to rest in the apse were here, sitting on the engraved chairs temporarily placed by the roadside, with palace maids behind them wearing canopies and feather fans.
When Jun Huailang came, he saw the emperor reprimanding Xue Yan. Concubine Shu stood by the side, crying anxiously. His parents were also standing by the side at this time, and the worried expression could not be hidden, but they had to abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, and dared not speak falsely.
"Concubine Shu asked you to help take care of Ling Huan, is that what you did?" Jun Huailang could hear the emperor's furious voice from a few meters away. "It's said to be the plum blossom forest left outside the West Corner Gate, but why can't anyone find anyone in a radius of tens of meters!"
From a distance, Jun Huailang saw Xue Yan kneeling on the path outside Xijiaomen.
Everyone was standing, but he was kneeling. The trail was paved with bluestone and covered with snow. The radiant palace lanterns illuminated that piece as bright as day, and also stretched his shadow very long.
At this moment, Xue Yan raised his head and met Jun Huailang's gaze.
Those eyes were lifeless, clearly a pair of extremely pale eyes, but they contained a bottomless black mist, dark and cold, so cold that Jun Huailang shivered in his heart.
It also made his mind clear for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that when Xue Yan touched the top of Jun Linghuan's hair a few days ago and told her that he was also her brother, his expression was not like this.
Originally... In this life, many things have changed. How could Xue Yan repeat the same mistakes and do the same thing in his previous life...
At this moment, he saw that Xue Yan glanced at him lightly, and lowered his eyes again.
Like a candle, it suddenly went out.
On his side, Jun Xiaowu also panicked when he saw the scene of such a big fight. You Qi heard that Emperor Qing Ping said that no one could be found within a radius of several dozen feet, and he was immediately anxious.
Ignoring Jun Huailang, he took a few steps forward, even forgetting to salute the Empress, so he grabbed Xue Yan's collar and lifted him up: "Where did you leave my sister? Why can't I find anyone until now?"
Xue Yan quietly raised his eyes and met his eyes.
The young eyes were no longer smiling and smiling at Jun Huailang earlier, and the flames of anger and anxiety were beating.
Xue Yan didn't seem to see it.
In his eyes, it was still Jun Huailang's eyes who just raised his eyes just now.
He has always loved his sister, which Xue Yan knew long ago. He came in a hurry, his eyes were flustered and anxious, his eyes were red, and from a distance, Xue Yan could see the water in his eyes.
He will hate me. Xue Yan thought calmly in his heart. like everyone else.
Xue Yan felt a pain in his heart for no reason, as if a hand was clasping his heart, making him breathless. This feeling is very foreign. He never thought that he could face all the maliciousness of him calmly, but he could not bear the disgust of one person.
As if escaping, he hastily moved his gaze away from Jun Huailang. At the same time, he thought to himself, let him hate me, sooner or later.
Sure enough, he was grabbed by the man's younger brother's neck and met his younger brother's angry eyes. The Qing Ping Emperor and the others were beside him, and they did not scold Jun Xiaowu for his rudeness, but indulged and acquiesced to him.
Xue Yan was silent, without words.
He seemed to be waiting, like a condemned prisoner waiting for the order to be executed, waiting for Jun Huailang to do something.
He closed his eyes.
At this moment, a hand reached out and grabbed Jun Xiaowu's wrist.
The hand was so white that blue blood vessels could be vaguely seen on the back of the hand.
It was clearly a weak and slender hand, and the phalanx that loomed on the back of the hand seemed to be broken with a single grip, but there was an indescribable strength, which prevented Jun Xiaowu from moving.
"...Brother?" Jun Xiaowu looked at him in disbelief.
Jun Huailang's face was expressionless, his eyes were still red, his lips were tightly pursed, and his cheek muscles were slightly twitched, clearly trying to hold back something.
After a moment of silence, he reluctantly spoke, and a word came out of his thin lips.
"Find Ling Huan first." His voice was a little hoarse. "Find Ling Huan and ask why."
This sentence seemed to use up all his strength. After speaking, before Jun Xiaowu could respond to him, he let go of his hand and turned around.
From beginning to end, Xue Yan didn't even look at him.
Then, Jun Huailang turned around and walked towards Emperor Qingping, knelt down, bent over, and saluted, "I am disobeyed, please send additional staff to search for no-one everywhere, and when you find Ling Huan, ask for the reason, and then deal with it. ."
Emperor Qingping paused, sighed, and instructed: "Lingfu, according to the prince's words, go and find all the idle Jinwuwei, look around, be sure to dig three feet in the ground, and find the lady of the Jun family. ."
Ling Fu hurriedly took orders to do it.
Emperor Qingping looked at Jun Huailang again and said, "I know that you two brothers are worried about your sister. Don't worry, I will never let Ling Huan have an accident in the palace."
Jun Huailang nodded again.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to allow the minister and the guards to search together." He knelt on the ground and pleaded.
