After the group returned to the palace, Mu Yexiao only sent people out to look for Nanny Wan, but did not say a word to Qian Jiujiu, which made everyone a little puzzled.
Didn't the prince hold the princess in his heart? Why didn't the prince comfort the princess when she was so sad
Qian Jiujiu also pretended not to care and was anxiously waiting for news. Wanyin was so weak, and if she fell into the hands of those bad guys, there was no idea what would happen.
She must be scared and worried now, but Qian Jiujiu felt that she could do nothing. She was so restless that she couldn't sleep well.
He couldn't even eat well, let alone take care of other people. He just looked at Hongling and said, "Hongling, if you know the whereabouts of Nanny Wan, please inform me immediately."
The scene at Shili Pavilion today made Qian Jiujiu deeply aware of how weak she is now. Even if she recovered to her heyday in the previous life, she was still facing someone with such strong inner strength.
She was still at a disadvantage, as she used to think that some poisons were too strong, but now she had to make some in order to protect herself.
Especially the bone-dissolving water, just a little bit can turn a whole person into nothingness, but you still need to be careful when carrying it with you, otherwise you may hurt yourself if you are not careful.
Qian Jiujiu went into the pharmacy this time to prepare the bone-dissolving water. In this way, if she encountered the situation like last time, as long as what was spilled was the bone-dissolving water, she would definitely not be in danger.
Hong Ling watched Qian Jiujiu enter the pharmacy and became a little worried. She came to Mu Yexiao and said, "My Lord, is there still no news from Nanny Wan?"
Mu Yexiao hummed: "No, by the way, what is the princess doing?"
Since returning to the palace yesterday, Qian Jiujiu has not been to the kitchen anymore, which makes Mu Yexiao, who has been accustomed to eating Qian Jiujiu's cooking in recent months, a little unbearable.
Moreover, after a night of such a cold war, Mu Yexiao had deeply realized how childish such behavior was, so he prepared to find Qian Jiujiu.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, but thinking that Qian Jiujiu was in a bad mood right now, even if he wanted to be angry, he shouldn't choose this time, so he took the initiative to care about what Qian Jiujiu was doing
Hong Ling lowered her head and said, "The princess has been locking herself in the pharmacy since she got up this morning. She hasn't come out yet. She just asked me to inform her when I get any news about Nanny Wan."
Mu Yexiao frowned, not knowing what Qian Jiujiu meant. Locking himself in the pharmacy and rocking his wheelchair, Mu Yexiao came to the pharmacy.
"Jiu'er, what are you doing in there?"
When Qian Jiujiu heard Mu Yexiao's voice, she paused for a moment, then pretended nothing had happened and replied, "Your Highness, I'm making medicine."
"If the prince has something to say, you can wait until I come out."
Mu Yexiao frowned tightly. Why did he feel at this moment that Qian Jiujiu was a million miles away from his heart
He wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word. Qian Jiujiu inside didn't make any sound, as if she didn't know that Mu Yexiao was standing outside.
Dongchen and Hongling, who followed over, looked at each other. Are the prince and princess having a quarrel? Why can't they understand
Mu Yexiao did not leave but just waited outside the door. Qian Jiujiu stayed in the pharmacy for two days and two nights this time. When he opened the door, the first thing he saw was.
Seeing Mu Yexiao waiting for her for such a long time outside the door, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but look up: "Your Majesty is waiting for me here early in the morning, but what's the matter? Or is there any news about Nanny Wan?"
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Can you speak properly?"
Qian Jiujiu looked puzzled: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, when have I ever failed to speak properly? If Your Majesty had not come to me because of Nanny Wan's matter."
"Then please move aside. I'm very busy. Since the prince can't find Nanny Wan, I have no choice but to go look for her myself."
In order to find Nanny Wan, Mu Yexiao searched almost the entire Kyoto these past two days. Almost all his men were mobilized, but now he had to listen to Qian Jiujiu's words.
Anger rose in his heart, and he grabbed Qian Jiujiu's hand: "Are you blaming me?"
Qian Jiujiu finally looked at Mu Yexiao formally: "Your Highness, you misunderstood! You and I have no relatives, so it's normal that you don't want to help me. If Your Highness helps, I will be very grateful to you."
"If the prince can't help me, I won't hate you. After all, I said it, this is normal."
Mu Yexiao was simply speechless after hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, so he could only let go of Qian Jiujiu: "Whatever you think."
After saying that, Mu Yexiao pushed his wheelchair away. Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao's wheelchair, lowered her eyes, blinked a few times, then raised her head and looked at Hong Ling.
But she saw Hongling looking at her with disapproval: "Hongling, do you have something to say to me?"
Hong Ling looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Princess, you misunderstood the prince. The prince has not ignored Nanny Wan, nor has he ignored your affairs. In the past two days, almost all of the prince's people have been dispatched."
"It's just that I really don't know who took Nanny Wan away. There's no news at all. By the way, the prince originally wanted to tell you something."
"That is, a strange thing happened in the Third Prince's mansion. There was originally a dungeon in the Third Prince's mansion, but on the day when Nanny Wan disappeared, all the guards in the dungeon of the Third Prince's mansion were killed by others."
When Qian Jiujiu heard the news, he immediately looked up at Hong Ling and asked, "Is the news you said true? This is really strange. How did those people die?"
Hong Ling heard Qian Jiujiu's interest and immediately started talking: "It's strange to say, the deaths of those people were also strange. They were all killed by needles."
"This matter has become a big deal now, and the whole of Kyoto is buzzing with it!"
Qian Jiujiu fell silent, but her mind was spinning rapidly. Was it what she thought? She suddenly looked up at Hong Ling: "Where is that little beggar?"
Little beggar? Hongling realized immediately that Qian Jiujiu was talking about the little beggar who came to deliver the letter. Two days had passed, and she didn't know whether he had drawn that person with the help of the painter.
"The little beggar is still with the painter. Princess, do you want to go and see him?"
Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Then let's go and take a look."
Hongling led the way and brought Qian Jiujiu to the painter. The painter had been tortured by the little beggar for the past two days and finally saw through the little beggar's mouth.
He finished drawing the portrait of the person who had been asked to deliver the letter. Just as he was about to give it to the prince, he heard that the princess had arrived. He knelt down immediately and said, "Greetings, princess."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "Get up, what's going on? Has the person in the painting come?"
The painter quickly displayed his portrait: "Princess, it has been painted. The little beggar said it was this person."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the person in the picture and couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Great, it was her! Hong Ling also looked at the person in the portrait in surprise, looking at Qian Jiujiu.
"Princess, isn't that someone from the Qian family? Or..."
What she didn't say was that it was Qian Yuge's personal maid. Last time, one of Qian Yuge's personal maids was killed, and there was only one left, but she actually came out to stir up trouble.
Qian Jiujiu also narrowed his eyes, obviously recognizing her, and looked at Hong Ling: "I didn't know about this matter, but she also participated in it."
"Let's get ready and go back to the Shangshu Mansion to see my cousin."
Hong Ling always felt that Qian Jiujiu's words were sinister, but she still nodded: "Okay, I will go prepare the carriage now, but Princess, do you want to tell Mu Yexiao before you leave?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head directly: "No need, where I go has nothing to do with him?"
Hong Ling was blocked all of a sudden, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Then I will go and call Qing Lian, so that we have at least two people to protect you, the master."
This time Qian Jiujiu did not refuse: "Okay, then go ahead."
"Then Master, please wait for me here. I will ask Qinglian to come pick you up, and then I will prepare the car."
Qian Jiujiu naturally knew that he couldn't walk back, nor could he reach the front door. At this moment, he hated his own nature of being a directionally challenged person: "I know, go ahead."
Hongling ran very fast towards Qian Jiujiu's yard. As soon as she entered, she saw Qinglian: "Qinglian, go to the painter's yard to pick up the princess and go to the gate."
"I'll go get the car ready. The princess needs to leave the house."
Qinglian responded: "Okay, I'll go now."
Seeing Qinglian leaving, Hongling finally breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, she still felt that it was inappropriate for the princess to leave the house alone, so she came to Mu Yexiao's yard.
Dongchen looked at Mu Yexiao who had just returned with a gloomy face and didn't dare to say anything. He could only blame him for standing guard at the door silently because he didn't know what had happened.
Seeing Hong Ling coming over, he wanted to find out more, but Hong Ling had no time to talk to him. She looked at Dong Chen and said, "Dong Chen, I want to find the prince."
Then she came to Mu Yexiao's door and said, "My Lord, I am Hongling. The princess is leaving the house to go to Qianfu to find her cousin. The portrait by the painter is out."
"That person turned out to be Miss Biao's personal maid, so the princess wanted to ask about it. I came here to inform you. Now I have to prepare the car."
After finishing her words in one breath, Hong Ling turned around and went to prepare the car. If she didn't hurry up, the princess would definitely figure it out, come to the yard, and tell the prince.
She was afraid that the princess would blame her. Although she didn't know why the princess suddenly became polite to the prince, Hongling knew that the princess must be angry with the prince.
Thinking of this, Hongling felt a little miserable. When the two masters had a quarrel, the ones who would suffer would definitely be the servants like them who were serving in the middle.
Soon Hongling prepared the carriage and arrived at the door: "Princess, please get in the carriage."
