Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan rushed to Qingluan Hall, and Tao Zhi, who was so anxious that he was in a hurry, hurried forward to salute, and reported: "His Royal Highness, the imperial concubine is gone."
Shen Zhiyan glanced around and asked, "When did you miss me, please tell me what happened in detail."
"About half an hour ago, my servant went to the imperial dining room to see how the meal preparations for the birthday banquet were. The palace servants waited for half an hour before coming back. The slaves intend to report to the noble concubine, but they have searched all over the main hall and sleeping hall but have not found the noble concubine."
"After you left, is there no palace servant to serve the concubine?" Murong Ci didn't care about Concubine Xiao's whereabouts, life or death, but wanted to know how Murong Yu would react when he heard about it.
"I don't know. The imperial concubine doesn't like the palace people to stay by all the time." Tao Zhi cried anxiously, "Besides, today is the imperial concubine's birthday, and the palace people in Qingluan Palace are busy. Before that, all the palace people were busy The banquet table for the birthday banquet is placed here."
Murong Ci looked over, and there were banquet tables in the vestibule. There were about a hundred of them, which was quite spectacular.
Shen Zhiyan exchanged a glance with her, and said, "Call the palace servants who are close to the imperial concubine."
Tao Zhi turned around and beckoned, a servant and a court lady came quickly and saluted them.
The sun was still very strong at this time, Shen Zhiyan squinted his eyes and asked, "What are you doing these two hours?"
The palace maid replied: "This afternoon, the servant did not go to serve the nobleman, but set up a banquet with everyone outside."
The waiter answered in the same way.
"Didn't you pay attention to the movements in the hall?" Murong Ci asked.
"No." The servant and maid shook their heads together.
"Your Highness, Lord Shen, this servant guessed that after this servant left, the imperial concubine rested in the hall and did not summon the palace servants to serve her." Taozhi said, "The servant has already sent people to search Qingluan Palace before, but no noble concubine was found. What should I do now? "
Shen Zhiyan ordered the servant and maid: "Go and ask the other palace people respectively, go to the side hall and ask, who has seen the noble concubine within this hour."
The servant and maid went to take orders.
Murong Ci said calmly: "Zhiyan, let's go to the hall to have a look, maybe we can find clues."
Tao Zhi hurriedly led them into the hall. Today is Concubine Xiao's big day, the main hall and bedroom are decorated very festively, with red silk fluttering, many exotic flowers are placed, and the dark fragrance is floating.
They are inspecting the main hall now, not letting go of every nook and cranny.
After a while, they met and shook their heads, indicating that they hadn't found it.
Then, they went to the bedroom to inspect.
Murong Ci couldn't help being speechless, Concubine Xiao's bedroom is really luxurious, every item is a treasure in the world, it seems that the emperor really loved her these few years and rewarded her with many good things.
"Everything in the main hall and bedroom is as usual, and there are no signs of fighting or struggling."
"Tao Zhi, take a look to see if there is any difference." Shen Zhiyan ordered.
"Yes." Taozhi glanced around hastily, and replied, "It's the same as before."
"Be careful, don't worry, don't panic."
"Yes." She glanced at every inch like them.
Murong Ci walked to the west window, his eyes fixed, his thin lips curled slightly, "I found it."
Taozhi and Shen Zhiyan walked over immediately, and happily asked, "What did you find?"
Murong Ci pointed to the faint footprints on the window sill, "This footprint should be left by the person who took the imperial concubine away."
Shen Zhiyan measured it with his hands, "The footprints are not big, so they shouldn't be the footprints of a man."
Tao Zhi opened her eyes in surprise, "Could it be that the person who took away the imperial concubine was a woman?"
Murong Ci leaned out and looked outside, "There is a foundation under the window, and there are no footprints. The person who kidnapped Concubine Xiao should have stepped on the window sill and then flew out."
Shen Zhiyan continued: "That man possesses martial arts."
Taozhi became more anxious and scared, "Why did that person take the concubine away? Will that person hurt the concubine?"
Murong Ci and Shen Zhiyan walked out at the same time, Tao Zhi was stunned, and then quickly followed.
They came to the west window of the dormitory, looking for things on the ground like a cat, as if there was gold on the ground.
"Your Highness, Lord Shen, what are you looking for?" Tao Zhi couldn't help asking.
"There is a footprint over here, about the size of the footprint on the window sill." Murong Ci pointed to a certain place on the ground.
"There is also a footprint here, which should be left by the thief." Shen Zhiyan stood there and said, "The footprints left by the thief are very few. That man has done a lot of light work."
"There are so many people in the Qingluan Hall and the guards are tight, but the thief was able to take away a living person in broad daylight without leaving any traces, which shows that the deployment is careful and the actions are secretive." Compared with people, they are really equal.
Shen Zhiyan came over, stroked his chin and said: "There are so many guards in the palace, and the inspections are strict. How did the thief take the noble concubine out of Qingluan Palace, how did he avoid so many eyes and ears?"
She resolutely said: "There is only one possibility: that person is very familiar with the imperial palace, and he took a small path to avoid the guards."
Tao Zhi listened to their analysis, and was amazed when she was frightened, "Where did the thief take the imperial concubine?"

sp;The three of them heard the applause and turned around to look at the same time. Murong Yu walked over quickly, walking like a dragon or a tiger.
The sun is shining in the sky, and the thin and transparent sunlight shines on the universe, flying brilliantly in the mid-air. He came dressed in golden sunlight, the black light robe was so thick in color, it was blurred by the sunlight, and even his face was blurred.
Tao Zhi seemed to have seen the straw to save her life, and hurried over to salute and report: "My lord, your concubine was taken away by thieves."
Murong Yu nodded slightly, looked at the two people behind, "Do you have any clues?"
Shen Zhiyan saw that His Highness was silent, so he said: "It is preliminarily concluded that the thief who kidnapped Concubine Xiao should be a woman with a lot of light skills, and this person is very familiar with the palace, so it should be someone from the palace who committed the crime."
Murong Ci stared at Murong Yu, with mockery in his eyes: Murong Yu, you must be very nervous.
Murong Yu glanced at her indifferently, then turned and left.
Shen Zhiyan turned to look at His Highness, surprised, His Highness had a strange expression.
When he came to the hallway of the main hall, Murong Yu's face was cold, and he ordered the guards: "Search the entire palace for the assassin."
Murong Ci said clearly: "Don't disturb the Qingyuan Palace."
The guard took the order and went.
At this time, the servants and maids came back to report that no one had seen Concubine Xiao during this hour.
Tao Zhi knelt down suddenly, her eyes turned red with anxiety, "My lord, the noble concubine has been captured, you have to save the noble concubine."
Murong Ci personally helped her up, "Don't worry, the noble concubine is the head of all the concubines in the harem, how could the prince let the noble concubine have something to do?"
Why does Shen Zhiyan feel that His Highness's tone is a bit yin and yang.
"Master Shen, what do you think?" Murong Yu's snow-colored face did not show any joy or anger.
"My lord, this matter is indeed strange. The official can only preliminarily conclude that the thief who kidnapped Concubine Xiao is very likely to be a person in the palace, and a woman." Shen Zhiyan said with shame, "There are so many palaces, one by one, one by one. Searching from time to time is time-consuming.”
"Perhaps Concubine Xiao Gui offended someone, and that person wants revenge." Murong Ci said coolly.
When Murong Yu turned around, his indifferent eyes swept over her, and he walked into the hall: "Your Highness, come in with me."
She smiled slightly, "I'm going to find the imperial concubine, Zhiyan, let's go."
He stopped leisurely, and his soft voice floated like catkins, "Your Majesty needs to rest, do you want His Majesty to worry about this?"
For her, this is a bloody and heartbreaking speech.
She gritted her teeth secretly, and followed into the hall bitterly.
Shen Zhiyan frowned, has the relationship between His Highness and Yu Wang returned to the past
Tit for tat, bombardment.
Murong Ci saw Murong Yu walking towards the bedroom, so she didn't want to enter Concubine Xiao's bedroom again, so she stood at the entrance, smiled and said, "What advice does your lord have?"
"You are very happy." He came over, with shadows in his eyes.
"What's so happy about this Gong?" She seemed to have been caught, and snorted coldly with a guilty conscience.
"This king seems to smell a strong sour smell." His sword eyebrows were flying, and his smile was half a smile.
"It smells sour and powdery." She squinted at him.
"The sour smell of vinegar." Murong Yu suddenly leaned over and sniffed deeply at the side of her face, "It comes from you."
Murong Ci took two steps to the side, "How could I? I'm not jealous today."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that there was something wrong with the words and fell into a pit dug by him, and she couldn't help becoming annoyed.
He slanted his thin lips, "You're not jealous, why are you acting weird?"
She said angrily: "If I say no, then there will be no."
After that, she walked away, she didn't want to say these inexplicable words to him in Concubine Xiao's bedroom.
Murong Yu grabbed her wrist, and with a touch of lightness, she spun back and landed in his arms. Because she didn't stand still, she leaned slightly on her back, she quickly stabilized her body, and she didn't know that he had already bowed her head and kissed her.
This movement was done in one go, as smooth as spring water.
He pecked the tender lips densely, and the longing for the past few days seemed to be relieved a little, but it poured out like a flood, the torrent was rolling and surging. He kissed deeper and deeper, and the deeper he wanted, the more he wanted to swallow her beautiful soft lips whole.
She pushed him angrily and embarrassingly, "let go"
Murong Yu didn't like to fight, but he still hugged her and whispered in her ear: "It's watery and light red, so delicate and charming."
Murong Ci was about to explode in anger, his fists were clenched tightly, and he slammed his fists at his hateful handsome face.
What's not good, it must be in Concubine Xiao's bedroom
He quickly clasped her fist, took advantage of the situation, and hugged her whole, "Did you miss me these few days?"
"Of course." She gritted her teeth, "I have always been thinking about your head."
"Alright, it's better than nothing." He smiled softly.
someone came in
Murong Ci pushed him away in a panic, tidied himself up, and walked out.
Shen Zhiyan couldn't help being surprised when he saw His Highness's face flushed, "Your Highness, my lord, the guards seem to have found Concubine Xiao."
Looking at Yu Wang again, Yu Wang is calm and calm, without changing his face, then how could His Highness be so angry with Yu Wang
