The night was as black as ink, and the dim light and shadows of the front yard scattered all over the place. The cold wind blew past, chilling people, and the messy shadows of the branches shook all over the ground.
Murong Ci frowns, with a shallow line between his brows, and his anxious expression can be seen at a glance.
Who was Shen Zhili kidnapped
Now, she has no clue. Logically speaking, Shen Zhili has not been back to Beijing for long, and he has no grievances with the people in the palace, so there shouldn't be any accidents.
the only possibility is
She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to believe it.
Or Shen Zhili has a personal grievance with someone in the palace, she just doesn't know about it, anything is possible.
She didn't want to think about it any more, and turned to another matter, the master of Baihualou.
I always feel that the back of the owner of Baihualou is a bit familiar, but I can’t remember which person it is, but what puzzles her the most is why the owner wanted her to accompany him for five days and five nights, why did he see her alone, why did he play that game with her, and why did he finally let go? they leave
In the past few days, these questions have been circling in her heart, and she can't figure it out.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she was preoccupied, Murong Yu knew that she had something on her mind.
"Nothing." Murong Ci said flatly.
"The landlord of Baihualou is mysterious and unpredictable. The most puzzling thing is why he wants you to stay with him for five days and five nights." When he thought of this, he became angry. The woman who covets him is looking for death
She looked at him in astonishment, why can he always understand her thoughts? Is he the roundworm in her stomach
He chuckled, "I sent people to make a big fuss in Baihualou's lair, making them restless, and the landlord was furious. It's a pity we didn't see him jumping."
She also wanted to see how the landlord jumped in anger, "How did your hands make trouble?"
"Explode here, blow up there, set a fire here, and set thousands of snakes, rats and ants over there. They were busy putting out the fire to repair the holes, busy driving away the snakes, rats and ants, and they were turned on their backs."
"Ahahaha" Murong Ci laughed happily, the nine-story flower hall of Baihua Building must be a mess.
Murong Yu stared at her quietly, her smile was like a flower, her face was as bright as a jade, her features were picturesque in the dim light and shadow, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
She noticed that his warm eyes were full of deep affection, and she looked away in embarrassment.
There was silence for a while, only the cold wind rustled the leaves, which seemed to be the intimate whispers between lovers.
After waiting for another half an hour, the people sent out came back to report one after another, but Shen Zhili was still not found.
Murong Ci's face was sullen, it was so late, if Shen Zhili hadn't died, he would have been under house arrest for several hours.
where is she locked up
"What should I do?" Murong Ci asked seriously.
"Wait for the ghost to come back." Murong Yu said lightly, and took her little hand to walk inside, "It's windy outside, go back to the room and drink tea."
“This palace is not cold”
She couldn't resist his toughness, so she went to the study to drink tea.
After drinking hot tea, it is indeed warmer, "Can ghosts be found by one person?"
He laughed and asked, "You thought there was only one person in the ghost image?"
She was stunned again, "Isn't it?"
He didn't answer, just drank his tea casually.
Murong Ci thought about it carefully, Ghosting is one of his secret guards, could it be that his secret guards are not only two but also many
think carefully
It turns out that Murong Yu has kept a large number of secret guards, no wonder he is so arrogant
But, why did he tell her this secret? Isn't he afraid that she will be on guard? Isn't he afraid that she will check how many hidden guards he has
"I want to know how many hidden guards I have." Murong Yu stretched out his hand to her, meaning to hold her hand.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch." She sat opposite him, "I don't think you will tell me for nothing."
"It's okay to tell you, you can't imagine, it's everywhere." He raised his eyebrows lightly.
Murong Ci's mind tensed, everywhere means countless
It's no wonder that his eyes and ears are pervasive in the various countries. He knows exactly what's going on in the various countries, and he can even find the extremely mysterious lair of Baihualou. These hidden guards alone are better than the power she cultivated, not to mention the brave and skilled soldiers under his command.
She asked: "Where is that lair? It's more mysterious than Baihualou's lair. Be careful, the landlord will find out your lair and give you a fatal blow."
"Sit in my arms, and I'll tell you where the lair is, and even take you to see it." Murong Yu chuckled wickedly, and threw out an olive branch.
"Dreaming" she squinted at him, "Shen Zhili's whereabouts are unknown, can you stop saying these words at this time?"
"Her life and death have nothing to do with me," he said softly.
She choked, but she choked on a sweet date, and the sweet smell slipped into her throat and reached her heart.
He suddenly said: "Maybe the owner of Baihua Building knows you."
Murong Ci said firmly: "Impossible, I have never seen him before."
"Are you sure the face we saw must be his real face?"
"That's true. Then who is he, I don't know anything."
"I'll check and find out."
She glanced at him, as if she could only hope for him.
again
After waiting for two cups of tea, the ghost finally came back. She asked anxiously, "Did you find Miss Shen?"
Ghosting replied: "I didn't find it, but my subordinates feel that a place is a bit weird."
"Where's How Weird"
"There are a few deserted palaces in the northwest corner of the palace. They should have been used by palace people. The subordinates saw a servant sneaking out of there."
"Didn't you go in and have a look?" Murong Ci said anxiously.
"Your subordinates are worried that they will startle the snake, so come back and report first." Gui Ying knew that the prince's feelings for His Highness had sublimated, otherwise he would not have paid attention to him with the prince's attitude.
Murong Yu walked out swiftly, "Let's go."
Murong Ci, Murong Yu and the others rushed to the deserted palace in the northwest corner. The place was desolate and desolate, with fallen leaves and confetti flying all over the sky, giving people a eerie feeling.
More than a dozen palace lanterns illuminated every nook and cranny, mice and cockroaches fled one after another, and there were soft rustling sounds all around.
He ordered in a deep voice: "Search"
The guards were divided into several teams and quickly broke into each palace to search, bringing a gust of wind.
Murongci prayed to God, hoping to find Shen Zhili as soon as possible.
After waiting for a while, a voice came from one of the palace rooms: "Here"
She and Murong Yu rushed over immediately, the dim light and shadow illuminated the messy and cobweb-strewn palace room, and there was a terrified woman sitting on the floor by the wall.
The woman's hands and feet were tied, and she couldn't move at all. Her clothes were dirty, her bun was messy, and her hair was flying around her temples.
It really is Shen Zhili
The guard untied her, and she slowly stood up and walked over step by step.
It was slow, and the steps were small, but firm. Her delicate and soft little face was also dirty, and there was only a little panic left in her eyes, filled with tears, sad and touching, full of frailty, softening the iron bones and hearts of all men in the world.
Murong Ci couldn't help admiring her, this is a soft and tough woman.
"Are you OK"
Before the end sound landed, Shen Zhili walked up to Murong Yu and bowed weakly, "Thank you, my lord, for bowing down to save my daughter."
The voice was weak and hoarse, making it even more pitiful.
Murong Ci couldn't help sighing, once a woman is deeply involved in feelings, she only has her sweetheart in her eyes.
Body like a thin willow in the wind, unable to bear the ravages of the cold wind, Shen Zhili's legs suddenly went limp.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Murong Ci reflexively made a support movement, but Murong Yu was faster, grabbed her arm and supported her. She grabbed his long arm, and then leaned towards him, limp, as if she was unable to stand still.
Murong Ci stared blankly, well, being tied up and locked up for several hours without a drop of water would indeed make him very weak.
Shen Zhili was like a catkin floating on his body, unable to get rid of it, as soft as boneless, light and floating.
Murong Yu let go and backed away. When she lost her support and fell down, Ghost Shadow took over, grabbed her with one hand, but immediately threw her to the two guards, and said coldly, "Escort Miss Shen."
Sick and weak women are really troublesome, but women like Qin Ruo are better, they are pleasing to the eye.
Shen Zhili was thrown around like a delicate flower withered from its branches, her fate was bleak and sympathetic.
Murong Ci felt pity in his heart, and said: "Be gentle."
However, she admired Murong Yu's courage to let go just now.
For some reason, she felt unspeakably happy
Those two guards supported Shen Zhili to go out, she motioned for a guard to light up and observe in this palace room.
Murong Yu looked from the other side, hoping to find clues.
After looking around, the two of them didn't find anything, so they went back to Cunmo Pavilion.
"The person who kidnapped Miss Shen acted cleanly and neatly, without leaving any clues." He said in a deep voice.
"I guessed it, otherwise that person would not dare to blatantly kidnap someone in the palace." Murong said resigned.
In the Cunmo Pavilion, the court ladies waited on Shen Zhili to simply scrub, change clothes, and drink tea. After the panic subsided, Shen Zhili came to the hall.
She bowed gracefully: "My daughter pays homage to the lord and His Highness the Crown Prince. My lord and Your Highness have saved your life, and my daughter will never forget it."
As for the fact that Yu Wang let go of her hand and did not help her in the palace just now, she gave him a reasonable explanation: so many people watched, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was there, he must abide by etiquette.
"Get up." Murong Ci signaled Qin Ruo to help her.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Zhili sat on a chair beside Qin Ruo with the help of Qin Ruo.
"Do you still remember the situation when you were taken into captivity?" Murong Yu asked coldly.
"My daughter came out of the upper study room. She suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then my daughter lost consciousness." She said slowly, occasionally raising her eyes to look at the heroic and powerful man she liked, "My daughter woke up When I was in that palace, my hands and feet were bound."
"So, you didn't see your captor." Murong Ci continued to ask, "Did anyone visit you during the few hours you were locked in that palace?"
"Yes." Shen Zhili replied, his voice still hoarse, "My daughter kept calling for help, but no one responded to my daughter. After some time, my daughter saw a black shadow flashing outside the window, and then my daughter saw a black shadow on the window paper. The hole. The courtier guessed that the person who captured the courtier should be standing outside the window to watch the courtier."
"Other than that, the man didn't do anything to you"
"No, that person just imprisoned the courtier's daughter in that palace."
