Feng Zhiyao said seriously, "The people in the palace have already explored Yaohua Palace. Yaohua Palace was built by the late Emperor, and there are no secret passages. But the lotus pond in Yaohua Palace was not artificially dug, and it is the same as the river in the palace. The Shadow Guard suspects that the princess was taken from the water. And … it should have been before the fire. "
"And?"
"And the bodies of Ye Zhaoyi and Sixth Prince, although they have been burned beyond recognition. But the Shadow Guard who secretly checked was sure that the female body was not Ye Zhaoyi. As for Sixth Prince … if Ye Zhaoyi is a fake, then Sixth Prince is most likely still alive. "
Mo Xiuyao sneered, "Very well, two people in the palace are dead, and five people including Ye Zhaoyi and Sixth Prince are missing. However, the secret guards of my Ding Palace do not know anything. "
Feng Zhiyao sighed helplessly in his heart. Since the princess disappeared, the Prince's breath became more and more frightening. Just a few words, without any anger, but the people who heard it couldn't help but feel cold all over. No wonder the others didn't want to come in and pushed him in to die. "What's the movement of those people in the capital?"
"Mo Jingqi is secretly sending people to look around. He doesn't know the whereabouts of the princess. Mo Jingli didn't do anything. After leaving the palace that day, he went straight back home. These days, he did what he should do as usual. Other people didn't do anything, and no suspicious people came in or out of the capital recently. "Ye Li seemed to disappear out of thin air. Feng Zhiyao was also helpless. No one thought that someone would dare to set fire to the palace and kidnap the princess. It happened so suddenly that when they wanted to find clues, all the useful clues had disappeared.
"If Ye Yue is not dead, she must still be in the palace. I want to see her in three days. It may not be difficult to hide an adult in the palace, but it's not so easy to hide a baby who doesn't know anything. "Mo Xiuyao said in a low voice.
"Understood." Feng Zhiyao respectfully accepted the order. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "There's one more thing … Princess's Shadow Guard, Shadow One, Shadow Two, Shadow Three, and Shadow Four, have all disappeared."
Mo Xiuyao was stunned. "Missing?"
Feng Zhiyao nodded and said, "These two days, after Princess Consort disappeared, they went to the Shadow Guard Commander for punishment. Because Princess Consort hasn't been found yet, they suppressed it first. But this morning, we discovered that all four of them had gone missing. "Mo Xiuyao lowered his eyebrows in thought for a moment before saying," Don't worry about them for now. "
"Yes."
In a secret courtyard on the outskirts of Chu capital
Ye Li was bored to death as she sat by the flowerbed, staring blankly at the peach tree she had just planted. The two maidservants who accompanied her every day, who were suspected to be mutes, stood at a distance, waiting for her orders. Reaching out to poke at the flower buds on the peach tree, Ye Li twisted her lips and played with the flowers and grass beside her. She had lived in this place for five days already. As Xiaoyun had said, everything was taken care of very well except for Xiaoyun who persistently put drugs in her food. However, if she insisted on putting drugs in every meal, it meant that the effects would not last long. Xiaoyun, who was skilled in medicine, clearly did not know that there was a kind of person who had astounding resistance to drugs. Maybe she knew, but she did not think that Ye Li was one of them. Ye Li's present body was not as good as before when she had undergone specialized anti-poison training, but since she knew from a young age that she was going to enter the wang fu in the future, she had done some targeted training and conditioning.
Xiaoyun and the master behind her clearly did not have any intentions of truly harming her, so the drugs she put in were not harmful to the body. This meant that the effects of the drugs would not last long, but it was enough to deal with normal people. Now, every time Xiaoyun put in the drugs, she would be able to move freely for at least an hour. However, Ye Li was not in a hurry to escape. Even if she usually only saw Xiaoyun and a few servant girls who were not willing to speak, she could still keenly feel that there were many people watching her in the dark. With her body that had just recovered from the effects of the drugs, it would be difficult for her to escape.
"Miss, I heard that you did not eat anything today. Is it because the servants did not make it to Miss's liking?" Xiaoyun appeared in the garden and looked at Ye Li who was pulling out the grass. Her eyes twitched. "Miss, that … …" Ye Li looked up and waved the grass in her hand, "You mean this? It will affect the peach tree's growth if it grows here, so I'm pulling it out. I have nothing to do anyway. Miss Xiaoyun, is there something you need? "
Xiaoyun looked with heartache at the grass that Ye Li had thrown to the ground and forced a smile, "Miss, if you don't like it, I'll have someone clean it up. How can I let Miss do it yourself? Xiaoyun also had someone make some snacks. Does Miss want to eat some? "
Ye Li shook her head and sighed, "It's really boring here. With nothing to do all day, how can I eat anything? Can you tell your Young Master that I've disturbed him for so long, it's time for me to leave. "
Xiaoyun smiled without any change in expression, "Young Master is not in the manor now. Even if Xiaoyun has the guts, she wouldn't dare to neglect Young Master's guests. So, if Miss wants to leave, you'll have to wait for Young Master to come back. "
"I know." Ye Li said calmly, "I don't have much of an appetite these two days, so I won't eat the snacks. Miss Xiaoyun, you can go do what you need to do. "
Xiaoyun looked at Ye Li for a while, as if she was evaluating the truth in her words. In the end, she nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll have someone send it over when Miss is hungry. When Young Master comes back, this servant will immediately invite Young Master to see Miss. "Bowing, Xiaoyun turned and left. Ye Li looked at her back as she left. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she picked up the weeds even faster.
Just as Ye Li was about to pluck out half of the grass in the flowerbed, Xiao Yun finally came to invite Ye Li to meet her master with a face that could no longer smile. Ye Li threw away the grass in her hands and patted the dust off her hands. She then left with Xiaoyun with the help of the two maidservants. Ye Li was helped into an empty room not far from her room. The moment she entered, she saw a tall figure sitting behind a translucent screen. The two maidservants helped her to a chair and respectfully left. Xiaoyun threw a resentful look at Ye Li and also left. When she left, she didn't forget to close the door. Ye Li couldn't help but laugh. She guessed that Xiaoyun wouldn't be able to tolerate her for long. After all, if she gave her two more days, she would be able to pluck all the precious weeds in her yard.
"What's so funny?" A man's deep voice came from behind the screen.
Ye Li leaned against the chair and smiled at the faintly discernible figure, "I want to laugh because I'm in a good mood."
"Good mood? Aren't you worried at all? Don't you want to know why you're here? Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? "
Ye Li lazily said, "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. Why waste our time? As for why I'm here ….. Speaking of which, to be able to bring me out of the palace without anyone knowing, it seems like your skills aren't small. "The man seemed to be in a good mood as he gave a low laugh," What's the big deal about bringing you out of the palace? It's already been seven days and you're at the foot of the capital, but ….. Whether it's your trash husband or that high and mighty person in the palace, they couldn't even find a corner of your clothes. "Ye Li shrugged and said," Alright, then it seems like you do have some skills. Also, you were able to get Ye Yue to help you plot against me. This time, I didn't fall for nothing. "
