After a long time, the guard who had gone down before finally poked his head out from the bottom of the lake. He said with surprise, "Your Highness, there is a very deep karst cave at the bottom of the lake. I suspect that it can lead to the outside."
Wei Lin frowned and said, "But even so, Master Qingchen can't go out." Looking at the two guards, he knew that they were almost out of breath. Master Qingchen's body couldn't be more suffocating than the guards of the Prince Ding Mansion. What's more … did Master Qingchen know how to swim?
Ye Li's eyebrows relaxed slightly and said, "My eldest brother naturally didn't leave by himself."
"Your Highness, do you mean that someone took Master Qingchen away?" Zhuo Jing asked. One of the guards who was still soaking in the lake raised a jade pendant and said, "Your Highness, I found this at the bottom of the lake."
Wei Lin stepped forward and took it. It was indeed the jade pendant that Xu Qingchen usually wore. The silk ribbon that tied the jade pendant was not broken, but the jade pendant was found in the lake. Obviously, someone deliberately threw it there. Holding the jade pendant, Ye Li thought for a while and asked, "Can you go through?"
"I'm incompetent. I'm afraid … I've swam very far, but I still can't feel the location of the exit. And … this is the mountain. Even if there is an exit, I'm afraid it's not enough." The guard apologized.
Ye Li waved her hand and said, "How can I blame you? You can get up first. Wei Lin, send people to secretly investigate all the places within a radius of five li. Record down all the places with ponds and rivers. Zhuo Jing, see if there are any people who live by the sea who can dive for a long time. Let them try from here. "
"Yes, Your Highness." The two men said in unison.
Originally, they thought that they had news of Xu Qingchen, but they didn't expect to be happy for nothing. But at least they had news of Xu Qingchen. Although Ye Li was worried about Xu Qingchen's safety, she could only return to the city first.
But at this time, because of Dongfang You's sudden disappearance, Nanjing City was turbulent. The Prince Li's Mansion sent people to search everywhere. Ye Li was still walking on the street with Zhuo Jing and Wei Lin, who had disguised themselves. On the other hand, Dongfang You had been sent back to the Chu Mansion in the city. Ye Li did not intend to use Dongfang You as a chess piece now. It was not a good thing to alert the enemy. When Mo Jingli left Nanjing, Dongfang You and Mountain would be much more useful.
Dongfang You was brought back to the Chu Mansion in a box. Mo Jingli, who was frantically looking for Dongfang You, naturally did not expect that Dongfang You would be unconsciously put in a box and brought back to Nanjing like goods. .................... when Dongfang...........................................
Opening the box, Dongfang You had already woken up. ............................. of...... of Ye So even if she woke up, she could only curl up in the box and wait helplessly for someone to let her out. Dongfang You's life was smooth. Except for the time when Xu Qingchen couldn't get what she wanted and when she was forced to marry Mo Jingli, Dongfang You had never been wronged, let alone treated like this. So, as soon as the box was opened, Wei Lin felt Dongfang You's sharp gaze.
Wei Lin shrugged. He picked Dongfang You up and threw her into the chair next to him. Dongfang You glared at the person on the main seat angrily. But when she saw the handsome man sitting on the main seat, she was stunned. "It's you?!"
Ye Li smiled faintly and nodded. "Miss Dongfang, you've been wronged."
It was Chu Junwei, but it was Ye Li's voice. Dongfang You's face suddenly became very ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Li, it's you! How dare you … "Master Chu, whom she liked at the chrysanthemum appreciation party, was actually Ye Li in disguise. This was absolutely more embarrassing for Dongfang You than anything else. But at this time, she didn't have the time to care about Ye Li's trick. She asked hurriedly, "Where is Master Qingchen?"
Ye Li shook her head helplessly. Dongfang You's feelings for Xu Qingchen were definitely deep. Unfortunately, she used the wrong method. And Xu Qingchen really didn't have any thoughts about her. It was never a matter of one person to want two people to love each other. If Dongfang You only wanted to silently hinder Xu Qingchen and not interfere with anyone else, Ye Li naturally wouldn't mock her feelings. However, if the other party had already rejected him in a righteous manner, it would be too much to force him to do anything if he continued to pester him or even use all sorts of methods.
"The Prince Ding Mansion will take care of Big Brother's matter. If Miss Dongfang has time, you should think about yourself." Ye Li said calmly.
"I want to see Master Qingchen!" Dongfang You screamed.
Ye Li frowned and said, "We haven't found Big Brother yet."
"I want to see Master Qingchen!" Dongfang You continued to scream as if she didn't hear Ye Li's words. Ye Li sighed helplessly, "There's nothing to talk about. Miss Dongfang, please go and rest."
"Ye Li! I want to see Master Qingchen! "Dongfang You glared at Ye Li, as if she was an evil mother-in-law who broke up an affectionate couple. Ye Li looked at her with a frown and asked faintly, "Miss Dongfang, these days, have you thought of Madam Dongfang?" Dongfang You was slightly shocked and her face suddenly turned pale.
Ye Li waved her hand and asked someone to take her away.
Perhaps because Ye Li suddenly mentioned Dongfang Hui, Dongfang You was taken away in a daze.
"Princess, I didn't expect that you would bring back such an amazing person." At the door, Yaoji stood at the door and looked at Ye Li with a smile. Ye Li raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Yaoji who came in person. She said, "Why are you here?"
Yaoji smiled and said, "Prince Li is looking for someone all over the city. I know something big must have happened. But I didn't expect that Princess Li was missing. "Ye Li was a little curious," Didn't Mo Jingli announce this? "
Yaoji covered her mouth and smiled, "I'm afraid that Mo Jingli has already determined that Dongfang You escaped with Master Qingchen. Why would he announce it and embarrass himself? I'm afraid that he would never expect that the Princess Regent he is looking for is in the Chu Mansion which is not far from Prince Li's Mansion. How is it? Is there any news of Master Qingchen? "
Ye Li frowned slightly and shook her head. Yaoji sighed softly and said, "Princess, don't worry. Master Qingchen is a good person. Nothing will happen to him. By the way, I came here in person for a proper business. "
Ye Li looked at her with a smile. Yaoji waved the invitation in her hand and said with a smile, "Prince Li is going to go to war, but he is a little short of military funds. So he wants to invite the rich and powerful people in the city to a banquet and borrow money from everyone?"
Ye Li was stunned and said after a while, "So, Mo Jingli wants to borrow money from me to attack the Mohist army?"
Yaoji smiled and said, "Who asked the Chu family to be a famous family in Da Chu State?"
