Mo Rongzhan carried Ming Xi over and looked at the ground in front of him. There was a line of blood on it, which seemed to be dry. It should have been there for some time.
"Go and have a look." Mo Rongzhan said to Xue Lin, keeping Ye Zhen behind him.
"Yes." Xue Lin answered in a low voice and walked into the snow peach forest with light steps. Not long after, he said, "Your Majesty, I found it."
"You stay here with Ming Yu and Ming Xi. I'll go in and have a look." Mo Rongzhan ordered Ye Zhen, handed the child to Shen Yi for protection, and walked into the forest.
Walking along the bloodstains, he saw Xue Lin less than fifty steps away. In front of Xue Lin, there was a small body curled up on the ground. The bloodstains along the way should be left by him.
"Your Majesty, it's a child." Xue Lin said to Mo Rongzhan, "The person is still alive, but seriously injured."
Mo Rongzhan's dark eyes looked sharply at the child lying on the ground. It looked like a little boy, his face was stained, and it was difficult to judge his age.
"Take him away and let the doctor see him." Mo Rongzhan ordered in a deep voice and said to Wu Chong, "Search for suspicious people within a radius of ten miles."
Today's visit to the snow peach garden was an impromptu idea, so he believed that it was not deliberate. The key was to look at the child's injuries and the bloodstains on the ground. It should have been here last night.
Xue Lin picked up the child, only to find that the child was still holding a dagger in his hand. As Xue Lin picked him up, the dagger fell to the ground. A follower immediately brought the dagger to Mo Rongzhan for a look.
The dagger looked very ordinary, and it was not made of good material. It was just a very ordinary and somewhat blunt sword.
"What happened?" Ye Zhen, who had been waiting outside for a while without hearing any movement, came in. She was a little surprised to see Xue Lin holding a half-grown child in his arms. How could there be a child here, and it seemed that he was seriously injured?
Mo Rongzhan handed the dagger to his attendant and said to Ye Zhen, "I found an injured child. He should have been injured."
Ye Zhen was slightly stunned. She looked at the child in Xue Lin's arms and walked over to check his wounds. "These wounds are old and new. Some were left a few days ago. Who would be so cruel to such a small child?"
"Let Xue Lin take him back to heal first." Mo Rongzhan said that it would be fine if the person was already dead, but since the person was not dead, it was not right to leave a child here to die.
"It just so happens that father's manor is nearby. Let's spend the night in the manor. I think the two children haven't had enough fun yet." Ye Zhen whispered, then shook her head, "Forget it. I don't know how the child got hurt, and I don't know if there is any danger around. Let's go back to the palace."
"I've sent people to investigate. If there were still people nearby, they should have found this child long ago." Mo Rongzhan did not have the same view as Ye Zhen. The founding ceremony had just passed. No one should dare to make trouble in the capital. The fact that the child was hiding in the snow peach garden and had not been found proved this. It should be that those people did not dare to chase here for fear of being found.
Ye Zhen thought that there should be no danger since Mo Rongzhan was here and there were people in her father's manor. "It's getting dark. Let's go back to the manor first."
Mo Rongzhan nodded gently and walked out with his hand on her shoulder.
"Father, mother, what happened inside?" Ming Xi, who had been waiting outside, saw them come out. He came down from Shen Yi's arms and ran to Ye Zhen.
"Nothing, just a child was injured." Ye Zhen rubbed Ming Xi's head. "Today, we will go to uncle's manor."
Ming Xi wanted to see the person in Xue Lin's arms, but was blocked by Mo Rongzhan. "There are also many fun things in the manor. Also, give the peaches you picked today to mother."
After all, he was a child and his attention was quickly diverted.
The Ye family's manor was indeed not far from the snow peach garden. In less than half an hour, they arrived. Coincidentally, Ye Chunnan happened to be in the manor along with Tang Zhen and Lu Xiangzhi.
It turned out that after the founding ceremony yesterday, the three people had not had enough to drink, so they went to the manor and went to the mountains to hunt some game. They planned to drink together tonight.
After the greeting, Ming Xi and Ming Yu pestered Ye Chunnan to go around the manor to play. Tang Zhen was called by Mo Rongzhan to tell him something. Only Lu Xiangzhi stayed to talk to Ye Zhen.
"Yao Yao, you must not let father and mother know that I came out to drink." Lu Xiangzhi whispered to Ye Zhen. Now that his mother was staring at him so fiercely that even a little mistake could be recited all day.
"Mother won't let you come out to drink with your colleagues. Besides, isn't there a brother? Can't you just say that he brought you out? "Ye Zhen said, amused.
Lu Xiangzhi said, "You won't understand. If I don't get married for a day, mother will not let me go. She is afraid that if I come out, it will make the Su family want to break off the engagement again."
"Oh, she is afraid that you will mess around." Ye Zhen nodded in understanding. "That is possible."
"Don't blame me for Yi's matter again. By the way, I received news from Nanyue yesterday. It seems that someone took the two women away." Lu Xiangzhi lowered his voice.
Ye Zhen's eyes suddenly sank and her voice was slightly cold. "Taken away? Where did they go? Did Yi do it? "
How could he know so many questions? Lu Xiangzhi smiled bitterly. "I don't know either, but it shouldn't be him. He said that he wouldn't bring them to the capital. If that's the case, Princess Yi won't be able to face others in the mansion."
"He still knows that doing this will slap Zhao Ning's face." Ye Zhen sneered. "You only received the news yesterday. They should have left a few days ago. It seems that the people I sent could not get them."
"Maybe Yi sent someone to take them away." Lu Xiangzhi said.
"That better be the case. If not, see how I will deal with him." Ye Zhen snorted.
Xue Lin came in from outside and said to Ye Zhen, "Your Highness, the doctor said that the child's injury is too serious and may not be saved."
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly. "I will go and see."
The injured child had been simply cleaned up, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. Even Ye Zhen marveled at the beauty of the little boy when she saw him. She checked the wounds on his body. They were all knife and sword wounds, and the depth of the wounds varied. It seemed that he was not injured by the same person. Was he being chased by someone? Was he being hunted?
Such a small child, how could he survive being hunted?
"I will bandage his wounds." Ye Zhen said lightly. There were too many wounds. He needed her medicine to keep him alive.
