Even if he had thousands of doubts, Xuan Tianyan still chose to go to Crystal courtyard to see Feng Fendai first. After all, no matter how big of a matter happened in the capital, it was not his turn to care. His brothers, which one of them was more promising than him, which one of them had more power than him, he was just an idle prince, a prince who only knew how to talk about love in the eyes of outsiders, what right did he have to care about Dashun's safety? Moreover, didn't Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng return to the capital early? Old Sixth also returned to the capital, with them holding the fort, this capital would not fall into chaos.
Xuan Tianyan threw away his responsibilities completely, he was not willing to care about any matters related to court politics. At this moment, he was only thinking about whether Feng Fendai was safe, whether Xiao Bao had already returned to Crystal courtyard.
The sound of the door being knocked was heard, the gatekeeper inside opened the door very quickly, seeing that it was Xuan Tianyan, he quickly knelt down to greet him. But Xuan Tianyan did not have the leisure to deal with these servants, heading straight for Feng Fendai's courtyard and entering.
The servants did not rush to stop him, only guessing what had happened to cause the Fifth Prince to be so flustered.
At this moment, Feng Fendai had not slept, leaning on the bed and thinking about things. She kept thinking about what she heard Yu Qianyin say to the person beside her before she left, the other party said: I can still remember the appearance of the Feng family's Third Miss, although there is not much time, but there is still some confidence that I can achieve a 60-70% resemblance, the rest, I will perfect it bit by bit!
Fendai could not understand what that meant, what 60-70% resemblance? What perfect it bit by bit? That Yu Qianyin was really strange, the things she did and the things she said were all strange.
While she was thinking, she heard Dong Ying shout from outside: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince? Why did you come at this time? Our Young Miss has already fallen asleep. "
Following that was Xuan Tianyan's voice: "She has fallen asleep? That means, she is in the manor? "
"That's right! Young Miss is currently sleeping in the room! "
She could hear that Xuan Tianyan had clearly let out a sigh of relief, saying: "That's good, that's good, I was really afraid of her … … forget it, let's not talk about this, open the door, I just need to take a look at her."
Feng Fendai frowned as she listened, she did not find it strange that Xuan Tianyan suddenly returned from the hunting grounds, after all Xiao Bao disappeared, Xuan Tianyan would definitely be anxious. But why did he let out a sigh of relief when he heard that she was in the residence?
She got up and got off the floor. Without waiting for Dong Ying to open the door, she pulled it open herself and asked with a cold face, "Why are you back? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? "
When Xuan Tianyan saw her, he first looked her up and down then really let out a long sigh in front of Fendai, saying: "It's good that you came back, I was really worried that something would happen to you. You don't know, but there were traces of a fight on the way from the hunting grounds to the capital. I chased after you all the way back because I was worried that you would come out. Now that I see you safe and sound, I'm relieved. "
Xuan Tianyan was really frightened, he almost did not dare to imagine what he would do if something happened to Feng Fendai. After so many years, it was not easy for him to find such a spiritual sustenance. He did not want to return to the muddle-headed days of the past. He did not want to raise countless women in the Li Palace just because those women were a little bit like that person in the past. He wanted to protect Feng Fendai well, even if this girl frequently sought death, as long as he was around, he would be able to protect her safety. Heavens knew what kind of feelings he had when he saw the traces of a fight on the road, once that terrifying feeling of loss struck, it was very hard to let go.
Feng Fendai frowned when she heard this, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved, she was not a rock, she could naturally see that the Fifth Prince treated her well, but her personality was too awkward and she just did not want to admit it. Just like now, she clearly felt it, but the words she said were: "Then you have seen it now, I am safe, you can return."
"But … …" Xuan Tianyan took a step forward, asking anxiously: "Did Xiao Bao come back with you?"
Hearing him ask about Xiao Bao, Dong Ying quivered and almost exposed herself, if not for the fact that the Fifth Prince's attention was always on Fendai, Dong Ying's reaction would have been fatal.
But compared to Dong Ying, Feng Fendai was much calmer, she immediately asked Xuan Tianyan: "Xiao Bao? Why did he come back with me? Wasn't he with you when I left? We agreed that you would bring him to play in the hunting grounds for a few more days! "
Hearing this, Xuan Tianyan's mind exploded with a "weng" sound. Xiao Bao did not come back! Xiao Bao did not come back! What did that mean? Such a young child sitting in a horse carriage alone, and there were traces of a fight on the road, this meant that something happened to that child!
He was a little flustered, this kind of fluster landed in Feng Fendai's eyes, and she could not bear to see it. She clearly knew that this man treated her sincerely, but she was still awkward and kept finding trouble with him. This prince who looked high and mighty in the past, the person whom she tried her best to curry favour with, had already changed over time, and she gradually looked down on him. But looking down on him was just looking down on him, she still felt guilty about this matter. Things had been forced to this extent, but she could not speak the truth, and could only continue to put on a cold face, saying: "What happened to you? Did something happen? Where's Xiao Bao? "
Now it was Feng Fendai who asked him for Xiao Bao! Xuan Tianyan felt a headache coming on, knowing that he could not stay here any longer, the longer he stayed, the more danger Xiao Bao would be in. The most important thing now was to find him. So he opened his mouth and said to Fendai: "Something happened, but don't be anxious, don't worry, three days, at most three days, I will definitely send Xiao Bao back to you." After saying this, he turned and left.
Feng Fendai stood on the spot and looked at his back as he left, her nose suddenly feeling a little sour. She took a deep breath and forced the sourness back. After that, she glared at Dong Ying and warned, "Remember what I said just now. In the future, if the Fifth Prince asks about it again, then just follow what I said. Little Young Master was lost because of him, it has nothing to do with us. " After saying this, she was afraid that Dong Ying's brain would not work properly, so she added: "That child chased after us on his own, if Xuan Tianyan took good care of him, would he be able to run out at such a young age? So, this matter is still his fault. "
Dong Ying quickly agreed, sighing in her heart: That's true! If the Fifth Prince took good care of him, that child would not have been able to run out of the hunting grounds. This is probably fate!
Seeing Dong Ying agree, as if she had thought it through, Fendai returned to her room. Although her anxiety did not show on her face, her heart had already exploded. When that child Xiao Bao was around, she would either hit or scold him, but now that he had landed in Yu Qianyin's hands, she was so worried that she would rather use Feng Xiangrong to exchange for him. Once she thought of Feng Xiangrong, Fendai became anxious again. Right now, she was still in the hunting grounds and did not know when she would be able to return. She really hoped that Feng Xiangrong would return to the capital immediately. She would think of all ways to send her into Yu Qianyin's hands in exchange for her younger brother.
The Fifth Prince did not sleep for the entire night, but he did not know where to start the search. He mobilized close to 20 people from Li Palace, leaving the city overnight to search the place where the incident happened, but there were no results from the search until daybreak.
His actions on this side naturally could not escape the eyes of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng, the two of them only thought that they were adding to the trouble, but after asking around and finding out that something happened to Xiao Bao, Feng Yu Heng had no choice but to send out her own people to search together. But they did not know that Xiao Bao was currently locked up together with that Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo, and Xuantian Mo's face had already been drawn with a brush and ink. Yu Qianyin said, to remove the skin according to this outline, they would do it tonight.
Xuantian Mo had completely broken down, he had already gone crazy, screaming for no reason the entire day and night, his lower body was rotten like a ghost, scaring Xiao Bao into crying loudly.
And at the hunting grounds in the suburbs of the capital, the princes left one by one, even Feng Yu Heng and Feng Fendai had left, Emperor Tianwu was a little unhappy. He slept in a daze for one day and one night, when he woke up again, he heard Zhang Yuan telling him about this matter, then he saw Yao Xian sitting by his bed drinking tea, he could not help but ask: "What is it? Are you here to treat Us again? "
Yao Xian shook his head, "I just woke up." Then he casually handed the remaining bowl of tea he drank to Emperor Tianwu: "Here, to sober up, after drinking it, your head won't hurt anymore."
Emperor Tianwu did not dislike him, taking it and raising his head to drink, after drinking it, he handed the bowl to Zhang Yuan, then said to Yao Xian: "Say, these brats, what's the point of raising them? We finally said that we would go hunting for fun for a few days, but they went back one by one. Didn't We just drink a little more wine and sleep for two more days, why can't We wait? "
Yao Xian advised him: "Why think so much? In the end, there are still more who stayed! Say, the entire Dashun is such a big place, how can there not be a few people in the capital overseeing it? They all came out, you were just having fun, what if something happened? His Highness the Sixth Prince is a bit of a scholar, having a military general overseeing the capital is also a good thing. "
"A military general overseeing the capital? Then it's fine if Old Ninth goes back, why is Old Fifth joining in the fun? " Emperor Tianwu still had an unhappy expression, scolding Xuan Tianyan: "You can't do anything, you don't even know how to join in the fun."
Zhang Yuan quickly explained: "I heard that His Highness the Fifth Prince got into a small argument with the Feng family's Fourth Young Miss, Feng family's Fourth Young Miss got angry and left, His Highness the Fifth Prince could only chase after her!"
Emperor Tianwu was very interested in this topic of gossip, immediately pulling Zhang Yuan and Yao Xian to talk about the matter between his fifth son and the Feng family's Fourth Young Miss, no longer paying attention to the previous topic, whoever wanted to leave could leave! Either way, he just needed to relieve his boredom.
This boredom lasted for seven to eight days, maybe because they knew that Xuan Tianming had returned to the capital, the old Emperor and all the officials had some confidence in their hearts, so no one brought up the matter of returning first, really having fun. And after returning to the capital, Emperor Tianwu did not receive any news about the Eighth Prince being rescued. Xuan Tianming's side deliberately concealed it, afraid that he would be anxious and angry, his body was already weak, if he could not catch his breath, then something major would happen.
And on the Sixth Prince's side, he still steadily handled the court affairs, he already knew about the Eighth Prince's disappearance, but he acted as if nothing had happened. It was just that in secret, he sent out many people to assist Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng's side in the search. At the same time, regarding the news brought by Zong Sui's prince Li Kun, he immediately sent people to the eastern border to inquire about it, in order to obtain more information from Zong Sui.
At Jingtsu Temple, the Empress started to search for Sun Qi ever since she was at the hunting grounds, but she did not see that person again until she returned to the capital. It was as if that person had evaporated into thin air, unable to be found.
The Head of the Imperial Hospital reported the disappearance, but the Empress felt that danger had already arrived, she told Fang Yi: "Go and tell the Sixth Prince, be careful of Duanmu Anguo, I'm afraid that Dashun will be in danger again soon … …"
