Murong Ye looked at Bai Ying and said, "Tomorrow there will be a caravan going to Yunsheng Country. You go back with them. Don't reveal anything."

"Yes."

"Go down."

After Bai Ying left, Murong Ye instructed Ning Hai, "Send someone to keep a close eye on Mo Chenyuan."

"Yes." Ning Hai bowed and walked out.

At the innermost part of the third floor of the inn, Nangong Yuan was listening to the report from the secret guard.

"Prince, before you came, we had already searched every place in the capital, but there was no trace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Nangong Yuan looked at the steaming teacup in front of him with a sinister look, tapping the table with his hands.

He opened his thin lips and said, "Intensify the search. Our people saw him in the capital a month ago."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the secret guard prepared to leave.

Nangong Yuan's voice sounded again, "Find Nangong Li and deal with him directly."

"Yes." The secret guard said and left through the window.

At the same time, on the second floor of the inn, the eldest prince of the Yuezhi Kingdom was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously. When there was a knock on the door, the anxious man immediately went to open the door.

"How is it?" Yue Yan asked anxiously.

The person knocking on the door had a black cloth covering his face and was dressed in black. He squatted down and performed the etiquette of the Yuezhi Kingdom and said, "Prince, we have not found the princess yet."

Yue Yan held his forehead with a headache, "Go look for her again. Envoy Yang said my sister is still in the capital, so she must be there."

"Yes."

As the night deepened, there were few people on the streets except for the guards patrolling. Although the streets were so quiet, there were actually undercurrents as groups of people shuttled through the darkness.

The next day.

After breakfast, Mo Chenyuan went to the study, and Ling Su reported to him.

"Your Highness, there were several groups of people moving around at night last night. I sent some people to follow them. One group was from the Yuezhi Kingdom, and they were probably looking for their princess. Another group was from the Tian'an Kingdom, and they seemed to be looking for someone as well."

Mo Chenyuan sat lazily on the chair, turning the Buddhist beads in his hand. After hearing Ling Su's report, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "The capital hasn't been so lively for a long time."

Ling Su said from the side: "Your Majesty, our people have been keeping an eye on the inn. Bai Ying should have seen Murong Ye."

"Ah."

"Then what do we do next?"

Mo Chenyuan said calmly: "Recently, many caravans are going to Yunsheng Country to buy silk. I believe there should be someone I want to find there."

Ling Su immediately understood, "I'll arrange it right away."

After Ling Su left, a carrier pigeon suddenly landed on the window frame. Mo Chenyuan gently hooked his finger, and the carrier pigeon obediently flapped its wings and landed on Mo Chenyuan's palm.

Mo Chenyuan untied the note tied to the pigeon's leg and unfolded it to read:

[Your Majesty, Yi Liu and I have been tracking down the man all the way to the south, but unfortunately he was killed and the clues are lost. However, we have found the half jade pendant that appeared on the battlefield a year ago. After some inquiries, we found that the half jade pendant came from the Xu family in Ancheng. Yi Liu and I are heading to Ancheng.]

After reading it, Mo Chenyuan threw the note on the table, rubbed it with a headache, and the memories of a year ago flashed in his mind again.

Mo Chenyuan already had a vague memory of what the half jade pendant looked like. He only vaguely remembered that there was a very complicated pattern on it. It was later destroyed, perhaps because of poisoning. He had forgotten some details of the battlefield.

But the tragic conditions of those soldiers are still vivid in my mind.

Mo Chenyuan meditated for a while and then opened his eyes. The matter from a year ago finally had some conclusion. It seemed that he had to go to Ancheng.

When Murong Ye came out of the room, he met Nangong Yuan who just came out from the opposite side. The two smiled at each other as a greeting.

The servants in the inn were busy running around. Murong Ye stretched himself and said happily, "It looks like it will be a good day today."

Ning Hai nodded and said, "Your Highness, the Third Prince of Anyun is already waiting outside the inn. He said he would take us to the capital today to see what it looks like."

"Humph, I don't even want to go shopping in the capital of Anyun."

"Then my subordinates went and rejected him."

Murong Ye shook his head. “No need. Since it’s the Third Prince’s invitation, I’d rather not refuse him.” After saying that, he walked downstairs.

Nangong Yuan was talking to Mo Jingheng, and Murong Ye stepped forward and asked, "I didn't expect that the prince of Tian'an Kingdom and the third prince are so familiar with each other?"

Mo Jingheng smiled and said, "Before His Highness arrived, I chatted with Brother Yuan for a while. Speaking of familiarity, it seems that His Highness is more familiar with Tian'an Kingdom."

Murong Ye glanced at Nangong Yuan, his eyes were not as friendly as before, and said: "This prince is only familiar with the prince of Tianan Kingdom."

Nangong Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for still thinking about me."

"Hmph, Nangong Yuan, you said that Nangong Li was attacked by someone, but you were with him that day, so why were you safe and sound?"

Nangong Yuan's expression changed after hearing this, "I checked afterwards, that person's goal was to leave my brother, so I didn't get into trouble."

Murong Ye laughed, and then his eyes became sharp, "Really? Didn't you have any hand in Nangong Li's accident?"

Nangong Yuan raised his eyes to look at Murong Ye, his tone also became bad, "What do you mean, do you suspect that I did something to Nangong Li?"

"Is not it?"

"That's nonsense. I know you have a good relationship with him, but you can't accuse him for no reason. He is my brother, how could I harm him?"

Mo Jingheng saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he immediately tried to smooth things over, "Please don't hurt the harmony, Your Highness didn't mean that."

"This is what I mean." Murong Ye said coldly.

"You..." Nangong Yuan was so angry that he looked at Mo Jingheng and said, "I'm afraid I can't be with you today." Then he threw away his sleeves and left the door of the inn.

Mo Jingheng's face was full of black lines. This Murong Ye was really unforgiving with his words and didn't even give him face.

Murong Ye watched Nangong Yuan walk away, then looked at Mo Jingheng and said, "This prince is not in the mood today, so I will take my leave first."

Then he returned to the inn.

Only Yue Yan from Yuezhi and the prince of Loulan were left. Yue Yan looked at Mo Jingheng awkwardly as these two big shots made such a fuss at the door.

It also attracted a lot of attention. Yue Yan saluted and said: "Third Prince, today we..."

Mo Jingheng nodded slightly and said, "Prince Yueyan and Prince Mo have not visited the capital of our Anyun Kingdom yet, right? I will take you there today."

As he said this, he made a gesture of invitation.

The two of them and the princes of other countries behind them had no choice but to nod and follow them to visit the capital.

Mo Jingheng had a sullen face all the way. Thinking of Murong Ye's arrogant look, he really wanted to slap him to death.

Yue Yan glanced at Mo Jingheng, thinking of his sister, and said, "I wonder if the Third Prince has seen my sister, Yue Ying, during the last audience with the envoy."

Mo Jingheng calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "Princess Yueying's dancing is truly unique." He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why didn't Princess Yueying come this time?"

Yue Yan was about to speak when there was a scream in the front. A few people looked in the direction of the gaze and saw that many people had gathered in front.

Mo Jingheng looked at the guards behind him and said, "Go and take a look."

"Yes."

Soon after, the guard came back and said anxiously, "Third Prince, the person in front is wearing the clothes of the Yuezhi Kingdom. She is a woman."

After hearing this, Yue Yan immediately thought of his sister and ran over in a hurry. Sure enough, it was his sister.
