I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Li Rui didn't dare to waste time and didn't rest at all. At most, he would find a place to take a nap when he was extremely tired.

The subordinates of the Shadow Pavilion behind him were in a similar situation, but everyone knew that their master was in a bad mood, so no one dared to say a word.

It was still a day’s journey to the town where An Muxi disappeared.

"Master, we just received news from the Southern Xinjiang Shadow Pavilion branch. They found out that a ship left the dock at night when Miss An disappeared. It should have gone to Tianqi Country."

Li Rui gritted his teeth and said, "Feng Qingyu, that bastard!"

He immediately thought of who had kidnapped An Muxi. Last time, Feng Qingyu wanted to take An Muxi away, but he stopped her. He didn't expect that he was still so determined.

His heart slowly sank. He wondered how Xi'er was doing after so many days. Would Feng Qingyu...

He was a little panicked. What if Xi'er was flirted with by Feng Qingyu? What should he do? Xi'er was the victim, she was innocent, and it was Feng Qingyu who should be damned!

Yes, he would not let Xier go no matter what. If that really happened, he would lead his troops to destroy Tianqi Kingdom and avenge Xier!

"Ask the people from the Apocalypse Shadow Pavilion to keep an eye on Feng Qingyu and check if there is anything unusual about his residence. Report immediately if there is any news!"

"Yes!"

The next day, Feng Qingyu came back from the morning court and his subordinates reported something to him.

"Your Highness, there seem to be suspicious people moving around the villa. It seems they are monitoring us."

Feng Qingyu was stunned. Who found this place so quickly? His spies said that Li Rui had recently gone to attack Xijiang, so it was impossible for him to find this place so quickly.

Besides, he has already separated from An Muxi, so there is no need to turn against the Tianqi Kingdom for her, right?

Could it be the Dark Dragon? This is possible. The Dark Shadow Pavilion is spread all over Tiansheng. Xi'er seems to be familiar with the Dark Dragon. Her disappearance will definitely alert the Dark Shadow Pavilion.

No, we have to move.

"Go prepare the carriage, and arrange for ten secret guards to leave with us."

Then he wrote letters to several trusted ministers, explaining some things.

After finishing all these, I went to An Muxi's residence.

I wanted to come over here today to apologize to her and comfort her. But it seems I can only take her away first.

As soon as he entered her room, he asked with concern, "Can you have breakfast today?"

An Muxi ignored her and just sat quietly in front of the dressing table.

Xiaoli replied: "The young lady said she had no appetite and only drank half a bowl of millet porridge."

Feng Qingyu was a little helpless: "Xiao Li, help Miss An pack her things. We are leaving today, so you should follow her and serve her."

"Yes." Xiaoli hurriedly helped to pack up the things. In fact, there were not many things, just some clothes and jewelry.

An Muxi's expression finally changed a little when she heard this. The prince wanted to take her away from here?

Why did he leave suddenly? Did the Dark Dragon come looking for him?

When the prince saw the anti-poison beads and the jade pendant from yesterday on the dressing table, his eyes flashed and he walked over to take the anti-poison beads away.

He didn't touch the pendant. Maybe it was given to him by An Muxi's family and it was of no use to him.

An Muxi had known for a long time that she would definitely not be able to keep the anti-poison bead, so she didn't care. Now she just wanted to know where Feng Qingyu was going to take her?

"Where are you taking me?"

"I'll send you to stay with my master for a few days."

"It's great here. I'm used to living here and don't want to leave." An Muxi became even more certain that someone must have found this place, which was why Feng Qingyu wanted to move her.

"Be good. I'm only going to the mountains for a few days. When you come back, you'll still live here, okay? Be obedient."

An Muxi was speechless. How could she resist? Why was he pretending to discuss something with her?

Soon the things were packed up, and the prince took An Muxi out through the side door, got on the carriage and left the villa.

The people from the Shadow Pavilion watched for two days and found that the prince had not come out since he went in two days ago, and they realized that something was wrong.

At this time, Li Rui had already met Doctor Gao and Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue.

Several people were too ashamed to speak, except for Doctor Gao who was thicker-skinned.

"Your Majesty, it was all my fault that Miss An was implicated and was captured. I really don't know how to express my apology. If you are angry, just punish me."

Li Rui is now full of anger, but he has not lost his mind. If Feng Qingyu had planned it all out, ordinary people would have no chance of being spared.

Doctor Gao is actually innocent too.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue, come with me to Tianqi to rescue people. Doctor Gao, stay here and wait for news, in case someone is injured and needs your treatment."

Li Rui, along with Qiu Shuang, Qiu Yue and a few elite members of the Shadow Pavilion, took a ferry to the Apocalypse Kingdom overnight.

This is the border port. Several people dressed up as businessmen, and with the help of people from the Apocalypse Shadow Pavilion, they entered the city smoothly.

But this is not the capital of Tianqi. Feng Qingyu's villa is in the suburbs of the capital. The group rushed for another two hours before arriving near Feng Qingyu's villa.

"Master, our people have been watching here for several days. Prince Feng went in three days ago and never came out. Later we found that many of the guards inside had withdrawn. They should have moved out of the side door."

This Feng Qingyu is really a cunning fox, Li Rui cursed in his heart. He was still one step too late.

But he couldn't be sure whether Xi'er had been here before, and now she had lost her trace. He could only tell everyone to find a hotel nearby to stay.

"Tonight, An Yi and An Er and I will go in and explore to see if we can find any clues. The others will stay in the hotel and wait for news."

Li Rui made a quick decision. No matter what, it would be good to find some clues.

At the hour of Hai, when the night was deep and everything was quiet, three dark shadows flew into the courtyard.

The yard was very large, and the three of them went to look for it separately. Fortunately, there were not many guards in the yard now, and the secret guards had also withdrawn. There were also some ordinary maids and servants who had already rested.

Li Rui arrived at the backyard and saw a small courtyard with a sign on it. This courtyard was called Nian Xi Pavilion.

Li Rui gnashed his teeth in hatred. It was obvious that Feng Qingyu, that bastard, had planned this in advance, otherwise how could he have arranged the yard in advance.

Li Rui flew over and grabbed the wooden sign and pulled it down, then broke it in half with his bare hands and threw it directly into the flowers next to him.

He quickly entered the yard, looked around to see if there was anything unusual, and then quietly entered the attic.

I checked and found no one lived on the first floor, so I went up to the second floor. There seemed to be slight breathing in only one room.

He opened the door, walked lightly, and took a look inside. It was the room of the two maids.

Then he stepped out again and continued checking room by room.

Finally, I found something different in a bedroom. It was luxuriously furnished and it was obvious that this was where the master lived.

He turned over the bedding on the big bed and found nothing there, then went to look at the dressing table.

Suddenly he found a jade pendant on the dressing table, and Li Rui picked up the pendant with trembling hands.

He recognized this; it was the pendant that Xier always carried with her, which meant that this was indeed where Xier had lived.

He had heard Xier talk about the special features of this pendant. He walked to the bed and held up the pendant towards the moonlight, and sure enough, he saw the boy inside.

This is it for sure. How come the pendant that Xier never takes off is placed here?

She was so smart that she guessed that I was coming to find her, so she left this clue on purpose?

Li Rui was excited and regretful, but where could he find her now?

Yes, there must be clues if we investigate Feng Qingyu. I just don't believe he can take Xi'er to another country!
