After Leng Yifei came out of the palace, he did not ride the horse directly, but led the horse and walked slowly forward.

He wanted to see on the street what the people in Prince Yan's Mansion were busy with.

"Leng Yifei..."

A voice sounded behind him, and before he turned around to check, his brows tightened instantly.

He felt somewhat familiar with this voice, but he couldn't remember where it was familiar.

This person dared to call him by his name, which made him very unhappy.

Just as he was about to turn around, a long sword was pointed at his throat. Just as he was about to fight back, the man on the other side snorted.

"do not move……"

Only then did he stop preparing to resist and looked up at the person in front of him.

She was wearing a black veil hat, and he couldn't see her face at all.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

She didn't respond to him, but asked directly,

"Is Leng Yiyan's daughter in your hands?"

Hearing this, Leng Yifei's heart sank, and then he denied it.

"How could his child be in my hands? I am the child's uncle. What's more, I have sent people to help him find it."

"Humph! You can fool others but you can't fool me. In the whole Chang'an City, you are the only one who doesn't want the best for him..."

"who are you?"

Leng Yifei felt more and more that the woman in front of him wearing a veil hat looked familiar.

But she seemed to be deliberately lowering her voice when speaking to him, so that he couldn't tell who she was.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I just want to remind you not to touch Leng Yiyan's child, or you will regret it."

After leaving these words, she retracted the sword in her hand and quickly turned away.

Looking at her back, Leng Yifei's eyes showed a deep look, and then as if he thought of something, he quickly took two steps forward.

But where is the woman among the crowd hurrying by?

"Xiao Wan, is that you?"

As he muttered the name, he raised his hands and hit himself hard on the head twice.

He hated himself for not asking clearly who she was.

He clearly had the opportunity to control her, but he just stood there like a fool and didn't take any action.

But he quickly shook his head to deny his thoughts.

She can't be Mo Xiaowan.

Mo Xiaowan and Luo Nianxi are irreconcilable, how could she possibly find the child for her?

Who could this woman be?

Her voice sounded familiar to him, and her back gave him a sense of déjà vu.

He looked blankly at the people coming and going on the street, took a deep breath, turned around to get his horse, then jumped on the horse and rode away.

Prince Yan's Mansion

Everyone searched the streets for a day and a night, but there was no news at all.

Having not slept all night and having been waiting for news for the whole day, Luo Nianxi's face turned pale.

Bai Lan just came back and said that the entire Chang'an city, except for a few court officials and the homes of two princes, has been turned upside down, but there is no news of Jinyu.

"My husband, we have to look for the remaining places, especially Prince Duan's Mansion. Once the emperor issues the imperial decree, he will be the most annoyed. If he gets desperate, he will do anything."

Leng Yiyan looked at her in embarrassment.

"I also suspected him, but without the emperor's order, we can't search these officials' homes at will, especially with two princes around. We can't go there rashly."

Hearing him say this, Luo Nianxi fell into deep thought.

After a while, she looked at him as if she had thought of something.

"You take people to Prince Duan's Mansion first. I will go to the palace to ask for permission now."

Leng Yiyan looked at her worriedly.

"Can this imperial decree be obtained?"

"Why not? Jinyu is the emperor's granddaughter. His granddaughter is missing, so what's wrong with him ordering a search?"

"But...searching the residences of the princes and ministers is no small matter. It will cause the people of Chang'an to talk about it. What if the emperor doesn't issue this decree?"

"I'll find a way."

In order to find Jinyu, she would try even if she had to ask the emperor for help.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Leng Yiyan nodded immediately.

"Okay, then let's split up. You go to the palace, and I'll take people to Prince Duan's mansion."

After making up their minds, they started to act separately.

Luo Nianxi went to the palace to ask for permission, Leng Yiyan prepared manpower, and both sides took action without wasting time.

After Luo Nianxi entered the palace, she went straight to the Yangxin Palace.

Because she and Lin Ming had said that in order to ensure that the emperor's illness could be properly treated, the emperor should not be allowed to go to the concubines' bedrooms for a short period of time. The emperor actually listened to Lin Ming and stayed in the Yangxin Palace.

She came to the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After the young eunuch went in to report, Lin Ming walked out quickly.

"Princess Yan, why are you here?"

"What about the emperor?"

"Just went to bed."

asleep?

She stood there, clapping her hands anxiously. Lin Ming asked quietly:

'Is there something urgent?'

Luo Nianxi explained her purpose to Lin Ming.

Lin Ming looked at her with some embarrassment.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's really... the emperor said that you thought he used his medical treatment as a threat to get the position of crown prince from Prince Yan, and he has no gratitude towards you, so... if you wake him up now, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will make him unhappy, how about you wait a little longer?"

What Lin Ming said makes sense. Although Leng Yiyan is the most suitable person for the position of crown prince, the emperor had previously issued an imperial decree to enthrone Leng Yifei. Now he has changed the previous imperial decree and re-enthrone Leng Yiyan. This not only makes Leng Yifei embarrassed, but also makes the emperor seem to be going back on his word and not keeping his word.

But it was true that Luo Nianxi cured his illness, so he had to do what he promised her even if he was reluctant.

Luo Nianxi was waiting anxiously over there, while Leng Yiyan had already led his men to surround Prince Duan's mansion.

Although the emperor's edict has not arrived yet, my wife has already gone to ask for it, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will arrive soon.

When he stood in the main courtyard of Prince Duan's Mansion with several of his guards and many officers and soldiers, the servants of Prince Duan's Mansion ran out one after another to confront them.

The leading housekeeper Deng swung the stick in his hand and pointed at Leng Yiyan and others.

"How dare you break into Prince Duan's mansion privately. You are so lawless."

Leng Yiyan stared at him with disdain.

"Let Leng Yifei come out."

"Prince Duan is busy. If you dare to break in today, you will have to step over our dead bodies!"

"We didn't intend to force our way in, so Leng Yifei came out to answer."

"I told you, our prince is not free..."

"you……"

"do not move……"

Ling Yun and Su Yi took two steps forward angrily, but Leng Yiyan raised his hand to stop them.

At this time, Leng Yifei walked out from the backyard and asked loudly as he walked,

"It's almost dark, why are there still people visiting my house?"

Looking at Leng Yifei's arrogant look, Leng Yiyan's eyes were suddenly filled with disgust.

"Leng Yifei, we have searched every street and alley in Chang'an City. Now we need to search your mansion and ask your people to withdraw."

Leng Yifei glanced at his people, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand.

"Did you bring the imperial edict for the search?"

Leng Yiyan frowned and looked at him.

"We are already on the way. To avoid wasting time, let's search first..."

"That won't do. A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. We in Pingyang have never heard of anyone coming to search a house without an imperial edict, and this is the home of a prince like me, Prince Yan... Oh, no, it should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You should wait until the imperial edict arrives before searching!"

After that, he instructed Butler Deng behind him:

"Hurry up and show your seat to the future Crown Prince. It's not easy for him to come to our house as a guest, so we can't neglect him."

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and swaggered towards the main hall. He looked so smug that Leng Yiyan really wanted to beat him up.
