As he walked, he smelled the fragrance in the air.

“What a nice smell!”

This little guy was really thin, and it seemed like a slightly stronger wind could blow him away. At this moment, he was talking to himself as he walked.

He did not go through the main gate of Qingxiaoyuan, but instead skillfully climbed in through an inconspicuous dog hole in the corner of Qingxiaoyuan. Judging from his skillfulness, this was definitely not his first time.

Perhaps, he was the one who dug this hole.

Because the weather was cold, Yun Qingyao asked Cai'er to put the brazier directly in their room, and the copper pot was placed directly on the red brazier. The master and servant sat on low stools around the brazier. Although the conditions were a bit simple, the hot pot tasted great. The two of them took a bite of the food and drank a sip of the drink, and they felt very refreshed.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, the branches outside the window swayed, and the window paper made a sound due to the wind, which was a very normal thing.

However, Cai'er, who happened to be sitting opposite the window, looked up and suddenly, the black shadow flashed by outside the window scared Cai'er so much that she almost knocked over the hot pot.

"Ah, miss, there's a ghost outside!"

Cai'er's voice also successfully scared the little guy outside the window. He originally came here following the fragrance and found that the fragrance was coming from this room. Unfortunately, the door was closed, so he planned to climb up to the window to take a look. Cai'er's scream scared the little guy so much that his hand slipped and he sat down on the ground outside the window. He was grimacing in pain and his eyes were full of tears.

This was exactly the scene that Yun Qingyao saw when she chased out.

"Pfft!"

Seeing this funny scene, Yun Qingyao laughed unkindly.

Cai'er, who came out later, also realized that she had made a big mistake. What the hell was this? It was obviously just a little boy from some family.

"Little brother, are you okay? Let me see if you are hurt."

Yun Qingyao hurried forward, helped the little boy up from the ground, and asked in a gentle tone.

The little boy looked at Yun Qingyao, then glared at Cai'er fiercely, then turned his gaze again to the source of the fragrance, the steaming copper pot, and kept swallowing his saliva.

"Little brother, are you hungry? How about I treat you to hot pot?"

In order to make up for the guilt in her heart, Cai'er spoke quickly.

However, the little boy ignored Cai'er. She just stared at Yun Qingyao blankly. It was obvious that he was waiting for Yun Qingyao to speak.

Of course Yun Qingyao would not refuse, and just like that, the hotpot for two people instantly became for three people. In order to please this little guy, Cai'er specially prepared a lot of green leafy vegetables for him.

You know, green leafy vegetables are much more expensive than meat at this time.

The little guy was eating happily.

Yun Qingyao didn't know that at this moment, the main courtyard of Prince Yi's Mansion had already been in chaos.

"What? You said the Second Young Master is missing!"

The butler roared, scaring the guards beside him so much that they began to tremble all over.

"Housekeeper, the second young master said he wanted to rest, so he kicked me out. I had no choice but to go to the toilet because I was in a hurry. When I came back here, I found that the light in the room was off. I thought the second young master had gone to bed, so I thought about going in to check later. However, after two quarters of an hour, I found that there was no one in the room when I went in again. The second young master...he...he was gone."

The guard was truly regretful at this moment.

If I had known this would happen, I should not have gone to the toilet even if I had pooped in my pants. You know, the Second Young Master is the person the Crown Prince cares about the most. If anything happens to the Second Young Master, even if I am the reincarnation of a nine-tailed fox, I probably won't live past tomorrow, and the Crown Prince will definitely skin me alive.

The guard thought with a sad face.

"Why don't you go and look for him quickly? What are you doing standing here? If you can't find the Second Young Master tonight, all of you will have to bear the wrath of the Crown Prince!"

"Yes, butler, I will go find it right away!"

All the servants in the palace answered in unison and scattered in all directions. They wanted to turn all the rat holes inside out to search.

"Someone, inform the prince immediately and tell him that the second young master is missing."

When the butler said this, he seemed to have lost the last bit of energy and became listless.

He knew what the Second Young Master represented to the Crown Prince.

If something happens to the Second Young Master because of this, then things will really change in their Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Others only knew that the prince had to support 100,000 Shenyu soldiers, but he was the steward of Prince Yi's Mansion and the prince's confidant. He certainly knew that another reason why Prince Yi's Mansion was unable to make ends meet was the Second Young Master.

Their previous princess died of heavy bleeding when giving birth to the second young master, and the second young master was left with a chronic illness as a result. The second young master has never liked to eat since he was young. He has had countless wet nurses, but the results were always the same. He would only eat a little when he was extremely hungry, and even then, he would vomit out some of the poor food after eating.

The prince has been away fighting for many years, and the time he spends in the palace is really very limited. All the big and small matters in the palace have always been handled by the crown prince. In order to support the second son, the crown prince really put a lot of thought into it. He takes him with him wherever he goes. It would be more accurate to say that the crown prince is raising a son rather than a younger brother.

The prince really loves his younger brother to the core.

Oh oh oh!

The butler really wanted to cry. If nothing unexpected happened, his job as a butler would probably be over.

The housekeeper secretly wiped away a handful of bitter tears.

It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but who the hell said that? It is a complete lie!

The search was in full swing at the palace, but at the villa, Bai Qianyu lost his composure the moment he got the news.
