Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

In Xiangping City, following Nan Chufeng's order, the imperial guards in the palace and the yamen runners in the city's government office all took action and began to search the city on a large scale.

At the same time, imperial edicts to capture the traitor Nan Chuye quickly covered every street and alley in Xiangping City.

On the other hand, the Lou family also dispatched a large number of troops to strengthen patrols within the capital and join the search and arrest operations.

Nan Chufeng's uncle, General Lou, personally led a team of people to the Night King's Mansion to search again.

Xuan Moyin's internal strength was extremely profound. When these people stepped into the palace, he keenly noticed the chaotic footsteps.

"Someone is coming, and there are many of them." Xuan Moyin said softly to the people in the room, "They must be coming for us."

"What should we do then?" Nan Xiyue stared at her third brother who was still in a coma and asked anxiously.

"They are quite smart. They know to return to the palace and search again." Su Luoxue analyzed calmly.

"Let's mess up the house first." She turned and instructed Xiao Luobai and Xuan Moyin.

The two of them understood what he meant and immediately started to overturn the cabinets, tables, chairs and other items that had been carefully arranged the day before.

"Now, I will take you to my space, and we will come out after these people leave." Su Luoxue said.

Several people nodded at the same time. In an instant, including the unconscious Nan Chuye, several people entered the space together. Su Luoxue threw the quilt on the bed to the ground and also entered the space.

Not long after they entered, they heard the sound of the door outside being kicked open.

Then someone said, "Look carefully. I heard that if we find the Third Prince, we will kill him without mercy. Whoever he is will be promoted to the first rank and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."

"Yes, yes, brothers, be careful. Don't miss any place where people can be hidden. When the second prince ascends the throne, he will be the emperor and serve His Majesty. We must be careful."

Then there were the sounds of rummaging through drawers and smashing things. "There's nothing here, let's go," someone said, and soon the room became quiet.

"I'll go out and take a look first." Xuan Moyin said to Su Luoxue.

"I'm with you," she said.

As they were talking, two people appeared in the room. If the soldiers looked back at this moment, they would definitely be shocked. There was clearly no one in the room just now, so how could two people suddenly appear?

The two listened in the house for a while, until there was no sound in the yard. Then they quietly came out of the house, left the yard, and hid in a secluded place. Su Luoxue saw a middle-aged man in a military officer's uniform standing there with his hands behind his back, exuding a majestic aura.

"This is Nan Chufeng's uncle, the eldest brother of the current Queen Lou from her mother's family." Xuan Moyin said to her in a low voice.

"Is Nan Chufeng's maternal family very powerful?" Su Luoxue didn't know the story, so she asked.

Xuan Moyin could only briefly tell her about the status and power of the Lou family in Nanxiang Kingdom.

"No wonder Nan Chufeng is so confident and dares to imprison and torture Nan Chuye and others." Su Luoxue said.

Looking at General Lou over there, the people who were sent out to search various courtyards have returned one after another.

"Report to the general, the east courtyard has been searched and no one is found!"

"Report to the general, the west courtyard has been searched and no one is found!"

"Report to the General, the South Courtyard has been searched, no one is found!"

……

Teams of soldiers came back with reports, and finally, the entire Ye Palace was searched thoroughly, but no trace of Nan Chuye was found.

Could it be that he had made a wrong judgment? He thought, did Nan Chuye and the others not come back here at all?

"Leave a team of people outside the palace to keep a close eye on the movements inside. Report immediately if anything goes wrong. Everyone else, follow me!" said General Lou.

After saying this, he looked around the Night Palace unwillingly again, then strode out of the palace with his men.

After Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue saw that everyone had left, they quickly returned to the house. Su Luoxue picked up the quilt, dusted it off, and spread it back on the bed. Meanwhile, Xuan Moyin had already put away the tables, chairs, and benches.

She released the three people from the space again and put Nan Chuye on the bed.

"This place has just been searched. They won't come again. You stay here and we will go out to find out the situation outside and bring you some food." Su Luoxue said to Xiao Luobai and Nan Xiyue.

"Then be careful!" Xiao Luobai said.

"Okay." Su Luoxue replied.

After she and Xuan Moyin disguised themselves, they immediately turned into an ordinary-looking middle-aged couple. Nan Xiyue looked at their changes in amazement. If she didn't know who they were, she would not have recognized them if she met them outside.

After the two were ready, they left the yard. Xuan Moyin took Su Luoxue and flew out of the high walls of the Night Palace and landed in a secluded alley.

Then, the two of them walked slowly out of the alley like an ordinary couple going out to the street. When they passed the gate of the palace, they saw some soldiers in civilian clothes strolling near the gate, but their eyes were always paying attention to the movements towards the gate. When the two of them walked past them, they gave these people a cold look.

The two walked along the main road in the city towards the city gate. Along the way, they saw soldiers searching every house, shop, and inn. There were royal edicts posted at several important intersections. It was issued by Nan Chufeng in the tone of a future king, meaning that Nan Chuye was colluding with foreign enemies and plotting against the throne. This traitor was wanted nationwide, and anyone who found or provided clues would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, regardless of whether he was dead or alive.

Occasionally common people gathered around to watch, but no one spoke. They just walked away after watching. The fight for the throne has always been cruel. As common people, as long as they can be kept safe, well fed and warmly clothed, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. Besides, royal affairs are not something that common people like them can comment on casually.

As for the wealthy families of officials, the doors of their mansions were all kept tightly closed. No one came out except to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in the search. Even the servants in the mansions were strictly ordered by their masters to leave.

Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue were walking on the street, looking at the palace soldiers searching everywhere and the teams of soldiers patrolling the city. They found a bun shop and bought two baskets of buns.

When the boss saw that they bought so many, he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. The situation in Beijing changed suddenly today and fewer people went out. As a result, he had not sold many of the buns he made early in the morning. The boss was naturally happy that Su Luoxue and her friends bought two baskets at once, otherwise all the buns would have been wasted.

When Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue returned to the palace, Nan Chuye had just woken up.
