Swap, the involutionary regent palace fight also forced me to rebel

"What happened to Yunyan?" Nan Yingzhi frowned slightly, put away the idea of ​​teasing Taxue, and slowly straightened up, "Tell me, what happened to her?"

Ling Yu spoke quickly due to her urgency: "Just now, news came from the Seventh Princess's Mansion that the Seventh Princess is missing!"

Nan Yingzhi looked puzzled: "She was staying in the princess's mansion, how could she disappear?"

Ling Yu explained: "This afternoon, the princess suddenly felt like going out for a walk, so she took her maid with her to the outskirts of the capital. The princess had originally told the housekeeper to come back in the evening, but until now, she still hasn't come back!"

Feeling strange, Nan Yingzhi repeated what Lingyu had just said: "You haven't come back yet?"

"Yes," Ling Yu took a breath and continued, "The housekeeper said that the Seventh Princess has never been far away, let alone spent the night outside. This time she is still missing late at night, which is very strange!"

It is really strange that someone who has never left the capital does not return home in the middle of the night.

Realizing that this matter was of great importance, Nan Yingzhi became serious and asked, "Butler, have you tried to contact the princess?"

"Yes," Ling Yu nodded, "The housekeeper sent people to look for the princess where she often stayed, but the princess was not there, and the people there also said that they had never seen the princess."

"Yun Yan is missing," Nan Yingzhi stroked his chin and asked Ling Yu, "Is this news from the spy? Or...?"

Ling Yu slapped his forehead and said, "Oops!" "I forgot to say that this is not information from the spy. It's because the butler really can't contact the princess. Now it's close to curfew, and there's nothing to do outside. I have nowhere to go, so I ask you for help."

Fearing that she might have missed some news again, Ling Yu added, "The butler is in the living room right now, waiting for your order."

Knowing that the housekeeper had arrived at the palace, Nan Yingzhi ordered Lingyu: "Bring me a coat. I need to meet a guest and ask the housekeeper in person."

living room.

Seeing Nan Yingzhi from afar, the housekeeper quickly got down from his chair and bowed to her: "Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night."

"Get up." Knowing that the golden period for searching after a person goes missing is within 24 hours, there is no time to waste. Nan Yingzhi did not care about the formalities. She sat down on the main seat. "How could a healthy person disappear for no reason? When did you realize something was wrong?"

"Today, after lunch, the princess said she wanted to go out for a walk and would be back in the evening. I thought nothing would happen if she walked around the capital, so I waited for her to return at home."

"I know this," Nan Yingzhi, who had already learned the whole story from Lingyu, interrupted the housekeeper and said, "Let's get to the point. When did you find out something was wrong?"

"When it was completely dark, there was still no sign of the princess. I felt something was wrong and sent people to look for her, but there was no news. Even her personal maid had no news."

There are many people in the capital city. If two women go out, it will be like water entering the sea and they will be drowned soon.

The more she listened to the housekeeper, the more dangerous Yun Yan's situation seemed to be. Nan Yingzhi stared at the housekeeper's eyes and asked, "From that moment on, did you start sending people to look for her?"

"Yes, but to no avail," the butler's voice choked with tears, "I have searched everywhere I could, but there is still no news. I suspect that the princess was abducted by human traffickers!"

The three words "human trafficker" made Nan Yingzhi's eyebrows jump.

Yun Yan has outstanding looks, is quiet and gentle, like a lady from a noble family. If she were really abducted, she could probably be sold for a very good price.

However, precisely because her appearance is so special and worth a fortune, she will definitely not be sold easily.

Thinking of this, Nan Yingzhi felt a little relieved.

But you never know, some wealthy man might suddenly be willing to spend a fortune to buy a beauty into his house.

The most urgent task is to find Yun Yan as soon as possible.

"Your Highness," the butler said excitedly, "The princess always keeps in touch with the palace. Now she has disappeared for no reason. She must have been kidnapped by thieves! Please think of a way to rescue the princess!"

Although she was as anxious as the housekeeper, Nan Yingzhi knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she comforted the housekeeper first: "This matter has not been concluded yet, and Yun Yan may not have been kidnapped or her life is in danger. You should calm down first."

The butler lowered his head even lower and stopped talking.

Feeling that the housekeeper was not as anxious as before, Nan Yingzhi turned around and ordered Lingyu: "Have someone search it."

Lingyu was about to go out when Lingfeng stopped her again.

Wanting to clarify "who to send out", Ling Feng whispered to Nan Yingzhi to confirm: "Are you sending the soldiers from the palace?"

Knowing that Lingfeng would not repeat his orders for no reason, Nan Yingzhi glanced at the housekeeper and lowered her voice: "Is there anything wrong?"

Ling Feng coughed twice and reminded her: "There is a rule in the court that private soldiers are not allowed to be raised in the prince's mansion."

Nan Yingzhi broke out in a cold sweat when she realized that she had accidentally violated a taboo. Seeing the housekeeper's worried look, she felt that it was a human life after all and she couldn't just leave it alone.

Yun Ji's thoughts about the underworld forces came to mind, and Nan Yingzhi immediately had an idea in his mind.

She signaled Lingyu to take the butler to an empty hall in the palace to rest. She went to the study, wrote a letter with Yun Yan's general situation, and then stamped it with Yun Ji's private seal.

Following the instructions Yun Ji wrote on the note, Nan Yingzhi took a deep breath and began to fiddle with the densely packed books on the bookshelf.

Finally, the shape was changed to what Yun Ji said. Nan Yingzhi was already sweating from exhaustion. She bent down and really found a switch in a hidden place.

I pressed the switch handle hard, and there was a sudden rumbling sound between the bookshelf and the wall.

Looking over the direction of the sound, a secret passage came into view.

Nan Yingzhi felt that the process of delivering the message was tense and exciting, and it greatly stimulated the secretion of adrenaline. He hid the letter in his sleeve, held the lamp in his hand, and walked towards the secret passage.

There was no air circulation inside, and the lights were consuming oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide, so Nan Yingzhi had some difficulty breathing.
