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

Feeling that it was not advisable to stay here for long, she followed Yun Ji's instructions and quickly rotated the dial on the wall in a clockwise direction.

The dial made a "ding-dong" sound, and a box popped out from the wall below it.

After taking a closer look, Nan Yingzhi discovered that the bottom of the box was green. She reached out and pushed the box back, then turned the turntable three more times.

She was so anxious that she almost forgot that there were four colors of boxes here: green, blue, purple and black, with the urgency increasing from green to black.

After one turn, the green box appears, which means "least urgent, processed within two weeks". After two turns, the blue box appears, which means "processed in one week". The next box appears, which means "results within three days". To see the black box, you need to turn four times.

There was no time to lose in finding the missing Yun Yan, so Nan Yingzhi of course had to put the letter into a black envelope indicating urgency.

In this way, Ruyu Pavilion will "deal with it immediately and get the result within two hours at the latest."

Although it was not nice to wake people up in the middle of the night to work, the matter was urgent and Nan Yingzhi could not mobilize the palace soldiers, so he had to trouble the flexible forces of the underworld.

After delivering the envelope and breathing in the fresh air, Nan Yingzhi realized belatedly that she had discovered a blind spot.

Why would Yun Ji, who is known for his "loyalty", keep more private soldiers than allowed in the palace?

If it was for their own protection, it seemed like there were too many people.

Could it be that Yun Ji had long harbored rebellious intentions, and that was why he kept so many private soldiers in his mansion?

Stroking his chin, Nan Yingzhi quickly denied the idea.

This shouldn’t be the case. Isn’t Yun Ji the idiot who, when faced with poisoned wine, still thinks that the emperor must have his own reasons for sentencing him to death?

But before that, Yun Ji asked her, "You are not the Nan Yingzhi from before, who are you?" and so on.

This doesn't seem like a question that an ancient person would ask, unless it was an ancient person with an extraordinary temperament like the Imperial Master.

The fact that Yun Ji asked this question, does it mean that he has also experienced some strange things?

But according to Nan Yingzhi's current observation of Yun Ji, Yun Ji has a thorough understanding of his own forces, and his every word and action is perfectly in line with the model of ancient people, and he does not seem like a so-called time traveler.

But it is undeniable that this Yun Ji is indeed different from the Yun Ji in the book.

Could it be that Yun Ji also has some secrets worth discovering? ...

Realizing that now was not the time to think about this, Nan Yingzhi quickly stopped her divergent thoughts, focused her mind, and called Lingfeng in.

Guarding the palace gate, Lingfeng is always available when called.

He gently pushed open the door and asked Nan Yingzhi, "What do you want, my Lord?"

Nan Yingzhi was still a little short of oxygen after coming out of the secret passage. She was exhausted and her voice became weak as she ordered Lingfeng: "Go outside and see if the government office is closed. If not, report the case and ask them to help look for it."

Before entering the secret passage, she thought of asking Lingfeng to report the case to the authorities.

After all, it is one thing for her to send people to look for him, and it is another thing for the government to help.

Theoretically, it would be more efficient to search on both sides.

But thinking that it was getting late and the government was most likely off work and would not accept reports, Nan Yingzhi chose to go to Ruyu Pavilion first and then let Lingfeng report the case.

Just as he was about to leave, Ling Feng looked back and saw Nan Yingzhi rubbing her eyes. He couldn't help but say with concern: "If you feel tired, you can take a rest first. You have to attend the court tomorrow. Ling Yu and I will take care of this matter."

Knowing that they were efficient and that she didn't need to keep a close eye on them all the time, Nan Yingzhi didn't dare to fall asleep easily in order to wait for a reply from Yu Pavilion. She nodded and said "OK" to reassure Lingfeng.

After Lingfeng left, Nan Yingzhi turned her sore neck and leaned back in her seat, thinking of taking a nap while waiting for news.

Even though he kept repeating to himself, "Don't sleep, things haven't been dealt with yet," his head was dizzy and he couldn't control it at all. Everything was quiet around him and Nan Yingzhi slowly lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yingzhi vaguely realized that the time was almost up, and slowly woke up from the dream.

Just at the right moment, a certain acupuncture point on her body hurt, as if someone had pressed it.

Under the dual effects, Nan Yingzhi woke up suddenly and opened her eyelids.

What came into view was a woman wearing a nightgown with a reddish lining.

When she saw Nan Yingzhi getting up, she retracted her outstretched fingers.

The man inside is wearing red and is good at using fingers. This person must be the contact person of Ruyu Pavilion that Yun Ji mentioned, Lin Chi.

This is a chic woman whose name sounds like a man's, who is efficient in her work and often wanders around the world. To describe her in modern terms, she is a "royal sister".

According to Yun Ji, he and Ruyu Pavilion represented by Lin Chi have a superior-subordinate relationship.

Ruyu Pavilion helps Yun Ji do some things that are difficult to do openly, and Yun Ji will cover them and provide funds as long as they don't do anything harmful.

As if to avoid discrimination between men and women, Lin Chi did not get too close to Nan Yingzhi. She stepped away from the desk and bowed to Nan Yingzhi.

Nan Yingzhi felt a little dizzy after waking up. She drank some cold tea to sober herself up, then asked Lin Chi, "What was the result?"

Focusing his eyes on Nan Yingzhi's collar, Lin Chi said in a serious tone, "There is still no trace of the person you ordered us to find. There is no such person in the capital. I'm afraid she has already left the city."

"Leaving the city?" Nan Yingzhi felt that if Yun Yan left the city, the difficulty of searching would be like finding a needle in a haystack. She frowned subconsciously and asked, "Have you checked the guards at the city gate?"

"Yes, but the guards at the city gate have no impression of her. I'm afraid she was transported out of the city in some unknown way." As if thinking of something, Lin Chi opened his mouth to say something, but when he was about to say it, he changed his words, "At present, additional search personnel have been sent to the surrounding counties. You will be notified as soon as there is any news."

Feeling that this was not what Lin Chi wanted to say, Nan Yingzhi rubbed his brows and asked, "What did you want to say?"

When asked what he was thinking just now, Lin Chi's already serious expression became even more tense, and his voice became tense: "May I ask Your Majesty, is the Seventh Princess more beautiful?"

Thinking of Yun Yan's creamy face, Nan Yingzhi nodded quickly: "Forget it."

"The Seventh Princess is so beautiful that it shouldn't have taken so long for my subordinates to find her. There is only one possibility," Lin Chi speculated, "The princess was abducted by a criminal, and the criminal's method is very sophisticated. It doesn't seem like this is his first crime. The princess may be in danger."

When Nan Yingzhi heard the butler yelling "Has the princess been kidnapped?", she was just a little skeptical. But now that she heard the experienced Lin Chi express such a guess, she began to waver.

Could it be true that Yun Yan listened to him, went out for a walk, and then was kidnapped?

The princess, who was too lazy to go out, was instigated by her regent to go out for a trip, but disappeared for no reason.

No matter how you listen to it, it has something to do with her.

Nan Yingzhi couldn't tell for a moment whether this was just a case of human trafficking or a declaration of war against her.

Overthinking made his temples throb and his head start to hurt. Nan Yingzhi rubbed his temples with his hands and told Lin Chi: "Hurry up and send someone to check. I'll wait for your news here."

Feeling that "Yun Ji" was a little different from before, but unable to tell exactly what was different, Lin Chi looked at Nan Yingzhi for a moment, said "yes", and turned away.

Sleeping on a chair was not a good experience. The back of the chair was just at the level of Nan Yingzhi's neck. When she leaned on it, she felt her head was empty and had nowhere to rest.

Nan Yingzhi felt that sleeping on her stomach forward was not good for her cervical spine.

Unable to find a suitable sleeping position for a while, Nan Yingzhi stared at the desk where she was marking documents.

Just as she was thinking about how to take a break, she heard a few loud shouts from outside: "Prince, Prince!"

Recognizing Lingyu's anxious voice, Nan Yingzhi turned her head towards the door, waiting for him to come in and talk.

Rushing in in a hurry, Ling Yu looked excited: "There is some clue about the princess's disappearance!"
