My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

At this moment, Cui Hongjing was sitting in a daze under the half-broken osmanthus tree.

His eyes fell on the tree stump buried in the sand, but his eyes were empty and unfocused, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

Nan Xing had just returned and was standing beside him with a look of resentment on his face, "Your Highness, are you still a man when you act like one?"

Cui Hongjing ignored her and didn't even move.

Nan Xing sneered, "To achieve his goal by any means necessary, what's the difference between him and the prince? Today, I've really broadened my horizons! I just wonder if the prince can sleep well at night? Since the prince is so cold-blooded, I'll go find the young lady myself. You'll be lame for the rest of your life!"

Cui Hongjing showed no expression, but simply said, "She is not allowed to leave the house."

Nanxing stepped forward and kicked Cui Hongjing. Since her young lady was gone, she didn't want to live anymore.

Zhuang Xiang grabbed her and said, "Miss Nanxing, let's go! The prince is doing this for your own good. He is worried that you will be in trouble again if you go to the princess in your eagerness to save the master."

"I think he is just a dog who eats human food but doesn't do anything... bastard... I advise you to be a human being..." Nanxing cursed all the way and was locked up.

In the morning, she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deliver medicine. Halfway through the journey, one of the wheels of the carriage fell off.

No matter how good Wen Bing's driving skills were, he could not prevent the carriage from overturning.

Immediately, at least thirty masked men rushed over.

No matter how good Wen Bing and Wen Ding are at martial arts, they are no match for more than thirty people.

During the melee, Wen Ding blocked a knife for Wen Bing, and his belly was torn open, with his intestines spilling out.

Before Wen Bing could come to his senses, the other party had already run away with Nanxing in his arms.

"Save Xiao Ding!" Nan Xing knew that Wen Bing was no match for so many people and couldn't get her back, so she yelled at him.

Wen Bing looked at Wen Ding, whose life or death was unknown, and hardened his heart.

Since I have given my life to the princess, I must complete the task assigned by the princess. How can I just watch Nanxing suffer?

He knew very well how important Nanxing was to the princess.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Ding." He said in his heart, then tears streaming down his face and his eyes red, he chased after him.

Nanxing was locked up in a private house and was under guard.

The other side had more people, so Wen Bing didn't dare to act rashly and just waited for an opportunity.

He also wanted to go back to the palace to report the news, but he didn't dare to leave. He was afraid that if he left, Nanxing would have no chance of survival.

Unexpectedly, at noon, this group of people received some orders and hurriedly fled, leaving only a dozen people to guard.

Wen Bing took the opportunity to rush over, and when he rushed into the house, one of them was raising a knife towards Nanxing.

Wen Bing threw a stone over, and the big knife slashed across Nanxing's face.

Wen Bing's martial arts skills were indeed not as good as those of the other four divine beasts. He had to protect Nanxing while dealing with more than ten people, and gradually he found it difficult.

Fortunately, the guards sent by Prime Minister Mei also followed here and successfully rescued Nanxing.

"The prince escaped and wanted to kidnap the young lady. They thought the person in the carriage was the young lady, but it turned out to be me." Nanxing said this when he saw him, and the two of them ran back to the palace to report the news.

After returning, I found out that Mei Xueer was also missing.

Moreover, Wen Ding was nowhere to be seen. The overturned carriage was also cleared.

The other party probably realized that he had arrested the wrong person before, so he attacked again.

After learning that the princess was missing, Wen Bing became extremely anxious and wanted to go out like a madman to look for the princess and Wen Ding.

Even if what you bring back is a cold corpse, it is better than doing nothing.

Cui Hongjing did not stop him, he really had no reason to stop him.

The situations of Wen Yi and Wen Wu are similar to those of Wen Bing and Wen Ding.

The two followed Mei Xueer in a hurry to the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the way, they were surrounded by more masked men in black. The two fought hard to fight off those people, but the princess disappeared.

Wen Yi asked Wen Wu to rush back to the palace to inform Prince Jing, while he left secret marks along the way and chased after him.

Unexpectedly, Wen Wu was ambushed again on the way. When he escaped and returned to the palace, Cui Hongjing had already taken Zhuang Xiang to Dingxing Tea House, and Wen Jia had also gone to find the princess.

Wen Wu hurriedly told Zhuang Xiang the general situation, then turned around and left the house.

Of the five divine beasts, except for Wen Ding whose whereabouts are unknown, the rest have all gone astray.

After Wen Bing left, Cui Hongjing still sat under the osmanthus tree in a daze, feeling mixed emotions.

"Your Highness!" Zhuang Xiang looked at him angrily. "The people have been sent out. The princess will be fine. She is so smart."

Cui Hongjing clutched his chest tightly, as if he would spit out blood if he let go. His cold voice rang out: "Wei Tianjie needs help."

"I have already arranged it!" Zhuang Xiang wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, take care!"

The sky grew darker.

The wind picked up and snow began to fall.

The wind blew the light snowflakes all over the sky.

Cui Hongjing was still sitting in the yard, motionless.

His head and shoulders were already covered with a layer of white.

"Your Highness, the imperial guards and the emperor's secret guards have all left the city, led by Commander Qian himself." Zhuang Xiang came over and said softly.

Cui Hongjing still didn't move, as if he didn't hear anything.

Still sitting there in a daze.

The snowflakes on my shoulders accumulated more and more.

His face was cold and cruel.

There was a hint of pain in his eyes.

His heart was dripping with blood.

But reason told him that he should not be distracted at this moment.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and ran towards Qingfeng Garden.

"Prince, you can't use your internal force on your legs..." Zhuang Xiang shouted behind him, but he couldn't hear him.

At the door, three words were carved crookedly on the piece of fine nanmu wood.

It took him a lot of effort to barely recognize that the three words engraved on it were "Qingfengyuan".

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Really, you are ignorant and incompetent!"

In the yard, a simple swing made of rattan was empty, swaying slightly in the cold wind.

But there was no one on the swing, only snow.

He seemed to see a beautiful and playful woman sitting on it.

While laughing, he shouted, "Nanxing, push harder...hahahaha..."

There is also a snowman on the open space. The snowman’s eyes have been embedded, but there is no nose or mouth.

The two eyes made of black beans were staring at him at this moment, as if Mei Xueer was sneering at him.

Next to the dog hole in the courtyard wall, a small kitchen was built, and on the stove there was a pot of braised pork intestines.

The pig intestines had already cooled down and were covered with a thick layer of white oil.

On the dressing table in the bedroom, there were some simple rouge and powder scattered around, and it was obvious that it was not used much on a daily basis.

In the wooden basin, even the water used for washing face had not been poured out, and a cotton towel was still half soaked in the water.

The quilt on the bed was piled up haphazardly and was cold.

The bed was messy and even the bedding was not made.

The bed was very big, but only half of the space was usable because the other half was filled with various precious ornaments, antiques, etc.

He looked carefully and found that they were all the things he had given her before.

"This sloppy, lazy and money-grubbing woman!" He couldn't help but curse inwardly again.

As he cursed, his eyes softened unconsciously.

There is only one maid available, and there is not even a servant in the yard. With such food and such a bedroom, how can it be the place where a princess lives?

He decided to replace all the old furniture in the yard and the house with the best ones tomorrow. Then he remembered that Mei Xueer was gone.

He thought about it and realized that this piece of trash hadn't done anything to let him down since she married into the palace, except for making him mad from time to time.

He stroked his legs, thinking about her focused expression when she applied the medicine on him.

Thinking about what she said in front of the Queen Mother and the pretended affectionate words she said to me.

"Grandmother, he always refuses to cooperate with the treatment and never listens to me as a doctor."

At the palace gate, she bent down with a smile and tightened the collar of his cloak for him.

She said, "My Lord, it's cold in the morning, don't catch a cold."

……

If, if all this were true, how wonderful it would be.

But, all this is just acting.

Everybody is acting.

That's it.

Even the way she looked at him was full of mockery and malice.

He knew that she hated him.

Cui Hongjing couldn't help but reach out his hand and touch the quilt that seemed to still carry her body fragrance.

A little turtle suddenly poked its head out from under the quilt, but when it saw him, it was so scared that it quickly shrank back.

Is this the legendary "Dog Prince"?

She sleeps with this "Prince" in her arms at night?

Seeing that there was no movement, the little turtle quietly poked its head out again after a while, tilted its head, and stared at Prince Jing with a pair of mung bean-like eyes.

It seemed to be mocking him.

When Cui Hongjing thought of this turtle sleeping in Mei Xueer's bed every night, he felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart.

With a wave of his hand, the poor "Dog Prince" was put into the sleeve pocket by the real Dog Prince.

"I will be out of the house for a few days!" he said in a low voice.

"Your Highness..." Reason told Zhuang Xiang that he should persuade him, but his emotions prevented him from saying it.

"No need to say more, go and prepare the car immediately!" Cui Hongjing looked angry and anxious.

Zhuang Xiang had no choice but to prepare the carriage. Cui Hongjing's voice came from behind him, "Prepare the horses, the fastest horses! Go! My princess has been kidnapped, how can I not go and rescue her myself?"
