The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Even if Situ Yan was a fool, Xie Yuantang had never seen him go out without shoes.

What's more, Xie Yuantang was with him every day and had given him nutritional supplements before his nap, so he knew his physical condition better than anyone else.

It is impossible for Situ Yan to get sick now!

"Princess, I have asked everyone to help find him."

Hongqiu ran in hurriedly, reporting with a gasp.

As Xie Yuantang walked out quickly, he calmly instructed, "You go look for him too. If you still can't find him after half an hour, then there's no need to look for him anymore."

"No need... to look for it?" Hongqiu was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant for a moment.

Xie Yuantang nodded, looked at Hongqiu and said, "Then you go directly to the emperor. If you can't find the emperor, go to Master Yan and tell them that Situ Yan is missing. Don't say that Situ Yan disappeared on his own. Say that he might have been kidnapped. Exaggerate the situation. If that doesn't work, try to drag as many people into it as possible, such as Situ Xu and Situ Feng."

Xie Yuantang was short in height, and Hongqiu was obviously standing much taller than her, but as soon as she was glanced at by those dark eyes, she felt as if her heart was shocked by frost, and she subconsciously wanted to obey.

Hong Qi nodded blankly, and only reacted when Xie Yuantang walked out, and hurriedly chased after him and asked, "What about you, the princess?"

"I?"

Xie Yuantang pulled the corner of his mouth and said coldly: "I'll go look for it somewhere else, you don't have to worry about me, just do what I tell you to do."

Her instinctive intuition from having survived the apocalypse told her that Situ Yan would not be here.

Xie Yuantang went straight to the backyard without stopping.

In the stable, as if sensing the nervousness of the crowd, the black horse kept kicking the wooden fence with its front legs and neighing urgently.

"Good boy, let's go find your husband now!"

Xie Yuantang walked over, untied the reins and jumped onto the horse. She waved the reins with her little hand, and the black horse immediately neighed and galloped away with her.

The royal hunting grounds almost surrounded half of the mountain. Not far from the residence was a vast grassland, and further back was a dense forest.

"drive!"

Xie Yuantang rode Xiaoguai and headed straight for the forest that was so deep that no mountain could be seen.

-

On the other side, Hong Qi led people to search all the places around the residence, and even went to the residences of the third princess, the sixth prince and others to look for him, but after half an hour, there was still no sign of Situ Yan.

"Miss Hongqiu, what should we do?"

The guards were also panicking. If the fifth prince disappeared under their protection, they would have no chance of saving their heads.

Hong Qi thought of what Xie Yuantang said before he left, gritted her teeth and said, "Now we just have to do this."

She looked at the guard named Luo Ji and said in a deep voice:

"Listen, whether you can save your life depends on how fast you run..."

Luo Ji listened to Hongqiu's words with a pale face and stammered, "I know, I know... Then Miss Hongqiu, you..."

"I'm going to find the Emperor."

After Hongqiu finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the emperor's residence without hesitation.

Luo Ji looked at her back, clenched his fist and said to the others around him: "You guys go on and look for someone else, I'll go find Master Yan."

At this moment, Luo Ji was extremely grateful that this was not his first time to come to the hunting ground and he knew where the ministers of the court lived. Otherwise, by the time he rushed over today, the opportunity would have been lost.

At this moment, no matter whether it was Hong Qi or Luo Ji, everyone had only one thought in their mind:

God bless, Situ Yan is fine!

For this hunting trip, Situ Qing only brought Concubine Li and Concubine Yu. At this moment, he was resting outside Concubine Li's house when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

After a while, Qu Pei came in, his voice slightly anxious: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is missing."

"Ok?"

Situ Qing didn't react for a moment: "Why is she gone? Didn't Yan'er just leave me?"

"Yes……"

Qu Pei spoke quickly: "It is said that the Fifth Prince disappeared half an hour ago. We searched everywhere but couldn't find him. The palace maid who reported him is outside. Does the emperor want to see him?"

"Let her in."

Situ Qing sat up with a gloomy face. Li Fei beside him hurriedly helped him change his clothes and whispered in confusion: "How could he disappear so suddenly? Did he go out to play somewhere?"

Situ Qing didn't say anything. Hong Qi came in, knelt down and was about to salute, but Situ Qing raised his hand to interrupt and said, "Stop talking nonsense. What happened to Yan'er? Where's Yuan Tang? Wasn't she with Yan'er? Did she disappear too?"

Hong Qi's eyes were red, but she remembered Xie Yuantang's instructions clearly, and said clearly: "Your Majesty, after His Highness fell asleep at noon, the Third Princess suddenly came to visit..."

When she said this, she glanced at Concubine Li, then quickly lowered her head and said, "The Crown Prince's wife and I talked to the Third Princess at the door for a long time. After the Third Princess and her people left, we went back and His Highness was gone."

"The door was open, and nothing had been moved inside. Even the shoes were still there, but His Highness was gone."

"The maidservant and the princess were at the door, and the guards were also standing guard. No one saw him go out, and we searched everywhere but couldn't find him."

She finished her story in a few words, and before Situ Qing could say anything, she suddenly heard Concubine Li say, "It's really strange."

"Could it be that he is playing hide-and-seek with his little imperial concubine?" Concubine Li said lightly, "Yan'er is a playful person. Maybe he is hiding somewhere on purpose to prevent you from finding him. Have you searched in places like the closet and under the table?"

Hearing this, Situ Qing frowned and said, "Send someone to look for him. The hunting ground is so small. Where can a big man like him run to?"

Hong Qi was stunned for a moment, and only then did she suddenly realize why Xie Yuantang asked her to exaggerate the matter.

Because of Situ Yan's stupidity, it was easy for people to ignore his safety, and everyone would think that he ran away by himself.

Hong Qi suddenly shouted, "Your Majesty, our prince didn't run away on his own. He is missing and has been kidnapped!"

"Our princess said that the person who could take His Highness away under such tight guard is definitely not an ordinary person. Please send someone to search immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"

"presumptuous!"

Concubine Li said coldly: "How dare a little palace maid yell at the emperor, and what evidence do you have that he was kidnapped?"

Hongqiu took a deep breath, looked at Concubine Li, and was once again grateful for Xie Yuantang's intelligence.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Empress Li, if the Third Princess hadn't come to our house suddenly today, my prince wouldn't have disappeared!"

"Moreover, when His Highness and the Princess came to the hunting ground, apart from meeting the Emperor, they only met the Sixth Prince and the Third Princess."

Concubine Li's expression changed suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

Hong Qi did not answer her, but only kowtowed to Situ Qing and said, "The princess rode out on horseback alone, and now we don't know whether she is alive or dead. Please, Your Majesty, send someone to save my Highness and the princess!"

Situ Qing's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Qu Pei, pass the order down, send someone to find him immediately!"

"Yes!"
