Nangong Mingxuan was in a bad mood and was walking alone on the empty street.

He couldn't accept this fact, and he quickly reviewed the first half of his life in his mind.

He recalled every detail of his acquaintance with Ouyang Miaoling, and the birth of his two children. There had been too many twists and turns, joys and sorrows between them. All he wanted was for the family to be reunited, but he didn't know why it was so difficult.

Nangong Mingxuan walked aimlessly on the street as if he had lost his soul.

Suddenly, he felt someone bump into him and came to his senses.

"Why are you so careless? Don't you look at the road when you walk?" A girl's clear voice came to my ears.

Nangong Mingxuan felt that this voice was very familiar. He looked closely and called out in surprise: "Li'er!"

The girl raised her head, looked at Nangong Mingxuan and said, "Uncle Nangong, why are you here?"

It turned out to be Ouyang Li. Today, she went out to buy something, and unexpectedly ran into Nangong Mingxuan who looked dazed on the way back.

"Lier, are you here alone?" Nangong Mingxuan asked with concern.

"No, my mother and I came together." Ouyang Li replied.

"Then where is your mother now?" Nangong Mingxuan asked.

"Mother... Mother has been seeing patients in the clinic in front. I don't know why, but she hasn't come back since yesterday. I was just about to go look for her, and then I ran into you." Ouyang Li explained.

"Did your mother bring anyone else with you when you came out this time?" Nangong Mingxuan asked again.

"Yes, Uncle Mo Ran has always been with us." Ouyang Li answered truthfully.

"What happened to your mother not coming home yesterday?"

"I just don't know. I went to my mother's room early this morning and found that there was no sign that she had been moved. Then I looked for her in the clinic, but I couldn't find her. Uncle Mo Ran also came out to look for her for a long time, but there was still no news. I was so anxious that I came out to look for my mother as well."

"What? Your mother didn't go home last night?" Nangong Mingxuan heard Ouyang Li's words with anxiety in his tone.

"Well... I wonder if mother has encountered something," Ouyang Li said with a worried look on his face.

"Uncle Nangong, can you help me find my mother?" Ouyang Li looked at Nangong Mingxuan expectantly, waiting for his reply.

"Okay... don't worry, I will send someone to help look for it." Nangong Mingxuan comforted Ouyang Li.

"Yeah," Ouyang Li nodded heavily.

"Where do you live now? Why don't you move in with us? That way, you can be the first to know any news about your mother," Nangong Mingxuan suggested.

"Uncle Nangong, thank you for your kindness. I'd better go back to the clinic. If Uncle Mo Ran can't find me, he will be worried about me." Ouyang Li refused.

"Okay... I'll take you home now. Don't run around on the street alone. When I get news about your mother, I'll go to the clinic to inform you."

"Okay... then I'll trouble you, Uncle Nangong." Ouyang Li nodded obediently in agreement.

When Nangong Mingxuan accompanied Ouyang Li back to Renxin Medical Clinic, Mo Ran was anxiously looking for her everywhere.

Mo Ran pulled Ouyang Li behind him and said, "Master Nangong, why are you here?"

"Our young master sent me here because he had something to do. I saw Li'er on the street by chance and sent her back on the way." Nangong Mingxuan explained the whole story.

"Okay... now that the person has been sent here, you can go back." Mo Ran said unhappily.

Nangong Mingxuan reluctantly said goodbye to Ouyang Li and rushed back to the courtyard.

Wushang and Fengxing saw their master coming back and hurried to greet him.

"Master...where have you been? Wushang and I are about to go out to look for you."

"I'm fine... Give orders to quickly find the princess' whereabouts. The princess has been missing for a day and a night." Nangong Mingxuan said anxiously.

"Is the princess here too?" Feng Xing asked doubtfully.

"Well... I just ran into Li'er on the street, and it was Li'er who said it." Nangong Mingxuan replied indifferently.

"Okay... then this subordinate and Wushang will go and do our best to find the whereabouts of the princess." Feng Xing said and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, just as he was about to take a step, Nangong Mingxuan stopped him: "Wait a minute..."

Feng Xing hurriedly stopped, turned around, and bowed respectfully, "My Lord, is there anything else you want me to do?"

Nangong Mingxuan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to check the Crown Prince's matter again. I feel that Ling'er's disappearance may be related to the Crown Prince's incident."

Feng Xing was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded in response, "Yes... Master, I'll arrange it right away."

Afterwards, Feng Xing and Wu Shang said goodbye and left the room together.

Nangong Mingxuan couldn't bear the torment of waiting for news. Now that he knew Ouyang Miaoling was also here, he couldn't let anything happen to her again.

Having made up his mind, he headed for the door.

Inside the post station, a group of serious-looking court officials walked in and carefully examined the body of the crown prince.

Because the fire burned for a long time, the two people were burned beyond recognition and their original appearance was difficult to identify.

"Judging from their height characteristics, these two bodies match the prince's," one of the officials said.

"His face is no longer recognizable, but according to the guards outside the inn, the prince has not come out since he entered the room at night. It must be the prince," said another official.

"Yes...Your Excellency is right. I also speculate that it must be the prince," another minister echoed.

The entire autopsy process was seen by the prince and Ouyang Miaoling who were hiding in the dark.

"Do you know these ministers?" Ouyang Miaoling asked.

"I know...the Minister of Personnel, the Left Prime Minister, and General Hongwu." The prince casually stated the identities of several people.

"Do you think there is a possibility that one of them is the person behind the scenes and is willing to do something to hurt you?" Ouyang Miaoling asked again in a low voice.

"No, none of them have any reason to do so, and if something happens to me, they won't benefit from it. I am definitely not them." The prince answered firmly and straightforwardly.

Just as the two of them were still guessing who might be behind the scenes, a guy who was peeking out from the invisible crowd caught their attention.

"Did you see that person?" Ouyang Miaoling pointed in the direction of the person and showed it to Yun Jiusi.

"Hmm...I noticed."

"There must be something wrong with that person. If we follow him, we might get something unexpected."

"Yeah," Yun Jiusi nodded at Ouyang Miaoling.

Just as that person was evacuating, Ouyang Miaoling and Yun Jiusi followed.
