New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

Outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, a man in exquisite clothes strode in with a calm expression. He first glanced at the old man who deliberately spoke ambiguous words to arouse suspicion, and then walked directly into the hall and respectfully paid his respects to the emperor.

"I see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

When Hongli saw his brother coming over, his cold and handsome face calmed down a little. He said softly, "Hongzhan, get up. Tell them everything you know."

Hongzhan stood up and nodded, "At that time, I learned that someone had forged an imperial decree, saying that someone was colluding with the Qinglong Gang, so I sent people to investigate.

According to the information we received, the Qinglong Gang has been hit hard over the years and has been hiding everywhere. They dare not show their true face to anyone and have almost disappeared. It is almost impossible for anyone to collude with them.

These are the results of the investigation I sent people to conduct. They were presented to the Emperor as soon as possible and he was also aware of it. Naturally, there would be no conspiracy between us.

After all, as a member of the royal family, I will not collude with outsiders to overthrow our current dynasty. I am not that stupid."

Hongzhan spoke confidently about the results of his investigation, and also presented the letters and other things he had found previously to everyone. He looked coldly at the ministers in the hall who were looking at each other in confusion.

"This this……"

The ministers looked at each other. Seeing the irrefutable evidence, they were speechless.

As for the minister who had falsely accused Xiao Zhihang before, he also lowered his head, not daring to say much, trying to hide himself. In his heart, he felt inexplicably nervous.

"Lord Liu, do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Hongli looked at the white-haired old man.

Liu Aiqing's real name is Liu Yuan. His ancestral home is in Suzhou. His family is poor, but he has always been diligent and conscientious. I don't know if he made a fortune recently, but the younger generation in his family have been going to places of entertainment one after another and buying things on a large scale.

Hongli had been keeping an eye on him for a long time, and this time he took the initiative to involve Xiao Zhihang, which just gave him a reason to pursue the matter.

"Everyone else please leave first. Liu Aiqing will stay."

"Yes!"

Except Liu Yuan, everyone else left the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Zhihang escaped the disaster in this way. It seemed ordinary, but it was all thanks to his connections and his acquaintance with the prince and the emperor. Otherwise, he would have been wrongly imprisoned and might even have been punished.

"Brother Xiao, luckily I arrived in time. Don't worry too much. After this, Xiaoyanzi will be fine."

Hongzhan left the palace with Xiao Zhihang. He patted Xiao Zhihang's shoulder gently to comfort him, with some worry in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness. If you hadn't come in time, I would have had a hard time escaping. I wonder if Feng'er knows about Xiaoyanzi's disappearance?"

Xiao Zhihang first thanked Prince Hongzhan with gratitude, then suddenly thought of Xiao Feng who was studying with Qing'er in the palace, and asked about him with concern, fearing that Feng'er would be upset if he knew.

Hongzhan sighed and said, "Fifth Prince and his men came to the palace to look for me, saying that you were in trouble and that Xiaoyanzi was missing. I had no choice but to rush over. The two children knew everything, and I don't know how they are making a fuss now.

But fortunately, with the wife in the mansion, I think it should be under control."

.........

"Little Swallow! I want to find Little Swallow, let me go! I want to find Little Swallow!"

In the exquisite and luxurious backyard of the royal palace, the ten-year-old Xiao Feng learned that his sister was missing. He yelled and wanted to run out of the door in an attempt to find his sister.

Yongqi, Ziwei, Erkang, Ertai, Benjamin, Qing'er, and even Liu Qing and Liu Hong were all there. When they saw Xiao Feng looking so worried and anxious, they hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Xiao Feng, calm down now. The Emperor has already sent people to look for Xiao Yanzi. Don't worry, Xiao Yanzi will be fine."

Yongqi held Xiao Feng's waist to prevent him from moving. While holding him tightly, he also tried to comfort him and signaled Benjamin next to him to come over and help.

Benjamin understood and immediately held Xiao Feng's arm, saying, "Yongqi is right. Xiaoyanzi will be fine. The emperor and his men have sent people to look for Xiaoyanzi. Almost the entire capital has been turned upside down. Xiaoyanzi will definitely be found. If you run around, when Xiaoyanzi comes back, she won't be able to see you. Wouldn't that be very sad?"

Xiao Feng was ten years old, the oldest child present. If he wanted to break free, he could, but he didn't want to hurt them. He struggled less, looking a little nervous, and asked uncertainly, "Xiaoyanzi, are you really going to be okay?"

Xiaoyanzi was kidnapped in front of her, but she failed to catch her. Ziwei felt so guilty that she couldn't hold back her tears. However, she still calmed herself down. After all, in front of these children, she had the soul of an adult and she was still relatively rational.

She wiped away the tears that she couldn't help but shed, and said seriously, "I believe she will turn danger into safety. She must have the ability to do so. What we need to do now is to trust her and wait for her to come back at home."

Qing'er and others couldn't help but comfort him, not only to comfort Xiao Feng, but also to comfort themselves.

Several children gathered together, staring blankly in silence. Their relatives and friends were gone. Even though they were just children, they could understand the sadness and nervousness and worry of this loss.

Yun Qingwan stood outside the yard and watched quietly, sighing silently. These children were all good children who valued friendship and loyalty. She was really afraid that Yongqi and the others could not control Xiao Feng's emotions, and let him run out to look for someone. If he didn't find the person and got lost, she really wouldn't be able to explain to Brother Xiao and the others.

Now that the kids have calmed down, everything is much better.

But where on earth was Xiaoyanzi kidnapped to? It was almost dark.

----

The officers and soldiers who were looking for the person searched almost every corner of the capital, but did not find anyone. Until suddenly an explosion was heard, which startled the residents nearby and someone reported the case, everyone hurried over.

I saw that the courtyard was charred black. Obviously, there was a big fire before that. However, no one knew when the fire started and when it was put out.

After searching the nearby residents, we found that almost all the houses in this area had been bought out. Only some residents far away said that the people living in this area did not have a fixed residence. They just suddenly heard an explosion which was quite far away. They walked over to see with some suspicion and realized that the area was on fire. Fearing that there was something wrong inside, they quickly reported the case.

The officers and soldiers searched the house but found nothing. They didn't even know who had lived there.

There were quite a few people watching, including three figures wearing black robes. They took off their veils and blended into the crowd, pretending to be passers-by.

Seeing that the courtyard was destroyed by the explosion, the three of them looked at each other in surprise.

The three of them left the crowd and found a secluded corner. A Qingyun Pavilion subordinate who was left behind to respond told them that the Pavilion Master wanted to cook for the little princess and ended up blowing up the kitchen.

The second, fifth and sixth brothers were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed so hard that they couldn't stand up.

"Hahaha, Pavilion Master cooks? Can I eat it?"

"You're still asking if you can eat? The kitchen exploded, the house burned down, and you're still asking if you can eat? Hahahahaha."

"Hahahaha, I just think the Pavilion Master is too talented. He could even blow up the kitchen while cooking and even burn down the house. Fortunately, the Pavilion Master has a big family and is powerful. Otherwise, how could we withstand such a torment from him?"

The three of them were teasing the Pavilion Master Duanmu Qing one after another, mainly because they didn't expect that their wise and powerful Pavilion Master would one day have a kitchen explosion.

The young man who was delivering the message to them listened to them laughing at the Pavilion Master, the corners of his lips secretly raised, and he wanted to laugh in his heart, saying that he had caught something big, but due to his status, he did not dare to laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. Let's go find the Pavilion Master and the others. You said the Pavilion Master took that little girl away, right? Where did he take her to?" asked the second brother.

"They should have arrived in Jiahe Town, fifty miles away from the capital." The man replied respectfully.

"They went there on horseback?"

Lao Wu touched his chin and asked curiously.

"No, the Pavilion Master used Qinggong to go there."

"Wow, the Pavilion Master really doesn't take his internal energy seriously. He uses lightness skills to carry a child for more than 50 kilometers. That's amazing." Lao Liu exclaimed in amazement.

"Alright, alright, stop joking, let's go over there quickly. It looks like the Pavilion Master is planning to take that little princess to Qingyun Pavilion, so let's go over there quickly."

"it is good!"

...............

Jiahe Town, in Youran Inn.

Xiaoyanzi revealed her identity and was abducted by her beautiful aunt who looked incredulous.

Yes, kidnapped.

In fact, it just turned into the next room.

"Xiaoyanzi, right? How did you and Ziwei know each other? What's going on with you now?"

Huo Chengyue carried the sweet and soft Xiaoyanzi back to her room and asked her excitedly, not noticing that her somewhat hesitant son quickly put on his clothes after hearing her voice, and went to bed without hesitation to cover himself with the quilt.

"Mom, I haven't finished washing yet, why did you come in directly?" A little boy of five or six years old was sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, and couldn't help but protest with a red face.

When Xiaoyanzi was carried into the room, she didn't notice that there was someone in the room. She just felt a heat blowing on her face. When she heard the sound and looked at the bed, she saw a small bulge on the bed. Under the mist, she could vaguely see the figure of a child. She couldn't help but laugh.

Huo Chengyue didn't hear Xiaoyanzi's reply, and before she could say anything, she heard her son's protest.

After putting Xiaoyanzi on the ground, she slapped her forehead fiercely, then turned back to her son with some guilt and said, "I'm so sorry, Qiqi, mother didn't mean it."

Huo Yuqi had no intention of really blaming his mother. He quietly put on his clothes from under the quilt, at least to avoid exposing himself. Then he couldn't help but look curiously at the three-year-old little sister lying on the ground.

"Mother, whose child is this? Why did you kidnap someone else's child?"

Huo Chengyue couldn't help but touch her nose when she heard what her son said, and said awkwardly, "Ahem, who said I kidnapped a child? She's a kid from the next room. I thought she looked a bit like an acquaintance of mine, so I couldn't help but invite her into the room to chat. She came here voluntarily, right, Xiaoyanzi?"

Xiaoyanzi stood obediently on the ground. When she heard the mother and daughter discussing her, her big eyes rolled around. When she heard the word "voluntary", she just twitched her mouth. She didn't refute and nodded, "Yes, auntie."

In fact, she also wanted to know why she cared so much about her and Ziwei?

Seeing Xiaoyanzi being so well-behaved, Huo Chengyue couldn't help but feel pity for her. She held her in her arms and put her on a chair. She sat next to her, poured her a cup of tea, and pushed some snacks to her.

At this time, the fog in the room gradually dissipated. Huo Yuqi, who had just secretly put on his clothes, ran downstairs and ran to the table. He asked his mother to hold him and sit on a small stool. Then he looked at Xiaoyanzi with his big eyes and said in a baby voice, "Hello, little friend, what's your name? Are you really here voluntarily?"

When he mentioned the word "voluntary", he emphasized the two words and glanced secretly at his mother. It was obvious that he did not believe what his mother said at all.

When Huo Chengyue heard what the boy said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. You naughty boy, you're not as obedient and cute as a little girl at all.

Xiaoyanzi glanced at the mother and son, wondering what she should say so as not to offend them.

"Ahem, I can volunteer, let's not talk about this.

"Pretty auntie, I want to know why you are so excited after knowing my name is Xiaoyanzi? Do you know me?"

After hearing what Xiaoyanzi said, Huo Chengyue looked at her son, then looked at Xiaoyanzi who was staring at her with burning eyes. She sighed slowly, but was wondering in her heart how she should explain it.

Could she tell them that she was from the 21st century and grew up watching the New My Fair Princess? Could she say that her favorite character in the play was the daring Xiaoyanzi? Could she say that? Could she say that she somehow traveled back to Xiaoyanzi's childhood and met her?

"Ahem, it's like this. I was lucky enough to hear the name Xiaoyanzi, and I just thought it was a cute name. I just wanted to get to know her. I also heard that Xiaoyanzi has a good sister named Ziwei, so, um, I just wanted to communicate with her."

Hearing Huo Chengyue's seemingly sincere words, which actually contained no truth, not only Xiaoyanzi, who was actually only three years old but had the soul of an adult, even Huo Chengyue's own son, Huo Yuqi, who was over five years old, didn't believe it.

Faced with the two people's unbelieving looks, Huo Chengyue felt inexplicably embarrassed. She didn't dare to say anything more and just wanted to quickly skip this topic.

So she quickly found a topic to talk about, "Xiaoyanzi, how old are you now? Where do you live now?"

Xiaoyanzi sighed, "I was kidnapped. Now, I can't go home. I don't know if my parents are worried about me. Sigh."
