Ling Hao was handling matters at the desk when he noticed a servant bringing him tea.

"I'm not thirsty. I don't need tea."

At this moment, he was concentrating on sorting out the ministers' opinions on the revision of the flood control dams in the south at today's court meeting. Seeing the tea coming up, he had no time to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, the man tapped the tea with his fingers. Ling Hao looked up and saw that the man took advantage of the situation and threw a small note and left in a hurry.

Looking around and seeing that no one noticed him, Ling Hao put the note in his sleeve and made an excuse to change his clothes.

After entering, he saw the handwriting on the note clearly: Miss Su is in danger, danger!

After reading the note, Ling Hao was shocked.

The person just now was his secret agent in the palace. He passed on such a note, which meant that Wan Ning was in danger.

Ling Hao immediately calmed himself down, returned to the room, informed his colleagues on duty about the follow-up matters, and then went to the main hall.

After the gatekeeper Eunuch Wang helped Ling Hao convey the message, Ling Hao hurried out of the palace.

He and several other ministers served in the Academy of Scholars, helping the emperor to handle affairs, so they worked in the front court. Except for the morning court, there was a specific gate for entering and leaving the palace every day.

After going out, he saw his two guards and Xiao Qiu beside them.

They hurriedly handed over the reins, and Ling Hao said seriously: "Let's go, and talk as we walk."

So a few people mounted their horses, rode away quickly, and soon disappeared through the west side gate.

When he heard that his men had already caught up, Ling Hao quickly ordered, "Have you notified the others?"

One of the guards, Liu Yi, replied: "My Lord, I have already notified them and they are waiting outside the city."

"Okay, let's go."

Ling Hao swung the reins vigorously, and the horse under him ran faster.

The two guards were also shouting along the street, asking passers-by to give way immediately if they saw them.

After successfully leaving the city, Ling Hao rode very fast in front and soon arrived at the scene of the incident.

Two of his men were also present at the scene.

"Master Hou!"

Ling Hao turned over and dismounted: "Did you find any clues?"

"Except for a scorpion on the arm, there is nothing else."

As he spoke, Ling Hao had already dismounted and walked up to the dead man in black. There was a black scorpion pattern on his exposed skin.

"Xuanji Pavilion," Ling Hao frowned.

He had heard from the emperor that this organization specialized in murder and robbery, and also took over some things that others did not want to get involved in, but the prerequisite was that they had to pay a large price to hire them.

Emperor Yu Zeyin's subordinates had found out about it and casually told Ling Hao about it at the time.

Ling Hao thought at the time that everything should be under His Majesty's control, so he didn't say much.

(Wan Ning is a girl in the boudoir, who would pay a high price to kill her?)

This made Ling Hao confused. She had checked Wan Ning before and found that she had never done anything to hurt others, so it was impossible for her to be deliberately seeking revenge.

"Could it be because of her identity?"

However, all the concubines in the palace were released and had no connection with that person anymore.

At this moment, Ling Hao even suspected that the imperial concubine who suddenly appeared in the palace was jealous and persecuted all the women before His Majesty.

In an instant, several guesses flashed through Ling Hao's mind.

"Wang Yi, go check what the current situation is of those women who came out of Huguo Temple."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it right away."

"The rest of you, follow the marks left behind and follow immediately."

The people following behind him all bowed in agreement and took action immediately.

At this time, Xiao Qiu took something from a guard and immediately presented it to Ling Hao: "My Lord, these are the girl's shoes."

Seeing the pink embroidered shoes covered with dust and weeds, Ling Hao's hands trembled a little and even the shoes fell off. Wan Ning must have been extremely scared at that time.

He took it and stroked it with his fingers.

"I should escort her back today."

Thinking of going back to the manor, he instructed Xiao Qiu beside him: "You haven't notified the people in the manor yet, right?"

Xiao Qiu shook her head. She was also very dirty, her face was swollen, and one of her arms was hanging unnaturally. "No, we were drugged by them and we are in a hurry to tell you. We haven't told Miss Hao yet."

Ling Hao nodded: "Well, go tell them right away that Miss Su won't be going back for the time being."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After saying this, Xiaoqiu immediately went to get the horse she was riding.

When she arrived at the villa, there was a panic in the villa. After asking, she found out that Hao Lianxin had suddenly disappeared from the house half an hour ago.

Shui Qing, Hao Lianxin's personal maid, told Xiao Qiu: "Our girl is still painting in the room. The layout of the shop was arranged, and when we went in, the brushes were all over the floor."

When Xiaoqiu heard this, she hurriedly told them about Wanning's situation.

Shui Qing was also extremely shocked after hearing Xiao Qiu's words: "Who is so bold?"

But she comforted Xiaoqiu: "Don't be afraid, I have sent people to inform the mansion, I am sure that the Madam and the Master will send people to look for my daughter. Since your daughter also disappeared suddenly, there must be some connection."

After hearing her words, Xiao Qiu immediately said goodbye. She wanted to go and inform the Marquis that Hao Lianxin was also missing.

********

As for Wan Ning, when she woke up, she found herself lying on the ground.

She was now lying face up, flat on the ground, with a roof in her eyes and no windows around.

She felt a headache and felt uncomfortable all over. Wan Ning first listened to the noises around her. There seemed to be voices outside, and breathing sounds could be heard from time to time beside her.

Wan Ning stood up slowly, trying not to make any sound.

After she sat up, she looked around and saw that there were people on the ground and by the wall. One of them was Hao Lianxin.

So Wan Ning quickly got up and tried to wake the two people up, but unexpectedly they did not respond.

(Could it be the effect of the drug that made them unable to wake up?)

When she woke up, she felt dizzy and as if it was unreal.

Unable to wake up the others, Wan Ning had to find a solution on his own.

She first stood up and walked to the wall, slowly found the door along the wall, and tried her best to look out through the gap in the wooden door.

There were trees and rocks all around, and several people in black clothes were walking back and forth.

Wan Ning frowned. Where were they? In the woods? On the mountain?

Guessing who had caught them, Wan Ning quietly walked to the wall and sat down.

In the story line, the heroine Hao Lianxin will encounter a disaster.

It was Concubine Liu who left the palace with them - Liu Ruqing. This woman was dissatisfied that Emperor Yu Zeyin was snatched away by a woman who suddenly appeared, so she wanted to create chaos.

Everyone in Ye City must see that the emperor has been bewitched by a vixen.
