Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

When little Yining saw this scene, his eyes suddenly widened, and he even complained in his heart: Is this Lord Cui here to commit fraud?

Fortunately, just as Cui Xiangyang's head was about to hit the ground, Lin Yuzan quickly jumped out of the counter and held him steadily.

Wang Cheng hurriedly handed the kid to the boy, and ran over to help. Together with his old rival, he helped the kid to a chair.

Jiang Li slapped his forehead belatedly, then said in sudden realization, "The group of people that uncle just mentioned who saw ghosts turned out to be Cui Zhiyao's servants. That's not right, how could Cui Zhiyao not be there? She should always be carrying poison with her."

Shangguan Wenyuan glanced at her speechlessly, as if asking, "Who would be like you?" He murmured, "Those people must have been poisoned by the Soul-Eating Incense."

Jiang Li and Xiao Yining were filled with astonishment and asked in unison, "Soul-devouring incense?"

Soul-devouring incense is also available in Medicine Valley.

Pei Yi had used this trick before when trying to get information from Shangguan Wenyuan, but it didn't work on Shangguan Guiqing. Otherwise, Pei Yi wouldn't have pretended to be Shangguan Wenyuan.

"Shangguan Wenyuan" nodded solemnly. He had already guessed who did it and couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh.

Xiao Yining also thought of someone and hurriedly whispered in the fellow villager's ear: "Brother Wenyuan, do you think it was Doctor Zhao who just took Sister Cui away?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wenyuan was about to respond with a soothing reassurance. However, Jiang Li, standing beside him, grabbed the boy's arm and demanded, "Doctor Zhao? That disgusting cripple is here again?"

The little kid was surprised by her sister's excitement, but she still told the truth: "Yes, Sister Jiang Li, Doctor Zhao also spoke to Sister Cui, but I scared him away."

The conversation between the three little ones was heard by the two old men, who shook their heads helplessly.

Wang Cheng took out a silver needle and pierced several acupuncture points on Cui Xiangyang.

Not long after, Cui Xiangyang slowly woke up. Before he could fully open his eyes, he suddenly grabbed the wrists of the two people in front of him and asked in a trembling voice, "Why are you two here? Is it, is it the Emperor..."

Lin Yuzan patiently comforted him, "Don't worry, Master Cui. We were completely unaware of your daughter's disappearance, and the Emperor has no suspicions about you."

Cui Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart immediately rose to his throat. He glared at the innocent "Shangguan Wenyuan" and asked, "Did you say something to Yaoyao again that made her abandon her family and take risks?"

Seeing this, Jiang Li put his hands on his hips and angrily retorted, "Don't talk nonsense, old man. Every time Cui Zhiyao came over, Shangguan Wenyuan and I chased her away. She was the one who kept coming here."

Little Yining quickly agreed, "Yes, Master Cui. Today, when Brother Wenyuan saw Sister Cui coming, he immediately asked her to leave and told her not to come, so as not to worry you!"

Lin Yuzan also followed suit, saying, "Master Cui, the most urgent thing is to report this matter to the Jingzhao Yin and ask him to help with the search. Don't delay here."

"She went, my wife has already gone to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to report the case, and at the same time sent all the servants in the mansion to look for Yaoyao. As soon as I received the news in the palace, I thought of this bad boy. Today, it was this bad boy who told Yaoyao's maid that he was having a hard time, so Yaoyao begged my wife to come out and help him." Cui Xiangyang said angrily.

These words were like a heavy scapegoat, slamming Shangguan Wenyuan's head. Impatience flashed across his face, but he regained his usual tone and replied coldly, "Then Lord Cui should question the maidservant beside Cui Zhiyao. I, Pei, am here to investigate the case under orders from the emperor, and I cannot bear the charge of deceiving a child."

The boy's voice was clear and pleasant, but the coldness and irritability in his voice had reached the extreme.

"Don't be angry, Ayi. Lord Cui loves his daughter so much that he does this." Wang Cheng tried to smooth things over.

Pei?

Ayi?

Cui Xiangyang's pupils suddenly shrank as he stared at Shangguan Wenyuan's face in disbelief. "You are Pei Dafu's adopted son, so where is Shangguan Wenyuan?"

Pei Yi didn't even think twice and blurted out two words: "Dead!"

Cui Xiangyang's heart was suddenly filled with waves. He staggered to his feet, and his shocked eyes swept across the faces of everyone in Miaozhen Hall one by one, finally stopping on Lin Yuzan's slightly gloomy face.

In a flash, his grip on Lin Yuzan's wrist suddenly tightened, and he asked solemnly, "Yuzan, considering our friendship in Yanzhou and how my daughter Yaoyao has been taking care of the princess at the girls' school, please tell me what crime my senior brother has committed?"

Lin Yuzan was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Doctor Shangguan once committed a capital crime in the palace, punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his clan."

"Exterminating the entire clan... How could it be..."

Cui Xiangyang let go of his hand in disbelief and almost collapsed to the ground.

But in a flash, he forced himself to calm down, straightened his back, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand..."

He pushed away the two hands that wanted to support him, picked up his sword, and walked out with a stern face.

However, just as he was about to step out the door, he heard the boy's warning from behind him.

"Master Cui, I hope that after you find Cui Zhiyao, you can discipline her properly, be careful with your words and actions, and don't cause trouble for others."

"it is good."

With this response, Cui Xiangyang completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

The atmosphere in Miaozhen Hall became gloomy due to this person's departure.

After a moment, Lin Yuzan broke the silence: "Pei Yi, Lord Cui's coming here and making such a fuss just gave you an excuse to close Miaozhen Hall."

"You want me to go find Cui Zhiyao?" Pei Yi said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Cheng patted his shoulder to comfort him. "Don't go. If it's really Zhao Langzhong who kidnapped Miss Cui, he'll come back looking for you. He knows what his son is thinking, and you're still his son."

Pei Yi:.......

"But uncle, Dad clearly said that my cousin has been exposed!" Little Yining asked in confusion.

Wang Cheng smiled calmly and shook his head. "Sister Qing, we don't know Zhao Langzhong, but people always have a little hope. Besides, Ayi just mentioned that Shangguan Wenyuan is dead. How could Zhao Langzhong not know? He would come regardless of whether Ayi is exposed or not."

Hearing this, Xiao Yining asked another stupid question: "How could Zhao Langzhong know what my cousin said? Could it be that Lord Cui was in cahoots with him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the little boy realized that there was a traitor in the Cui Mansion, otherwise Cui Zhiyao would not have been brought here.

Lin Yuzan glanced at the young man and responded, "Qing Jie'er, the human heart is unpredictable. Lord Cui is no fool. I doubt he didn't notice what Lord Shangguan did. Now that Zhao Langzhong has the leverage to control Lord Cui, I can't say for sure."

Xiao Yining: (个_个), Lord Cui is not a good person either?

Lin Yuzan pursed his lips at Pei Yi, as if blaming him for revealing his identity, and continued, "Just pretend you don't know and continue to be Shangguan Wenyuan, playing tricks on Zhao Langzhong. You don't need to worry about the rest. Shu Zhi and I will go to the place Jiang Yatou mentioned to check it out, and then send a message to Lin Zi, asking him to keep an eye on the seven or eight-year-old child. Don't worry about Miss Cui."

Pei Yi glanced at him and said, "I know what I'm doing. I don't need you to teach me."

"Will my cousin be in danger?" Xiao Yining asked worriedly.

Faced with the child's sincere concern, the boy's expression softened involuntarily. "Don't worry, Sister Qing. I have shadow guards protecting me in secret."

The little kid pouted and said, "But even the Shadow Guard couldn't withstand the power of the Soul Devouring Incense, and Sister Cui was captured."

Then, she looked at the two adults worriedly: "Dad, Uncle, will Sister Cui be okay?"

Lin Yuzan reached out and hugged his worried daughter back, comforting her, "No, Miss Cui is still useful. No matter who has captured her, she will be safe for a while. But if you delay, something bad will happen. Dad and uncle will help find her."

Wang Chengze reminded him, "Qing Jie'er, don't tell Baozi and the others to go find someone, to avoid any trouble."

The little kid nodded sensibly, but still looked worried.

At this moment, Jiang Li exclaimed beside them: "Who are you? Where did you come from?"

When everyone looked over, they saw 13 with his arms crossed over his chest, giving off an aura that said, "Keep Away From Me."

She glanced coldly at Xiao Yining and the others and declared, "We Shadow Guards have been through countless trials and tribulations. We are not afraid of poison, nor are we afraid of death."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot without leaving a cloud, hiding in the darkness with a sharp move.

Everyone:......

Xiao Yining: (￣_￣|||), I was wrong, sister, I shouldn’t have said that Shadow Guard was not good enough!

The two adults and three children looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, and could only remain silent.

After a while, Princess Xiao Yining returned in her carriage, and the door of Miaozhen Hall was closed tightly and never opened again.

Little Yining sat upright in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain, and stared at the nondescript sign of Miaozhen Hall, "Zhen Miao Tang." He sent it off in his heart: "The era of Miaozhen Hall is finally coming to an end."

I could hear a conversation going on through the door.

"Shangguan Wenyuan, you're so cunning! We've been together for so long, and you didn't even tell me your name is Pei Yi, or that you're the adopted son of Chief Eunuch Pei. Then, then, then you look like a girl, so you're probably a eunuch too!"

"roll!"

"Hey, don't be angry. How about I take your pulse or examine you? My master said that eunuchs have imbalanced yin and yang, their minds are different from those of ordinary people, and they can also leak urine. You treated me badly before, but I don't blame you anymore. I'm a doctor and can heal you. The consultation fee will be deducted from the three thousand taels I owe you, okay, okay!"

"roll!"

"If you don't want to open Miaozhen Hall anymore, could you please let me use this place to practice medicine so I can make money and pay you back?"

"..."

There was a lot of noise inside Miaozhen Hall, and the carriage outside the door slowly drove away, ending today's leisure time.

Wang and Lin sent the kid home and then went out to do their work again.

The news of Cui Zhiyao's disappearance was also known to many people at dusk.

When the little boy returned home, he couldn't wait to write a letter to his classmates, describing in the letter the conversations between Cui Zhiyao and others when she came to Miaozhen Hall, and how she disappeared.

Xiao Yining looked at the nine maids she had brought to help her write the letter: (?■_■), even if they couldn't control their family members to help find Cui Zhiyao, they could still be more alert after knowing how Cui Zhiyao was abducted.

For some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart, thinking that this matter was not that simple and that there might be some terrible consequences.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh deeply again because she was still a little kid and felt powerless to help.

And the children’s sisters replied very quickly.

The person who replied the fastest was Yu Ke. She and Lin Yinhu were selling vegetables outside and knew more details.

Yu Ke's letter: "Sister Princess, the driver delivering the vegetables mentioned that he saw a young girl, about my age, wearing a pink fur coat, walking side by side with an elderly man with limited mobility. However, for unknown reasons, after a few words, the two separated, each walking alone in the snow. I have already asked someone to inform the Jingzhao Yin of this situation, but I don't know if that person was Sister Cui."

Xiao Yining: Cui Zhiyao is indeed wearing a pretty pink today, but the power of this soul-devouring incense is really strong. If someone accidentally sees her walking alone on the street, they will definitely think, like the coachman of Chunmanlou, that she was kicked out of the house or ran away from home because of a quarrel.

The little girl put Yu Ke's letter aside, preparing to wait for a reply, and then opened the letters from several other children. They were basically the same, saying that their families had informed them of the matter and confined them to house arrest and not allowed to go out. They also thanked her for writing down what happened so that they would not have to have wild guesses.

It's obvious from the letter that it was written according to the adults' instructions.

When I opened Liu Zhenying's letter, the content had changed slightly.

Liu Zhenying's letter: "My mother analyzed that Sister Cui's disappearance might be related to an old feud in her family, or someone intended to use this to blackmail Lord Cui. However, my mother told me privately that my father once said that although Cui Xiangyang is an imperial physician, he is very cunning and very good at protecting himself. Very few people can get the upper hand over him. If someone really is using Sister Cui to threaten Lord Cui, then this matter must be very serious. Princess sister, don't worry, the elders will take care of everything. We can just wait for news at home."

Little Yining poked his little head and complained in his heart: No matter how big the matter is, it can be compared to plotting to usurp the throne. But if they kidnapped her so blatantly, the person behind it wouldn't be afraid that my uncle would be on guard against Lord Cui. This is a completely bad move.

She curled her lips, puzzled, and put her head on the letter in deep thought.

At this time, Wan Niang walked in holding a letter. Seeing her daughter like this, she shook her head, handed the letter to her, and said softly, "Qing Jie'er, this is the last letter Miss Zhang wrote to you. Miss Cui's matter is being investigated by the Jingzhao Yin and others, so don't think about it anymore."

The little kid raised his head and asked, "Mom, haven't Dad and Uncle come back yet?"

Wan Niang sighed, "No, your father and uncle should still be helping to look for it. Qing Jie'er, please read the letter and go to bed early. Mother's head hurts just reading all these letters."

Xiao Yining lowered her head in disappointment and took out Zhang Nishang's letter.

At just one glance, her eyes suddenly lit up. She finally had a clue about Cui Zhiyao in Zhang Nishang's letter, but the credit for this matter was still related to the two old men in her family.
