After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Even though the chances were slim, he didn't want to give up, just as he told the search and rescue team on the first day: if he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body.

County Magistrate Zhang jumped back into the armchair in frustration. Xiao Jianting rested his elbows on his knees and hugged his head with his arms, trying to hide his outward emotions.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, and every step stepped on their hearts. They looked up at the same time.

It turned out to be Axuan and Qingyu!

A Yu and Qing Yu had messy hair and looked tired, not looking very presentable. They almost ran to Xiao Jianting.

A little hope ignited in Xiao Jianting's heart.

Axuan and Qingyu are both Qin Junyu's secret guards. They have not been seen since the day Qin Junyu fell from the mountain. Now they suddenly appear, and they are in a disheveled state. Maybe they have clues.

"Ah Falcon, Qingyu!" Xiao Jianting stood up excitedly and grabbed their arms, his eyes sparkling, "Where have you been these days? Is there any news about Ah Yu and Miss Nian?"

His hands were shaking. He placed all his hopes on A Falcon and Qing Yu, and he was afraid that the answer he was waiting for would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Axuan and Qingyu exchanged guilty glances, and Qingyu lowered her eyes and dared not look at him.

Ah Falcon was much older and more experienced than Qingyu. He said in embarrassment, "Master Xiao, we didn't find His Highness."

"In the past five days, Qingyu and I have searched almost every corner of Jiuyun Mountain, but we haven't found anything..."

Xiao Jianting's face was gloomy and he took a few steps back with a dead heart, then sat back heavily in the armchair.

Qingyu added: "We followed His Highness and Miss Nian secretly when they went up the mountain, but we were too far away at the time and didn't have time to save them. We have been crossing mountains and rivers day and night for the past five days, hoping to make up for our negligence..."

Xiao Jianting suddenly realized a problem, and his face became more angry. He asked intently, "You two have been following Yu in secret. You also saw clearly how he and Miss Nian fell off the mountain?"

"And Miss Luo..." He murmured the name.

Luo Yuanxiang followed them up the mountain and disappeared with them. This was very strange.

Ah Falcon pressed his eyelids, "Yes, we saw it clearly. His Highness and Miss Nian's fall from the mountain was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose."

Xiao Jianting and County Magistrate Zhang stood up at once, their expressions were exactly the same, both were surprised and confused, "Who?"

Ah Falcon: "Miss Nian was pushed down the mountain by Miss Luo. Your Highness jumped down to save Miss Nian, and then the two of them disappeared."

Xiao Jianting was so angry that his face turned blue. He had heard about the deeds of that Miss Luo from Xiao Yunzheng. He knew that Luo Yuanxiang had deliberately lured the wolves to attack Nian Susu. He also knew that Luo Yuanxiang wanted to marry Qin Junyu as a concubine. Although she failed in the end, he did not expect her to be so bold and to have evil intentions again. This time she really wanted to kill Nian Susu.

County Magistrate Zhang staggered, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess did not fall off the mountain accidentally, but were murdered by someone. He felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it, and it was terrifying.

"What about Luo Yuanxiang? Did she run away after pushing Miss Nian down?"

Even if she escaped, where could she go as a penniless girl?

Ah Falcon cupped his hands, "This is exactly why we came back this time."

He glanced outside, his eyes dark and unclear, "Miss Luo did not escape. After His Highness jumped off the mountain, she was also pushed down."

"We were in a hurry to rescue His Highness and didn't look closely. We only saw a figure and Miss Luo's screams."

Xiao Jianting was dumbfounded.

This is not the most outrageous thing.

Ah Falcon added, "Today, we found Miss Luo's body at the bottom of the mountain."

After hearing these words, Xiao Jianting and County Magistrate Zhang both got goose bumps.

Without saying a word, the two followed Axuan to see the corpse.

Luo Yuanxiang was wrapped in sackcloth and carried back by them, and now she was placed in the front yard.

Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature is low, so the corpse does not rot so easily. Even after five days, there is still no odor.

Qingyu tore off the sackcloth, revealing the corpse inside.

Almost no part of Luo Yuanxiang's body was intact. Some were cut or smashed into a bloody mess. As long as the original appearance could be vaguely seen on the face, it was undoubtedly Luo Yuanxiang.

Magistrate Zhang couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned his face away.

Xiao Jianting waved his hand and Qingyu wrapped the body.

"Where did you find the body? Did you search the area carefully? Did you find any signs of life?"

Luo Yuanxiang fell in the same place as Qin Junyu and Nian Susu. The location where Luo Yuanxiang's body was located was most likely the place where the two of them landed.

A Shun and Qing Yu did not search the surrounding area. As soon as they saw Luo Yuanxiang's body, they hurried to bring the person back.

Xiao Jianting personally led more than 20 people into the mountains. Led by Axuan and Qingyu, they went all the way into the deep mountains and dense forests.

-

The paths are intricate and the lush leaves block out the sun; even on a sunny day, there is a gloomy feeling in the mountains as if a storm is about to come.

Xiao Jianting walked while using his sword to cut away the weeds that were taller than his knees, and looked around, trying to catch something.

It took them half an hour to reach the location of Luo Yuanxiang's body.

Xiao Jianting looked around. He had indeed never been to this area before. It was not certain that the search and rescue team could find such a secret place. No wonder no one discovered Luo Yuanxiang.

"Search nearby to see if there are any signs of human activity." Xiao Jianting raised his voice and gave the order.

The team of twenty people scattered and acted separately.

-

Nian Susu was awakened by the cold. He opened his eyes and found that the fire had gone out at some point. Qin Junyu was sleeping soundly, curled up against the stone wall with his arms clasped tightly.

She got up and looked outside the cave. The poison had almost disappeared by now, so she could go out to find food.

Qin Junyu's eyes had not fully recovered yet, so she had been the one going out to find food these days. Although he had sneaked out a few times, he came back with nothing, and Nian Susu had laughed at him several times for this.

Nian Susu gently relit the fire. Qin Junyu turned over, but his eyes were still covered with gauze, so she didn't know whether he was awake or not.

"What time is it?" Qin Junyu asked in a hoarse voice.

"This is the moment."

He propped himself up and used his hand to feel the sight in front of him, "I think I can see a little bit."

"Just apply the medicine for two more days and it will be completely healed. You will have to be blind for two more days." Nian Susu patted the ashes on his palms and stood up on his knees. "Okay, the fire is lit. I'm going to find something to eat. You just wait for me to come back."

Qin Junyu sat cross-legged and nodded.

This feeling was very strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.
