It was almost time for dinner and Yun Shang hadn't come out yet, which made him feel very strange.
He thought to himself, didn't he say he was going to Yipinxian to check the accounts and have a meal there? Is it time to set off now?
So he began to wander around, and when the customers in the shop were not paying attention, he quietly slipped into the corridor.
He searched the inner room carefully, but still could not find Yun Shang. He couldn't help thinking, this is impossible, the Treasure Pavilion is his territory, how could someone break in without him knowing anything?
He grabbed a passing servant and asked anxiously, "Where is your prince's wife?"
The servant shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I haven't seen it!"
Shangguan Haoxuan completely lost his patience and ran to the shopkeeper's room. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Madam, where is the Crown Prince's Consort?"
The proprietress was stunned at first, then hurriedly said, "Second Young Master, the Crown Princess has already checked the bill!"
"A long time ago?" Shangguan Haoxuan's expression suddenly changed, "But why didn't I see her come out?"
The proprietress did not dare to hesitate for a moment and said quickly, "I will immediately ask someone to look for her and see if she is in the shop."
Shangguan Haoxuan nodded with a gloomy face, folded his hands over his chest, full of anger and worry.
He actually lost the person right under his nose. What should he do?
The scale of Zhenyao Pavilion is not large. Apart from the magnificent three-story attic as the facade, there is only a small courtyard inside the corridor, with two side rooms on each side of the east and west, plus an ear room.
The proprietress quickly ordered her men to search carefully, however, after a busy period, Yunchang was still nowhere to be found.
When Shangguan Haoxuan received the news that the person had not been found yet, his face became increasingly ugly, his worry was evident in his words, and he felt extremely regretful. He thought that he should have stayed by Yun Shang's side closely.
At this moment, Shangguan Haoxuan launched a flare without hesitation, which rose into the sky and burst into dazzling light.
He just stood there in the middle of the busy street, anxiously waiting for his men to come.
Soon, Yuechu hurried to him and asked with concern, "Master, what happened?"
Shangguan Haoxuan frowned and said sternly, "The Crown Prince's Consort is missing. Go check Ning Xue and Xie Mei to see if they are the ones behind this!"
Yuechu knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay for even a moment, so he responded, "Yes, sir!"
Then he left hurriedly like the wind. After all, the Crown Prince's wife was missing, which was no small matter.
Then, another concubine, Haitang, hurried over, "Master?"
Shangguan Haoxuan said anxiously, "Haitang, the Crown Prince's Consort is missing. Can you go and see if there is anything wrong with Concubine Ning?"
Haitang nodded quickly, turned around and rushed in the direction of Concubine Ning.
At this moment, Liu Mei'er also ran over, sweating profusely, and shouted breathlessly, "Second Young Master?"
Shangguan Haoxuan said anxiously: "Your young lady is missing, go and tell the prince!"
When Liu Meir heard the news, she was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "The young lady is missing!"
Then he hurriedly said, "The prince has gone to Zifeng Mountain. What should we do?"
Shangguan Haoxuan grumbled with dissatisfaction: "What a bad time to pick. Why did you choose to find him at this critical moment? Sigh!"
As he was speaking, He Zhongqiu arrived in time.
Shangguan Haoxuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly instructed He Zhongqiu: "You came at the right time, go to Zifeng Temple to find the prince, tell him that his wife is missing, and ask him to come back quickly!"
He Zhongqiu didn't say much, just nodded solemnly and left quickly.
Afterwards, Liu Meier asked doubtfully, "Second Young Master, aren't there two secret guards following the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Shangguan Haoxuan slapped his head suddenly, pointed at Liu Meir, and said, "You reminded me, but I forgot about it in my haste. Let's first check if there are any people fainted or dead nearby, or if there are any secret signals they left behind."
Liu Meir glared at Shangguan Haoxuan speechlessly, and then the two of them began to search separately.
Not long after, they found the mark at the back door. Following the mark, they left the city and finally found an ox cart that was completely covered by leaves.
Shangguan Haoxuan was annoyed and complained, "Damn it! At least give a clear signal! How can people find them with such vague signs? Who are those two secret guards? Why are they so unreliable?"
Liu Meir rolled her eyes at him and said, "The ones chosen by the prince must be outstanding." Her eyes seemed to say that they must be much more reliable than Shangguan Haoxuan.
Facing Liu Meir's contemptuous gaze, Shangguan Haoxuan felt very unhappy. He pretended to be a gentleman and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Then please, Miss Liu, continue tracking."
Liu Meir snorted coldly and searched around carefully again. However, she found that there was really no obvious trace to be found here. The road was connected in all directions. Since the other party had abandoned the ox cart, they must have switched to riding horses, and the two secret guards must have used their lightness skills to follow them.
Even if they left marks secretly, who could know how long the interval was and in which direction? Or maybe they didn't leave any marks at all.
Liu Meir spread her hands helplessly and said, "I'll go find the Young Master!" She knew in her heart that such a blind search would be fruitless, but what was certain was that the two secret guards would definitely get in touch with the Young Master.
Shangguan Haoxuan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!"
Not long after, a concubine came hurriedly.
Shangguan Haoxuan pointed at the ox cart and said loudly: "Pull this ox cart back to the city and kill the ox so that we can have it with wine tonight!"
The concubine looked down at the beautiful, colorful clothes she was wearing, and with a slight smile on her lips, she responded, "Master, in my opinion, it is more appropriate for you to do the job of pulling the ox cart."
Hearing this, Shangguan Haoxuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he was once again furious.
He muttered to himself, and jumped onto the ox cart in anger, muttering: "Humph! Even this ox cart dares to bully me!"
Seeing this, the concubine smiled and sat behind the ox cart, and comforted Shangguan Haoxuan softly, "Master, don't worry! If the Crown Prince's Concubine really encountered something unexpected, the secret guards would definitely send a signal. Since there is no signal now, it means that the Crown Prince's Concubine is fine. In my opinion, they probably want to track her to the enemy's base camp before making any plans."
Shangguan Haoxuan frowned and asked worriedly, "Even if we get to the base camp, can we guarantee absolute safety and foolproofness?"
The concubine gently patted Shangguan Haoxuan on the shoulder and continued, "Master, think about it, by then we will have more people and more power, while they will only have two people."
But even so, Shangguan Haoxuan was still somewhat worried, and the worry on his face did not diminish at all.
