When Mo Lin turned the corner, he saw Qiao Shinian, whose body was covered in blood and one hand was covered in blood, staggering forward.

Looking at Qiao Shinian, who was disheveled and staggering, Mo Lin seemed to understand something.

"You, who are you? Did you ask those eunuchs to tie me up?" Qiao Shinian pointed the hairpin at Mo Lin and stepped back, his deer-like eyes filled with fear and despair. "Don't come over, or I will kill you, seriously, don't disbelieve it."

Mo Lin felt that the situation was a bit tricky. It seemed like he had run into bad luck today. First, he was summoned by the emperor and asked about his marriage. The emperor kept telling him to marry a princess from the royal family, and then he met Princess Yu'an.

Princess Yu'an mocked him and said that he was a toad wanting to eat swan flesh and was dreaming!

He was so angry that he wondered whether he married a princess or not, what did it have to do with Princess Yu'an? !

Even if he wanted to marry any other princess, he would never marry Princess Yu'an!

Then, of course, he spoke a few words, and his tone frightened the cat in Princess Yu'an's arms. The cat ran away, and if he couldn't find it, he couldn't leave the palace.

After searching for half an hour, I finally saw the ugly yellow cat. I followed the ugly cat all the way here, climbing over eaves and walls. This is near the cold palace!

After seeing Qiao Shinian, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He turned around and found that the ugly cat that was there just now was gone again!

Mo Lin was a little overwhelmed. He was the legitimate son of General Xuanwu and had never suffered such bullying when he was at the frontier. Now when he returned to the capital, a princess called him a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!

How many women want to marry him? How come he is a toad?

When he walked on the street, women would frequently look back at him, and countless of them threw themselves at him! How could he be a toad wanting to eat swan meat?

"First, you can't kill me. Second, I didn't ask the eunuchs to tie you up, so don't take it for granted." Mo Lin rolled his eyes, then paused as he thought of something and was about to turn around and leave, "Wait, you are the maidservant next to that proton!"

Mo Lin looked at Qiao Shinian and stepped forward with a smile, "Do you need help? My name is Mo Lin, and I'm the son of General Xuanwu."

"General Xuanwu? He's a soldier." The hairpin in Qiao Shinian's hand drooped slightly, then raised it again, "No, this is not my world, don't come over here!"

"Uh..., to be honest, do you need help?" Mo Lin stepped forward, not afraid of Qiao Shinian's threatening actions at all.

"He can't run far. Look for him quickly. Those gentlemen are waiting for him!"

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for Qiao Shinian to hear clearly.

Qiao Shinian shuddered slightly, looked at the person in front of him, and asked, "Did you really not ask them to kidnap me?"

"It's really not me. I have no shortage of women, and I'm not that mean." Mo Lin shrugged and was about to leave.

Qiao Shinian reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Can you take me to hide? When Wen Jiu comes, we will repay you later."

Mo Lin was a little speechless and wanted to laugh. Why did he need to hide?

However, looking at Qiao Shinian's appearance, he reasonably guessed that Qiao Shinian was using the self-torture and beauty trap on him.

"Please, please help me, okay?" Qiao Shinian became more and more panicked as she heard the voice approaching. Her escape just now was just a fluke. Now that she was caught, how could she escape?

Can't get caught! Absolutely not!

"Okay, remember to repay me, I will take you to hide." Mo Lin decided not to look for the cat. Having a beauty in his arms is better than looking for that ugly cat.

As he spoke, he picked up Qiao Shinian and ran quickly. He turned a few corners and entered the cramped room and sat on the ground with Qiao Shinian.

"This room seems to be haunted!" Looking at the curled-up Qiao Shinian, Mo Lin decided to fight this frightened woman.

Qiao Shinian moved closer to Mo Lin and said softly, "I feel a little weak and can't use my strength anymore."

"Are you scared already?" Mo Lin naturally embraced Qiao Shinian as she threw herself into his arms. He no longer had any intention of teasing her and coaxed her softly, "It's okay. I'm here to protect you. I have a lot of yang and evil energy in me. Any ghost will run away when they see me."

Qiao Shinian leaned in Mo Lin's arms, his nerves tense, but he could feel his body gradually going limp.

"I live in a socialist country and believe in science. I don't believe there are ghosts in the world. I just inhaled a lot of drugs. It may be that modern people have strong drug resistance, so I can feel the effect of the drugs now." Qiao Shinian almost collapsed on Mo Lin.

Mo Lin smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Qiao Shinian and couldn't help but feel amused at his own behavior. What was he doing?

The bed-warming maid was playing hide-and-seek with a proton, and it was such an ambiguous hide-and-seek. He looked down and saw Qiao Shinian's chest was full of ravines.

He pulled Qiao Shinian's clothes and asked, "Can your prince find you?"

"Yes, Wen Jiu is the smartest kid I have ever met." Qiao Shinian just felt dizzy and wanted to sleep, but couldn't.

"Wen Jiu? Look at how bold you are, it seems that the rumors are true, your prince dotes on you very much." Mo Lin said as he turned his head to look at the person who was almost lying in his arms, and suddenly he saw that Qiao Shinian's left sleeve was already stained with blood, and the blood was still sliding along the floor.

"Your hand?" Mo Lin raised his hand to check Qiao Shinian's left hand, and saw three bloody holes on her left hand with blood oozing out.

He quickly tore off a piece of Qiao Shinian's sleeve and bandaged her to stop the blood from flowing out.

"What's wrong with my hand?" Qiao Shinian was puzzled. He wanted to move his head, but found that he had no strength at all.

Mo Lin looked at Qiao Shinian again, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Amazing, you are so hard on yourself."

"Don't make any noise, don't get discovered." Qiao Shinian wanted to raise his hand, and it took him a lot of effort to raise his hand slightly, but the next moment his hand dropped down because of weakness.

"I want to wait for Wen Jiu to find me. I want to wait for him. I will only be safe when he comes." Qiao Shinian tried hard to sit up, but failed.

·

"Haven't you found it yet?!" Wen Jiu stared fiercely at Chunxue who had returned in front of him, the murderous intent in his eyes almost bursting out.

Chunxue shook her head and asked carefully, "Isn't it found? Could Miss Qiao have left the palace?"

"Heh! Leaving the palace? Not even eating, not even saying hello? Have you lost your mind, or do you think I should just do as you wish and not look for her?!"

Chunxue knelt down quickly, "Your Highness, I didn't mean that. I just couldn't find Miss Qiao, so I made this guess!"

Wu Han sat next to Wen Jiu with a serious look on his face. The two people beside him also went out to look for Qiao Shinian, but after an hour, there was still no news.

"Oh, you're still angry!" Lan Sheng, wearing a light blue robe and holding a fan, walked into the palace and looked at Wen Jiu with a smile, "Could it be that your sister ran away from home because of your bad temper?"

"Get lost!" Wen Jiu stood up and stared at Lan Sheng with gritted teeth, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard that your favorite maid is missing. I came to comfort you and tell you some news I heard." Lan Sheng was not affected by Wen Jiu's emotions at all. He sat down and poured himself a glass of water, then glanced at Chunxue who was kneeling on the ground.

"I heard that a few young masters from aristocratic families offered two thousand taels of silver to buy Qiao Shinian, and some people heard the news and reached an agreement with them, which led to this silent disappearance.

Plus, your residence is really remote, so it's easy to attack! Once this powerful palace maid is separated from her, we'll have the opportunity to attack." Lan Sheng pointed at Chunxue and said calmly.

Wen Jiu frowned, feeling very powerless at this moment. If only he had someone useful at hand, it would be great. If only he could take Qiao Shinian with him to the academy.

"I also heard that the patrolling imperial guards found two dead eunuchs near the cold palace. I wonder if this has anything to do with your weak sister. I heard that she died tragically."

Lan Sheng put down his teacup and stood up, waving his red folding fan. "Ah, I have an appointment with the fifteenth prince to go horse racing this afternoon, so I won't talk to you any more."
