Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1855

Yu Sujun denied it while looking at the face hidden in the painting. Thinking about what happened last night, even the tips of her ears turned red.

But the niece answered her seriously, "Like, I can tell at a glance." Her eyes blossomed with a smile, "Aunt's writing style is engraved in her bones, does my uncle know?"

Yu Sujun was teased by her niece and ran away, shouting, "No, I was just drawing casually."

Bei Hui looked at Yu Sujun's back and couldn't help laughing, "Madam, I'm afraid you won't see the first lady for a long time."

Shi Anxia was thinking that the thirty-third face was clearly a painting of her mother, Tang Chujun.

With the princess in charge, the whole Lingzhou's dispatch went very smoothly. Officials who usually shirked their responsibilities had to pull their hair out and no longer dared to make excuses.

Every day, officials came to report the disaster situation in various cities to Qiu Zhiyan. After compiling and summarizing the information, he discussed the dispatch plan with the prefect Wu Da, and then submitted it to the princess for review and finally distributed it for execution.

At this critical moment, a shocking news suddenly came - Hongque was missing again.

According to Mu Sang, she went out with her sister Hong Que in the early morning to buy candies and fruits from Zhou Ji. However, when they went out, there were two sisters, but when they returned, she was the only one left.

Mu Sang was trembling as she stumbled back to report the news. The nightmare from her childhood came again. This was the second time her sister disappeared right before her eyes.

"There were a lot of people lining up..." Mu Sang's teeth chattered, his voice fragmented. "I was afraid my sister would get tired, so I asked her to sit and wait in the Zhouji lobby. Later, she came out and told me she wanted to go next door to buy some steamed cheese to cheer up Miss Xue'er."

She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white. "I saw that there weren't many people over there, so... I agreed... She said she would come back to see me after buying it... But after I bought all the candies and fruits, she didn't come back."

Mu Sang collapsed, covering her face with her hands. Hot tears oozed from between her fingers and fell to the ground. "I went looking for her, but I couldn't find her no matter how hard I looked... I even wondered if she had come back first. But... no, no one has seen my sister..."

She hated herself for being so incompetent that she couldn't even protect her dearest sister. It happened once, and twice.

When Shi Anxia heard this, a ball of anger suddenly rose in his chest, "Why didn't you bring guards with you when you went out?"

Mu Sang was speechless.

Why bring protection when buying sweets and fruits? It wasn't that she went out without protection today. She and her sister had gone out to buy things before, and nothing had ever happened.

She was speechless and secretly regretted it. She should have brought a guard with her. No, she shouldn't have gone out at all.

I'm scared! Really scared. I won't dare go out again.

Shi Anxia realized that her tone might be rubbing salt into Mu Sang's heart. This girl was already living on thin ice, trembling with fear.

But at this moment, she had no intention of comforting anyone.

She forced herself to calm down. She couldn't panic at this moment. If she panicked, she might miss the best opportunity to find the red magpie.

"Mu Sang," Shi Anxia said in a steady voice, gently pressing down on the other's trembling shoulders with both hands, "Tell me the whole story from beginning to end. Don't leave out any details - are there any special people around? What unusual things happened?"

Mu Sang held back her tears and recounted the incident three times.

Every time I recall, new details emerge: an old man with gray hair and beard arrogantly cut in line to buy candies and fruits, causing a commotion in the crowd; there was a woman wearing a veil hat who walked up to praise the two sisters for being "more beautiful than the beauties in the paintings."

Shi Anxia listened attentively, and immediately issued three orders in a swift and decisive manner.

First, give Hong Que's clothes to Dabai to smell, and immediately have someone take Dabai to track Hong Que's scent.
