Chapter 678 Where is the Fifth Miss?

"There's no way to prove it." Ye Hongzhuang told the truth, "Unless we wait until the child is born and do a blood test to identify our parentage, but I can't wait that long. I want to leave Lin'an immediately and flee far away. So if you don't believe it, then forget about this deal. I've died once anyway, and there's nothing to be afraid of." She got up from the ground. Half a year of beatings by Quan Qingyin had already made her develop a physical fear of that man, but now as long as she thought of the opportunity to flee far away, she felt that the fear was not so serious. As long as she was determined, she could still overcome it.

As for Baochan's worries, she thought for a moment and continued, "After you find that woman, you can ask her in person and ask her to tell you about what happened between her and Quan Qinglu. In addition, they had an affair, and there must be someone else who knows about it. You can ask the people who used to be with Quan Qinglu and you will definitely find out. This is all I can say, and I don't know anything more."

Baochan wanted to say something, but Li Xiaohan waved her hand and said, "Don't ask, it should be true. But Ye Hongzhuang, I have something to ask you. Since you already know that there are two Sixth Princes, what else do you know?"

Ye Hongzhuang was stunned. "What else do you know? Are you trying to ask about Quan Qinglu's whereabouts? I don't know. I only know that this person must have taken him somewhere. I asked him before, but he didn't tell me."

Li Xiaohan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't want to ask about Quan Qinglu's whereabouts. She just wanted to find out if Ye Hongzhuang knew how the two children came from and who their biological father was. It seemed that she didn't know, so she was relieved.

"Go and have a rest! I will ask Baochan to find a way to send you out of the palace, and I will also give you enough silver. Take the silver and get lost, and never come back to Kyoto again. If I find out that you have returned to Lin'an again, I will not let you go."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get out of here. Even if you beg me, I won't come back!" Ye Hongzhuang went to the side hall and lay down to sleep without any hesitation. Baochan went over to help her spread the quilt, and when she came out, she whispered to Li Xiaohan: "Do you really believe her?"

Li Xiaohan's eyes gradually turned colder. After a long while, he uttered only one word - "Kill!"

Baochan understood that it was impossible to give her money to run away. The best way was to kill her. Not only would it solve the problem for herself, but also if Ye Wenyan investigated in the future, it would not be their fault for letting Ye Hongzhuang go.

Within the East Six Palaces, Quan Qingcheng, holding an umbrella, and taking Zhuier, had already searched five palaces, but there was no sign of Ye Chulian.

Zhuier whispered to him, "Did we not search carefully enough? Or did we miss some details? We can't just search, we have to carefully observe the palace people, including the guards. We have to pay attention to them. The fifth lady couldn't have run away and hidden somewhere by herself. The only possibility is that she was kidnapped. Since she was kidnapped, we have to focus on observing her."

Quan Qingcheng nodded, "You are right, I thought so too, so I have been paying close attention along the way, but unfortunately I didn't find any suspicious people. Wu Fei has gone to Chaofeng Gate and hasn't come back yet, I will ask him when he comes back if he has seen Chu Lian in the crowd leaving the palace. Hey, Zhuier, don't stand so far away from me, we can't talk too loudly, or someone might hear us."

Zhuier rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are the only one who has too many things to do. I think this distance is just right." She said so, but she still moved closer to Quan Qingcheng. But Quan Qingcheng was still not satisfied and directly pulled her.

Zhuier lost his balance and fell directly onto him. He laughed, "That's right. This fits our character at this moment."

"Have you learned the word 'personality' and started using it indiscriminately? What kind of personality do I have with you? Don't take advantage of me."

"My current character setting is that I am pursuing you, so I am taking you around the palace. The palace people think this is normal. But if we have no relationship, then it is not normal to take you around like this. There must be a reason for the emperor to be with a maid. If I don't establish this character setting, do you want me to say that we are here together to find the fifth young lady of the Ye family?"

Zhuier snorted and said nothing more. The two of them had already walked to a small garden with mountains, water and a small bridge. The more they looked at it, the more it looked like a good place to kill and rob. Quan Qingcheng pulled Zhuier into the garden.

There was a palace servant cleaning the pond here. When he saw Quan Qingcheng coming, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and then asked, "Why is the emperor here?" Then he looked back and was a little puzzled when he saw that Wu Fei was not following him.

Quan Qingcheng stared at him for a while, then said, "I'm just turning around, this is Miss Zhuier."

The palace maid understood and immediately kowtowed to Zhuier, saying earnestly, "Greetings, Miss Zhuier."

Zhuier felt a little embarrassed by the greeting, and glared at Quan Qingcheng fiercely. This glare was seen as flirting by the palace servants, so she didn't wait for Quan Qingcheng to say anything else and hid away on her own initiative.

After a while, he was heard saying to a passing eunuch from afar: "Hurry up and hide aside. Move quickly and stop both ends. Don't let anyone pass. The emperor is talking to Miss Zhuier in the garden. We have to be smart."

Zhuier's heart sank, but he didn't have time to say anything more. When he saw that there was no one around, he immediately started looking.

At the other side of the West Six Palaces, Ye Qingtong and Feng Zhaolian were running in front and chasing behind respectively. They were playing and fighting so much that they didn’t even realize they were holding an umbrella, and their clothes got wet in a short while.

Queen Mother Yu received a message from Lian Shi, asking her to cooperate with the two girls, so she temporarily acted as a caretaker and brought people to follow the two people. But they only followed from a distance. In her words, "We just need to ensure the safety of Princess Guiyue and Miss Ye Er, and don't get too close to avoid spoiling their fun." After saying that, she did not forget to sigh again, "Princess Guiyue has a really good temper. If the two countries can really get married, it would be a very good thing.

Hey! Don't just stand there and watch. Go back and get two cloaks. It's cold at night. Don't let them get cold." Ye Qingtong and Feng Zhaolian played and played around in the West Six Palaces. They even went into the bedrooms where the concubines used to live. Unfortunately, they didn't see Ye Chulian.

Not only did they not gain anything, Wu Fei did not see Ye Chulian in the crowd leaving the palace, and the Third and Fourth Princes did not find Ye Chulian either. The Fifth Miss of the Ye Family seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.

Zhuier even released the bird that could tell the way without anyone knowing, trying to find someone, but the bird said she was lost and she couldn't find anyone.

At half past ten o'clock, except for Ye Feizhou, everyone else returned to Chengguang Hall to exchange information, but in the end, there was no news...
