After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

They weren't afraid of death, but they didn't want to die in such a pathetic way. Why would they sacrifice so many lives just to find a woman?

At this time, there was a guard who clenched his teeth, with veins bulging on his forehead, as if he had made some difficult decision.

He raised his head, looked directly at Ouyang Jing, and said in a hoarse but firm voice: "Your Majesty! The Crown Princess... I'm afraid the Crown Princess has..."

"Already what?!" Ouyang Jing stood up suddenly, grabbed the guard's collar, and lifted him up. His eyes were red, like a beast ready to devour. "Say it again!"

The guard's Adam's apple rolled as he uttered a few words with difficulty, "The Crown Princess... I'm afraid she's already... perished in the beast's belly, her remains completely undiscovered... Even if we searched diligently, we wouldn't be able to find her. But the Crown Princess' spirit in heaven would surely not wish the Emperor to torture himself like this. Please forgive us for our incompetence."

In the imperial study, it suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

All the guards held their breath and watched the scene in horror, as if time had stopped.

"Ha...hahahaha..." Ouyang Jing suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter growing louder and sharper, finally bordering on madness. "What a beast to end up in your belly! What a corpse to leave no trace! You couldn't find anyone, so you made up such a lie to deceive me?!"

He threw the guard to the ground like discarding a tattered piece of clothing, "Since you are incompetent, what's the point of keeping you around?!"

The guard's pupils shrank slightly and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He knew that he was finished.

"Someone!" Ouyang Jing's voice was icy cold. "Drag him away and beat him to death!"

Two guards immediately stepped forward, lifted up the guard who was speaking, and dragged him out.

The guard struggled, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness, but he was powerless to resist.

The leading guard, a slender, middle-aged man with a stern face, immediately knelt down upon seeing this, kowtowed, and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, calm down! He is ignorant and talking nonsense! Please have mercy on him and spare his life! We will do our utmost to continue searching for the Crown Princess, and we will definitely find her!"

"You have three days," Ouyang Jing's cold gaze fell on the leading guard, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, "If you can't find him, you will be guilty as well as him!"

The leading guard was named Leng Feng. He had followed Ouyang Jing for many years and had experienced life and death together.

At this moment, he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and cold sweat soaked his back.

He kowtowed hurriedly, repeatedly replying, "Yes! Yes! I will do my best!"

After saying this, he pulled up the young guard who was lying on the ground, and crawled out of the imperial study.

Only when they were far away from the austere palace did the young guard dare to breathe a sigh of relief. He shook off Leng Feng's hand and said angrily, "Boss, he is clearly a tyrant! He killed so many brothers for a woman. He is not worth our lives at all!"

Leng Feng's face changed, he covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered: "Shut up! Are you trying to kill yourself?! If this gets out, both you and I will lose our heads!"

He looked around carefully again, and after confirming that there was no one there, he let out a deep breath and then said in a low voice, "Okay, you take a group of people to look for them first, and I'll think of a solution."

The young guard, named Li Er, muttered to himself, "Where can I find him? I've been looking for him for three years now, and he's nowhere to be found, alive or dead. He must have been reincarnated long ago and must be a three-year-old child now!"

Li Er just said this casually and didn't take it seriously, but who would have thought that this casual remark would be like a bolt of enlightenment, instantly waking up Leng Feng who was originally lost in thought.

Leng Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "Your words have reminded me! So, take some silver and quickly go outside the city to find a famous half-immortal. Give him more silver and let him use his so-called 'ability' to 'calculate' that the Crown Princess has been reincarnated. Then, follow his guidance and find a little girl around three years old..."

Li Er was stunned when he heard this, his face full of disbelief. He stared at Leng Feng blankly, as if he were looking at a madman. He couldn't help scratching his head and asked doubtfully, "Is this... really possible? The emperor is not a fool. If he finds out about this, we will be in trouble..."

Leng Feng slapped Li Er on the back of the head: "What are you thinking? If the emperor is so easy to fool, how can we still be alive? This is a bad idea! If we can't find him within three days, we can use this method to delay time!"

Li Er suddenly realized what was going on and quickly replied "Yes". He took the silver and ran out.

As night fell, inside Yilan Palace, Xie Mishuang finished bathing and changing her clothes. She was wearing a lavender palace dress, which made her skin look whiter than snow and her eyebrows and eyes look like a painting.

But in those clear eyes, there was a barely perceptible coldness.

Time passed by little by little, and the drum outside the palace had been beaten several times, but there was still no oral order from the emperor to summon him.

Xie Mishuang frowned slightly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

It seems that he can be with anyone now?

"Your Majesty, the sedan chair has arrived." The soft voice of a palace maid came from outside the palace.

Xie Mishuang stood up and walked to the door, and sure enough, he saw a gorgeously decorated sedan chair parked outside the hall, with a young eunuch in green clothes bowing and waiting.

"Empress Shufei, please get into the sedan chair." The shrill voice of the little eunuch sounded.

Qinghe and Aya hurried forward, wanting to get into the sedan chair with Xie Mishuang, but were stopped by the young eunuch.

"The emperor only summoned the Concubine Shu to see him." The young eunuch said calmly.

Xie Mishuang glanced at Qinghe and Aya, and whispered, "Stay put, don't act rashly."

After saying that, she stepped onto the sedan chair.

Soon, the sedan stopped.

Xie Mishuang got off the sedan chair and looked up. On the golden plaque of the bedroom were written three big characters "Si Shuang Hall".

Thinking of Shuang? Are you missing her?

A bitter feeling rose in Xie Mishuang's heart. This man was really good at acting.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart, and walked into the bedroom.

However, before she stepped into the palace, she was startled by a loud shout.

"Get out! If you dare take another step, I will destroy you!"

The voice was icy cold, like a demon from hell, which made Xie Mishuang shiver.

She quickly retracted the half foot she had just stepped in, feeling horrified.

When did he become so scary?

Xie Mishuang stood outside the hall, not daring to move.

Inside the bedroom, the lights were on, but it was silent, like a dormant beast, ready to devour anyone at any time.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xie Mishuang's legs began to feel numb, but she still didn't dare to move a step.

The lights in the bedroom never dimmed.
