Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 429

"Prince, I will go with you." Chu Haojue stood up and said at this time.

"What are you going to do?" Qiao Anan was not unwilling to let Chu Haojue go, but she was really worried about Chu Haojue's physical condition.

"I can go and help with some ideas. Don't worry, I know my physical condition very well. Even for you and the child, I won't do anything rash." Chu Haojue assured Qiao Anan.

"But..." Qiao Anan was still a little worried.

"An An, our child will be born soon. If one day our child is also kidnapped, how anxious will we be? Don't worry, the first thing I will do is to protect myself." Chu Haojue quickly assured.

Qiao Anan was worried when she heard this, but she didn't try to stop him.

"Then you should be careful, Qingfeng, and take good care of your master." Qiao Anan carefully instructed Qingfeng who was standing beside her.

"Do you think those children can be found?" The Crown Princess said with some concern as she looked at the two people's departing backs.

"Yes, Princess. Are you going to wait here for the Crown Prince to come back, or go back to the palace first?" Qiao Anan asked carefully.

"Let's go back first. I'm a little worried about Kang'er in the palace." The Crown Princess became even more uneasy about this matter, especially after hearing that many children were lost.

For some reason, she always had a bad feeling.

"Bai Lu, you send the Crown Princess back to the palace." Qiao Anan thought for a moment and said to Bai Lu beside her.

"Second sister-in-law, that's not necessary. The prince has left someone for me. You are in poor health now, and you cannot be without a capable person by your side." The Crown Princess shook her head and said.

Given Qiao Anan's current situation, the Crown Princess doesn't dare to compete with her for her.

The emperor probably won't let her off easily.

Besides, the Crown Princess is very self-aware. After what happened with the Min family last time, the Emperor might not have a very good impression of her.

"I'm in the mansion, what could happen? Bai Lu will send you back and then come back. The prince is out now, and I must ensure that you return to the palace safely." Qiao Anan said firmly.

The Crown Princess couldn't stand Qiao Anan's insistence and had to let Bai Lu take her back to the palace.

After watching the Crown Princess leave, Qiao Anan sighed, thought about it, and went to Yao Shuilian's yard.

"Didn't they say the prince was coming? How come he still had time to come?" Yao Shuilian asked in confusion as she watched her daughter coming.

"The prince had something to do and went out with His Highness. The Crown Princess just left." Qiao Anan looked at her younger brother in Yao Shuilian's arms and teased him.

"Why did you let His Highness go as well?" Yao Shuilian asked with some confusion.

After all, Chu Haojue looked so weak that it was not advisable for him to go out too often.

"Qingfeng is following. His Highness said that he knows what's going on." Qiao Anan said with a sigh.

"Mom, have you heard about the disappearance of Hu Zi, the grandson of the kitchen manager Liu?" Qiao Anan asked again.

"That's right. A child that big was lost just like that." Yao Shuilian sighed as she said this.

"When did it happen? If I remember correctly, Hu Zi should have been seven years old, right?" Qiao Anan thought for a while and asked.

Qiao Anan remembered that she had given candy to that child.

It has a chubby and tiger-like appearance, but is quite cute.

"Just two days ago, Butler Hu asked someone to go out and look for it. Alas..." At this point, Yao Shuilian sighed again.

"This matter is really strange. I don't know what those people are doing with such a young child?" Qiao Anan said with a frown.

"Who would be so cruel as to target children? What can such a young child do?" Yao Shuilian hugged the child tightly in her arms.

"Sometimes, arresting such young children doesn't necessarily mean you want them to do anything." Qiao Anan said after thinking for a while.

At least I don't want them to do anything now, but that may not be the case in the future.

But they all caught such small ones, and it would be impossible to do so without any thought.

"So what exactly do they want to do? Manager Liu and his son and daughter-in-law have gone out to look for the child these two days. Manager Hu has also sent more than ten people out to look for him together." Yao Shuilian said with a sigh.

"Today, the Qian family said that the kid from the Qian family is also missing." Qiao Anan was talking about another thing.

Qiao Anan looked at Qiao Yulong in Yao Shuilian's arms and thought, fortunately this kid is still young and won't run around. Otherwise, if he gets lost, the whole family will be heartbroken.

"That child likes to go out and play on weekdays. Could he have gone out by himself?" Yao Shuilian thought that she sometimes saw Qian Yuanbao walking on the street with his servants, so she asked.

"That shouldn't be the case. I guess his family must have looked for him, so they are in a hurry to find the Fourth Prince and Qian Duoduo." Qiao Anan shook her head, thinking to herself that it is also possible that Qian Yuanbao sneaked out to play without telling his family.

However, Qiao Anan felt that the more likely possibility was that Qian Yuanbao went out to play, met the human trafficker, and abducted the person.

Thinking of this, Qiao Anan sighed again. She originally thought that she didn't have to worry about the problem of human traffickers these days. However, Qiao Anan realized that the problem of human traffickers is everywhere.

The Crown Prince and Chu Haojue arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor's office. Seeing the Crown Prince coming, the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Qu Yongxiu quickly bowed to him and said, "Your humble servant pays respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Because Chu Haojue was really thin now, Qu Yongxiu didn't realize that the person following him was Chu Haojue.

Qingfeng carefully supported Chu Haojue from the side.

Fortunately, Chu Haojue didn't care about Qu Yongxiu's rudeness.

"Sir Qu, I heard that many children have gone missing in the capital recently?" the prince asked with a frown.

"Your Highness, a lot of young children have indeed gone missing in the capital recently. I have already taken people to look for them, but there has been no progress at all." Qu Yongxiu was also very troubled at this time.

So many children were lost, but he, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, didn't even have any news.

"Where are you looking for people?" Chu Haojue asked with a frown.

"Who are you?" Qu Yongxiu said impatiently. After that, he realized that the frail man was actually Chu Haojue.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was blind and didn't recognize you. Honestly, how come you have lost so much weight?" Qu Yongxiu said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's not your fault, Lord Qu. Tell me quickly, where did you ask people to look for those people?" Chu Haojue coughed lightly and asked quickly.

"Your Highness, I sent people to the riverside, the nearby reservoir, the foot of the mountain, and the nearby streets and alleys, including the places where the children usually like to go. We have searched everywhere, but there is no trace of the children." Qu Yongxiu said quickly.

"Have you looked in the nearby mountains, dilapidated houses, and ruined temples?" Chu Haojue asked quickly.
