The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 408 I don’t know what he is hiding, but he will definitely not hide it from you

The cicadas chirped in the middle of the night, making people feel agitated for no reason.

Xu Rongrong sat under the window lattice, looking out the window with frowning eyebrows. The lanterns in the yard were hung up early. The weak light under the eaves fell on the blue brick floor, and a layer of vague water stains could be seen.

Wen Yao poured it there, originally to cool down the hot night, but Xu Rongrong didn't feel any coolness at all.

The dream in the afternoon made her unable to calm down for a long time, and a vague emotion always enveloped her.

She held her chin and leaned on the cushion behind her, trying to relax herself, but she could not get rid of the restless feeling.

"Is the Marquis back?" she asked. Wen Yao glanced at the sky and said, "There's been no movement next door all afternoon. Should I go over and take a look?"

This is the first time Xu Rongrong did not refuse.

Wen Yao left the room in a hurry, leaving only Xu Rongrong sitting there quietly.

A gust of wind blew by, and my restless heart gradually became clear:

After all, the past life is gone.

And she is living in this life now.

Not everyone has the opportunity to live a new life. Since she was given this opportunity, her life would not be in vain.

……

After Wen Yao went out for a cup of tea, he finally came back.

However, she is not alone.

Xu Rongrong looked outside through the window and could only vaguely see a tall figure. Her heart moved slightly and she stood up involuntarily.

The shadow stood far away under the steps, and a voice sounded: "I have seen Madam."

It's Mu Yi.

Xu Rongrong walked out slowly.

Wen Yao hurriedly stepped forward to report back: "When I passed by, there was no one next door. Yi Changshi had just returned home and said that the Marquis had something to tell the lady."

Xu Rongrong nodded: "Then come in and talk."

After saying that, she turned back to the house and sat down in the hall.

Mu Yi followed in, wearing clothes for going out on errands, with a layer of sweat hanging on his forehead.

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong did not ask in a hurry, but smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Yi Changshi, please sit down and answer."

Upon hearing her mistress' instructions, Wen Yao hurried to the teahouse next door and brought back a cup of tea. Mu Yi thanked her and took it.

The tea was warm and palatable, and he was indeed thirsty, so he drank the tea in a few sips without any hesitation.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry."

Xu Rongrong didn't take it seriously: "Yi Changshi has worked hard all day long. This little thing is not worth mentioning. I just don't know what the Marquis has to do. I want Master Changshi to come back and send a message."

Mu Yi said seriously:

"Today, my subordinates followed the Marquis to inspect several places. Until just now, they have not found Miss Vai's whereabouts. However, it was already getting late. The Marquis was worried that the lady would be impatient, so he ordered his subordinates to return home first."

"Also... Deputy Commander Chu in the palace has also sent news. He has thoroughly checked all the vacant palaces in the palace and found nothing unusual. And among the residences, with the exception of the palace where the Queen lives and His Majesty's study and bedroom, Deputy Commander Chu has also completed the inspection of other places." He spoke in detail, and Xu Rongrong frowned after listening.

Based on the current situation and her and Mu Rong's speculation, Miss Vai must be hidden in the palace, but... why is there no trace at all?

"Did the Marquis say anything else?" Xu Rongrong asked.

Mu Yi nodded: "The Marquis found out the list of the wives and wives who came to the palace to see the empress on the day Miss Wai disappeared. There were three wives who came to the palace to see the queen that day, and one of them was the wife of Anzhou Zhizhou. Liao, the other is Zheng Yu, the wife of Zheng Xiang, the deposed envoy of Longyou Road. "

"Does the Marquis think there is something wrong between these two people?"

"Madam, what you expected is good." Mu Yi said, "The deposed prince was demoted to Prince An and moved to Anzhou. The wife of the Anzhou magistrate, Liao, had never had anything to do with the palace, but this time she went to the palace to pay homage to the queen before the Chinese Valentine's Day Banquet. My dear, I can’t help but make people suspicious.”

"And that Zheng Yu, the wife of the Longyou Dao envoy who deposed Zhi, is even more interesting."

"Sir Chang Shi, please speak." Xu Rongrong said. She had always known very little about the fateful wife of the court, and this Zheng Yu family had not made any movement in her previous life, so she was not in her impression.

Mu Yi continued: "Although Zheng Yu and the empress were close friends, now that she is the wife of the deposed envoy, she should avoid suspicion. In previous years, she only spent half an hour sitting in the toilet for an audience. He left, but this time he stayed in the Queen's Palace for more than two hours! And he stayed for more than an hour after Liao left. This is the first weird thing. "

"Secondly, she suddenly sprained her legs and feet before the audience and was unable to walk. After staying in front of the palace gate for a period of time, she did not enter the palace until the queen's palace sent a sedan chair to welcome her."

When Mu Yi said this, Xu Rongrong gradually came to some understanding: "So you suspect that Miss Vai was discovered by Zheng Yu at that time and brought into the palace?"

"Madam, you are wise." Xu Rongrong frowned. This made sense. Since Zheng Yushi was the Empress's close friend and confidante, her relationship with the Empress must have been unusual, and it's no surprise that she knew some of the Empress's secrets. It's not impossible that Wai possessed extraordinary abilities as a "medicine man," and it's possible that Zheng Yushi had discovered him and brought him into the palace to serve the Empress.

Only the queen could quickly erase the traces of Vai in the capital after this incident, so that no one could find her traces.

"It turns out...it's hidden in the Queen's Palace." Xu Rongrong rubbed his eyebrows, "This is a bit difficult to handle."

Mu Yi stood aside and did not answer.

After all, everyone knows that no one can enter and search the Queen's palace unless there is His Majesty's order.

Unless the queen reveals herself...

Xu Rongrong was at a loss for a moment. Looking at the moon, which had already risen to the middle of the sky, she asked, "Your Lord hasn't returned yet. Have you found any solutions?" Mu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Lord hasn't mentioned this to me."

Xu Rongrong nodded after hearing this: "In that case, Yi Changshi should go down and rest early. If Lord Vali asks about today's search, there is no need to hide it from him, just tell him the truth."

As Vai's brother, he has the right to know this.

"Yes, I understand."

After saying that, Mu Yi stood up and walked out, but when he was about to step out of the door frame, he hesitated.

"Is there anything else about Yi Changshi?" Xu Rongrong asked

Mu Yi turned around and after a moment of hesitation, he said truthfully: "In the past few days, my subordinates have noticed that Mr. Hou's face is not very good, and today he has been holding on... I don't know what happened to Mr. Hou. But maybe if Madam asks, the Marquis will tell the truth."
