Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The Seventh Prince listened to Li Zhi's brief account of the situation in the front hall. He remembered that Zhao Yicheng and Ding Xiaoshan had mentioned the suspect in Mr. Zhang's murder. Could it be that they had seen the suspect again and were captured by the suspect?

"Bring me the layout map of the capital."

The Seventh Prince looked at the layout map of the capital and asked Li Zhi to disperse and conduct a carpet search centered on the alley where the servant was found.

Ye Youlan woke up and asked Prince Dingxiang if he had gone out today.

"The prince is in the front hall."

"In the front hall. Are there any guests coming to the mansion?"

Ding Xiang shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then I'll go take a look."

Ding Xiang stopped her: "Princess, don't go over there. The prince wants you to have a good rest."

Ye Youlan looked at Ding Xiang and asked, "What are you hiding from me?"

"Two children are missing, and the prince is helping to find them."

Ye Youlan was very surprised: "Did something happen to Jinbao?"

"No."

Ye Youlan finally felt relieved: "Who is that?"

"They are Zhao Yicheng and Ding Xiaoshan who came to visit last time."

When she heard about the two children, Ye Youlan had a bad feeling because she inexplicably thought of the suspect.

Dingxiang couldn't stop Ye Youlan, so she had to accompany her.

There were many people standing in the front hall, including Li Chuang, an official from Jingzhao Prefecture, the Seventh Prince, and some guards from the palace.

When the Seventh Prince saw Ye Youlan coming out, he glared at Dingxiang, who was so scared that she quickly hid behind Ye Youlan.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the situation."

Li Chuang repeated the story and added, "The child should still be in the city. Yesterday, before curfew at the city gates, the guards didn't see any suspicious people leaving the city."

Ye Youlan asked, "Is there a possibility that there is a secret passage that can lead directly out of the city?"

A word of advice awakened the dreamer, but how could this secret passage be found?

The Seventh Prince said, "I will have someone go to Jinghua Academy to investigate."

Li Chuang was puzzled as to why he went to Jinghua Academy?

"Every time Ren Qishan entered the city, did you see him walk through the city gate? Therefore, I speculate that Jinghua Academy must have a secret passage leading to the city."

Li Chuang thought about it and it seemed to be the case.

So the troops split into two groups, the guards of the palace went to Jinghua Academy outside the city, and Li Chuang led his men to continue searching in the city.

After everyone left, Ye Youlan took the map of the capital's defenses and looked at it. She then asked the Seventh Prince, "Which alley did you find the servant in?"

The Seventh Prince pointed to a spot in the city and said, "This place is called Needle Eye Alley because it's so narrow. The people living there are quite mixed, and it's the worst place in the capital for public security. Normally, many people don't go through here. I guess the servants wanted to take a shortcut to send the two children home."

"Have you checked every household in this alley?"

"checked."

"Have you also investigated the family where the servant was found?"

"Should we check it out?"

"Are you sure you checked?"

"Let me ask!"

The Seventh Prince called Li Yi and asked him to go to Needle Eye Lane to see if the family where the servant was found had been investigated.

Ye Youlan told Li Yi: "Not only should we check the inner room, but also the courtyard. For example, take away the pots in his house and have a look at the kitchen stove. Don't miss the well, the firewood pile, and the toilet."

"Are you exaggerating a bit?"

Ye Youlan smiled. When she was a child, she watched the movie "Tunnel Warfare". The design of the entrances and exits of the tunnels was beyond imagination.

"A carpet search means leaving no corner untouched. Some people might just go through the cabinets, knock on the walls, move vases, etc. Whatever we can think of, they will also think of. So the secret passage must be in an unexpected place."

"Then I have to send a message and have them search again."

An hour later, Li Yi sent someone to report that the entrance to the secret passage was found in the well of the house in Zhenyan Lane, and he led his men down the secret passage.

Ye Youlan looked at the Seventh Prince proudly, and the Seventh Prince praised Ye Youlan: "Princess, you are really smart."

Another hour passed.

A guard came to report that the two children had been found in a tunnel fifty feet away from Jinghua Academy. The kidnappers had also been caught and sent to the Dali Temple.

General Zhao knew nothing in the military camp. When he returned home and just entered the house, his wife hugged him and cried and laughed, and his three children stood by and watched quietly.

General Zhao was a little shy: "I haven't been home for just a few days. Why are you so excited? The child is watching!"

The lady wiped away her tears, pulled her son over, and said to General Zhao, "Yicheng was kidnapped by bad guys and disappeared for a day and a night. I was scared to death."

General Zhao yelled, "Why didn't you tell me your son is missing?"

Zhao Yicheng said with a smile, "Mom, don't say that. I'm fine, right? Ding Xiaoshan and I have even caught the real murderer who killed Mr. Zhang."

When the wife heard this, she was so angry that she picked up a broom and hit her son on the butt: "I taught you to show off your strength and to teach you not to be afraid."

General Zhao stopped him and asked his son to explain what happened.

After hearing the whole story, General Zhao looked at his wife and said, "Go to the blacksmith's shop and order a piece of iron. I want to see how delicious it is. It almost cost them their lives."

"Eat, eat, eat, just eat."

Although Mrs. Zhao was angry, she still ordered a iron plate for her son. She found that cooking on the iron plate was delicious, so she started trying various delicacies.

General Zhao was very grateful to the people from the City Patrol and Jingzhao Prefecture for helping him find people, and he booked ten tables at the Manyue Tower to treat them to drinks.

Li Chuang reminded that the people who should be thanked the most are the Seventh Prince and his guards.

General Zhao smiled and said, "I'll treat you alone."

But General Zhao never invited him because he was embarrassed to meet the Seventh Prince.

He had also been in the Chubei camp that year, attacking the enemy's forage base, and he was a supporter. Unfortunately, the day before departure, he suddenly suffered from severe diarrhea and was unable to participate. The day after the Seventh Prince led the vanguard to leave, the imperial edict arrived, ordering him to return to the capital to report on his work.

On the way back to Beijing in confusion, I received news that although the battle of Liangcheng severely damaged the enemy's food and grass base, our army suffered heavy losses, with only 300 people returning out of 3,000. This incident became a demon in the heart of the Seventh Prince and also the demon in the heart of General Zhao.

For a long time, he felt like a traitor. No matter where he went, he knew that the Seventh Prince's men were watching him. He always wanted to find the truth to prove his innocence.

But the Seventh Prince never gave him a chance, and most importantly, he could not produce any evidence of his innocence. After returning to the capital, he was promoted to the Right Commander of the Yulin Army, and General Ye was the Left Commander, and the two of them jointly controlled the Yulin Army.

He had never imagined that his son had quietly established contact with the palace and had even visited it. He asked his wife to select some high-quality rice and have Zhao Yicheng send it to the palace.

"Dad, this gift is not worth it."

The wife glared at her son and said, "What do you know? This is fragrant rice. The yield is very low. I can't even bear to eat it myself."

So Zhao Yicheng and Ding Xiaoshan went to the palace together.

Ding Xiaoshan was embarrassed: "My family doesn't have anything good to show for it, I'm embarrassed to go."

Zhao Yicheng looked at the five pounds of fragrant rice in his hand, feeling a little shabby.
