After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

"what is going on?"

Shen Muxi almost instinctively turned her head to look at Murong Jingyan.

"Go find it."

Murong Jingyan gave his orders in a concise and clear manner.

Shen Muxi wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Murong Jingyan.

"If the other party had planned this in advance, how could you find your daughter on your own?"

Shen Muxi turned around and grabbed Murong Jingyan's arms. "I will look for her even if I can't find her. I can't just watch my daughter disappear right under my nose."

Because of excitement, her eyes were red and even her voice was trembling.

The fear of witnessing Xiaoxiao die in front of me came over me.

She just felt difficulty breathing and couldn't even hear clearly what was happening around her.

Having finally had a chance to be reborn, she stayed with Xiaoxiao for several months just to hear her daughter call her mother again.

Seeing that her daughter was about to wake up, she was looking forward to the mother-daughter reunion with great hope, but turned around and was told that her daughter was missing.

What's the difference between this and cutting her heart out with a knife?

She swayed and almost fell down. Murong Jingyan was quick to help her up.

"Be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his hand.

He looked down.

A teardrop with residual warmth fell and shattered on the back of his hand as he supported her.

The woman in his arms had a pale face, and two tear marks appeared on her palm-sized face.

Murong Jingyan didn't know much about Beichen's "Shen Muxi".

All we know is that the woman disappeared, and later the Jingzhao Yin came to remind Gu Shi in person, but Gu Shi did not believe that the woman was murdered.

Gu Shi...

Correct.

How could he forget about Gu Shi?

"Gu Shi."

Murong Jingyan blurted out Gu Shi's name.

Shen Muxi's eyes, which had dimmed, suddenly brightened up.

She waited for Murong Jingyan's next words with hope in her eyes.

After all, he had just told her not long ago that Gu Shi had been trying like crazy these days to find the whereabouts of her and her daughter.

If it fell into Gu Shi's hands, Gu Shi's people might be afraid before reporting back and would not harm Xiaoxiao.

It can be considered a blessing in disguise.

But the probability is not high.

Not to mention that Nanyuan and Beichen are far apart, Gu Shi is unable to reach them.

Considering the current situation between the two countries that is on the verge of breaking out, Gu Shi would be crazy to send people to Nanyuan.

Murong Jingyan couldn't bear to shatter Shen Muxi's hopes, but he knew that the lie would be exposed one day, so he finally told Shen Muxi the truth tactfully.

"Of course, this is just a possibility. After all, Gu Shi would never have dreamed that his daughter, whom he didn't value, is now being raised in Nanyuan's Little East Palace. So we have to prepare for both scenarios."

"Be prepared?"

Shen Muxi finally had another reaction.

Murong Jingyan nodded. "Everything may seem calm in the court, but in reality, there have been undercurrents. These past few days, there have been constant incidents between the Shen Mansion and the Anping Marquis' Mansion, and the people behind the scenes are gradually becoming restless..."

Murong Jingyan did not continue to say the following words.

Shen Muxi had guessed it almost exactly.

Her eyes gradually calmed down from the initial panic and confusion.

She took a deep breath and then looked at Murong Jingyan, "Why is it Xiaoxiao?"

Murong Jingyan pursed his lips, "You and I know that Xiaoxiao is your daughter, but no one else knows."

His tone was aggrieved, and his eyes were tinged with a hint of hostility.

In the eyes of others, she is Murong Jingyan's future crown princess, while Xiaoxiao is a concubine's daughter.

It is natural for the future Crown Princess to be unable to tolerate the Crown Prince's daughter and to murder the little princess to pave the way for her future offspring.

Shen Muxi obviously guessed the motives behind those people.

"If this matter has nothing to do with Gu Shi, they want to eliminate Xiao Xiao and put the blame on me, causing a rift between you and the Shen family..."

Therefore, the person who did this is most likely from the Taishi Mansion...

Shen Muxi told Murong Jingyan his guess.

Murong Jingyan didn't have any other special reaction, only saying, "I will find out everything, don't worry."

The man in front of her was frank in his eyes and expression, especially when he said "don't worry" to her, even the strands of his hair were sincere.

Shen Muxi also knew that Gu Xiaoxiao's disappearance was most likely not related to him, but she still couldn't help but say, "It would be best if Your Highness could find out everything. After all, all our cooperation is based on Xiaoxiao."

Murong Jingyan knew he was in the wrong and touched his nose with a guilty conscience, "Of course."

Seeing that Shen Muxi had no intention of leaving, Murong Jingyan said again, "Don't worry, as long as He Hong finds the whereabouts of those people, he will definitely be able to bring Xiaoxiao back. This palace will give you and your daughter an explanation."

There was no sign of relaxation on Shen Muxi's face.

He pursed his lips tightly and stared outside without blinking.

Her meaning was very clear, she was waiting for Murong Jingyan's explanation.

Murong Jingyan frowned.

There were people who wanted to control him in the past.

In the end, he found all those people one by one and dealt with them one by one.

But Shen Muxi...

He quietly clenched his hands behind his back.

The slight warmth spreading from Dantian to the body is still there...

Murong Jingyan's eyes alternated between helplessness and anger.

In the end, physical instinct briefly overcame reason.

Forget it, as a loving parent in the world, I will just let her be unruly this time.

After coming up with the idea, Murong Jingyan didn't say anything more to Shen Muxi. He just sat down behind the desk and handled his official business.

The sky gradually becomes brighter.

Shen Muxi maintained the same posture for too long and felt sore all over. She turned around and saw Murong Jingyan writing furiously at his desk in front of a pile of letters. She felt strange - wasn't it said that the prince was out of favor?

What about the letters and memorials piled in front of him?

"Your Highness."

A loud voice interrupted Shen Muxi's thoughts.

It also attracted Murong Jingyan's attention.

He instinctively looked up, and his beautiful facial features suddenly caught Shen Muxi's sight and were engraved in Shen Muxi's mind.

Shen Muxi turned around in panic.

The outline of a tall figure gradually became clear from the morning mist.

He Hong, who had been busy like a top all night, came back and said, "I am incompetent and a step late.

There were two groups of people trying to get the little princess, and she ended up in the hands of the other group."

Shen Muxi stood up excitedly, "Is there another group of people trying to snatch Xiaoxiao?"
