During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the imperial palace, the Yuan Emperor of Yue Kingdom, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, appeared at the banquet together with several noble concubines.

When He Jianqing left home for southern Xinjiang, he met Emperor Yuan. At that time, Emperor Yuan was obsessed with seeking the art of immortality. Part of the time is used to deal with state affairs.

Now it seems that instead of slowing down, the trend has intensified.

When He Jianqing saw Emperor Yuan, he suddenly couldn't recognize the person in front of him. When he was young, he accompanied his father and brother to palace banquets many times. The country of Yue is strong and prosperous in its own hands.

More than ten years have passed, and the Yue Kingdom is still in the same place among the other countries, and the people live in peace. Now, it seems that unless the crown prince takes power as soon as possible, he does not know how it will end.

Emperor Yuan's face was flushed and full of energy, but if you look carefully, you can feel the signs of his old age and weakness, all relying on those strange medicines to maintain the superficial illusion.

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew about this matter and persuaded them, and the result can be imagined.

At the banquet, the singing and dancing was peaceful, but He Jian looked at it lightly, and everyone had their own ideas in their hearts.

"You haven't seen me for a while, how is it? How are you doing recently?" Marquis of Liezhi Wan Yi approached He Jianqing and asked in a neutral tone.

He Jianqing raised his glass to him: "It's okay."

"I've heard that, not only are you okay, you're really enjoying it!" Marquis of Liechi Wan Yi said pointedly.

"Really?" He Jianqing didn't want to talk too much with him, Wan Yi is a person who likes to inquire about all kinds of news, and will spread the news, so he doesn't put a padlock on his mouth.

Seeing that he was neither cold nor indifferent, nor less enthusiastic, Wan Yu leaned closer and said, "Don't hide it, didn't you find the eldest son of the Yu family? Why, don't you bring it here for everyone to have a look at?"

He Jianqing was disturbed by the smell of alcohol coming to his face, and he heard the meaning behind what he said, his complexion sank, he pushed him away without a trace, and said: "Master Hou, you can drink more wine, don't talk nonsense, Be careful about losing your tongue."

Wan Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, and saw that He Jianqing's face was not looking good, so he immediately changed the subject: "Yes, yes, I'm talking nonsense..."

He Jian's appearance of making light of strangers and not to enter made Wan Hao embarrassed for a while, but he forgot it after a while, and seeing Emperor Yuan excitedly watching the song and dance, he came over and said, "Do you know why the Holy One is so happy? This New Year's Eve banquet He didn't do anything, why did Mid-Autumn Festival come up with the idea—"

He Jianqing was not in court, but he also heard a few gossips, but he was not as daring as Wan Yi to say them here and now.

"I don't know who doesn't know how to offer a national teacher to the emperor. Look at the emperor's happy face. Bah, what kind of national teacher is clearly a charlatan, who makes the palace a mess. One day - ah, the king My lord, please please..."

He Jianqing couldn't hear what he was whispering in his ears, so he found a space, got up and left the table, walked to the imperial garden, and took a breath.

The night was like water, and the moonlight shone down, covering the garden with a layer of soft light that seemed to be absent, hazy, just like the waves in Yu Xuan's eyes when he didn't wake up early yesterday morning.

He Jianqing couldn't help but smiled lightly.

"Yeah" sounded from behind him.

He Jianqing immediately turned around vigilantly, but he couldn't see anyone, he shouted: "Who? Come out!"

After waiting for a while, a petite figure walked out from behind the pillar.

"I pay my respects to Princess Xuanyi! Please forgive me for offending the princess!"

Princess Xuanyi raised her hand: "Excuse me, please get up."

Tonight, she was wearing a lake-blue palace dress, with a little makeup, and she looked soft and lovely under the moonlight.

"Why is Young Master here?" Princess Xuanyi asked, looking straight at He Jianqing.

"Come out and wake up, and I'll go back now—the night is heavy and dewy, princess, please come back earlier, I will leave!" He Jianqing said quickly, then backed away.

"Hey—" Princess Xuanyi caught up with her two steps, then stopped again, and sighed deeply.

He Jianqing just took a few steps away from the Royal Garden when he bumped into the prince Chen Zhen head-on.

"His Royal Highness." He Jianqing didn't know why there was such a coincidence today, so he had to meet him.

Chen Zhen looked over his shoulder, looked at the standing figure of Princess Xuanyi in front of him, looked at He Jianqing twice, and said, "You run fast."

There was something in his words, He Jian replied lightly: "It's just that I drank too much and came out to blow some air. Is His Highness the Crown Prince looking for something?"

Chen Zhen did have something to do, he said to He Jianqing: "Come to my place in a few days, I really need to find you. It's not convenient to talk about it here today, let's go."

"Yes."

It wasn't until He Jianqing returned to the Hou Mansion from the palace that he realized that something had happened.

He Cheng waited anxiously at the door, he did not follow him to the palace, when he saw He Jianqing, he immediately went up to meet him, and said anxiously: "Master, something is wrong."

"what happened?"

"Young master is gone!"

He Jianqing only felt dizzy for a while, he held the car door and almost fell down.

"Master!" He Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand.

He Jian calmed down for a while, and shouted sharply: "What's going on, tell me!"

It turned out that there was a Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival tonight, and Yu Zhongzheng agreed to take the two brothers to have fun after Yu Nian begged desperately.

He also thought that Yu Xuan had just returned to the capital, so it would be good if he went out to relax, and he was tired from studying these days. This was a good opportunity for the father and son to enhance their relationship.

Originally, the three of them had a good time, but Yu Xuan has become familiar with them after getting along with them for a long time, and is no longer as unfamiliar as when he first came here.

Later, when Yu restarted meeting his colleagues in the DPRK and China, he accompanied him and said a few more words. Yu Nian was a lively person, and when he saw something novel and interesting, he dragged Yu Xuan away.

It doesn't matter if you go this time, but something big happened.

When Yu Nian took Yu Xuan to watch the fire ring show, the juggler missed and sprayed the fire on the stall next door, and the fire started immediately, causing everyone to run away in shock.

In this way, Yu Xuan and Yu Nian were dispersed.

Yu Nian quickly went to look for Yu Zhongxing, and then went to many people to help him find him. Yu Nian was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to Hou's mansion to find He Jianqing, but when he saw that he was not there, he hurriedly told He Chengcheng to go to find someone again.

After He Jian listened to He Cheng's words lightly, his face turned livid, and He Cheng's back shivered when he saw it.

"Everyone sent out?"

"Yes, they all went."

He Jian nodded lightly, his face was cold and hard, with killing intent in his eyes: "Lead the way!"

He Cheng jumped into the carriage, drove by himself, and hurried to the place where the accident happened.

Because of this accident, the crowd who came to watch the lantern festival walked and scattered, the streets were sparse, and the carriage was able to rush to the accident site quickly.

When He Jianqing arrived, the people from the government were talking to Yu Zhongxing, who was anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do.

The man spoke politely, but he didn't pay much attention to what was said.

"Don't worry, my lord. Everyone has been dispatched and they will be found soon. You should rest for a while. It's useless to be anxious, isn't it. The Eldest Young Master is such a big man, maybe he went astray for a while, don't worry, don't worry."

He Cheng frowned upon hearing this, not to mention He Jianqing.

He got out of the carriage, stepped like the wind, came to Yu Zhongxing, nodded to him, and saw that it was obviously a deputy under Mr. Liu, who was appointed by Jinghu in the capital's government office, and he knew that Jinghu would not take this matter seriously treat.

When the assistant saw He Jianqing, he also looked at Yan Sheng, so he didn't take a high look.

He Jianqing didn't intend to talk nonsense with these low-minded people, so he asked Yu Zhongxing himself: "Where is Yu Nian?"

Hearing the coldness in his words, Yu Zhongxin couldn't care about it now, and hurriedly greeted Yu Nian who was jumping in a hurry.

Yu Nian walked up to He Jianqing anxiously, not daring to breathe.

He knew how much He Jianqing valued his eldest brother, just by looking at the other person's cold face, he knew that if his eldest brother couldn't find him, he would probably have to hit a wall, so he dealt with the matter thoroughly said.

"We have sent people here and there to look for it. It is our own people. The reports say that we have not found it, and we are still looking for it. What should we do?!"

When the assistant heard what Yu Nian said, he immediately became unhappy: "Young Master Yu, you can't say that, our people are all doing their best—"

He Jianqing casually snatched the torch from that pair of hands and walked towards one of the paths.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" The deputy wanted to chase, but He Cheng stopped him.

"Don't block the way!" He Cheng pushed his deputy, and quickly followed He Jianqing.

Yu Nian also followed, but after following for a while, he found that He Cheng and He Jianqing had long since disappeared, so he had no choice but to back away: "Father, why don't we go over there and look for—"

He Jianqing was careful not to miss the corners and corners of the road, his heart felt like he was falling into hell, he dared not imagine how terrified and restless Yu Xuan was at this moment when he was alone and helpless, how scared he should be.

In the past few months, it has been hard to raise Yu Xuan so that he no longer has to be frightened and cautious, but now that he has suffered, he has suffered again.

He didn't blame Yu Nian, nor could he blame Yu restart, but he only blamed himself for not taking Yu Xuan with him when he left.It was clear that Yu Xuan wanted to follow him.

Yu Xuan, Yu Xuan——

He Jian paused lightly, threw the torch on the ground, stomped it out, leaned sideways against the wall, and listened intently.

In the night wind, two voices came faintly.

"Are they gone?"

"Not yet. I've searched this road, and I probably won't come again. Wait a little longer."

"What if they come again?"

"Don't be afraid, when the time comes, we'll just say we picked it up, we—who?!"

Those two people had always been highly vigilant, paying attention to the wind on the road at all times, when a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of them, the two of them immediately surrounded and stared at the person coming.

However, before they could see the person in front of them clearly, they were kicked and flew out, hit the wall, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled on the ground screaming in pain.

He Jianqing found Yu Xuan in their hiding place. He was packed in a sack and passed out!

The two knew that they had encountered a master, and seeing the incident was brought to light, they were about to flee, but they saw another person blocking the exit ahead.

"Excuse me, the official, the little one just saw him fainting by the side of the road, so he kindly took him in, and please--ahhhh!"

He Cheng dealt with the two of them, walked to He Jianqing's side, and was about to speak when he saw He Jianqing's appearance, he was speechless.

He hoped in his heart that the young master of the Yu family would not make any mistakes, otherwise——
