Early the next morning, Su Ruoxi woke up early.

After breakfast, Su Ruoxi took Wan'er to buy something on the street.

There were hundreds of medicinal herbs on her list, and she estimated that it would take her a whole day to walk through all the pharmacies.

"Miss, you have to buy so many things, why don't we bring a few more people out?"

After walking on the street for half an hour, Wan'er already had more than a dozen packets of medicine in her hand.

Su Ruoxi didn't explain, these medicines are very important, how could she bring unreliable people with her.

And Wan'er is stupid, even if she sees what medicines she has bought, I'm afraid she will forget it all in the blink of an eye.

After walking through several large pharmacies, Su Ruoxi found that there were more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials that could not be bought.

The kind-hearted shopkeeper told her that many of the medicines she wanted were only available in the palace, and the people couldn't buy them at all.

There are also some medicines, which are not available in the entire Northern Qi Kingdom.

Su Ruoxi held several lists in her hand, and in order to prevent the prescription from being leaked, she deliberately wrote several copies of the medicine list, which was mixed with some ordinary medicines.

It's just that she only bought less than one-tenth of the medicine after running all morning, which made her feel very lost.

It seems that if you want to refine the medicine of rejuvenation, it will take a few years, and I am afraid that you will not even be able to find all the medicinal materials.

Su Ruoxi thought to herself, but she was not in a hurry, as long as there was a prescription, she would be able to find all the medicines one day.

After shopping for a while, Su Ruoxi took Wan'er, who was already tired, to the restaurant for dinner.

She found the best restaurant in Binh Duong City, which not only has a good environment, but also makes delicious food.

Wan'er sat opposite Su Ruoxi, and drank several cups of tea in one go, and then she was relieved.

Wan'er had only been shopping with her for a long time, and she was tired like this, Su Ruoxi shook her head helplessly, and said, "Wan'er, you should exercise your body well." Why is the physique getting worse and worse! ”

In the palace, Wan'er is very idle, except for taking care of Su Ruoxi, she doesn't have to do any work.

Wan'er pouted aggrievedly, and said coquettishly: "Miss, Wan'er doesn't want to, it's just ......"

"Huh...... Miss, look who's coming! ”

As soon as Wan'er said the words, she saw a familiar figure outside the window, and immediately pointed to it excitedly.

Su Ruoxi looked out and saw that it was Mu Chengfeng walking slowly on the street on a horse.

"Go! Invite the four princes over! ”

Seeing Mu Chengfeng, Su Ruoxi felt that it was too much of a coincidence, so she thought about inviting Mu Chengfeng to eat together.

Soon, Wan'er invited Mu Chengfeng in.

Su Ruoxi asked the shopkeeper to arrange a separate room for them, so that they would not be seen and recognized.

Seeing Su Ruoxi, Mu Chengfeng was also very happy, and took the initiative to speak: "Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded, "Shouldn't the fourth brother be in the capital?" How can I have time to come to Binh Duong City to play today? ”

Although Pingyang City and the capital are very close to each other, it is still very tiring to run around on horseback.

Mu Chengfeng sighed, didn't hide it, and said honestly: "This time, I came to find the third brother on purpose. ”

"Well, what's the matter?"

Seeing Mu Chengfeng's frowning look, Su Ruoxi knew that he must be in a hurry.

"Don't you know the third sister-in-law? Recently, there was a major incident in the capital, many children disappeared for no reason, and the emperor sent me to follow the third brother to investigate the matter. ”

didn't listen to Mu Chengfeng, Su Ruoxi really didn't know, she didn't even hear the slightest rumor.

"Then the prince knows about this? Since when did it happen? How many children are missing? ”

Su Ruoxi asked curiously, as soon as she encountered such a bizarre case, she was very interested.

"The third brother naturally knows that the disappearance of the child began more than a month ago, and there were few missing children at that time, and some local officials were dealing with it."

"But since a few days ago, the number of missing people has suddenly reached more than 40. And it's all boys between the ages of three and ten. Lord Xu, who was in charge of the case, reported the matter yesterday, and my father was furious when he found out, so he ordered me and my third brother to investigate the matter together. ”

Although this is a secret of the imperial court, in front of Su Ruoxi, Mu Chengfeng has nothing to hide.

Listening to Mu Chengfeng's words, Su Ruoxi felt very strange, thinking about where those missing children had gone.

"Is there a clue now?" Su Ruoxi asked with concern.

Mu Chengfeng shook his head, sighed and continued: "This matter is very tricky, the thief did it cleanly and did not leave the slightest clue. ”

Wan'er, who was standing next to Su Ruoxi, suddenly interjected in a low voice: "Miss...... This thing ......"

Listening to Wan'er's tone, it seems that she knows something.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't ramble."

After receiving Su Ruoxi's signal, Wan'er said boldly: "Miss, a few days ago, when you and the prince hadn't come back, Wan'er heard from Aunt Wang, who delivered the dishes, that the child from the house next door to her suddenly disappeared. Every time Aunt Wang finished delivering the food, she would rush back in a hurry. ”

Hearing Wan'er say this, Su Ruoxi suddenly glanced at Mu Chengfeng.

"Could it be that those thieves have also started to attack in Pingyang City?"

Su Ruoxi frowned and said, if this is the case, the people who arrested the child must have done it by a very scheming organization.

It's just that she can't figure it out, what are these people going to do when they catch children?

Mu Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, the third brother should know the news." Third sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, we will go back to the palace together in a while, and we will know the situation. ”

"That's all there is to it!"

Mu Zihan never mentioned this matter to her, probably because he didn't want her to worry.

Su Ruoxi and Mu Chengfeng finished lunch in the restaurant, and hurried back to the palace.

Mu Zihan was no longer in the palace, and Su Ruoxi learned from the guards that Mu Zihan had gone to the yamen.

They waited all afternoon, when the sun was about to set, until Mu Zihan returned.

Seeing Mu Chengfeng, Mu Zihan called Mu Chengfeng to his study to talk about things, and asked Su Ruoxi to go back to rest first.

He didn't say anything about the child's disappearance.

Su Ruoxi understood that Mu Zihan didn't want her to know too much, so she pretended to go back to her room to rest.

As soon as Mu Zihan turned around, she secretly followed and ran to the roof of the study to eavesdrop.

Those hidden guards who were secretly guarding near the study were all stunned by Su Ruoxi with drugs, otherwise they would be seen by them, and it would be difficult for her to eavesdrop.

Su Ruoxi found a good position on the roof and uncovered a tile on the roof.

Not only could she hear the conversation between Mu Zihan and Mu Chengfeng, but she could even see the things on the table clearly.
