But now it's different, Chu Xiaoxiao is the hero who pacified the Yongzhou Rebellion, and was previously crowned the county lord by His Majesty on the Wanshou Festival, and this time he gave her the armor to protect the country, and the limelight is not much better than the Feng Jiao who came back from the victory that year.

A good-for-nothing young lady naturally doesn't have many people paying attention to it, and now Chu Xiaoxiao's identity, if something like this happens, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the capital.

However, although this incident caused a lot of turmoil in the capital, there was not the slightest movement on the side of Chu Mansion.

In the face of everyone's inquiries, Chu Ci directly told His Majesty that he was at home on leave, and only said that Chu Xiaoxiao went to Yanzhou to worship his deceased biological mother to worship his ancestors.

For a while, there were different opinions in the capital, some people said that the news of Chu Xiaoxiao's disappearance was true, it seemed that the Huaiyang county lord offended the people in the rivers and lakes when he was running affairs in Yongzhou City, and he was retaliated against, and some people believed Chu Ci and felt that the rumors in the capital were just false rumors.

"Did you find it?"

In King Jing's mansion, Yun Ruochen slowly rubbed the thin porcelain teacup in his hand and asked lightly.

Hearing this, Dark Wind hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, my subordinates found out that the Lord of the Underworld and the ink seat seem to be heading northwest. ”

"Sure enough. Yun Ruochen's eyes were almost invisibly gloomy.

He originally thought that the matter of Styx Moon in Yongzhou City had just been revealed, and he would definitely not go to the northwest again, but he didn't expect that he would think like this, and Styx Moon would definitely guess that he would think like this.

"Your Highness......" Dark Wind raised his eyes to look at Yun Ruochen, and said cautiously: "The location of the Underworld Branch has always been secret, and the subordinates have already sent people to look for it, and they will be able to find out the whereabouts of the Huaiyang County Lord before tomorrow." ”

After saying that, Dark Wind felt that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Although Chu Xiaoxiao has been missing for the past few days, his master has not shown any eagerness, but Dark Wind still understands Yun Ruochen in the end, and the more he is so quiet, the more it shows that the master cares extremely much.

As soon as the words fell, Yun Ruochen nodded casually, looked at the night sky outside the window and stopped talking, and his cold jade-white side face was like a jade carving without a trace of fireworks.

But if you look closely, you will find that Yun Ruochen's delicate eyes without the slightest pollution are already as cold as frost, and there is a piercing killing intent hidden in the bottom of his eyes.

After a pause, Yun Ruochen seemed to remember something, and gently raised his eyes and asked, "What's going on with the rumors in the capital now?"

When Shenyue did this, the movement was not very big, even the people of the Chu Mansion only found out that Chu Xiaoxiao was missing the next day. And Chu Xiaoxiao has never walked in the capital, not to mention that she has been missing for two days, even if she has been missing for a month or two, as long as the Chu Mansion does not make trouble, no one will find out.

Now there is an uproar in the capital, saying that it was not deliberately done by someone, Yun Ruochen would not believe it no matter what.

Hearing Yun Ruochen's words, Dark Wind hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the news of the disappearance of the county lord of Huaiyang came from the prince's mansion, according to the investigation of his subordinates, this matter should be done by Concubine Lin of the prince's mansion, but ...... The Duke of Qin was also involved in this matter. ”

Hearing this, Yun Ruochen frowned slightly at first, and then remembered who this Concubine Lin was.

The first time he met Chu Xiaoxiao, it was Chu Xiaoxiao who was thrown into a mass grave by Lin Hao'er and Yun Lingtian in conspiracy, although he didn't remember Lin Hao'er's appearance very much, but he still had some impressions of this person.

"Lin Yongan's daughter......" Yun Ruochen thought for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Since she is so interested in this matter, let her also experience it for herself." ”

"Yes...... Subordinates understand. Darkwind hurriedly replied.

Hearing this, Yun Ruochen turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "No, you haven't understood what this king means. ”

"Your Highness?" Dark Wind was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of what Bai Yun Ruochen meant.

Yun Ruochen said in a light voice: "Now in the capital, there is a lot of uproar because of Xiaoxiao's disappearance, and there must be another bigger news to talk about this matter and suppress it, you ...... Got it?"

As soon as the words fell, Dark Wind was startled for a moment, and then understood what Yun Ruochen meant.

According to His Royal Highness's intentions, this Lin Zhen'er is afraid that she is going to be unlucky......

Although he thought so in his heart, Dark Wind still didn't have the slightest doubt about Yun Ruochen's words, "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”

Prince's Mansion.

Lin Zhen'er couldn't help but laugh out loud when she listened to the return of the maid below.

This is the first time she has been in such a happy mood since marrying Yun Lingtian as a side concubine, and she even generously rewarded all the maids in her yard.

"Concubine Niangniang. Cai Xing cautiously looked at Lin Zhen'er's face, and saw that Lin Zhen'er had no displeasure on her face, so she boldly said: "According to the slave maid, the county lord of Huaiyang is really a cheap person, and he can't stand this wealth from heaven." It's only been a few months since he was crowned the county lord, and he was kidnapped by thieves, so even if he comes back, he is not innocent. ”

Cai Xing is Lin Zhener's dowry maid, and she has served Lin Zhener since she was a child, so she naturally knows a lot about the affairs between Lin Zhener and Chu Xiaoxiao.

Although Lin Zhener was friendly with Chu Xiaoxiao before, she was just jealous of Chu Xiaoxiao's status as the fiancée of the prince, and wanted to get benefits from Chu Xiaoxiao.

What's more, now that Lin Zhener and Chu Xiaoxiao have turned their faces, Lin Zhener naturally hates Chu Xiaoxiao even more.

As Lin Zhen'er's maid, in order to please his master, Caixing also belittles Chu Xiaoxiao anytime and anywhere.

Hearing Caixing's words, Lin Zhen'er was really overjoyed, and took off a golden hairpin on her head and threw it to Caixing, "You still know how to speak, this reward is given to you." ”

"Yes, thank you Concubine Niangniang...... Cai Xing hurriedly accepted the golden hairpin, saluted Lin Zhen'er and said: "Concubine Niangniang is a person with profound blessings, and she will definitely be a mother in the world in the future." ”

The smile on Lin Hao'er's face became more and more pleasant, and the depression that had been in place for days was also swept away.

Even if she marries the crown prince and becomes a side concubine, as long as she has the opportunity, she will definitely be able to climb to that position!

After a while, Lin Zhen'er glanced at the sky outside the window, and saw that it was getting dark, so she couldn't help asking, "Where did the prince go today?"

Cai Xing hurriedly said: "Back to the side concubine Niangniang, the prince went to visit the Duke of Qin today after the court, and now he has returned to the house, at this time...... It's in Aunt Mei's yard. ”

"Bang!"

As soon as Cai Xing's words were finished, the smile on Lin Zhen'er's face suddenly changed, and in an instant, she swept the teacup on the table down.

"Concubine Niangniang......" Caixing's face turned pale, and then he fell to his knees in an instant, not daring to say a word.
