Mi Town. Qing Mansion.

Baili Qingcang sat in the study, with a few portraits of Mu Yanran, the little princess of Nan'an, in front of her, her eyebrows frowning slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Huabei quietly put down the tea and went out, although she didn't know what was going on, but judging from the situation of Ling Hongfei's brothers and sisters and Yu Chun Moqiu coming and going in the past two days, something big must have happened.

"Ling Gongzi." As soon as Huabei walked out of the door, he saw Ling Hongfei, who had rushed back again, made a regular salute and said hello softly.

Ling Hongfei nodded slightly, made a silent silence to Huabei, and pushed open the door of the study.

Draw a north salute and quietly retreat.

Anyone who serves Baili Qingcang close knows that the relationship between Ling Hongfei and the prince is extraordinary. Ling Hongfei's father, Ling Zhan, is not only the current left minister of Beichen Kingdom, but also the eldest brother of the deceased Empress Ling, and the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ling Hongfei grew up with Baili Qingcang since he was a child, and I am afraid that so far, apart from him, no one dares to say that he understands Baili Qingcang.

"Hongfei, what's new?" When Baili Qingcang saw Ling Hongfei, he stepped forward to stop those false courtesies, and motioned for Ling Hongfei to sit down and asked.

"It's not the Night Butterfly." Ling Hongfei sat on a chair on the left side of the study, looking at Baili Qingcang with a worried face.

I haven't seen it for a morning, and Baili Qingcang looks a lot haggard again, and the tea and rice in front of him have not moved at all. Ling Hongfei hesitated, stood up, put his hand close to the teacup, and tested the temperature, the tea was still very hot, obviously Huabei had just changed, Ling Hongfei picked up the teacup and handed it to Baili Qingcang in person.

Baili Qingcang took it, put it to his lips and took a sip, and then put it down again.

Ling Hongfei looked at Baili Qingcang silently, there were some things he had been wanting to say for the past two days. But he never said it. The main reason is that he didn't have time, he was sent away by Baili Qingcang just after reporting the matter. Seeing him today, he didn't ask anything, but fell into deep thought, Ling Hongfei thought for a moment, and decided to say what he thought.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. According to the opinion of her subordinates, the star fruit girl may not be the little princess of Nan'an. After that, Ling Hongfei still decided to swallow it in his stomach.

He believed that the prince would understand. Because the portrait in front of the crown prince is the little princess Mu Yanran's, which he personally snatched from the hands of His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

On that day, his subordinates reported that the second prince's people sneaked into the camp of Yuan Fang, the leader of the guards of Nan'an State, late at night, and Ling Hongfei knew that this matter must be related to the little princess, so he changed into night clothes. Quietly followed the man out of the camp, knocked him unconscious to the ground in three or two blows, searched out some portraits from his body, and handed them to the prince.

Presumably, the second prince knew who robbed the portrait, but he could only pretend not to know, in the matter of treating the little princess of Nan'an, the same as the throne, the outcome was undecided. The second prince can only be in the dark.

However, I have heard that the commander of the guards of Nan'an Kingdom is an old fox, how can it be so easy for people to steal the portrait of the little princess? It's really weird.

Judging from the eyebrows. The little princess on the portrait is indeed somewhat similar to the little star fruit back then. But that's just the appearance of the little princess when she was four or five years old, and it is estimated that the children of that age are all very similar, and I really can't conclude that the star fruit is the little princess.

Not to mention, of course, the first person to see star fruit. But he! At that time, although the star fruit was thin and small, the person was very energetic, although his face was not good, but the light in his eyes could not hide it, he had never seen the star fruit. Showed the innocent smile with a weak touch on the portrait.

She just makes an innocent appearance, and she can also make people see at a glance that she is deliberate and pretending.

Besides, how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and star fruit met back then, I shouldn't forget it so quickly. Even if the little princess loses her memory, she will not change her temperament so quickly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blindfolded by his own heart, so he would rather believe that star fruit is the little princess.

The sudden disappearance of star fruit caused an uproar in Lushui Village, Grandma Pei and Pei Yifan were even more anxious, Grandma Pei didn't think about tea and dinner, Pei Yifan was quite assertive, and followed Lu Dahei to find Luo Die.

In the past two days, Baili Qingcang has been to Lushui Village twice. There are different opinions in the village, but the main ones are two theories.

One is that the mountain can't be easily entered, a few years ago, Xia Pengcheng of the old Xia family, met a monster in the mountain, scared a lot, star fruit has often gone to that mountain to play recently, and brought a lot of people to go, maybe it angered the monsters or gods on the mountain.

The second is that two strangers who came to the village some time ago to inquire about the nine-year-old single girl, those two people are not good people at first glance, maybe they took advantage of the unpreparedness and took the star fruit away.

Baili Qingcang didn't think much of the monsters and immortals, and the two strangers who didn't look like good people in the eyes of the villagers, he also sent someone to find out before the carambola disappeared, and they were Nan'an Yuanfang's subordinates. If the star fruit was really taken by them, it would be a good thing, it would mean that Yuan Fang had finally locked the star fruit, and the possibility that the star fruit was a little princess was very high.

But this is not Yuan Fang's way, whether the star fruit is a little princess or not, the old fox will not use such a dark and vulgar means.

In the past two days, Baili Qingcang sent Ling Hongfei's brother and sister and Yu Chunmo Qiubing to divide into two ways, one to investigate Luo Die, and the other to investigate Baili Qingyu. But he knew in his heart that neither of them was possible.

Luo Die is the big boss of the "Night Butterfly" organization, he has always acted boldly and high-profile and uncertain, and he is also thoughtful, even when he kidnapped the little princess, he did not deliberately hide the name of "Night Butterfly". "Night Butterfly" became famous overnight, mainly because of Luo Die's courage and wit.

What's more, Luo Die and star fruit are so close, although it can be seen from the bad mood of star fruit that there is a problem between them, but even if there is a gap between the two, Luo Die, who is known as "the first master of martial arts" and "the first beautiful man in the world", will not use such means to deal with a little girl who is powerless.

And Baili Qingyu, his half-brother, although he has a bad heart, he has always been known as a good man.

On the surface, Baili Qingyu not only respects him, but also loves his younger brothers, and gets along very well with everyone in the palace.

Except, except, some of his supporters and henchmen. In the past few years, Baili Qingyu has not given them a lot of stumbling blocks, but they have not dared to the extent of blatantly cleaning up the people in the court.

Whether it is him or his supporters, although they all know that Baili Qingyu has one thing on the surface and one behind him, he is a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and has three knives on both sides, but before Baili Qingyu people show a clue and make a big mistake, no one will say that he is wrong in the court, so in terms of popularity, Baili Qingyu has the potential to surpass him, the rightful prince.

In terms of scheming, Baili Qingyu will never lose under his brother, and he will never make such an act at this critical moment and give someone a handle.

Although Baili Qingcang thinks clearly, he cares about it. In the current situation of having no clue, not only did he send people to inquire about Luo Die and Baili Qingyu, but he also sent people to inquire near Yuan Fang's camp, but there was no news.

Of course he understood Ling Hongfei's words, before he was sure that the star fruit was the little princess, he didn't have to get involved in this matter, and even, when his father had already begun to intend for him to marry Mu Qingcheng, the eldest princess of Nan'an, the sudden disappearance of star fruit was not only not a bad thing, but a good thing for him.

Thinking that the reason why Concubine Ru made this suggestion in front of her father and emperor must be that Baili Qingyu sent a message back, and he was already sure that he had found the whereabouts of the little princess.

"Withdraw the men who followed the 'Night Butterfly'." Baili Qingcang picked up the teacup on the table, stared at the water in the cup, and did not look up. "Send additional people to keep an eye on Baili Qingyu, and don't slack off."

"Yes!"

Ling Hongfei immediately understood what Baili Qingcang meant, although the second prince would not give people a handle, but seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and star fruit were very close, it was not impossible to make such a dangerous move in a hurry. The most important thing is that he can completely hand over the star fruit to others and then pretend to rescue it, and then the star fruit is grateful to him and is bound to treat him as a person who can be trusted.

"If there are no special circumstances, there is no need to report every day." Baili Qingcang said again.

Seeing Ling Hongfei taking the order and leaving, Baili Qingcang immediately called Huabei.

"Childe." Huabei was reminded by Baili Qingcang once, and I still remember to call him that.

"I'm going to rush to Lushui Village immediately, and before I come back, whoever comes will say that I'm resting and won't see anyone, including Ling Hongfei." Baili Qingcang commanded, and the person had already walked out.

"Childe, you haven't ...... yet" The voice of Huabei has not fallen, and there is no trace of Baili Qingcang.

Huabei walked into the study, took out the untouched tea and rice and put it at the door, and returned, looking down at the portrait on the table.

To tell the truth, the person in this portrait really can't tell that it is the star fruit girl, and the painting Bei feels that she and the girls that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have seen elsewhere are very similar to this portrait. It seems that at the beginning, the person who kidnapped the little princess really put a lot of thought into it, but now, the person who kidnapped can clearly distinguish which one is the little princess?

Huabei put away the portrait, went out the door, and locked the study door very carefully.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is looking for the little princess, and he is also acting in secret, ostensibly under the banner of going everywhere to observe the people's feelings, even the people in Mizhen, except for her and Ling Hongfei's brothers and sisters, and Yu Chun Moqiu, others don't know. In Beichen Palace, no one knows about it, including the emperor, the imperial concubine, and even the prince's side concubine.

Of course, except for the second prince who was always peeking at the crown prince's throne and his mother concubine. However, they will not say it anytime soon. Unless......

Hua Bei's right eyelid suddenly jumped, making her hand tremble, and the household goods in her hand almost didn't fall to the ground. (To be continued......)
