Chapter 178: Searching for Someone
Jun Xu stared at him tightly, the corners of his lips slightly opened, with a little anger, and asked, "What about people?" ”
When Jun Yan heard this, he opened the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "I don't know who the eighth brother is asking?"
As soon as the words fell, the long sword was even closer, Jun Yan's face changed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth sank.
Just listen to the emotionless voice coming in, "You know who is asking." ”
Jun Yan snorted coldly, "Let this king guess if it's your maid, what's the matter, when the person is gone, he came to Jingrong Hall to ask for someone?" ”
"You took people with you." Jun Xu affirmed.
Hearing this, Jun Yan chuckled, "Do you have evidence?" ”
Jun Xu didn't speak, and Jun Yan had an answer in his heart, "This king thought that the eighth brother was here to learn from the second brother, but it turned out that he was here to find trouble." ”
Staring at Jun Yan in front of him, Jun Xu couldn't help but become more worried.
He really didn't have any evidence, but instinctively felt that Yun Ruonan was taken away by him, because Yun Ruonan only had some connection with him in this palace.
But now he doesn't admit it, and he has no evidence, and it's even more difficult to find someone.
The person in front of him was still talking, "Your maid is gone, maybe you ran where you were lazy and forgot the time, you wait in the palace for a while, maybe the person will come back, and why hurt the feelings between brothers because of a little maid." ”
Hearing this, Jun Xu finally threw the long sword on the ground, and a cold light appeared in his eyes, "If Xiao Nan is really taken away by you, the second brother will not blame the eighth brother for hurting this fragile brotherhood." ”
With that, he turned around and lifted his feet and left the place.
Looking at the back of Jun Xu leaving, Jun Yan stood in place and pondered for a long time.
Finally, I touched my chest, and there was a faint pain, this maid is really a scourge, but as long as she is eliminated, Jun Xu's poison detoxification drama will be self-defeating.
The ice cellar has a very low temperature all year round, not to mention that the place is also a ruin, and few people have always gone to it, even if it is found by then, I am afraid it will only be an ice corpse.
Thinking of this, the corners of Jun Yan's lips hooked slightly, and there was even a little joy in his eyes.
searched all night, but there was no result, and even the people sent out by Ah San did not have any whereabouts, Jun Xu gradually became irritable.
The birthday banquet is coming, but now this thing has happened, if you really can't find Yun Ruonan, it will really be in vain.
No, as long as the person is not found, he can't give up easily.
The night was getting deeper, and Yun Ruonan had already slept in the cabinet at this time in the past, and he was already lying on the couch, but now he was alone at the door.
The uneasiness in his heart gradually magnified, and he called Ah San and carefully asked him about all the details of what happened today.
Ah San seemed embarrassed to twist and pinch, but when he saw that his master was so anxious, he told Jun Xu what happened on the way.
"When Ah San came back, he met a maid who was stealing food near the imperial dining room, and then Ah San was also a little hungry at the time, so she gave me the pastry to eat, and then when I came back to get the drawings, I felt a little diarrhea, and I don't know if it was the problem with the pastry." Ah San said that the more he said in the back, the quieter his voice became, for fear of being blamed by the Eighth Prince.
When Jun Xu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly.
Yes, it was because Ah San suddenly had diarrhea that he asked Yun Ruonan to send the drawings, and then the person disappeared.
It is impossible to leave the palace, only to be in the palace, but this palace is so big, if someone is arrested or hidden somewhere, no one can be found at all.
"Where's the maid?"
Hearing this, Ah San hurriedly said, "It's from Qingyi Palace, a little maid with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but Ah San looks a little angry, I don't know if the Eighth Prince has recruited some maids in recent days." ”
Jun Xu's face was slightly gloomy, and he ordered, "Find all the maids in Qingyi Palace." ”
"Yes."
After a while, all the maids of Qingyi Hall gathered together, but there were only ten of them, including the three beauties who were also pulled up in the middle of the night, looking all pale, but they didn't dare to complain.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the eighth prince is in a bad mood now, it seems that he is about to explode at one point, no one wants to be the first bird, everyone keeps to themselves, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they dare not show it.
"Go and see, which one is it?" Jun Xu commanded coldly.
In response to the order, Ah San stepped forward to take a closer look, and after this round, there was no familiar face, so he couldn't help frowning and looked at it again.
After looking back and forth many times, he stepped forward tremblingly and said truthfully, "Go back, go back to the Eighth Prince, there is no ...... that maid."
As soon as he said that, the air suddenly fell silent, and the people in the store didn't dare to breathe.
Hearing this answer, Jun Xu seemed to be the expected answer.
It's just that after this was confirmed, Jun Xu only felt a little more angry.
Listening to the sound of "bang", the porcelain cup in his hand was crushed by force, the porcelain pieces crossed the palm, and all the tea in it was spilled.
"The Eighth Prince." Everyone was taken aback.
The maids also knelt on the ground even more, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
Ah San hurriedly stepped forward, took out the towel on the side and wiped it for him, there was still porcelain slag in the palm of his hand, oozing some blood, Ah San was distressed, and said while wiping, "Eighth prince, don't worry, Ah San has already increased the number of people to check, it's so late, or you go and take a rest, and in half a month, it's the Queen Mother's birthday, don't be tired." ”
Jun Xu pondered for a while, then got up and went back to the bedroom.
One night, but never sleepless.
……
Yun Ruonan couldn't hold on for long, and at first she was still looking for a way out, or how to get out of this dead land.
But in the back, it was getting colder and colder, colder and colder, and Yun Ruonan didn't want to move anymore.
She couldn't tell the difference between day and night in this place, and she didn't know how long she had been in this place, but she felt like her whole body was stiff.
Shrinking in a ball, rubbing his arms with both hands, he kept giving himself a sigh, but his body still couldn't help but tremble.
It's too cold.
When he got to the back, Yun Ruonan didn't know why, he fell asleep so cold in a daze.
One night, Jun Xu suddenly thought of something.
Agarwood Pavilion, there are two places in this palace, one is the easternmost Agarwood Pavilion, and the other is the westernmost dust chamber Pavilion.
It reads the same as the two water pavilions, but most people will default to the former.
After all, the latter's dust chamber water pavilion once had people dead and unlucky, so fewer people went there, and no one cared about it, and now it has become a ruin.
It's just that there are people who will clean regularly.
In the middle of the night, Jun Xu suddenly had a thought, and he wanted to go to the dust room and water pavilion tomorrow morning to have a look.
Soon, the sky was still bright, Jun Xu had already gotten down, and as soon as he got dressed and opened the door, he happened to see Ah San guarding the door.
Because the door opened, Ah San leaned against the door, and fell directly to the place due to inertia.
Woke up suddenly, opened his eyes, raised his head and glanced at Jun Xu, rubbed his eyes, and yawned, "Eighth prince? You got up so early? ”
"How are you sleeping here?" Jun Xu frowned.
Ah San's face was full of innocent smiles, "I'm worried that something will happen to the Eighth Prince, so Ah San will stay outside the door." ”
Jun Xu didn't say anything, raised his feet and walked out.
Seeing this, Ah San hurriedly got up, "Eighth Prince, where are you going?" ”
"Dust Chamber."
Hearing this, Ah San hurriedly followed, "Are you going to go now?" Wasn't it already arranged yesterday? ”
"The westernmost dust chamber and water pavilion." Jun Xu replied lightly.
Hearing this, Ah San suddenly realized, as if he understood something, "Oh yes, there are two water pavilions in the palace that read the same, and it is possible that Miss Xiao Nan also went to the one in the west." ”
Seeing that he still remembered, Jun Xu didn't speak again, and strode straight to the dust chamber water pavilion.
I haven't been to this place for a long time, and Jun Xu is still a little strange.
After all, this water pavilion doesn't seem to have been here since he can remember, but he heard the older generation talk about having such a water pavilion, because people have died, and now that place is even more pitiful with fewer people, so more people say that when they go to this water pavilion, they think of the agarwood pavilion in the east.
However, the place looks like it was just cleaned a while ago, and there is not much dust to tell.
But it still looks a little eerie, with a cool breeze.
Ah San grabbed Jun Xu's sleeve and stepped forward tremblingly.
Jun Xu turned his head to look at Ah San, who was glued to him, and couldn't help sighing, but he didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.
This kind of place, will Yun Ruonan be here?
"Eight, Eighth Prince, are you sure Miss Xiao Nan is here?" A timid inquiry came from beside him.
"Not sure."
Listening to the Eighth Prince's answer, Ah San didn't say anything more, just swallowed his saliva and looked around.
Timid is a little small, and when I think of the death of people in this place, I can't help but be even more timid.
"Eight, the eighth prince...... Do you feel that it's cold ...... here" The more he walked inside, Ah San whispered, looking back from time to time, "It's a little cold......"
Hearing this, Jun Xu also felt it later.
"Eight, the eighth prince...... Do you think it's haunted? ”
Finally, listening to Ah San's words, Jun Xu's brows finally furrowed, and his tone was a little cold, "Shut up, what nonsense!" ”
When Ah San heard this, he hurriedly closed his mouth, for fear that his master would not be happy to leave him alone here to feed the lonely souls and wild ghosts.
After walking for a while, Jun Xu called, "Xiao Nan? ”
screamed several times in a row, but there was still no response, which made him wonder if there was really no one here.
There is an end ahead, and there is simply no place to go on.
Could it be that he is really not here, is he thinking wrong?
Thinking of this, my train of thought suddenly broke again.
Jun Xu looked a little irritable.
I turned around and was about to go back, but I happened to step on something.
Paused and looked down at the ground carefully, Ah San couldn't help but be confused, "What, what's wrong?" ”
There was grass on the ground, and there seemed to be something hidden in the grass, Jun Xu reached out and dialed it, and found that it was a hairpin.
This is a woman's hairpin, and it ...... I saw Yun Ruonan wear it before.
