Shen Qian suddenly thought of Chen Jingfeng, and with hope in his heart, he hurried to the medicine village.

Chen Jingfeng looked at him with an anxious look on his face, a little surprised, "What's wrong?" Can you be in such a hurry? ”

Shen Qian looked at the courtyard and asked anxiously, "Is Xiao Ran here with you?"

"No, she hasn't been here since you sent Wei Xue over last time, what's wrong?"

The hope in Shen Qian's heart was extinguished in an instant, and his face became extremely bad, Chen Jingfeng's face turned pale when he saw this, "What's wrong?" But what happened to Xiaoran? ”

"Three days ago, she sent me the evidence and then went back to Fenghua Xueyue Building, saying that she was going to clean up, so as not to leave things to be checked, I have been busy for the past few days, and I didn't get free until today, who knew that I went to her house and learned that she had not returned."

Chen Jingfeng was shocked when he heard this, "What? She didn't go back, she didn't come to me, Xiaoran is a sensible girl, she will never say goodbye without saying goodbye, she must have been taken away. ”

"Who will take her?"

Shen Qian was also thinking about this question, "I have already asked Qingfeng to go to Fenghua Xueyue Tower to investigate, hoping to have clues." ”

Chen Jingfeng nodded, looking at Shen Qian's self-blame and guilt-reliant appearance, he couldn't bear it, this was the first time he had seen Shen Qian look so depressed.

"Let's go, it's useless to be in a hurry now, let's go in first, and wait for Qingfeng to find out the news before making plans."

Shen Qian nodded, and entered the Zhuangzi with Chen Jingfeng, and when Nishang saw them coming, he immediately went to the kitchen, prepared hot tea and sent it to the front hall, and then retreated.

Wei Xue was sitting in the inner courtyard, and when she heard the sound of the front yard, she also walked out, just in time to see Ni Shang walking back with a tray, she called out to Ni Shang, "Sister Ni Shang, are you a guest?" ”

Nishang nodded, "Shen Gongzi is here, and he is discussing things with Brother Chen in the front hall. ”

Wei Xue nodded, her heart jumped, she had been in Zhuangzi for more than a month, except for Shen Qian who came once when she first came, and she hadn't seen her since, and when she heard him coming, she couldn't help but feel excited.

She thought for a moment and walked towards the front hall, where she glanced at her, stopped talking, and finally shook her head and went to the kitchen.

Wei Xue walked to the front hall, and saw that the two of them were not very good, and her heart tightened, she knew that she was afraid that it was a little bad time to come at this time, but she had already come, and she still had to go in hard.

"Brother Chen, Shen Gongzi is here? What about my sister, can I come with Shen Gongzi? ”

It's okay not to say it, as soon as she said this, Shen Qian's face became even worse, and Chen Jingfeng glanced at her, "Xiaoran she is missing, and now we are trying to find a way to find her." ”

Wei Xue was also shocked when she heard this, "How can this be?" ”

Chen Jingfeng sighed and didn't speak, Shen Qian ignored her, she was a little embarrassed, but she was more worried about Meng Xiaoran in her heart, so she stood aside, hoping to know more news.

After a while, Qingfeng hurried over, and when he came in, he paused when he saw Wei Xue, Shen Qian glanced at him and said, "Say it."

"My subordinates have checked, there was nothing abnormal in the night of Fenghua Xueyue Lou three days ago, but there is news in the past two days."

"What's the news?" Shen Qian raised his eyes to look at him.

Qingfeng replied, "Miss Zidai and her personal guard, Miss Ruyi, are missing."

A glimmer flashed in Shen Qian's eyes, and he glanced at Chen Jingfeng, "Zidai is the person of the Five Princes, could it be that Xiaoran was arrested by the Five Princes?" Chen Jingfeng asked with some confusion.

Shen Qian frowned and shook his head, "No, the five princes have now been demoted to concubines, which means that he didn't know about the matter in advance, so it is impossible for him to send someone to arrest them." ”

"Who could that be?"

"Whether it's the fifth prince or not, he still has to check on his side." Shen Qian said and looked at Qingfeng, "You go and check the Five Princes' faction, those people have been abnormal in private these days, everyone has to check, and no one can be let go!" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, the five princes are already on the way to exile now, you also send someone to follow them to see if you find it, and the Yiguo merchant, see if there are any accomplices......"

Chen Jingfeng looked at Shen Qian's solemn expression, but he was no longer as decadent and desperate as he had just now, and he was sure that Shen Qian would be able to get Meng Xiaoran back.

But Shen Qian was very panicked in his heart, he had a faint premonition, Meng Xiaoran had already left Yujing City, and now that the earth is big, how difficult is it to find her?

On the same day, the heads of the Shen family's businesses in various places received two portraits, a woman who was in charge of the country and the city, a woman wearing a veil, and a letter from the master, asking them to investigate the traces of the women in the painting.

Meng Xiaoran also felt that recently, when the carriage entered and left the city, it had to be interrogated for a long time, and those guards guarding the city would raise the curtain and look at the two of them at the paper in their hands.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but jump in her heart, who are those people looking for? Is it looking for yourself?

She wanted to speak, but suddenly found that she couldn't make a sound, she looked at Zidai, at this time she changed her appearance, dressed as a woman, and her face was also disguised, and she couldn't see her previous appearance at all, and then recalled that Zidai suddenly fed her a glass of water just now, and understood in her heart that there must be medicine in the water, so that she couldn't speak.

Meng Xiaoran's eyes shone with resentment, and when she left the city, Zidai looked at her and smiled, "The girl was offended, now that the city is strictly investigated, the portraits of the two of us are posted everywhere, I have no choice but to make this decision, and I can only wronged you from now on." ”

Meng Xiaoran understood when she heard this, it must have been Shen Qian who asked her to find them, but now they are on the road overnight, and it has been three days, but it is just a break when passing by the inn, Zidai will go down to buy some dry food, but she never lets herself go down, she is now weak, drowsy every day, and there are too few times when she is awake, it is basically impossible for her to escape, and now it seems that she can only resign herself to fate.

Meng Xiaoran was a little desperate, a feeling of dizziness hit her, she couldn't hold it anymore and slipped off the wall, and fell asleep again.

Along the way, Meng Xiaoran spent time in a coma, and when he went out of the city, the carriage was always stopped, and Zidai said to the guards who were inspecting: "Official, this is my sister, she is seriously ill, and now we just want to hurry home and see my parents for the last time......"

The guard glanced at the sleeping woman lying there, saw that she was different from the person in the portrait, and then at the woman sitting in the carriage, and finally waved his hand to let the carriage pass.

Because of the blockage, the carriage's journey slowed down, and even though it was a day and night, the carriage finally reached its destination after half a month.

When Meng Xiaoran woke up again, she finally didn't feel the constant bumps, what caught her eyes was the quaint silk brocade, she sat up with her body propped up, her headache was splitting, but there was no longer the previous dizziness, and her body was no longer weak, it seemed that the effect of the medicine in her body had been resolved.

She stretched out her hand and pressed the throbbing forehead, and then looked around the room, this room seemed to be made of bamboo, and she could smell the scent of bamboo, and the ornaments were simple but elegant, what kind of place was this?

Meng Xiaoran lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and found that the clothes on her body had changed, she picked up the coat hanging on the side, walked around the screen and walked out, she saw tea on the table, and immediately walked over and poured herself a cup of tea, swallowed the warm tea, and the whole person was much more comfortable.

She put down the teacup and walked to the door to open the door, into the eyes of the old green bamboo forest, no wonder she smelled the fragrance of bamboo, she looked around, saw many bamboo houses in the distance, aside from the current situation, this is a paradise.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Meng Xiaoran looked to the left and saw a woman coming from a distance, it was Zidai.

When she got closer, she nodded to Meng Xiaoran, "The girl is awake?" I was offended a lot before, and I hope the girl won't be surprised. ”

Meng Xiaoran hooked her lips and didn't speak, but looking at Zidai's eyes, she revealed her dissatisfaction, Zidai walked up with the corners of her skirt with both hands, and smiled at her, "What's the discomfort when the girl wakes up?" ”

Meng Xiaoran frowned, wondering in her heart, she looked at Zidai with vigilance in her eyes, "When I go to see your master, there is always a reason to arrest me here, right?" ”

Zi Dai smiled, "The master is not here now, and he will come back in two days, and the master has instructed us to take good care of the girl." ”

Meng Xiaoran sneered silently, what is the use of doing such superficial work when he arrests people here?

She looked around, and suddenly walked out of the house, and Zidai immediately asked, "Where is the girl going?"

Meng Xiaoran stood on the steps of the bamboo house and turned her head to look at her, "What?" It's all on your territory, and you're still afraid that I'll run away? Is Miss Zidai so unconfident in your guards? ”

Zidai's face flashed unnaturally, but she quickly returned to normal, she smiled and stepped forward, "I'm afraid that the girl doesn't know this place when she first arrives, can Zidai lead the way in front?" ”

Lead the way? It's just that she was afraid that she would run away, Meng Xiaoran had no objection, and Zidai walked down behind her, standing beside her to lead the way.

"This area is our place, and there is a poisonous miasma around the bamboo forest, and if no one leads it, you will definitely die." Zidai mentioned it casually, but Meng Xiaoran understood that she was telling herself not to think about escaping, otherwise she would definitely die.

She didn't speak, but looked around, it was early afternoon, and the sun was shining through the dense bamboo forest, casting mottled shadows on the trees, and a gust of wind passed by, and the shadows on the ground kept swaying, like dancing elves.

Everything here looks so beautiful, a beautiful afternoon, warm sunshine, trees swaying in the wind, if Zi Dai doesn't say it, who can know that behind this seemingly calm and beautiful thing is hidden murder.

Meng Xiaoran walked slowly behind Zidai, as if he was really enjoying the scenery, and when he came to a secluded place, Meng Xiaoran suddenly made a quick move to knock out Zidai on the side, and was about to turn around and leave, but at some point two people appeared in front of him.

"Girl, please come back."

Meng Xiaoran turned around and walked back, she didn't really want to leave, but just to test the guards here, it seemed that she guessed correctly, it was not so easy to escape, and I don't know how many strong guards with strong martial arts were hidden around here.

She was a little puzzled, these people, including that Zidai, seemed to be very polite to herself, why?
