The rainy season has not yet passed, the wind at night is a little cool, and the overhead is still overcast, and there is no moon or starlight in sight.

Shen Cheng walked behind him, and when he learned of Nangong Jue's intentions, his hand holding the handle of the knife became tighter and tighter, once Lin Ling'er fell into Nangong Jue's hands, then the child would definitely not be protected, if the child couldn't be saved, would Lin Ling'er still be alive?

He understands his master, in order to achieve his goal, Nangong will do everything, just like when he chose to conceal and ignore Lin Yuer's death, he can kill people without blinking, and he can not recognize his flesh and blood affection, because he has never been loved since he was a child, so now that he has someone he likes, he will definitely protect this love desperately, what king's order is difficult to disobey, if he can't let him get this love, he won't care about what king's life.

For no reason, the scene of Lin Ling'er holding the White Jade Qingfeng Sword with her bare hands jumped into his mind again, and her fierce and stubborn appearance actually made him feel distressed.

And at the beginning, she stopped Tuoba Jiuxiao from killing him, and her firm eyes were still in front of her.

The prince broke into the Ye Mansion overnight and went straight to Bei Yi Pavilion, at this time the Ye Mansion had already entered a bedtime state, and their sudden appearance broke the original peace.

The housekeeper Zhang Jian rubbed his sleepy eyes and put on a piece of clothing and came out to ask, but was brutally pushed to the ground by his people.

Zhang Jian felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ran to inform Mrs. Ye.

On the other side, none of the people sent by Nangong Qingfeng to guard Beiyi Pavilion could leave the Ye Mansion, and they were all captured by Nangong Jue's people, so as not to go to the palace to deliver the letter.

"Shut up for me, whoever dares to speak out, don't be killed."

Nangong Jue looked at the pitch-black Bei Yige and said to the guards.

These people naturally didn't dare to speak, whoever dared to offend the prince would be self-defeating, but if Bei Yige was lost, they would not be able to explain to the lord of the country, and it would be a dead end.

At this time, Shen Cheng, who had been following behind him, suddenly paused and glanced at the head of the guards.

The head of the guard received the hint and hurriedly knelt down towards Nangong Jue's back:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I am here to guard Lin Ling'er on the order of the lord of the country, if there is anything missing, I can't afford it, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare my life!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spares his life!"

Led by him, everyone else also knelt down one after another, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Unbeknownst to him, this sound was extremely harsh in the dark night.

Nangong never expected that they would dare to beg for mercy, such a sound would inevitably alarm the people in Beiyi Pavilion and give them a chance to escape.

The tall and thin back suddenly stood still, the night wind blew the corners of his cyan robe, there was no light, and his back looked like a black mountain, which made people's hearts feel depressed.

The guards were still begging for mercy frequently, at this time in the darkness he was already furious, casually pulled out the saber on the guard next to him, the white light flashed, the head who took the lead in begging for mercy fell down in response, and a rod of blood spurted out of the cut artery splashed directly on the face of the person next to him, so that the person was also trembling, and the person who was cut fell to the ground, twitching all over, and there was no movement after a while.

No one dared to raise a voice anymore, wasn't such an example enough for them to appreciate the cruelty and ruthlessness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Shen Cheng's heart tightened:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they are people sent by the lord of the country, I'm afraid ......"

Nangong Jue snorted coldly:

"This person is guilty of the following crimes, and he dares to be disrespectful to the prince, and there is no mercy for killing!"

The pure timbre was now encased in a thick layer of blood, with a salty taste.

Shen Cheng felt a little guilty, but if he could save Lin Ling'er in this way, he could only say sorry to the dead man.

didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow Nangong Jue and continue to walk towards Beiyi Pavilion, but he prayed in his heart, hoping that Lin Ling'er would not sleep too hard, hoping that she would hear the movement just now and come up with a way to deal with Nangong Jue, and that was the only thing he could do for her.

The staircase of Bei Yi Pavilion was built in the attic, and Nangong Jue gently pushed open the door of Bei Yi Pavilion, he didn't want to make too much noise, he just wanted to take Lin Ling'er away quietly, he didn't want to disturb others, and he didn't want to scare his Ling'er.

The maids all lived in the maid's room next to the other pavilion, and they didn't dare to come out even if they heard the sound at this time, such a battle was already terrifying.

The attic was very quiet, there was no light, Shen Cheng took out the fire fold, lit a candle, and illuminated the stairs, Nangong Jue went upstairs carefully step by step, until Lin Ling'er's boudoir door, the whole process did not make a sound.

Looking at the two closed doors, he didn't hesitate and pushed them open.

The door creaked, and he took the candle from Shen Cheng's hand and stepped in.

The candle struck his shadow against the wall, the shadow was a little distorted, and there was a circle of light around it, and the shadow moved cautiously until it stopped before Lin Ling'er's bed collapsed.

However, when the beating candlelight shrouded the bed inside, he was surprised to find that there was no one under the messy bedding.

"Palm Lamp!"

He snapped, unable to hide his anger.

Shen Cheng responded, and hurriedly found the candles in the house and lit them all.

When the room is bright, you only need to scan it with your eyes to see that there is no one in the room at all.

"Your Highness, how is this—how is this possible?"

Shen Cheng immediately began to rummage through all corners of the room, and the simple furnishings told him that there was no place to hide people here, but he still rummaged through them.

"Your Highness, no, people are not here."

Nangong Jue smashed his fist on the tabletop, and in an instant, the tabletop broke into two, and the tea set on the table fell to the ground with the split table, making a cracking sound.

"The bed is still warm, she just escaped."

Nangong Jue gritted his teeth and said.

Shen Cheng went over and lifted the quilt, knocked on the bedboard, pushed open the windows and looked down, and came back to say:

"Your Highness, this is the attic, even if she wants to run, she can't jump, right?"

"Call Mrs. Ye to see me!"

At this time, Mrs. Ye had already received a message from the housekeeper Zhang Jian and rushed to Beiyige.

Before leaving, Ye Shangshu specially told her that she must take care of Lin Ling'er, but she is a woman, how can she fight the prince?

Just as she was about to step on the stairs, Nangong Jue happened to come down from above, and Mrs. Ye hurriedly retreated and saluted him.

Nangong Jue walked down the stairs, stared at Mrs. Ye's eyes, pulled out a weird smile, and asked:

"Mrs. Ye, where did you hide Lin Ling'er?"

Mrs. Ye was shocked when she heard this, and raised her head to face Shangnangong's cold eyes, and there was shock in her eyes that could not be concealed:

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what did you, what did you say? Isn't she supposed to be on it? ”

Nangong Jue laughed angrily, and the smile on his lips expanded a little:

"Is that true?"

Mrs. Ye nodded:

"Naturally, it's true, it's quite cold tonight, and the courtiers specially came to add a quilt to Ling'er before going to bed, it's true, it's impossible for Ling'er to leave Beiyige. What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also saw it, there were so many guards outside Bei Yige, how could Ling'er leave without being known? ”

"Okay, in that case, you go up and find her for me!"

Nangong shouted loudly.

Mrs. Ye was so frightened by his attitude that she trembled, thinking that Lin Ling'er must not be on it, but where she went, she didn't know, so she remembered the secret passage of Ye Mansion, which could disappear without a trace in such a short period of time, and there was no other way but to take the secret passage.

But apart from Ye Shangshu and her, no one else knows about the secret passage, it seems that Ye Shangshu really attaches great importance to Lin Ling'er, so he told her about the secret passage.

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to tell Sù Nangong about the top secret Dao, this is the secret of the Ye Mansion, in case of emergency, no one will open it until it is absolutely necessary.

Nangong Jue is now aggressive, how can she keep Ye Mansion?

Mrs. Ye clutched her handkerchief tightly with both hands, and went up to take a look first, delaying the time.

"Yes, the courtiers will go."

Mrs. Ye said, lowered her head and bypassed Nangong Jue, and moved up the stairs with the support of the maid Baishuang.

In the attic, not a single qiē is intact, and the entrance and exit of the secret passage cannot be seen at all, this is where Ye Bu's genius lies, and in the entire Daegu country, no one will design the building so wonderfully except him.

"Madam, is that little Zheng Zi gone?"

The hoarfrost reminded in Mrs. Ye's ear in a low voice.

How could Mrs. Ye not know that the little Zheng Zi stayed by Lin Ling'er's side during the day, never leaving an inch, and slept outside the door at night, guarding her day and night, and must have fled with her at this time.

She was a little relieved, but fortunately, someone took care of Ling'er.

"Madam, this matter is too strange, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, Miss disappeared, and insisted that you hid Miss, I think he hid it almost the same, he knew that Miss's identity was very important, he was afraid that the lord of the country would blame him, and he wanted to rely on Madame's head! At this time, the adults are not there, and there is no one to support you, what are you going to do? ”

Bai Shuang had a lot of eyes, and immediately made such an association, at this time, no matter whether she was thinking about right or wrong, it gave Mrs. Ye a wake-up call.

"Let's go."

Mrs. Ye calmed down, said softly, and turned around and went downstairs.

The hall downstairs was already brightly lit, and Nangong Jue Zheng ordered someone to search the inside and outside of the Bie Yi Pavilion, but there was no here, so he asked someone to search the entire Ye Mansion.

Mrs. Ye came downstairs, walked quietly in front of Nangong Jue, and said without humility or arrogance:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtiers think that His Royal Highness should not bother with it."

Nangong Jue's eyes narrowed, and he was already angry in his chest, and when he heard Mrs. Ye's words at this time, he was even more angry.

But Mrs. Ye is now the wife of Zhengerpin Shangshu after all, and she is Lin Ling'er's stepmother, and she is also the wife of Nangong Qingfeng's current henchman Ye Bu, he will not and cannot do anything to her.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said coldly:

"Oh, what does Mrs. Ye think?"

Mrs. Ye suddenly knelt down, her head lowered, her back was straight, and her gentle voice was very calm at the moment:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the little girl Ling'er has not left for a moment since she entered the Ye Mansion, if His Royal Highness does not trust the people in the Mansion, you can ask the guards sent by the Lord of the Kingdom, and they dare not deceive His Royal Highness the Prince. Ling'er's daily life is very dull, and the door is not entered, but today is different, with all due respect, His Royal Highness the prince is down, but Ling'er is missing, which ...... Is it a coincidence? ”
