Li Xingzhao hurried to the way to the Autumn Rain Pavilion in a hurry, while angrily angry at the servant, "How could this good person be gone?" What do you think of people? ”

The slave was also very aggrieved, and almost cried, "The little one has been guarding outside the young lady's house and never left, but who knew that the second young lady disappeared early the next morning." The little ones rummaged through the entire Hou Mansion and there was no trace of her! ”

Li Xingzhao didn't listen, and he held a fire in his heart. The person is gone, how can he explain to the prince? The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and yelled at the slave next to him, "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste!" ”

After arriving at the Autumn Rain Pavilion, all the slaves fell to their knees in panic, and Li Xingzhao hurriedly asked, "Have you found anyone?" ”

The slaves below looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Li Xingzhao was furious, and threw the flower pot next to him to the slave, and a sharp sound sounded in the Autumn Rain Pavilion.

"If you can't find the second miss, Ben Hou will let you accompany you to the funeral!"

The people fell on the ground and begged for mercy in mourning, and kept kowtowing their heads.

The servant at the head knelt in front of him with a sad face, "Master, now it's a foregone conclusion, and it won't help you let us be buried together!" It's better to report the matter to His Royal Highness the Prince, the second lady on the left and right is also his wife, and he should be in charge of this matter. ”

Li Xingzhao did not speak with a gloomy face, his face was also cloudy, and everyone knelt on the ground and did not dare to come out.

"You, report this matter to the prince." Li Xing looked at the slave who had just spoken, and his voice was cold.

The servant's eyes gradually appeared with joy, he kowtowed a few times in succession, and the excitement in his voice was uncontrollable, "Thank you, master!" Thank you, sir! The little ones will do it! ”

He stood up and ran out of the yard almost as if he were fleeing.

And the others who were not arranged were terrified and colorless.

Li Xingzhao was upset when he saw them, and his voice was deep, "If you neglect to take care of them, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." He paused, and everyone fell to the ground, their hearts raising their throats.

"Twenty rods for each man."

Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed excitedly, and their voices trembled, "Thank you for not killing!" Thank you for not killing! ”

At this time, the East Palace.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! The second lady of the Hou Mansion has disappeared! A palace man hurriedly ran in to report.

Chu Jinrong was having lunch, and after listening to the words of the palace people, he was secretly happy in his heart, he succeeded? He pretended to be shocked, put the chopsticks in his hand down, and sat up from the chair suddenly, "Why is the second miss missing?" ”

The palace man's face was anxious, "The slave doesn't know, it was reported by the entourage of Anyang Houfu!" Your Highness, the big wedding is coming, this ......"

Chu Jinrong's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the palace people were also shocked when they saw it, only to hear his cold voice, "Find!" Find it for me! Get her back no matter what! ”

"Yes!"

The palace people crawled out of the door.

So, when Chu Jinrong heard the news, he was so 'sad' that he fasted that day, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him.

On the other side, the Hou Mansion was in a hurry to find someone.

Li Xingzhao trembled and squirmed his lips, "You mean, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fasted that day after hearing that the second young lady had disappeared?" ”

The servant had a bitter face, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince's deep affection for the second young lady is even seen in the eyes of those of us who are subordinates." ”

Li Xingzhao's face was pale, and it was over...... If this matter is caused to the emperor, it will anger the emperor......

The more he thought about it, the more chills felt in his back, and after a while, his face was colorless, and he hurriedly spoke, "Quick! Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, and our Hou Mansion will go to find it ourselves, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be too worried! ”

"Don't worry." Chu Ci's gentle voice came in from outside, Li Xingzhao heard this familiar voice, and immediately stood up from the main seat and knelt down to greet him, "The minister has seen the second prince." ”

After Chu Ci helped him up, he laughed heartily, "I heard that Li Qiuchi is gone?" ”

Li Xingzhao cried with a sad face, "Back to the second prince, what you said is true." The people in our house have been found since early in the morning, and for a whole day, there has been no clue at all. ”

Chu Ci's voice was calm, "Hide this matter from the emperor and queen first, and this prince will help you find it." ”

Li Xingzhao suddenly had excitement floating on his face, with the help of the second prince to find it, he wouldn't be punished, right? His voice trembled with excitement, "Thank you, Second Prince!" ”

At the same time, Li Qiuchi was leisurely on the way to the Yuelai Inn, carrying a small burden on his back, his hair was flicked in a bun, and he was humming a song briskly.

She squinted her eyes and saw the cheers and shouts on the street mixed together, the crowd was crowded, all brightly dressed, and the comparison with her looked much shabby, although the dust of last night could not hide the light of the brocade clothes, so it attracted a lot of surprised eyes. She didn't pay attention to the eyes of others, and strode forward, walking for a long time, feeling that her throat was about to smoke.

"It's hot...... Isn't there a place to rest? She put her hands on her head to hide a shadow, and looked around, but she didn't see a shop where she could rest.

Suddenly, her gaze rested on a shop in the distance, the purchase inside was shabby, and it seemed out of place in the bustling town here. The shopkeeper was a plainly dressed woman, who seemed to be packing up something, and her face was full of sadness, and she sighed repeatedly. The four words of sweetwater shop on it are eye-catching, her eyes are bright, sweetwater shop! It just so happens that my mouth is dry when I walk on the road, and this place can also rest.

Li Qiuchi tightened the burden on his body and walked in slowly.

While cleaning up, the shopkeeper opened his mouth without raising his head, and his voice was cold and hard, "This shop is closed, the guest officer wants to drink sweet water and go to the next place." ”

Li Qiuchi was surprised in his heart, and looked around curiously, "Why can't you open it?" ”

The shopkeeper's hand to pack up his things paused, and sighed, "If the customers don't come, the business will be sluggish, and they will not be able to make ends meet for a long time." She saw that Li Qiuchi was indeed very tired after a long journey, so she poured her a bowl of sweet water.

She looked at the sweet water in front of her and smiled and bent her eyebrows, "Thank you." She slowly began to drink.

The shopkeeper's voice was filled with sorrow, "I'm afraid this shop won't be able to open, and if the guest officer wants to drink next time, he can only go elsewhere." With that, she sighed again.

"But looking at the guest officer's extraordinary clothes, he must not be an ordinary person, and he probably won't miss this vulgar sweet water."

Li Qiuchi put down the bowl and smiled with crooked eyes, "I'm worried about it, your sweet water is delicious, I like it very much." It's just—"

She looked at this shabby shop, and an idea flashed in her mind, and she immediately found a business opportunity. If...... If she can open this sweetwater shop, won't this money come in?

The shopkeeper listened to her words, and then she was gone, and she suddenly asked in confusion: "But what?" ”

In line with the psychology of not making money for nothing, she said with a righteous face, "Have you ever thought that if you change the formula, you will attract more customers?" ”
