In a courtyard in the capital, Qin Ling sat on a rattan chair in the room, looking a little anxious.

"Haven't you found Shi Yao yet?"

Hearing his question, a man in black standing in front of him immediately lowered his head and said with a face full of shame: "Master, it is the subordinates who are not doing well, please give the subordinates a little more time, the subordinates will definitely find Princess Shi Yao." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lingjue sighed, didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to the man in black, "Go down." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired." Hearing the sound of "brushing", the man in black immediately disappeared in front of Qin Lingjue.

Now it has been almost ten days since he entered Beijing, but after so many days, he still hasn't found any whereabouts of Shi Yao, which makes Qin Ling definitely a little anxious.

Because he was worried that Shi Yao might ...... has already encountered an accident, otherwise it would never have been so unheard from, and the entire capital was about to be rummaged by him, except for ......

Well?

Qin Lingjue suddenly thought of something, these days, his subordinates searched the entire capital and found no trace of Shi Yao, except for the Jin State Palace, they didn't send anyone to look for it, could it be ...... Shi Yao was trapped in the palace?

Thinking of this, Qin Lingjue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately called his subordinates in front of him again, telling them not to search in the capital anymore, but to find a way to sneak into the palace to find Shi Yao's whereabouts.

Seeing his subordinates take the order to leave, Qin Lingjue sighed, hoping that this time there would be a little clue about Shi Yao.

On the other hand, the envoys from Beiqiang who stayed in the capital of the Jin Kingdom found that Qin Lingxiao had not found the whereabouts of his princess for a long time, and they were also a little anxious, afraid that something would happen to the princess, and the emperor of Beiqiang would not let them go, so he immediately reported the disappearance of the princess back to Beiqiang.

and also added oil and vinegar, knocking all the pots of the princess's disappearance on the head of Qin Lingxiao, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom.

When Emperor Beiqiang learned of this, he was really furious, and immediately sent a letter to Qin Lingxiao, asking him to find out the princess within five days, otherwise he would send troops to Jinguo.

Before receiving the documents from Emperor Beiqiang, Qin Lingxiao was still sleeping with Liu Yanran, but after being woken up by Liu Zhong, he was still very angry, and just wanted to get angry, he heard Liu Zhong say: "Your Majesty, the documents from Beiqiang." ”

Well?

Hearing this, all of Qin Lingxiao's wake-up anger suddenly dissipated, and only then did he remember the disappearance of Princess Beiqiang, there was no way, the recent days have been too chaotic, plus Shen Ruohan didn't find Princess Shi Yao, so he didn't dare to mention it in front of him, causing him to completely forget about it.

At this time, seeing the ultimatum issued by Emperor Beiqiang, Qin Lingxiao suddenly sobered up, and all his mood was suddenly gone, and he said a word to Liu Yanran, and immediately rushed to the imperial study.

And Liu Zhong followed behind Qin Lingxiao, but before leaving, he glanced in the direction of Liu Yanran, and it happened that Liu Yanran also looked in his direction, and the eyes of the two met in the air, which immediately caused a spark to fly.

After arriving at the imperial study, Qin Lingxiao said angrily: "What about Shen Ruohan? Call him! ”

He remembered that he had ordered Shen Ruohan a few days ago to find out Princess Shi Yao for him within one day, but now that so much time has passed, not only Princess Shi Yao has no shadow, but even he has never appeared in front of him, which is simply unreasonable!

Hearing this, Liu Zhong immediately instructed the eunuch at the door: "Hurry up and call Lord Shen over, the emperor wants to see him." ”

After a while, Shen Ruohan rushed over from home, and seeing that he didn't even wear an official hat and was short of breath, he thought that as soon as he received the will, he hurried over.

Seeing this, Qin Lingxiao's expression softened a little, but he still said angrily: "I asked you to find Princess Beiqiang, where is she now?" ”

Hearing Qin Lingxiao's questioning, Shen Ruohan's scalp was numb, if he found Princess Beiqiang, how could he not report it until now?

But now is not the time to think about this, how to get through this is the right thing.

"Your Majesty, Wechen hasn't found Princess Beiqiang yet......" Hearing this, Qin Lingxiao was just about to get angry, but he heard Shen Ruohan say again: "But Wechen already has some clues, Your Majesty, give Wechen a few more days, and Wechen will definitely be able to find the princess." ”

Qin Lingxiao narrowed his eyes, looked condescendingly at Shen Ruohan kneeling in front of him, and said coldly: "I will give you three more days at most, if I still don't see Princess Shi Yao after three days, I will use you to fill the anger of Emperor Beiqiang!" ”

Hearing this, the cold sweat on Shen Ruohan's forehead was about to come down, and knowing that he had passed this hurdle, he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Weichen will never let the emperor down again." ”

"Humph!" Qin Lingxiao snorted coldly, turned around and left the imperial study.

After he left, Shen Ruohan stood up and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Liu Zhong, who was lagging behind, took the opportunity to come over and give grace, "Lord Shen, don't worry, the slave will help you." ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruohan was a little surprised, he and Liu Zhong have never had any friendship, and even had some small friction between the two in order to compete for favor in Qin Lingxiao, but he didn't expect him to be in trouble at this time, the other party not only did not fall into the ground, but was even willing to help him.

"Thank you Father-in-law Liu for that."

He hurriedly thanked Liu Zhong, like Shen Ruogu, he was also very aware of Liu Zhong's ability, and with his help, it would be easier to find Princess Shi Yao.

And just when everyone was anxious about Shi Yao's disappearance, on the other side, Jiang Feng's alchemy room was very lively.

Originally, there was only Jiang Feng in the alchemy room, but at this time, an uninvited guest was occupied.

"Jiang Feng, you can teach me the art of alchemy, this princess will definitely have a retribution after I go back!"

This person who calls herself a princess is none other than the missing Princess Shi Yao!

Looking at the sweet and lovely Princess Shi Yao in yellow clothes in front of him, Jiang Feng only felt bored, because since the other party had been relying on him, he had been tirelessly pestering him every day to teach him the art of alchemy.

However, no matter how many times he said it, this technique must not be passed on to outsiders except for the disciples of his faction, Princess Shi Yao didn't listen to it, and she had to teach him.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party is beautiful and noble, he will definitely not be able to provoke him, he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

"Princess, the art of alchemy can't be passed on to you, and this must be learned from a young age, and you can't learn it in ten years."

"Really? You didn't lie to me? ”

Shi Yao frowned, a little unconvinced.

"Of course, how dare you deceive the princess?" Jiang Feng said helplessly.
