After several searches, they found nothing, so they had to go back to report to Xing Tianze.

And Zhu'er has been reluctant to leave, she has been kneeling on the shore, sobbing, tears keep dripping down.

No matter how much the secret guard persuaded her, she was reluctant to leave, because she didn't believe it, Tao Mingxi disappeared like this.

At this time, Xing Tianze was in the study and didn't know what he was writing, and suddenly a secret guard came out of nowhere.

The guard was half-kneeling on the ground, head bowed, hands raised, hunched.

"What?" Xing Tianze didn't raise his head, and asked lightly.

"Lord, just now when the princess went out of the house to play, she encountered a group of robbers and the princess accidentally fell into the water, and now there is no trace, we are looking around in the lake, but we have not seen the princess, and now I ask the princess to decide."

As soon as the secret guard's words fell, Xing Tianze's brows furrowed tightly, and the pen in his hand paused.

The ink on the tip of the pen dripped on the white rice paper, and he naturally had no time to care about it at this time, so he hurriedly threw the paper on the rice paper and strode out.

"You need to keep looking, and I'll watch for the rest."

Xing Tianze said as he walked, and after leaving the study, the secret guard behind him had already disappeared without a trace.

He hurriedly arranged for the housekeeper to find a large number of housekeepers and guards, and hurried towards the lake.

When the pedestrians on the street saw this battle, they couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

After all, Xing Tianze is very low-key every time he goes out, and it is the first time he has taken a large number of people to the suburbs like this.

When they came to the lake, Pearls was still on her knees and weeping, and she didn't know where she had come from so many tears.

When he heard the footsteps behind him, he thought it was Tao Mingxi back, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was Xing Tianze who came with his family and guards.

"Lord Wang, you punish Zhu'er, it's all Zhu'er's fault, if you do a good job of looking at the princess Niangniang, if you don't listen to the dissuasion of the princess Niangniang when you make the door, and bring a few family members or micro-business, it won't happen today."

Zhu'er kowtowed as she spoke, looking at her sincere appearance, Xing Tianze did not intend to punish her.

Although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, he knew that Zhu'er was very important to Tao Mingxi.

"Okay, there's nothing for you here, you can go back, and when you go back, go to the housekeeper to get the punishment yourself."

After finishing speaking, he didn't continue to look at Zhu'er, but arranged for his family and guards to go into the water to search for Tao Mingxi's traces.

At this time, he was very worried in his heart, because he didn't believe that Tao Mingxi was gone like this, she was such a bony person, and this bit of lake water should not be difficult for her.

But he didn't understand, if she was okay, where was he now? Why don't you go back to the palace?

His heart throbbed, and he didn't know when he had fallen so close to this woman.

Now it seems that she has occupied a very important place in her heart.

After receiving the order, the family and the guards searched for Tao Mingxi's figure in the lake, but then they couldn't find it and drained the lake.

It wasn't until the lake was drained that they finally confirmed that Tao Mingxi was indeed not in the lake.

But where can she go without this lake?

Xing Tianze didn't understand, but he didn't believe that this incident was an accident.

Ping Tao Mingxi's skills could not have fallen into the water like this, there must have been some other factors at that time.

But he wasn't there at the time, so he didn't know what the situation was, and he had to go back and interrogate Zhu'er to be sure.

After knowing the result, he did not stay there any longer, and when he returned to the palace, it was getting late, and Zhu'er had already received the punishment from the butler at this time.

According to the rules of the palace, the housekeeper beat the pearl ten boards, and then fined him three months' moon.

Zhu'er has no regrets about this punishment, because she knows that the butler has shown mercy, and according to the rules of the palace, she will be beaten with a hundred boards and expelled from the palace.

But in fact, where can her delicate body withstand a hundred boards, and if the hundred boards come down, I'm afraid her life will be gone.

While she was recuperating in bed, a woman came outside the house.

"Sister Zhu'er, the prince asked you to go to the front hall."

When Zhu'er heard this, she hurriedly rolled off the bed with a spirit.

There must be news of the princess, otherwise how could the prince call her.

She was excited, but also worried and afraid.

Because she knew that no one could live underwater for that long, it was Tao Mingxi's body that they found.

She stood up tremblingly, and the wound on her ass was pulled at the moment, making him grin hoarsely.

But the pain didn't stop her, she cleaned herself up, and limped down to the antechamber.

At this time, Xing Tianze was already sitting on the main seat in the front hall, with a cup of tea in his hand.

After seeing Zhu'er coming, her cold gaze shot straight at her.

At this time, in a dark room in Su Mansion, a delicate person was wet and tied to a cross.

Isn't this person the missing Tao Mingxi?

At this time, her breathing was a little weak, she looked very embarrassed, her clothes were soaked, and she still hadn't woken up.

Suddenly, there was a creak not far away, the sound of the door being opened, and then it was slammed shut.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and several people came to the darkroom.

"Master, do you think this is the person you want?" A strong man pointed at Tao Mingxi, who was tied to the cross, looked at Father Su and asked.

Because the light in the darkroom was not very good, he couldn't see it very clearly, so he took two steps forward and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Tao Mingxi who he wanted.

"It's this person, you did a good job this time, and I will definitely reward you heavily." Father Su looked at the strong man with a smile on his face and said, "By the way, have you already spread the news that you were asked to spread?"

"It has already been spread according to the master's orders, presumably it has reached Xing Tianze's ears at this time." The strong man said with a smile.

"Good, good! You've done a great job this time, and it's your reward. So saying, he took out a small box from his sleeve.

When the strong man saw him handing it over, he hurriedly stepped forward and carefully opened the box, and saw that it contained a golden gold ingot.

He took out one casually and put it on his teeth and bit it hard, and sure enough, it was true, and he immediately smiled without his eyebrows.
