Inside the county lord's mansion.

Jade woke up in a daze, only to find that she was lying on the ground of the small garden, the cold that swept in all directions made her shiver, she moved her feet, supported the ground with her hands, and barely got up.

The surroundings were still a familiar sight, and Jade rubbed her temples, the soreness coming from her limbs made her frown and gasp.

Why did you suddenly lie in the garden? Why is it so painful on my body, isn't I in the main hall? Why did you suddenly wake up here again?

The surroundings were quiet, and the jade who had just woken up reacted for a while before she completely went through the whole thing.

Since returning to the house on Xiaoman's order, she has inspected the rooms, greenhouses, study rooms, etc. in the house, and called the secret guards of the palace guards out to inquire, but she did not find any special circumstances.

But even so, she did not let her guard down, but went to Wangshu's room and prepared to be with the other party, so that she could be completely at ease. Later, after lunch, Wangshu said that he was sleepy, and Jade also helped him make the bed and watched Wangshu sleep,......

Thinking of this, Jade's eyes widened suddenly, her heart chuckled, and then she quickly ran towards Wangshu's courtyard.

She remembered that she had always been in Wangshu's yard, but now why did she come to the small garden for some reason? And the body is still so sore, especially in the temples, it hurts like pins and needles.

Running all the way to the courtyard where Wangshu lived, Jade didn't care about the headache, rushed in three steps and two steps, and saw the empty room, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Shizi?" Jade panicked and shouted while looking for it.

But dozens of voices passed, the house was still quiet, no one responded to her at all, and Jade never found Wangshu's figure.

The things in the house are all well placed, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also well stored, and even the quilt on the bed is neatly folded, if it weren't for Jade clearly remembering that she had served Wangshu to sleep before, she would almost suspect that she was dreaming!

No matter how you got to the garden, the most important thing is to find Wangshu first!

When Xiao Man and Lu Li were away, Wangshu would sometimes go to He Miao's room, and everyone in the house knew that the relationship between the two was good, so Jade didn't dare to delay too much, and immediately turned around and left, rushing to the backyard where He Miao lived.

"He Miao!" Jade shouted, "Is the prince here with you?" ”

He Miao in the house walked out and wondered: "No, the prince has never been here today." ”

Seeing that Jade was out of breath and his face was flushed, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

The prince was not in He Miao's room, and Jade's face became more and more ugly when she learned the truth, and the heart in her chest beat faster, Wangshu was lost, how should she explain to Mrs. and Grandpa Guo?!

Wangshu is a small child, where can he go?

"Emerald!"

Just when Jade was flustered, a low shout from Lu Li behind her pulled her back to her senses, she turned around in horror, and watched Lu Li walk towards her, and before the other party could speak, she knelt down with a pop.

Tears poured out uncontrollably, her body trembled away, she lay on the ground, felt Lu Li approaching, and then said tremblingly: "Grandpa Guo, the son... He is gone. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, He Miao let out a low snort, and although Lu Li did not say anything, his face was extremely ugly.

The quieter the surroundings, the more scared Jade became, she lay on the ground, her eyes only dared to stare at the floor tiles, her voice trembled, even though she was terrified in her heart, she still didn't forget to say the matter: "Grandpa Guo, the slave has been with the prince since he came back from the palace." After lunch, Shizi said that he was a little sleepy, so the servant made the bed and took care of Shizi to sleep, but then he ......"

Speaking of this, Jade trembled more and more, not only her body, but also her voice trembled, and she could barely speak.

At this time, Xiao Man also rushed over, she had already been to Wangshu's room, and after not seeing Wangshu again, she came directly to He Miao's courtyard, but she didn't expect to see the scene in front of her.

Jade knelt on the ground, trembling and telling the truth of the matter, He Miao looked surprised, and Lu Li stood aside with a solemn face, his hands clenched tightly.

"Emerald!" Xiao Man let out a low snort, trotted forward and squatted beside the other party, her face was already pale, but she still held on to the last glimmer of hope, she asked: "What about Wangshu, what about the son?" Where did Wangshu go? ”

Hearing this, Jade cried even more, "Madam... It's a minion, and the minion can't stand you......"

The last glimmer of hope in his heart was also shattered, and Xiao Man, who was squatting, suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he could no longer support it, and fell directly to the cold and hard ground.

Seeing this, Lu Li hurriedly squatted down to support Xiao Man, even though he was sad in his heart, he still comforted the other party in a low voice, and then looked at Jade, almost gritted his teeth and said, "What happened at that time, how could the prince lose it?" Say. ”

"The slave helped the prince to rest, obviously he saw it well, but then he didn't know what was going on......" Speaking of this, Jade herself didn't know what to say, she frowned, trying to remember, but she could only remember the scene when she woke up from the small garden floor.

Lu Li was right in front of her, and the powerful momentum shocked Jade, so that she had to control her emotions, forcibly suppressed the urge to cry, and said: "I don't know what's wrong, I just woke up on the ground of the small garden, and then the courtyard of the deceased son, there is no trace of the son of the world in the room....."

After speaking, Jade lay on the ground completely, and she didn't dare to gasp, let alone sobbed quietly.

After hearing all this, He Miao finally understood what happened, he said: "The county lord and the prince of the country, although I don't know who kidnapped the prince, but since the grandfather and the county lord came to Bei'an, there is no grudge against anyone, presumably those people are not taking away the son for revenge, it can be seen that the son of the world is not in danger of life now." ”

Having said that, but when Xiaoman heard it, it was still painful.

Her own son was kidnapped, his whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are unknown, and the true purpose of the other party's kidnapping of Wangshu has not been revealed, so many unknown circumstances, how can she feel at ease?

Compared with Xiao Man, Lu Li was more calm and calm, he wrapped his arms around Xiao Man's waist and said: "He Miao is right, Wang Shu is at least not in danger of life now, if Wang Shu was also taken away by a gang of bandits, then they should send a letter soon." ”

Whether it's for money or something else, Lu Li will definitely do his best to satisfy the other party so that his son can return safely.

As Lu Li said, after he and Xiao Man rushed back to the county lord's mansion one after another, the greenhouse on the outskirts really received another letter from the bandits.

It's strange to say, there are so many guards and secret guards present, and everyone's martial arts are very profound, but the strange thing is that no one saw where the letter came from, as if it appeared on the ground out of thin air.

Such a strange scene is exactly the same as the butler described before.

In the presence of the king, it was natural that the letters should be read by him first.

Li Lin presented the letter and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what is written on this letter?" Is it told the time of the transaction? ”

The situation is urgent, and he doesn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority.

The letter said, "After reading the letter, the king looked solemn and said: "The children of the county lord and the grandfather of the country were kidnapped by the bandits, and this time, the thieves asked for 500,000 taels, and the requirement was that the county lord personally sent the silver, and no one could bring it with him." ”

"Huh?!" The butler exclaimed, almost fainting.

In just one day, all the vegetables in the greenhouse were destroyed, the Huali team that was about to arrive in Bei'an City was robbed, Wang Youhe was also fed poison, and now, even Wangshu was kidnapped unknowingly.

Li Lin became more and more serious, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is obvious that this group of people is here for the county lord's family. ”

But the other party has come and gone without a trace, and has quietly achieved his goal, all the weaknesses of Xiaoman's side are held in the hands of the other party, so even if they know that they are coming for Xiaoman, but now, they can't come up with any effective and feasible strategies to stop it.

The king was so distressed and anxious that there was not even a charcoal basin in the house, but he was sweating anxiously.

Let's not mention his friendship with Xiaoman and Lu Li, just say that Donglan's Zhenguo Duke and Zhenguo Duchess have an accident in the country under his jurisdiction, and he can't explain to Donglan.

Not to mention that Wang Youhe is the daughter of Donglan's courtiers, and Na Wangshu, who was named the son of the world at a young age, and now he has been taken away with others, if this news reaches Donglan......

Just when the king was anxious, he suddenly thought of the little eunuch that Xiao Man mentioned to him when he was in the palace.

He immediately said that he wanted to go back to the palace first, Li Lin wanted to object, but after thinking about it, there is no better solution now, and those people can still send the letter here under the guard of many guards and secret guards, which means that he and Wang Shang's party are within the scope of those people's surveillance, and what the other party wants to do, it is simply easy.

Thinking of this, Li Lin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly said, "Minister, let's go prepare!" ”

"Don't forget to leave the guards here to guard it, the vegetables in the greenhouse have all been destroyed, and the greenhouse built here must not be destroyed again!" The king commanded.

"Yes!"

Under Li Lin's arrangement, half of the guards brought out of the palace by the king were left in the greenhouse and guarded the greenhouse with other secret guards, while the butler and pearl of the county lord's mansion were brought back by the king's team back to the city.

Fortunately, the king's journey back to the city was smooth and did not encounter other twists and turns.

After entering the city, a team of guards escorted the king back to the palace, while Li Lin went to the county lord's mansion with the butler, pearl, and the letter, ready to discuss the next step.
