"Well, yes, Daddy told me." Ye Ming said happily. Yan Haoxue also nodded, indicating that she also knew about it. "Now, the Emperor has ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly. But so far, the only clue we have is that there is a woman who has disappeared on this street at this near this point. Ling Xuanlan said, "It's a pity that I followed her footprints for a long time in the morning, but there were no clues. ”

"Is there anything I can do to help? I'm familiar with this place, and I might be able to find something you haven't noticed. Ye Minghuan volunteered. When Ling Xuanlan heard this, he immediately refused, "No, it's all girls of your age who are missing." You should leave this matter alone. His tone was resolute and unmistakable. Ye Minghuan nodded a little disappointed, thought about it again, raised his eyes and said to him, "If you need any help, remember to come to the Yingguo Mansion to find me." Seeing that she was so enthusiastic, Ling Xuanlan said helplessly, "You stay at home well, don't run around outside is the biggest help." After he finished speaking, he got up and said, "I still have something to do, you can go home early after drinking tea, and then go out when this matter is over." ”

Ye Minghuan and Yan Haoxue nodded, and when he saw that Ye Minghuan agreed, he went out to continue investigating the case. Yan Haoxue saw that Ling Xuanlan's eyes were all on Ye Minghuan from the time she entered the door to the time she went out, and she felt a little clear in her heart, a little bit of happiness, a little emotion and envy. It is clear that in this legend, His Royal Highness the Prince, who is not close to women and has a cold face to everyone, will also care about people, and there are times when he is tempted. Fortunately, since the prince has a good impression of Huanhuan, he may not become a political victim. What is emotional is that Huanhuan is as her name suggests, bright and cheerful, enthusiastic and happy. Anyone who sees it loves it. And what I envy is that I am not like her, and I can't be a cheerful and casual girl like her. As the only daughter in the family, she has to be calm and calm as an example. "It would be nice if I could be like her, maybe he will too, and he will have a good impression of me." She said with emotion in her heart.

"Sister Yan? What happened to you? Ye Minghuan saw that Yan Haoxue was a little stunned, and asked out loud. It's okay," Yan Haoxue came back to her senses and shook her head gently, "I see that there are fewer people on the street, let's go out for a walk and go back, right?" Ye Minghuan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's dangerous on the street, so it's better for us to go back early." Your spells are low, and you'll remember to follow me later. Ye Minghuan said seriously, and raised the sword in his hand again, "I'll protect you." ”

Yan Haoxue nodded, chuckled twice, and grabbed Ye Minghuan's hand, "Then it's okay, you protect me." Ye Minghuan also held her hand tightly, and after paying the bill, he dragged her to the street.

At this time, there were many fewer people on the streets, and many small stalls came out. The streets were shouting and selling. Yan Haoxue looked at both sides of the street curiously, and Ye Minghuan introduced to her like a few treasures, which store had delicious jewelry, which store had the best jewelry, and so on. Yan Haoxue wrote them down one by one, and said that she was going to wait for the disappearance case, so she and Ye Minghuan would have a good time shopping.

As the two walked and met, they met a troupe that played grievances and hatreds in the mortal world, and they couldn't move. Yan Haoxue had never seen such a folk troupe, she was fascinated by it, and gradually began to laugh with the crowd, and when she saw the sadness, she was sad along with the feelings in the play. Her cheeks were slightly red with excitement, her eyes were much more enlightened, sometimes uncomfortable, and even shed two tears, not at all like the Miss Houmen she knew. Seeing her like this, Ye Minghuan smiled with relief, "Maybe this is the truest appearance of Sister Yan, you don't have to suppress yourself, you can be like an ordinary woman, laugh when you're happy, cry when you're sad, and don't have to be formal." ”

Ye Minghuan saw that there was a sugar gourd seller next to him, thinking that Sister Yan had never eaten much, so he said to her, "Sister Yan, do you eat sugar gourds?" Because the troupe was a little noisy, Yan Haoxue couldn't hear clearly, and said loudly in Ye Minghuan's ear, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, do you eat sugar gourd?" Ye Minghuan also learned from her, lying in her ear and saying loudly. "Eat!" Yan Haoxue nodded excitedly towards Ye Minghuan. "Then you wait for me here!" Ye Ming said happily. Yan Haoxue didn't look at her either, just nodded, and continued to watch the play on tiptoe. Seeing her so devoted, Ye Minghuan laughed twice, and went to buy a sugar gourd.

She saw that there were many kinds of sugar gourds, so she picked them for a while, and finally picked a bunch of the most crystal clear and largest ones and bought them.

She trotted over with a sugar gourd, but unfortunately there was no Yan Haoxue there. She was a little strange, thinking that Sister Xu is Yan went to the front to see, so she squeezed into the crowd, she squeezed to the front and looked around, but still didn't find Yan Haoxue's figure. She thought of the recent disappearance, and panicked. squeezed out of the crowd again and came to the position where they had just watched the play. She looked around and saw a vendor's child sitting on the side of the road playing with toys, "He seems to be here just now." Ye Ming said happily. So he ran over, squatted down and asked while gesturing, "Little friend, where did a good-looking sister who was here just now go to wearing a light cyan dress and a white hosta?" The child looked at her, then at the sugar gourd, and blinked.

Ye Minghuan immediately understood what he meant and handed him the sugar gourd. "That sister went over there with an old woman." The little child's voice was milky. "What kind of old woman?" Ye Minghuan said hurriedly. The little boy did not answer her, but licked the sugar gourd, sniffed again, and then replied, "An old woman in a gray cloth coat who looks poor." ”

Hearing this, Ye Minghuan thanked him and immediately ran in the direction pointed by the child. She looked all the way, but she didn't see Yan Haoxue's figure, suddenly, she passed by a restaurant called "Jishiguan", and saw several old women in gray cloth coats inside, so she immediately ran in.

When she met people, she asked if she had seen an old woman in a gray cloth coat with a good-looking girl in a pale blue dress. It's a pity that I asked around, but no one knew. Ye Minghuan turned around inside, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead in a hurry. "Girl, do you want to look elsewhere? This is a restaurant run by an official, and the price is very cheap, just for poor people like us to eat. The girl you're looking for can use a white hosta, how can she come here? An old man with gray hair said.

Hearing this, Ye Minghuan became even more anxious, if there was no poor grandmother here as the child said, where would it be? Or was that kid lying to her just to eat sugar gourds? Where can I find this huge street? Besides, it's been half an hour, but there are only so many clues.

"No matter, let's go look elsewhere first." She thought to herself, turned and walked towards the door. turned around, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the curtain of a small door next to the counter lifted by the shopkeeper who came out with a plate, revealing a short staircase behind. None of the shopkeepers went up or down, they all came out of the back of the stairs, and it was clear that the upstairs led not to the back kitchen.

However, this restaurant that only eats for the poor will not have and does not need to have a private room, and, even if there is, why should it be so secretive? Where does it lead? She looked around again, and saw that all the shopkeepers and the shopkeeper behind the counter were staring at her intentionally or unintentionally, with a defensive look in their eyes. In a flash of thought, she rushed to the staircase. When the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper saw her rushing towards the curtain, they immediately put down what they were doing and went to stop her.

"Girl, this is the back kitchen, you can't go in." The shopkeeper stopped her and said with a smile. Seeing this, Ye Minghuan was even more suspicious in her heart, she pushed the shopkeeper away, and said angrily, "Get out of the way, I want to find someone." Seeing that she was still like this, the shopkeeper said a little sternly, "This is the restaurant opened by Yu Hou." Girl, I advise you, don't mess around. The rest of the shopkeepers also took advantage of the time when the shopkeeper was talking to surround and didn't let Ye Minghuan in. Ye Minghuan was completely annoyed, she looked at the shopkeeper with a bit of warning and coldness in her eyes, after all, she was born in a Jiangmen family, so she had an innate domineering spirit that ordinary people did not have, she raised the sword in her hand and said coldly, "Do you know who the missing person is, and who am I?" If something really happens, what will a Yu Hou take care of? ”
