It just so happened that Zhilan drank a little too much water at night, and she was trying to get up and go to the toilet at the moment. As soon as he lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, he saw a figure jumping in silently from the window through the tent.

For a moment her heartbeat almost stopped, and before she could react, she was covered with a handkerchief, and then she didn't know anything......

In the early morning, Qi'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up to wash her face and went into the house, but saw that the young lady's bed tent was torn to the ground, and the bed was empty. Everyone was shocked and immediately shouted: "Miss is gone!" Miss is gone! "For a time, the Lin Mansion was in chaos, and people turned on their backs.

As soon as Lin Mubai, who had just stepped into the house, heard the news of his daughter's disappearance when he returned home, he immediately gathered everyone and began to search for his daughter's traces without taking a breath. Mrs. Lin was anxious to find her daughter, and in a hurry, she had a fetal gas and lay down on the bed. The servants hurried to the doctor to come and give birth to the baby. Everyone's hearts were full of trepidation and worry.

At this moment, Shen'er, who had been wandering outside the door, walked in and said timidly, "Old ...... Master...... The slave and maid don't know what to talk about......"

"Speak!" At this moment, Lin Mubai couldn't take care of much.

"Five nights ago, the young lady got up alone and stayed in the yard for a while, and then she went to ......"

"Stop!" Lin Mubai was alert to the fact that this was a major secret, and immediately withdrew everyone. Then he ordered Shen'er to say, "You continue!" ”

"The young lady got up quietly, and the slave knew that she didn't want anyone to know. But the slave was worried about the safety of the young lady, so she quietly followed. I don't want Miss to go all the way to the Plum Garden and enter the princess's room. The slave didn't dare to follow up, but waited outside. The young lady soon came out, and the slave followed her all the way back. Can...... Unexpectedly, the next day I heard that the princess was unconscious...... The slave didn't dare to ask the young lady...... I don't know if this has anything to do with the disappearance of the young lady......"

Lin Mubai "chuckled" in his heart, as if he had fallen from a height, and he couldn't imagine that the princess's illness still had such an inside story. He quickly stabilized his mind and quickly sorted out his thoughts, trying to find some clues from these chaotic clues.

I only heard him say loudly to the housekeeper outside the door: "Pass my word, go to Soumei Yuan immediately to see if there is anything abnormal." ”

Soon, the housekeeper quickly took more than a dozen family members to Meiyuan and searched it carefully. The results shocked everyone.

The housekeeper came back soon, and entered the house directly without a word, and said in Lin Mubai's ear: "Master, there is nothing abnormal in Meiyuan, only one person is missing. ”

"Who?" Lin Mubai leaned on the chair and almost stood up eagerly.

"The princess's personal maid, Mei Xiang."

Plum fragrance? Who is this? Lin Mubai tried hard to search for memories of Mei Xiang in his mind, and finally remembered the maid who was always submissive and timid in the few meetings he had with the princess.

"It's something found in her room." The butler offered an iron token in both hands.

Lin Mubai took the token, and after just one glance, it was like five thunderbolts.

He was all too familiar with the brand. The blooming lotus flower above, with a big word "order" in the middle, and the sentence engraved below, "The silt comes from the chaos of Qi, and the white lotus is prosperous", isn't this the slogan of the White Lotus Sect? This iron brand is the token of the White Lotus Sect that is like a fake, given by the sect leader himself, only the hall master and the dead killers cultivated in the sect have it, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to hold this card.

Suddenly he understood everything. The White Lotus Sect may have known Mingyue's background for a long time, so they sent Mei Xiang to lurk beside her, and deliberately released the news so that Lin Mubai could easily find the princess, so Mei Xiang could enter the palace with the princess as a personal maid. Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival poisoned the emperor in the palace, and it is likely that this Mei Xiang was poisoned. I am afraid that it was because I had not found a chance to assassinate in the palace for several years, and before the princess wanted to marry out of the palace, he seized the last opportunity to poison the emperor, but unexpectedly failed. With the princess getting married, she hid in the Lin Mansion for many days.

Lin Mubai deeply regretted that he had no eyes at the moment, and he didn't recognize this cult stranger earlier, and even regretted that he was forced to marry Mingyue by imperial power, and finally recruited this disaster into his family. However, the most important thing now is to find out where Mei Xiang is at the moment. Lin Mubai jumped out of his emotions, made a quick decision, and ordered someone to draw a portrait of Mei Xiang and spread it around the city.

He ordered everyone in the Lin Mansion not to mention the arrest of Miss Lin Mansion, only saying that the woman in the portrait was a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, and those who had seen her and reported her to the Lin Mansion would be rewarded with a reward of 100 taels of gold. The people of the capital hurriedly rushed to tell each other, and in order to earn this hundred taels of gold, they all opened their eyes wide and searched for suspicious women in the streets and alleys like radar.

Facts have proved that the eyes of the masses are clear-eyed, and to be enemies of the people is to bring about their own destruction. Coincidentally, there was a young beggar named Ah San, who slept on the flower street and begged for a living. Yesterday's benefit was not good, and I didn't ask for much food. In the middle of the night, Ah San was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, and when he was counting the stars with his head resting on his arms and his eyes open, suddenly a masked man in black flew over his head, and there was something under his arm. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked around, but there was no one, only the stars flashing and twinkling. Ah San only thought that he was faint from hunger and hallucinated. So I continued to stroke my stomach and barely fell asleep.

As soon as the morning dawned, he heard that Lord Lin, the chief of the guards, was going to arrest a person from the White Lotus Sect, and Ah San's heart moved, thinking of the suspicious person last night. Although he didn't see his face, and he didn't know if it was the woman they were going to arrest, but in the middle of the night, which serious person would fly around in the sky in black clothes masked? also flew to the flower building, and he was definitely not a good person.

Thinking of this, Ah San seemed to see an ingot of gold ingots floating in front of his eyes...... No, no, I'm about to faint from hunger. Ah San shook his head, forced himself to wake up, and hurriedly got up and went to the Lin Mansion to report the news.

At this time, Lin Mubai was like ants on a hot pot in the house, and receiving this news was like grasping a life-saving straw. Although it may not be possible to confirm that the man in black is Mei Xiang, according to Ah San's description, the person is still carrying something, and that thing is Zhilan. Thinking of this, his concern for his daughter's life added another layer.

Lin Mubai ordered the beggar to be placed in the mansion to eat and drink first, and when he brought his daughter back, he rewarded him with one hundred taels of gold. Ah San almost fainted immediately after hearing this, this is a big luck! He secretly thought to himself in his heart, the Bodhisattva blessed the man in black as the person they were looking for.

According to Ah San's description, Lin Mubai found the place where he was lying last night, and the closest to this place are two flower buildings, one is called Yicui Building, and the other is called Yiqing Building. Lin Mubai waved his hand and shouted: "Search!" ”
