They were all ready to go, but the palace hurriedly sent a letter, asking Zhuang Siyan to return to the capital as soon as possible.

No one knew what was going on with this secret order, and it didn't say anything in it, just one sentence, and it was quickly replied to the words.

Zhuang Siyan knew that Ling Tiancheng didn't usually do this kind of thing, and as soon as he received the secret order, he felt that something might be wrong in the capital.

But it hadn't been long since she last returned to Beijing, and the situation was similar, and she felt that maybe there was nothing wrong, but Ling Tiancheng knew about Ye Yuanpei and knew that they were going to Werewolf Valley, probably because he was afraid of danger, so he called her back.

When he told Ye Yuanpei about this, he said bluntly: "Go back, that's the emperor, or your husband, no matter why, you have to go back and see." ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded after a while: "Then when I go back, don't move for a while, wait for me to come back." ”

Ye Yuanpei spread his hands: "You told me to move, I can't move, it's all your people who go to the town to find out what happened, without them walking in front, what can I do, and go back to the valley to let people chop cabbage?" ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Siyan was also relieved.

The time was urgent, and she didn't stay in Luohe City for long, she only made an appointment with Ye Yuanpei, and when the time came, she went directly to the town outside the Werewolf Valley to meet.

In view of the various things they took the path back last time, this time they took the official road.

However, Zhuang Siyan was a horseback rider and a person running outside, not as squeamish as Mi Yueqing, so he still arrived in the capital half of the time earlier than her.

As soon as she returned to the capital, she didn't even look for her clothes, and she didn't have time to wash her face, so she went directly to the palace.

Ling Tiancheng was in the Zichen Hall as usual, and when he got the news of her return, he dealt with the matter at hand as soon as possible, and went to see her in the bamboo courtyard.

"What's the matter? So anxious for me to come back. She didn't say anything politely, and asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

Ling Tiancheng didn't go around, his eyes were still looking at her, and the words had already come out of his mouth: "Jincheng's, Mi Yueqing is gone." ”

"What did you say?" Zhuang Siyan looked at him a little incredulously.

It took a long time to come back to his senses and ask, "Why don't you see it?" Is it missing in Jincheng, or is it on the road, didn't you ask the Ouchi guards to send it? How can it still be gone? What about Wen Qing, wasn't he there, didn't he come out to answer? ”

She asked herself all the questions in one go, and then waited for Ling Tiancheng to give her an answer.

Ling Tiancheng saw that she was eager, the words rushed to her mouth, swallowed it raw, and raised her hand to stroke her hair that was messy because she was in a hurry to enter the palace.

Let yourself calm down first, and then say to her: "Don't worry, I've figured things out, and I'm already trying my best to find it." Now you go wash your face and eat something, and I'll tell you little by little later. ”

As for Zhuang Siyan's quick temper, as soon as he heard that Mi Yueqing was lost, his hair almost gave rise to smoke, and he had no intention of doing anything else.

But the more anxious she was, the more sober she became, and she could almost tell at a glance that Ling Tiancheng had something else hidden.

Isn't it appropriate to say it now?

Then she went to wash.

When Zhuang Siyan came out of the steaming water and changed into a set of clean clothes, Ping'er and Lan Xin took a plate of dim sum and flower tea for her to eat together.

returned to the main hall of the bamboo courtyard, but did not see Ling Tiancheng there.

Li Fu waited for her words to be replied to: "Concubine Wanniang, the emperor is waiting for you in Chenxi Palace, come over quickly." ”

Zhuang Siyan had more questions in his heart, and walked outside.

As soon as she entered the Chenxi Palace, she was first startled by the case files and folds on the table.

It was too high, and a table was piled up, almost covering Ling Tiancheng, who was sitting in the back.

It was still when he heard Zhuang Siyan come in, he stood up first, and then stood out in the pile of folds.

Probably bathing can really stabilize people's minds, Zhuang Siyan took a bath from the bamboo courtyard, changed his clothes, walked for such a long time, and saw so many twists and turns here, and suddenly put Mi Yueqing's matter in the back row, and asked him: "What's going on, why are there so many files and twists?" ”

Ling Tiancheng casually took out a copy and handed it to her.

Zhuang Siyan was a little hesitant to take the fold, and finally opened it under the signal of his eyes.

The recital is from Jincheng, the time is shown a month ago, and the object of the performance on it is the government official Banlian of Jincheng.

Zhuang Siyan couldn't be more familiar with this person, they were dealing with Anli in Jincheng at that time, and if it weren't for Ban Lian and Zhu Hua, many things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

And the first time I went there with Ling Tiancheng, it was also with their help, and a few people were able to get out.

How long has it been, and after two years, has Banlian deteriorated?

Ten charges were written about him on the fold, including the robbery of people's daughters, fish and flesh, etc.

Zhuang Siyan looked confused for a while, and asked Ling Tiancheng, "Is this true?" ”

Ling Tiancheng didn't answer directly, but simply replied: "Wen Qing went this time to find out whether it was true or false, as for the Mi family's affairs, I just checked it by the way." ”

Referring to the matter of the Mi family, Zhuang Siyan hurriedly asked: "...... that Yueqing her?"

Ling Tiancheng: "She was lost when she was approaching Jincheng, and according to the Ouchi Guards who came back, she should have left by herself." ”

"Walk on your own?" Zhuang Siyan asked, not quite understanding what was going on.

Ling Tiancheng had already taken her to the chair next to her, and after watching her sit down, he sat down in the one next to him.

He was a hand's distance from her, but his eyes were always looking at her.

"The four Ouchi guards, under normal circumstances, no one can touch her, and they walk very fast, with little rest on the way.

But when approaching Jincheng, Mi Yueqing took the initiative to ask to rest in a small town outside Jincheng.

The matter came when they were resting, they had planned to spend the night in the city, and they would leave early the next morning, so that they could enter Jincheng directly.

But that night, Mi Yueqing disappeared. ”

Ling Tiancheng's words were like keeping a running account, just a few strokes and just telling the matter.

As for why Mi Yueqing rested at that time, why the Ouchi guards didn't stop her, and even if she rested, the four of them took turns to protect her, how did she leave, and so on.

He didn't mention any of these questions, but it was clear from his words that he still felt it.

Zhuang Siyan looked up at him, and after a while said, "She herself wants to separate the Ouchi guards?" ”

Ling Tiancheng didn't nod or shake his head, he only said: "Two of the guards came back, and the other two went to find Wen Qing, and now the process of the matter is not clear, and it is difficult to say whether it will be the problem of the Ouchi guards, so I circled them first, if you have anything, you can ask them." ”

Zhuang Siyan stood up suddenly: "Where are they?" ”

"Currently in Xinzheku."

Zhuang Siyan's feet, which had already been raised, paused again: "You tortured them?" ”

Ling Tiancheng: "No, it's just temporarily locked up there, even if they are fine, it is a felony to mess up the assigned task." ”

Zhuang Siyan: "......"

There's really no way to say.

Ling Tiancheng was not wrong at all, they should have been punished for their failed task, but if this matter was really made by Mi Yueqing herself, these people would really be a bit far away.

She thought in a mess, the people had already left the Chenxi Palace and went to the Xin Zheku.

The two Ouchi guards were locked up in two places, and although they were not tortured, the environment, smell, and the sound of beating and scolding were still very uncomfortable.

Xin Zheku is a cell in the palace, and it was originally a person who only dealt with the harem.

Dali Temple is a cell outside the palace, and Zhuang Siyan would rather they be locked up in Dali Temple, at least the environment there is better than here.

Of course, she can't do this kind of thing, think about it from another angle, if the Ouchi guards were bribed, the story lost Mi Yueqing?

But she quickly denied this, if that's the case, these four people don't have to come back at all, knowing that there is a knife in front of them, who will send their heads there?

Ouchi guards have a common trait, they don't smile and don't talk much.

Zhuang Siyan came with Ling Tiancheng's token, so when he asked them, they spoke, under normal circumstances, without the emperor's order, others would not be able to take out anything in their mouths.

Zhuang Siyan respected them very much from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't make any detours, and only asked them carefully about escorting Mi Yueqing along the way.

Normally, when asked what she has said and done, they will answer truthfully.

But if Mi Yueqing looked wrong, or did something on purpose, they would all shake their heads.

They are actually very shrewd, that is, they are not sure of what they are not sure about, they never talk nonsense, what is really happening, they see it, they hear it, and they report it truthfully.

Even so, Zhuang Siyan still heard it from their words.

It is possible that Mitsuki Halal left on his own.

But why should she go on her own? Obviously she is already about to enter Jincheng, she is already going to see Wen Qing, and she is about to figure out what is going on in her family, why did she leave without a sound?

If she didn't want to know, she would not go back at that time, and stay in the capital to wait for Wen Qing's news to be the same.

Zhuang Siyan carefully recalled her expression when she heard the news.

That kind of impatience didn't look like a fake, she should really want to go to Jincheng as soon as possible, whether it was to see Wen Qing or her own family.

But why the hexagram changed in the middle has become a mystery.

Zhuang Siyan thought for a while, and then asked the two guards, "Has she seen anyone on the road?" Or did you talk to someone suspicious, or received something or something? ”

The two of them shook their heads at the same time.

And said something about the same: "It's okay all the way, but in that town she said she wanted to rest." What we mean is to speed up the trip that day and get to Jincheng before dark. ”

Zhuang Siyan heard a different meaning from his words, and immediately asked, "Did you tell her at the time?" ”

The guard nodded: "Yes, but Miss Mi said that she was tired from sitting in the car and didn't want to enter Jincheng so disgraced, so it was better to rest and leave." ”

Okay, so Zhuang Siyan will be clear, the Ouchi guards are doing the duty of protection, how to go, when to leave, they will still listen to Mi Yueqing.

They are different from Qingran, they can control the time of walking by themselves, Mi Yueqing has to listen to him, so the last time they came back from Luohe City, the two of them arrived a few days later than Zhuang Siyan and them.

However, this time, she is the master, and although the four of them have high martial arts, they all have to listen to her.
