The wheels were rolling, and after two days and two nights of hurrying, Luo Qingluan and Xu Lian finally arrived in the capital at sunset.

Looking at the city gate in front, there is no trace of the war around, and the army that led troops to besiege the city not long ago has long disappeared. There was no sign of any destruction, and even the surrounding woods and paths were still intact, no wonder many people in Western Chu were not worried about Nalan Ye leading troops to besiege the city at all, because they knew that Nalan Ye, as the god of war in Western Chu, would not do anything offensive to their common people at all.

I missed Nalan Ye more and more, but Luo Qingluan didn't know where he was at this time, although she was already very tired, she still had no intention of resting. Just wanted to find Nangong Qing as soon as possible, and then asked about Nalan Ye's whereabouts, Luo Qingluan lifted the curtain of the car and said apologetically: "Xu Lian, I'm sorry, I'm really worried about Nalan Ye, I know you're very tired, otherwise you can find a place to rest first, and I'll go to the Prince's Mansion by myself." ”

didn't even turn her head back, Xu Lian had already whipped at the horse: "Miss don't worry about me, you're not tired, I'm still afraid of being tired." I'll drive to the Prince's Mansion now, you sit down, and you'll be there in a moment. ”

The wheels are rolling, the sky is full of colorful clouds, the hot air has gradually become cooler, Luo Qingluan looked out of the car window, passers-by have also returned home, and the number of people on the street has gradually decreased. Familiar buildings swept back, and the streets gradually became wider.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage finally stopped near the Prince's Mansion, but as soon as Luo Qingluan got out of the car, he sensed that something was wrong.

In the past, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was always open, and there was a gatehouse guarding the door at all times, as well as two teams of guards on duty. But today, the gate of the Prince's Mansion is closed, and there is not even a single figure at the door, and there is a solemn atmosphere.

couldn't help but slow down, Luo Qingluan and Xu Lian stood under a tree across the street, strange. Xu Lian also pulled a passer-by to ask what happened, but the passer-by couldn't say clearly, which made the two of them even heavier.

"Miss, why don't I go and say hello." Xu Lian said.

After thinking about it, Luo Qingluan nodded: "Okay, if someone opens the door, you just say that you have something important to see His Royal Highness the Prince." It's best if nothing happens, if something happens...... It's good for you to see the opportunity for yourself. ”

Waiting for Xu Lian to go across the street and go around to the corner door of the alley at the other end, Luo Qingluan felt more and more worried. Xu Lian knocked for a while, and a middle-aged woman really came to open the door, Luo Qingluan recognized her, this was the daughter-in-law of the steward of the outer courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Li.

Li Shi talked to Xu Lian for a few words, his face was not very good, and he immediately wanted to close the door. Xu Lian immediately blocked the door and dragged the woman out with one hand, probably using her strength, Luo Qingluan was a little far away, and she heard the woman's cry of pain. Then Xu Lian asked a few more words before coming back, and Luo Qingluan immediately asked her: "What's wrong, what happened, what did she say?" ”

"Miss, I think there should be nothing wrong with the Prince's Mansion, that woman's expression is very normal, but she has a big temper." Xu Lian said in a deep voice: "I said that I had something important to see His Royal Highness the Prince, but the woman didn't pay attention to it at all, and said that the prince didn't see a guest, so she wanted to close the door." If I hadn't given her some hardship, she wouldn't have said anything. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Lian frowned and looked at Luo Qingluan: "Miss, that woman said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not returned to the house for a few days, and they don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone." It's been five days, and the crown prince hasn't even heard from him, and they are also anxious, but they don't dare to tell His Majesty, so they only secretly sent someone to tell the queen mother. ”

"Nangong Qing hasn't returned home for five days, how can this be?" Luo Qingluan suddenly felt strange. According to Nangong Qing's character, it is impossible not to return home for so many days without an explanation, his identity is special, and if something happens, it will be trivial.

According to the woman's words, since the Prince's Mansion has notified the Queen Wang, but the Prince's Mansion has not changed much, I want to come...... Nangong Qing should have something going on, but at least it can't be said to be a bad thing.

Luo Qingluan couldn't help but think of Nalan Night, could it be ...... Nangong Qing has been there at Nalan Night for the past few days, so he hasn't come back? If this is the case, then what happened to make Nangong Qing not return home for a few days.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, but Luo Qingluan couldn't do anything for a while, if she couldn't find Nangong Qing, she couldn't find Nalan Ye. So, what to do?

That's right! Something suddenly flashed in her mind, Luo Qingluan's eyes lit up, although Nangong Qing couldn't find it, she could go to Nangong Yu. Last time, she left from Dongwan first and didn't tell Nangong Yu, but it's been so long, how can I say that Nangong Yu should also come back.

And he also has a good relationship with Nalan Ye, if Nangong Qing knows Nalan Ye's whereabouts, then Nangong Yu may also know.

"Let's go, let's go to the Second Prince's Mansion to have a look." Luo Qingluan immediately turned around without the slightest delay.

Driving the carriage, the two hurried to the Second Prince's Mansion, and Luo Qingluan was praying all the way, Nangong Qing was gone, but Nangong Yu was going to be. If these two brothers are gone, then something is really going to happen.

Hurried to the Second Prince's Mansion, fortunately, the gate was open, and two guards were guarding the door, looking like usual. If it was before, Luo Qingluan would have gone in on her own, and her face would be the best pass. However, this time, it is a secret that she secretly returned to the capital, and it cannot be discovered by others, especially Emperor Xichu, otherwise who knows what trouble will happen.

Still entering from the alley next to her, Xu Lian went directly to the wall, first observed if there was anyone around, and then came down and took Luo Qingluan in. Quietly falling into the backyard, the two avoided the passing girls and subordinates all the way, and successfully came to the outside of the flower hall.

Looking from the window of the flower hall in the flower garden, Luo Qingluan not only heard Nangong Yu's voice, but also saw him with his back to him, and said in a very anxious tone: "Why haven't you found it yet, it's been two days, have you checked everywhere?" ”

A housekeeper-like man bent down in front of Nangong Yu and said cautiously: "Second prince, we really looked everywhere, and the entire capital was almost turned over, but we couldn't find His Royal Highness the Prince." Moreover, the queen mother is also sending people to look for her, and the places where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually goes are guarded, and the crown princess is also in a hurry, but she really doesn't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is. ”

"Can't find it, can't find it! What can you do but say you can't find it! ”

Nangong Yu looked angry and worried: "How can such a big person not be there?" It's been missing for several days, you want to see people, you want to see corpses, so many of you can't find it, is it true that the eldest brother has gone to heaven? ”

Hearing this, Luo Qingluan knew that even Nangong Yu was looking for Nangong Qing, since this was the case, it seemed that Nangong Qing was really missing? How is this possible? Nangong Qing, as the prince of Western Chu, how could he not have a guard by his side? Even if someone really kidnaps them, they won't kill them rashly, and there must be a reason for this.

Hearing Nangong Yu scolding helplessly, he asked his subordinates to continue looking, and when the housekeeper-like person left, he sat on the chair, and Luo Qingluan whispered to the window: "Nangong Yu, it's me." ”

This voice was so familiar, Nangong Yu was shocked when he heard it, and he almost couldn't believe his ears. He looked around, but he didn't know where the sound came from, but he could clearly hear it just now, and it was definitely not an illusion.

"Nangong Yu." Luo Qingluan knocked on the window, he hurriedly turned around and rushed over, through the hollow window lattice, Nangong Yu saw Luo Qingluan's pretty face appear in front of him at a glance, almost thinking that it was in a dream. He opened the window suddenly, and couldn't help himself in surprise: "Miss Luo, you ...... You're alive? I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

From Nangong Yu's words, Luo Qingluan could tell that he didn't know anything, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

After staring at Luo Qingluan for a long time, Nangong Yu reacted, he didn't care about his demeanor, he jumped out of the window directly, trembling with excitement: "Great, great, Miss Luo, you're really, really fine, I thought you were ......."

"Because I'm dead, isn't it?" Luo Qingluan looked at him with a grin.

Although he was preoccupied, seeing Nangong Yu's happy expression at first glance, Luo Qingluan couldn't help but feel good.

Thinking of teasing Nangong Yu in Dongwan a while ago, Luo Qingluan felt as if it was just yesterday, but it was a pity that so much happened later, and he originally wanted to teach Nangong Yu a good lesson, but he was defeated by various things and lost interest. After several twists and turns, and after so many lives and deaths, they are finally safe.

The mood gradually calmed down, and Nangong Yu remembered to ask: "By the way, Miss Luo, isn't there a rumor that you had an accident on the way back?" Ziqing was also furious because of this, and led troops to besiege the city, alas...... There's been so much going on lately, and now that my eldest brother is missing, I'm really exhausted. ”

"No, Nangong Yu, you don't know a lot of things, but I know better than you."

When Luo Qingluan told her about the contact between her and Nangong Qing some time ago, Nangong Yu suddenly realized: "So that's the case, Miss Luo, you can hurt me." I was left in Dongwan by you, and the last person rushed back, because of the news of your accident, I had to change the route later, and I wasted a lot of time to return to Xichu. But I've only been back for three days, and before I can talk to my eldest brother, he's gone. ”

"I suspect that there is a reason for His Royal Highness the Prince's disappearance, and he has been busy passing on information to me a while ago to contact Nalan Ye. Now that he has no news, I suspect ......" Luo Qingluan's eyes flashed, and he said word by word: "Perhaps, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is with Nalan Ye, as for what they are planning, I am not sure." However, if you find Nalan Ye, I am afraid that you will be able to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Ziqing?" Nangong Yu had a little more hope: "You mean, maybe be with Ziqing?" ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "Yes, it's just that I was negligent for a while before, and I didn't ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about Nalan Ye's whereabouts now, and I don't know where he is." Nangong Yu, think about it, Nalan Ye must be near the capital, and when he returned to the barracks some time ago, he encountered a sneak attack on the way, and it is estimated that his injuries are not healed now. Where exactly is he most likely to appear? ”
