Yang Han stood on the steps in front of the door, stared at her for a long time, and nodded seriously.

Bai Zhengyan then said to the people kneeling in the court: "If I ask the following questions, you had better answer them truthfully, if the princess can't be found, she will have to fall to the ground, which you all know." Unless one of you is the other person's meticulous work, and is willing to defy the law and apologize with death, don't shield anyone, you know? ”

"Yes!" The crowd replied tremblingly.

"When and where did the princess disappear? Who found her missing? Bai Zhengyan began to ask, and the sound of the guards and maids of the Yang Mansion searching the backyard was faintly heard in the distance.

The slave maid and Shuyu accompanied the princess to wait for the concubine in the new house, and at three o'clock in the morning, the princess said that she was dizzy with hunger, and said that Mama Zhou and Mama Cheng would not give her food. The princess asked the slave and maid to hide from the grandmothers and give her the cakes in the food box, and the slave and maid had to go out of the new house, not daring to alarm the people and grandmothers outside the house, so they said that they were going to the toilet. A delicate and beautiful palace maid in the crowd whispered in horror.

"Who's Shuyu?" Bai Zhengyan raised his eyebrows, glanced at everyone and asked.

The princess said that the two beads on the cuffs had been torn off by her, and that it would be unlucky, and that the slave maid should hurry up and find a needle and thread to sew them back. A white and delicate palace maid kneeling in the first row said that the whole person trembled.

"You damned slaves, who let you go!" An old woman with a mighty eyebrow couldn't help but reprimand angrily after hearing this.

"Then why didn't Mama stay with me in the new house at that time?" Bai Zhengyan squinted at her and asked.

The old lady bowed her head and said: "At that time, the princess did not let the old slave and Zhou Mama wait in the room, let us go to listen and rest, the old slave and Zhou Mama thought about exiting the door to accompany them, who knew that just out of the door, Zhou Mama's feet hurt so much that she couldn't step away, and the old slave helped her to sit down, chatted a few words, and returned to the new house. The old slave found that there was no sound in the new house, so he asked the princess outside, but not only did the princess not answer the old girl's words, but even the two slaves and maids did not reply. The old slave felt strange and uneasy, so he opened the door and entered the new house, and she took a breath ......of cool air, as if she had come to her senses: "There is no one in the room, the princess is not there, and the two slaves and maids are not there...... How is this possible? When the two slaves returned, the three of us searched the new house and didn't see the princess......" Her shocked voice almost choked with low sobs, "How should the old slave explain to the mother?" How to explain to the Cheng family? ”

As she spoke, some palace maids wept softly, and another kneeling grandmother also wiped her tears silently.

"Who was waiting outside the room? Didn't you see the princess walk out of the room? Yang Han heard that it was also strange at this time, and his heart became more and more anxious and worried, and he said loudly and angrily.

"The eight slaves and maidservants were waiting outside the door, and they didn't see the princess come out!" The eight palace maids fell to the ground and bowed to the ground, crying in a low voice.

"Do you have a cellar passage in your new house?" Bai Zhengyan couldn't help but ask him.

Yang Han was furious, and shouted: "There is no half of the seam!" ”

So how did the princess disappear? Bai Zhengyan frowned and thought about it, then ignored his anger, knowing that he shouldn't have anything to worry about at this moment. Why does the princess seem to want everyone to leave the new house? She turned to ask Yang Han again: "Do you think that Princess Zijin not only let the palace maid secretly go to the side hall to get food, but also asked the palace maid to get needles and threads, and let the two grandmothers rest, it sounds very ordinary, but there seems to be something wrong?" ”

Yang Han couldn't help frowning, Zi Jin was usually a princess with the dignity and coquettishness of a princess, and these things sounded very similar to what she would do.

Bai Zhengyan walked up to Mama Zhou and asked, "Mama, can you show me your sprained foot?" ”

Mama Zhou looked dignified and had a rigorous demeanor, and when she saw that he was a teenager, she naturally hesitated.

Yang Han glanced at it and said, "She's a woman!" ”

Mama Zhou couldn't help but look at Bai Zhengyan again, and only then did she faintly see a clue from between her body bones, and secretly wondered in her heart: "This woman can disguise a man so realistically, almost blinding her pair of eyes that have read countless people, which is really amazing." At this moment, seeing that Yang Han had spoken, and also concluded that Bai Zhengyan was a young man in disguise, he sat down leaning down on his back to Yang Han, picked up his trousers, and stretched out his slightly swollen ankle for her to check.

Bai Zhengyan reached up and gently kneaded and touched, lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Did Mama's ankle start to hurt before it broke, or did it only notice pain when she walked after she broke?" ”

Zhou Momo frowned and recalled: "The old slave didn't pay attention at the time, but he felt pain before he walked after his foot. ”

Bai Zhengyan's eyes lit up, she nodded at Mama Zhou, turned back to Yang Han and said, "It is not ruled out that someone used stones or hard objects to cause Mama Zhou's feet to fall." ”

Yang Han's mind turned around and shook his head, "What's going on?" ”

"When she was at the palace, who was the last princess to put on the red silk scarf for her, and who was there at the time?" Bai Zhengyan decided to start from the beginning and find the cause.

Yang Han sat down on the steps and stared at the crowd below.

"I ......" The palace maids and grandmothers present at the time all responded one by one, and finally the elderly Zhou Mama replied: "At that time, after the lady concubine and the princess said goodbye, she asked the woman of the wind to cover the red turban, as well as General Mu's wife and Shui Shangshu's wife. ”

Bai Zhengyan curled his fingers, so many people were here, even the mother concubine was there, it was impossible for the princess to be stolen, and asked: "After the princess put on her head and got on the sedan chair, have the concubines and the three ladies been accompanying each other all the time?" Has anyone left the temple, or has anyone come and gone? ”

"In the meantime, it seems that Mrs. Mu has left, saying that it is the jade Ruyi sent by the queen to press the box for the princess, and that she has asked the monk to chant and bless, and has just rushed back from the 'Qingyun Temple'. Everyone knows that such holy relics are best taken after fasting and bathing, because if they are done by ordinary people, they will pollute the spirit. Fortunately, Mrs. Mu was there at that time, she prayed for the general outside the gate all the year round, and was a person who fasted and drank meat and wine to worship the Buddha. Mama Zhou was well-informed and replied in an orderly manner.

Which one is the Snow Queen? At the last moment, show the Chu family another goodwill, leaving an extra way for the crown prince to ascend the throne in the future?

Bai Zhengyan took this matter around in his mind, and asked, "After the princess put on her headscarf, did she ever leave everyone's sight?" For example, going to the toilet and touching up makeup? Have you ever eaten or drunk anything? Cakes, tea? ”

"Nope! After the bride puts on her head, she is not allowed to go to the toilet, touch up her makeup, drink water, eat, etc., otherwise it will be unlucky. Mama Zhou still replied respectfully, and the people below were silent, and the silence in the courtyard made people chill.

"The incense burner in the princess's palace, the incense on the clothes, and the sachets she carries with her have all been inspected by the grandmother herself?" Bai Zhengyan continued to ask detailed questions.

Mama Zhou bowed her head and replied: "The old slave and Mama Cheng checked together, we are all old people who followed Concubine Shu from the Cheng family to the palace, and these details will naturally be checked very carefully, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Yang Han's eyes gradually lit up, and he turned his head to look up at Bai Zhengyan.

Bai Zhengyan also looked back at him and asked, "Little Marquis, did you check the sedan chair before you welcomed the princess into the sedan chair, did anyone do anything about it?" After the princess got on the sedan chair, what was the small situation on the way from the palace to the Hou Ye's mansion? Has the number of people in the procession, including the number of maids in the bridal court, increased or decreased? ”

Yang Han frowned slightly, and thought: "The sedan chair has been specially inspected by the lady concubine, and it will definitely not hide anyone." There has been nothing wrong along the way, that is, whether the number of people in the welcoming team has increased or decreased, this Xiaohou does not know. ”

"No increase or decrease!" Feng Jingning hurriedly walked in from the outer courtyard and said to them: "I have been leading people to watch, and there is nothing wrong along the way. The team entered the Hou Ye's mansion, and the Hou Ye also let the housekeeper lead the people to take a look, and no one of them left their positions without permission. ”

"You've been quietly searching the Inner House?" Yang Han asked, forcibly suppressing the irritability and anger in his heart.

"Master Hou and Mrs. are circling the guests outside, you can take the opportunity to calm down, and go out to socialize with everyone after a while, otherwise the people in the lobby will be suspicious." Feng Jingning slowly explained him, "After knowing about this, the steward has ordered the doors of each courtyard to be closed and guarded, and the guards inside and outside the palace will not let people enter and exit easily......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes became a little strange.

Bai Zhengyan was also looking at him at this time, and the eyes of the two of them met in the air, and they exclaimed, "The emperor's carriage ......"

Feng Jingning's face changed and asked, "Is it possible?" ”

Bai Zhengyan said cautiously: "The only possibility to leave the mansion!" ”

Feng Jingning suddenly bowed his head and said to her: "You continue to interrogate these people, and I will lead people to chase them!" He left the words behind, turned and walked out of the garden, and hurried out in a meteoric stride faster than he had come.

Yang Han came back to his senses, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and when he looked at Bai Zhengyan, his expression was a little stiff, and he asked, "Can you really be so bold and reckless?" ”

She smiled coldly: "Those who achieve great things will do whatever it takes!" ”

Yang Han sighed coldly, his eyes became a little scarlet, who was going to deal with him Yang Houfu? Now he only hopes that Zi Jin will not be hurt in any way and can return safely! But what could he do at this moment to get her back to him safely?

He jumped up the steps and paced up and down the court, not knowing who the enemy was, or how they had captured Zi Jin and where they had caught him. There are also a number of court officials and nobles waiting for him and Yang Houfu to deal with it together.
