When Qi Xuan heard Shan Ying say this, he still agreed, and for the sake of their daughter, they asked for routine inquiries.

The concubine lives in Langhua Palace, the palace is well kept inside and outside, the flowers and plants grow gratifyingly, and at first glance she likes to serve these masters.

When the palace people saw them coming, they hurriedly went to look for the concubine.

The concubine opened her eyes, her thin cheekbones were bulging, and her eye sockets were sunken, she turned her head and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"It's a few immortal chiefs invited by the emperor."

The concubine struggled to get up, "Immortal Chief? ”

The palace maid nodded.

The concubine took a breath and said, "Please let them in." ”

Xie Congnan and the others went in and saw the concubine lying on the bed on her side, and lowered her eyes.

The concubine asked the palace maid to put a soft pillow for her to sit up, and asked eagerly, "But there is news from Zhaozhao in this palace?" ”

Several people shook their heads, and the light in the concubine's eyes went out again.

"We're here to ask about the day." Xie Congnan lowered his voice.

The concubine pressed her temples and looked at them.

That day, Zhao Zhao was making a fuss about going out of the palace to watch a shadow puppet show, and the emperor authorized the palace to take her with him, and also sent a lot of guards.

From before the beginning of the shadow puppet show to after the opening, Zhao Zhao has been by Hongu's side, and Hongu has been watching, seeing that she is tired of standing, and picking her up.

Hongu remembers that when the shadow puppet show reached the second scene, Akira disappeared in Hongu's arms. ”

When the concubine spoke, her face was still very pale, her hands were clenched, and she still couldn't believe that the person was really missing in her arms.

Qi Yunzhao was still talking to her one second ago, but the next second he disappeared directly.

The palace maid next to her patted the concubine's back to give her relief, and the concubine pinched the handkerchief and coughed lightly, her eyes were red.

"A few immortal elders, can the daughter of this palace come back safely?"

Xie Congnan said with some difficulty: "We will try to find it back, Niangniang, you take care of your body." ”

The concubine nodded with red eyes.

A few people went out of the palace of the concubine, and from afar they saw several imperial doctors running over with their clothes.

"What's going on?" Shan Ying asked.

The palace maid who led the way said: "It should be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in poor health." ”

The superfluous palace maid did not say any more.

Shan Ying remembered that Qi Xuan's son was born to Qi Xuan and Wen Yunsu, who came out of his mother's womb with the root of the disease, and he had to be well conditioned every day, and he was a weak child.

I think he should be ten years old now, the same age as Duan Rin.

Xue Jiaojiao glanced over there and retracted her gaze.

Because they all came to the palace, Qi Xuan simply left the people behind and arranged special rooms for them.

Shan Ying found Qi Xuan and pulled the contents of the fruit bowl in front of him.

"The prince's illness is still not cured?" Shan Ying asked him.

Qi Xuan nodded.

"What is brought out of the womb, how can it be so easy to get good."

"Can't be cured with so many heavenly and earthly treasures?" Shan Ying raised her eyebrows.

It is because of this that Qi Xuan is worried, no matter what treasure he uses, he can't cure Qi Yunyu's illness.

"Yes, the queen and I have nothing to do about it."

Seeing this, Shan Ying didn't say anything anymore, she just came to ask about Qi Yunyu's situation, she was a sick man when she saw her a few years ago, and she is still like this now.

Seeing Shan Ying coming out of there, Xue Jiaojiao asked, "Why did you go?" ”

"I went to see the emperor and asked about the prince."

Xue Jiaojiao nodded and returned to the accommodation arranged by Qi Xuan.

Xie Congnan said to Xu Youzhi: "How many families with four or five-year-old children are there in the imperial city? ”

The corners of Xu Youzhi's mouth twitched, "It's really a lot, if you want people to squat door to door, it shouldn't be possible." ”

Xie Congnan patted her head, she thought so before, but now she can't do it like this.

"Did any of the children go missing yesterday?" Chu Ci suddenly asked.

Zhou Dongtan, who was called, shook his head.

"No such message has been received."

"How long did it take for the people who disappeared before?" Qi Xiao asked him.

Zhou Dongqin thought for a while and said: "There is no rule, sometimes it is four days, sometimes it is seven days, every time it is different, it seems to be just a mood." ”

Xie Congnan poured himself a cup of tea and sighed: "It's really a brain-draining thing, I knew that I would let Zhou Hanzhang and Song Shiwei replace me." ”

She originally thought that when it came to the Demon Hunting Division, it was at most just a big demon, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Not only Xie Congnan didn't expect it, but others didn't expect it either.

"Then we can't do anything?" Xie Congnan spread out his hands and looked at Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao turned his face away, he was not suitable for this kind of brain-using work.

Qu Celadon and Xie Congnan, who were standing on the side, looked at each other, "Otherwise, we will act alone?" Everyone brought flares and searched the Imperial City inside and out. ”

The room fell silent, Xue Jiaojiao looked at them, Xie Congnan nodded slowly, and glanced at Xu Yuzhi.

Xu Yuzhi was also worried, and when he heard them say this, he agreed.

"Stay safe, don't be pushy."

After dawn, several people acted separately, Xue Jiaojiao was wandering around the alleys of the imperial city, and several beggars looked at her with their heads probed.

Xue Jiaojiao took out a few copper plates from the square inch ring and beckoned to them.

A few beggars hesitated, Xue Jiaojiao smiled, and walked forward, the copper plate in the palm of her hand was exposed.

"I'd like to ask you something."

Among them, the oldest looked to come out, followed by a few, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles.

They didn't withdraw their hands when they saw Xue Jiaojiao, and snatched it up and protected it in their arms.

"What's the matter?" The little beggar asked her.

"Do you know about the disappearance of a four- or five-year-old child in the city in a month?"

Several people gathered together and muttered a few words, and the leader asked again: "Are you a person sent by the emperor?" ”

Xue Jiaojiao nodded.

"We don't know, we just know that they all said that the emperor was disrespectful to the city god and angered the city god, didn't it mean that even the princess was arrested recently?"

Xue Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, Qi Xuan is an old Xuanwu for thousands of years, and he must not care about this kind of ethereal or even non-existent god.

"That's right." Xue Jiaojiao took out a few more copper plates, "Are there anything else?" ”

Several people shook their heads in unison.

Xue Jiaojiao took a silver ingot, and instructed them: "There are four or five-year-old children in the neighborhood these days, you can help me take a look, if you are missing, come and tell me, go to the Demon Hunt Division and say find someone named Xue Jiaojiao, they will come to me." ”

Several people stared at the silver ingots with shining eyes, stretched out their hands to take it, and agreed repeatedly.

Leaving from the beggar's side, Xue Jiaojiao went to find someone to inquire about the location of the City God Temple.

The rumors outside seem to be very serious, and there are really a lot of people who come to the City God Temple to offer incense.

Xue Jiaojiao took the Xuantie sword and walked straight inside, the city god who was shaped in colored clay smiled, and on the futon were pilgrims praying sincerely.

Xue Jiaojiao walked over and also went to worship with a stick of incense.

The true body of this city god does not have a trace of aura and demonic energy, it is a normal clay statue.
