Xue Jiaojiao stayed in the City God Temple for a while, and made sure that it was not the so-called City God Lord who was in trouble.

But the people seemed to believe these rumors, and one by two they ran over.

Xue Jiaojiao really didn't understand, so she didn't worship the good Xuanwu above, and came to worship a non-existent City God.

But for these people, it is actually two immortals fighting the law, no matter what the result is, they are the ones who suffer.

Xue Jiaojiao left the City God Temple, returned to the palace, and told them what she had found.

Zhou Dongtan said: "We have heard this rumor before, and we specially sent someone to quell it, but it was to no avail. ”

Xie Congnan expressed his understanding that everyone believes in such a thing as rumors, and if they don't believe it, they don't have it, and there is no way to stop it.

"So how did Lord Chenghuang offend?" Xue Jiaojiao asked.

This will not be groundless, and so many people believe that there must be some reason.

Zhou Dongtan's face froze, and he said helplessly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, that is, in order to save expenses, the emperor reduced the royal family's worship of the city god, and the city god temple was still built by the emperor, for an auspicious purpose, I didn't expect such a big consequence." ”

Some people in the royal family will also donate some offerings to the City God Temple every year, and this year it happened that Qi Xuan planned to save expenses, but he didn't expect this to happen.

After many children disappeared, this rumor spread ten, ten, hundreds, and said that there were noses and eyes, and all the blame was put on Qi Xuan's head.

Qi Xuan himself was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't say anything.

They didn't expect it to be such a simple reason, and it made people laugh when they said it.

"It's too fake." Xie Congnan smacked his tongue, "Some people believe this, it really is." ”

"No clue again." Xu Yuzhi supported his forehead, a little distressed.

This time, Yun Mengze and Feng Lingdu really took over a mess.

If you think so, they won't say that.

"I asked the little beggars to watch from the homes of the four or five-year-old children nearby, and if any of the children were missing, they told me immediately." Xue Jiaojiao added.

Xie Congnan snorted, "It's a method, but this alone won't work, let's find out the murderer, otherwise it will be too passive." ”

Everyone understands that this is very passive, but how can they find people out?

Shan Ying slept on the recliner, sat up in a daze and rubbed her eyes.

"How many children are missing?" Shan Ying asked.

She only knew a lot, but she didn't count them carefully.

"Thirty-nine."

Shan Ying straightened up and frowned, thirty-nine children, this number does not seem to be special.

Others have thought of this as well.

For those yin and evil spells, the numbers are generally more representative.

"Maybe it's not enough." Qu Qingci touched his chin, "Is it possible that forty-nine are needed?" ”

"Where would that put so many kids?"

Thirty-nine children of four or five years old, this is not a small number, where can they hide?

Or rather, are these children still in the Imperial City?

There are so many questions waiting for them, and everyone has a headache.

If you put a demon beast in front of them, no matter how powerful it is, you can fight to the death, but if it is such a mental and brain-consuming thing, it is really difficult for them.

"Otherwise, let's use a stupid way to squat at those people's houses first, or send someone to protect them, so that the murderer has no way to start?" Xie Congnan tentatively spoke.

If that's the case, it will take a lot of manpower, but there doesn't seem to be much to do now.

So some of them were sent out to find the hiding places of more than thirty children, and some of them were guarding the imperial city.

Xue Jiaojiao is guarding the imperial city, and Shan Ying is also staying here.

With Shan Ying here, it is not a big problem to ask for manpower from Qi Xuan's side.

Xue Jiaojiao and Shan Ying went out together and bought all the beggars in the imperial city, trying not to cause panic among the people.

plus the people sent by Qi Xuan, it's almost the same.

Xie Congnan and Xu Yu went to find the whereabouts of the thirty-nine children, and let them go through all the secret mansions inside and outside the imperial city.

Xue Jiaojiao returned to the palace, Shan Ying was so tired that she collapsed on the bed, she looked and got some food.

On the way back, I caught a glimpse of a boy dressed in fine clothes, looking about ten years old, with a somewhat sickly pale face.

Xue Jiaojiao looked at his dress and what he was wearing, and guessed that it should be the crown prince Qi Yunyu.

Qi Yunyu covered his lips and coughed lightly, and when he looked up, he also saw Xue Jiaojiao.

Xue Jiaojiao was wearing Yun Mengze's disciple clothes, and Qi Yunyu walked over.

"Immortal Chief."

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Qi Yunyu looked up at her, "My imperial sister, has there been any news recently?" ”

Xue Jiaojiao shook her head.

Qi Yunyu sighed lightly, his eyebrows furrowed.

"I hope that the immortal chief will work a lot in this matter, my body is poor, and it is useless, so I have to let others worry about me."

When he knew that Qi Yunzhao was missing, Qi Yunyu was also anxious.

In the end, it is his sister, who is still so young, and there has been no news for so many days, how can people not be worried?

The two were talking, and Cao Yong was carrying the hem of his clothes and hurriedly ran over.

"Ouch, Your Highness, why don't you bring a few palace maids and guards to serve by your side? If there is something three long and two short, how can our family live, hey, the fairy is here. ”

Cao Yong's fat face was flushed, and he gasped in front of Qi Yunyu.

"I'm just out to breathe." Qi Yunyu looked at him helplessly.

Not long after Cao Yong came, a group of palace people surrounded Wen Yunsu.

Wen Yunsu saw that Qi Yunyu was safe and sound, and his hanging heart fell to the ground.

"You're scared the queen mother to death." Wen Yunsu held Qi Yunyu in his arms, and he was afraid for a while.

In the past few days, there has been turmoil outside, Wen Yunsu has watched Qi Yunyu closely, and when she saw that Qi Yunyu was not in the palace today, her soul was scared away.

After saying Qi Yunyu, Wen Yunsu saw Xue Jiaojiao standing on the side with no sense of existence.

Wen Yunsu raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Let the immortal see a smile." ”

Xue Jiaojiao shook her head, "It's okay, if you care, it's messy, you understand." ”

Wen Yunsu took Qi Yunyu's hand and said, "Okay, go back with the queen mother, you are not in good health, and you haven't recovered yet." ”

Qi Yunyu had no choice but to leave with Wen Yunsu.

Xue Jiaojiao stared at the backs of the two of them, and Shan Ying suddenly appeared next to her.

"What's wrong?"

Xue Jiaojiao blinked and asked, "What is the illness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”

"Congenital insufficiency, born before term, can only be hung with medicine, and there is no cure."

Speaking of Qi Yunyu, Shan Ying also felt pitiful, she was clearly the prince of a country, and she became like this.

"Is it incurable?" An idea suddenly popped up in Xue Jiaojiao's heart, but she didn't dare to be sure.

Thinking so, she hurriedly turned around and strode away, and Shan Ying chased after her.

"What do you think?"

"I'm not sure yet, I need evidence to back it up."
