The Nalan clan is a century-old family, Emperor Anyang was the most prosperous when he was alive, with the death of the eleventh prince, Nalan Guifei died of illness, and the family power gradually declined.

Five years ago, the second son of the Nalan family, Nalan was praised by the first emperor in public when he was the first to win the third yuan and the first in high school.

Later, the third lady of the Nalan family fell in love with King Huai at first sight, and was soon given the future princess Huai, and the Nalan family was in the limelight for a while, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and soon after King Huai's violent death and King Huai's mansion, Miss Nalan San left Kyoto City.

Since then, the Nalan family has become extremely low-key.

"Second son, the regent is here."

The young man in an official robe was writing in a hurry, and his wrist trembled slightly, and the ink on the tip of the pen dripped on the rice paper, which quickly smudged and scattered, and it looked extremely abrupt on the white rice paper.

Seeing this, the subordinate was so frightened that his body trembled slightly.

"Please."

When Pei Lianbai came in with Changfeng, Nalan Yan stood at the door, and when he saw him coming in, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The lower officials see the regent, I don't know why the prince came here so late?" ”

Pei Lianbai sat at the table, as if he had unintentionally glanced around, and then the subordinate came over with tea, and Nalan Yan said with a smile, "This is this year's new tea, I don't know if it suits the prince's appetite." ”

Pei Lianbai picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "I don't know how Miss Nalan San has been doing all these years?" ”

Nalan Yan's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, then put down the teacup and shook his head worriedly, "It's not a secret, the family hasn't contacted Ling'er for two years." ”

"Oh? Miss Nalan San didn't go back to Pingnan's hometown, why couldn't she be contacted? ”

"The prince didn't know, the little sister was not willing to leave Kyoto City, but at that time she was sick, everything can only obey her parents, after two years in Pingnan's hometown, her health gradually improved, one day while the servants at home did not pay attention to quietly left the mansion, and since then there has been no trace of her whereabouts."

"In fact, in the past two years, the Nalan family has been looking for her, but for two years, there is no news at all, grandmother because of this incident, her health is not as good as day by day, grandmother loves her little sister the most, and Xia Guan is really afraid that her grandmother will not be able to see her little sister before she dies."

Nalan Yan's expression was worried, not like he was lying, but Nalan Ling'er had been missing for two years, why was there no news outside, if it was said that the Nalan family was good at covering up, Pei Lianbai didn't believe it.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that the Nalan family is a big family, and there are naturally countless people who pay attention to them.

Nalan Ling'er is a famous beauty in Kyoto City, she returned to Kyoto City from her hometown, even if she is dressed in disguise, someone should have seen her along the way.

The Nalan family has done their best, and it is impossible not to have any news for two years, unless ...... Nalan was lying.

"Why did the prince suddenly ask about Ling'er, but what news did the prince get?" Nalan Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said, "Xia Guan heard that the prince dug up a corpse in Ziyang Mountain yesterday, but ......"

"The corpse has been reduced to bones, and it is difficult to determine the identity of the corpse, but this king found this in the creek." Pei Lianbai took out the bead hairpin.

Nalan Yan took the pearl hairpin in disbelief, looked at it and looked at it, and his shrewd eyes quickly filled with tears, "Impossible...... It's absolutely impossible for Xiaomei to have an accident. ”

Nalan Yan didn't want to believe this fact, took the pearl hairpin, looked at it and looked at it, as if he could find a flaw in it after a few more glances, so as to prove that Nalan Ling'er was still alive.

The style of the pearl hairpin is simple, and the only embellishment is the night pearl of the South China Sea, which was built by King Huai for Nalan Ling'er back then, and many people know about it, and this pearl hairpin, only this one, how can it be fake?

Soon, the people of the Nalan family knew the news, and they came to the front hall one after another, and the old lady of Nalan got the news and fainted on the spot.

Nalan Yan found Pei Lianbai and asked him to let Sang Muwan treat Mrs. Nalan.

Sang Muwan was listening to his grandmother talk about Huaiwang, and when he was listening attentively, the housekeeper hurriedly came over to say, "The old lady of the Nalan family has an accident, and the prince asks Miss Cousin to come over now." ”

Old Madam Gao doesn't like the people of the Nalan family, and she doesn't have a very good impression of Old Madam Nalan, so she frowned when she heard this, "There is nothing that can be done in the hospital, and there is naturally no way for my family to be late, besides, it's so late, and it's not convenient for her to go out as a girl." ”

The Wang family heard such a sentence when they came in a hurry, and knew in their hearts that the old lady didn't want Sang Muwan to get involved in the affairs of the Nalan family, but this matter was stopped by Pei Lianbai, and now that everyone has arrived at the door, it is not easy to explain if Sang Muwan does not go.

"What my mother said is that it is really inconvenient for our family to go out alone at this hour, so I will let Huaimin accompany her." Wang urged the grandmother to call someone, and she helped the old lady into the house.

Before entering, he gave Sang Muwan a look, and Sang Muwan smiled gratefully at Wang, and then turned around and walked out.

Pei Lianbai must have found out something, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Nalan's house so late, let alone let people come to the Gao family to find her at this hour.

It's just, what did he find?

On the way to Nalan Mansion, Sang Muwan looked worried, Gao Huaimin thought that she was still angry with Pei Lonebai, and persuaded him, "Although the prince is not very good-tempered, he is indeed a responsible person, but whatever he promises, he will definitely not easily miss the appointment." ”

"Since he promised to marry you and treat you well in the future, he will definitely do it, so you can rest assured later."

"As for the rest...... Listen to the eldest cousin, there are lovers in the world, how can there be no quarrels, just say my father, they often quarrel, but look at them, the relationship is not very good. ”

Sang Mu saw that Gao Huaimin had misunderstood, and when he opened his mouth to explain, the carriage stopped.

"Miss Sang, Mr. Gao, it's here."

Although the Nalan Mansion is not as luxurious as the Regent's Mansion, it is also one of the most rich and noble families in Kyoto City, and in the early winter, everything withers, even if it is a rich family, they only raise some words in the greenhouse and put them in the house to decorate.

Nalan Mansion has rows of flower pots in the yard, and the flowers in the flower pots are extremely luxuriant, and they are carefully cared for at a glance, and it naturally costs a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to raise them.

This shows the richness of the Nalan family.

After entering the second gate, I finally heard some movement, bypassed the corridor, and came to the old lady's residence.

At this time, he stood alone under the cloister, with his hands behind his back, raising his head slightly, looking at the bright moon in the sky with ink-like eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Under the moonlight, his thin and lonely figure, coupled with his knife-like and handsome facial features, is so beautiful that people can't help but stop.

What was he thinking?

Why does his figure look so lonely?

He is the regent, he is supposed to be high and omnipotent, how can he show such an expression?
