Xiao Tingyan stared at the structure of the study room. The darkroom door was installed on the bookcase. As long as it was turned gently, a rusty lamp placed on the desk and the large bookcase would slowly move and open. Show authenticity.

The other courtyard where Princess Nihuang was imprisoned was a courtyard that he had secretly bought a long time ago. He had been buying it for several years, but he never knew that the dungeon in this courtyard actually had a different cave, hiding such an unexpected tunnel.

Shi Li clenched his fist and hit the old bookcase hard.

"Could it be that Princess Nihuang really hit her by mistake, found the mechanism, and then let her escape? Then wasn't her crazy behavior in the past few days just an act for us to see?"

"But I still feel very strange. Wasn't Princess Nihuang's hands and feet broken by Yun Shen? How could she, a person with broken hands and feet, walk out of such a long and narrow passage?"

Xiao Tingyan narrowed her eyes and sneered: "So, it can be seen that it was not Nihuang who escaped by herself, but someone took action and used this tunnel to rescue her."

Shi Li's eyes were full of surprise, and he was puzzled: "Who saved Princess Nihuang? Prince Duan and Chu Ying are both dead. Besides them, who else wants to save Princess Nihuang?"

He thought for a while, but he didn't think of anything suspicious.

Xiao Tingyan had a vague idea in his mind.

But he didn't say it immediately.

I'm afraid even if he said it, Shi Li might not believe it.

However, he always had to experiment before he could draw some conclusions.

Xiao Tingyan immediately asked Shi Li to send people along the five-mile radius of the courtyard to find the whereabouts of Princess Nihuang. No matter what family lived nearby, everyone must cooperate with Prince Yan's search.

If they do not cooperate, they will be taken into custody directly and charged with conspiracy.

Shi Li happily agreed and immediately sent people to search every house.

Who would have known that at the end of the search, the general's mansion was found.

Shi Li was in trouble for a while. He did not dare to disturb the people in the General's Mansion rashly. He felt that the people in the General's Mansion would never harbor Princess Nihuang.

Based on Princess Nihuang's previous bad behavior towards Mrs. Yun, the people in the General's Mansion really wanted Princess Nihuang to die, so how could they possibly save her?

Therefore, Shi Li immediately ruled out the suspicion of everyone in the General's Mansion.

He passed directly by the general's mansion.

But all the mansions were checked, and nothing was found.

Shi Li was dejected and went to Xiao Tingyan to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are incompetent and have not found any clues. Logically speaking, in such a short period of time, even if someone rescues Princess Nihuang from this tunnel, he will not have time to transport Princess Nihuang out of Kyoto. .”

"Now Kyoto has been sealed off, and you can only enter but not leave. Therefore, Princess Nihuang must still be around, but my subordinates asked people to search around, but no trace of Princess Nihuang was found. This is really It’s so weird, who is so capable of hiding such a good person so well?”

Xiao Tingyan sighed and glanced at Shi Li: "Over at the General's Mansion, didn't you ask someone to go in and search?"

Shi Li couldn't help being stunned and looked at Xiao Tingyan with some surprise.

"Do the people in the General's Mansion still need to investigate? They are the ones who hate Princess Nihuang the most. They want Princess Nihuang to die. How can they save her?"

Xiao Tingyan curled his lips and chuckled.

"You think so, and the people behind the scenes should also think so. Sometimes, the most dangerous place is often the safest place."

What he said was very reserved, and he did not directly challenge it.

He hoped that this was just his guess.

He hoped more than anyone else that that person...didn't save Princess Nihuang. But if that person did, how should he deal with it?

Xiao Tingyan's eyes were full of hesitation, and for the first time, he felt that one was as big as two.

He couldn't help but rub the center of his brows, hoping that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. I hope he was overthinking it.

He must go this time.

No matter what, he had to explore Yun Shen's true identity. He wanted to know whether his future brother-in-law had saved Princess Nihuang. This was particularly important to them!

Shi Li was still a little confused for a moment and didn't quite understand what Xiao Tingyan meant.

"My lord, are you saying that it's possible that someone deliberately hid Princess Nihuang in the General's Mansion after rescuing her? He expected that we would raid the General's Mansion because of Princess Protector, so he took the General's Mansion to shield?"

Xiao Tingyan didn't want to explain too clearly, so he could only nodded vaguely.

"That's more or less it. So, we have to go to the General's Mansion..."

Shi Li scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "We will take people over to search the general's mansion. Will the people in the general's mansion be angry about this? If this matter reaches the ears of Princess Protector, will she be angry with the prince? Are you angry? This subordinate feels that something is wrong with this..."

The prince cares so much about Yun Luan. If he offends the people in the General's Mansion in order to find Princess Nihuang, wouldn't the prince be shooting himself in the foot?

The prince finally fell in love with someone and finally got a fiancée.

But you can't mess up your marriage with Yun Luan because of Princess Nihuang.

Shi Li couldn't help but persuaded Xiao Tingyan a few more words: "Your Majesty, I think we should not go. If we don't handle this well, it's really easy for something to happen."

"I can guarantee that no one from the General's Mansion will save Princess Nihuang."

Xiao Tingyan curled her lips helplessly and smiled: "Some things should not be said so absolutely. I know that you are doing it for my own good, so don't worry. The general's wife is a sensible person, and she will definitely not blame me. The king's discourtesy."

"Princess Nihuang's matter is very important. It should be done without further delay. We cannot delay it any longer. When Aluan learns about this matter in the future, she will definitely understand me."

Shi Li was so anxious that he wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Tingyan never gave him a chance to speak. He ordered him to go down and lead his men towards the general's mansion.

Shi Li stamped his feet and followed in distress.

——

General's Mansion, the courtyard where Yun Shen lives.

Dong Ke saw with his own eyes that Yun Shen carried a dinner plate and entered the study.

She couldn't help but frown slightly. During breakfast, she clearly remembered that Yun Shen had already eaten with her mother. At this time, it was not lunch time, so how could Yun Shen carry the dinner plate and enter the study? ?

The more Dong Ke thought about it, the weirder he felt.

She stood in the corner and hesitated for a while. She was afraid that there was something wrong with Yun Shen's health. She couldn't hold it back and walked closer to the study.

She stood at the door, stared at the closed door, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

There was no movement inside.

There was no sound at all, and Dong Ke couldn't help but feel some worry in his eyes.
