Maybe Ye Wange's thoughts may seem a bit deceptive to others, but in Ye Wange's perception, this is what she thinks. If there is no news of Qinhua's death, then she will assume that Qinhua is still alive and will never give up looking for Qinhua.

The disappearance of Qinhua made Nangong Ao feel a sense of frustration. He was afraid of something happening a few days ago, so he specially transferred Cao Tianyue from the capital just in case. Unexpectedly, he was so sparse that he only cared about protecting the little prince Ye Wange.

People, but neglected the flowers around them.

All the layers of protection failed to protect the woman who could depend on him for life and death. Nangong Ao felt very sad at this moment, and he was in great pain.

Ye Wange didn't have much time to immerse herself in sadness. Excessive grief after the incident was of no use and would only make the situation worse. She asked Nangong Ao, "Your Majesty, is there anyone you suspect?"

The object of suspicion has long been there, but Nangong Ao couldn't tell whether it was Gu Erxi who did it. If Gu Erxi kidnapped Qinhua, then he really underestimated Gu Erxi's ability before.

Ruyun's Jade Dew Palace easily abducted his people, and Gu Erxi's ability was beyond ordinary.

"Maybe it's Gu Erxi." Nangong Ao said quietly. At this time, he was in a very complicated mood. The most important thing was panic. He had never been so panicked, even when facing a powerful enemy with thousands of troops on the battlefield.

He can also respond calmly, but now he is a little panicked and doesn't know where to start to solve the problem.

Nangong Ao thought that maybe deep down in his heart he cared about Qinhua, but he didn't realize it at ordinary times. Isn't it said that the person who makes him panic in times of crisis is the one he cares about most?

"What is Gu Erxi's purpose?" Ye Wange thought that Gu Erxi must not have taken Qinhua abducted to kill her.

If you want to take Qinhua's life, you can kill Qinhua on the spot, and then escape alone, and be safe. In this way, escaping with Qinhua is much more dangerous than escaping alone.

"I don't know." Nangong Ao said helplessly.

Ye Wange frowned and heard Nangong Ao say again, "Maybe it's to threaten me."

Hearing Nangong Ao's words, Ye Wange replied, "If it is to threaten the emperor, then Qinhua is safer now. Gu Erxi will not hurt Miss Qinhua unless he achieves his goal."

Which kidnapper would kill Meupiao when he failed to achieve his goal?

When Nangong Ao heard Ye Wange's words, the tight string in his heart could not relax at all. He said this just to deal with Ye Wange.

Gu Erxi's real purpose was not to threaten him, but to get from Qinhua what Qinma left behind.

Nangong Ao looked sad. Although he sent a large team of people to look for Qinhua, two hours had passed and there was still no news about Qinhua.

Nangong Ao was afraid that after Gu Erxi got what he wanted from Qinhua, he killed Qinhua and silenced her.

"Gu Erxi can't run far." Ye Wange thought for a moment and said to Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao frowned and looked at Ye Wange, "Why do you say that?"

"The Jade Dew Palace is heavily guarded. Although it cannot be said to be an iron wall, there are guards at almost every level. On the road from the gate of the Jade Dew Palace to the Liuyun Pavilion, no trace of Gu Erxi was found even at three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry post.

, and no suspicious persons were found coming in or out, which means that Gu Erxi did not leave Jade Dew Palace.

Nangong Ao looked at Ye Wange and listened to Ye Wange's clarity, feeling that what she said seemed to make some sense.

"Your Majesty, Gu Erxi is probably hiding somewhere in Jade Dew Palace." Ye Wange's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

After hearing this, Nangong Ao suddenly felt hopeful and felt that light appeared in front of his eyes.

The Jade Dew Palace was so tightly guarded that no sentry post found any sign of Gu Erxi. This only meant that Gu Erxi had not left the palace and must be hiding somewhere.

There are mountains and rivers in Jade Dew Palace. He can find a cave to hide in. When it gets dark or when the guards are tired, he will find an opportunity to go out.

Nangong Ao thought of this and immediately said, "I will order people to search the mountain immediately."

"Yeah." Ye Wange felt that this was the only way now.

Until there is no other good way, the only option is to conduct a large-scale search. Although it is a bit stupid to find a needle in a haystack, it is still a hundred times better than sitting still and waiting for death.

If you search all the hiding places in Gyokuro Palace and still find no trace of Qinhua, then Qinhua is really in danger.

Ye Wange guessed that Gu Erxi's purpose of kidnapping Qinhua must be for the key to the Qin family.

Thinking of the key, Ye Wange glanced at Nangong Ao. She didn't know if Nangong Ao knew that such a key existed.

Nangong Ao immediately ordered people to search the mountain, especially in places where it was easy to hide in places with thick branches and leaves. He ordered Zhou Qiang to lead people to search carefully. At the same time, he also ordered people to be deployed to protect Jade Dew Palace, mainly to strengthen precautions in case Gu Erxi fled.

At that time, there were not enough manpower and Gu Erxi escaped.

Nangong Aosha tried hard to catch Gu Erxi and prevent him from escaping again.

Regarding Gu Erxi's matter, Nangong Ao also vaguely realized that Gu Erxi was somewhat wronged, but he had no intention of clearing up the grievances for Gu Erxi.

In the back hill of Jade Dew Palace, in the fruitful orchard, Ding Mu is picking fruits. Although he does not know martial arts, and no one who knows martial arts can listen to the wind and recognize the movement, he can also watch the frequency of tree movement.

You can guess whether anyone is nearby without paying any attention to it.

There are people walking around here, and judging from the frequency of the tree shadows shaking, there must be someone skilled in martial arts in the trees.

Ding Mu pretended to pick fruits as if nothing had happened. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a swaying fruit tree two meters away in front of him. He saw scattered leaves falling from the tree. He immediately looked up and saw a black shadow disappearing behind him.

In front of you.

Ding Mu followed the swaying tree to find it. He followed all the way, and before he knew it, he came to a small cave on the mountain.

He stood there and carefully looked around. After finding no one, he glanced at the dark hole and hesitated between going in or not.

Finally, Ding Mu decided to go in and take a look. Because the cave was very dark, he didn't dare to walk in. He could only touch the rocks on the cave wall with his hands and move in step by step.

Ding Mu moved cautiously, fearing that sweat would break out on his face. Because there were frightening sounds in the cave from time to time, he shrank his neck in fear.

Ding Mu, who didn't even dare to breathe, walked for a long time when he suddenly saw a glimmer of light in front of him. He walked a few steps further and found a large place on the right side of the narrow hole. It didn't look like it was formed naturally, but it looked like it was man-made.

Yes, he didn't dare to go any further for fear of being discovered.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, he noticed a dark shadow moving inside. He didn't dare to stick his head out to see, so he could only hide at the entrance of the cave and eavesdrop on the people inside.

Early in the morning, she wanted to go to the garden to pick fruit and flowers. Unexpectedly, she met the fugitive Gu Erxi halfway along the way. After being knocked unconscious by Gu Erxi, she woke up in this dark cave.

After Qinhua woke up, she started calling for help. No matter how loud she screamed, no one came to save her.

Gu Erxi looked at the exhausted Qinhua and stated his purpose, "Hand over the key and we will let you go."

Qinhua didn't understand what key Gu Erxi was talking about and asked, "What key, I don't understand."

Gu Erxi glanced at Qinhua and said with a sinister smile, "Don't pretend to be stupid like our family. You have been in the palace for so long, haven't you heard of our family's methods?"

Gu Erxi threatened Qinhua. Qinhua glanced at Gu Erxi and then looked around the cave. The cave walls were smooth and there were no tools for hiding or self-defense. She didn't know martial arts. If she had to fight to the death,

No chance of winning at all.

Gu Erxi looked at Qinhua's dark eyes, and said, "Don't even think about escaping. Even if our family lets you escape, you can't escape from this cave."

Qinhua was knocked unconscious. She didn't know where she was, let alone that she was still in the Jade Dew Palace at this time. She said, "General Manager Gu, I have no enmity with you. Manager Gu will let me go."

Bar!"

Gu Erxi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Our family also wants to let the girl go. The girl is so young and beautiful, and she is a popular person around the emperor. She has a bright future!" Before Gu Erxi entered the cell, he knew that Qinhua was the emperor's person.

of red people.

Seeing that Gu Erxi was very cunning, Qinhua said, "As long as the general manager lets me go, I will definitely be grateful to the general manager for his kindness."

Gu Erxi shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense with me or negotiate terms with me," and said, "Hand over the keys!"

"This slave really doesn't know what key the chief steward is talking about?" Qinhua said.

Gu Er smiled happily, "That criminal Su Xinwei received the key that Mr. Su left for her, so we don't believe that Mr. Qin didn't leave the key to the treasure house to you?"

Gu Erxi didn't believe Qinhua's story. He thought Qinhua didn't want to hand over the key and was deliberately deceiving him, so she lied about not knowing.

Qinhua was very surprised when she heard Gu Erxi mention the treasure house. Qin's father had never mentioned the treasure house to her.

Qinhua was the first to hear that her father had such a fortune. If she hadn't heard about it from Gu Erxi's mouth, Qinhua would have been kept in the dark her whole life.

Qinhua looked at Gu Erxi and asked in astonishment, "What kind of treasure house has my father never mentioned to me?"

Gu Erxi laughed loudly after hearing this, "Master Qin never mentioned to you that our family, Shen, Su, and Qin had a treasure house underground in Gushui Village, but the treasure house has four keys. If you want to

To open the treasure house, you must gather these four keys."

Gu Erxi reminded Qinhua, and Qinhua was stunned when she heard Gu Erxi's words. She couldn't believe what Gu Erxi said was true, because Qin's father had never mentioned it to her in so many years.

Qinhua was not the only one who was surprised, but also Ding Mu, who was leaning against the rock wall and eavesdropping.

What surprised Ding Mu was not the key to the underground treasure house, but the fact that the person captured by Gu Erxi was Qinhua.

Ding Mu's forehead was throbbing with veins, his hands clenched into fists, and he gritted his teeth to resist the urge to rush out. After thinking for a long time, he turned around and ran out of the cave.

Qinhua was shocked and immediately understood that Gu Erxi's purpose of arresting her was to get the key from her, open the door of the treasure house, and take possession of the contents inside.

Knowing the cause of the matter, Qinhua had a plan to deal with it. She looked at Gu Erxi and said, "General Manager Gu also knows how valuable that key is. How could this slave carry such a valuable thing with him?"

Qinhua deliberately led Gu Erxi into being deceived. Gu Erxi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Of course we know that you can't carry such valuable things with you. You just need to tell us where you hide them."

After Qinhua heard Gu Erxi's words, she blinked and a plan came to her mind.

"If I hand over the key to the general manager, will the general manager release me?" Qinhua negotiated terms with Gu Erxi.

"Yes." Gu Erxi responded.

Qinhua said, "How about I take the chief steward to get it?"

As soon as Gu Erxi heard that Qinhua wanted to go with him to get the key, he immediately objected, "No, who knows what kind of dirty trick you are playing. If I take you there, wouldn't I be dead if I am discovered? Leave you alone.

Here, I will get the key and let you go back."

Gu Erxi also wanted to keep Qinhua, so that if he was caught with Qinhua as a hostage, he could use Qinhua to threaten Nangong Ao.

Qinhua also knew that it was impossible for Gu Erxi to let her go. Her intention in saying this was just to give Gu Erxi a hug and then bargain with him.

"The general manager doesn't believe what I'm saying, so how can I believe the general manager's words?" Qinhua asked.

Gu Erxi said proudly, "Our family always keeps its word and never loses its strictness."
