Chapter 232 Secretly happy
In the end, Mrs. Luo left in disappointment.
Two days later, Mrs. Luo passed away due to illness. All the people she had been friends with went to express their condolences. Shangyun Zongfu also sent Xingcheng to pay a visit, which attracted the attention of many people.
Even many families with daughters and grandchildren have thoughts about Xingcheng.
Of course, not everyone can make plans for the young master of Shangyun Zongfu!
In recent days, the eldest prince lost contact with Yuelou and became inexplicably panicked.
Whether it was the dilapidated courtyard in the south of the city or the secret passage in the backyard of the Shen Mansion, the eldest prince had never seen Yue Tower.
Even, he couldn't get in touch with several of Yue Lou's subordinates.
That night, the eldest prince, unable to sleep peacefully, was standing at the window in a daze. A black figure came out from the dark corner on the right. In the moment when the eldest prince was stunned, he quickly pushed the door in from the outside and closed the door behind his back. , stepped forward and knelt down heavily.
The eldest prince!!
Who?
What is this for?
"Who are you……"
Because the room was dimly lit and Zhi covered his face with a black scarf, the eldest prince did not recognize the person for a while.
"Meet the eldest prince!"
Chi knelt down on one knee and saluted the eldest prince respectfully.
"Are you the Moon Lord's bodyguard?"
The eldest prince, who had met Zhen several times, only recognized the person when Zhen raised his head.
"It's my subordinate!"
Chi answered with a serious look, with a trace of sadness and anger on his expressionless face.
For a moment, the ominous premonition surged in the eldest prince's heart again, making him unable to help but make random guesses.
"But the Moon Lord has something to ask you to come and deliver a message?"
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, the eldest prince pretended to be relaxed and asked.
However, there was a hint of sadness on the expressionless face of Zheng, which really surprised the eldest prince, and for a time he thought he was seeing something wrong.
You know, every time he meets Qi, he is expressionless and a tool without any emotional fluctuations, which is rare today!
Thinking like this in his heart, the eldest prince also knew that something must have happened, otherwise the tool man would have such a change in mood!
"The master has been missing for several days, and his life and death are still unknown!"
Just when the eldest prince was lost in thought, Chi answered again, and what he said confirmed the reason for his uneasiness.
Thinking about Yue Lou's abilities again, the eldest prince could not even imagine that something like this would happen to someone like him!
"The Moon Master may be out for something..."
"Won't!"
The eldest prince expressed his inner conjecture and wanted to comfort him with a few words, but he didn't expect to be decisively denied by him.
"Master would never act like this!"
"Even if he goes out on important matters, he will still contact his subordinates."
Having followed Yue Lou for many years, Zhen was very aware of all his master's habits, and he spoke with a cold and firm tone.
After hearing this, the eldest prince couldn't help but feel doubtful again, wondering what happened to Yuelou!
"Have you found any other abnormalities?"
Immediately, the eldest prince also asked with a serious face.
"More than twenty subordinates died, and that person was also rescued!"
After a brief moment of silence, Chi told the eldest prince the truth.
These words made the eldest prince even more frightened and his whole body became nervous.
"That person..."
"Rescued?"
The eldest prince, who was so frightened and panicked in his heart, with beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at Xiao with a pale face.
You know, if someone discovers this matter, his majestic prince will be the one to blame.
Just because he was the one who drove away the palace guards that day, Yuelou locked the man into a secret passage.
Now that the man has been rescued, does anyone doubt him?
If so, how can he save himself?
If someone catches someone and stabs him in front of a safe place, how can he get out of trouble?
Each question hit the eldest prince's heart directly, making him feel chills on his back and his legs weak.
"yes--"
Chi's affirmative answer made the eldest prince grit his teeth and clenched his fists in fear.
"How do you determine that the person was rescued?"
The eldest prince, who was feeling lucky, came to his senses and immediately asked Zhi.
In his opinion, the heavily guarded palace was not a place where anyone could come just as they wanted!
Furthermore, apart from the mother, son and Yue Lou, only Zhi knew about such a hidden secret passage. Who knew about the secret passage and rescued that person?
Once again, a cloud of doubt shrouded the eldest prince's mind, making him flustered and weak, but he still stared at Xiao.
"The black iron chains were all broken by everyone!"
Chi's cold and hard tone made the eldest prince take a breath, and then his eyesight turned black, his body swayed back and forth, and he almost fell down.
"Who did it?"
The eldest prince knew in his heart that the black iron was no ordinary thing!
Now, everyone has been disconnected, which shows how powerful this person is!
Such a powerful person not only knew the secret passage of the palace, but also rescued that man. Perhaps he already knew his relationship with Yue Lou!
Thinking of this, the eldest prince's legs were as soft as noodles and he sat straight on the chair behind him.
"Creak..."
Under the influence of gravity, the abnormal noise made by the chair was particularly harsh at night, making the eldest prince's scalp numb like a nocturne.
"I don't know——"
Chi's cold, emotionless eyes flickered briefly before he answered.
The eldest prince, who caught the flash of ambiguity in his eyes, suspected that he was not telling the truth.
Knowing that Chi was very skilled and could not be offended at the moment, the eldest prince could not bear to ask any further questions.
"Who is that person?"
Thinking of the man who was tightly covered in black robes, tied up with ropes, and finally imprisoned in the secret passage of the palace by Yuelou, the eldest prince thought it was a clue, so he asked Zhi again.
As soon as this question came up, the eldest prince, who was observing Zhen's expression closely, found that Zhen's expression was unnatural.
Perhaps it was because he had never lied to anyone before, so his eyes flashed again, his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously a few times, and he returned to his former indifference.
"I don't know!"
Zhi, who knew how important the Human Emperor was to Yue Lou, did not dare to reveal such an important matter easily when he did not know whether his master was dead or alive.
Xiao knew in his heart that if Yuelou knew that he had revealed this, he would probably take his life!
Therefore, Chi kept silent about this matter!
And used lies to excuse the eldest prince.
The more this happened, the more the eldest prince became suspicious, uneasy and frightened.
Therefore, the eldest prince's heart and eyes were filled with the person imprisoned in the secret passage by the Yue Tower.
He desperately wants to know who that person is?
I really want to find out why Yuelou imprisoned that person?
What is the relationship between that person and Yue Lou?
Only by figuring out the identity of that person and the relationship between him and Yue Lou could he know how to act next.
Perhaps, that person can help him avoid the crisis!
The eldest prince, who was planning for his future in his heart, his eyes sometimes flickered and sometimes darkened, completely forgetting about the Qi kneeling in front of him.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he felt that he was looking forward to Yue Lou's early death.
If Yuelou dies, he will die without any symptoms. If he is discovered by others or reported to Emperor Dingkang, everything happening now will have nothing to do with him!
As soon as this idea came up, the eldest prince felt that this was the best!
However, in the face of Qi, he did not dare to reveal his true thoughts at all.
"Since the Moon Master has lost contact, you should follow this prince first!"
Thinking of Zhen's abilities, the eldest prince thought it would be best to use him for his own use.
"yes--"
After being silent for two or three breaths, Qi nodded in agreement without any objection.
Chapter completed!
