Chapter 145(1/2)
"prescription?"
What prescription?
Qiu Wen's eyes flashed, thinking that he could see Lu Nan pouring medicine dregs in the past two days. Could it be that this medicine was not drunk by Lu Nan at all, but by Xiao Lintian?
Now that Xiao Lintian trusts Ling Yu, does he even dare to drink the medicine prescribed by that bitch?
No wonder Heizi was lost, the prince didn’t doubt Ling Yu at all!!
Qiu Wenshuang was a little annoyed. She was careless and made Xiao Lintian trust Ling Yu without knowing it!
"My lord, are you really not going to help find Yue Yue?"
Qiu Wenshuang said cautiously: "What the princess said makes sense. Maybe the two children were kidnapped by the same group of people! As long as one is found, the other can be found too!"
Xiao Lintian was still angry and said irritably.
"Didn't you hear her say that she wanted to offer a large reward to find someone? Okay, she has money and Qin Shan to help, so she can find it herself! Why should I meddle in other people's business?"
Qiu Wenshuang still refused to give up and advised: "My lord, don't say such angry words! I just met the princess at the door and I thought of something!"
"That day at the palace banquet, didn't the princess expose the fact that Prince Pingyang's son was a bastard? I heard that Princess Pingyang was divorced by Prince Pingyang because of this! She couldn't bear the shame and hanged herself!"
"Your Majesty, could it be that King Pingyang or Princess Pingyang's family resented the princess for this matter, so they ordered people to kidnap Heizi and Yue Yue?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you check on these two families?"
Xiao Lintian's heart moved and he fell into deep thought.
Seeing Xiao Lintian thinking, Lu Nan winked at Qiu Wenshuang.
"Wenshuang, go and make a pot of tea for the prince and get some food! The prince has been looking for sunspots all day, so he hasn't even eaten a single drop of water!"
"Let the prince eat something to fill his stomach. We have to go out to find someone!"
Qiu Wenshuang achieved his goal and immediately said enthusiastically: "Okay, I'll get you something to eat right away!"
As soon as Qiu Wenshuang left, Zhao Xuan, who had been watching Ling Yu's movements, stepped in from outside the house.
"My lord, you made the mistake of blaming the princess this time!"
Zhao Xuan just saw Xiao Lintian throwing a divorce letter to Ling Yu and wanted to explain it to Ling Yu, but he was afraid that Xiao Lintian would lose face, so he kept holding on.
At this time, only Xiao Lintian and Lu Nan were left in the study, and Zhao Xuan quickly reported to Xiao Lintian what Ling Yu had done today.
"The princess went to ask the old Marquis to help find someone, but she didn't expect that the old Marquis was out of the capital for military training! If she and Qin Shan had no personal relationship, she just asked Qin Shan to help find Ling Yue!"
Xiao Lintian was stunned for a moment. So, he really misunderstood Ling Yu?
Xiao Lintian was a little annoyed, he was not an impulsive person!
Why are you so impulsive over and over again when it comes to Ling Yu and Ling Yue?
"Your Majesty, Ling Yue is really missing! This matter is getting more and more difficult!"
Zhao Xuan frowned and said: "I asked the secret guard. Qiu Wenshuang has been at the house today and has never gone out! There is nothing suspicious about it!"
"The maids and nuns in Heiziyuan are acting as usual and haven't gone out!"
Xiao Lintian was distracted, tapping his legs with his slender fingers, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
"Is there no suspicious person in the house?" Xiao Lintian asked.
"Steward Fan went out once, and the secret guard said he was going to Chencun Farm to collect rent. There was nothing unusual about him!"
Zhao Xuan heard Qiu Wenshuang's words outside just now, and he said quickly.
"Pingyang King, my people have gone to investigate today! After Princess Pingyang hanged herself, King Pingyang took his little bully to the farm to avoid the limelight! I have sent people to explore the truth!"
"If Ling Yue and Heizi are locked up together, if you find Heizi, you can find Ling Yue!"
Xiao Lintian nodded and asked casually: "Where is King Pingyang's farm?"
Zhao Xuan immediately said: "Chencun has a farm left by his ancestors, and there are several nearby villages, but the largest one is Chencun!"
Is it Chencun again?
Xiao Lintian thought of what Zhao Xuan said just now and said, "Zhao Xuan, Lu Nan, what do you think of Butler Fan?"
Zhao Xuan and Lu Nan looked at each other and knew that Xiao Lintian would not ask this question for no reason.
Lu Nan hesitated and said: "My lord, do you still remember that time when you twisted your mouth to insult the princess, but you ended up killing her with a sword?
Of course Xiao Lintian remembered this and looked at Lu Nan doubtfully.
Zhao Xuan was not at home at the time and did not know about this.
Lu Nan smiled bitterly and said, "My subordinates listened to the ladies chatting afterwards and found out that this crooked man is Butler Fan's nephew!"
"My subordinates also secretly observed Butler Fan afterwards, fearing that he would resent the prince and take revenge on you! But Butler Fan has always behaved normally!"
Xiao Lintian's face became solemn, and he frowned and said: "Heizi walked out of the palace on his own! Even if King Pingyang wants to abduct him, he must have someone inside!"
"Zhao Xuan, find someone to keep an eye on the maids and grandmothers in Heiziyuan and see who they are in contact with!"
"Butler Fan will also send people to keep an eye on him, and then send people to confirm where he has been today except to the farm!"
Without further ado, Zhao Xuan knew that the situation was urgent and went to find someone without saying a word.
Qiu Wenshuang had just brought the food box from the kitchen. When she saw Zhao Xuan leaving from a distance, her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to her.
Qiu Wenshuang's heart tightened, he quickened his pace and walked to the study, shouting: "Your Majesty, I have brought you food..."
Lu Nan pushed Xiao Lintian over from the desk, and Xiao Lintian said: "We have something urgent to do, so we won't eat!"
"Hey, why don't you eat? Eating won't delay anything! Your Majesty, didn't Lunan say you haven't eaten for a day? You have to take care of yourself..."
Before Qiu Wenshuang finished speaking, the two of them had already left the study.
By the time Qiu Wenshuang chased him out with a food box, they were already far away.
Qiu Wenshuang stood there, watching the two people walk away in confusion.
What happened? What did Zhao Xuan and Xiao Lintian say?
She subconsciously wanted to walk to Butler Fan's yard.
After taking two steps, Qiu Wenshuang realized that she couldn't expose herself now!
Qiu Wenshuang turned around naturally and handed the food box to the guard guarding the door.
"Your Majesty doesn't care about eating. You two should share this meal. I'll give it to you again later!"
"Thank you, Sister Wenshuang!" The guard guarding the door happily took the food box.
Qiu Wenshuang left Linshui Pavilion, his brown eyes full of cruel coldness.
**
Ling Yu angrily left Prince Yi's Mansion. Just as he was about to go to Jixiang Tower to find Geng Xiaohao, he saw Qin Shan running over with two brothers.
As soon as he saw Ling Yu, he said: "Ayu, I received news that there is a suspicious family in the East Village. The villagers said they heard children crying at his house..."
"I checked and found out that this family's surname is Chen. Both brothers are lazy. My elder brother, Chen Cang, had sold children before. He killed someone and was sentenced to be executed by the Empress Qiu!"
"But he also has a brother named Chen Mao, who is said to be doing this kind of thing..."
Before Qin Shan finished speaking, Geng Xiaohao and several Biaozi brothers also came on horseback.
Geng Xiaohao jumped off his horse and glanced at Qin Shan doubtfully, then whispered into Ling Yu's ear.
"Sister, I found out that there is a suspicious family in Chen Village. His house is near Xiao Lintian Farm! My people went to check and saw Butler Fan from Prince Yi's Mansion leaving the farm!"
"Chencun?"
Ling Yu understood when she heard that Butler Fan had also been to Chencun!
Heizi and Ling Yue must have been captured by Butler Fan’s people!
She already knew the relationship between Waizui and Butler Fan from Aunt Li’s mouth!
She always felt that she had neglected something, and it turned out to be this!
"Let's go! Talk as we walk."
Geng Xiaohao asked a brother to give the horse to Ling Yu.
Ling Yu was good at equestrian skills in her previous life. She got on the horse without saying a word and the group rushed to Chencun.
Geng Xiaohao's brother took them to the suspicious house in the East Village, and saw a dilapidated carriage parked at the door.
Then the faint cry of a child could be heard inside. Ling Yu's heart skipped a beat and she reached out anxiously to push open the door.
As soon as the door opened, I heard clearer cries coming from inside, mixed with the screams of several children.
"Uuuu...Dad...Mom...Help..."
"Woo... I want my father! I want my mother!"
That little voice was so heart-wrenching that it almost broke Ling Yu's heart.
She hurriedly ran towards the house, her voice trembling.
"Yueyue, don't be afraid! Mom is here!"
