After hearing the news brought back by the people from Yama Palace, Murong Xi felt uncertain. At first, she thought that one of the five daughters would definitely be the daughter of Elder Yin. But who knew that among the five daughters,
Surprisingly, no one has a mole behind their ears. Where is Elder Yin’s daughter?
"Xier, is there really such a cruel father in this world that he would send his biological daughter to Yihongyuan?" Feng Mingye asked uncertainly.
Feng Mingye knew that he couldn't bear to let his daughter suffer any injustice, but the behavior of the Master was so inhumane that he was not sure whether the Master's conscience was still there.
"Although Lord Shangshu is ambitious, he doesn't look like someone who sent his own daughter to a brothel. If he gave his daughter away as a concubine in order to win over officials, I believe it. Sending him to a brothel would not do anything to him.
Good thing." Murong Xi said coldly.
Murong Xi's face was very ugly, because she sympathized with Elder Yin's experience and hoped that her daughter would be safe.
Seeing Murong Xi's anxiety, Feng Mingye comforted him: "We will definitely find the person."
Just as he was talking, the people from Yama Palace came back to report that no women had been sent out of the Shangshu Mansion in recent years, and no slaves had been sent to brothels.
Feng Mingye and Murong Xi looked at each other. It seemed that the two of them had a good connection and must have thought of something.
Murong Xi was the first to speak: "Can you first check all the maids in Shangshu's house to see if they have the characteristics that Elder Yin mentioned."
Since no one was sent out of the Shangshu Mansion, even the slaves who made mistakes were not sent to the brothel. That means that the girl is still in the Shangshu Mansion. None of the five ladies are the most likely slaves.
.
Lord Shangshu was really different from ordinary people, he actually kept his daughter by his side as a maid. Murong Xi tried hard not to lose her temper, she was really worried that she would rush to Shangshu Mansion and cripple Lord Shangshu.
"Yes." After listening to Murong Xi's instructions, the man in black from Yama Palace immediately left the palace.
"I hope I didn't guess wrong this time, otherwise..." Murong Xi said unimaginably.
"Otherwise, something might have happened to Elder Yin's daughter." Feng Mingye said what Murong Xi was unwilling to say.
Murong Xi was most worried about this outcome, so she hoped that the subordinates of Yama Luodian would bring back good news.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the people from Yama Palace brought back the news. In the middle of the night, Murong Xi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and fell asleep just before dawn. So Feng Mingye went to bed alone
People came out and saw the man in black.
The man in black said in a low voice: "Go back to Master, there is news from Shangshu Mansion."
"Hurry up, have you found it?" Feng Mingye asked anxiously.
"Back to the master, she has been found. I was just worried about alerting others, so I didn't alert her. However, we have arranged for people to protect her." The man in black said respectfully.
"Well done, where did you find her?" Feng Mingye asked curiously.
"She is the eldest maid next to the official lady of the Shang Shu family. The first lady will be unruly and willful, and she will suffer. However, she did not expect that the Shang Shu family's Miss Di is kind to her." The man in black told the story of the inquiry.
In order to check whether all the maids in Shangshu Mansion had moles behind their ears, the people of Yama Palace arranged for many women to be placed in Shangshu Mansion. After investigation, they discovered that the eldest maid next to this legitimate lady was Elder Yin's.
daughter.
Murong Xi heard the noise coming from outside, so she put on her clothes and walked out. She had already heard the news that the man in black had just brought back. Same thing.
They are both daughters of Lord Shangshu. One is a high-ranking concubine, while the other has become a maidservant.
"Master Shangshu is really good at torturing people. He really didn't regard her as his daughter." Murong Xi said.
Feng Mingye sighed and asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Aye, I want to go to Shangshu Mansion tonight to have a look." Murong Xi said.
"Okay" Feng Mingye said.
Feng Mingye really knew Murong Xi very well. Ever since she heard Elder Yin's story, she had sympathized with Elder Yin's mother and daughter. If Xi'er didn't go to Shangshu Mansion to confirm in person, she would definitely not feel at ease. Otherwise,
When I went to bed last night, I stopped tossing and turning.
After the man in black left, Murong Xi planned to go to the medicine room to visit Elder Yin. Feng Mingye naturally would not let Murong Xi go to the medicine room alone, so he sent her to the door of the medicine room before going to the study.
As soon as Elder Yin saw Murong Xi, he asked anxiously: "Pluto Princess, do you know her whereabouts?"
Elder Yin wanted to know the whereabouts of her daughter, and she felt a little uneasy because she was worried that something bad had happened to her daughter.
Murong Xi felt pity and said: "Don't worry, Elder Yin, we have found your daughter. However, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, we sent someone to protect her secretly. Tonight, I will go to the palace to have a look in person."
"Master Shangshu actually left her in the palace? Didn't the previous investigators come back and say that there was no daughter of mine among the five ladies?" Elder Yin asked excitedly.
"Indeed not, but your child is really in Shangshu Mansion. Elder Yin, your body is too weak. I know you are worried about your daughter, but you should also pay attention to your own health. I have arranged for someone to protect her here.
, we will bring the person back when the arrangements are made." Murong Xi comforted him.
"I know you will definitely do what you promised me. With what you just said, I feel relieved." Elder Yin murmured.
After comforting Elder Yin, Murong Xi checked her pulse again. Elder Yin's pulse condition did not change much. Murong Xi knew that only by seeing her daughter with her own eyes could she rest in peace and recuperate.
Murong Xi placed Elder Yin in a side courtyard, so that it would be easier to take care of him.
In fact, Elder Yin has been taking medicine on time in the past two days, but his heart ailments still require medical attention. As long as he is sure that Elder Yin's daughter is safe, Elder Yin will recover faster.
"Xi'er, are you worried that Master Shangshu will murder his daughter?" Feng Mingye said after thinking for a while.
"If I don't confirm it myself, I won't feel at ease. Moreover, Master Shangshu is very hidden. He and Elder Yin lived in the mountains for more than two years, and I am afraid that he has secretly learned the art of refining Gu.
"Murong Xi murmured.
Murong Xi actually suspected that Lord Shangshu was using Elder Yin's identity to cover himself up, so he wanted to investigate in person. Elder Yin was really too cunning. If he hadn't found Elder Yin this time, he didn't know how many things would have happened.
Woolen cloth.
Feng Mingye didn't say anything more, because he knew that what Murong Xi decided would not be changed easily.
At midnight, the two of them changed into night clothes and prepared to set off. Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi's slightly protruding belly and smiled silly. Murong Xi asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Mingye said with a silly smile: "I remembered that in the palace of Linfeng Kingdom, you were also wearing night clothes, but this time you were pregnant when you wore these clothes."
After listening to Feng Mingye's words, Murong Xi also lowered her head and looked at her belly. She smiled sweetly, not knowing whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl this time.
Murong Xi put some medicinal powder and pills in her arms. Originally, Feng Ming
Ye disagreed, but thought that Shangshu's Mansion was indeed unsafe, so he simply didn't stop him.
The two people stood outside the Shangshu's Mansion, but did not go in. Because the Shangshu's Mansion was heavily guarded, it was beyond Murong Xi's imagination. However, people who did not understand Gu refining techniques could not see the problems in the Shangshu's Mansion at all.
"What's wrong, Xi'er?" Although Feng Mingye didn't see the problem, seeing how vigilant Murong Xi was, she knew that the matter was definitely not simple.
Murong Xi took Feng Mingye and hid, and said with a heavy face: "Master Shangshu should already know that someone is investigating his daughter."
"You didn't even enter the gate and you already knew it?" Feng Mingye asked doubtfully.
Murong Xi sighed and said: "Sure enough, I guessed it right. Lord Shangshu may have learned the art of refining Gu a long time ago. Although there are no secret guards around the Shangshu Mansion, it looks very peaceful. But in fact, everything is surrounded by Gu insects.
And these Gu insects are like the secret guards in the palace. As soon as someone comes close to the Shangshu Mansion, they will notice it and poison them."
Feng Mingye understood what Murong Xi said because Murong Xi and Ji Limo had also used Gu insects to set up formations before.
It's just that he didn't expect that Master Shangshu's Gu refining skills were so proficient. Fortunately, Xi'er reacted quickly, otherwise they would have discovered it.
"Then what should we do next?" Feng Mingye asked with a frown.
"I took some medicinal powder before, and I had to sprinkle it on our bodies before going in in order to cover up the smell on our bodies." Murong Xi said in a low voice.
"I didn't expect Lord Shangshu to be so secretive and treacherous. Xi'er, do you think the people in the Yama Palace have been discovered by him a long time ago?" Feng Mingye said after thinking that something bad was going on.
"Well, if the Gu array had been deployed before Elder Yin was caught, our people would have been discovered long ago." Murong Xi analyzed.
"So, Elder Yin's daughter might be in danger?" Feng Mingye asked.
Yes, this is exactly what Murong Xi is worried about. If their people have been discovered, they are most likely to be bewitched by Master Shangshu. Because the people in Shangshu Mansion are not opponents of Yama Luodian at all, so he will not be so stupid.
.However, Elder Yin’s daughter may be in danger.
"We'd better go in and take a look first. I'm worried that the people in Yama Palace have been captured by him." After speaking, Murong Xi sprinkled the powder on Feng Mingye and herself.
The two men quickly went up to the roof of Shangshu Mansion, and in the front yard they saw the people from Yama Hall being tied to the big tree in the center of the yard. They saw that their bodies were covered in scars, and they could tell that they had gone through a severe torture.
torture.
Feng Mingye saw that he was tied to a tree and could not be saved for the time being, and the knuckles of his fingers cracked loudly when he pinched them.
Murong Xi knew that Feng Mingye felt more sad when he saw his subordinates being tortured than when he was injured. They couldn't alert the enemy now, otherwise all their previous efforts would be wasted.
She gently squeezed Feng Mingye's hand to comfort him, telling him not to be impulsive.
Feng Mingye nodded and told Murong Xi not to worry. Feng Mingye gritted her teeth and turned around to look at the two people tied to the tree, then flew across the front yard, cast witchcraft and continued to search for the whereabouts of Master Shangshu.
.
They found Master Shangshu in the study. He seemed to be discussing something with the second young master. The second young master didn't look very happy, and it seemed that the two of them had an argument.
Lord Shangshu had a gloomy face and said coldly to the second young master: "Do you agree or not?"
"Father, my son has said it many times, and I have made concessions before. You should not take advantage of our previous relationship. Therefore, I will not agree this time." The second young master frowned and said excitedly.
