Chapter 70 The Missing Concubine Gong (2)
In the study of Prince Gong's Mansion, Murong Yu stood behind the study and brushed a pen.While listening to the report from the person standing behind Suan, he said calmly: "Cuiwei Garden? It used to be the Gu family's place, what did King Ning do there?"

"My lord, forgive me, but my subordinates don't know." The person standing in front of the desk seemed to be the butler of Prince Ning's mansion.

Murong Yu was silent for a while, before he put down the pen in his hand and sighed lightly: "Seventh brother has grown up, and he has started to have his own ideas." The housekeeper's expression changed slightly, he hesitated for a while but couldn't help but persuade: "The Sixth Highness, the Seventh Highness may... just play for a while..."

Murong Yu snorted softly, and said calmly: "If you want to play, you will go to the other courtyard of the King of Anxi at night. He thinks that Zhao Ziyu is pleasing to his eyes, doesn't he? Also, why did he suddenly want to go to Cuiwei Garden?" ?”

The butler also shook his head in a daze, and said: "His Royal Highness Seven has been in a bad mood for the past few days, and he refuses to let the servants of the mansion follow him wherever he goes. He only brought a few personal guards with him. Let’s go to Suchenghou Mansion.”

"Mu Changming?" Murong Yu frowned, various things have been chaotic these few days.It's fine if he accidentally caused dissatisfaction with his father before, and Concubine Rou is pregnant again. Once the prince is born, he has to consider Mu Changming's loyalty.And the Nine Turns Linglong... It's fine if it's groundless, but if it's true, even if it can only be given to the father first in the end, it must be dedicated to the father through the hands of Prince Gong's mansion.

Gu Xiuting, who had been reluctant to confide a word before, seemed to be a little loose these two days, which made Murong Yu more cautious.Or...should Gu Xiuting be tried again before tomorrow?
"You go back, the king knows about this." Murong Yu said lightly.

"Then the lord... His Highness the Seventh Prince..." the housekeeper hesitated, he was originally Concubine Yun's confidant in the palace.Only because Concubine Yun was worried about the two sons who left the palace to build the mansion, especially the youngest son who had been naughty since childhood, she sent him out.Compared with ordinary servants, he is naturally more dedicated.

Murong Yu was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Let him do whatever he wants, I will send someone to take care of him." Murong Yu also knew the temper of this younger brother, and forcibly took Gu Xiuting away from him. If the ball of evil fire is not released, it will not be over.This also forced Murong Yu to face up to Gu Xiuting's influence on Murong An.That's right, I originally planned to get rid of Gu Xiuting after the seventh brother got married, but now...after the Dragon King's Birthday and Nine Turns Linglong, I'll get rid of him.When a person dies, the seventh brother can't ask him, the older brother, to pay for his life, can he?

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

"Report to my lord, something is wrong!" Before the steward could leave, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the chief manager of Prince Kung's Mansion appeared at the door, glanced at the butler and said quickly: "My lord, something is not right, my concubine disappeared!"

"What's going on?" Murong Yu's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice.

The steward took a breath, gathered his mind, and said: "The princess went out to offer incense this morning, but she disappeared on the way back. The servants of the palace only found the carriage of the princess on the side of the road not far from the official road. The princess... whereabouts unknown."

Murong Yu said with an ugly face: "Why does she come out of the city so well?"

Seeing Murong Yu's stern face, the manager lowered his eyes and did not answer, not daring to say that there has been no news of the princess marrying into the palace for three years, so he would go to the Songzi Guanyin Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to pray for a child on this day every month for the past two years.Naturally, these princes knew about it, but they were just furious at the sudden incident.

"Send someone to look for it immediately!" Murong Yu ordered with a gloomy face.Zhu Mingyan is the only daughter of Prince Pingnan's concubine, and she is much more doted on than the males in the Prince's Mansion of Pingnan County.It was precisely because of this that Duke Pingnan wanted Prince Gong's Mansion unconditionally. If something happened to Zhu Mingyan, Duke Pingnan might turn against Prince Gong's Mansion.

The manager nodded repeatedly and said, "This subordinate has already sent someone to look for it."

Murong Yu nodded, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I will go in person. Send a message to the Pingnan Palace and ask them to help find it together." While speaking, Murong Yu had already walked out the door quickly.At this time, he naturally didn't care about Murong An's petty troubles.Finding Zhu Mingyan is the most important thing.For a moment, Murong Yu became more and more bored with the missing Zhu Mingyan.He clearly knew that there were a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and he was still running around, but now that something happened, he still needs to clean it up.It's really not enough to succeed but more to fail!
The days before the Dragon King's birthday passed by while everyone in the capital was busy and anxious.Only about two of them were really relaxed and freehand.One was naturally Rong Jin, the Ninth Prince of Xiyue who stayed out of the matter and just watched the show, while the other was Mu Qingyi who was recuperating in her courtyard.Mu Qingyi, who was diagnosed by the doctor as having developed a rash after accidentally eating something she was allergic to, naturally couldn't attend the annual Dragon King's birthday ceremony.Mrs. Mu was indifferent to this, but Mu Changming was secretly relieved.Although he also had some suspicions that something was wrong, he just comforted Mu Qingyi with a few words and then let it go.

On the morning of the Dragon King's birthday, after having breakfast, the Suchenghou's mansion became quiet.The masters of the mansion, including Mrs. Mu, all left the city in a carriage, and even most of the servants were given the grace to go out of the city to play. The entire Suchenghou Mansion immediately became empty, and Mu Qingyi's Lan Zhi Apart from Zhu'er and Ying'er, there was no one left in the courtyard.

"Miss, everyone in the house has left. Let's go too!" Ying'er Linglong looked at Mu Qingyi with excited eyes.In the past few years, Daddy's biggest wish is to rescue the eldest son and the eldest lady. Although the eldest lady is no longer there, it is also a very happy thing to be able to rescue the eldest son.

Mu Qingyi put down the teacup leisurely, and said with a faint smile, "No, you and Zhu'er stay here."

"Ah?" Ying'er was startled, looked at Mu Qingyi and said worriedly: "Miss wants to go out alone?"

Mu Qingyi smiled and said, "I'll go out with Wuxin, you and Zhu'er stay here just in case. In case someone comes to me suddenly..." Ying'er also knew the seriousness, and nodded seriously after hearing Mu Qingyi's words Said: "Ying'er understands, Miss, don't worry. Ying'er knows what to do." Zhu'er was young, and she had never seen anything in the world while following Mu Qingyi's side.If there were any emergencies, Pearl would definitely not be able to deal with them alone.

Mu Qingyi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, Wuxin."

Wuxin, who was hiding in the dark, came out without a sound, and his behavior of coming and going without a trace every time scared Zhu'er a lot.Wuxin didn't care, and stood at the door with hands down, "Miss, I'm ready."

Mu Qingyi stood up with a smile and said, "Wait a while."

A quarter of an hour later, two men appeared not far from Suchenghou's residence.The young man in gray looked cold and solemn, and he seemed taciturn at first glance.The white-clothed young man in brocade clothes looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with delicate features, gentle and jade-like brows and a smile, like a young master who was loved by a wealthy family and didn't know the sufferings of the world.
