Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 353 Missing
Fang Li couldn't get the ball, so his fat body lay on the bed, he couldn't move, he was tired after lifting his head for a while, and lay on the bed sideways, with only a pair of eyes rolling around, looking at the ball in Gongsun Lan's hand ball.

"It's not for you, it's not for you, come and grab it?" Gongsun Lan teased him.

"Still competing with a child?" Shen Xinniang smiled and shook her head.

Gongsun Lan gave a long sigh, and handed the colored ball to Fang Li, but she didn't expect that the little Fang Li had a bit of a temper, and turned her face, as if she was very dismissive of the little ball that came to her door.

Gongsun Lan smiled and took the ball away, tossing it between her hands, the bell stuffed inside the ball jingled.

"Now you are the only one who is willing to play with me! My sister-in-law is taken care of by my brother all day long. My brother said that I am too careless and reckless, so he won't let me get too close to my sister-in-law. Are my little sisters married now? People, that is to say, people, being disciplined by the parents at home, studying hard in the boudoir! I am the only one who is idle, and I have nothing to do!" Gongsun Lan complained.

Shen Xinniang looked at her sideways when she heard the words, "Is it so bad? What do you want to do?"

"Of course it's not good. Nowadays, even banquets are not allowed in the capital, and there is no chance to get together to play. You have to be careful when you get together in private. You don't even dare to have bells, drums, and qin music, for fear that Jin Wuwei will rush to the house. Go. You don’t have fun, you don’t have fun, what’s the point?” Gongsun Lan complained.

"Oh, it's so boring, so what's so interesting?" Shen Xinniang looked at her with a smile and asked, "You don't think someone is missing someone, that's why you complain like this? Don't you like riding a horse? No one is with you, Wouldn’t it be fun to walk the horse by yourself?”

Gongsun Lan turned her face hard when she heard the words, "Speaking of walking horses. Xin Niang, in the past two months, I always feel that someone is watching me secretly, like a ghost, and follow me wherever I go. But When I turned around to look for it, I couldn’t find it at all. Tell me, did I overthink it? Or is someone really following me?”

Shen Xinniang frowned slightly when she heard the words, "Did you tell General Gongsun about this?"

"Well, you said that others are fine, why are you following me? Who would follow me? I've been following me for two months, and I haven't seen any action? Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much, there's nothing wrong What about your son?" Gongsun Lan curled her lips, "I didn't tell my brother, he is busy taking care of his sister-in-law all day long, and he has to go to Fengyukou Daying Camp, so don't bother him if there is nothing like this. It's just words Now that I've reached this point, Xin Niang doesn't have to worry, it's probably because I'm paranoid!"

"How can you be careless?" Shen Xinniang shook her head and was about to give orders.

"Hey, hey - if I knew you were so nervous, I wouldn't tell you, it's nothing wrong! What are you doing in such a panic? Maybe it's some idle rogue, if he doesn't jump out to make me uncomfortable , if you tell me to catch him, you must make him look good! Does Xin Niang not trust my kung fu? You take good care of Xiao Shizi, I am such a big person, can't even take care of myself?" Gongsun Lanhun didn't care Said.

After finishing speaking, he smiled and went to tease Fang Li again. He just said it casually and didn't take this matter to heart at all.

If you say that at the beginning, she was a little nervous.But after so long, there was no movement at all. She felt that even if someone followed her, it would not be a big deal.But subconsciously, she has never been to a remote place with few people.

After Gongsun Lan had lunch at Prince Qi's mansion, Fang Li played for a while, and fell asleep from exhaustion, so she got up to leave.

As soon as she stepped out of the gate of the palace, Shen Xinniang told Jin Xiang: "Look for someone to follow Mrs. Gongsun secretly to see if someone is watching her, don't let her find out. If there is someone watching, you must find out why."

Jin Xiang took the lead.

Dan Xin said nervously at the side: "The lady thinks the matter is not simple? Look at the lady's expression so solemn?"

"Being able to follow her for two months, being so patient, the plan must be big. It won't be like what she said, it was done by some dandy. It must be a conspiracy. If it is not good for her, Her carefree personality, how can she do it without any precautions?" Shen Xinniang frowned slightly, twitching her fingers as if she had figured out something, but she shook her head, her black and white eyes were still puzzled.

Unexpectedly, at dusk, the secret guards of the palace sent by Shen Xiniang came back all wounded and reported: "Miss Gongsun was kidnapped!"

Shen Xinniang was taken aback for a moment, staring at the hidden guard.

The dark guard was panting, and it seemed that the wound on his body made it difficult for him to speak, "Xu noticed that the humble officials were following behind, so...he made a move. There is one more who is following them, and will leave a mark along the way."

"Hurry up and inform General Gongsun, and tell the prince to know." Shen Xinniang said immediately.

"The matter is so serious?" Dan Xin couldn't help being surprised. At noon, the lady Gongsun who was still holding Xiao Shizi in the palace, talking and laughing and teasing Xiao Shizi, just for a while, said that she was taken away by someone. kidnapped?How does it feel like singing?At this moment, she still felt a little stunned and unable to recover.

Jin Xiang hurriedly took orders and left.

Shen Xinniang's solemn expression made Danxin finally come to his senses, and realized that this was not a joke, not a storytelling and singing opera, I'm afraid that Mrs. Gongsun is really in danger.

"My lady, is Miss Gongsun okay? She... Who is going to arrest her? Why is she being arrested?" Dan Xin followed Shen Xiniang step by step, frowning, and asked very puzzled.

Shen Xinniang glanced at her, and then slowly shook her head after a long while.

"My lady doesn't know..." Dan Xin was even more worried.

After about a stick of incense, Gongsun Ling appeared in the courtyard of the palace with slight panting.

"Princess! I heard... I heard..." General Gongsun, who was always straightforward, was unable to say anything, but his resolute face was even more dignified.

Shen Xinniang came out of the main room when she heard the sound, and greeted her politely, she just nodded and said: "Yes, Mrs. Gongsun was taken away. I heard that the person who took her has been with her for two months. Time. She didn’t make a move all the time, so she didn’t take it seriously, thinking that some unscrupulous dude was playing tricks on her. But today those people suddenly made a move, and the hidden guards of the palace couldn’t fight, and they have already been taken out of the capital.”

Gongsun Ling's complexion changed drastically. Before Princess Qi said it herself, she could still hope that the person who sent the message was wrong, and everything was just a misunderstanding.

But when I heard it with my own ears, it seemed as if I was disillusioned, and all the expectations in my heart were in vain.He immediately turned around and walked out quickly.

"The secret guards of the palace are still following, leaving marks along the way," Shen Xinniang said behind.

Gongsun Ling was about to nod his head when he met Prince Qi who had just rushed back from the palace, he just cupped his hands, and before he even had time to say hello, he was about to pass by King Qi.

King Qi reached out to stop him, "Are you planning to chase him out like this?"

"My sister is important, the lord forgive me!" Gongsun Ling cupped his hands, walked sideways and quickly passed King Qi, and was about to leave the palace of King Qi in a hurry.

When he had already reached the main entrance of Prince Qi's Mansion, he remembered what the mark left by the hidden guards of the Palace was, and he didn't even ask clearly how to judge it.The so-called mistakes are easy to make while busy, the more panic and the more chaotic, it is true.Now his mind is in a mess, he is full of worries about his sister, his usual composure has been thrown aside, he doesn't even have the most basic judgment.

He clenched his fists angrily, and was about to turn around to go back, when he asked again, he saw Prince Qi coming at a fast pace, leading his horse.Prince Qi's attendants handed him the reins of a horse.

When he took the reins, Prince Qi had already got on his horse.

Gongsun Ling didn't say much, he just cupped his fists at him.

King Qi said "drive—" and the imperial horse walked ahead.

Gongsun Ling followed closely behind, and behind them were several guards from the palace.They all followed with horses, very fast.

A group of people went out of the west gate, and the hidden guards of the palace did not know where they were, and kept identifying the marks left by their companions, and followed the marks all the way.

The sky is getting late, the willows are on the moon.

The group of people who were traveling at an extremely fast speed suddenly stopped.

Gongsun Ling immediately panicked, "Why don't you leave?"

The secret guard of the palace who had been leading the way turned back and cupped his hands and said: "The mark is here, it has disappeared."

"What, what? What does this mean?" Gongsun Ling's voice changed.What this meant, he naturally had a guess in his mind.The secret guards of the palace have always left a mark, why did the mark suddenly disappear when we got here?It can only explain that the person who left the mark cannot continue to follow...

"Look around." King Qi ordered coldly.

The guards behind him immediately dispersed and looked around.In the night, the originally very quiet wilderness was not so peaceful at this time.

Gongsun Ling was sitting on horseback, looking up at the forked road ahead, he didn't want to delay for a moment, he wanted to find his sister, the sister he had taken care of for more than ten years and depended on each other for more than ten years.But now, the road ahead is dark, where is my sister?Is it still safe and sound?

Even the horse under him felt his uneasiness, kicking its hooves agitatedly, and gushing out gusts of hot air from its nose.

"My lord, wait here. I want to..." Before Gongsun Ling took a step forward, he heard that a guard at the side had discovered something.

He rode the horse faster than King Qi, and walked towards the guard who called out.When he saw the situation under the moonlight torch, his heart was already half cold.

The hidden guard in Prince Qi's mansion was lying in a dense grass, the blood under his body soaked a large piece of grass, his eyes were closed tightly, and he could already see the stiffness.

The dark guard who accompanied him with the mark was dead, and there was no clue about the way forward, and it was a blur.Who was Gongsun Lan kidnapped, what was the purpose, where she was now, and where she was going, all of which were unknown, and Gongsun Ling felt as if a needle had been pricked in his heart.

He turned the horse's head, looked at the road ahead shrouded in night, "drive—" and charged forward.

King Qi also turned his horse's head and followed Gongsun Ling.

"My lord?" the guards of the palace hurriedly called out.

King Qi ordered: "Leave two or three people to deal with the funeral."

The guards of the palace automatically left two or three people behind, and the rest quickly got on their horses and followed Prince Qi, chasing in the direction where Gongsun Ling left in the vast night.
