Chapter 248 Which mouse hole is hiding in?

Sure enough, the envoy from the State of Chu was secretly inquiring about Ma Xiaoxiao's news.

Ma Xiaoxiao hides restlessly in her own palace, living in panic.Now she is not even the lord of the first palace, there is only one sleeping palace, and she is told to hide herself in it.

When Chai Sujin heard this, she felt a little sorry for her.

"Will the princess feel sorry for her?" The maid who accompanied her into the palace that day asked in a low voice.

Chai Sujin looked at the fallen leaves fluttering outside the window, and shook her head, "I chose the road by myself, and her result today is also her own choice, so I don't need to pity you."

"The princess said this, but it made the servant girl think of another person." The servant girl said in a low voice.

Chai Sujin looked up at her, "Oh? Who do you think of?"

"Miss Chunlu." The servant girl looked at Chai Sujin's face and spoke cautiously.

Chai Sujin nodded, "Yes, if there were no previous incidents, maybe now that she is standing here, you would all call her sister. She is the one who accompanied me all the way from Fangcheng, so she must be the No. .1."

With a soft sigh, Chai Sujin shook her head slightly.

"Yeah, now they all envy the servant girl's status and face beside you, the princess. If there is sister Chunlu, how can it be the maidservant's turn? It's cheaper for the maidservant. But thinking of Miss Chunlu, the maidservant still bears it." I can't help but sigh for her, if I can repent as soon as possible, even if I can't return to the master's side to serve, it will be better than being missing now." The servant girl muttered.

Chai Sujin stopped what she was doing and looked at her sideways, "Chunlu's whereabouts are unknown? Didn't Brother Xuan order someone to send her and Nianen away from the capital together?"

"The princess doesn't know about this?" The servant girl raised her eyes to look at her, then quickly lowered her head, "The uncle will definitely blame the servant girl for talking too much!"

"What happened to Chunlu? If he doesn't come to tell me, why don't I ask?" Chai Sujin raised his chin to the maid, "Tell me, he can't blame you."

"The day Uncle ordered people to send them away from the capital coincided with the arrival of the envoys from the state of Chu, and all the gates of the capital were under martial law. So they stayed in an inn near the gate of the city, and originally planned to leave the city the next day. I never thought about it. After a meal, Chun Lu and Nian En left the inn and disappeared." said the servant girl.

Chai Sujin frowned slightly, "Leaving the inn? Did they leave by themselves, or..."

"Uncle didn't say anything, and the people around Uncle don't know. I just heard that the people in the inn didn't see them leave." The servant girl said.

Chai Sujin nodded slowly, "Uncle please come."

It was already evening when Brother Xuan was found at the Princess Mansion.

He seemed to be much darker in the past few days, and when he came to see Chai Sujin, there were still beads of sweat on his face.

Chai Sujin raised her hand with a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his face, "What are you busy with? It's already autumn, and you're still sweating so much? Autumn is the time to restrain yourself."

Brother Xuan grinned, "It's okay, let's go horse riding with them."

"Walking horses?" Chai Sujin sat down and looked at him, "I thought you brought someone to look for someone?"

Brother Xuan froze, "Sister, do you know everything?"

"What do I know?" Chai Sujin raised an eyebrow.

Brother Xuan opened his mouth, raised his hand and scratched his head, his expression was a bit annoyed, "Do you know, or don't you know?"

"What's the matter?" Chai Sujin remained calm.

Brother Xuan became more and more uncertain, he bit his lower lip, "I'm not worried about those two treacherous and unconscionable things, but I'm just afraid that they will be arrested by someone, which will be bad for you, sister! If not, I would Whether they live or die!"

Chai Sujin groaned and nodded, "They were captured?"

Brother Xuan pulled up the stool and sat down next to Chai Sujin, "Since my sister already knows, I won't hide it. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't intend to tell you. The people in the inn, I asked someone to ask about it. They said they didn’t see them leave. If they want to leave, there’s no need to hide from people, right? Through the back door? Or over the wall? Over the window? What are you doing at this risk? No one will let them go!”

Chai Sujin nodded, with Chunlu's thoughts on Brother Xuan, she was afraid that she would have to leave.

"Although there were no traces of fighting in the room, Xiao Er said that when the door was opened, there was a faint smell in the room. But with the windows open, the smell has almost dissipated. I guess they may have been stunned Yes, they took them away quietly." Brother Xuan frowned, "Then this shows even more that the person who took them away was well prepared and planned."

Chai Sujin lowered her eyes and thought.

Brother Xuan continued: "Besides, they have been taken away for a few days, but no one came to threaten or blackmail them. I'm afraid that they were taken away to inquire about you, my sister, or about the Ji family. They are not The Ji family's family has a son, but he has a close relationship with my sister. So it's mostly aimed at you, sister."

Chai Sujin smiled slightly, "You have repeatedly emphasized that you are looking for them for my safety, and you don't admit that you are also worried about them..."

"I wasn't worried about them! Who wants to worry about the safety of the two traitors?" Brother Xuan shouted immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with being soft-hearted and nostalgic for the past, and it's not a sign of weakness." Chai Sujin looked at Brother Xuan with a smile, "Why don't you want to admit it?"

Brother Xuan turned his face away, "If you say no, there will be no! I will not soften my heart to them!"

Chai Sujin shook her head, "According to the calculation, it has been several days since they disappeared. Have you made any progress in your search?"

Brother Xuan bit his lower lip, frowned and shook his head.

"Sister, tell me." He approached Chai Sujin and lowered his voice, "Who could have done it? Mixiang, who didn't know it, and who caught Chunlu Nianen... whoever did this, could it be?" Is it... Yu Zhende?"

Chai Sujin looked at Brother Xuan.

Brother Xuan sat up straight, "In my impression, he is a lingering, ruthless person. There is still a great enmity between us and him. After breaking through the capital, he disappeared and never showed up again. Come face to face. Do you think he will be willing to do so?"

"If it's him, that's fine. It's better to lure him out than to hide in the dark and plot." Chai Sujin squinted her eyes, and her voice was extraordinarily cold.

"Isn't he really a mouse? Where is the rat hole in the capital? Your Majesty, Cousin Ji, and the one named Zhao have been searched inside and outside the capital for several times, but they have not found any trace of him." Brother Xuan Hissed like a toothache, "There is no news about Chunlu Nianen now, where is he hiding?"

"Yes!" Chai Sujin looked up suddenly.

Brother Xuan immediately looked at her, "What do you think, sister?"

"Since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, the household registration has not yet been counted again. Now is the opportunity to say that the maid in the princess mansion stole the princess's treasures, and I don't know where to hide them. I will explain the household registration and the search for the princess' maid together." Chai Sujin He said slowly, "If he is really still in the capital, there is no way to hide."

Brother Xuan nodded quickly, "I'm going to find my cousin right away!"

Ji Bocai heard that this was Chai Sujin's suggestion, and when he knew that Chunlu Nian'en had disappeared, he reported the matter to the Holy Majesty without any hesitation, and arranged for people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Wucheng Bingma Division to carry it out together.

Statistical correction of household registration is the foundation of a country.Although time-consuming and labor-intensive, even if it is not to find Yu Zhende, it should be done sooner or later.

He has already put this matter on the agenda, but now it is much earlier.

With the help of Wucheng Bingmasi and Jingzhaofu, the Ministry of Household Statistics started from the capital city.

Liang Si, who was hiding in the capital, panicked at first.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have waited for them to leave the capital before taking action. It must be because the two of them disappeared, so the court re-stated the household registration!" Liang Sichao, who was dressed in women's clothing, complained.

Yu Zhende shook his head slightly, "Household registration statistics will be done sooner or later."

"What are you talking about, the princess' maid stole something and ran away privately, isn't she just looking for this girl? Didn't you say that their master and servant have already cut off their ties, and even if they die, no one will bother?" Liang Si frowned, " It's good now, but nothing useful has come out of their mouths, and it has put our situation in jeopardy."

Yu Zhende snorted softly, "What are you talking about now? The more chaos there is, the more likely it is to fight back. Are we going to hide here for the rest of our lives, and you are willing to go to the street every day to clean up? I think you have lost all your ambition. Have you cleaned it up?"

"Bah!" Liang Si stood up suddenly, and spat at Yu Zhende, "I can't take it anymore! If you didn't say to wait patiently, do you think I would spend so much time with you in the capital?"

Yu Zhende frowned, his voice was slightly cold, "Pay attention to your wording."

"What's wrong with my wording? I'm going to call myself Lao Tzu! If you don't accept it, are you hitting me?" Liang Si sneered, "It's been so long, you haven't woken up from your emperor's dream? Haven't you seen your current situation clearly? Do you think you are the nine-five-year-old Supreme? You are not! Let me tell you, you are now a lost dog. If I hadn’t pitied you and taken you in, you would have been captured by Chai Xian’s gang and tortured to death. !"

Yu Zhende didn't move his face, and suddenly turned his wrist.

With a whoosh, a slender arrow like a little finger shot out of his sleeve.
