n glanced at her, “You think I didn’t investigate After you were arrested, I sent people to check the Imperial Medical Bureau. There are no records of dispensing medicine, none of the imperial physici...Yingba rushed to Chen Wangfu, but Dugu Cheng hadn't returned yet. Upon inquiry, he learned that Dugu Cheng was still in the palace and had not come back. Yingba hurried to the palace gate to wait, but after half an hour, he still saw no sign of him. He then went to Yipinxiang, but Lu Nian wasn't there either.

Yingba had searched everywhere she could think of, but today, no matter how hard she looked, they were nowhere to be found. Just as she was about to give up hope and cry, Yingba bumped into Li Wuyan, who had just come out of the palace. Seeing Yingba running around in a panic, he stopped her.

"Doctor Li, my wife is missing."

Li Wuyan looked at Yingba's anxious appearance and hurriedly asked, "When did this happen Did it say whether it would come out"

"I've looked everywhere, the princess couldn't have left the palace. Neither the steward nor anyone else in the household has seen her leave, and there's no sign of her at the Chen Wangfu or the First Fragrance Pavilion either."

Li Wuyan's face changed slightly, "Is there any news about Luoli from that direction"

"Yingba shook his head, 'I'm not allowed to see the chieftain.'"

"Alright, go to the palace gate and find the Regent King first. He should be coming out soon. I'll go find Luoli and ask her some questions. Later, I'll go directly to Lu Mansion, we'll meet at our place."

Yingba responded and hurriedly rode his horse to the palace gate to wait for Dugu City.

Li Wuyan returned home, but Luo Li was not there. Li Wuyan went to the tavern they frequented and happened to meet Luo Li chatting with someone else. He hurried forward, "Luo Li, I have something to talk to you about."

Luo Li glanced at the person, "That's all for today. I have something to do, let's talk another day."

Li Wuyan hurriedly pulled Luo Li out, his voice serious. "Luo Li, Feng Lingxi is gone."

"Gone"

Luo Li frowned, "What do you mean Where could she go"

Li Wuyan shook his head, "Just now I ran into her maidservant Xiaoba as I came out of the palace. She said Feng Lingxi had disappeared, no one at Lu Mansion saw her go out, and neither Chen Wangfu nor Zhen Guogong's Mansion had seen her. Could something have happened"

Luo Li frowned, "Could it be that the Great Elder made a move"

"Why didn't Feng Lingxi wait to talk to Xiao Li before going to the Yao Clan so quickly"

Last night, there was a violent storm with strong winds and heavy rain, accompanied by lightning and thunder. If they really did make a move during this chaos to take Feng Lingxi away, it wouldn't be impossible.

Luo Li walked out, saying, "Let's go to Lu Mansion."

By the time Luoli and Li Wuyan arrived at Lu Fu, they checked around Feng Lingxi's room. The heavy rain from last night had washed everything clean, and the servants had cleaned up earlier, leaving no trace of anything unusual in the room.

The two inspected the room. The bed was neatly made, and the house was spotless. Upon inquiry, they learned that it had been cleaned by the servants. However, when they asked further, they found that Feng Lingxi's room was no different from usual, and Yingba had also entered.

When Dugu City left the palace, Yingba stopped him, "Your Highness, the princess is gone."

Yingba's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Dugu City stunned. He quickly regained his composure and hurriedly asked, "What happened Why has Xi'er disappeared"

Last night, the Queen slept poorly and pieced together fragments of a scroll in her room. She tried every way possible to destroy it but failed. I accompanied her until late, and although she fell asleep initially, she was awakened by thunder. I closed the windows at her request, and she urged me to go to sleep. I couldn't disobey her, so I went to rest. This morning, I woke up to find the Queen hadn't gotten out of bed yet. Thinking that she had slept late last night, I didn't want to disturb her and let her sleep in. It wasn't until someone from the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion came looking for her in the afternoon that I realized she was missing.

Dugu City flipped onto his horse and rode away.

Ye Xi glanced at him and hurriedly said to Ying Ba, "How could you only discover this now You're still a Shadow Guard."

"I have learned my lesson."

Last night's storm was so loud that no one could hear anything, let alone the fact that she and the Princess didn't go to sleep until so late last night. Even more surprising, the Princess is nowhere to be found.

Ye Xi had already mounted her horse and chased after him, Yingba following closely behind, racing straight to the Lu residence.

Du Gucheng arrived at Lu Mansion. Lu Nian had already returned and, upon hearing the news of Feng Lingxi's disappearance, searched the entire mansion but found no trace of her. No one in the mansion had seen Feng Lingxi that day.

"Little Eight, what time did the Princess go to sleep last night"

Du Gucheng's face was ashen. The room, which they had already thoroughly inspected, showed no suspicious traces whatsoever. Feng Lingxi had vanished as if she had evaporated from this world.

Dugu City was afraid, he knew Xi'er wasn't from this time. He feared Xi'er would return to her own era.

"At three in the morning, the princess still refused to sleep."

Shadow Eight was filled with self-reproach. She should have stayed by the door last night.

What wasn't visible at three in the morning, last night was a storm with heavy winds and rain, accompanied by lightning and thunder

Dugu Cheng murmured to himself, becoming increasingly worried that Xi'er had returned to her own time. He sank into his chair, his heart pounding with anxiety.

"Chief."

The person who left lowered his head and whispered a few words in Luoli's ear. Luoli's face changed instantly, she walked to Dugucheng and said, "They were taken by the Yao Clan."

獨孤城 raised his head, as if he saw the dawn of hope, and asked again, "Are you sure"

After Yingba found me, I sent people to investigate. Just now, someone reported that they saw members of the Yao clan escorting Feng Lingxi out of the city.

"Out of the city already So soon"

Dugu Cheng's face changed drastically, "When did you leave the city"

He had already left the city at dawn, and it was too late to chase him now. It was Xiaoli's person.

Dugu Cheng was stunned, Xiaoli's person

"Could it be that Xiaoli came to find Xier last night"

"Impossible, my subordinates didn't return until three in the morning last night. After that, there was a terrible storm with heavy rain. How could anyone have possibly come"

Shadow Eight refused to believe it. She was right next door; if anyone appeared, she wouldn't be unaware.

"Last night's rain was so heavy that even the guards in the mansion couldn't spot anyone coming in. If someone did get in, it means they snuck in, and they took Xi'er away during the middle of the storm."

Lu Nian analyzed, “The gale and heavy rain concealed the sound of the action, plus everyone slept quite deeply in the latter half of the night. No one would have thought someone would take Xi'er away during this time.” To abduct someone under such a downpour, this Yao Clan truly was pervasive, ruthless enough.

"Only Xiao Li could explain this, Xi'er has no defense against Xiao Li." Dugu Cheng's eyes gradually turned cold, his mind filled with the words Xi'er had said to him. If she was taken away, she told him not to be impulsive, but how could he possibly remain calm now

This Xiao Li, Xi'er treats her like a close sister, but she took advantage of the rainy night to kidnap Xi'er. When they were completely unprepared, she kidnapped Xi'er and even left the city. This clearly shows that she is rushing to take Xi'er to the Yao tribe.

"Although Xiao Li is a high elder, she hasn't lost her memory and won't harm Xi'er. We need to stay calm and not act rashly." Luo Li comforted the crowd, "That said, I will return to Yaozu to investigate the situation. I will notify you immediately if I have any news.""Xiao Li gave him a withering look. "You just gave me a chance to stop you"The two people in the carriage were undisturbed by Ye Xi, lost in a passionate kiss that lasted until both of them were breat...
