“…”

In the Northern Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace Courtyard, all the palace servants were gathered here.

When Youyang came back, he saw several people kneeling in the yard. Cui'er and others in the leader were crying and explaining: "I have been guarding the door and I really didn't hear any abnormal sounds in the bedroom. It was because I heard two cats scratching the door and calling the queen to check it out..."

"The Empress has given a command before that the servants are not allowed to approach and serve. After you leave, the Empress has never come out of the bedroom, nor has she called her servants."

A few steps away, Qin Rong was sitting on the chair with his forehead on his back. His face was slightly pale, and his eyes were drooping. There were two cats curled up on his knees. Seeing Ah Bei, it seemed as if Yingying was holding the cat and talking to herself.

It was obvious that half a day ago, she still swears that he couldn't lock her up for a few days, but as soon as he left, something happened to her.

Thinking of the unununted chain on Yingying's ankle, Qin Rong closed her eyes. He knew her enough, and believed that she would not run around with handcuffs, nor would she have the ability to open the chain. Unless...

"Your Highness."

Youyang's voice interrupted Qin Rong's contemplation. He raised his eyes slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Have you found someone?"

"The subordinates are incompetent." You Yang knelt down and apologized: "Mr. Gu found the Empress at the North City Gate, but the Empress was kidnapped by a group of men in black and headed south. Mr. Gu had already taken the people to chase him."

...It was indeed hijacked.

It was almost the same as Qin Rong's speculation, which was also the result he was most worried about. Instead of doing so, Qin Rong hoped that Yingying would let her run away by herself.

Standing up from the chair, Qin Rong walked straight out: "Prepare the horse, I want to go find it myself."

“…”

It can be said that Yingying's disappearance this time is very strange.

Since Qin Rong left, Cui'er was guarding the bedroom with several palace maids, listening to the movements in the house. It was strange that Cui'er, who was separated by a wall, did not hear the movements in the house, and even the guards nearby did not notice any abnormalities.

In order to prevent Yingying from taking advantage of the loopholes and sneaking out of the bedroom again, Qin Rong also sent secret guards to surround the bedroom. As a result, more than a dozen secret guards had not seen Yingying run out of the bedroom, nor did they see suspicious people approaching the bedroom.

There is no secret thought in this bedroom, and Yingying's disappearance is like evaporating from the world, making people dare not think about it carefully.

Even Yingying was wondering how Chen Xue avoided the layers of secret guards and imperial guards and carried her out of coma. Even if someone was secretly helping him, it would not be possible that he would be so quick and without leaving any trace.

After coming out of the south of the city, Chen Xue led Yingying into the woods and threw away Gu Lingxiao and the others' tracking from afar.

Yingying was unconscious throughout the whole process and had no ability to move. Although she was knocked out by Chen Xue, she had not lost all her consciousness. In the coma, she only felt that she was sore and her back was sore when she woke up, and her arms and waist were several purple.

Yingying was seriously suspicious, and Chen Xue secretly beat her while she was in a coma and vented her anger.

As he opened his eyes, Yingying found that she was lying against the tree. The back of her head, which was close to the tree, swelling and painful, and was obviously thrown directly to the ground.

It has already entered the forest, and the trees around it are almost the same, so Yingying has completely lost her direction.

It was about the hour of You, and the sun set in the west and the forest was a little dim. Yingying only saw the empty forest at first sight, but she did not find Chen Xue and others. She also thought Chen Xue was dragging her down and left her to run away. Yingying excitedly sat up on the ground, but turned her head and saw a person squatting not far away, washing her face by the stream.

Between not far or near, Yingying could not see Chen Xue's face clearly. Perhaps he had disguised himself as he had disguised himself as his skin was sallow. With this comparison, when Yingying saw him washing his face with stream water, she felt that his skin was white after being shined by the sun.

The complexion of her skin seemed to be even whiter than what she had seen in the stone prison before, and even her side look was different.

Yingying stretched her neck to see clearly, but Chen Xue squatted by the stream for some reason and was thinking about something. She looked at the water in a daze, as if she had forgotten Yingying's existence.

In short, he couldn't escape, so Yingying simply carried the hem of her skirt and walked quietly beside him, wanting to see his appearance clearly.

The woods are quiet, and birds will soar in the sky from time to time. Yingying walked lightly and was finally dragged down by the chains on her ankles. With a few sounds of chains, Chen Xue retracted her thoughts and warned: "If you dare to take a step forward, I will bury you in this stream."

Yingying stopped quickly, but the distance between the two had been closer, and Yingying could already see Chen Xue's side face clearly.

Before he could take a closer look, Chen Xue grabbed the mask on the ground and put it on, regardless of her wet cheeks.

Yingying remembers that when the two met in Lanfang Pavilion for the first time, Chen Xue was covered in black all over her face. Later, she saw Chen Xue's real face in the stone prison. Since then, this person has been wearing a half-faced mask. Now Yingying looks at the half-faced mask on Chen Xue's face, but suddenly she feels that this person is better than before.

Water droplets dripped from Chen Xueruyu's chin. After washing her face, her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her eyes exposed under the mask were dark. As her black hair fell, even her temperament became cold and Yingying became familiar for no reason.

"Are you also disguised when I saw you in the stone prison?" Yingying's throat stopped hurting, and she opened her mouth and made a sound. She had seen many beautiful beauties, and her sharp eyes found that Chen Xue was slightly different from her face in the stone prison.

Chen Xue slowly wiped the water droplets from her chin with her sleeves. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Yingying, and walked towards her step by step and asked, "What did you see just now?"

"I, I didn't see anything clearly..." Yingying noticed the danger and quickly took two steps back.

She had not adapted to the chains on her feet, and it was extremely inconvenient to move. She stumbled and sat on the ground.

Seeing Chen Xue walk to her, Yingying grabbed the fallen leaves on the ground and explained in panic: "I haven't even gotten close to you, I really haven't seen your appearance clearly. I just think you're much whiter than before, and the outline of your face seems to be different..."

Yingying was telling the truth. Chen Xue stared at Yingying with a high apex for a moment, and reluctantly believed her words.

"Why don't you run?" Chen Xue changed her question.

Yingying didn't follow his thoughts, blinked blankly and looked at him innocently, "Run, why run?"

"I am asking you..." Chen Xue dragged her voice long and bent down to look at Yingying's eyes. He said word by word: "Just you knew I was in a daze just now, why didn't you take this opportunity to escape?"

With a normal person's thinking, the first reaction is to travel as far as possible, and where can I still have the intention to see what the hijacker looks like.

Yingying told the truth: "I thought about it, but it's going to be dark."

Although Yingying has recovered her ability to speak, her strength has not recovered much, and she can't run far away with handcuffs on her feet. As the sky is getting late, what Yingying has to do now is not to escape, but how to save her life in this strange forest.

She was not familiar with this forest, and now she had no strength and no power to tie a chicken. What she could be sure of was that Chen Xue would not kill her in a short time, so why didn't she use him to get out of the woods first and then find a way to escape?

"You know what you know." Although Yingying only explained half of the reason to Chen Xue, Chen Xue was already satisfied.

With a restrained murderous aura, he picked Yingying up from the ground. He almost didn't think about it. He pulled Yingying and walked to the right. Yingying staggered and walked with him two steps, asking vigilantly: "It's going to be dark soon. Are you sure you know how to get out?"

Chen Xue raised a contemptuous smile, "Of course."

He will never forget this path again after walking it once.

Yingying looked around and she didn't choose to escape. Another reason was that Chen Xue didn't escape alone. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find the coachman who had been with them before. She couldn't help but ask: "Where is the elder brother who drove the carriage?"

Chen Xue was silent for a moment and replied: "Die."

It was not easy for them to escape. In order to lead Gu Lingxiao's tracking, the coachman put them in the forest and fled in the opposite direction. Now he thought he had committed suicide.

Yingying shut up, turned her head and looked at Chen Xue carefully, and found that the mask on his face perfectly covered his emotions, but the force that pulled her was obviously heavy.

“…”

On the third day of Yingying's disappearance, Qin Rong went to the south of the city in person, followed the path that Gu Lingxiao was following, and finally turned his attention to the woods where Yingying had stayed.

As Chen Xue expected, the coachman committed suicide after being caught up by Gu Lingxiao without hesitation, and did not say a word before his death.

Gu Lingxiao searched the whole body of the coachman and finally found only one jade sign. When Qiu Yu saw it, he was sure to say "Chifeng Tower". Qin Rongzhi stepped on the coachman's body and gently pinched the jade sign and ordered: "The case of Jin Mantang that day was done by Chifeng Tower. Chifeng Tower assassinated the prince and colluded with the imperial court official, and now he kidnapped the prince's concubine."

"Slaughter."

Just one word, all you want is the life of everyone in Chifeng Tower.

Qiu Yu took the order to leave, while Gu Lingxiao looked at Qin Rong in surprise. In his impression, Qin Rong was not a cruel or abuser.

Qin Rong is indeed not a cruel person. He is the same as his kind of behavior, and he prefers to kill people without blood. His lack of blood does not mean that he does not like to kill. In addition to Yingying, he has always been cruel and poisonous to those who touch his bottom line.

Since Chifenglou took away his Yingying, he didn't mind the bloody sweeping Chifenglou made everyone die for his unhappiness.

Yingying seemed to be well-behaved with Chen Xue, but in fact she kept leaving marks for Qin Rong and the others along the way. After Qin Rong and the others entered the forest, they soon saw the deep marks carved along the road, but half of the trace was left and disappeared. Someone whispered: "Grandmaid..."

Could it be that it was an accident?

Qin Rong naturally heard this. He lowered his eyes and gently rubbed the scratches on the tree with his fingertips. The eyes were clear and unrecognizable. The wind passed by, and the leaves on the ground rustled up, and everyone shivered inexplicably in this bleakness.

Gu Lingxiao, who took the lead, hurried back. He held a letter in his hand and handed it to Qin Rong and said, "This is what I found at the exit. The letter said that you want your prince, you personally."

Qin Rong took the letter and unfolded it. After reading it, he slowly folded the thin piece of paper and stuffed it back into the envelope, and did not hand it to Gu Lingxiao and others for reading it.

"Your Highness?" Gu Lingxiao knew that this was written by the person who kidnapped his sister, and he was anxious to know about her sister's situation.

Qin Rong's face was slightly drooping and calm. If you look closely, you will find that his hand holding the letter was shaking slightly. He did not stop in the forest, nor did he continue to search forward. After reading the letter, Qin Rong turned around and walked towards the imperial city. When he left, he only said: "Retreat everyone."

The letter already stated where Yingying was located, and two drops of blood were attached to Yingying's blood.
