Although they didn't sleep all night, everyone didn't feel sleepy. Apart from officials, there were ordinary people on the streets of the capital. These people all had one purpose, which was to find the two lost children of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Standing on the crowded street, Luo Lan felt that her heart was empty. When did such aimless searching end?

Passers-by all looked at her with sad eyes, but no one came forward to disturb her. Everyone knew that she must be in a bad mood at this time.

Liu Dechang stood beside her silently, not daring to stay away from her for a moment.

"Huaiyu, An'an, where are you? Do you know how anxious your mother is?"

Luo Lan muttered to herself, her voice might only be heard by herself, but everyone in the capital could feel it.

Another day is almost over. Did those two children really just disappear without a trace?

……

Xiwang Mansion.

Ever since Lengxi knew about Concubine Li's background and clearly knew that she had no choice but to be in a position, she acquiesced to the cooperation with the Chu people. Therefore, a large number of Chu people lurking in the capital, Yixi Prince's Mansion As a servant, he lived in Prince Xi's Mansion.

At this time, Lengxi was sitting in the yard, watching his son playing with a small goldfish in the basin. This was the time when he felt most content.

Although the relationship between him and Yu Qiaoqiao has eased up a bit in the past few years, he still can't let go of Long Xiaomin who died in front of him, which also made him unable to get closer to Yu Qiaoqiao.

Yu Qiaoqiao is also very sensible and will not go to him. Except for occasionally accompanying the children together, what the two of them really live is a life of non-interference and respect for each other.

The influx of strangers into Prince Xi's mansion in recent days made Yu Qiaoqiao a little uneasy. She wanted to ask Lengxi many times to ask what was going on, but Lengxi avoided talking about it, and told her not to mention it to Yu Shiming. and this matter.

Today, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't help coming to Lengxi again. She sat down on the stone bench next to him, looked at the child who was playing with small fish, and said softly:

"My lord, there are newcomers in the mansion today, why didn't they come to greet you? The housekeeper doesn't seem to recognize them either?"

When hearing this question, Leng Xi's face suddenly darkened, he looked sideways at Yu Qiaoqiao, and warned harshly:

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, and don't worry about things you shouldn't. Just be your Princess Xi and spend more time with your children when you have time. Don't worry about the rest."

What he said was really cold, so cold that Yu Qiaoqiao choked back the words she was about to say.

At this moment, there was a shout from the door, and Leng Xi's brows were suddenly tightened.

The housekeeper hurriedly ran back and forth, "My lord, a woman came outside, claiming that she is the future queen, and she insisted on seeing you."

Water spring flower?

The person who can be so reckless and speak so inappropriately is none other than that Shui Chunhua.

He clenched his fists, his teeth itching with hatred.

He really hated himself for making such an impossible promise to that dull woman.

But he couldn't let her talk nonsense at the gate of King Xi's Mansion, otherwise it would not be a good thing to be overheard.

So, he waved to the butler and said:

"Let her in."

After the butler left, he said to Qiaoqiao again:

"Take Xiaobao back to the room, I want to see a guest."

Although Yu Qiaoqiao knew that this guest must be a woman, and also had some ulterior relationship with Lengxi, she nodded, stepped forward to pick up Xiaobao, and went straight to the backyard.

For Yu Qiaoqiao, whether she doesn't ask, Lengxi is more useful, as long as she doesn't meddle in other people's business, he is also happy to let her keep the title of Princess Xi.

After a while, Shui Chunhua rushed in aggressively. She stood in front of Lengxi, with a look of bitterness and hatred, pointing at him and questioning:

"Lord Xi, you promised me that I would wait for you for five years. I have waited, and now I am about to turn into a yellow-faced woman. Why haven't you married me yet?"

Looking at the woman's almost distorted face, Leng Xi sneered and replied directly:

"If you're really in a hurry, find someone to marry first."

"Who am I going to marry? Who will marry me because of the Li family village?"

"So, it has nothing to do with me if you wait 50 years. In the past five years, I have paid enough for your whole family. How dare you come here to question me?"

Hearing this, Shui Chunhua suddenly squatted in front of Lengxi, hugged his thighs with both hands, and changed her tone to discuss:

"My lord, I dare not question you. I am in a hurry. You gave me an order not to step into Prince Xi's mansion for five years. I did it, but I can't wait. For the past five years, I have been dreaming It’s all about you coming to marry me, otherwise, you welcome me into your Prince Xi’s mansion first, and you can be a side concubine, and when you become emperor in the future, you can just make me a noble concubine.”

"Snapped!"

As soon as her words fell, Lengxi suddenly lifted her foot, pushed her away from her side, and angrily reprimanded:

"It's wishful thinking, Shui Chunhua, this king told you a long time ago, don't talk nonsense in front of outsiders, yet you still dare to speak wild words at the gate of King Xi's mansion, do you know how much trouble you will cause this king by talking like this? You I still expect this king to marry you, stop dreaming."

Although Lengxi's kick made Shui Chunhua's chest ache, but she still endured the pain and got up from the ground, crying loudly:

"You don't count your words. Since that's the case, I'm not afraid of shame. I'll go out now and tell everyone what you promised me five years ago. I'll see if you're afraid."

As soon as she said this, Lengxi suddenly stood up from the stone bench, took a step, came to squat down in front of her, pinched her chin directly, stared at her with red eyes, and paused every word admonishes:

"Shui Chunhua, I will give you two ways now. The first way is that I will give you 1000 taels of silver. Get out of the capital, get out of Changliu Village, and never let me see you again. The second way is that I will give you [-] taels of silver. Kill you so that you cannot see the sun of tomorrow."

His words, like a bomb, made Shui Chunhua's body tremble violently.

Her pupils converged suddenly, she nodded vigorously, and said a word out of her throat,

"I...I choose...the first one."

Hearing this, Lengxi loosened her jaw directly, looked at her with disgusted eyes again, and warned in a cold voice:

"I don't want to kill people, otherwise you wouldn't live today, but I don't know how to kill people, so you'd better remember what I said to you, get away and never come back, otherwise , you and your family, there is only one death."

After saying this, he waved to the housekeeper who was not far away, and the housekeeper trotted up to him.

He said indifferently:

"Give this woman 1000 taels, find two people to watch her family move away from Changliu Village, the farther the better, and tell her parents by the way, don't come back if you don't want to die."

After leaving these words, he took big steps and walked towards the backyard.
