As night fell, snowflakes started to fall in the sky. Luo Lan stood at the window and looked at the snowflakes all over the sky, feeling very uncomfortable.

Ah Hong hurriedly came to report,

"Princess, the prince and the others are back."

Luo Lan's heart was in her throat at this moment.

She carefully looked back at A Hong, and when she saw A Hong lowered her head, she knew that she had gained nothing again today.

"Where is the prince?"

"They are in the front hall. The Duke and several generals are there. They seem to be discussing something."

When Luo Lan heard this, she quickly stood up, and Ah Hong quickly pulled a cloak and put it on her.

Before tying up the straps of her cloak, she hurried out the door.

"Princess, be careful, it's snowing outside and the road is slippery."

She didn't care about this at all at this time. She just wanted to know if An An had any news today?What are Leng Yu and the others going to do tomorrow?How can we find An An?

At this time, Zhang Yuan, Xiao Tanzi, Xiao Ningzi, Ayu, Ahou, Leng Ming, and Liu Dechang all returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, sitting in the main hall, discussing the search plan for tomorrow.

When Luo Lan came in, Liu Dechang couldn't help but blame Ah Hong behind her:

"It's so cold, why did you let the princess come out?"

"Dad, I don't blame her. How are you today? Is there any news?"

Liu Dechang shook his head,

"No, but it is certain that they have not left the city. In the past few days, under Yu'er's order, the city gate was closed early. When they left, the city gate was already closed, so it is certain that they are still there. Within the city.”

In the city?

Luo Lan looked at Leng Yu angrily,

"Since we are in the city, why can't we find him? Didn't we use people from the military camp? We went from house to house to look for him."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something,

"Yes, Prince Xi's Mansion, we are also looking for Prince Xi's Mansion."

Leng Yu stood up from the chair, walked to her, pulled her to sit down, and then comforted her softly:

"We have just discussed that early tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to ask for an order and ask my father to issue an order to search the whole city and not miss every corner. Only in this way can we go into Prince Xi's Mansion and the homes of the ministers to search, otherwise , the name is not justified, Lengxi will not agree."

"The jade seal is in your hand. You can issue an order directly. Why do you have to wait until tomorrow? Why do you still need to go to the emperor to issue an order?"

"I haven't officially ascended the throne as emperor yet, so I can issue decrees now, but for the sake of our own family, it will make people think that we are using our power for personal gain."

Liu Dechang also nodded there, "Yu'er is right. No matter how urgent it is, we can spend the night. Besides, the visibility is not good at night. We will send more manpower during the day tomorrow to make it easier to find him."

Luo Lan had sadness on her face and worry in her heart.

Leng Yu frowned, glanced at everyone, and said:

"People will not disappear out of thin air. Now I am worried that there is a den of Beihai Kingdom in the capital. Remember tomorrow, when searching, focus on Prince Xi's Mansion and Zuiyue Tower. There is a girl named Xiaohui in Zuiyue Tower. She I met Huang Yun alone, I will go see her tomorrow to see what secrets she has."

"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will make arrangements right now."

Leng Yu waved his hand feebly again,

"Everyone, please leave! There are many important things to do tomorrow. Queen Ayu will send the Duke back."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone bowed and retreated, leaving only Luo Lan and Leng Yu.

Seeing that she was sitting there without moving, Leng Yu stepped forward and called her softly:

"It's cold at night, go back and rest."

Luo Lan's tears suddenly fell down unsatisfactorily.

"Lan'er, I know you feel sad. It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken over the throne, so many things wouldn't have happened. If you are angry, just vent it to me. Don't hold it in your heart."

At this moment, Luo Lan forgot that they were still in the cold war, stood up directly, threw himself into his arms, and murmured while shedding tears,

"It's such a cold day. I don't know if An An has a place to sleep or eat. I almost lost her last time when she was kidnapped. I'm really scared that I won't be able to find her this time..."

Leng Yu hurriedly patted her shoulder and comforted her softly,

"Don't worry, someone takes her away this time. They don't just want to harm her. They must have other motives. Let's think about the worst. Even if we can't find her these days, she will appear on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Yes, when the time comes, even if I am asked to give up this throne in exchange for An An’s peace, I will agree.”

His words stunned Luo Lan for a moment. She looked up at him with teary eyes, gritted her teeth and shook her head.

"On this throne, others don't want you to sit in peace, so you must sit in peace. Nothing will happen to An An. Let's look for it together tomorrow. I don't believe there are any clues."

"Then you go back to bed early today so that you have the energy to find An An tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he directly took her hand and walked towards the door. The two of them supported each other and walked in the snowflakes in the sky, leaving two indistinguishable sets of footprints on the ground...

……

The ninth day of the first lunar month

In the early morning, Prince Xi's Mansion was completely covered with snow. The servants in the mansion got up early in the morning to clear the snow.

In the past few days, Leng Xi had gotten up very early. To be more precise, he couldn't sleep well every day and was in a state of high mental stress.

When Yuan Gang came to the main hall, he didn't have time to flick the snowflakes off his body, so he directly cupped his fists and said:

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Yang Feng. He has obtained the jade seal, but asks you to use Xiaohui's deed of betrayal in exchange..."

"what?"

Leng Xi's face suddenly became colder than the winter outside.

He asked through gritted teeth,

"Is he threatening me?"

"The subordinate also asked the same question, but he said that Huang Yun has already exposed his identity, and Leng Yu may catch him one day. Then it will be difficult for him to escape. He wants to seek freedom for Xiaohui before that. , right now, there are not many things he can hold in his hands, so please give him Xiaohui’s deed of betrayal as soon as possible, and as long as you ensure that Xiaohui leaves the capital safely, he will hand over the jade seal to you.”

"It really makes no sense."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Xiao Hui is yours anyway, so what if you just sell your body to Yang Feng? You can still use him when the time comes. Right now, it's more important to get the jade seal first."

The corners of Leng Xi's mouth raised slightly, with a hint of pride,

"Yang Feng would never have thought that before he came to the capital, Xiaohui was already the number one in Zuiyue Tower. She was already a pawn used by me, Leng Xi. Over the years, she has done a lot of work to win over these officials. I How could he let go of this perfect chess piece of hers so easily? However, since he threatens her with the jade seal, then do as you say. Then go back to the madam and get Xiaohui's deed of betrayal to him. I believe that Xiaohui will not give up her good life and follow him to suffer..."

"Yes, by the way, Your Majesty, there is news from Beihai Kingdom. They say that Princess Yunmeng has disappeared. He asked you to help find her."
