Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

"Not finding His Majesty is the best news. I believe that he is blessed with good fortune and nothing will happen to him."

Murong Jiu said in a deep voice: "I am now sending an order from this palace to secretly dispatch all the royal guards to find His Majesty's whereabouts. You and Yang Shan and the others should go back to recover from your injuries. Remember not to expose this matter!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Li agreed, but he had no intention of recuperating. If he could not find His Majesty, he would definitely die to apologize.

As soon as Zhou Li left, Murong Jiu immediately asked Chang Chonghai to announce that her father and brother had entered the palace, and then Su Kai and Lou Zixi came.

As soon as she told the story, everyone's expressions became solemn.

"I hope you can secretly send someone to find His Majesty's whereabouts. This matter cannot be made public as it will cause turmoil in the court. You can use it as an excuse to search for fugitives. Lou Zixi will stabilize the court for me to avoid chaos."

"Empress, do you want to go find His Majesty yourself?"

Lou Zixi asked, he heard the implication of Murong Jiu's words.

Murong Jiu nodded and said, "That's right."

"But no one in the court is in charge..."

"I have made up my mind, Lou Zixi. I have entrusted you with a great responsibility. With your ability, you will definitely be able to help me stabilize the court. I will not leave for too long."

When Murong Jiu was talking, he had to hold the Buddhist beads bracelet tightly in his hand to force himself to calm down.

She had never been so flustered before, as if she had lost her backbone.

She didn't even dare to think in any bad direction, forcing herself to only think about the best.

Zhou Li sent people to search for two whole days, but no one was found, which meant that Jun Yuyan was definitely still alive.

There was no current at the bottom of the cliff, so it was impossible for him to be washed away by the water. He must have escaped from the fall and climbed up again. He is currently recovering from his injuries somewhere.

Yes, that's right, that must be it.

Murong Jiu affirmed himself in his heart.

General Fu and others also comforted her.

Without wasting any extra time, Murong Jiu left the palace as soon as she left the palace. It was just that she left the palace secretly. Only her confidants knew about it. Even Hongyi was called into the palace by her to protect Zhijin Zhiyu personally.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the palace now, and everything is under control.

But even if she was absent from the morning court, she couldn't be absent for too long. Three days would cause people to feel uneasy.

Quickly, Murong Jiu arrived at Hongya Mountain.

The most tragic and terrifying place in her dream.

She thought she would never get close to this place in her life, but she didn't expect that one day she would come here.

"My lady..."

The eldest brother Fu Heng looked worried.

"Brother, I'm fine. You can ask your men who are good at Qinggong to tie the rope and go down the cliff."

Murong Jiu was worried that Jun Yuyan was seriously injured and trapped in the middle of the cliff.

Although Zhou Li and others have searched several times, it is inevitable that people will make mistakes. Maybe they just didn't find Jun Yuyan.

Thinking of this, she wished she could tie a rope and go down the cliff.

When she arrived at Hongya Mountain, a string in her mind tightened. The image of Jun Yuyan lying silently at the bottom of the cliff covered in blood flashed through her mind over and over again.

She didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't control her head.

Time seemed to pass quickly. She was anxiously guarding the top of the cliff. Unexpectedly, it would be dark in the blink of an eye, and there was no news from below.

Su Kai brought a hundred guards, and the Fu family also brought over a hundred people, not to mention the subordinates Jun Yuyan himself had trained over the years.

So many people have actually turned Hongya Mountain upside down, but they can't find anyone. They can only look for it over and over again.

"I'm going to have a look at the bottom of the cliff."

Murong Jiu said.

It was dark and the road was difficult to walk, and carriages and sedans could not come up. She had climbed up the mountain herself, and now she was holding a torch and descending the mountain with her father, brother and others.

Since it cannot be found on the cliff, then the person has fallen to the bottom of the cliff.

Even if it is taken away by the enemy, it will leave traces.

I finally got off the cliff, but I didn't find any traces, only a lot of messy footprints left by Zhou Li and others in the past two days.

Strangely enough, there wasn't even a drop of blood.

"Kaixuan, go find it."

Murong Jiu patted the big wolf's head, gave it a smell of clothes that smelled of Jun Yuyan, and then let it find it.

Triumph's nose is very sensitive, even more sensitive than a dog's nose.

Kaixuan lowered his head and sniffed at the bottom of the cliff, but unfortunately, it rained last night. Although the rain was not strong, it could wash away a lot of the smell.

Murong Jiu's heart clenched.

She was worried that Kaixuan would find Jun Yuyan, she was afraid that she would see a broken body, and she was also worried that Kaixuan would not be able to find Jun Yuyan's whereabouts.

General Fu patted her on the shoulder.

"Ajiu, dad doesn't know how to comfort you. No news at the moment is good news, just like when your eldest brother Fu Heng disappeared. Maybe there was someone at the bottom of the cliff who rescued His Majesty. Don't be too nervous or sad. Your Majesty is blessed with good fortune and will be fine."

Murong Jiu smiled happily: "Dad, I'm fine. It's true. Kaixuan's nose is very sensitive. It will definitely help us find His Majesty."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kaixuan suddenly lowered his head and screamed.

Murong Jiu quickly ran towards Kaixuan and saw a few drops of blood in the cracks of the stone where Kaixuan was!

"It's His Majesty's blood!"

Otherwise, Triumph would not have such a big reaction!

So, it shows that Jun Yuyan did fall to the bottom of the cliff.

So where did he go?

Why are there no traces left elsewhere?

It took Kaixuan a long time to find the blood stains in the cracks of the stone. Could it be that someone deliberately erased the traces?

Thinking of this, Murong Jiu's heart became cold again.

It is not yet known whether Jun Yuyan is alive or dead. If someone takes him away, what is the purpose?

Let the court be in chaos? Let Dayan subvert?

Or threaten her to hand over power?

Murong Jiu took a deep breath, rubbed Kaixuan's head, and asked him to continue searching to see if he could find the direction from which Jun Yuyan disappeared. This way, everyone would have a direction to search for.

I knew there was no residual smell in the air, but shortly after Triumph, I found blood stains in three stone cracks.

It can be inferred from this that the direction Jun Yuyan left was towards the south.

Without Murong Jiu opening his mouth, General Fu and the others ordered people to conduct a detailed search along a radius of dozens of miles to the south, not to miss any traces.

Murong Jiu also took Kaixuan with him to search the mountain.

In the afternoon of the second day, Kaixuan finally made a few more arrogant sounds.

Murong Jiu quickly stepped forward and found a piece of cloth on a thorn.

These are Jun Yuyan’s clothes!

When Jun Yuyan left the palace, she packed all the clothes. She knew what clothes Jun Yuyan would wear.

And this piece of clothing material, she was sure to be left by Jun Yuyan!

It must have been scraped off by thorns.

This place is quite far away from the cliff of Hongya Mountain. It would take half a day to walk all the way there, let alone with a seriously injured patient.

She believed that even if he was just injured, he must still be alive, but he was in a coma at the time, otherwise his wisdom would not leave a mark.

Jun Yuyan was tall and strong, and one or two people would never be able to take him away. So there should have been at least four people at the bottom of the cliff at that time, one of whom was responsible for mopping up, so there were no footprints left on the ground!
