Chu Huanyan followed Qin Li's gaze and turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi.

Before Chu Huanyan looked over, Xiao Jinzhi had quickly changed his expression, and said with gentle eyes: "Yanyan, since the person is missing, let's go and take a look."

Although she didn't see Xiao Jinzhi's expression, Chu Huanyan guessed it, but seeing that he had calmed down, she didn't say anything more and just nodded in response.

And the moment she looked away, Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Qin Li faintly again.

The latter suddenly understood the meaning of his emperor's eyes: Are you brave? Dare you complain to my family Yanyan!

Qin Li silently withdrew his gaze. He had a conscience in heaven and earth. If he didn't complain to the Queen, he would be stared at by the Emperor.

He still needs to save money to marry a wife. Well, luckily the Queen is still here!

On the other side, outside the room where Zhou Muting was imprisoned.

When Chu Huanyan and the others arrived, Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai had also received the news and rushed over.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, isn't Ting'er captured by Dan Yue's people?" Zhou Xuanqi frowned, his expression full of worry.

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet. Uncle, don't worry too much. Maybe he just found a chance to escape." Chu Huanyan said with relief.

But these words obviously did not make Zhou Xuanqi feel relieved. When he heard that Zhou Muting might have escaped on his own, his worry became more intense.

"After the previous news spread, I am afraid that many people now think that Ting'er is acting as a spy to go to Danyue to find out information. Moreover, for Huangfu Ling and the others, Ting'er has no use value. If he falls now In the hands of Danyue people..." Zhou Xuanqi was very anxious.

Seeing him like this, Chu Huanyan did not continue to comfort him, but looked at Shen Chi aside.

"Doctor Shen, what happened just now?"

Shen Chi leaned against the door and frowned slightly, "Zhou Muting has been taking medicine these days. Mr. Zhou is very worried and has come to me several times to confirm whether the medicine will really not cause harm to Mr. Zhou. Although I I have repeatedly promised him, but looking at Mr. Zhou’s appearance, I still can’t completely believe him, so just now I thought of taking Zhou Muting’s pulse and letting it speak.”

Shen Chi glanced at Zhou Xuanqi before continuing.

"It's just that when I arrived, I found that the window in the side corridor was open, and when I looked inside from the window, the person was gone."

"What about the guards at the door?" Xiao Jinzhi asked.

Shen Chi replied: "Still guarding outside. I also asked them, and they said they didn't hear any movement."

"Your Highness, Madam, since the guards at the door are still there, it would be difficult for the other party to get rid of the person in this situation." Qin Li frowned and analyzed, "If it is really a person from Danyue Kingdom, then What's the use of them spending so much effort to take Mr. Zhou away now?"

Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi did not speak immediately, but just stood there in silence.

But Zhou Xuanqi still had an impatient look on his face, and said to Chu Huanyan and the others: "Empress, Your Majesty, please hurry up and send someone to find Ting'er. You must rescue Ting'er no matter what."

"Xuanqi." Zhou Yubai frowned and said in a deep voice, "In the final analysis, this matter is caused by the trouble caused by our Zhou family. Danyue sent someone to deliver a letter. I think the emperor and the queen have big things to do next. We, the Zhou family, are responsible for finding people."

"Father, there are only a few of us in the Zhou family. If we want to find Ting'er, I don't know how much effort it will take. We should let Huanyan..."

"That's enough." Zhou Yubai interrupted Zhou Xuanqi and looked at him disappointedly, "How could I give birth to a son as confused as you? It's my fault that my lack of teaching to you in the past years has made you so ignorant of the overall situation!"

Looking at his father's disappointed look, Zhou Xuanqi felt as if he had a lump in his throat for a moment, but thinking of his son, he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Father, no matter whether you will be disappointed in your son or not, nothing can happen to Ting'er."

"If you don't want anything to happen to him, you can go find the servants in the mansion and let them be assigned to you, but other than that, there is absolutely no other possibility."

Zhou Yubai seemed to not want to say any more. After speaking in a cold voice, he took a deep breath, then turned to Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi and said with cupped hands.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the affairs of the Zhou family have caused you a lot of trouble. Please let us, the Zhou family, handle the next matters by ourselves. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please do not interfere or worry."

Chu Huanyan looked at Zhou Yubai and said, "Grandpa, actually you don't have to..."

"Queen, there is no need to say anything. Just treat me as your grandfather. Please."

"Grandpa, your words are serious." Chu Huanyan stepped forward to support Zhou Yubai who was about to salute again.

Zhou Xuanqi looked at this situation. Although he had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, he finally swallowed them all.

After everyone left and Zhou Mubai returned to his courtyard, Zhou Xuanqi arrived at Chu Huanyan's residence again and knelt down in front of Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi as soon as they met.

"Uncle, why are you doing this?" Looking at Zhou Xuanqi who was kneeling on the ground, Chu Huanyan sighed softly.

"Huanyan, uncle knows that what my father said is right, and that everything should be based on the overall situation, but..." Zhou Xuanqi gritted his teeth, "But I only have such a son, and the Zhou family only has this little blood. Even for the sake of For your mother’s sake, please save your cousin.”

He knew that his father had been disappointed in him, felt that he did not know the general situation, and felt that he was blindly protecting Ting'er, but after all, he was his biological son, the one he watched grow up day by day, so how could he be so cruel? Come!

"Uncle, have you ever thought about it, maybe my cousin doesn't want to stay in the Zhou family at all. Although the news we spread this time has cut off his escape route, he may not be willing to accept it. Maybe..."

"Understood, I understand!" Zhou Xuanqi nodded vigorously, "I don't ask for anything now, I just want him to live. Even if he is locked up in the Zhou family for the rest of his life, I just want him to live."

He admitted that he had become soft-hearted these days. He felt that Ting'er was confused for a moment and chose the wrong path. It was really unfair to Ting'er to keep him locked up like this.

Even privately, he was thinking about whether to quietly release Ting'er, but now he just wanted Ting'er to live in peace, and couldn't care about anything else.

Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi looked at each other. The next moment, she looked at Zhou Xuanqi again and said: "I know, uncle, I will let someone get my cousin back, but I also hope that uncle can remember it." What you are saying now. When people come back, put the overall situation first and never be soft-hearted again."

"Okay, I promise, I will definitely promise."

Zhou Xuanqi spoke repeatedly and thanked him again and again before finally exiting the room.

When Zhou Xuanqi left, Chu Huanyan sighed and turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi, "Do you think I went too far by doing this?"
