After saying this, His Majesty stretched out his hand, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped his hands carefully.

"You and I don't need to pretend anymore." His Majesty sneered and said, "How did those princes die? Do you want me to investigate thoroughly?"

Your Majesty has favored countless concubines over the years, but none of them gave birth to a prince. It's not that there were none, but these children died shortly after they were born.

Your Majesty knows what happened, but he has never mentioned it.

He actually doesn't care about these children.

The throne already has an heir, so he doesn't care if there are a few more people or if Pei Yanli is in more danger.

But these people must not attack him.

This is why Your Majesty has turned a blind eye to this for so many years.

The Queen's eyes changed when she looked at His Majesty. She had always thought that she had concealed the truth from His Majesty. Even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. The Queen had never expected that His Majesty would actually watch her kill those people.

Not only did she kill His Majesty's children, but she also killed those concubines who were still affectionate with him, and he just watched helplessly.

At this moment, the queen didn't know what she was feeling in her heart. They had been married for so many years, but she seemed to have never seen the man beside her clearly.

She just felt that this man was extremely terrifying. The man she had always been thinking about turned out to be such a person.

Many people advised her not to marry His Majesty, but she was so immersed in love that it was too late when she wanted to extricate herself.

But she never imagined that this man could be so terrifying.

It was simply terrifying.

"I don't know where Miss Lin has gone."

After a pause, the queen lowered her head. She didn't want to tell His Majesty, but it would be bad not to say anything at this point.

So she slowly said, "Miss Lin ran away, and they don't know where she went."

His Majesty pointed at the Queen angrily and said, "What a bunch of rubbish you are looking for. They can make mistakes even in such a big matter!"

The queen didn't say anything. After all, it was indeed her fault.

His Majesty turned away without saying another word.

……

Lin Tingwan ran wildly in the forest.

The trees around seemed to have grown up from the ground overnight and stretched towards the sky.

She held on to the hem of her skirt with all her might, and the dead leaves rustled under her feet.

As night fell, the sight of falling leaves made her marvel at the wonders of nature.

But at this moment, she was filled with fear, and heard the footsteps of the pursuers getting closer and closer. She ran along the path, hiding behind big trees from time to time to avoid the pursuers.

Suddenly, the scenery changed before my eyes, and a bright open space appeared in front of me, surrounded by dense bushes at the edge.

The woman hurriedly quickened her pace and rushed to the center of the open space. Suddenly, several people in black clothes and covering their faces appeared around her. Their appearance made the woman shudder. In panic, she hid behind the bushes and observed quietly. As her heartbeat continued to accelerate, she felt so scared for the first time in many years.

The sound of rain seemed to be getting closer and closer, the stuffy air suffocated her, and the pursuers were getting closer and closer. In order to escape, the woman picked up a stone on the ground, aimed it at one of them and threw it, and she took the opportunity to escape.

The surroundings were already deserted wilderness. She looked around and slowly moved forward in the direction she saw. The wind in the forest blew the grass and the fallen leaves rustled. The woman's voice echoed in the night sky, as if it was in the loneliest corner of the world.

The traces of the woman's running were deeply imprinted in the soil. She continued to move forward. Suddenly, a strong smell of blood filled the air. Her heart couldn't help but tremble. Her knees softened slightly. She hurriedly found a bent tree root to sit down and curled up into a ball.

……

As the rain got heavier, Pei Jinan became more and more worried.

He turned to ask Qing Li behind him, "Is there any news from Qing Yu?"

Qing Li shook his head and said slowly, "No, there is nothing coming from the other side."

As he said this he lowered his head.

Pei Jinan was so worried about Lin Tingwan during the time she was missing that Qingli had been following her and watching her.

That is why he knew clearly in his heart the importance of Lin Tingwan. Now that the person has not been found, Pei Jinan would not dare to ignore him no matter what.

They were all worried about this.

Pei Jinan took a deep breath and pushed away the umbrella in Qingli's hand, not caring that the rain soaked his clothes.

"Looking for someone!"

Qing Li followed behind him with a worried look on his face, "Master, you haven't eaten all day, you should eat something. This is not good for your health."

"Go find it!"

Qingli opened his mouth, but had no choice but to turn around and look for Lin Tingwan.

What he was thinking in his heart was that he must find that person, otherwise Pei Jinan would not know what to do, and they would naturally be in trouble.

……

The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, illuminating the scenery in the woods clearly, but the route taken by the man in black was blurry.

Under the dark night, the layers of trees in the forest look like black monsters with long arms outstretched, as if waiting for something.

The tree trunks illuminated by the moonlight showed their thickness, and the long branches hung down like the arms of a devil, pointing towards the marching men in black.

On the side, rows of stones were placed, shining in the moonlight, as if mocking the marching men in black.

The men in black didn't care about all this. They stared straight ahead and moved lightly among the bushes, looking for any trace of Lin Tingwan.

Time passed slowly, and the humid air was filled with the ghostly aura of this group of men in black, making people feel uneasy.

Lin Tingwan was not far away, with his head lowered and his mouth covered, not daring to make a sound.

It was now the second night, and every time she thought she had left, those people would find her again.

This made her feel anxious and uneasy.

She didn't know when she would be able to escape. In the past two days, she had not drunk a drop of water or eaten a grain of rice except for some wild fruits to fill her stomach.

But Lin Tingwan never gave up because she knew she couldn't give up.

If she were caught by these men in black, she didn't know what would be waiting for her.

So she must not be caught by these people.

At the same time, these men in black received news from the queen and were extremely worried. The queen had already told them what the outcome would be if they didn't find the person.

They couldn't go on like this; they had already used all their strength to search.

But I don’t know when I can find it.

Everyone was extremely panicked.
