Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

Su Min'er was beaten to death, and the old princess had the body sent to the second house, where they could do whatever they wanted with it.

After the matter was settled, the little princess got on the carriage and left. She lifted the curtain and watched Su Xuqing waving at the door, feeling extremely envious.

She also wanted to find a good husband and marry in the capital. In her spare time, she could get together with a few close friends, chat, eat and drink, which was better than anything else.

The moonlight was dim and the sky was overcast with dark clouds.

The little princess' carriage gradually disappeared into the night.

The eldest princess's mansion.

In the brightly lit mansion, the eldest princess sat on the couch drinking tea, her carefully manicured nails tapping lightly on the small low table on the couch.

"What time is it? Why hasn't the princess come back yet?"

The maid beside the princess quickly replied: "Princess, it is already midnight."

The princess frowned when she heard this, feeling a little uneasy. Although Tang Xue loved to play, she had never been away from home at midnight.

"Are you sure she went out with the Crown Prince's wife?"

"Yes... The Crown Prince's wife came to visit today and said that she wanted to take the little princess to the mountain to pray for blessings..."

On the mountain?

The eldest princess stood up and walked out hurriedly, fearing that Tang Xue would get lost in the mountain or encounter danger.

"Prepare the horses and go to the Zhennan Palace first."

Half an hour later, Shen Xuanheng's carriage and the eldest princess' carriage arrived at the Zhennan Palace at the same time.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Xuanheng saw the eldest princess and was surprised. "Your Highness, what brings you here so late at night?"

The princess smiled faintly and said, "Xue'er went out with your wife today and hasn't returned home yet. I came to see if she stayed overnight at your house."

"I see."

Shen Xuanheng extended his hand to invite her, and said in a gentle voice: "Then please come with me, Princess. I will take you to find her."

The eldest princess nodded slightly and walked up the stairs.

In the small courtyard of the second room, the lights were dim and the autumn leaves were rustling.

Su Xuqing was sitting in the yard waiting for Shen Xuanheng to come back. She vaguely heard footsteps coming from far away outside, so she hurriedly got up and opened the door.

"Husband..."

Just as she opened her mouth, Su Xuqing saw the eldest princess and quickly bowed, "Why is the eldest princess here..."

The eldest princess raised her hand, then asked with a suspicious look on her face: "Where is the princess? Is she in the house?"

Su Xuqing looked surprised and said quickly, "Didn't the princess go back an hour ago?"

"What did you say?"

The eldest princess' eyes darkened and she felt more and more uneasy.

Shen Xuanheng's eyes moved, and then he asked, "Princess, did you miss the little princess on the way here?"

"impossible."

The princess' expression gradually became serious, and she said in a deep voice, "I asked the servants to keep an eye out on the way here, but they didn't see Xue'er's carriage at all."

Su Xuqing suddenly thought of the assassin from the daytime, and asked anxiously, "Did he run into a bad guy?"

"This is even more impossible."

The princess shook her head firmly and said, "Under the emperor's feet, who would dare to lay hands on the young county lord? I guess... this child probably didn't want to marry a foreign country, so she ran away secretly."

"This……"

Su Xuqing was a little hesitant about the eldest princess's guess. Judging from Tang Xue's performance today, she showed no signs of wanting to escape the marriage, otherwise why would she cry like that in her boudoir?

Shen Xuanheng groaned for a moment, then slowly said, "It's getting late, and the city gates are closed. I guess the little princess is still in the capital. Why not use some manpower to look for her?"

"That's all it can do."

The eldest princess sighed softly, "This child...I can understand her."

Muttering something to herself, the princess turned and left.

When the princess walked away, Su Xuqing reached out and pulled Shen Xuanheng's sleeve, whispering, "Husband, I don't think this matter is that simple."

"Oh? Did you find any clues?"

Su Xuqing nodded slightly, pulled Shen Xuanheng to sit in the yard, and then slowly said: "Today, the little princess and I were on Xiliang Mountain and encountered two groups. The first one seemed to be coming for me, but it was a feint and it turned out to be the little princess. As for the second assassin, his target was not clear. He couldn't even tell who was the prince's consort between me and the little princess. He was not in the same group as the first assassin at all."

Shen Xuanheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "You mean, someone wants to assassinate the little princess under the guise of assassinating you?"

"It's possible."

Su Xuqing frowned slightly and said slowly: "But I can't understand who is so bold as to assassinate the princess, who is the emperor's niece."

Shen Xuanheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep.

"Ordinary people naturally wouldn't dare to assassinate the princess, but it's hard to say for people in the court. Could there be something about the little princess that concerns the interests of the court?"

Shen Xuanheng groaned and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Speaking of which, the young princess' marriage is imminent, which can ensure decades of peace at the border. Could it be that someone doesn't want to see this situation, so they are interfering?"

"If that's the case, isn't the little princess in danger?"

Su Xuqing suddenly became anxious, and she pulled Shen Xuanheng's hand and said, "Husband, please think of a solution quickly."

Shen Xuanheng rubbed his fingertips habitually, and then a plan brewed in his mind.

Imperial Palace, Jingyang Hall.

The eldest prince had turned off the lights and gone to bed. At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs were walking on tiptoe, so no one would disturb him normally. But at this moment, someone knocked on the door outside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

The eldest prince slowly opened his eyes and said in a lukewarm voice: "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, I just heard a rumor that the eldest princess's daughter is missing and is suspected of escaping her marriage..."

"what!"

The eldest prince stood up with a stern expression.

"Tell Father about this immediately and ask him to send out the patrol battalion and the imperial guards to look for her. The marriage of the little princess is related to the stability of the border for decades, and we must not let her escape."

"Yes!"

The person outside the door left in a hurry.

At the same time, in Jinghe Palace, the third prince was also awakened.

"Third Prince, the black fox seems to have succeeded. Now the eldest princess is leading people to look for the young princess everywhere."

In the bedroom, the third prince sat on the large carved bed with a smile on his face.

"Very good. Let Black Fox hide the person first. After a few days, kill her and throw her body into the Zhennan Palace. Then, accuse the Zhennan Palace of murdering the little princess and obstructing the marriage between the two countries. Even if the Zhennan Prince comes back in person, I'm afraid he will be severely punished by my father!"

As he spoke, the Third Prince raised his chin with pride and boasted, "This idea of ​​mine is truly a brilliant plan that kills two birds with one stone."

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Outside the bedroom, another person came in with a panicked look on his face.

"Your Highness, it's bad. The eldest prince just used the excuse that the young princess had run away from marriage and asked the emperor to send the imperial guards and patrol battalion to search the entire city. Now there is a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps in the entire capital. Our people can't move at all."
