Although Pei Yanheng was very angry, he became even angrier when he saw Shen Zhaowan running away and still thinking about Fuling and the others. He thought about how much suffering Shen Zhaowan, who was so delicate and weak, would have to endure.

But still thinking about Shen Zhaowan's words, he couldn't bring himself to kill them. He could only order someone in a cold voice to take these people away and keep them under watch.

"Notify the Yulin Army to search the entire city and leave no household unpunished." Pei Yanheng gave the order immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Shadow Guard, Shadow One."

The strongest shadow guard appears.

"master."

"Take the top ten and investigate carefully. I want the fastest news."

"Yes, master."

After explaining everything, Pei Yanheng stood with his hands behind his back and closed his eyes, slowly suppressing the surging tears.

"Go and interrogate Fuling."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Shi bowed and walked away.

"Wait." Pei Yanheng opened his eyes and added, "Don't hurt anyone."

"This slave knows."

……

The eunuch threatened and frightened her: "Miss Fuling, you don't know that the city is not peaceful recently, and there are even more vicious people outside the city. Your Majesty is still worried about this. Concubine Zhao is so beautiful and delicate, and she has never suffered hardship. I don't know if she can buy her own food, or put on more clothes when she is cold. Without you watching over her, will she sleep well? I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just worried about her. What do you think we should do if something bad happens?"

Following Eunuch Shi's words, Fuling couldn't help but make the same association. She was already worried and nervous, and after hearing this, she became even more anxious. The Empress had never gone out alone before, so what should she do?

"Eunuch, you must find the queen, and I will go find her too. The queen yesterday..."

Then Fuling no longer concealed it and told everyone about the series of actions.

She only hoped that the queen would return safely.

"Your Majesty, Fuling said it. She said that Concubine Zhao was preparing to leave the palace along this line... Take a look."

Pei Yanheng took the thing that the eunuch handed over, and his heart trembled: "I didn't expect that he would be smart this time. Send someone to pass the message to them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With the news from the palace, it would be easier for the Yulin Army and Shadow Guards outside the palace to investigate.

The shadow guard discovered the clues earlier.

Pei Yanheng also changed his clothes and left the palace to personally capture Shen Zhaowan.

There was no way she could escape from him.

The clothing store that Shen Zhaowan visited yesterday has been surrounded.

When the shopkeeper saw the man suddenly appear, the oppressive feeling made her kneel down on the spot.

"Sir, everything I said is true. The girl came late yesterday and was so pretty. I remember her clearly. She...she had a unique hairstyle, bought clothes and a hat, and...she asked for directions."

The shopkeeper was a little scared. Although he didn't know the specific official position, he definitely couldn't afford to offend him.

He has a handsome face and a noble temperament, but now he has a cold face and exudes anger.

She had been asked these questions several times before, and she had already said them fluently, but when she looked at the man in front of her, she said them again in full, stammering out of fear.

After searching all the way, they finally arrived at the horse market, the place where Shen Zhaowan rented the carriage.

Pei Yanheng's men didn't waste any time and showed it directly. This was a government business.

Since it involved an official, ordinary businessmen naturally dared not be vague and explained the matter in detail.

"The lady was in a hurry last night, saying that something happened at home, and she left at night. Her husband works in the government office. Could it be that her husband has committed a crime and they want to arrest her?" After the proprietress said this, she was a little curious about the situation, but she lowered her head after being glared at by the team leader.

"Husband, Madam?" Pei Yanheng murmured this sentence, like the whisper of an evil demon. He is really good at making up stories.

Once he had found out the truth, Pei Yanheng took the lead and rode in pursuit.

The Yulin troops in the city also returned to their ranks.

Pei Yanheng only hurriedly brought a team of people and some shadow guards.

When Pei Yanheng left the palace, Shen Zhaowan also stopped the carriage.

"Just drop it off here. The road ahead is narrow and the carriage can't go in."

"Okay, ma'am."

"You still have things with you, don't you need me to take you home?"

"It's okay. I can carry this little bit."

Shen Zhaowan paid the silver and walked into the alley.

She saw the carriage turn around and drive away, then she revealed herself and took another path.

I heard that it was once used as a place for reciting poems and meeting friends in the previous dynasty, but was later abandoned. I don’t know if the house is still there, but the scenery is definitely not too desolate.

Shen Zhaowan was not in a hurry. She walked forward while looking at the scenery along the way. She even encountered frightened rabbits in the bushes on the way.

Halfway through the meal, Shen Zhaowan felt a little hungry, so she took out her snacks and started eating.

[Wanwan, I'm fine, the little one is safe. ]

[Wanwan, do you think the driver will run into Pei Yanheng on his way back?] Xiaobai felt horrified just thinking about that scene and was afraid for the driver.

[If nothing unexpected happens, it should happen. I hope the driver won't be too scared because I gave him extra money.]

……

The driver, who was halfway back, was wondering why there was such a loud noise. Could they have encountered bandits? But the area around the capital was strictly governed, so this was impossible.

He stretched his head to take a look, and originally wanted to move from the middle of the road to the edge, but the next moment he was pulled in front of a man sitting on a tall horse.

"Tell me, where did you send the person?" There was a sign on the carriage, and it was obvious at a glance that it was the family that was interrogated in the morning.

Pei Yanheng got straight to the point and the driver was stunned, "Ah?"

He recognized this horse, it was a Ferghana horse. Everyone who came sat on it and looked down at the driver, making his face pale.

"Sir, what are you doing? It is not appropriate to disclose the customer's information in business matters."

"Look carefully, this is the husband of the person you sent away. Why don't you tell me quickly? Do you want someone to pry open your mouth?" Eunuch Shi scolded with a look.

"Oh, yes, that's right, we've delivered it..." The driver saw that there was still a man with a knife on his waist, and that he was a Yulin soldier, so his doubts were dispelled. He just didn't know why this man was so cruel that he didn't even know where his wife was.

"drive……"

After getting the answer, Pei Yanheng drove away without stopping for a moment, leaving behind only the coachman eating dust and the skinny horse pulling the carriage with bared teeth.

"My dear, having so many Ferghana horses makes my life worth living." The driver couldn't recover for a long time.

After searching all the way, Shen Zhaowan finally arrived at her destination.

Surrounded by bamboo forests, it is quiet and elegant. The stone steps are covered with weeds, and a small bamboo hut looks dilapidated and neglected.

Shen Zhaowan went up and looked around. Although it was dilapidated, there were rivers with gurgling water nearby. She was used to the scenery in the palace, so this place didn't seem so terrible at first glance.

"It's great to be able to live here after cleaning it up. But you have to buy everything."

Shen Zhaowan went into the house, found a rag, got some water and wanted to wipe the house, but before she could do anything, she was choked by the dust.

[Wanwan, you really need to clean up. Why don’t you just wait here for Pei Yanheng? It’s too dirty and you can’t clean it up.]

[I have no choice but to pretend. A woman who has seen through everything and is determined to leave her lover must take good care of this future home.]

[Wanwan, I'm so nervous.] Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out.

[Why are you nervous? I'm the one who should be nervous, okay.] Shen Zhaowan stood in the yard and decided to wipe it later.

[You are in my sea of ​​consciousness, and he can't eat you. ]

【But, he will eat you. 】

[Xiaobai, what nonsense are you talking about? ]
