In the evening, Prince Rong's Mansion received news that something had happened to Princess Rong and Yan Muxi.

Jinchun and Qiuzhu led a group of people in the dark and rain, rushing to the farm at full speed. Jinchun stayed behind to look after Yinxia, ​​while Qiuzhu led another group of people into the forest.

At the palace, Yu Jinzhou was quietly sent back to the palace by secret guards at night. He was still unconscious and could not wake up.

After the Imperial Hospital Director examined Yu Jinzhou's pulse, he bowed and reported to Emperor Yuan Jing, "Your Highness has been drunk for three days. No antidote is needed. You will wake up after sleeping for three days."

"Is there any way to wake up early?" There was a hint of worry in Emperor Yuanjing's dark eyes.

The court official said truthfully: "You can use acupuncture to wake your Highness, but this method is extreme and your Highness will have to suffer."

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at his third son, who looked and had a similar personality to him, lying on the bed. He suppressed his anger and said, "Forget it. Don't give him acupuncture. Let him wake up on his own in three days!"

After the imperial physician left, Emperor Yuan Jing asked Yu Jinzhou's personal guard, "Prince Rong's wife was really taken away by the wolf king."

"It's absolutely true. Hundreds of eyes saw it with their own eyes. Prince Rong's wife was carried away to the depths of the jungle by a giant gray wolf." The secret guard said truthfully.

"What about Princess Rong? Is she still alive?" Emperor Yuanjing asked again.

The secret guard was sweating profusely, "The one who was sent to Fenglin Manor was not Princess Rong, but an old woman who had already died."

"Okay, very good." Emperor Yuan Jing laughed out of anger, veins popping out on his forehead, "Pass my order to the East Suburb Camp, order the commander of the Imperial Guards to lead 5,000 Imperial Guards to search the mountain, dig three feet deep to find the Crown Prince Consort of Prince Rong... I want to see her alive, or her body dead."

At the same time, on the top of Fenglin Mountain, Yu Wantai knelt in front of a mound and kowtowed three times.

Jixiang and Ruyi knelt on one side, with red eyes, and kowtowed to their master.

The master and his two servants did not spend too much time here. After bowing hurriedly, they disappeared into the depths of the maple forest.

The camp of the Imperial Guards was only thirty miles away from Fenglin Manor. After receiving the oral order from Emperor Yuanjing, five thousand Imperial Guards set out overnight and entered the mountains and forests to search at dawn.

After searching for two days in a row, they finally found a human skull in a wolf cave. Later, they found many human bones and hair nearby. Putting all the pieces together, they saw that the woman was a tall and slender woman, who had basically the same features as Yan Muxi who was taken away by the wolf.

After searching for several days in a row without any results, everyone had to accept the fact that Yan Muxi had been eaten by wolves and was no longer alive.

On the seventh day after the incident, the bones were placed in a coffin and transported to Prince Rong's Mansion.

It was not until the coffin was brought into the city that Qian Manman learned the tragic news that her daughter had died. She couldn't bear the blow and fainted from tears.

When Mrs. Su thought about what her two daughters had experienced before, she burst into tears and tried to hold back her grief while arranging mourning arrangements at home.

The half-brothers and half-sisters in the Yan family were also grief-stricken, especially Yan Muruo, a timid little girl who always shed tears silently. For the first time, she couldn't stop crying.

Yan Muqing made a special trip back to the Yan Mansion. She learned about Yan Muxi's death a few days ago, and her first reaction was disbelief.

But when I thought about how my second sister in my previous life also died at the age of 20 at the hands of bandits, I began to believe that Yan Muxi's death might have been destined by fate. That good second sister is really gone.

After a day of despair and sadness, Yan Muqing realized something was wrong. The last time she met Yan Muxi, some of the things Yan Muxi said seemed to be instructing her on what to do in the future, as if he knew she was going to leave.

So is it possible that the second sister did not die at all, but faked her death in order to escape the control of the emperor?

Yan Muqing stayed up all night thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yan Muxi was faking his death. It was very likely that his second sister in the previous life was not dead either. She used the trick of escaping to hide her tracks, and actually avoided the troubles and lived a free life.

But all of this was just her guess. She had to be sad and make the emperor believe that his second sister was dead.

Yan Muxi's unexpected death made all the masters in the Yan Mansion look sad, except for Old Lady Yan, who not only did not feel sad at all, but also became suspicious.

In the afternoon, when she learned that Yan Yongchen had returned home, Old Lady Yan called him to Fujuyuan and asked him coldly, "Sister Xi was taken away by a wolf. Was it you who deliberately arranged this?"

Yan Yongchen did not deny it. "Yes, it was my son who asked Yuechan and Yan Da to send Xijie away."

Old Madam Yan looked over with a sharp gaze and asked through gritted teeth, "Why? Is it worth your time and again to go to so much trouble to protect a daughter who has dirty blood?"

"Mother, you have misunderstood. It is not my son's intention to protect Sister Xi's safety. It is an agreement between my son and Prince Rong. He will only act according to my son's plan if Sister Xi is alive and well." Yan Yongchen still spoke in his usual indifferent tone.

"Oh!" Old Madam Yan sneered, "It wasn't my intention. You can only deceive me, an old woman, but can you deceive yourself?"

Seeing Yan Yongchen frowning and keeping silent, Old Lady Yan said, "For the last time, if you dare to continue to protect lowly people at the risk of being exposed, I will once again let you experience the pain of having your heart ripped out."

Before Mrs. Yan finished her words, Yan Yongchen stood up, bowed and said goodbye, "Mother, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave first." After saying this, he strode out of the house without waiting for Mrs. Yan's response.

After a short while, the gatekeeper came in and reported, "The master has gone in the direction of the east courtyard."

With a "crash", Old Lady Yan threw all the teacups on the table to the ground, her eyes sinister as if she was a demon crawling out of hell.

Because she was unable to give birth to an heir and her death was an accident, the funeral of Prince Rong's wife was not a grand ceremony. They only issued an obituary to notify close relatives to come and pay their respects, and after three days of keeping her body, she was hastily buried in the royal tomb.

On the day of the burial, Yu Jintang and Yu Jinzhou came to Prince Rong's mansion together.

The moment he saw the coffin, Yu Jinzhou felt the horrible reality that Yan Muxi was no longer alive.

Like Yan Muqing, he also thought that Yan Muxi had faked his death to escape and staged a trick of escaping with him.

But when he saw that the four maids who served Yan Muxi personally were all there, their eyes swollen from crying so hard that they couldn't open them, he felt that his guess was a little absurd.

Yan Muxi was just a delicate girl who never went out of the house. Not to mention escaping from the wolves, she would not be able to survive without the service of her servants.

Moreover, he had sent people to the Qian family in Jiangnan, but did not find any information about Yan Muxi.

Everything told him that the Aunt Wang, whom he had been thinking about so much, was really gone.

If he had known this would happen, he should not have been so cautious and would have taken Yan Muxi before she entered the palace and tied her up to his side.

That way he could see her often and touch her whenever he wanted. She would always be his and not someone else's wife. He could only call her Aunt Wang from afar.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and he no longer has the chance to start over.

He would never see again the woman who made his heart beat fast and whom he had missed for more than a thousand days and nights!

That clever and cunning woman was gone, completely disappeared from his life.

After the 49th day after Yan Muxi's death, Yin Xia and others returned to the Yan Mansion. Old Prince Rong took the initiative to return Yan Muxi's dowry to the Yan Mansion.

The indentures of Jinchun, Yinxia, ​​Qiuzhu and Dongyu were not in the Yan Mansion, but in the Qian Family in Jiangnan. After Qian Manman asked for their opinions, she let them go back to Jiangnan.

In the Jiangnan city of Jinling, Qian Chongguang fell ill after learning the news of Yan Muxi's death, and his condition did not improve after dozens of days of recuperation.
