Liu Yueru lay down quickly with her eyes closed.
"Tap! Tap!" In the dark night, the sound of lame footsteps came heavily towards Liu Yueru.
Liu Yueru's heart instantly rose to her throat as the other person approached.
The other person's footsteps stopped beside the bed.
Liu Yuru could clearly feel the other person's eyes scanning back and forth over her body.
She had one hand hidden inside her sleeve clenched tightly.
The dagger in the sleeve pocket had been taken away.
A hand slowly reached towards Liu Yueru's body.
Just when the other person's hand was about to touch Liu Yueru.
"Master!" A voice came from outside, and the other party quickly covered her with a quilt and turned to leave.
"What are you doing here at this time?" a deep voice sounded.
Liu Yueru thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out who the voice belonged to.
The servant spoke to the man in a somewhat nervous voice, "Master, everyone in the palace is searching for Madam Liu, do you want to hide her somewhere else first?"
"No need, they won't think of this place, don't worry." The man said with a bit of self-mockery in his voice.
"Yes, Master..."
The man looked gloomy, raised his hand and said to the other party, "Okay, you keep an eye on the area, and if you find anything unusual, just come and report it."
"Yes." The servant agreed helplessly and disappeared into the darkness.
The man looked at the room where Liu Yueru was imprisoned, with an ambiguous smile in his eyes.
The guards in the palace searched the entire palace.
Liu Zimo, Liu Fufeng and others returned to the palace of Concubine Xian, but did not see Liu Yueru.
When Liu Zhenghuang saw them coming back, he stood up and asked worriedly, "Did you find any clues?"
Liu Zimo shook his head dejectedly, and so did Liu Fufeng.
Lixia hurried back.
"Did you find anything?" Liu Zimo asked.
Lixia knelt down and replied, "No, I have checked almost all possible hiding places, but still couldn't find Madam Liu."
"General, Second Young Master, where are you going?"
"Bang!" There was a loud bang on the window.
Xie Jingrui didn't see Liu Yueru in the house, so he turned around and left.
"Jingrui, come back." Emperor Hexu hurriedly called out to Xie Jingrui.
Xie Jingrui walked towards Emperor Hexu with a worried look on his face. "Father, please go quickly. I still need to go out and look for Yue'er."
"If you search blindly like this, it's easy to miss something, so the four of you should separate into different areas."
"East, west, south, north, four directions. Each of you four will lead a group of people to search a corner. This is a stupid way, but it is also the most effective direction. The palace gates are locked, and it is impossible for anyone to get out. As long as they are still in the palace, there is no way they can't be found."
Xie Jingrui has already ordered people to start searching, and they act quickly according to Emperor Hexu's instructions.
The virtuous concubine clenched her hands and stretched her neck to look outside.
Yan Ge'er frowned.
"Grandpa Emperor, Brother Hua also wants to go out and help with the search." Xie Wenhua's voice rang out.
"Don't make trouble, wait here for them to come back." Emperor Hexu patiently coaxed Hua Ge'er.
Although Xie Wenhua was a little worried, he thought about it and decided to sit aside obediently.
Yan Ge'er lowered his head and thought for a long time without saying a word.
Then he stood up and knelt in the direction of Emperor Hexu. "Grandpa Emperor, mother is not nearby. Since the other party could take mother away so blatantly and hide her in the palace without any fear, he must be someone who knows the palace very well."
"After such a long time, we still haven't found any trace of him. I think his status in the palace is not simple, otherwise how could he do this?"
Emperor Hexu met Yan Ge'er's sharp eyes and asked tentatively, "What does Yan Ge'er mean?"
"Grandpa Emperor, please think carefully, is there anyone in the palace who grew up in the palace? Who is familiar with the palace and lives in a relatively remote place?" Yan Ge'er asked seriously.
This question stumped Emperor Hexu, and he frowned and thought about it carefully.
Then he shook his head; "How can there be such a person in the palace? When the princes grow up, they will have to separate from the family. They will have their own mansions outside the palace. It is impossible for them to stay in the palace."
"The last princess, Anlan, also left the palace some time ago. Grandpa Emperor could not have imagined that..."
Before Emperor Hexu finished speaking, Concubine Xian suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at him, exclaiming, "Your Majesty, I do know someone who fits what Yan Ge'er said."
"Where?" Emperor Hexu asked in confusion.
"The courtyard where the hostage lives." said Concubine Xian.
"Impossible." Emperor Hexu waved his hand and shook his head. "He is now a disabled person, and the courtyard is far away from here. It can't be him. Besides, why would he kidnap Jingrui's future princess? This is not in line with moral principles."
Emperor Hexu vehemently denied it.
Yan Ge'er didn't want to give up the chance to find his mother, so he pleaded with Emperor Hexu, "Grandpa Emperor, mother hasn't been found yet, why don't we go over and take a look, if she's not there, we can keep looking for her."
Emperor Hexu didn't want to disappoint Song Yiyan, so he nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness, we have searched all the surrounding areas, but there is no trace of Madam Liu." The secret guard came back to report.
Xie Jingrui's eyes turned a little colder. "Where did you check?"
The secret guard spoke truthfully, "Except for the palaces of the emperor's concubines and the place where the hostage lived, we checked all other places, even the toilets and servants' quarters."
Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly; "Let's go and take a look at that place."
"Your Highness suspects that he was the one who took Madam Liu away?" The secret guard was somewhat puzzled. "But he is not in good health. How could he have taken Madam Liu away so quietly from such a far place?"
"The more unlikely a person is, the more suspicious he is. Go quickly." After Xie Jingrui said this, he also rushed in the direction where Proton lived.
Liu Yueru quietly moved the chain, wanting to escape before the other party came in.
However, she just raised her foot; “clang!”
The chains made a clanking sound.
The person outside pushed the door open instantly.
Liu Yueru turned over and lay down, wanting to continue pretending to be asleep.
The man stopped beside Liu Yueru and said to her in a hoarse voice, "Don't pretend to be asleep. I know you've been awake for a long time."
"Get up, I have something to tell you." The man's voice sounded again.
Seeing this, Liu Yueru also opened her eyes and held the hairpin she had taken off her head in her palm.
Climbed up from the bed.
She turned around and looked at the other person's face. Her eyes moved slightly and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"How could it be you?"
The man sat down directly beside the bed and approached her with a strange smile; "Let's make a bet?"
