The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Shen Qingyan didn't care about anything and drank the contraceptive soup in one gulp.

She secretly swore that even if the sky collapsed and the earth sank in the Yangxin Palace today, she would never believe Gu Beihuai's words!

So she decided that from today on, she would go to each of the eighteen concubines to offer warmth and actually stay with them.

I have to live with concubines for eighteen days, five days of menstruation, and what should I do with the remaining seven or eight days?

Well, we can hold a few palace banquets every now and then, such as a spring banquet, a flower banquet, a poetry banquet...

Okay, there are three palace banquets in a month, and there are still four or five days left...

Well, I'll just rely on Gu Ruxiao when the time comes.

Shen Qingyan thought about it silently, and asked Qingmei to clean up and inform Concubine Qi.

After Qingmei left, Shen Qingyan sighed deeply and went to play with Xiao Yuxuan.

At the same time, in the Princess's Mansion.

The Salesian Church was set up in the entire backyard of the princess's mansion. The rows of rooms had been renovated. The children's voices were as loud as silver bells, and their laughter and playfulness added a lot of liveliness.

Gu Ruxiao held Yun Miao in her arms and stood under the corridor, looking at this group of lively and cute children, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

It would be nice if I could live like this forever.

Just then, a little girl about four or five years old trotted towards Gu Ruxiao.

"Princess sister, look, I picked a small flower for you."

Another little boy came over with his hands clasped together.

"Sister Princess, this is the butterfly I caught for you!"

However, as soon as he opened his hands, the butterfly took the opportunity to fly away.

"Butterfly!"

The little boy hurried to chase after him.

Gu Ruxiao said quickly: "If it flies away, there's no need to chase it. Be careful not to bump into it."

Seeing the little boy chasing the ball so enthusiastically, the other children also started to chase after him, laughing and making noises.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunmiao in his arms also giggled and waved his little hands, as if he wanted to catch the butterflies too.

Soon, Xiao Yunmiao began to yawn. Gu Ruxiao knew that she was sleepy, so he held her and took a nap.

Just after coaxing little Yunmiao to sleep, a servant hurried in.

"Your Highness, this is bad..."

Gu Ruxiao frowned and immediately made a gesture to keep quiet. After walking out of the door, he scolded, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

The servant said anxiously: "Xiaoxuan'er is missing!"

Xiaoxuaner is the little boy who wants to give the butterfly to Gu Ruxiao.

Gu Ruxiao was surprised, "What happened? Why did it disappear?"

"I don't know either. Only Xiaoxuan is missing. I have already sent someone to look for him."

Gu Ruxiao was a little frightened, because there were many rumors in the capital recently that there was an evil ghost that specialized in eating children's hearts, and children often disappeared for no reason...

Although this rumor is too unbelievable, we must be on guard against it.

Gu Ruxiao didn't bother to punish the servants who were taking care of the child, and immediately sent more people to search for him.

He went to the Salesian Church to investigate for clues.

There were no signs of break-in or vandalism in the Salesian Church's rooms, and the children did not see anyone suspicious.

That only means that Xiaoxuan ran away by himself.

But the Salesian Church was surrounded by high walls, and there wasn’t even a hole big enough for cats or dogs to crawl into.

Faced with so many doubts, Gu Ruxiao did not dare to delay and immediately asked someone to report the case to the authorities.

Gu Ruxiao felt that the soldiers were arriving too slowly, so he took people with him to look for him personally.

Night gradually fell.

The night in early spring was a bit cold. Gu Ruxiao had ridden his horse through the streets of the capital many times, but still couldn't find Xiaoxuan'er.

Caiyun felt sorry for her and couldn't help but persuade her, "Princess, you've been looking for her for a whole day. You should go back and rest for a while. We will come and look for her."

Gu Ruxiao shook his head and was about to speak when he saw a black figure flash by not far ahead, and he seemed to be carrying something on his shoulders.

"stop!"

Her alertness reached its peak at this moment, and she rode her horse and chased after him without thinking.

"Princess!"

Caiyun also followed.

The black-clad figure dashed into a deep and narrow alleyway, and it might be difficult for the horse to enter.

Gu Ruxiao jumped off the horse, pulled out the whip from his waist, and rushed in.

When Caiyun chased after them, only Gu Ruxiao's horse was left, snorting and pacing back and forth at the entrance of the alley.

The alley was deep and dark. Caiyun didn't know any martial arts, so she didn't dare to rush in and had to go back to ask for help.

Gu Ruxiao had a hunch that the man in black was definitely not a good person. The person he was carrying on his shoulders looked like a child at first glance, and it must be Xiaoxuan'er!

Gu Ruxiao had only run a few steps when he felt a fierce gust of wind blowing towards him.

Without thinking, she whipped the horse and swung it.

There was only a muffled groan from a man, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Gu Ruxiao continued to chase.

Spots of light gradually appeared in front, and Gu Ruxiao could see the man's figure clearly.

It is indeed a man carrying a child!

"Stop, you bold thief!"

Gu Ruxiao tapped her toes lightly, took advantage of the momentum to leap up, and lashed the man's head with the whip.

However, the man raised the child with his backhand.

Seeing that the whip was about to hit the child, Gu Ruxiao quickly withdrew his force and staggered back two steps.

In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared.

Gu Ruxiao was annoyed, but was still determined to keep chasing after the man. Just as he turned a street, someone suddenly covered his mouth from behind.

The man was very strong, but Gu Ruxiao was no pushover either. He elbowed him hard, and the other party groaned, but he didn't let go.

"Princess, it's me."

When the person behind him spoke, Gu Ruxiao was stunned.

To confirm her guess, she reached out and felt back.

The person behind him had an empty left arm. It was indeed him! Rong Lan!

Rong Lan then said, "Princess, please don't make any noise. It's dangerous ahead.

Then he let her go.

Gu Ruxiao was slightly out of breath. After weighing the pros and cons, she chose to believe him temporarily.

But he couldn't suppress his curiosity and quietly looked outside the alley.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, with a whoosh, an arrow feather was nailed to the wall.

It was less than an inch away from Gu Ruxiao's head.

Rong Lan was startled by her action and subconsciously pulled her into his arms.

Gu Ruxiao's head hit Rong Lan's chest softly, and was enveloped by his unique fresh breath.

Her face turned red instantly, but luckily it was dark so it couldn't be seen.

Gu Ruxiao's body was stiff, not daring to move.

Rong Lan didn't notice her strangeness and he quietly threw a stone.

The sound of stones falling to the ground was very loud, but no arrows were shot over.

Rong Lan did the same thing and tried a few more times, but it was still quiet outside and there was no movement.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. When he lowered his head, he saw Gu Ruxiao's entire face was held in his arms...

Rong Lan was horrified and immediately distanced himself and apologized.

"Princess, please forgive me. I did not do this on purpose. I was just worried about you..."

"Okay, you don't have to say anything." Gu Ruxiao suddenly interrupted him.
