The Emperor's actions were all to take a look at the power within his hands. He wouldn't be able to dodge this time.

"Shangguan Family, send a message to Feng Ting, tell him to find Miss before the imperial guards arrive and bring her back safely."

In the study, the setting sun shone through the layers of leaves, reflecting on the table.

Shangguan Huanlei's few words were printed on the pure white paper, and then he said in a low voice to the old man who looked like an official family.

After that, the Shangguan Family was stunned for a moment before slowly leaving …

After the departure of Eunuch Lin with his Prime Minister's Estate, the mansion descended into a deathly stillness and without the slightest hint of happiness.

After Bai Zhiru found out where the princess was, he destroyed everything in the house. After the Prime Minister Bai found out about this, he flew into a rage and ordered Bai Zhiru to be grounded for more than a month.

The First Madam was even more heartbroken as a result, lying in his Autumn Lotus Garden without eating or drinking. Perhaps it was because the news had come so fiercely that her hopes had been dashed and her heart could not accept it.

As for Bai Zhiyuan, ever since he had received the imperial edict, he had locked himself in his room and did not see anyone.

Auntie Du who was sitting outside paced back and forth outside the house anxiously. She knew what her daughter was thinking. This time, she didn't even manage to get a Crown Prince's concubine. As the number one beauty in the Eastern County, she had really thrown her face away.

In the end, it was because she was too disappointing as a mother and didn't give her daughter a good background.

With a burst of anger, he ran towards the courtyard of Prime Minister Bai while crying.

On the side of the Scholar's Manor, in the courtyard, Situ Lingwei was standing in the garden, hugging a plethora of bright flowers as she ran. She looked just like a three year old child.

"Mom, you tell dad that I don't want to be the Crown Prince's secondary concubine. You know what I'm thinking."

Situ Lingxue knelt on the cold ground, her voice soft and crisp as she spoke. She looked at her carefully, and saw traces of worry on her face. Her eyes were red with grief; she must have been crying.

In front of her, was the manager of the Priest Temple, Gu Qing. She was elegant, graceful, and exuded the aura of a noble woman.

"Xue'er, do you know what's the most important thing to a woman? It was to find a good family, to live a life of wealth and prosperity. You saw how stupid your sister is right now. She's even worse than a three year old child. I have bet all my hope on you, but do you have the heart to make me sad? "

Madam Situ sighed, her tone filled with endless interest.

"But, Mother, you can't ruin your daughter's happiness just because of this! "You know that Liu Lang and I know each other, and we share mutual feelings. We have long since promised that we would never marry anyone but each other."

Situ Lingxue suddenly stood up. Her tears flowed like a fountain as she loudly roared at Madam Situ.

"Pa …"

Immediately, the crisp sound of a slap resounded through the quiet garden, scaring Situ Lingwei, who was playing in the distance, into tears.

"Mother, you actually hit me …"

Situ Lingxue clutched at her burning face, her body uncontrollably falling to the ground unconscious. He looked at his mother in disbelief.

"Xue'er, as the young miss of the Situ Family, do you really not know that your own marriage is not up to you to decide? Don't tell me you're not going to marry. If he really loves you, he should think for you and let you be happy, instead of obsessing about you. He is just a poor scholar, what can I give you to be happy? Xue'er, don't blame your mother for not reminding you. Even without Liu Qing Yuan, you are still someone who must enter the palace. You're so smart, you should understand us. "

At this moment, Madam Situ was also flustered and exasperated, so she was forced to give her a slap.

At this time, his heart was also in pain, hitting his son's heart and hurting his mother. She just didn't want her daughter to go her own way. Was there something wrong with that?

"Mother, then are you happy?"

After a long while, Situ Lingxue stubbornly raised her head, suppressing her tears.

Once she said this, the surroundings instantly became silent. A trace of uneasiness flashed across Madam Situ's tired face, but it was quickly covered by a smile.

She did not answer and hesitated for a moment before hurriedly leaving with her maidservant.

Was she happy all her life?

She had also thought about this question too, perhaps because she had thought too much. Right now, she was numb and indifferent, unable to feel the so-called love and love.

"Woo woo …"

After Madam Situ left, Situ Lingxue leaned against a chair and cried until she was out of breath.

She really hated herself for being born on that day, hated those so-called Venerate Heavens Sect people, hated them for calculating that some lousy Phoenixis Maiden would appear here, and cause her happiness for the rest of her life.

"Eldest Miss, the Madam has ordered for you to return immediately. You are not allowed to take even half a step outside the door without her permission. "All of you, watch the young miss properly. If anything happens, you can ask."

Madam Situ's mother came back. After giving Situ Lingxue the orders, she gave her personal maidservant a few more instructions before slowly leaving.

"Hehe …" "Do you think you can make me feel better just like this?"

As Situ Lingxue looked at Situ Lingwei, who was happily playing in the courtyard, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes. If she was the one who was delirious, how wonderful it would be.

The one who had entered the palace was originally Situ Lingwei, but now that she had gone insane, she could only let Situ Lingxue take her place. Little did she know that someone else was already in her heart.

Compared to the intense reactions of the other three palaces, the attitude of the Royal Family towards this matter could be said to be carefree.

Eunuch Lin waited for a long time before the old prince slowly walked out.

He hadn't even opened his mouth to read the imperial edict when the old prince began to criticize him. It simply meant that his grandson had disappeared, and the emperor was actually thinking of bestowing an imperial concubine. This truly angered him quite a bit.

However, Eunuch Lin had announced a secret decree that only the Old Prince himself knew of. As for the content of the imperial edict, outsiders had no way of knowing.

After the Old Duke sent off Eunuch Lin, he hurriedly summoned his hidden guards, telling them to find Jun Mohan within a month or they would be in the wrong.

At the same time, on the fourth floor of the Love Sea, Hong Dan and the rest sat by the table with solemn expressions.

"Zi Li, you said that you can't even protect the young miss, what else can you do?"

Cheng Shuang was a person with a fiery temper, who straightforwardly spread the anger in her heart onto Zi Li's body.

I'm sorry, it's all because I'm useless and not as skilled as anyone else. It's all my fault, wuu …

Originally, she was already very upset that she didn't protect the little miss, but after hearing her sisters scold her like this, she felt wronged in her heart and couldn't help but cry for a moment.

"Well, don't cry. Cheng Shuang, this matter can't be blamed on Zi Li. Those people had obviously come prepared. Zi Li, who was weak on his own, was obviously not their match. I can only blame myself for being careless and not sending more people to protect Miss. "

Hong Dan slapped the table and sighed.

From the time Miss Lan Yi disappeared, she should have been on guard, but she was only concerned with Lan Yi's matters and ignored Miss, she really shouldn't have.

"Alright, Huang Yan and Lu Tan are going to the Xi Liang to find Lan Yi. If there's any news, let's leave. The Blue Luan will guard the Old General Bai, and don't let the young miss not be able to see her grandfather. Orange Frost is still guarding the Love Sea, I will be relying on you for the next few days. Zi Li and I will go find Miss. I believe Miss must still be somewhere waiting for us to save. "

Hong Dan looked out of the window at the gradually increasing stream of people, coming and going, it was very crowded, he frowned and ordered.

Ever since the Emperor announced the princess, many unfamiliar faces appeared on the capital. Now that they knew Shangguan Jingyan had gone missing, they hurried outside.

She couldn't help but sigh. This prophecy really caused a bunch of people to die!

At present, everyone believed that Shangguan Jingyan was the reincarnation of the Phoenixis Maiden, and her whereabouts were unknown as well.

Endless desires are laughable. No matter how powerful a dynasty is, it would eventually be drowned by history, let alone a person with decades of lifespan. Everything will go to zero. Why not live happily with a zero mentality?

On the fifth day of Bai Zhixi and the rest's disappearance, Dongjun Kingdom and the secret personnel from the other three nations, as well as a large group of martial practitioners headed towards capital in groups of three or five.

He flipped through the mountain forests and cliffs around the capital but still could not find any trace of them.

However, the emperor, who was sitting in the palace, received daily reports from officials from various places. The commoners were disturbed by those people, and they tore down trees, trampled on crops and demolished houses.

After receiving the message, Emperor Dongao's face turned as dark as ink. He flew into a rage for a long time and then sent the Fourth Prince to go to different places to suppress those audacious martial artists.

After he calmed down, he began to doubt his decision to release the princess. He didn't know if it was good or bad.

As for the two who had disappeared, Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Chen, they were currently lying on a small mountain village's shabby bed.

Dongfang Chen laid quietly on the bed, his handsome face was filled with wounds that were similar to tree branches, the depth of the marks were different and the shape were different, it was like a drawing had been carelessly painted with a crayon, it no longer looked like how it was before.

Although the scars had been cleaned, the sight of the red, bloody scars was shocking.

Upon closer inspection, his clothes were tattered and his back was already scratched by the rocks. He reclined there, tightly hugging Shangguan Jingyan.

His back was a striking bright red, and his fair skin was covered with bruises. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his left hand was twisted even more. It snaked all the way into the depths of his collarbone, and it was hard to tell if his original clothes were red or … Blood!

Shangguan Jingyan's hair was in a mess, her head was buried in Dongfang Chen's embrace, and even now, he could not see her face clearly.

Only the blood on his shoulders could be seen staining his clothes red, making it very eye-catching.
