The princess was lost?!

Xie Yinxiang couldn’t care less about Jiang Xiaoran and quickly walked up to the stands.

A group of officials was discussing the terrain anxiously.

“Although the hunting ground is wide, it’s heavily guarded at the outermost area. Her Highness definitely won’t be able to walk out!”

“Marquis Yongye is very skilled. Why did he disappear at the same time as Her Highness? He must have fallen into some beast pit!”

“Apart from increasing the search, we also have to consider the possibility of the princess chasing after prey and falling into the Jian River!”

Noble Consort Qiao was sobbing not far away. Gu Yihan’s expression was cold as he hugged her and comforted her in a low voice.

Even the emperor’s expression didn’t look good.

Xie Yinxiang hurriedly grabbed her father, who was in an intense discussion. “Father! What happened to Nuo’er? Why had she gone missing?”

Lord Xie had no time to answer her. He waved his hand. “This is a matter of great importance. Don’t cause trouble!”

Then, he joined the discussion for countermeasures.

It was only after Jiang Xiaoran asked the imperial guards at the side that he came over to inform Xie Yinxiang.

He said in a hurry, “I heard that the sentries have just been dismissed and the people who went down have returned one after another. Five minutes have passed, but the princess and Siming haven’t returned yet.” Xie Yinxiang watched as the sky gradually darkened.

Her heart clenched.

Suddenly, she thought of a possibility.

“Young Master Jiang! Could it be that the person who kidnapped me also went to ambush Nuo’er?”

Jiang Xiaoran frowned, clearly thinking of this possibility.

“But Siming’s martial arts are superb. Not to mention two people, even a hundred people won’t be able to get close to him.”

Xie Yinxiang was anxious and worried. “What if he and Nuo’er were separated for the time being? The forest is dense and filled with the unknown. There might be people hiding everywhere!”

The two of them discussed and decided to report everything they knew to His Majesty first.

When Gu Yihan heard that there were actually two guards hiding in the imperial abode with ill intentions, he was furious.

“Where are those two people?”

Jiang Xiaoran said, “After this subject fought them, this subject knocked the two of them out, tied them up, and locked them in the woodshed. This subject then had an imperial guard to watch over them.”

Gu Yihan’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He called Eunuch Chunshou over. “Send someone from the Punishment Bureau to interrogate them immediately. Break off their teeth one by one and ask them who sent them here. Check if they have anything to do with the princess’s disappearance!” Eunuch Chunshou hurriedly received the order.

When Huang Changrui heard His Majesty’s instructions, he immediately trembled like a sieve.

Oh no, he was in trouble.

Xie Yinxiang was worried about Gu Nuo’er and hated herself for not being able to ride a horse. Otherwise, she would have followed the others into the forest to search.

When Jiang Xiaoran saw this, he comforted her. “Don’t worry, the princess has always been blessed by the heavens and has never been unlucky. She might have gone somewhere to play with Siming and forgotten the time.

“Moreover, General Bai Yi also brought elite soldiers into the forest. Including the imperial guards, there are more than a thousand men. With such an intense search, we’ll definitely be able to find them.”

Xie Yinxiang placed her palms together and muttered prayers.

Just now.

Ye Siming’s fast horse had already searched along the Jian River.

His black and narrow eyes were burning and uneasy.

Where was Gu Nuo’er?

The warhorse also seemed to be anxious. It brought Ye Siming to the place where Gu Nuo’er had fallen into the water.

Naturally, there was no sign of her here.

At this moment, Ye Siming saw a wet little figure lying on the shore in front of him.

He flew over almost instantly.

Gu Nuo’er’s riding clothes were drenched, and her hair had also spread out. Her black hair stuck to her fair cheeks.

Her lively eyes were tightly shut, and her usually pink lips had also turned a little pale..
