Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 51

Xiao Ling disappeared.

A normal person who lost his father, mother, and grandfather overnight would probably go crazy, not to mention that Xiao Ling was not a normal person in the first place.

Xiao Lian rubbed the center of his brows, it's ironic, until now he is still cleaning up the mess for this family.

"Let's go." Xiao Lian stood up, "Go and see where he can hide."

"My lord!" Xiao Lian had just stepped out of the palace gate when he saw Duan Yanlin running towards him in a panic.

"Doctor Duan." Xiao Lian stopped, and suddenly it occurred to him that the six sticks of incense that stunned him might have come from the hands of the person in front of him, and his eyes immediately changed.

Duan Yanlin only felt that the top of his head was shrouded in cold air, but the situation was urgent and there was great chaos, he really couldn't find other helpers.

"My lord, the third lady is gone!"

"Tell me in detail."

"People from the Hou's mansion are going to the empty building. The third lady has to temporarily stay at my house for a few days. Today I accompany her to go out to find someone as usual. But when I turned around, she disappeared out of thin air on the street!"

"And it's not the first time Miss San has had something like this happen." Duan Yanlin added.

"Where did you say that?"

"Actually, I know Miss San because she disappeared one night and was finally put back in front of the Hou Mansion. I was dragged from the imperial hospital by the princess to treat Miss San."

"Who did it that time?"

Duan Yanlin shook his head: "I remember that Miss San said she didn't remember after waking up, but she and the concubine closed the door and talked for a long time in the room. If the concubine was awake, she would definitely know a thing or two."

And this kind of thing, she never mentioned it to him.

"Do you think it's the same person who committed the crime?"

"I don't dare to make a statement, but I just vaguely feel that there is a connection between these two things."

"My concubine is still awake, leave this matter to me." Two people disappeared from the world at the same time in a day, and this matter became more and more treacherous.It seems that tonight is not only as simple as finding someone, but also has to be investigated carefully as a case.

When Xiao Lian was standing in front of Xiaoling's mansion, there were guards, Duan Yanlin, Zhu Chong and Gao Wei behind him.

The Fourth Prince's Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers holding torches, and it was as bright as day.The emperor never relaxed the house arrest of Xiao Ling during his lifetime, and with the addition of Xiao Lian's manpower yesterday, he wanted to leave in a big way, unless he really grew wings.

"Go in and have a look." Xiao Lian waved his hand and led a small group of people into Xiao Ling's mansion.

"What are you doing?!" A man who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward to stop him.

Xiao Lian took out his token: "The rebel Hua Guogong launched the palace coup last night, and has been executed on the spot. We suspect that the fourth prince Xiao Ling is related to the treason, and we are here to search!"

"You guys are really spitting blood! What kind of treason, it has nothing to do with His Highness!" The housekeeper stubbornly blocked Xiao Lian's way.

"Whether it matters or not, we will find out as soon as we search, get out of the way!"

After all, the housekeeper was no match for everyone, so Xiao Lian quickly entered Xiao Ling's residence.

"Search separately!" A group of people divided into four teams and dispersed in different directions.

"Meow--"

As soon as Xiao Lian stepped into Xiao Ling's backyard, he heard a few meows.

"Boss, there are many cats and dogs inside." Xiao Lian looked in the direction of Zhu Chong's finger, and sure enough, he saw many cats and dogs in Xiao Ling's courtyard, about dozens of them.

"I heard from my wife that the fourth prince often takes in stray cats and dogs on the street. Look at these cats and dogs, they don't have any peculiar smell, and their fur is shiny. It seems that someone has carefully taken care of them." Zhu Chong said again.

Xiao Lian was noncommittal, with Xiao Ling's temperament, he was always uncertain about the people around him, let alone cats and dogs?

"One, two, three..." Zhu Chong counted to the group of cats and dogs, "My lord, there are fifteen dogs and ten cats here! It's really eye-opening, and I must talk to my wife when I go back. Said, how comfortable are those stray dogs and stray cats taken in by the fourth prince."

"Let's find someone first." Xiao Lian ignored the cats and dogs barking at him in the courtyard, and turned Xiao Ling's courtyard upside down.

However, Yixin searched the huge palace for an entire hour, but all returned in vain.

"Strange." Gao Wei said, "Where did he hide?"

Xiao Lian couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Call the butler just now."

The butler's face was unexpectedly brought up.

"Where are your four highnesses?"

"The old slave doesn't know." The housekeeper looked very uncooperative.

"Take him down and interrogate him!"

"Yes!" Gao Wei said and dragged the housekeeper down.

"What are you doing!" the housekeeper thumped his hands and yelled, but it was useless, Gao Wei lifted him down with one hand.

Taking advantage of Gao Wei's interrogation of the steward, they exchanged and searched the entire palace again.

At the gate of Xiao Ling's courtyard, Xiao Lian, Zhu Chong and Duan Yanlin met again, but they shook their heads and said nothing, but they still got nothing.

"My lord." At this time, Gao Wei came back and replied: "This subordinate is both soft and hard, but the housekeeper just beat him to death and refused to let go, saying that he didn't know where the fourth prince had gone."

"What about the rest of the mansion?"

"Since His Majesty ordered the fourth prince to be confined, all food and clothing expenses in the mansion are delivered to the door, and the people in the mansion have no chance to go out."

This is strange, Xiao Lian's eyes fell on the cats and dogs in the courtyard, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Wait, Xiao Lian's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Zhu Chong, you just counted, how many cats and dogs are there in the courtyard?"

"Fifteen dogs, ten cats, what's wrong, my lord?" Zhu Chong asked, scratching his head.

"How about you count again now?"

"One, two, three... Huh? How did it become fifteen dogs and eleven cats?" Zhu Chong didn't understand, "Could it be that I missed the count just now?"

Xiao Lian shook his head: "It's not that you missed the count, but this cat is telling us where Xiao Ling went."

"Boss, what do you mean?" Zhu Chong was even more confused.

"The strange thing is in Xiao Ling's courtyard. Let's search again, we must be careful and not miss any corner."

"Yes!"

In Xiao Ling's courtyard, there is a bedroom, a study room, a rockery, and a small square pond.They have searched the bedrooms and study twice, and a third time, but they still haven't found anything.

Only rockery and ponds are left.

Xiao Lian stopped and thought, "Could it be a rockery?"

Xiao Lian asked others to wait outside, and led Gao Wei and Zhu Chong into the rockery. Duan Yanlin also followed, but Xiao Lian did not stop him.

The four of them held torches and walked into the rockery together. Gao Wei walked in the front and Xiao Lian walked behind.

Just when they were about to walk out of the rockery, thinking that they had returned in vain, Gao Wei, the leader, suddenly exclaimed: "Look here!"

"What?" Zhu Chong leaned forward to have a look.

Gao Wei's foot stomped on the ground three times, and Xiao Lian immediately sensed something was wrong: "The bottom is empty."

The eyes of the four people suddenly burst into light, this is it!

"It's so exciting. I didn't expect there to be secret passages in the palace." Zhu Chong couldn't mention how excited he was. God knows how boring his life has been during the few months when the prince was away.

Now it's all right, the prince showed him such a big scene on the second day after he came back, can he not be excited?

Thank God that Gao Wei opened this hidden secret passage without saying a word. If it wasn't for the cat that suddenly appeared, they might not be able to find it even after spending three days and three nights.

Probably for the purpose of ventilation, the entrance of this secret passage is made of stone fence, covered with a layer of gray wooden planks that are the same color as the ground, so the cat can escape through the fence against the wooden planks, but the four of them It is more difficult for men to enter.

It took Zhu Chong and Gao Wei a lot of effort to open the stone fence, and at a glance, it was dark inside, and nothing could be seen.

"Doctor Duan, this trip is dangerous, so you can wait here."

"No!" Seeing this secret passage, Duan Yanlin felt even more uneasy. He always felt that the disappearance of the third lady was somehow related to this secret passage, "My lord, please bring me with you. Trouble."

Xiao Lian hesitated for a moment, and agreed: "Gao Wei, you are here to meet him."

"Subordinates obey."

So Zhu Chong, Duan Yanlin and Xiao Lian got into the tunnel one by one.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, Xiao Lian frowned at the pungent smell. He raised the torch and saw that there were many animal corpses scattered on both sides of the tunnel.

"Ouch—" Zhu Chong, who was walking in front, almost vomited after smelling the smell: "Boss, I'm afraid this is not a secret passage, but a Pansi hole."

"You're the one who talks too much." Xiao Lian cursed.

"No, boss, I think the cats and dogs up there are having a good time, why are all the corpses down there?"

"When you see Xiao Ling, you can ask him yourself."

Zhu Chong shut his mouth knowingly, thinking that if his wife saw this scene, she would probably cry out of fright on the spot.

The tunnel was winding and winding, and the three of them walked for about two quarters of an hour before reaching the end.

At the end of the tunnel was still a thick stone fence. After a few joint efforts to open it, Zhu Chong was the first to climb up.

Here is a room, empty, nothing.

Just as Zhu Chong was about to get out, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Xiao Ling, you are crazy! What are you going to do!"

The three immediately and silently restored the exit to its original state.

After doing all this, Duan Yanlin trembled all over, because the voice just now was made by Cao Wenxian!

"My lord, the third lady is up there!" Duan Yanlin said with a nervous expression and lowered his voice.

Xiao Lian nodded, indicating that he had heard it.

The three extinguished the torches, hid under the planks and listened.

"Squeak—" With a sound, the door was opened.

"This king is here to take you back to the old place."

"I don't want it!" Cao Wenxian's voice was full of panic, Duan Yanlin couldn't help but rushed to save others, but Xiao Lian held her down tightly.

The candles in the room were lit, and Cao Wenxian opened her eyes, which were closed because of fear, and saw the empty room. She opened her eyes wide, and for a moment she looked at everything in disbelief.

"Well, do you still remember this place?"

How could Cao Wenxian forget that she spent the scariest night of her life here!
"Where are those cats and dogs?" Cao Wenxian blurted out and asked.

Xiaoling curled her lips and smiled evilly: "Didn't you say you want to be my prince's concubine? Why did my king propose marriage to you, but you refused to agree, and you're kidding me?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ling's face became extremely gloomy. He pinched Cao Wenxian's chin and forced her to look at him: "Didn't you say that you liked me? Why, did you go back on your word?"

Tears rolled in Cao Wenxian's eyes in pain, but she refused to give in: "If I, Cao Wenxian, are really crazy after seeing your true face, I am still happy with you!"

Xiao Ling's hand tightened even more, he had the urge to crush Cao Wenxian into powder, but in the end, he still let go.

"This king knows that what you like is the kind and glamorous fourth prince who likes to pick up stray cats and dogs. It's very simple. This king can show you. Look, the cats and dogs in this room, I They are all well raised, really. Now, are you willing to be my princess?"

Cao Wenxian couldn't tell whether Xiao Lian was asking her seriously or teasing her, she bit her lips tightly and did not speak.

"If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence." Xiao Ling showed a gloomy smile again: "Come here, bring the things up."

Soon a strong man brought a stack of bright red clothes.

"Xiao Ling, I think you are really crazy!" When Cao Wenxian watched in horror as Xiaoling put the bride's wedding dress on her body, Cao Wenxian struggled to break free, but it was useless, her hands and feet were all crushed. Xiao Ling tied her tightly.

Duan Yanlin was furious when he heard the rustling sound above his head, Miss San was an innocent girl who had no strength to restrain a chicken, yet she was bullied by Xiao Ling like this!
Duan Yanlin clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could rush forward and fight that lunatic to the death.But Xiao Lian refused, he signaled Duan Yanlin to wait a little longer.

Waiting any longer, could it be that they really watched the two of them worship and get married? !
Soon, Xiao Ling also changed into her wedding clothes. He turned around to the immobile Cao Wenxian, and asked, "How is it, compared to the crimson riding clothes you wore when you first met me?"

Cao Wenxian couldn't help it, and didn't want to answer Xiao Ling's question at all.

Xiao Ling pinched her chin, turned her back, and forced Cao Wenxian to look into her own eyes: "Look at me."

Tears fell down Cao Wenxian's eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Xiaoling reached out to wipe away the tears on Cao Wenxian's face, then suddenly laughed again, and said, "I know, you are so happy. Let's go, let's worship heaven and earth."

Xiao Ling hugged Cao Wenxian in her arms, and kicked the door back hard with a "snap".

The three people below immediately opened the fence and climbed out. Zhu Chong's first words after coming out were: "My God, this fourth prince is really the craziest person I've ever seen."

Duan Yanlin didn't say a word, his lips were tightly pressed, he must quickly rescue the third lady from this dire situation!
Xiao Lian was the calmest. He observed the room, and there was nothing unusual. Then he took the two of them lightly and hid behind the door.

However, the moment Xiao Lian opened the door to check the situation outside, he clearly saw Xiao Ling's sinister eyes across the entire courtyard, looking straight at him.

Xiao Ling still had a smile on her lips: "Xiao Lian, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

　U1S1, I really like the CP of the Fourth Prince and the Third Miss, hahahahahahaha
