Along the way, the two hurried to the shopping place, but they didn't see Qin Lu.

"Where is the person? Is your shopkeeper really here?" Yuan'er was impatient, pulling Archie and began to question.

But Archie was also confused. It stands to reason that Shopkeeper Qin is here right now. How could there be no one there?
"Girl, it's useless for you to be anxious with me. It's impossible for us to know the whereabouts of our shopkeeper so clearly?" Archie looked at Yuan'er helplessly.

Yuan'er wore a veil and looked at Xiao Si in front of her. Knowing that it was useless to be impatient with him, she hurried back, "Where does your shopkeeper live, take me there?"

"Girl, it's not that we don't want to take you there, the main reason is that you are really our shopkeeper's friend? What evidence do you have to prove that you are a good person?"

Archie looked at Yuan'er with righteous words, and didn't want to listen to her at all.

Yuan'er was even more anxious, counting the time, at this time, the Crown Prince's people should find Qin Lu, "If you don't want your shopkeeper to die, hurry up and take me to your shopkeeper's house."

Archie looked around the garden, the protruding eyes did not seem to be threatening.

After thinking for a moment, Archie reluctantly took Yuan'er to the Qin residence.

When they arrived at the Qin residence, they happened to see Qin Tieniu, and Yuan'er subconsciously saluted, "My servant has seen the prince."

Archie came to his senses when he saw Yuaner's standard etiquette, "Are you from the palace?"

"You don't need to ask more about this." Yuan'er ignored Archie, and hurried to Qin Tieniu, "My lord, where is Miss Qin? This servant has something important to discuss with her."

Qin Tieniu looked at the well-armed girl in front of him, "Who are you?"

"My lord, servants can talk inside." Yuan'er looked around vigilantly, and then whispered to Qin Tieniu.

Qin Tieniu understood and looked at Archie, "Go back first."

"Yes."

After Archie left, Yuan'er followed Qin Tieniu to the front hall of the Qin Residence.

"My lord, is Miss Qin here?"

"Not here, you can talk to the king if you have anything to say."

Qin Tieniu looked seriously at Yuan'er who had taken off his veil, "Are you a maid in the imperial concubine's bedroom?"

"Yes, the servant girl is the first-class maid in front of the noble concubine." Yuan'er knew the relationship between Qin Lu and the prince, so he must know that he is now on Miss Qin's side.

It's just that just after Yuan'er finished speaking, Qin Tieniu's face darkened, and what he had told Qin Lu earlier flashed in his mind.

I have said so many times not to have too much contact with the concubine's people, why don't you listen?
"My lord?" Yuan'er knew that the matter was urgent, so she opened her mouth quickly without waiting for Qin Tieniu to think too much here.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"The servant girl learned that the emperor has entrusted the matter of the family banquet on the eve of the New Year's Eve to the prince. This matter made the imperial concubine and the prince very unhappy. The imperial concubine wanted the servant girl to stay with Miss Qin and wait for the opportunity to tamper with the meal. , and the crown prince is..."

At this point, Yuan'er paused for a moment, looked at the man in front of him, saw that his expression was normal, and then continued: "The prince is looking for someone to take Miss Qin away."

"What did you say?"

Qin Tieniu was originally sitting, but when he heard that Qin Lu was about to be taken away, he couldn't sit still for an instant.

Yuan'er knelt on the ground again the moment he stood up, "My lord, don't be agitated, this servant came here just to let you protect Miss Qin."

"Why does this king believe you?" Qin Tieniu stared at Yuan'er with burning eyes.

Yuan'er was frightened by Qin Tieniu's eyes in an instant, and knelt on the ground in a jerk, "My lord, this servant has already discussed with Miss Qin, we are in the same group, yes, at first I thought of helping both sides, But Miss Qin told me that the imperial concubine and the crown prince just treat me as an abandoned son and don't really care about me..."

She cried and said what was in her heart, trying to make Qin Tieniu believe her.

"My lord, this servant wants to live. I can tell that you and Miss Qin are both good people. I believe that if I help you, I will die well in the end."

Yuan'er looked at Qin Tieniu quietly.

After a while, Qin Tieniu nodded, "Get up and talk."

"So you're here to tip off the news?"

"Yes, I have thought about it for a while, and I can't watch Miss Qin have an accident. If your family banquet fails this time, there will be many people involved. If the emperor finds out that it was the prince's fault, then the slave will definitely be killed by the prince." implicated."

"Then you are not worried that the prince will know that you have betrayed him?" Qin Tieniu stared at Yuan'er.

Although Yuan'er was still scared, she still looked at Qin Tieniu firmly, "My lord, this servant has thought about it carefully, no matter what, you and Miss Qin will not betray this servant, so this servant chooses to trust you."

"Okay, then the king will trust you once."

Yuan'er's hanging heart finally fell.

Qin Tieniu got up again and called Zhang Deshan into the house, "Go and find Qin Lu, don't let her be taken away by the prince's people."

"Yes."

When he heard that the prince's people would take Qin Lu away, Zhang Deshan became impatient, and hurriedly took all his cronies out to find him, and Yuan'er returned to the palace while no one found out.

When Yuan'er returned to the palace, the prince had already left, and the nanny was waiting for the imperial concubine to go to bed.

After the imperial concubine fell asleep, the nanny came to Yuan'er, "Where did you go, you damn girl?"

"Didn't you and the imperial concubine ask me to keep an eye on Qin Lu? I didn't want to go and see what Qin Lu was doing, but unfortunately I couldn't find anyone." Yuan'er finished talking to the mother in frustration, and then yawned.

"Mommy, I'm sleepy, I'll go to bed first."

"Go to sleep."

Mammy left the room without thinking too much.

After Mammy went out, Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that the nanny and the imperial concubine had no doubts, Yuan'er completely relaxed.

On the other side, the prince's people went back to report that Qin Lu had not been found.

"What? Trash, a bunch of trash, and a woman, you can't find them?" The prince angrily threw the teacup at several of them.

Several people knew that the prince was angry, so they didn't dare to hide. After a while, one of them began to bleed from his forehead.

"Tell me what's going on?" The prince sat in the main hall, and the guards faced each other. Finally, one of them barely opened his mouth, "Prince, we searched all the hot pot restaurants, all the shops opened by Qin Lu, and all the streets and alleys of the capital. Yes, I just couldn't find Qin Lu..."

"In other words, she may have disappeared?"

"We sent someone pretending to be a diner to inquire about it, and said that Qin Lu went shopping and never came back."

"It seems that King Yi has made a move." Thinking that King Yi might have done what he wanted to do, the crown prince smiled, "Okay, you all step back."

Following the guards out, the prince thought for a moment, then went back to rest.

And Qin Tieniu's people who had been placed in the Prince's East Palace also withdrew.

Not long after, the man in black came to the palace, "My lord, the prince's people have returned without success. The prince suspects that King Yi took Miss Qin away."
